We Are at Triage, Folks

We Are at Triage, Folks

Rush Limbaugh Sept 17, 2009 (last 10 minutes of program)

Let me review for you what is happening. Do you understand? They've taken over the mortgage market --- 90% of it. The Federal government is in charge of determining who gets a mortgage. And it's not just the Federal government; it's the Obama branch of the Federal government. It's the Obama administration. This is Obama's America. The Republican Party has not taken over Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. That was done by Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton, and Barney Frank, the banking queen.

The House just voted today to take over in its entirety the Student Loan program. As soon as next year there will be no private lending for the student loan program -- in six months. Now what this adds up to is the Federal government is in charge of who gets money. The Obama administration is literally taking over all control of access to money in this country. They've got the banks under their spell. They are sitting on Wall Street. They've got their favorite plays up there. They've got Goldman Sachs, and the rest have bull's eyes painted on them.

So, if they can taken over the Student Loan market, if they can take over the home loan market, and they own the car companies, pretty soon the Obama administration is gonna sit there and be the determining factor in who gets money, in the form of loans -- to grow a business, send a kid to school. This is not the Republicans doing this. And this is not what Washington has always done. This is the biggest power grab ever. This IS radical, leftist fascism that has gotten its hooks into this country. And if you want to sit out there and say there is no difference in the two parties, you go ahead and delude yourselves. And I say that not to defend the Republican Party.

I am telling you what we face is an onslaught of radical leftism like we have never faced before. This is not Washington as usual. This is Washington on steroids, being run by radical leftists who have had designs on this since the sixties, and even prior to that. You think it might matter whether you are Republican or Democrat when you want to get your kid a Student Loan. Do you think it might matter if they can find out who you contributed to in the election campaigns? Do you think it might matter when it comes to Healthcare when they take that over? Do you think it might matter whether your procedure gets approved or not, depending on where you’re political loyalties lie....?

Don't tell me the Republicans are doing this kind of stuff. The Republican's big sin is to sit there and say nothing while this is happening.

I understand totally the overwhelming disgust you have for Washington; and I understand the overwhelming desire to lump them all together. But folks, you got to be more discerning. As inept, as elitist, and as moderate, blue-blood country club as the Republicans are, they are not fascists; they are not socialists; they do not look down their nose at the private sector and try to destroy it....

The Republican Party has problems; do not misunderstand me, but nothing posed by the Republican Party is as threatening as what Obama is doing. You may not want to admit this; you may want to believe something else. I'm telling you this is about ideology. We are fighting a fascist, socialist---whatever you want to call it---TAKEOVER and REMAKING of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. I don't know the Republican yet who wants to tear up the Constitution and rewrite it. I don't know who that Republican is. I don't know the Republican who wants to take over the mortgage business. I don't know the Republican who wants to be in charge of EVERY DOLLAR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO.

(snip)

You want to tell me this is just about Washington---that Washington in general has to go? Maybe it does, but WE ARE AT TRIAGE. WE ARE AT THE TRIAGE STAGE right now where our country is concerned. And that means you deal with what you can deal with, and you leave aside what you can't save. Right now the biggest threat we face is not Washington per se; it's those who are running it.

With Rush currently under attack from smears about his alleged "racist" remarks, which fabrications undermined his interests in owning an NFL football team, I would like to post for FR history what I think was one of the greatest clips in radio history.

Maybe this might be why he is really being attacked? His insistance on telling it like it is. I can count the men routinely and unambiguously speaking against tyranny in this country over the airwaves or in Congress on one hand. He deserves our support and our prayers.

Will you please remove Obama’s name beside Rush Limbaugh (underneath the title) — don’t know what I did to get it there; think I meant Obama as a keyword. Thank-you

I wonder when Rush and his fellow talk show hosts will talk about EXACTLY what we should do?

I think you’re right on the money. The whole football fiasco was an intentional set-up, distraction, and smear job. Now back to speaking the truth about this administration. Everything they do proves Rush right every day. Rush needs to talk louder and more often. And the silent majority needs to let Congress hear ‘em loud and clear!!!

This has to come to the attention of Rush & Beck next. This is the next big battle. We knew it was coming.

talk about EXACTLY what we should do?

We can't do a goddamned thing.

A couple of State Governors with balls have to get together and refuse to comply with any more communist BS coming out of these red SOB that have taken over DC.

All it takes is one state to secede and that tyrannical house of cards on the Potomac will fold like a cheap suit.

Refuse and resist the mandate to purchase health insurance.

We are past them being able to help us.

Problem is we all know what needs to happen.

“the silent majority”

Are you referring to the cowering Repubs in Congress hiding in the Congressional cloakroom saying, What can we do? They are in the majority?” LOL

Pressure needs to be put on the Repubs, & the question needs to be hammered to moderate Dems: Is this what you really voted for? Is this what you thought Hopey Changey meant?

“The Silent Majority” are to blame for the cultural AND political rot in this country for the past several decades. “The Masses are Asses” indeed.

MAybe after what Rush just went through the last few days he may wake up as to just how far we have moved in hte last week or so.

Maybe he’ll even start to address the BC issue on a regular basis and expose the whole truth.

Let’s see what he is willing to put on the line.

Thanks for the ping! <3

He said on his show, today, that these are ‘dark days’. When Rush says that....and he’s usually very optimistic....you know something’s VERY wrong. VERY wrong, indeed.
