Lets Just Relax People...

My issues with Rush Limbaugh are not news to anyone I come into regular contact with. So, when I learned last week of the newest incident with RUSHY, I wasn't shocked. I've had a long-standing, completely solitary feud with this bloated gasbag for years now.
So I watched the long form video in which RUSHY makes a case against a woman, Sandra Fluke. Who represents everything he must fear in the world, a strong young woman not motivated by money or religion, just her own autonomy over her body. So, as a young woman after her own autonomy, she nearly wants to get what men are already getting (viagra is paid for under some insurance), pay over a medical expense, WHICH IS WHAT THE PILL IS. I think some of the confusion that entered RUSHY's bloated brainpan is that everyone kept saying BIRTH CONTROL, which perhaps made him (and later Patricia Heaton) believe that this woman was asking the government to buy her condoms. Only someone interested in war and not facts would have taken that assumption and ran with it all the way home. Not only did my beloved RUSHY-bear call this woman a slut and prostitute for "wanting to be paid to have sex" he then asked this woman young enough to be his daughter to videotape her having sex because he "paid for it anyway." When Patricia Heaton joined Rush in this campaign to further shame Sandra Fluke over twitter, It was made clear that ignorance is contagious. It was clear that she did not read Fuke's original testimony either.
LETS FACE THE FACTS PEOPLE; birth control includes the Pill. The Pill doesn't only help ensure a woman doesn't get pregnant when she doesn't choose to, it also regulates countless medical issues like a heavy period, but also, according to Fluke's testimony, a cervical cyst. 
Perhaps RUSHY-bear should just admit he has no idea what a women's reproductive system really does, and he doesn't care. All he knows is, he makes a lot of money and he wants to be buried with it. Good lord, how big is this man's casket going to be???
Disclaimer: My grandfather has been a Rush Limbaugh fan since I was probably 14 years old and I have had to stop myself from constantly asking him why he listens to the man, and why he watches Fox News. But whenever I call now, I try to turn the topics to something else. My grandfather is quite simply of a different generation. We do not agree on many principals, but my grandfather is a good man. Rush Limbaugh, however, I have my doubts right now.
