right wing re-acts

[dragonrider]

here's rush limbaugh's reaction to obama's win...FUNNY STUFF!


"The real way to look at this is this: 40% of America (I'm approximating the number here) knowingly last night voted for socialism, whether they know what it is or not. Whether they know the definition of the word "socialism" or not, they understand the concept. There are 47 million Americans who do not pay taxes, who do not pay income taxes, and I will wager -- there's no polling data on this, but I will wager -- that the vast majority of them voted for Obama. Now, they did not. You tell them Bolsheviks and Marxists and Lenin and Stalin, they're not gonna understand that.

They may not even understand socialism, and if they do understand it, they think it's a good thing. They've been taught that it's a good thing in school. So what I am going to say is: 40% of the people in this country who vote want the kind of thing that Obama is going to offer. We're going to have to defeat 40% of the country, and then after they're defeated, they're going to be clamoring and mad and angry, and they're going to be... Things are always going to be unsettled in this realm. There's always going to be a certain percentage of people who want something for nothing. I saw... Mark Steyn had the line at the National Review. "We've got a long way from JFK in 1960 who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.'"

That's 1960. In 2008, it's now, "Ask not what your country can do for you; demand what your country can do for you," and that's who voted for Obama. Now, there are a lot of people also that voted for Obama that are not that way per se. Shelby Steele's got a great piece today, that this is white guilt on parade; and he's written extensively of this, numerous books and articles. And that's another thing. Drive-Bys are trying to say, "No, no, no. There wasn't any white guilt here. There wasn't any Raspberry Effect or Blackberry Effect. We've really gotten past it." No, we haven't. We haven't gotten past it at all. Obama made a bargain with them.

These guilty white people, liberals, love the bargain that they were able to make with Obama. Basically Obama says, "Look, I'm not going to do anything to you. I won't threaten you, as long as you don't hold my race against me," and the bargain is, "Okay, we'll support you." It's a little more complicated than that, and I'm paraphrasing from Dr. Steele, and I'll share that with you in the upcoming portions of today's excursion into broadcast excellence. Not everybody... My point is, not everybody voting for Obama is being pulled by the cart, or not paying taxes. There are a lot of smart people who voted for him. Well, "smart." Eh, even I get caught in the trap. We've gotta redefine "smart." That's another thing we have to do damn fast in this country."
- Rush Limbaugh, redefining 'smart' to exclude smart people

Ha ha! Some things never change! Rush is a perrenial idiot and will always resprout no matter how much herbicide you spray on him.

This part is great:

We're going to have to defeat 40% of the country, and then after they're defeated, they're going to be clamoring and mad and angry, and they're going to be... Things are always going to be unsettled in this realm.

Isn't that what we are seeing right now in reverse on his OWN SHOW? His side is defeated and they are clamoring and mad and angry. Does he have no sense of irony?

What is he going to babble about when socialism does not come? The best way to shut this windbag up will be for Obama and his policies and priorities to succeed.

They are planning to protest at the funeral of Obama's grandmother? These people are digging the grave for their own ideology. Might as well bury it the same day. Why would they think this kind of thing would win them any support for their cause?

These people are nuts. They feel that they can be sociopathic, dishonest, destructive, downright evil by any measure, and never need to feel an ounce of guilt because they have an invisible immortal deity that is real in their twisted minds and which justifies and forgives anything they do. Of course they don't care what sane people think of their actions - they have been taught that they have a higher power to answer to which precludes them from the concerns of their fellow mortal beings.

Well, of course the right-wing nutjobs aren't going to take this lying down. The U.S. is a socially problematic nation because it is not nearly as socialist as places like Scandinavia and Canada, and, this being the 21st century, a guy comes along who plans to lead them into the light and probably prove to be the best president since Roosevelt. But of course, socialism is a dirty word to the free market-worshippers, even if it would potentially narrow the apalling wealth gap in America.

The conservative voices on THIS forum are noticably quiet right now. It's a weed forum, so you might expect it to lean a little bit toward the progressive. But when I first started posting in here about a year ago, this was called The Lion's Den, and the most aggressive and confident voices were the conservative ones. Sometime in the mid summer, that started to throttle back a bit, and by the conventions it had quieted down a lot. The last two weeks it was almost silent, and now it is just plain gone.

C'mon guys, where are you? You can't have a politics forum without both sides. I already promised not to gloat too much!

Haha yeah, I bet they're a little shamefaced after the crushing defeat they just suffered. I mean, this isn't just a Democrat who got elected, but probably the most leftist one in sixty years.

maybe the conservative voices are being gracious in defeat...i remember a lot of acrimony from the liberal voices when george bush won, and won again (THE BASTARD!)

we need a mix of conservative and liberal voices here and in government to counterbalance eachother's excesses

You're right...there's a good part of me that would like to see all things and attitudes conservative systematically eradicated, or treated like any other mental illness....but the other part of me realizes that they do indeed have their place. Plus, every state needs a gadfly, as Socrates asserted.

As for myself, I've been a bit busy since September. This old fart decided to go back to school for a second degree. Between the homework and labs, time has been a very valuable thing. Got the BIG test coming up in the first week of December; the EPA 608 Certification test. This degree kind of falls hand in hand with my last one so it should work out cool. Guess you could say that I'M Joe the Plumber. LOL

NOW, I hope SOMEBODY picks up the slack for me in here dealing with these left wingers. LMAO!

Have a good one!:s4:

[maladroit]

a second university degree? i guess that makes you an elitist...welcome to the liberal egghead club!

yeah, somebody needs to keep these liberal moonbats in line before they start helping the poor and organizing communities...THOSE SOCIALISTS MAKE ME SICK!

good luck with your studies
