I'm a stalwart fan of Rush Limbaugh going back to 1992 - and I usually manage to listen to his full program by way of my 24/7 membership at his website; however, yesterday I got so pissed at El Rushbo's defeatist attitude......
It’s a coup, Snerdly is trying to take over
You need to find a new hobby.
What needs to happen to right America’s course is far beyond the capabilities of a single man.
There is not going to be a civil solution to the American Left.
Not to flame but I found him refreshingly honest. Rush seems to be realizing that nearly everything he has believed in over the past 40 years is flawed. He opened his show by acknowledging that illegal immigration has changed the demographics of America and that this will be the demise of the GOP. He continued that both parties have waved in the hordes. Frankly I’ve waited decades for him to see the light.
I stopped paying much attention to Rush a long time ago. He’s focused on business and making money and he does a show that furthers those goals. Being a fake revolutionary can be profitable. Being a real revolutionary is risky. Rush is not actually going to challenge the Deep State.
My problem w/Rush (and most talk shows) is he fully describes the issues and problems -which we already know about - but not once does he propose any solutions.
It’s beyond frustrating. I used to scream at the radio “we already know that, Rush, what can we do about it?”.
I had to stop listening to keep my blood pressure in survivable limits.
Until there is any credible evidence of this Deep State Purge actually happening, it is probably wise that people are less than optimistic.
President Trump has far exceeded my personal expectations on most issues, but he has also shown poor judgement on some of the people that he has put into various positions.
Maybe this Deep State Purge will come to pass, but chances are nothing will really change.
It sucks, but one person cannot bring that level of change, and he has very few allies in that town that will help.
You must have listened to a different show that I did. I think Rush was explaining his frustration with the lack of law and order in this country.
And he always keeps saying, “I’ll let you know when it’s time to panic”.
I hate to tell him but we passed the panic point decades ago.
Is this you, Barrack? Or is it Valerie.
I lost a lot of interest when he started taking it easy on BJ Clinton a long time ago. I’ll still catch a few minutes here and there around lunchtime if nothing else interesting is on. I prefer him over Savage and Beck, probably in that order, haha.
these were the real revolutionaries:

Baptists, the Regulators and Capt. Benjamin Merrill
“The Regulation movements instead of being a lawless aggregation seeking to overthrow the State government as was claimed was only the crystallization of honest patriotic sentiment seeking by concert of action to secure to themselves and people at large their just rights against the usurpation of official tyranny and corruption which so sorely oppressed them. Many of these officials were foreigners who were political favorites of the Crown and had come over to achieve a fortune, and, being corrupt at hearts they persistently oppressed the people to that end. Mr. Caruthers in his Life of Caldwell says in regard to the causes which led up to the organization of the Regulators and the battle of Alamance that “The people were defrauded by the clerks of the courts, by the recorders of deeds, by entry-takers, by surveyors and by lawyers: every man demanding twice or three times his legal fee.” It is no wonder that the people sought a reformation in the management of public-affairs. The sheriff were sometimes very insulting as well as exacting. Caruthers, in Revolutionary Incidents first series, gives an illustration.
When the sheriff was going over the country distraining and selling the property of every man who did not instantly pay the amount of tax demanded accompanied too by his deputies and perhaps some others, well armed and attending him as a life-guard he came to the house of a poor man who was not at home; but as if determined not to be wholly disappointed in his object, and not finding anything else, or not enough of anything else to satisfy his demands, he took off his wife’s dress which she had on at the time and which she had made with her own hands, sold it under the hammer for her husband’s tax; and then; giving her a box or slap with his hand., told her to go and make her another.
Just such acts as this with many others equally outrageous; caused the people to organize. The same author says:
“It does not appear on the pages of history that the people of North Carolina were disposed to rebel, without a cause, against the authority of those who were properly authorized to administer the laws, or that they ever refused to pay whatever taxes might be necessary for the support of the government; but they were at all times ready, when they had the powers to resist oppression or flagrant encroachments on their rights.”
“
I had thought MAYBE, just maybe, the tea party might evolve into something like the regulators IF needed- but nope- no such luck
Kind of makes you wonder if Rush is a safety valve. He says a lot of stuff that makes sense to conservatives, and makes them feel heard, but it goes nowhere. “Well, maybe Rush will address my concerns on a future show, I’ll get back to work to pay my bills”, is probably a common thought. Trump makes a lot of us feel heard, and that something could actually get fixed. I hope the deep state loses sleep over that.
He never went in for the birther stuff either.
Maybe because he knows QANON is a hoax?
This is a Q thread hiding behind Rush. I know there are rules about that.
To my knowledge, no major deep state actor has gone to jail. What many call "deep-state", I call individuals with an anti-American liberal and/or globalist world-view. Unfortunately, our media, education system, judicial system, a large segment of business - are dominated by liberals and globalists.
IMHO, it will take a miracle to restore the nation back to being a constitutional republic. It will require trying and jailing seditious judges, representatives, and citizens; trying and hangings all traitors.
At this time, there is no will in government to do what needs done.
No, he keeps his distance from it. Rush deals with reality.
Rush is protecting his brand. Discussing Q openly leads to frontal attacks from the MSM on him and his advertisers. He is fully aware of Q and even posted a phito he took in the White House of a bookshelf with a brass “Q” sitting on it.
