By the way....I have nearly totally stopped listening to Rush and the others. It was his complete failure in 2008 to cover Obama’s eligibility. Now in 2012, he is doing the same. I find it very irritating. So much so, that I just don't listen any more.
It isn't just Rush. It is nearly all of talk radio. Some topics are just off the table. For example the homosexual activist bullying. Rush and the others may take a pot shot or two at the government's socialist schools but never call for their complete shut down or urge listeners to remove their kids immediately.
I get my news from Free Republic.
He has talked about obama eligibility. It would be ridiculous to talk only of that one subject when so many things are going on every day.
din’t bother listening to him or others except those like Levin.
When the likes of Hannity gets the balls to mention conservative social issues and esecially how the homo agenda and the homostapo are acting and doing then Ill tune back in but until then I won’t hold my breath.
Hannity the biggest joke and fraud on the FOX channel
I love Rush, always have, but I quit listening to him several years ago when he would tease a segment or political topic, then MrR and I would discuss it over commercial then Rush would come on and say the same thing sometimes verbatim. It got to where we were joking that he had our house bugged.
We call it “Reganaut Echo Syndrome” and I’m sure a lot of other FReepers experienced the same thing.
I agree with you...Rush backs RINOs...I’ll get my news here.
It's show prep, but it's become clear during some broadcasts that he, or other members of his staff, peruse FR (at least the news items in the sidebar) during the show. Things that are here can make the day's broadcast with 10 minutes sometimes.
Ditto.
Yes, and Rush gets his new from the same places as FR. In case you haven’t noticed FR draws news from many different sources. FR doesn’t originate the news but rather regurgitates the news just as all the talking heads do. He and others go the same places freepers do. I seriously doubt Rush comes to FR to see what news freepers linked to just to get ideas for his show. He has been around alot longer than FR.
This forum is, in a sense, a plagaristic entity. Nothing original other than the individual freepers thoughts on any given subject. The news is not generated in this forum, but rather it is commented on. A little too rigidly here lately if you ask me. Alot of one issue individuals and not many big picture thinkers.
FR serves a purpose, but it’s no greater a purpose than any other political forum. Jim does great work no doubt, but some here seem to think that FR is a major influence in political discourse. With all the RINO’s that continue to remain in power, the influence espoused is a little over rated by the rigid thoughts espoused by many on this forum
Speaking my mind will probably get me removed from FR, but it is to be expected when one doesn’t conform to the thoughts of the many. For all the tolerance that is expected of people on this forum, many here are no better than the intolerant left. See in a tolerant society, people of all opinions would be welcome here for healthy debate. Heck, some conversions might even take place. However, when the threat of a Zot, or even so far as contacting a moderator to tattle on another takes place, well, there is not much tolerance for the thoughts and opinions of others. Yes, this is a conservative site, and Jim can allow whom he chooses to join, but when everyone thinks the same and opines the same, the intellectual intergity and stimulation goes out the window.
I am sorry to say I have come to a point where I do not find FR what it once was for me. For me, its not a place where I can find conservative discourse that allows for a good debate. If one doesn’t agree, one is not welcome. The threats of going to daddy and telling on someone for an eggregious lapse in conservative judgement is no place anyone should want to be a part of. Reagan was a big tent conservative, those freepers that say they are conservative do not convey the conservatism of Reagan. I makes me sick to my stomach when I see people raked over coals for supporting a candidate who may have one view contrary to conservative ideals.
I haven’t been a prolific poster or commentor, and very few of you would even recognize my screen name. I will be accused of being a troll, a closet dem, etc..... I have never cast a ballot for a dem. I served my country for 7 years in the United States Marine Corps. I have a copy of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence framed on my walls. I go to Church every week, my kids understand what it means to love God above all things. I pray daily and I work my tail off for my family.
I am not sure what prompted this little diatribe, but it is what it is. I will leave your with my tag line, which is every bit indicative of the reasons for the decaying of my America:
“For socialism is not merely the labour question, it is before all things an atheistic question” Dostoevsky
Quinn of Quinn and Rose show is very informative. And is no lover of progressives, liberals and ESP. Obama. I get the show here on the west coast 3am on Sirius/xm. They broadcast out of Pittsburgh.
