Rush Limbaugh Greta FULL Wide-Ranging Interview
http://www.youtube.com ^ | July 30, 2013 | You Tube

Posted on 07/30/2013 8:38:15 PM PDT by Whenifhow

Rush limbaugh Greta | Rush Limbaugh joined Greta Van Susteren for the full hour Tuesday night, and Limbaugh spent the first segment of the program bashing President Obama, sharing the "Limbaugh Theorem" for how the president governs, and taking the "slavish media" to task for not holding him accountable. He also had some choice words for Republicans capitulating too much to the Democratic agenda.

On the "phony scandals" controversy, Limbaugh admitted he was stunned that the president was able to survive 2012 with the bad economy on his back. He came up with the "Limbaugh theorem" to explain why so many people hate Obama's policies yet like him and vote for him: he's "constantly campaigning" and never governing who keeps insisting nothing that ever happens in Washington is his fault.

Limbaugh surmised that Obama could only get away with this because of the "slavish media" that will never call him out on anything. He said that most journalists are "all part of the elitist New York-Washington-Boston media academic corridor and they think they are Obama."

He admitted the 2010 midterms, while it resulted in Republican gains, were not necessarily that good for the party, because no one was "articulating an agenda" and all the Republican votes were "anti-Obama" votes, not votes for a viable alternative. He also slammed Republican leadership for brushing aside the tea party and "its conservative base on a number of issues," saying the big problem with the GOP is too much capitulation to what the Democrats want. Why doesn't the Republican Party embrace them, bring them in and try to grow and have at least come up with a way to reach out and attach themselves to these people, a majority of voters? Instead they're capitulating with what the Democrats want. And not just on this, but on immigration, amnesty, whatever you want to call it.

For us dittoheads, Rush said nothing really new last night, which is like reading the Ten Commandments on a granite monument & then coming back later to see that nothing on it has changed.

For those of you in Rio Linda, I mean that about
Rush in a positive way. But the whole show was worth watching just to see the awe on Greta’s face, as though she were thinking, “Everything I have ever been told about this man is a lie!”

Running spots during DWTS, America gots no talent, Bravo channel, or American Idle is the only way to get air time with a certain demographic (uniformed or stupid people).

GREAT Image, simply GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you do Obama posing in a T-Shirt with the Jolly Roger (Skull and crossed bones) with words underneath:

FEDERAL OVERSPENDING WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL THERE IS NO NATIONAL DEBT

I got the idea from a T-Shirt I saw that had the words:

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES.

The inertia of the RINO Wing mindset of the Republican Party has kept the Welfare Democrats in power after the National defeats of Dole, McCain and Romney.

One would think that those 3 painful losses would be called an “out” by the Republican Party.

What has happened is that the Republican faithful just chalk them up to 3 foul balls.

What is lacking is the desire to judge each action or inaction on the merit of whether or not it is good for the Country.

As a result, our political system has been in the Roman end times where the decadent rulers just try to appease the masses by giving them “stuff.”

Our “stuff” is the Welfare Borrow and Spend Shadow Federal Government that consumes 40 % of the Total Federal Government spending.

We beat our chests and complain about our high taxes that go to pay for this Welfare Shadow Government.

The truth is that not one penny of our taxes goes to pay for Welfare, as ALL of Welfare is financed by borrowing from our Grandchildren’s descendants.

Thus, we have two Federal Governments: one that is financed mainly by income from those 54 % who still pay Personal Federal Income Taxes, and the other financed by debt which must be repaid with interest by our Grandchildren’s descendants.

None of the above is recognized as being valid by those that we elect to govern us.

If the economic reality cannot be clearly communicated to our sorry Federal Politicians, then the Financial Markets will do so at the worst possible time.

________

My second point is that of leadership. This is a generational topic, and thus difficult to analyze.

History will show that the Post-WW2 generations in America produced poorly motivated patriotic political leaders, with few exceptions.

History will also show that we, as a Nation, lack the will to punish our politicians who violate the ethics, morality, financial obligations or the written Laws of our Nation.

For example, who was the last US President who went to jail for violating his oath of Office for violating the US Constitution? BTW, he/she would be the next one and also be the first.

__________

The third point is the desire to fail. RINOs are masters at it, and for that reason have kept (for FIVE YEARS) as their Speaker of the US House none other than John “Cave-In” Boehner.

With Sobber John at the helm, there will be no Special Investigation of the Benghazi Massacre, IRS harassment of Welfare Democrat opponents, legal pursuit of Contempt of the House AG Holder, or year to year reduction in Total Federal Spending, etc.

B. Hussein Obama’s legacy will remain intact and in effect as long as “Cave-In” Boehner is kept as Speaker by the sorry House RINOs.

RINOs have their defenses up to label as “Wacko,” “dangerous,” or “radical” any challenge to their dedicated goal of failing to act in the best interests of the Country, and to always Cave-In to the Welfare Democrats.

Blackmail to them is a badge of honor, as they laugh their way to a gold-plated retirement paid for by the debt that they have created.

_________________________________________________________________________

BTW, think about the above comments the next time that someone tries to con you into believing that “we Americans still have a Federal Government that we can be proud of.”

He is only singing to the choir because the media limits him the same way it works against conservatives.

IMO, just the way liberals have been boycotting and putting pressure on conservatives; maybe all the conservatives should do the same things to reporters and the companies that sponsor them.

Hit them in the wallet for the next ten years and see if that changes up things.

In fact, few people have a liberal view, but the press is so overwhelming that you would think they were a vast majority.

IMO, there needs to be a peaceful coordinated effort to boycott sponsors of liberal media. Work it!

Stinkprogress and other lefty websites are trying to spin his comments on Detroit into “Rush says Detroit failed because blacks drove out the whites” . . . this is beyond tiresome.
