The United States of America is over! I just heard it from Rush Limbaugh! He knows everything so he can’t be wrong can he? I’m sure I missed the announcement that Limbaugh is moving out of America as he always implied he would; remember “I’ll tell you when it is time to panic.”
I can only conclude Rush is right. Isn’t he? I mean because Rush and a seemingly endless parade of conservative “thinkers” have said so, I must now put my pitchfork away because there is no use in trying. Rush told me so. He’s not wrong, right?
By Limbaugh’s thinking the few of us who want to fight should give up and stay home next year. That will give us 300 Democrats in Congress and 80 seats in the Senate so Franklin Delano Obama to finish us off. But giving up is all that Rush can say so that’s all we need to know.
I know I’m giving not up even though Rush said I should. YES we got kicked in the ash by this deal, but I really don’t give a damn what Limbaugh or anyone else says about what the future of my country will be. It will be up to me and other TEA partiers to save America and that is what we will do.
Rush might think we will accept “It can’t be fixed because it is in the budget from last year and the year before that and so on,” but he is very wrong, very wrong indeed!
Limbaugh can sit in a mud puddle sucking up dirty water, feeling sorry for himself and, but I’ll keep fighting. I have a family to protect and a nation to preserve so I don’t have the luxury of self-pity…..

I’ve been saying America is over for a while now. I’ll get flamed, but that is my take on things.
Yes, we need to keep fighting on that small chance that the middle-class liberals will wake up and become Conservatives, but I’m not banking on it.
KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT, but at the same time, I really belive the American experiment has ebbed and is inevitably sliding toward socialism.
Half of the voters are on the take, and that is the reason for my conclusion. They will accelerate voting themselves largesse from the public treasury. Many of them are women who will always vote for security over liberty. Not all women who vote that way are among the throngs of non-producing takers. There are many successful liberal women who continue to vote themselves into bondage if it means increasing apparent security.
Every person 40 years and younger has been through government schools that are mainly socilist and indoctrinated students into loving socialism. They don’t even teach US history in the schools anymore.
Add in a huge influx of non-assimilating immigrants who care only for their financial freedom but want socilized medicine and every other form of entitlement.
Add that up.
Add up all of the people on a government paycheck directly, add all the children successfully brainwashed in government schools, add in the unassimilated immigrants and illegals, and top that off with business leaders that don’t give a rats ass if they make their profits in the USA or abroad.
I added that up and I came to the inescapable conclusion that we have already passed the tipping point toward hard Socialism. It won’t be really long before we become Italy - maybe 2 full generations.
I won’t stop fighting but it is just a rear-guard delaying action now. The socialists have won. All they have to do is keep up the pressure and wait. Their diamond is baked into the cake.
Sorry to be pessimistic but I know where all this is going. We are screwed. They liberals screwed your great-grandchildren who won’t know but a fraction of your freedom or quality of life. Damn those liberals to hell all you want but you can’t change reality.
I get on my knees and thank the Lord I was born in 1958 and not later, and I knew the freedom and glory of America in its late days and not after the socialist take-over.
If the continuance of our Republic is dependent upon Rush we are in very bad shape. But, fortunately (or unfortunately), it now and always has depended upon the People.
It is the People that have put this nation where it is (good and bad) and if it is to continue it will be the People who enable it to do so. Only the People can recognize its mistakes and rectify them.
Rush has been using at least three deceptive and valid arguments/analogies against any deal: 1) the alleged lack of need for “victors” to compromise; 2) inflating the result of putting a few more conservatives in the House; and 3) the idea of 2010 being some sort of final or decisive victory.
He is acting as if taking back the House gave us the whole show like Ike conquering Germany. It is a totally different thing not at all comparable.
We had a landslide victory, particularly in the states, but that does not (as in a parliamentary system) give us total control of the national government. Our government is not designed to change rapidly and on the turn of a dime. It is NOT a pure democracy.
There was no final victory in 2010 like in the Super Bowl. No winner take all kind of deal. Rather, we won the first quarter but the game is not over and not assured. Only by showing the patience and persistence of the Left can we win the game. The danger, which Rush is fanning, is that we become disillusioned and turn against the Tea Party and the GOP and allow Urkel another term.
I’ve been listening and Rush is not being helpful. It happens on occasion. Once he goes and plays some golf he will return to normal.
Thy Will Not Mine Be Done.
That is not true. He is not a Romneyista.
Guess you have not figured out as yet that the ballot box along with the soap box and the jury box just do not work. A very smart fellow by the name of Albert Einstein once said that doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is INSANITY. So to all of you naive fools and your claims that 2012 is going to be different all I can do now is to laugh. How many more times do you have to be kicked in the head before you see? If you do not agree with me I do not care so do not bother replying. Today I am a husband and a father and will do what I need to do, however distateful, to provide for my family. Several months ago I laughed at the young guy at the job I used to have about his naivety about the effect that the 2010 election was to have and I am laughing at anyone who is STUPID AND NAIVE enough to believe that anything will change even with a republican super-majority. Ha! They were such dedicated Constitutionalists and Conservatives the last time these closet scum-bags controlled the three branches of government. Some people just like to be used over and over again. This time count me out as I can no longer stand the stink of decay from this once great nation.
Regardless of what Rush says - America, as we knew it, has been over for sometime now. There are only two choices: Live it, moving with the flow or moving to another country (Where, I don’t know. America is the last bastion of freedom in the world. Maybe Mars ?) Or we can fight it.
This budget thing just means that a loaf of bread will suddenly cost 15 trillion dollars instead of 2 trillion dollars, when it happens. It will mean violence in the streets, and a reduced security in our daily lives... At some point.
As a dry run, I took a spin out last night in my town, which had just suffered a wide-spread power failure. A very dark place, indeed. Complete and utter pandemonium. This is where we are heading. Darkness, with riots, looters and mobs of people behaving like wild dog packs to get what they want.
Our America has been dead for awhile. The real choice is what is going to fill it’s void: Another Constitutionally backed, judeo-christian capitalist example of freedom, or an oppressed Sharia-leaning marxist / socialist dictatorship from which there is no escape.
We are on our way to the latter.
I’m sure Rush feels the same way a lot of people do right now and he’s only human to be frustrated and say something he probably doesn’t mean like moving out of the country? I too have this feeling that even though Boener and the House tried their damnedest, we still got shafted by the Dem’s (the devil is in the details) It feels like an anti-climactic ending to probably the most critical moment in our nations history...if they downgrade the AAA rating...it WILL be the end of America as we new it. They should have cut more. I was hoping it would fail in the Senate. Watch the Dem’s and Harry Reid spin it into a victory for them, making the GOP & the Tea Party look like idiots with the lame-stream media rolling with it.
Great line. Let’s wait too see how long before somebody steals it.
The war isn’t over. It is time for the People to keep the pressure on.
I was so startled by how Rush`s Monday show sounded so off and misguided that I realized how often Rush has a thought-provoking and original point of view.
So he`s had a couple of down days--big deal. Limbaugh has been putting on a great show for 20+ years--I couldn`t even get beyond the excerpt of this guy`s piece for the whining about Rush`s supposed whining. When `coachisright` has been consistently original and informed for a couple of decades, maybe I`ll be able to get through one whole piece he`s written, but I doubt it.

Baseline Budgeting, 1974 Budget Act of NIXON== it must be repealed. THERE is something that would have stopped ALL of this BS cold.
This act is the reason we got kabuki theater lies from Boehner and McConnell. McCain- he’s still in hanoi and treating for favors with his jailers in dem party. Very sad.
IF Rush actually said that the listener missed the sarcasm.
you either don't listen to Rush or you are outright lying.
In the past month or so Rush has stated that Mitt's stance on AGW (and another issue -- I can't recall) will doom Mitt's chances.
Rush has stated on multiple occasions that his beliefs are most in line with Sarah's. Rush truly admires Sarah Palin.
Thanks, I like yours too.
Coach is WRONG that is not what Rush said. Coach needs to clean the sh*t out of his ears. Obviously not a Rush fan because if he did listen today or any other day he would know that Rush has been fighting the good fight for many many years. He is not crying, he is frustrated over COMPROMISING something Republicans do on a regular basis and democrats NEVER do. COMPROMISE is what got us into this mess in the first place. It’s time to wake up AMERICA!
That "coach" fellow doesn't write very well, does he?
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

You are the expert in American history here and I am sure that you can elaborate, for those who do not know, how the government is set up so that it CANNOT change overnight or on a dime. This is a persistent problem here in that people (Rush acts like he does not know better) immediately start attacking the GOP for not being dictators.
What is happening is much like someone condemning the 300 because they did not destroy the entire Persian army.
