I am listening to AM radio this morning, and I am worried about the things I'm hearing and about where they could lead. I seriously think a civil war could be on the verge of boiling over between different factions in this nation that could roughly be called the Haves and the Have Nots. The Haves are the wealthier citizens and they have Rush Limbaugh as their spokesman and many like him on local radio talk programs across America. They are engaging in a war of words against the Obama administration. But what they are really afraid of is that the poor people in this country will suddenly have as much as they do. They offer no thought to how the poor can improve themselves. At most, they just say work harder, but you see, that doesn't work in the real world. For example, during the early part of this decade, certain circumstances compelled me into a situation where I had a criminal record afterwards the only job that I could obtain was as a maintenance man and the person responsible for unloading the

unloading the what? I need to know ! You can't just stop in the middle of

trucks at a fast food restaurant. Things that I was totally not qualified to do. I had taken college prep courses in highschool, gone to college for the most part between the age of 18 and 30 and lived a pretty sedentary much sedentary lifestyle during those years. Yet there I was having to work hard labor at the only job that I could get, and I did it for over two years. I put in twelve hour days, dutifully got up at 4am every morning 3 am on truck unloading days, drove 30 miles to work and 30 miles back every evening. I suffered injuries and risked life and limb at this job trying to build up a "good reputation" Yet at the end of two and a half years there, my car broke down, and I was unable to continue with the job. I haven't found any work since then, and I feel it must be partly due to someone giving me bad referances. I have no idea if that would be my former employer, but I feel that if you do the best you can at something for two years especially if you're not qualified to do so, then you

I'm not an American, and I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, but anyone who thinks that Rush Limbaugh speaks exclusively to the "Haves" in the United States really don't understand what Rush Limbaugh stands for and why people support his worldview ...

From what I have seen most of people who are the most upset with Barack Obama's performance so far are people with very modest incomes. How do you think someone feels when they have been very careful with their money see their savings evaporate and get to pay higher taxes so that their irresponsible neighbors get bailed out? How do you think that a person who earns $10 to $15 an hour and just got laid off feels about Obama's desperate attempts to protect the (often uneducated and unproductive) Auto-workers and (often irresponsible) Bankers who all earn $75,000+ per year.

then you should earn a good recommendation from doing your best. One thing I did notice while working at that company was that if one was related to one of the higher-ups there, then it seemed to be easier to obtain one of the more coveted positions which of course would interfere with the ability of someone without those ties being able to rise up and improve their own lot in life.

the political system in the united states is crap u need to have more then two parties.also i dont see us going into a civil war.there will always be people who disagree and that will make a problem. but i dont see us going to another civil war like i said before

Now I hear Rush saying Obama has declared war on conservatism and that is to account for the near 700,000 jobs lost last month. But I feel that most of those jobs were lost so that company president's could keep the same amount of money going in their pockets. I hear Limbaugh complaing about Obama's proposed bailouts...

but Bush started the bailouts by ensuring that fat cats stayed fat cats while Obama's are geared toward the poor. I don' t remember Limbaugh complaining about Bush's bailouts. He probably justified them. In short, I think the Conservative Republican policies that Rush speaks about favor the wealthy and are geared towards keeping the poor ignorant like workers at fast food restaurants that stand there year after year uncomplaining while their lots inl life never improves yet the money keeps going where it always has

But even though it concerns me, I would like to see and hope to see if worse comes to worse the poor throw off these mental shackles, and there have been Revolutions in the past Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, America and France in 1776, during The Great Depression of the 1930's.

I think you are making an assumption that conservative talk-show and radio personalities are blindly partisan ... Which isn't true, and from what people claim blind-partisanship is one of the things that has killed liberal radio and is attributed to the decline in television news and newspapers.

I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, but I was watching Glen Beck on a semi-regular basis (once or twice a week) around the time when the Bush Bailouts were happening and Glen was as critical as Bush as he has been of Obama.
