POL What's Up With Limbaugh?

[hazman]

It is very simple:

In my opinion
HE IS A NUT !

He made more sense years ago when he was taking illegal drugs.

Absolutely! I agree.

(Except that he was illegally taking, legal drugs...minor point)

 

[NC Susan]

The Republicans ARE the party of Ronald Reagan and Goldwater

Limbaugh, Gingrich, and Glenn Beck are leading the Constitutionalist, Conservative Christian Pro Life movement.

Colin Powell is Hot Air and a Political Wind Sock.

 

[Satanta]

I have no idea!!

I stopped listening to Rush Windbag just about the time he got off on those drug charges!!!

In fact, it would not surprise me one bit to find out he was back on the junk!!!!

Once an addict...

Does that go for the Supreme Ruler of the Planet of the Apes CIC as well or only Rush?

 

[blueridge]

What "below the belt" attack on Powell?

'Zactly - who can possibly claim to be a Repub. while endorsing the most inane and leftist choice for POTUS???

Not even a RINO.

 

[Anchor]

All of this is great for Limbaugh's ratings, which is what it's all about in radio. Every time Democrats and detractors say his name it's more money in his pocket, more or less. This is publicity you can't buy!

 

[Garf]

Do any of you TB2Kers have an explanation or opinion about what's going on with Rush Limbaugh's 'below the belt' attack on Colin Powell?

I understand that the GOP is split. The Limbaugh faction is supported by former VP Dick Cheney, former G. W. Bush political advisor Carl Rove, current GOP chairman Michael Steele (and others). The Powell faction is supported by former Homeland Security Chief Thomas Ridge, former FBI Director Robert Mueller (and others).

Recent polls indicate that Colin Powell's approval rating is greater than those of Limbaugh and Cheney combined. Limbaugh has made socialism appealing to many by associating it with the popular president Obama. Limbaugh, Cheney, Rove et. al. are clearly not stupid. What gives here? Do they want to make gains in the 2010 congressional elections and have a chance at the White House in 2012?

I've looked at a number of recent Limbaugh videos. Could he have early symptoms of Parkinson's disease? I've noticed that he flails around a lot. Does Parkinson's affect the logical systems of the brain? That would be so ironic after his vicious attacks on Michael J Fox....

The last CNN poll rates Powell's popularity among Republicans at 64%, Cheney's at 66%, and Rush's at 62%, with a margin of error at 3%. So they're all basically tied. It's a different story among Democrats, but who cares about that?

All it takes for some people to embrace Marxism is an empty suited Marxist with a teleprompter? These are the voters with strong principles that you want in your party? If that's so, then your party is in worse shape than you think!

I've watched more than "a number" of Rush's rants. I'm a member of his web site and watch the show every day on the "dittocam", and have for a few years. Rush is very animated on his show, and always has been. It's something that doesn't come through on the radio, obviously. It's doubtful that he has Parkinsons, as he's a cigar smoker. If you don't understand that statement, do some research.

 

[Airborne Falcon]

Colin Powell is the liberal's favorite Republican. He has a military background most liberals DO NOT. He spends more time attacking conservatives than liberals.

Geez for you liberal weenies what's not to like, heck why have 2 parties why not just all sign into THE ONE PARTY and we can all vote 100 % on each election.

Snicker snicker...

mr john so-called farmer wonder what you and your friends in the dying media think about an assertion that a flailing Demo like say the speaker of the house or say the VP may have Parkison's.

These questions look more like your spouting from the political class group think than any serious inquiry.

Well stated Squid. Nicely done. Darn tough to type it better than that. Cudos to you Sir.

 

[FarmerJohn]

Finally, a thread to liven up the day. St. Rush has been attacked!

Ha ha, Fred; this is not an attack post. I know that there are plenty of conservatives here on TB2K. Where better to get some of their input on what's going on with the apparent split in the GOP?

That's great if Limbaugh's flailing (my term) is not disease-related but you can understand why that possibility might occur to me and others. After all, Limbaugh's episode with deafness was noticed by folks well before the cause was widely known.

Workerbee, I wouldn't know about 'most' liberals. I myself carry one or more firearms in my truck at all times. Those are mostly appropriate for varmint control. Other firearms are either in the safe or easily accessible. I've advocated on this board and elsewhere that public schools institute firearms courses that (at an absolute minimum) would give sufficient education to middle-school or higher-level students to know proper protocol for picking up, clearing, moving, putting down all common types of firearms. I've identified myself as a liberal to a talk show host re the above proposal and had my liberalism questioned. Considering where it came from, I took that as a compliment.

Mark Armstrong, I think you should check your speakers. There is not supposed to be a "T" in "General". The YouTube caption is: "Rush Limbaugh Not Backing Down: "Genital Powell" Endorsement About Race!" but it can be found easily by googling the term "genital Powell." I'm sorry that that offends you.

NC Susan, you do know, don't you, that Limbaugh, Gingrich, and Glenn Beck have between them eight marriages? Does that help to make them leaders in the Constitutionalist, Conservative Christian Pro Life movement? Unfortunately General Powell has only one; he's not much of an expert on family values, I guess.

Grantbo, could you once, just once please use the term "liberal" without prefacing it with your term "dirty"? All of us here at TB2K will know what you're thinking.... Please; pretty please???

I personally read (and listen to) material from a wide range of sources. I'm partial to WorldNetDaily (and TB2K) for a window into the conservative mind. I occasionally listen to Beck, Limbaugh and Michael "Savage" Weiner. Y'all are welcome to suggest other sources. I'm willing to change (and admit to having changed) my opinion if the facts seem persuasive. I find that much of the time, facts seem to have a liberal slant.

"dirtyliberal" is not a word/adjective? I know that's how I pronounce it as well.

For other material/sources you may want to try reading, rather than simply listening to, for instance:

The Bible
The Forgotten Man (by Amity Shlaes)
American Progressivism (by Ronald J. Pestritto)
Liberal Fascism (by Jonah Goldberg)

... and I honestly thank you for the belly laugh with regards to your "facts seem to have a liberal slant" ending. Good one.

I'm not worried - it will all swing back the other way, the correct way, eventually.

I quit listening to the bag of hot air years ago. He's a stooge for the NeoCon movement. Pretty funny stuff coming from a drug addict. He has nothing over Colin Powell. Like he's not a "racist" ... pleeeze.

 

[Kalliope]

Limbaugh has made socialism appealing to many by associating it with the popular president Obama.

No matter what Rush say's you dirty liberals will continue to slander him. I always find it amusing to read posts from dirty liberals who seem to think that Repubs can beat the Dems if they just become more like them. They know that conservatism works when ever it's been tried (ie Reagan), and so must demonize people like Rush because he is a threat to their power.

You know most people take a bath or shower, so how do you know they are dirty? Project much?

Seriously...

the part about Reagan is an absolute fallicy -

Reagan is, to be sure, one of the most conservative presidents in U.S. history and will certainly be remembered as such. His record on the environment, defense, and economic policy is very much in line with its portrayal. But he entered office as an ideologue who promised a conservative revolution, vowing to slash the size of government, radically scale back entitlements, and deploy the powers of the presidency in pursuit of socially and culturally conservative goals. That he essentially failed in this mission hasn't stopped partisan biographers from pretending otherwise. (Noonan writes of his 1980 campaign pledges: "Done, done, done, done, done, done, and done. Every bit of it.")

A sober review of Reagan's presidency doesn't yield the seamlessly conservative record being peddled today. Federal government expanded on his watch. The conservative desire to outlaw abortion was never seriously pursued. Reagan broke with the hardliners in his administration and compromised with the Soviets on arms control. His assault on entitlements never materialized; instead he saved Social Security in 1983. And he repeatedly ignored the fundamental conservative dogma that taxes should never be raised.

All of this has been airbrushed from the new literature of Reagan. But as any balanced account must make clear, Reagan acceded to political compromises as all presidents do once in office--and on many occasions did so willingly. In fact, however often unintentionally, many of his actions as president wound up facilitating liberal objectives. What this clamor of adulation is seeking to deny is that beyond his conservative legacy, Ronald Reagan has bequeathed a liberal one.

snippage

At the outset of his first term, Reagan's revolution appeared to have unstoppable momentum. His administration passed an historic tax cut based on dramatic cuts in marginal tax rates and began a massive defense buildup. To help compensate for the tax cut, his first budget called for slashing $41.4 billion from 83 federal programs, only the first round in a planned series of cuts. And Reagan himself made known his desire to eliminate the departments of Energy and Education, and to scale back what his first budget director David Stockman called the "closet socialism" of Social Security and Medicaid.

But after his initial victories on tax cuts and defense, the revolution effectively stalled. Deficits started to balloon, the recession soon deepened, his party lost ground in the 1982 midterms, and thereafter Reagan never seriously tried to enact the radical domestic agenda he'd campaigned on. Rather than abolish the departments of Energy and Education, as he had promised to do if elected president, Reagan added a new cabinet-level department--one of the largest federal agencies--the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Which part of Conservatism advocates CREATING a gov't dept?

