About Rush...

[glfredrick]

None of them, regardless of political philosophy should use such language.

The primary reason IMHO that his has been blow up so large is that Rush claims to be a spokesman for the GOP. I do not believe any of the ones you mentioned have climed to be the spokesman for the Democrats. And I am pretty sure none of those have claimed as Rush has that they are "Talent on loan from God".

But as far as I am concerned all who use such langauge should be barred from both radio and TV.

Rush DOES NOT claim to be a spokesman for the GOP. He takes them to task as often as he takes liberals and Democrats to task. Rush is a spokesman for CONSERVATIVE views in America. He makes that point clear on his show on almost a daily basis.

The "talent on loan from God" thing is not as bad as you make it seem. Do we not ALL have our gifts and talents "on loan from God?" That Rush uses that phrase tongue-in-cheek -- which you would know if you ever actually listened to him -- is merely a rhetorical devise to interject humor into his show and it says nothing other than what most people who understand God's gifts would hold. Seems a FAR CRY better than the way virtually ALL the Left treat God or God's people. Want more graphic examples?

Rush is a gatekeeper. His job is to keep people from abandoning the false left vs right paradigm. Period.

On this board it is definitely a lonely spot to be outside the Democrat-Republican axis. Thats fine by me, as I have plenty of family, church members, and friends to love and like me in various ways. Regardless of that, I mean every word about Rush Limbaugh. He is nothing but pure trash. One might as well rent an x rated movie. The same goes for all of the left wing spokesmen everyone keeps comparing Rush to. You all are the ones that lowered your standards to accept the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Mitt Romney, and you are the ones that are going to live with Obama for the next four years. The term is self fulfilling prophecy. For all on this board that have advanced degrees, common sense is certainly in short supply.

My standards are not the greatest, but they are above the animal instinct level. And one thing everyone said that is right, you will answer for the flippant use of the term "talent on loan from God." That fat, arrogant slob would be the last person the Lord would loan talent to.

Thanks for being an at least sort of on my side. I joined the Constitution Party two years ago, and work in it locally.

False left vs right paradigm? What rock did you just crawl out from under?

I can even anticipate your answer... Both sides are the same, when we elect a "righty" we get the same results as when we elect a "lefty."

To that, I can only say, HOGWASH (as in the prodigal son eating the food tossed to hogs and as in don't cast your pearls before swine)...

There is a light-year of difference between the two sides, but we've not actually elected a "righty" since Reagan, and before him one has to go back a long way to find the next.

Wonder what would happen if we elected a Scott Walker to the White House. Walker is currently under recall as governor of the state of Wisconsin because he dismantled the public sector unions right to bargain and he caused public employees to have to actually pay in to their own benefit package -- just like the rest of us. Oh, and he balanced the budget, though just one year ago he inherited a $3 BILLION debt. Further, he overhauled the communist state Department of Natural Resources and placed a chief into office who actually supports private land ownership, hunting and shooting sports, allows trails to be opened for the public, etc. All the "lefties" ran away to Illinois while those bills were being debated in the state house and senate. Imagine that...

All of your posts pound the left, yet, your words and actions further their cause. Lowering standards that encompass people like Limbaugh and Romney make the conservative cause, those for the Constitution, and those who want a balanced budget a laughing stock. True conservatives stay home, moderates and independents are driven to the Democrats, and your type becomes the enabler of Obama's reelection. You need to study the election of 1980, when Ronald Reagan kept a consistant message, stayed the course, ignored the polls, and trounced then President Carter. Look at the elections since 1992. The elections the Republicans have won have been by the narrowest of margins.

Those words right there show you do not have a clue about politics, history, or government. A vast difference???????????? Both Obama and Romney are anti-Constitution, both pro abortion, both pro gay rights, both pro gun control etc, etc, etc, Obama and Bush both spent hunderds of billions of dollars bailing out companies on the free market. Both created record deficits. etc, etc, etc, Would you please explain the vast difference between the two parties?

The one you're still under evidently.

Uh, nope that wasn't going to be my answer.

Whatever that means.

No, actually both sides share the same enthusiasm for total control and the consolidation of power into a few hands. They just differ on how to go about it. Doesn't matter if we have a leftie or rightie in office the control gets tighter and the power gets consolidated a bit more. A good ole fashion study of our founders words might help you uderstand how power is consolidated. They understood it and formed a republic to safeguard against it. But they left the republic's care and feeding in our hands and we dropped the ball. Partly because of petty party politics (your favorite or so it seems) and partly because we've always believed "it can't happen here". Well, it can and it is happening here. I wish you'd peek out from under that rock long enough to see it.

