European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 16, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Limbaugh s use of facts is the Way it ought to be Roger Seeholzer read the dec. 19 be our guest column head lined Limbaugh s fiction is True tripe an wondered what s the controversy in Rush first Book the Way things ought to Belthe editorialist s opinion never voiced the reason for opposition. Did the Book touch upon an area he held near and dear to which the Book poignantly pointed out logical objections to him to this we will never know for he never countered or stated Rush s assertions in the Book. Once again an other squeamish objection based not in fact but in opinion is registered. It is always amazing How negative respondents to Ward Limbaugh s viewpoints run out of facts before they Ever state them and then degenerate into name calling diatribes on his use of labels to weigh levity on an Issue. For instance the Only piece of his Book quoted by the writer entered on tree Hugger and Fem nazis. Opening laugh Bond Northants England looks like trouble sheriff did he define either no because if he did others would be informed and then be Able to disagree with him and at that Point skip his opinion and read the rest of the newspaper for newsworthy Content. This is from the Way things ought to be a Fem nazi is a feminist to whom the most important thing in life is ensuring that As Many abortions As possible occur. To which there Are fewer than 25 women in All of the this is a valid definition for a militant feminist and bears remembering. Note this does not refer to feminists in general. So in this column i at least mention one fact presented in the Book. It s up to you the Reader to verify the reasoning behind the definition As to its Validity. I take objection to the accusation that i am mindless for Reading the Way things ought to be. I assume that being a graduate student and an accomplished writer classify me As mindless because i have read and agreed with the conservative View Point therefore All people who believe in principles the country was founded upon i.e., making informed decisions based on facts presented logically Are mindless. Does this also classify in excess of four million people As mindless for owning copies of the Tome Rush Limbaugh does not have a mindless following. Rather he has something much More powerful he has an audience. People who make informed Deci Sions based on All the facts presented from both viewpoints or has the writer Ever really viewed or heard the shows and come to conclusions independently pose no threat to the informed. Rather they pose a threat to the ill mis and uninformed. Now when one person opposes the socialistic pro Grams advanced As democracy some View National medical health care As such is he picked out to be lynched other than Limbaugh where is the Public outcry better where is the Media outcry there is none. Rather they have overlooked Many controversies in order to further the Agenda. The health care act will build upon an Ever in creasing government. To which we could add where Are the cuts we were promised a 25 percent Cut in the White House staff. Who was Cut instead of this More personnel were added. How about ethics where is the special prosecutor for travel Gate people were wrongly fired through misuse of government agencies somali Gate americans were murdered postal Gate Money was dispensed without reprisal Naf Agate wait for the disguised tax increases to come from Thisa cognate innocent children killed Only because the government was tired and military Gate placing our troops under foreign control despite the Constitution. Where is the outcry against All this we Are being sold a Bill of goods and Only one stands up publicly Rush Limbaugh. The questions raised Here Are too numerous for adequate discussion in this forum but they need to be addressed. It s a shame that Only one is willing to be the focus of attack but through his efforts others Are now willing to take a stand. We shall now Start defending by fact what the opposition states by Only opinion and rhetoric. Roger sae Holzwo works at Rhein main a Germany.
