If you are over the age of 12 and you still don't know what the problem with that is, then you may not be smart enough to understand the answer--and your signature line would tend to reinforce this conclusion.

Are you familiar with the Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) group in New York? A non-partisan group that records speeches and public statements by the most popular public figures and then researches them to find out how accurate they are. They recorded 6 months of Limbaugh programs and checked every fact, then they released their findings: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error.

Interestingly enough almost all of the "facts" were wrong, many were out-right fabrications. When he quotes the Congressional Register, do you ever go and look it up to see if he's telling the truth? I bet not, but the folks at FAIR did--every single reference--and most of the time he was lying. In their book, FAIR quoted Rush and gave the time and date of each statement, which they then followed up with the truth and their sources for it. You will please note that FAIR published a book calling him a liar and he had nothing to say about it, no suit for libel, no attack claiming partisanship because he knew if he did that they would prove him wrong even more loudly and publicly in the press or in court.

Rush is a comedian--and he can be quite funny--but he sold his soul to some rightwing idealogues and became rich by being their attack dog. I thought that the interview with his mother was quite instructive as well--you should look it up on the internet and watch it--she'll give you a different perspective on ol' Rush.

As an aside, I have to admit that my favorite Rush story is his denial of global warming. Most of the "facts" he spouted on his programs came from a couple of books written by Dixie Lee Ray, former Governor of Washington State, who derived much of her "scientific" information from work funded by Lyndon La Rouche, who is a fascinating study in himself. A panel of reputable scientists reviewing La Rouche's climate research labeled it the largest collection of bad science they had ever seen in one place. Rush should stick to being a comedian.

Please. Which part of my post is "trash?"

I know enough about the civil war. I suspect my connections to it are far closer than yours.

Bullshit. You don't fly a Confederate flag in your house and attach one to the back of your motorcycle jacket as a historic symbol, any more than you would with a Nazi swastika flag.

World War 2 was an important time in US history. Why do you not fly Rising Sun or swastika flags?

You're the only one who can be held responsible of your interpretation of my words. I have stated many times my love for my country. Your decision to ignore those words is not my problem.

You do? I thought Rush was doing all your thinking for you. Sure comes off that way.

Ah, so you're perfect, then? You never make any mistakes at all? Why does your divine presence bother with us mere mortals, then?

Oh, and you obviously overestimated my antipathy towards you.


You and your ilk are a threat to America. Why do you hate it so much?


How can I know anything more about you than how and what you write? Your writing is barely high-school level, and your logic well below that. It's not a personal attack, it's the reality that you present to us. If you want us to feel differently, please behave differently.

You Liberals are so easily roused into personal attacks! see post #28

I know you probably support the fairness doctrine because you don't want true Conservatism validated on the radio waves, you want it to be shut down because people actually respond very well to true conservatism. Don't ever question the strength of my character, it's obviously something you know nothing about. So then they're not Conservative, they are Liberal?

You wish.

So, because Rush VALIDATES Conservatism, it's not original? Maybe it's time you wake up and look at reality.

Not at all, Conservatives can debate each other, but it's a warm and friendly debate, not spewing hatred and personal attacks like Liberals do.

How are Liberals different? They've been generalized so well, they want to expand Government to control peoples lives. Normal people, true Americans, like me don't need that.

Who has pointed this out to him? Do you have a transcript?

So supporting Conservatism is not original thought, but being brainwashed by Liberalism is? Ok, I got it now!

He does report the news that we need to know, the news that the Liberal media refuses to report because they refuse to show people the success of Conservatism.

Ok, maybe you're right, maybe one quarter would be better, Liberals are quite over-matched even with one half of his brain. Or mine for that matter, you think it's difficult to knock you guys down? It's not, it's actually quite easy. Look, I just did it!

Could you please explain what you mean by the bolded sentence above?

Who is "you people"?

And what have "you people" done that is anti-American?

To whom do "you people come off as anti-American" to?

I'm sure they are.

Just because I'm fascinated with the era of the Civil war doesn't mean I agree with the Confederacy, I have what is known as values, I'm a collector, maybe you should get to know me before saying what I have honestly told you is bullshit. It's not. Just because you want to forget American history like a typical Liberal doesn't mean that I have to. I wouldn't fly a Swastika because of A. They didn't fly them here in the period, and B. I'm not fond of such a symbol of Liberalism.

Very true, I don't discount the importance of WWII at all. I am just not as fascinated with it, I have a neighbor, and a good friend here who has many MANY relics from WWII, he has some very very cool stuff, but what can I say, I like black powder!

But it doesn't really jive when you call for our troops to cut and run.

