it was once told a story about a man who went to africa on a safari. he said there was a place that you could put in a quarter in a machine and get a hand full of food that you can give to the baboons that hung around there. the problem was that the baboons stopped going back into the wild to find their own food and just stayed there for the free hand out. on top of that the baboons were having babbies that never learned how to go out into the wild and find their own food. it was generation after generation that now had no idea how to survive on their own. now if i compare this to welfare that now makes me a racist why? is it not true if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day but teach him to fish you feed him for a life time?

Its not racist, its a true to life comparison. If it was baby elephants and not baboons, people wouldn't view it as racism.

A "racist" is usually someone who is winning an argument with a liberal. Seriously though, I think Rush owes the baboons an apology. Comparing them to these cockroaches who have lived for generation after generation on welfare in our inner cities is insulting to the baboons.

There's no place to feed baboons in Africa. Baboons
are a dangerous animal. There are places like this in
America. Why did he refer to Africa? Rush is actually
a baboon himself. Probably much worse than the people
on welfare. He had wealth but still was stupid enough
to regress back to low life activities. He's a disgrace
to white conservative america.

The reason this is racist is because Rush purposely chose the baboon reference to African Americans. The rest of the story doesn't really matter. Rush is a radical right wing bigot.

Baboons in Africa? Not exactly un-racist. Why didn't he just tell the teach a man to fish story, and then have me wish that somebody would take away his fishing pole so he could see just how difficult it is to be in someone else's shoes?

Don't worry, the words "racism" and "hate" in todays popular culture are reserved for anyone who wins an arguement with a liberal.

When their debate is lost, they hurl "racism" in a last ditch effort to discredit. The fact is minorities harbor much more racism than does the majority.

It isn't just white kids that score high on SATs, recent black immigrants score better than the liberal blacks in America who have been here for three generations.

Minorities know that playing the race card PAYS. This is why even though Republicans have elevated blacks to the highest positions their race has ever held, liberal blacks still vote for Democrats because they dole out the welfare checks and social programs.

Data on recent black immigrants from Africa easily suggest that the liberal culture of blacks in America is far more determining than their skin color in regards to success..

New black immigrants find American schools tolorant, jobs easy to find and become part of society instead of living off of it.

You are right, the white majority needs to stick together much more. We are the majority. We created and founded this country.

DNA testing proved once and for all that "native" Americans are not native to the Americas at all. They are actually Asians. In fact the oldest remains ever found in our hemisphere were found along the banks of the Columbia River, it (Kennewick Man) has the skull of a white man not the Mongolian shull of the Indians.

White people can and should be AT LEAST as proud of their race as any other minority is of their race.

It is not anymore racist for us to be proud of our race than it is for the congressional black caucus to be proud of theirs.

WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER! Join the Nationalist Movement. The Nationalist Movement is our counterpart to the Congressional Black Caucus, ***** College Fund and the NAACP put together.

Just don't listen to LIBERALS of any color. They only want to destroy America and they know the easiest way is to destroy the very people who founded it: White Males

The term "political-correctness" is also a liberal term, it really should always be understood as "liberal political-correctness" as it is always a fad that only benefits liberals and minorities.

The new push my friend is MAJORITY RIGHTS. We are the majority and we should be proud.

Join the Nationalist Movement at: www.nationalist.org

Now just watch all the people that respond after me. -Even though I said NOTHING at all negative about blacks, they will hurl the race card time and time again or they will say that I am full of "hate." God forbid being white AND proud. To them the only good white is a liberal one who panders to them.

He is not criticizing anyone except the UN. He is saying that giving food to starving Africans will not help them learn to prosper by themselves. He is right in saying this and is in no way making a racist remark.

Most the answers you receive will say that Rush is a Conservative idiot because, as you learn from South Park, half the United States is retarded, hence the Left Wing Liberals.

No, if you teach a man to fish he fishes for a while, until the biggest fisherman start buying each other out and pretty soon the regular guy who you just taught to fish can't compete with the corporate fisherman so he loses his house and his boat and his wife leaves him and he ends up having to get a lousy minimum wage job at WalMart until he dies early of cancer with no health insurance. It's the republican cycle of life.

Acuna Matada!

And how much of your own food do you raise yourself? Any? A few tomato plants in the summer? Maybe if they had supermarkets in Africa they wouldn't have to worry about having to grow their own food. Being a farmer is a TOUGH job, with deer, racoons and other vermin constantly trying to eat your garden. As for welfare, it's only a temporary situation. What about corporate welfare? That is out there too.

I don't listen to Rush "hilly billy heroin popper" Limbaugh. As far as I'm concerned, his credibility is NIL. He's just a mindless hatemonger. Plus, he doesn't even PRACTICE what he PREACHES! Is HE in jail for being a druggie? NO. And, he should turn himself in, instead of hiding behind his lawyer.

Its not racism its an exact comparison. If the scientist saw the same actions in another breed of animal, cougar, bear, or deer, your question would have no reason to exist.