This hasn't stopped recent contemporary conservative biographers from claiming otherwise. "He said he would cut the budget, and he did," declares Peggy Noonan in When Character Was King. In fact, the budget grew significantly under Reagan. All he managed to do was moderately slow its rate of growth. What's more, the number of workers on the federal payroll rose by 61,000 under Reagan. (By comparison, under Clinton, the number fell by 373,000.)

snippage

It's conservative lore that Reagan the icon cut taxes, while George H.W. Bush the renegade raised them. As Stockman recalls, "No one was authorized to talk about tax increases on Ronald Reagan's watch, no matter what kind of tax, no matter how justified it was." Yet raising taxes is exactly what Reagan did. He did not always instigate those hikes or agree to them willingly--but he signed off on them. One year after his massive tax cut, Reagan agreed to a tax increase to reduce the deficit that restored fully one-third of the previous year's reduction. (In a bizarre bit of self-deception, Reagan, who never came to terms with this episode of ideological apostasy, persuaded himself that the three-year, $100 billion tax hike--the largest since World War II--was actually "tax reform" that closed loopholes in his earlier cut and therefore didn't count as raising taxes.)

Faced with looming deficits, Reagan raised taxes again in 1983 with a gasoline tax and once more in 1984, this time by $50 billion over three years, mainly through closing tax loopholes for business. Despite the fact that such increases were anathema to conservatives--and probably cost Reagan's successor, George H.W. Bush, reelection--Reagan raised taxes a grand total of four times just between 1982-84.

This record flummoxes the best efforts of today's Reagan hagiographers to explain away. Peter Wallison, for instance, after proclaiming that Reagan "stayed the course against changes in his economic plan," later dismisses the president's tax increases as "a modest rollback" that "seems to have been the result" of his accepting a Democratic promise to cut spending by twice that amount. (Whatever happened to "Trust, but verify"?)

For whatever purpose, it is like the late 1910's and early 1920's when Wilson (another Republican) took over the entire US country through media, citizen spies, out and out lies and propaganda.

The problem is with all these lies, is that the internet tubes exist. YOU can keep saying that Reagan did this and Reagan did that, but, in the long run, you are just falling for the same propaganda that you accuse Obama votes of listening to. I wish Conservatives would man/woman up, cut the bull, and really have a platform. But, in regurgitating the lies, there is really no platform at all, is there?

Try Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny for some outstanding reading, too. I'm about a third of the way through. Explains EVERYTHING about Statism [aka Modern Liberalism] and how it goes against everything the Declaration and the Constitution are about.

Can we drop the General vs Genital crap please

I almost hate to comment since it's such a silly accusation about Rush's clip. I listened about 5 times. In other words in the clip like tizzy and totally, when Rush says "t" it's an explosive "t" made in the front of his mouth when air rushes out to make the consonant sound. I did not hear anything remotely like a "t" in his pronunciation of General. I have heard that these recordings can get compressed somewhat, but there is not a single hint of an explosive "t". If anything, the r in General got swallowed in the back of his mouth. This is nothing like a T which is formed in the front of the mouth. Can we stop the silliness please. This is kindergarten stuff beneath the posters.

Anyone claiming to hear a t instead of a swallowed r is a mind numbed liberal robot falling victim to mind control of the vast left wing elite socialist conspiracy
(I don't know about the rest of you, but I needed a little humorous interlude after this drivel about "genital")

But, but, but.....it says "Genital" right at the top of the video, so it must be true.

This is an ultra classic case of being spoonfed and believing everything people throw in front of you. Even on YouTube. That's even worse than believing Snopes and Wikipedia.

 

[Binkerthebear]

Parkinsons ? Libs have total dementia. Powell voted for and supported Obama while "moderate" (ie. lib) McCain was the nominee. (Besides, McCain was a "real" war hero.)
What are Powell's positions and values ? He loves the DC Party circuit and being lauded by the liberal, leftist elite media.
Powell is a Republican like Obama is a capitalist !
We are absolutely doomed if anyone on this forum thinks Powell has any sense.
Good God.

 

[Ender]

We are absolutely doomed if anyone on this forum thinks Powell has any sense.

I could care less about Powell; I am always astonished when people think Rush is a conservative.

I think Rush is a conservative. He, too, believes in the 4 things you mentioned.

 

[Binkerthebear]

Powell is one of two things: 1. An anti-American racist or 2. a total idiot.
Idiot: Not a pejorative. I'm talking seriously low IQ.

People who don't understand Rush also have some serious deficiencies. He acts like a "blowhard" because what's the opposite of that ? Answer: Weenie, guilt-ridden moderates who just want to get elected and be popular.
Rush stands on principle and and refuses to succumb to libs insisting that he is a hate-filled, racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe. Rush is the opposite. We should know who fits the description though.
Thomas Sowell was on Beck tonight saying that the Obama Administration is much more in line with fascism than socialism.
Liberals, please get a damn clue !

My how that's changed.

I've said before that the democrats of today are in reality the communists of the twentieth century, and the 'media' republicans of today are twentieth century democrats, everything [in the mainstream media and politics] has shifted hard left.

