...the America of Our Founding

Far be it for me to quote (*shudder*) Rush Limbaugh when he say that the only way for us to return to "The American of Our Founding" is for President Obama to fail in every part of his economic policy programs, his foreign agenda (stopping international drugs from entering the US is a good thing?  Well, if it's OxyContin, Rush would...no, that's a below-the-belt joke), and his Health and Human Services nominee's appointment and confirmation by the Senate.

Far be it for me to ever knock door-to-door-Religion-salesman (okay, there's no 'price,' but they're selling my soul for their time.  There's a few ways (such as the "Other People" trick) to drive them off), but when I, in my wheelchair, have to go answer the door (you try opening a door lock when you're stuck for the day in a chair, when the lock is at eye level, but the house alarm switch is an inch out of reach), I am reminded of what was the "America of Our Founding."

• No health care of any sane manner.  Amputation, leeches, sulpher drugs, etc.  Forget about battling an HMO over blood transfusions or surgery.  There weren't any, period, and HMO's amounted to doctors who happened to be barbers--the red and white rotating stripe?  Clean and used bandages drying.  No real health care of any kind.
• No mass production.  Almost everything we use in our daily lives, even my precious cigarettes, energy drinks, and my computer?  Either not invented or so expensive (Ethe idea of printing something for the world to read?  I.e. a blog in King George's time?) they might as well not exist.  I'd be writing drafts for my manuscripts in pidgeon feather quill using black berrys and sulpher ink on parchment, so typos and dead drafts would be prohibitively expensive.
• Our war in Afganistan wouldn't cost us trillions, it'd bankrupt us.  Then again, no 9/11, but no way of fighting the people behind its equivalent.

Oh, and,

• NO OxyContin, Rush.  You'd be on Morphine and too stoned to do anything, addicted until death or madness, as it was cut with whatever was on hand, because there was no such thing as standardize medicines.  Patents and Snake Oils all over the place.

I heard on MSNBC that he wants America to fail.  Maybe it's just he prefers dying of something penicillin and some 'tussin with codeine could cure, plus a little bedrest (some days off the radio'd actually do him *good,* but that's just me...).  Or maybe he's so hard-core about getting a 'high' better than his Hillbilly Heroin, maybe he wants us back to strick Morphine, that since he can't get a script, he'd rather we also not have any of the things that make his 'job' possible.

Let him use the Republican Time Machine that makes Reagan look like a Saint to go back to the "American of Our Founding" and overdose on Hillbilly Heroin's big brother, Morphine salts, let him go back in time, and let's just go forward like we're meant to.  Maybe that's what he wants.  F$&k him, his show, and I'll see what I can do about giving him some Oxy for a "I Love You for Being Insane" present.

Then again, if Jindal and the rest take his side?  I'd be dying of laughter at their insanity.  Is their plan to be so insane as to kill us all from how stupid they sound?  Maybe.  Sounds illogical enough for it to be something they'd dream up.

All to get us back to othe America of Our Founding.
