rush-limbaughConsider buying my Amazon Best Selling book, The BIG Black Lie, as it tackles the #1 issue in politics today. And it’s a 5-star read! Check it out!

Why all the hoopla over Limbaugh wanting to buy part of the Rams?  It is based mainly on two things.  First, he is a Conservative Republican.  And because of his politics, Limbaugh is being attacked, one Democrat saying that Limbaugh can’t wait to “own a team of black slaves.”  There it is…slavery!  Democrats having the nerve to bring up slavery…their institution!

I always find the irony funny when the Left demonizes Republicans, they always choose things of which THEY are guilty.  For the record, Republicans FREED the slaves that Democrats OWNED.  But the Left doesn’t care about the facts, as they like keeping silly Negros stupid!  It’s just make them both feel good.

Speaking of silly Negros, the black players on the Ram say they won’t play for Rush Limbaugh, should Limbaugh buy the team. With the Rams 0-fer record, I contend the black players are not playing for the current owner either.

Black players have no clue about the politics of their current owners, yet they are happy to accept their paychecks.  I have worked for many companies, and in the interview process, I never asked, “Is the owner of the company a racist?”  How would I know, unless he declared himself or herself a Democrat?! Moreover, even if the company owner was a racist, I don’t care!  Just make sure my check clears!

Next, black players are supposedly angry with a comment Limbaugh made about McNabb years ago, when Limbaugh implied that if McNabb were not black, there would have been little discussion of his abilities as a quarterback.  Limbaugh opined that McNabb was an average quarterback, unworthy of the big deal being made about him at the time.  Nothing racist there; just an observation, and one I and likely millions of other football aficionados—black and white—agreed with.

Limbaugh went on to say that the NFL needed a black quarterback darling, which is why McNabb got press he got.  This may or may not be true, but was the opinion of Limbaugh.  The comment was in no way racist, unless you suffer from a victim mentality—or if you are a race-baiting Liberal, i.e. a racist!

The comment was meant to be thought-provoking, and it was. In this time of political correctness, it was an interesting point to ponder.  There are no black owners in the NFL, and the NFL had just begun addressing the issue of black coaches, after years of “black coach oppression.” Prior to the coaching issues, there was the black quarterback issue.  It has been a theory that the NFL did not want black quarterbacks, since the position of quarterback implied leadership of the team.  The guy running the show.  The NFL back in the day said openly that there were no qualified blacks to be NFL quarterbacks, and it was not a conspiracy.  So black quarterbacks who led their teams to national championship were good enough for college, but were better receivers or kick-off returners in the pros?  Socialist please!

Limbaugh shined the light on the idea that the NFL may be practicing that age old Democrat practice of subterfuge, when he asked people to look at the bigger picture, ergo McNabb was the “NFL darling!”

If Bill Clinton had said it, it would not have been negative news. The comment would have been considered ground-breaking, and Clinton a hero.  A great Democrat looking out for the common “colored man,” and protector the lowly Negro…just like all those Southern Democrats protected blacks in the past! 

However because Limbaugh who said it, Liberals pulled out their race cards, en masse, and the public lynching of Limbaugh began in earnest.  He was ceremoniously fired, and order was restored to Bizarro World.

Black players, most of whom are from poor backgrounds want to suddenly take a stand on whom they are willing to be owned by.  Black players are content with Democrat “massas,” but not with anybody else?

Rams Titans FootballHere’s the wrap:

Limbaugh represents all the things that the Left despises.  First he is a Conservative and a Republican, so this by definition is a Capitalist.  The Left hates Capitalists.  You can further confirm that Limbaugh is a Capitalist, because he wants to BUY the Rams, and not have the government GIVE him the Rams, in the form of a bailout, reparations, or otherwise. He prefers to buy low and sell high, which implies improving the team.

A man who has built an empire, and arguably the most successful radio talk show network ever shows interest in your team, and the black players want to paint him as a racist—as if they could actually spot one.  Limbaugh is a winner, pure and simple, and an Old School winner at that.  Limbaugh has more in common with those black athletes than any owner for which they have played or the white racist Democrats who are always so ready to speak on behalf of blacks.

The black players in the league should take a page from The Dixie Chicks…shut up and play!

That’s my rant!

    I don’t think Obama would be president if he was white. Does that mean I am racist too?

