Thanking GOD for “ Un-Guides ” – Rush Limbaugh … ( 09 / 01 / 2014 )
I do prefer to speak of & share about positive role models , and yet I continue to maintain that it is almost as important for us to learn to see the " mean " & the " crazy " & the " annoying " & even the " bad " or " evil " people in our lives as valuable teachers as well . For while the former re-mind us of The Way of selfless Love , the latter re-mind us of the un-Way of selfish fear . While the former in- Courage us to openly Care for others , the latter re-mind us not to gossip about or denigrate or shun or attack our enemies . While the former inspire us to reach out and sacrifice for those around us , the latter re-mind us to avoid protecting ourselves or " loving ourselves first " or " establishing healthy boundaries " ... In essence , the former show us what to Do , while the latter show us what not to .
And so , to honor the man who originally led me to this priceless concept and most potent " Life-Hack ", I now pay humble tribute to this series ' 3rd & final " Un-Guide ": Rush Limbaugh … Indeed , this entire " use your enemies as Un- Guides " concept was born one day long ago when , after listening to yet another pseudo-racist & highly inflammatory tirade from Limbaugh , I turned to a good friend who had been listening along and noted -- with no small amount of fervor -- that the easiest way for anyone to find objective Truth in life was to listen to Rush Limbaugh and then believe the exact opposite of whatever he happened to say … While originally meant to be an offhand tidbit of humor , I then started to test this theory on a number of similarly acerbic , bigoted &/ or judgmental Un-Guides in my life -- a test which met with an astounding amount of success … So without further ado , I give you a " False Prophet " for all ages , and all the ages -- Rush Limbaugh . Please consider ...
* Where Rush says " If you feed the children three square meals a day during the school year , how can you expect them to feed themselves in the summer ? [ They are ] wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the State " ( from The Rush
Limbaugh Show , December 2011 ), we can respond by going forth into our communities to feed the hungry .
* Where Rush says " Feminism was established to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society " ( from The Rush Limbaugh Show , August 2005 ), we can respond by going forth into our communities to be especially kind to the strangers our egos incorrectly judge to be " ugly " or " scary " or " plain " or " unattractive ".
* Where Rush says of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill : " The ocean will take care of this on its own ... It ’ s natural . It ’ s as natural as the ocean water is " ( from The Rush
Limbaugh Show , May 2010 ), we can respond by remembering that it is never too late to Care for the Earth we are still so callously destroying -- that it is never too late to recycle , or bike to work , or save water , or go vegan , or champion alternative energy sources instead of using fossil fuels .
