“Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country,” Rush Limbaugh said Thursday. “To be watching all of this, to have my intelligence – all of us – to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it’s being, is — it just makes me ashamed.”
The conservative radio host’s ire was the result of the sequester, the looming federal spending cuts set to automatically go into effect at the end of this month unless Congress and the White House can reach a deal. He called it “deja vu all over again” and ripped President Barack Obama for keeping himself above the fray and painting himself as a Washington outsider “even though it was his idea.”
“Here we get worked up over $44 billion – that’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year,” Limbaugh said. “And in truth we’re going to spend more this year than we spent last year. We’re just not going to spend as much as projected. It’s all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn’t. And yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here. Fear there. Crisis. Destruction. No meat inspection. No cops. No teachers. No firefighters. No air traffic control."
“I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all of this are over. We have the media play along with all of this, the ruling class – both parties – play along with all of this,” he continued. “It’s insulting. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
Rush and the rest of the conservative talk show hosts need to go after the Republicans in congress. We already know what the dems are like but to call John Boehner a “nice guy” while he continues to go along with the destruction of America as we once knew it is criminal. Major pressure must be put on the Republican Party to straighten up. Rush and others need to start promoting 3rd Party, ie. Constitution Party. Otherwise they are backing a self serving party that doesn’t give a crap about it core conservative constituents.
It’s tough when decades of good-natured work being “America’s Anchorman” is all for naught. The leviathan rolls over all things good...large and small, young and old, strong and weak. Evil. There is much of it...foreign and domestic. Be prepared.
Thanks, Rush.
Bingo!!
He may feel that way. Any of us might in his position. But the fact remains he and any other person who fights the "Leviathan" does have a beneficial effect. The left has been scrutinized in our generation in a way it never was during its conquests of the 20th Century. Many of those folks never saw the evil lurching toward them. We are priviledged to have had so long to see this coming. It has materially changed the equation for the left. It has rendered their "victory" far more shallow and transitory than it might have been. If God's grace is with us, we will emerge from this winter. Keep on believing ...
Amen, Springfield Reformer. Amen.
“In 2008 (by my reckoning) the MSM transitioned from “heavy liberal bias” to “full member of the Baraqqi regime”.”
This is why I am reveling in this story out of NYC where the local CBS news anchor choked his wife, who is also a local CBS newsperson. I am sorry for their children, but I am assuming that they are both Obamabots, and not enough bad things can happen to those people. They are our enemy!
Thanks Mozilla.
