"Conservatives want people not to even have to think about government. It's kind of like an operating system in a computer. You just want it to work...Liberals want to run the operating system, and they want to use the operating system against you, or their political enemies."
—Rush Limbaugh

In other words, Conservatives want an ignorant populace that would be easily duped and manipulated. No thanks.

He clearly has no idea what an OS does, much less what is needed for one to be as seamless as he supposedly thinks it should be. After all, every program and user of the OS wants it to do different things, and it has to be able to do them. So what he really wants is a government that can be everything to everyone.

...he's supposed to be anti-communist, right?

Just take your pills and accept that the rich people who own the government know what's best for you. After all, they wouldn't be rich if they weren't smart and wanted the best for everyone.

Yeah, kinda seems contrary to tea bagger/conservative fundamentalism.

Sooo... he thinks there's ever a situation in which not paying attention to what the government is doing is a good idea?

Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is bliss.

I don't understand why we should be concerned about the theoretical misdeeds of the current administration then. Just ignore them. I love the line "...want people not to even have to think about government". Let them get away with anything, that's the way to do things!
