Breitbart.com ^ | September 3, 2015 | Jeff Poor

On his Thursday radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh hit back at those criticizing GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump for challenging his opponent, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL), for not speaking English to a press gaggle earlier this week.

Trump is a cartoonish buffoon liberal

He has nothing in common with the TEA Party

Many of us find it funny that despite your continual prattling that those you pretend to be defending don’t even agree with you!

I am supporting Trump and Cruz...I think with Trump’s business mind and Cruz’s politicial experience, they will make a great team to rid some of the corruption in our government...

I don’t like any of the other candidates, they are the same old, same old we get every election and personally I’m tired of it...

Trump/Cruz will make America Great Again....

Trump was extremely sharp, focused, and likeable at his press conference today. He is improving, and he has not been a slouch thus far.

I like that as the best outcome myself, though Trump has said he would go for two terms.
I thought he would do one and have Cruz do the next two.

Exactly what I was thinking also. That really makes good sense.

Agree, just look for his posts if you want a contrarian view...

Remind him the one Ronald Reagan was also a Democrat and switched later...

Rush has been spot on the last two days vis a vis Trump being ‘American’ rather than a pure conservative...or a pure liberal for that matter. I know that Trump isn’t what I would call a movement conservative. I don’t care though, because I believe that Trump is a real American who loves America and wants what’s best for America. Not what’s best for his backers and bankers. As long as Trump’s actions continue to support that ideal, I’m with him.

Looking multi-years ahead, in the way that you are, that is making assumptions all dependent upon a series of complicated victories, is a major mistake.

The Left under Obama, has been coasting on mistakes made during the Clinton & Bush II Administrations. Let us--for the sake of argument--assume that things go in our favor over the next 14 months. We will still be in desperate plight so far as preserving the heritage of America. It will still require very, very critical decisions, and the will to stick to them, on the part of any Administration, with the Left pulling out all stops to frustrate our efforts. We are not going to find anything easy.

It would be wonderful to find out that it is otherwise; but we have a deep hole to crawl out of. God willing, we will find the mettle among those loyal to the American heritage to eventually prevail. But counting a succession of unhatched chickens is not the way to prepare.

Trump was for nationalised healthcare a month ago

He said the Garland terror attack was Pamela Gellers’ fault, this year

He supports Kelo and ENDA

He is proud to have made crooked backroom deals with politicians

Bill Clinton is still his favorite President

I hope there is no war, we know how he feels about troops that get capture

etc etc

Nice use of "half truths," and carefully embroidered facts.

Why if you support Cruz--who is unquestionably a fine man--do you feel the need to misrepresent the facts about the candidate closest to Cruz in the present contest?

Not one of your items correctly describes Trump's stands at this point of time. Each requires at least some careful selection & paraphrase of what was actually said, leaving out the context.

Too little, too late. Limbaugh really has no idea how entrenched Consequentialism Ethics, Legal Positivism, and their progeny, the jurisprudencial schools of Legal Realism and Critical Legal Studies are. This was a two century decline, and it didn’t start with the 60’s or the Clintons— they were just the inevitable result. The Founding Fathers started a new kind of nation with a God-oriented Natural Law legal philosophy, something the Common Law embodied and our foundational documents embraced. Then came Social Darwinist Oliver Wendell Holmes who more than any other American figure influenced successive generations of justices, thinkers, educators, philosophers, law professors, politicians, and society in general away from the notions of a Divine Being and absolute moral truths and turned the US into a relativist culture. That cancer has thoroughly metastacized. Persuasion and angry words won;t change it back. And all of Limbaugh’s railing against “them liiiiberals” isn’t addressing the real issues. He doesn’t recognize what America has lost—his personal life shows that. It’s useless rhetoric at this point.

The right is so fractured now. Some very ill will has set in within the ranks, and I'm not sure how cohesive we will be at the end of all this.

Today I did something I NEVER do -- turned Rush's program off. I have all my friends trained not to call me between 11 and 2 because that time is always set aside for Rush. It's been a high priority in my life since '92 -- or it was until Trumpmania. Now when I come out against Trump, I'm a member of the GOPe and, by extension according to you, an idiot. Neither could be further from the truth.

I'm quite conservative, I am LIVID at the Establishment and have vowed never to support another squishy candidate they manipulate over the finish line to become our "conservative" nominee. I identify strongly with the Tea Party and am confused by the fusion of some Tea Partiers and with Trumpsters.

Rush has pigeon-holed those of us who don't appreciate Trump's antics, rudeness, braggadocio and sophomoric behavior as Establishment, as have most of the rabid Trumpsters here on FR. Why, there couldn't possibly be another answer except that we're part of the Establishment!

I admit that I'm not accustomed to having to defend my conservative creds. It's very interesting that, all over FR when it's pointed out by someone that Trump isn't a conservative, several Trumpsters reply, "I know." What the...?

I'm so scared that FR is no longer going to be the "Premier Conservative Site on the Net" since so many are willing to be taken in by a billionaire reality show star who exhibits traits of arrested development (or 12-year-old behavior, take your pick), simply because he tells you what you want to hear. Do you REALLY believe he's married to conservative principles, or do you think perhaps he's the wolf on the prowl knowing full well he can take advantage of the vulnerable woman (the conservative element within the Republican Party) who's been burned too many times (by the GOPe) just by telling her the words he knows she wants to hear? Put your clothes back on, all you true conservatives! He will use you and abuse you, and he will NOT respect you in the morning.

I agree with a lot of the things u said.

Lessay you have two choices:

1.) A guy with a very sharp conceptual and oratorical grasp of all things Conservative. He can verbalize it, he’s a consummate DC insider. He’s elected, goes to DC and to a ton of cocktail parties. He’s widely tolerated by the DC machine and he implements 1% of his (and your) ideas.

2.) A guy with a big mouth, insane mouth and shaky credentials. Meanwhile he’s freakishly gifted in the implementation department. He goes to DC, remains widely reviled by all there, and ends up implementing 50% of the latest batch of things he professed and in which you believe.

Now if you had a VERY long history of being betrayed by candidates of the type #1 persuasion, who might you vote for THIS time around?

I ask because I have arrived at that point, the point where I regard choice #2 as comparatively safe.

People are fond these days of saying, “Insanity is where you keep doing the same thing, each time expecting a different result”.

You know to me when McCain says he’s a maverick outsider who will lower tax and fight regulation it’s just UTTERLY MEANINGLESS to me.

I think that of 95% of GOP professional politicians.

I won't judge his personal life. If he has become a believer or renewed his faith in the Lord, all things are new. But I do agree that he doesn't understand the whole picture at this point. I very much hoped that David's newfound passion to knowing God through His Word would have an effect on Rush, and perhaps it is. Spiritual growth takes longer for some than for others. Right now, I'm unhappy with Rush as you can see by my previous post.
