@georgeob1,
First of all, hello. Our old friendship is apparently in a bad spot these days. Perhaps in the manner of a marriage. That analogy came to mind when I found myself a while ago casing local bars to inquire if any retired RCMP officer might be interested in heading south to murder you. I found three. They all wanted at least three hundred bucks and, hey, you're important to me but not that much.
Quote:I doubt that Limbach has made as much as have the Clintons out of a variant of the same game.
Actually, maybe three hundred would be worth it. You didn't spend a lot of time thinking that one through. We won't spend a lot of time on income but we'll note that Limbaugh's yearly income is approximately Bill's net worth. I can dig up sources if you care about that.
The far more critical error you make is to compare what they do. I really don't know how you could get where you got in that sentence other than through an axiomatic formulation (If a conservative does X then a dem will have done it too). Such formulations are quite resistant to evidence, which is why they are...um...handy. I presume you are talking about the Clinton Foundation in your sentence. I wonder what you actually know about it. Let's just take one element, Clinton Global Initiative (following from Wikipedia):
Quote:CGI is a non-partisan organization that convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. Each year, CGI hosts an Annual Meeting in September, scheduled to coincide with the U.N. General Assembly. Throughout the year, CGI helps its members – primarily corporations, NGOs, and government leaders – maximize their efforts to create positive change. CGI is not a grant-making organization. CGI Annual Meetings have brought together more than 150 heads of state, 20 Nobel Prize laureates, and hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations and NGOs, major philanthropists, and members of the media. As of 2013, CGI members have made more than 2,300 commitments, which have improved the lives of over 400 million people in more than 180 countries. When fully funded and implemented, these commitments will be valued at $73.5 billion.
As noted,
that is just one element of CF operations in the world. As you likely know, various endeavors related to CGI operations have included the cooperative efforts of ex President George Bush Sr.
What, pray tell, has Rush Limbaugh done either in America or out in the broad world which has any echo of this at all? He has made donations to (and facilitated others to donate to) leukemia and lymphoma research and he's supported the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. That's all I can find. His donations over the last decade appear to equal something close to what he make in Jan and Feb of this single year.
And then there's the rather significant element of what Limbaugh has been saying/doing via his talk radio perch for two decades. And if you imagine America is better for that then you probably also have concluded that Donald Trump is just what America needs to be that city on the hill. And that kind of works out because he's all yours now. Congrats.