I don't need others to make my descisions, again, I'm not a Liberal.

We all make mistakes, now you're just being silly.

No. I know exactly what I'm up against.


Explain how we "hate" it? Is it by promoting freedom? Or maybe by being against our rights being taken away? Yeah, that's it, because Conservatives refuse to relinquish our Constitutional rights, we hate America!


My behavior is not really any of your concern, nor does it show any failure of logic. I think for myself, talk for myself, and act on the best decisions for my family and myself, and frankly, I don't give one sweet damn if you Liberals find disgust in my actions or not. I'm very well convicted, and you know nothing, precisely nothing about my writings. Logic is something that can't be judged by what is written on a simple message board.

Absolutely, I'm more than happy to!

Liberals.

Bit by bit they have taken away more and more of our rights, and if elected will continue to do so until they destroy the Constitution. They are too cowardly to defend the nation, even to the point that they impugn the troops and the leaders as if they were a bunch of murdering idiots. What else do you want to know?

Every hard working true American, people like me.

The FAIR study? The book is available on Amazon: The Way Things Aren't: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error. You can google FAIR or you can go to
http://www.fair.org/index and put Limbaugh into the search window to look at the info they have on him.

Already have you on a personal attack, is that the best you can do, kid?

Oh, the Liberal group, I've heard of them, yes.

More Liberal propaganda.

No reliable source for that.

Yes, I do.

Right.

Like every other Liberal bias place, they mis-quoted, and took Rush completely out of context.

You will please note that FAIR published a book calling him a liar and he had nothing to say about it, no suit for libel, no attack claiming partisanship because he knew if he did that they would prove him wrong even more loudly and publicly in the press or in court.[/quote]

Noted, or maybe, just like every other attacker, they aren't worth his time.

He is funny when he illustrates the absurdity of the left.

I'm sure.

Right, so, humans cause global warming? You are truly delusional!

Maybe I'm just another hardworking American who doesn't like some of the things I see going on in this country and you are making entirely too many assumptions without the information to support them.

So you are saying his Mom is a liberal who lied about him? Woo! If you actually look things up in the Congressional Register then you have the capability of looking up the scientific work showing that we (humans) are playing an important role in the rise of global temperatures. At least you aren't still locked into the NO THERE ISN'T ANY GLOBAL WARMING mindset, that's progress. A bit more research will reveal a world of solid evidence showing our place in this problem.

"No insurance to gays because they know the risk of AIDS through that lifestyle." Interesting proposition the OP has here. Let's apply that kind of thinking to other human beings as well.

If that is the case, they should deny insurance to overweight people. I mean, after all - those people know the risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, Type II Diabetes and respiratory disorders that accompany such a state of being. Why the hell should they get anything then?

Perhaps we should deny insurance to women who don't exercise often or intake a lot of calcium, as they know the risks of developing osteoperosis and other bone problems without such nutrients and care.

Perhaps we should deny insurance to people who have spouses who smoke, as they know the long term effects of risks of second hand smoke. They should know better and the second it is revealed that they have smoking spouses we must automatically assume they don't have them smoke outside and crack the window in the vehicle when smoking.

Maybe those who don't get 25 grams of fiber a day shouldn't get coverage. I mean, they're putting themselves up for a huge risk of colon disease.

Jeez, now that I think about it - maybe I shouldn't have health coverage. I mean, I smoked marijuana once when I was in high school just to try it out. I obviously have done damage (albeit incredibly minimal) to my lungs. I knew the risks and the long term effects.

Maybe nobody but perfect individuals like steveox should get it!

First of all, the Patriot Act has done no such thing. There is no connection between a program that only targets communications coming from, or going to foreign individuals suspected of terrorism. So, unless you have terrorist contacts, (and I doubt you do) I'd say you're safe.


Well, now that torture has been defined, it's been stopped. However, you can't expect the same treatment from our enemy, but whatever makes you feel better, I guess.


First of all, George W. Bush didn't lie about WMD's, all reports stated that they existed, and I do believe they were moved to Syria. We've lost a very small portion of soldiers, it's been a huge success from that standpoint, and you can thank the terrorists for killing all those civilians. Is it un-American to protect and defend ourselves from terrorists? If the terrorists weren't in Iraq, they would be here.

Every once in a while, if you think about it enough, you'll strike gold, and you've definitely struck it here! I assume you're talking about gay marriage, and I couldn't agree with you more, that, along with abortion, along with some other issues are state issues that should be delt with state by state, power to the people, the way our nation was designed!

They're not.

I respect that, totally, I really do.

let me guess, we're causing global warming because a consensus of scientists, with precisely no proof what so ever say we are?