    • SPPD

      Obama IS white.He was born white, raised white, and educated white.
      He lived most of his life surrounded by white liberal elitists.
      The legacy of his African allows him to appear to be black when the occasion demands.
      His black community contact consisted of a racist "church" and his assigned duties delivering propaganda poor inner city neighborhood.
      This is why the Democrats allow him to be their frontman

  • jaceinaz

    No, Liz, that does not make you a racist. If you had said, “I don’t like Obama BECAUSE HE IS BLACK,” That would be racist.

    The word “racist” gets tossed around a lot by race baters. As Kevin pointed out here in this post, and previously in the Jimmy Carter post a few weeks ago a lot of accusations of racism have been flying lately. Individuals voicing their opposition to President Obama’s healthcare policies were branded as racists. Why? Based on what data can we classify these dissenters as racist? The answer is there is no basis. It’s an excuse, a distraction from the real issue. Sadly, it’s the only response the democrats know.

    Can I get an amen?

    Anyone read about that kid who raised enough money to rent a billboard based on disgust with their local football franchise?
    I keep trying to figure out how to get the word out on racism.
    Apparently it is about $1200+change a week or so.

    I’ll bet we can raise enough money to perpetually keep a billboard in DC (or somewhere) displaying the definition of racism, then maybe some brief highlights of the history of racism in this country and by whom it was acted out (Democrats).

  • Kevin Jackson

    No, if you voted for Obama because he’s black, then you are a racist! If you voted against Obama because he’s a Kenyan Communist, then you are a PATRIOT!

  • D

    I urge all of you to read a truly great American Senator’s book “Rush Limbaugh is a BIG FAT IDIOT”. Perhaps this bit of information may assist you in rethinking a defense of a truly pompous and indignant creature.

    It is simply astonishing to me how reactionary you are Mr. Jackson. It appears you waste your small precious time on this earth by working harder to slander and undermine Americans (& others) who are working for the benefit of all human beings, instead of focusing on issues and topics where you could be considered an asset.

    Jesus is embarrassed by you, sir.

    • Colorado

      "D" We did not know you are on speaking terms with Jesus. I do think you are the pompous one, putting words in Jesus mouth!! Please list those who are working for the benefit of "ALL" human beings. Show us who all these wonderful, generous Americans are… Working for all of humanity, that is quite a venture…!! I suppose you consider yourself an asset…. to:
      You may fill in the blank….

  • wesleywhatwhat

    right wing nutjobs amuse me. keep the drivel coming while u drink the koolaid.

    • Colorado

      Well, W.W.W. We have to keep you who are "less" fortunate amused somehow. Only because the evil that has slithered into our country are not amusing. You just might be one of them. My Kool-Aid is gone, and I suspect a left wing, socialist, communist, marxist, etc., already drank it. You people always have to have what we have and will just take it , no ,matter what……Bye now, you won't be missed….

    I’d say once again Kevin has done a great job of bringing facts to the surface.

  • Steph

    Are you FRIGGIN kidding ME? This is a hoax right? I mean, I ….just…can’t….catch…my breath….
    D actually thinks a “truly great American Senator’ is AL FRANKEN? The professional Democrat CLOWN? The true BUFFOON of the Senate?

    Oh man, you had me going for a minute. I thought you were serious.

  • Trisha

    D calls Al Franken a “truly great American Senator.” Then he- in his infinite wisdom- speaks for Jesus.

    If the loony left weren’t so pathetic, they’d be hysterical. You can’t make this stuff up.

    Kevin, I love you. Does that make me a racist?

  • Cammie

    “Socialist please!” I love it, and as usual Kevin you got it right! By the way, I think Jesus is mighty proud of you!

  • Mike

    @D

    Not quite sure what book you are talking about, because the only book I know of that name may have been fraudulently elected. At any rate, by any method of computation (other than the Nobel Peace Prize Committee) no first term senator has been in office to deemed “great”.

    Since you apparently know some people who are working to make the world a better place, would you mind putting them in touch with the current Administration. There are a lot of Republicans who are trying to help, but Barry and the gang won’t listen to THEM. Maybe, since you apparently are in direct contact with God, your group would have a better chance. At this point almost anything would be an improvement.

  • http://pdbwatch.blogspot.com/ Blago Bloggo

    Trisha, if you love Kevin because he is black, then you are racist. But if you love him because of the thoughts from his all-American brain, thoughts that he types on his computer keyboard and posts on this rad kewl website, then you are a true American patriot. On the other hand, if if a person is someone like D who thinks Al Franken is good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit people like him, then you are a progressive douchebag who wants to turn the US into Mexico Norte. We have to watch out for those types!

  • fairnez

    I care less about bunch of negros playing whatever and whoever owns them. But good thing happened to Rush; the big mouth. He realizes he is not god. On the second thought, what is wrong in keeping negros like Kevin Jackson under slavery …….just to have a safe street at dark? Nothing wrong. I am tired of democrat and conservative negros who care less about others. Kevin is as original as Hannity, Obama, Pelosi and Limbaugh…..all opportunists. Idiots applaud to themselves.
    Kevin, can you stop pimping and get a real job ..like nine to five kind?

  • http://twitter.com/Fillifan lilamae

    Any man who’s earned enough money to consider making a bid to own a professional football team is in no need of slaves. I’m sure that Rush has only a desire to contribute some management expertise to the RAMS. Might be a WIN WIN.

  • http://truthbloggedhere.blogspot.com Joe of St. Therese

    You’ve hit it on the ball once again Kevin…

    But you gotta love the hypocrisy of the left, makes for great comedy

  • http://juliasnewjournal.blogspot.com/ Julia

    See Kevin, D is what is wrong with America, I couldn’t believe it when I read his comment. Back to Rush. Did you see the photo the left is using.. 10 years old and 60 pounds heavier. I hope the Rams go broke and lose all season, not that I pay much attention to sports but I will now back any team that plays against them.

  • http://constitutionclub.wordpress.com/ Mo K.

    Yep, once again, the left makes sh^t up, the kool-aid drinkers accept it as fact, and the leftwing media rather than doing something called research journalism just runs with it. Typical way the left attacks. Just play the race card. Unfortunately, it works almost every time, because they’re louder, and they know how to play on people’s emotions.
    And liberals are wildly emotional. React first, think reasonably last.

    Great rant, Kevin!

  • Charlie

    This was awesome to read. Very good stuff.

    I read your comment you replied to saying “if you voted for Obama because he is black, that is racism”.

    I have a bunch of people I play XBOX with that are black and a few commented that if I wasn’t a racist, I would vote Obama. Then I said nearly the same thing as that quote I mentioned. Pretty neat.

  • geeky_goddess

    I love Kevin because I really dig cute guys with brains … and because he’s usually right …

  • http://google Janelle

    Again, priceless rant, Kevin. Does anyone beside the left think that skin color is still important? Seriously?

  • James H

    wesleywhatwhat, oh please. You drink your parties kool aid. The party of the KKK. The party that wanted to keep slavery around. Yeah, yeah, I know, some of my best friends are black. Sure. Right. Uh huh.
    Great analysis, Kevin. I’ve been listening to Rush for years and he’s never made a racist comment. And the other day he made a comment about the Civil War and that despite what many people say, slavery was the key issue to the war being fought. To me it was worth it. Slavery is evil. I’d die before I became a slave. I’d kill myself first. To hold someone as a slave is one of the most evil things in the world. Yes, perhaps slavery would have ended sooner or later but when? The sooner it ended, the better.
    And IMO Rush was right about McNabb, not the greatest QB in the NFL. Not the worst but not the best. I remember years ago when a black become one of the first QB in the NFL. Can’t remember his name right now but one reporter asked him, how long have you been a black quarter back? Can you believe that? And of course nothing was said about that. Had Rush said that…..oh my Lord!
    Keep up the good work, Kevin.

  • fairnez

    NFL=national felon league.

    What do these non english speaking, thug, criminals know about politics? If they keep themselves out of jail and stop killing each other would have given them some credit.

  • aussie

    Kevin, another great rant :)

    As for D and a few of the other dimwits who have posted their drivel, they really are the slaves of the DNC, it is just that they cannot see that they are being enslaved.

    I am an outsider, and I try to provide that different perspective on these issues. It was a Democrat who started the KKK, so why on earth is it that blacks flock to the DNC?

    Also, there is the issue of carpetbagging and I see a lot of that going on in Chicago and elsewhere. The carpetbaggers are indeed members of the DNC, and are a part of the Chicago mob.

  • http://www.google.com Curt B.

    I saw this coming as soon as Limbaugh’s name came up. Hey, if he has the money, he gets to own a team. Even if you think Limbaugh is offensive, what has he said that is that bad? Bad enough to draw comparisions to real racists? I especially am upset they let the players dictate, this. Are we going to draw out the old union adage that the workers determine the owners? If NFL players find him offensive,DON”T PLAY FOR HIM. It is that simple. They are free to refuse his paychecks. NFL players are good at what they do, but I don’t want their opinion
    on who the owner should be. Like Kevin said, as along as the paycheck don’t bounce, they can hate me all they want! Most NFL players are loyal to the paycheck and could care less about the owner. Limbaugh has been on the air for 20 yrs and this is the best they got on him?
    I am just curious about one thing, Kevin. Where were Al and Jesse when the young man was beaten to death on video in front of his high school.? Where? Which of these issue is more important? If AL and Jessie want to be real leaders, take on real issues. Limbaugh is small potatoes.

  • Jamie

    Another awesome rant Kevin!!! I’ve been a loyal Rush listener for about 10 years now, and while I don’t always agree with him, I usually do for about 95% of it. I’ve never heard him say a truly racist comment. I even happen to know that his producer and confidant on the show is a “gasp!” black man. So, if he’s such a racist why doesn’t he get rid of the black guy and put a good lil white man in charge of his longest running talk radio show in history? Anyway, that’s my rant!

    Oh, and D and that other retarded guy need to go find more of their kool-aid drinking, non bathing, libtard friends….cause none of them are here!

  • ropati

    I follow professional football only casually, and I cannot name the owner of one single team, nor his politics, nor his eye color. This is all anti-Rush posing and it is extremely juvenile of those involved. I much prefer college football, where the players participate to bring honor to the college rather than to themselves and they are not concerned about their paychecks or expressing political views. There is more heart in college ball. But if that’s what Rush wants to do, political posturing should not stand in his way.

  • Norman

    I like the way you think, Mr Jackson. Something it seems Liberals and Democrats are loath to do. They’ll make a big stink about being such smart intellectuals (congratulating each others intellectual greatness, while calling actual intellectual Conservatives like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams Uncle Toms), while making bone-head decisions that will destroy the economy and the Country. And when stuff is apparently not working, they then say it is because it wasn’t tried ENOUGH! I guess they are simply incapable of understanding what morons they are. Thank God there are people like you who will speak up about the racist Democrats.

  • Daniel E

    Calling Rush a racist is a convenient, ridiculous lie of the highest order. I have been listening to Rush off and on since he was in Sacramento and I have never heard a blatantly racist comment ever. What I have heard him say is that people of any color can succeed in this country with effort and individual responsibility. When Rush is on vacation he even brings in two of the most brilliant minded people to sit in. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. How is that racist?

  • proudhon

    enslaved blacks freed themselves. conservative, states rights zealots owned and fought to defend slavery. and here’s what comes up when you google your “quote”from a “democrat”: http://tinyurl.com/ylfcr3p

  • Daniel Blynn

    Kevin, once again I couldn’t agree with you more. My sister in fact just asked me if I heard about Limbaugh wanting to buy them and she laughed. I proceeded to point out why Limbaugh should be able to and why he is not a racist as the lefties like Sharpton try to paint him as. After I did so, I came on here as I knew you would have a “rant” on the subject, and that it would be 100% correct.

  • Josey Wales

    Kevin, once again an excellent column… it gets an eleven on a scale of one to ten. As far as the Democrat with the comment “Limbaugh can’t wait to own a team of black slaves….”, sounds like the Democrat is saying ALL the NFL teams are composed of slaves, regardless of who the owner is…. I don’t doubt that is the REAL view of that “enlightened” Democrat.

  • http://www.theblacksphere.net Mick

    Kevin….another great rant.

    Rush was right. McNabb was just an average quarterback. He wasn’t deservant of all the attention he was receiving. If he had been white there would have been no mention about his average playing ability.

    According to FOX News Rev Al Sharpton is the number one person responsible for Rush’s removal. Didn’t hear what Sharpton said but I’m certain there were racial comments and slurs made!!

  • http://jjsolari.com jj solari

  • Dana

    Remember when we used to be able to voice an innocent thought without having to second guess every word we said? Ahh, good times.

    We cannot let them put us on the defensive about whether we are racist or not. Good grief, most of us never gave race a thought because WE’RE NOT RACISTS, until a year ago when suddenly making a choice between A or B meant we were racists.

    But, it’s union organizing 101 again; when they don’t have a leg to stand on, when everything the other side is saying is true but they just have to convince the sheeple to follow them blindly off the edge of the cliff; that’s when they raise their voices and call names. They try to out-shout you and the name calling begins.

    We all need to don our “thick skin” to get through this because when we don’t they jump on that opportunity like a dog in heat jumps the closest leg. Don’t let them make you start questioning whether you are racists or not. Only racists, thugs and the union put this much time into talking about it. (Divide and conquer; another rule out of U.O. 101) The rest of us, we just move through life making decisions based on right and wrong, not black and white.

    I’m zipping up my “thick skin” suit now and if defending what is morally right rather than siding with the race du jour makes me a racist, well yell all you want…”I can’t hear you!”

    Why do white people care when they are called a racist. Blacks call each other a nigger, b…and whore and all other kind of things. All we see is a result of many years living in sub-human condition forced on negros -not anymore however.

    All you whining whites give chance to those negros to come to their senses. After you rape their dignity for generation, now you question why they act like this? Do you know how many black people hate themselves because you bundle them all together?

    All negros are members of your society to whom you whites and your system openly denied them access to be their best. You didn’t allow them to vote, to go to school, join the army, and you benefited from their sweat-for FREE.
    They lived on what THE MASTER gave them. Now they live on welfare, because you thought them to wait for THE MASTER (only this time uncle sam) for their needs-however hard they worked.

    It has been less than 50 years since they got their freedom. I say, give the negro a chance and all will be fine. As you may realize many are becoming middle class citizens.

    I say to you: all these ‘boys’ are growing up. Look at Kevin, Al-sharpton, Jordan, Clarence Thomas, Obama, Jay Z, ….and they all became different- Like you whites are. Give them chance!!!!

    This is not unique to America. The condition of the negro in South Africa, Zimbabwe is the same. You may add the Gypsies in Europe. They all WERE NOT considered human beings until recently . And were deprived access to the resources-again they all worked. Back in the days, who would support a not working negro at the master’s?

    People who became victim of any kind of violence: sexual assualt, robbery, war find it hard to forget the scenario. Do not expect the negro to recover in short time.

  • FA

    “enslaved blacks freed themselves. conservative, states rights zealots owned and fought to defend slavery. ”

    Proudhon are you retarded? Did you learn this from an old episode of “Friends”?
    It is a known fact, documented in every encyclopedia, history book and other ‘reference’ material (as opposed to the fictiional, op-ed crap anti-conservatives read, hear and call fact) that the political alignments that perpetuated slavery, fought for slavery and wanted to break from the US in order to keep slavery legal (Civil War) either were or eventually were assimilated into the Democratic party.
    (Sorry for the run-on sentence)

    Do your homework. Learn History. The parties that fought and gave their lives to abolish slavery became conservative parties, including Republican.

  • FA

    fairnez – You gave a very accurate description of what the Democratic party stands for and has accomplished over the past hundred years or so.

    First of all, the fact that you spent 3 paragraphs talking about “The condition of the negro”. This is one of your problems. As soon as you discuss people as a racial group, you are fanning the flames and thus are part of the problem. I guess I should start whining about the “condition of the people with brown eyes” since I’ve always felt that because I have brown eyes, I’ve been treated differently than my peers with blue or green eyes. Blue eyes are recessive and yet if I look around, all mgmt has blue eyes…hmmm…
    rediculous.

  • proudhon

    @FA, actually, i know history pretty well. here’s a historical fact i am fairly certain of: freedom is never a gift from on high granted by some benevolent politician or party, it is fought for and earned by those from whom it is being withheld.

    here’s another one: those who fought alongside the enslaved to end the institution of slavery were fighting to fundamentally transform the u.s. and to radically redistribute wealth (in this case to relieve the slave-owning class of their right to their human-chattel property and all that they produced). regardless of what the political party was called, the values of its radical abolitionists were decidedly not conservative (how did they come down on the big conservative issues of today? what was their position on state’s rights? on narrow interpretations of the constitution? on huge, interventionist federal government?). you’re making an incredibly specious argument to suggest that the republicans party of Frederick Douglass and thaddeus stevens shares anything but a name with the republican party goldwater and reagan.

