Rush responds to Huck peace offering

The Political ^

Giuliani  = Liberal

Has our Party gone the way of the dinosaurs?
Have we lost our values?

If we elect a man who supports gay rights and is pro-choice, we can no longer call ourselves conservative.  Have we sunk so low that we would elect a person who dresses in drag?  Marches in gay pride parades?   Giuliani is a liberal running as a conservative.  He's pro-amnesty, pro-gun control, and pro-gay.  He is intelligent and has governed New York City successfully, BUT he is not a true conservative by any measure.  Conservatives wake up?
God help us if we elect a liberal.

Democratic Governor Endorses Mike Huckabee

Instead we have conservatives lining up behind Mike Huckabee because he agrees with them on two issues - gay marriage and abortion - neither of which the president can do much about. And all the while they ignore his liberal history as governor of Arkansas. If Huckabee is a real conservative, explain this: Since he's running in the Republican primaries for president, don't expect Mike Huckabee to be advertising the strong endorsement he just got from Ted Strickland, Ohio's Democratic governor.

It seems Mr. Strickland, who typically racked up a 95% rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action during his 16 years in Congress, has discovered a kindred spirit in Mr. Huckabee. He told the Cincinnati Enquirer last Sunday that Mr. Huckabee is a "combination of conservative views in some ways, but very, almost liberal views in other ways." Mr. Strickland concluded: "Of all the Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee would be my personal choice."

NOW,,, THERE SHOULD BE NOT DOUBT IN YOUR MIND....HUCKABEE IS LOVED BY DEMOCRATS.

God save us if he is actually nominated by the Republican party, or should I say "former" Republican party ..if that actually occurs. 

YOUR CHOICE                           This                         OR                                   This. 

                                                        

NEITHER IS A PRETTY PICTURE

[Eric Blair 2084]

Exactly. If Hillary or Karl Marx was a pro-life evangelical would anybody here support her.

[Agent Smith]

I was a bit suprised to hear Rush say that he has never met or talked to Mike Huckabee. Perhaps Rush should spend a little less time in Palm Beach and a little more in fly over country.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Do you think that the rugged individualist libertarians in Wyoming or Montana flyover country will go for Hucks’ brand of collectivism and Socialism?

[Maynerd]

It looks like Huckabee just might have a little bit of a Christ complex.

I'd say more like the anti-christ of conservatism.

Well .. right here on FR there is a thread stating that Fred is tied for 3rd place in Iowa; ahead of McCain.

The media is not paying attention to Fred - but that doesn’t bother Fred. It’s just that we don’t hear much about him so we think nothing’s happening.

Remember too .. Fred doesn’t have to WIN Iowa in order to WIN the nomination. Let’s not fold before the race has really begun.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. that’s all fine and good .. but I was commenting on your screen name - it uses the word “will” - and I was trying to point out that it should have been past tense - not present tense. Jesus HAS (it’s already a done deal) not WILL (a future event).

Okay - get my drift now ..??

[Yaelle]

Rush spends a LOT of time in Flyover Country, and was born and raised there. He only lives in FL for the weather and the taxes.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I am just an entertainer, not an independent thinker Dang, he must have gotten ahold of a weak batch of oxycontin! He's actually slipping into reality there...

Not sure where you are headed with your comment, but here is Rush's full quote. "Whoever said those things was essentially repeating the Democrat mantra of all these years: that I am just an entertainer, not an independent thinker..."

One could take your comment to be like those created by Media Matters.

[commonguymd]

Fred is coming on strong in Iowa. He is dominating the local news in print, radio, and tv. He is bypssing the NY scene and going straight to the locals.

Up to 16 and solidly in third on SV polling in Iowa early last week.

He might just win Iowa if Huckabee falters despite the MSM.

[Edit35]

There’s something un-nerving about the thought of a US President with a lazy eye (like Huckabee).

Am I being petty?? Juvenile?? yes, for certain.

But that’s my gut reaction when ever I see close up of Mike Huckabee’s face.

The image of a US President should project power and strength, and somehow Mike Huckabee just doesn’t do it for me.

[CyberAnt]

“... going straight to the locals.”

The media joked about his “bus” tour of Iowa. But when he ran for office in Tennessee - he drove around in his truck. His “handlers” told him it would never work .. but he won .. because he took it to the people.

He has not been looking for the cameras .. he’s been looking for the people - and giving them straight talk.

