There is a fellow that is suing the government for information on how the TARP funds are being spent. Jerry[^] is the fellow in question. He's not asking for money in the suit. He's volunteered at Katrina, Ground Zero, Lake Charles, never asked for anything. His website cause is to get more males involved in nursing, not a porn site. He's an ex military person and not a liberal. Now on to my point: He's tried to get onto Rush's show and was called unamerican by the screener. He tried Hannity's show and was asked if he was an angry liberal. Is this the meme of conservatives for attempting to find out how the banks are spending the trillions of taxpayer money they have? The reason I ask is there is a lot of uproar about Obama's plan, and those same conservative voices have applied the same to the TARP program, yet in the media conservatives seem to apply selective outrage. TARP funds setup by Bush is American, but Obama's is Socialist. Anyone have any views on what exactly the conservative position is on this subject?

Limbaugh and Hannity were both extremely critical of Bush caving on the bailout, just as they have been on republicans supporting Obama now. If this guy was treated as a liberal it was for entirely different reasons. Conservatives are opposed to all of this. Any stimulus needs to be purely in the form of tax breaks, taking money out of the hands of government and keeping it in the free market economy.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

You might be. Your question wasn't.

I can't answer for the call screeners at either show, but I'm fairly certain that Rush and Hannity would have applauded this guys efforts, as do I.
That's what I thought and what I'm trying to reconcile. Thanks for an honest reply. Seems difficult to get these days on this forum.

Don't mention it. I don't know how to produce any other kind, and don't care to learn. Which of course makes me ineligible for congress.

Don't flatter yourself. He doesn't even know who you are, I just asked him. He's currently got Homeland Security focusing on heavy consumption of Cough Syrup. Those people fit the terrorist recruiting profile.

Oh sorry. I didn't realize your posts calling the president names was a sincere attempt at constructive discussion. Here you can have your rolleyes back. :rolleyes:
