I am afraid he is right. What are we going to do about it?
(The parallels to the slavery debate of the 1830s, the maintenance of a work force underclass are actually amazing to me. Illegal alien employers are the plantation owners, and supporters of the Senate Immigration Bill are taking their politics from Calhoun, while conservatives think that immigrants should be free men who contribute to the socio economic strength of the country, not bleed it dry and change our nation irretrievably to one with a permanant group of underclass citizens who are equivalent to slaves and indentured servants to the blue blood aristocrats of the Republican and Democratic parties.)
You might want to hop into this thread from a few minutes ago...

Ahhhhhhhhhh, no one wants to hear this. After Buchanan went off the res, he was an anti-semitic, then when Tancredo went off, he was unelectable, Lou Dobbs was pandering for ratings, Malkin is not REALLY conservative, Thomas Sowell is getting old, NOW Limbaugh is just wrong, probably happens once in a while.
He should sound the clarion call next week. Seems there is no one else that carries weight any more.
Gee, when I said this two weeks ago, I got branded a troll and a Bush-hater.
It's the country club Republicans and the blue-bloods trying to take back the party from the conservatives
This is true and most of who Rush is talking about are probably Trilateralists, Council on Foreign Relations, and wannabee Commissars of the NWO.
You must have been precient, a true curse in the field of political discussion, LOL
Things are much clearer now that the Senate and the Administration have shown their hands.
Wow. How did we let things get this far?
The elites and rinos are tying to kill the conservative movement and open up the coffers.
I need a level headed freeper to tell me we will survive this.
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
The latest one is -- President Bush is going to feel bad that we don't trust him. So we'd better just support whatever he says.
Im gonna go watch Waltons re-runs and dream....
Who is the next real conservative giant????
We will survive!
Rinos will lose. I have faith in the House conservatives.
Good point. Well said.
uh. no. I'll riot first.
This is all a matter of "reality wins". If half of what Limbaugh says about the Senate bill is true, (and why would he make it up?), then... Houston, we have a problem. This is really bad, Republican Party ripping apart bad. I don't want to jump to conclusions. I don't want to jump to anything. But no party is worth the kind of roulette the Senate RINO's, Democrats, and Bush's people seem to be playing here with the destiny of our republic and country. I say that giving the power back to the Democrats wiould be tantamount to national suicide. This might not be far from that also. Sometimes, there is a line that must not be crossed. We may be looking at it. Just what are we going to do?
As did I, and many others.
Well this make 3 threads on this tonight. I guess it is worth it.
I have made it clear for a few years now, that listening to Rush was a thing I did rarely. I just usually browse the talk shows, and am I glad I did. I actually found out that he is back in form, and the reason is that he feels betrayed. Did you listen to his interview with Tony Snow? He actually got his opinion across twice, without bending to the party line after Tony gave it to him. It was a moment that made me change my mind about him. I say, Thanks Rush, and welcome back. Even the new parody of the immigration deal is a real doozer.
One thing about Rush, he understands the concept of sticking to his principles. One must do so to be a conservative. This is why the moral relativistic liberal-leftists consider us rigid ideologues. They cannot understand that to belive in something is the same as sticking by it. Limbaugh is a conservative first, then a Republican. Almost everytime I find myself disagreeing with Limbaugh, it is on a matter of detail or fact, which might hinge the issue, but not regarding his adherence to his stated principles. No doubt someone could find an example of where this is not the case, but the exception doesn't prove the rule here. Limbaugh has something here, and it is going to matter.
