Rush was really good today... He linked the paralysis against Obama (that has gone on since Obama took office) with the timing of Romney coming out to denounce Trump. It made sense to me... here is a bit of it. Link
The divide, the disconnect between what we call the Republican establishment, and not just people supporting Trump, people supporting Cruz, people supporting Rubio, even people supporting Ben Carson, the disconnect between the people, elected Republican class and their voters, is larger, it's a wider gulf than I have ever imagined it could be. It's wider than I thought it was just last week, and Romney's remarks illustrate how they just don't get it.
They have this denial that there's this mountain of criticism for Trump just waiting to be unleashed or that the Trump campaign's gonna implode or that Trump's gonna quit. I mean, they're still harboring fantasies like that. But what became clear to me, both with Romney's remarks and actually some things that people said prior to, but not just prior, after. What really has the Republicans scared is what happened with Trump...
Because the Republican Party, I have now decided, I've figured it, I have suspected it, the reason they don't criticize Obama, the reasons are many, they don't want to be called racists, they want to be seen as cooperating, they want to be seen as bipartisan, but it really is the race. It's really they are paranoid. They are paranoid that the entire American population sees them as racists.
And when Trump, who is now leading the primaries, didn't disavow on that one show, didn't disavow Duke or the KKK, even though he's disavowed them a thousand gazillion times before and after, because he didn't on that one show, that gave them their opening, that scared the death out of them. That's what's animating them about this.
And, gang, it's time to get over that. You're taking this defensiveness about this to the point of paralysis. And nobody ever got anywhere being on defense the entire time, worried about what somebody thinks about you, and then when something happens that supposedly confirms it, going into action to try to disprove it. And Romney even harped on this in his remarks about Trump.
But the problem, nobody thinks Trump's a racist. Nobody think's Trump is a bigot. Nobody thinks that Trump supports the KKK. It's absurd. And yet the Republican establishment is sitting there thinking it's possible. And since he's the standard-bearer now, since he's leading in the primary, they're worried that this is going to be amplified and that more and more Americans are going to see the Republican Party as a bunch of racists.
It's the most ridiculous thing because Trump's supporters do not see him that way at all. Trump is attracting African Americans. He's attracting Democrats. He's attracting Hispanics. What he says about broadening the Republican base is actually happening. So this fear they have over this, being called racist, that really bugs 'em, but all of the other allegations against 'em explains a lot. 1 of 2
It's no wonder they won't oppose Obama. They are totally paralyzed by Obama's race. They will not say one syllable in opposition to Obama. We now know for a fact without a doubt now that the reason they have not made a single move toward stopping Obama is simply because of race. There may be other reasons, but that's the umbrella under which everything else is happening here.
They haven't figured out how to refute this charge for the last 60 years that they're a bunch of racists and so forth. They think everybody believes it. Trump comes along, has that slipup on Jake Tapper's show, even though there's thousands of disavowals before and after, even though nobody thinks that Trump -- I mean, the Drive-Bys are not trying to prove Trump's a racist. They're trying to prove Trump's other things with this continually harping on why didn't you conclusively say what we know you believe, what was the reason you wanted to back off on Tapper's show?
It's not to prove that Trump's a racist. Nobody's even making that charge. But they in the Republican establishment are sitting there thinking that's all anybody's seeing. Ergo, Romney's gotta go out there and disavow Trump. Romney's gotta go out there and disavow Trump on that basis because we can't afford for this -- they're saying in their minds -- for this to continue to be seen.
And it's time to get past that. Because that's phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock 'n' roller stuff anyway. It's not that it's not serious, but the way they're dealing with this is not the way to change people's perception about it.
Most of the Trump phenomenon has been driven by a voter frustration that the establishment of the GOP has not blocked anything Obama has tried to do. Despite handing them a number of electoral victories.
We've suspected that the reason why the GOP would not confront Obama was because they feared Obama would use his trump card against them. The problem with that was that it could never be definitely proven, unless someone would admit it, and I don't think anyone ever has. At least, I don't recall.
Until now, with the timing of Romney's speech, only days after the David Duke flap.
Their biggest fear about to be realised, or so they thought.
Did you notice when they showed tools they also showed the kanji for "tool?"
It was something + tool. And this proves those little stick drawings stay with you, like, forever. If you look in translator it will show "tool" to look like a smiley face, not that one, click it for options, on the list should be the kanji option. Kanji tool will be on the results sub list.
Also when they showed the first stack of books they showed the kanji for "book" and that seems strange because it's the second symbol for "Japan." And I've wondered about this since 9 years of age; why does Japan translate to Sun book country? What does book have to do with it?" Does the sun rise in the sky like a book opening and closing? Backwards in Japan. Could be. Is it entirely phonetic? No, because it's motto is land of the rising sun. (As if other lands are not, how presumptuous, but whatever.) Ni hon koku, I originally learned ni pon koku.
Conclusion: Japan is not "land of the rising sun" rather, its "sun book country." It's right there in their stick pictures.
Did you notice the first big fat Japanese book being repaired, printed on tissue paper and double column printing inside like a bible, said, "Concise English dictionary?" That made me laugh.

Wow! Just wow! I made a discovery today in my garage that's going to help me help me get this plastic drink business going!
Not once but twice.
Did they commit sepiku after completing the book restoration?