There still remain a vast hard core group of former republicans who are disenfranchised by politicians of the current 'republican party'. Most have left, the ones who still believe in the platform you posted Ender, and have gone to the Constitutional party. The republicans were infiltrated, divided and conquered to neutralize them and get people like HW and GW Bush, Clinton and obama into office. Most have awakened to what happened when the liberal (communist) 'democrat' McCain was the republican communists choice for presidential candidate.

The reason this has all happened is, the globalists have a NWO agenda, always have, always will. They have compromised the politicians who have sworn to represent you, who now work for the global elite. Why do you think they appoint Socialist/Marxist/Communist judges? Why do you think they approve bills that relentlessly hack at our freedoms and promote communism? Why do you think they didn't bother to read such things as the so called stimulus bills and patriot acts? They didn't need to, they were already told how to vote, why waste their time?

These Republicans actually _want_ a large government, at all levels. They may not want as big as government as Democrats, but the difference really isn't that much.

That is because they are not republicans, they are liberal (communist) democrats, most of whom lied to get elected giving us a wholesale liberal (communist) representative government, which is no representation at all.

They work for the globalists. There is only ONE PARTY in dee cee, the GLOBALIST PARTY. I'm going to post on the NWO quotes by HW Bush et al in a few moments. Open up your eyes and see, unstop your ears and hear what they have been proclaiming for decades. They want the global government, they have an agenda, call it a conspiracy if you wish, because that is exactly what it is and many have bought it and embrace it.

And by the way, Reagan was no conservative, he was a socialist just like the rest of them. I can't figure out why everyone bows down to that guy in reverence, his wife consulted psychics for guidance for pete's sake.

Oh, and Glenn Beck himself claims he is no conservative and gave 5 examples of which I would paint him a far left liberal as well. Limbaugh is a liberal (communist) hack who never quite gets the guts to expose the raw truth about the liberal (communist) activities unless someone else breaks it. If he was a true patriot with real hard hitting news and such, he wouldn't be able to sell his soul for airtime, the MSM wouldn't allow it.

 

[Kent]

I understand that Limbaugh, et. al. consider Democrats to be marxists. Do they consider moderate GOPers in the Colin Powell mold to be marxists as well? I'm puzzled by Limbaugh's successful efforts to make marxism attractive. They are opposed to the moderate Colin Powell and yet they make the kind of 'below the belt' attack that builds support for their so-called enemy.

FJ

I have always considered Limbaugh to be a moderate, so you know what I think of Powell. Most Democrats ARE Marxists, "RINO's" like McPain and Powell are just Socialists.

I'll include myself with Limbaugh because on Colin Powell- I agree with Rush.

Colon is NOT a conservative, never has been. He served his country well as a serviceman, but he is no diplomat, isn't a politician (tho that was offered and declined) and he isn't a conservative.

I'm also offended that he claims to be Republican. He worked for a Republican, he talked the talk when Republicans were 'in', but he hasn't presented himself as one for many years. He held a press conference that he was voting for the most liberal dem in the Senate and lectured Republicans about not being more moderate.

He mocks true conservatives and he belittles people who do stand for their convictions by suggesting that they would go farther if only they would assimilate into the mainstream liberal thinking. (sounds a lot like bobo's suggestion to Israel that they assimilate too huh?)

I don't particularily give a rats ass who he votes for, but telling me that I should compromise my beliefs and values makes me consider his 'advice' as the bs liberal propaganda that it is.

FJ

the poster on YouTube can name a file anything he wants to name it.
Genital seems more appropriate than General if you want to talk about political whores.

As for marriages, give them the respect due for having gambled with a long term comittment in the first place. The voters bought and paid for by DemoCraps and ACORN are usually too many young men and women who have a dozen kids and no rings, and leave the Conservative Christian ProLife taxpayers feed their kids.

Does that go for the Supreme Ruler of the Planet of the Apes CIC as well or only Rush?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Sat, you seem to always be able to find just the right words.

As far as Genital Powell, when DH heard of Powell's endorsement of Obama he said from now on he was Colon Bowel to him.
And I know some will say oh how childish or whatever, but just save it. Some people have a different way of communicating their disdain than others.

My Two cents:

The Republican Party is basically finished as long as there are more have nots willing to vote in leadership that promises something for nothing = redistribution of wealth. When Have Nots outnumber Haves look for more Obama-esqu leaders to follow. As global industrial economies worldwide start the Long Decline due to Peak Oil, there will be a constant growth in number of people who accept definition of themselves as Have Nots and growing number of leaders kowtowing to them.

Best would be for a Conservative Enclave to succeed from the Union and re-establish local Conservative foundation:

*low taxation
*Small government
*Free Enterprise
*Minding our own business & staying out of war unless attacked

The whole is rotten and getting more Rotten by the day.
