Letter: An Angry White Man

As someone already angry in the late 1980s and early ’90s, I used to drive around Portland and Vancouver listening to Rush Limbaugh explain to me what was wrong with this country. I did that for, oh, maybe six months. Then I realized that Limbaugh was limited in his themes and style. He had no solutions, only ways of making me stay irrationally mad. A few years ago, jawing about angry racial minorities he had this to say: “They believe they’ve been cheated; they’ve been discriminated against. They’re taught this country is unfair, unethical and discriminatory. They’re taught that this country is immoral and unjust.” Yep, for years old Limbaugh has worked over his own angry minority: gullible white men/Arthur Ruger, letter to the editor, SR. More here.
