I LOVE Rush Limbaugh!

Limbaugh: "He inherited the responsibility to continue the philosophy and the tradition of a country founded on Judeo-Christian morals, ethics, and principles."

Obama doesn't believe they are exceptional. He doesn't believe in Christian exceptionalism or that there is anything exceptional about Western Christian civilization. He has denied this both in his Cairo and Notre Dame speeches. He thinks that socialism, modern liberalism, moral relativism, multiculturalism, and a kind of anti-Western, anti-colonialist United Nations ideology which always requires criticizing America and apologizing are the way to go. He does not identify with the U.S., Christianity, or Western civilization culturally, nor, apparently, does he consider them worth defending and promoting.

Obama is like the infamous Rich Kotite. The worst NFL coach of all time. Always made a bad situation worse. Anything he touched bombed. Everything he planned failed. But always blamed everybody else.

The way I see it, the Presidency is not inherited. It is sought after. Obama worked very hard for over two years to become President. He even pushed aside his responsibilities as Senator to pursue this goal. Just because everything wasn't just the way he wanted it when he started, doesn't mean he gets to push it to the previous administration by claiming he inherited the problems. His campaign promised to tackle each and every one of these issues. It wasn't so long ago he said “I won” to shut up the opposition on an issue he wanted his way on. Now he claims that the problems he promised to fix are an inheritance. Make up your mind Obama! Did you win the Presidency, or did you inherit it?

Like a jinx.

You never know what he will mess up or destroy next.

Rush is always highlighting the positive and talking up the greatness of our nation while the second hussein is constantly talking down and denigrating the same.

[Ben Ficklin]

On one hand there are those who say that US exceptionalism is based on Puritanism traced back to the Sermon on the Mount.

OTOH, there are others who say otherwise. One such would be those market economists who say ownership is the basis.

[a fool in paradise]

He made it clear that he sees the Constitution as an obstacle to ushering in the change he wants. He and his wife have said that this nation’s history and traditions must change.

They’ve made no bones about being down on America.

He is an apologist when he is abroad and a critic of conservativism when he is at home.

This is not news. The lap dog media has been down on America since 1968 too. Again, this is not news.

Welcome to America 2.0.

Outstanding. I’m sick and tired of the excuses Obama makes. Rush nails it.

Obama doubts BOTH American and Christian exceptionalism. He takes it much wider in his criticism of our civilization. But the American Framers and Founders did understand themselves to be part of a Judaeo-Christian moral and spiritual tradition which places freedom from statism in God-given rights and a tradition of morality and ethical principles. Pat Boone touched on this in his article about Obama's gaffes yesterday, on whether the U.S. is a Christian nation:

Pat Boone: "You studied law at Harvard, didn’t you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago? Did you never read the statement of John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark Federalist Papers, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers — and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation — to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”?

In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: “Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian.” - Obama Sounds Like President Without a Country.

Take that away and they start down the path to tyranny, relativism, or jihad. Quite possibly all three with the One's policies.

[Ben Ficklin]

Thanks but no thanks. I'm not big on Pat Boone and Newsmax.

OTOH, I do have a keen interest in this subject of what Obama inherited from Bush and what policies he chose to inherit from Bush.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

?

Rush's point stands.Limbaugh: "He inherited the responsibility to continue the philosophy and the tradition of a country founded on Judeo-Christian morals, ethics, and principles." The One can strip that away at our peril and that of civilization.

[Ben Ficklin]

I can read and I can interpret, and I can say that this from Rush is just more from those who are trying to say that those policies that Obama chose to inherit from Bush are just that, Bush Policies.

So the conflict on these policies are conflicts in the GOP. Rush, Cheney, and others certainly want to make these policies a conflict between republicans and Obama/democrats, but they are not.

“In a way Obama is standing above the country, above the world. He’s sort of GOD. He’s going to bring all different sides together.”
- Newsweek editor Evan Thomas

See, the job of POTUS is too little for this community organizer. The US is only one cog in the wheel of the power he seeks.

I knew he’d be bad...that electing this guy with a rat majority in Congress was going to be a rough road but had NO idea that it would be so incredibly horrible and he’s just getting started.

I pray the Supreme Court sticks to the law and stops his Chrysler fiasco.