I saw a report on FOX where they followed him into a gun shop (where a group of gun owners had gathered) - and there stood Fred - with his back to the camera - discussing weapons with the shop owner - like the media wasn’t even there. This is amazing.

And .. on FOX today, Tammy Bruce said she loved Fred’s Christmas ad because it never showed Fred - but it was a tribute to our troops. I’ve seen the ad - it’s great! It just has his name at the end. It’s on his website if you haven’t seen it.

[humblegunner]

Not sure where you are headed with your comment

Not everyone worships at the Rush alter.

[djreece]

Sorry, but the “identity voter” idea doesn’t hold a lot of water. For example, why is Rush the most popular conservative talk-show host on radio even though there are others who are as intelligent and as insightful, some arguably even more so?
Because Rush is a better communicator than the others.

[djreece]

Since you seem to be a big believer in guilt by association, in the spirit of the holidays, I'd like to make sure you know what kind of paranoid (and mostly leftist) whackos you are associating with by seeing the spectre of "Christian Reconstructionism" everywhere you look.

From: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles6/DouthatTheocracy.php

Sadly, Rudin's book is thin on examples of significant political actors who are proposing taking any of these steps, let alone all of them. What he has instead are the Christian Reconstructionists--the acolytes of the late R.J. Rushdoony--who are genuine theocrats, of a sort, and who also rank somewhere between the Free Mumia movement and the Spartacist Youth League on the totem pole of political influence in America. Yet this doesn't prevent them from figuring prominently in nearly all the anti-theocrat anthropologies, playing the same role that international communism played for right-wing paranoiacs in the 1950s: the puppet master working from the shadows and the hidden hand behind every secular setback.

Like a diehard John Bircher poring over Dwight D. Eisenhower's speeches in search of the Supreme Soviet's marching orders, Rudin scans the utterances of evangelicals and their allies for Reconstructionist language. Did Billy Graham once advise evangelicals to run for public office and take "control" of the various branches for government? Then he must believe, with the Reconstructionists, that "all adversaries must be completely eliminated from positions of authority" and that "to achieve a divine end by any means--including cruelty, deception, and brute force--is justified." Did Antonin Scalia suggest that government "derives its moral authority from God"? Well, he doubtless intended to issue "a legal green light" to theocrats seeking "to destroy all existing political systems . . . and replace them with their own religion-soaked political regimes."

Perhaps most religious conservatives, Rudin generously allows, "are unaware of the potent ideology that calls for the dismantling of American democracy . . . and its replacement by an authoritarian Christian commonwealth." But then, of course, most Eisenhower voters were unaware, in the 1950s, that Ike's administration was infiltrated and controlled by Communist agents--and more fool they.

Similarly, Kevin Phillips announces that "for all practical purposes, Pat Robertson is a Christian Reconstructionist"--not because Robertson has ever identified himself as such but because his start-up university bears the sinister sobriquet Regent, an obvious reference to the Rushdoonian notion of Christians as God's viceroys on Earth. Phillips doesn't precisely accuse President Bush of being a Reconstructionist, but he notes that Bush's GOP gets an awful lot of votes from the Mormons--who have created "a de-facto establishment of religion in the inner mountain West"--and that the Bush family "has been close" to the Reverend Sun Myung Moon and his cultish Unification Church. And then there's Bush's habit of encoding "private scriptural invocations" into his speeches. Not only did the president use the biblically loaded phrases "hills to climb" and "seeing the valley below" in his 2004 convention acceptance speech, but he also mentioned the "resurrection of New York City." The resurrection. Clearly something sinister is afoot.

Also, would you be so kind as to point out when and where Huckabee instituted the stoning of adulterers and other aspects of Mosaic law in Arkansas?

(For your sake, I really hope you are able to relax and enjoy your Christmas.)

Who is Rush supporting?

He says he doesn't endorse anyone during the primaries, but he has said that Thompson is the only conservative in the top tier. That's pretty darn close to an endorsement.

[CottonBall]

Remember too .. Fred doesn’t have to WIN Iowa in order to WIN the nomination. Let’s not fold before the race has really begun.

Four years ago at this time, Dean was way ahead in the polls and Clark and Kerry were just about tied. Things can change...

[CyberAnt]

Exactly!!

Interesting link.

Although the author missed the stories about Tancredo endorsing Romney. But I don’t consider that a bigt deal - how many of us blindly follow our candidate’s endorsement when they withdraw? I was a Tancredo supporter, but am really hoping Fred surges ahead. All will be lost with conservatism if a RINO wins the nomination.