Both siides hate the idea of having a check on their power and as a result we've seen a steady erosion of our liberties and prosperity and a rising militarized police state to keep the "peace" when people finally figure out what's really been going on. And people are figuring it out. Not you yet apparently but there's still hope for ya. :smilewinkgrin:

Here's a hint. The government of the United States is subservient to the global bankers and corporitos. They own and control all the horses in the race so you are "free" to vote for whomever you like but the game is rigged. We can only have a globalist government. Rightie vs leftie is just a puppet show put on for your amusment the result is preordained.

We'll always end up with a globalist government as long as we play their game their way.

Thanks for making my point so well... :thumbs:

Don't suppose you've ever read the Federalist papers or understand the difference between Locke and Hobbes?

I've read em.

 

[saturneptune]

You've read the Federalist papers? Did you skip the part about the consolidation of power and the evils of party politics?

Obviously he did not. He got his information from Rush Limbaugh. It is funny though about the temporary nature of political parties, which are not in the Constitution. As the Republicans replaced the Whigs, any new party could replace the Republicans or Democrats for that matter at the snap of a finger.

 

[saturneptune]

Let's just say that I can post every word Rush has ever used on his program in this thread. The two that created the most recent flap are "slut" and "prostitute." Wow... pretty darn vile...

I cannot even begin to do that for some of the liberal talking heads.

Time to spell some things out for some of the dense ones out there. Prepare to be offended. This is what was actually said:

Bill Maher, about Sarah Palin: “cunt” (“there’s just no other word for her”)
Dana Loesch, about Tea Party persons: “Teabagger" (a teabagger is a male who drapes his naked testicals over the face of another individual)
Bill Maher, about Tim Tebow's loss to Buffalo: "Wow, Jesus just fucked #TimTebow bad!"
Ed Shultz, about Laura Ingram: "slut"
Bill Maher, about Sarah Palin: "Oh speaking of dumb twats....”
Bill Maher, about Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman, "bimbos"

I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on... But for time sake, I'll leave it at that...

I am beginning to believe the only Shultz you could relate to is the one on Hogan's Heros that said "I know nothing."

Yes but would they be any better? The republican party was co opted by the neocons same as the "tea party". Any party can be co opted we should have learned that lesson from Bush and Rumsfeld. I actually supported Bush Jr. till I found out he was in tight with the "crazies". (that's what the neocons were called before they co opted the republican party) Bush Jr. ran on a conservative non interventionist policy and won. That's what conservatism was about back then. Now it's about expanding government and making us all criminals in order to keep us safe.

Now both parties have been co opted by the globalists. I see no point in supporting either. It's counter productive and dangerous to the republic or what little might be left of it imho.

I am ALL for that... What you guys fail to realize in your haste to condemn another person is that I am actually more conservative than even Rush. That is precisely why I am making the points I am making -- there IS a difference and it is not found in party platform planks, nor in policy decisions -- all of which may be adopted for experdiency sake or forced upon a politician in the give and take of Washington or a State house.

At stake IS Locke or Hobbes... Decide whom is on which side and vote accordingly. Only one for Locke's position right now is Santorum. Not Paul, not Gingrich, not Romney, and certainly not Obama. Wish we had a better leader with the same worldview as Santorum, but in this election he is the only choice.

I would back the starting of a new party in a heartbeat, with one exception. It will give Obama another 4 (well, lifetime) term. CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

I guess some people can post anything even the "F" word when it is applied to Jesus!

I bet if CTB posted it, Curtis and others would demand him being banned.

I guess it's either different rules for different people, or like you say the mods haven't seen it yet.

Shocking that a pastor would post it.

Replace Obama with someone else but the same destructive policies will still go forward. Why? Because our government like the republican party and the tea party has been co opted.

It matters not one iota who sits in that WH because the power that steers this country does not reside there. It resides in the boardrooms and backrooms of global banks and corporations.

The naked truth is, to quote Queen Amidala "the republic no longer functions".

Our republican form of government is now under the control of international corporatists. Global fascists for short. No amount of voting is going to change that. Putting a fresh face on old tyranny might make us feel better in the short term but in the long term it'll change nothing, for the better anyway.

We're to far gone to keep worrying about what evil the liberals are up to or even (if you're a liberal) what evils the conservatives are to up to. If we go belly up as a nation which is entirely possible and some even say probable none of this leftie vs rightie stuff will matter.

The system is about to collapse and all the globalist's men and all the globalist's horses aren't going to be able to put it back together again. Our first priority the way I see it is to save the republic. Then we may have more time to worry about being conservatives or liberals instead of how we're going to feed our kids while avoiding indefinite detention without charges or worse.

and how long do you contend this has been happening? (Referring to the highlighted section)