  • proudhon

    @FA, i think you’re mistaking conservatism for republican partyism. i suspect most conservatives would say that those are not the same thing. abolitionism was decidedly not conservative.

  • fairnez

    Norman
    The term uncle Tom smells like an slavery time expression. There were two kind of negros: Those who worked outside on the field and others working inside-House negros. The House negros tend to tell everything on the field negros.

    The field negros, worked hard, but were ‘less than a person’ than the house negros. These house negros were wel fed, clothed by the master hence loyal to HIM. What the master has done is DIVIDE and CONQUER the two negros so that he stays in charge. Most negros stack together for good and bad. But some were on the master side.

    It is a common thing in black community to group think. They assume all are a result of that horrible period in history and consider sharing the same outlook. But, when people like Kevin and Thomas Clarence have a different opinion-unlike the majority of the other negros, they call them uncle Tom. Why are you surprised? It is a fruit of white man’s work. Have the courage and enjoy your ‘hard work’ STOP COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!

    FA
    I don’t care which party does what. I DON’T NEED you nor any other party to help me. I can do it by myself. All what I am saying is, let the whites take some responsibilty ( like to stop whining when someone calls them a racist) for what they have done to a negro. They raped, manipulated, and subjugated his MIND for many years around the globe.

    Unless you are an IDIOT you know it too. In just less than 50 years of leveling the field look what the negro is accomplishing. Can you imagine what the future looks like for negros around the world?

  • FA

    First of all, ph, you shouldn’t introduce a statement you are claiming as FACT with the words ‘i am fairly certain of’. Sounds like me trying to tell someone my wife’s birthday. “I’m fairly certain it is Sept. 21st”. But alas, I’m usually wrong.

    The phrase is cute, albeit not true. Freedom fought for and obtained by those not free is called a revolt or a revolution. The civil war, among other reasons, was based on the politicians (that eventually became the republican party) trying to abolish slavery, i.e. make it illegal. If it were what you said (and I’m ignoring the silly part ‘gift from on high’) it would have been called “The Great Slave Revolt of 1882″ or something like that.

    Today, unfortunately, Republican and conservative are frequently considered one and the same. Democrat and liberal as well. I am morally a Christian conservative. I am fiscally a capitalist. I am politically a republican. To me these are very distinct things.

  • fairnez

    FA
    I think you are the one who need to learn history. For starter try this:

    What time does Britney Spears gets up in the morning?
    What color of shoes does Clooney likes to wear?
    How many times Madonna got married? Like many of your people these are the pressing issues/history of our time.

    You idiot…..don’t you know that many women have issues with the portryal of being thin with beauty? No body is forcing them to be one way or the other. But they eat less, work out a lot to be thin-a result of the portryal.

    Do you want to compare your brown eye issue with mind freezing,controlling and paralyzing condition a negro has suffered? What an idiot?

  • fairnez

    FA
    YOU SHOULD START whining about brown eye color people if as a result of their eye color:
    -Are forced to seat at the back of the bus-In a CHRISTIAN nation
    -Not allowed to vote
    -Not join the army
    -Called a ‘boy’
    -lynched………………………………………..
    -Jim Crow/sold/bought
    I would whine, if the result is the breaking of my mind that is taking me many years to overcome.

    Your psychologists like to explain how a broken home makes some one go out and do all kind of crazy things right? How come that all what has been done to a negro by the white man be explained by the same theory. Stop whining!!!

  • FA

    Wow, you must be really really old. Was your mind broken?

  • proudhon

    1882? really, FA? you cast quite a few aspersions on other people’s intelligence while demonstrating a pretty weak grasp of some of the basic facts of u.s. history.

    yes, political parties and political values are two distinct things. that’s why i think it is disingenuous of you and kevin and michael steele and whoever to claim some kinship to a social movement that held political values completely at odds w/ your own, simply b/c their political party and your political party share the same name. (and, btw, it’s not that they “eventually became” the republican party, they *were* members of the republican party, just a fundamentally different one).

    and i am sorry, but we have completely different interpretations of the civil war. i’d argue with you, but like i said, from your couple of sentences, you don’t seem to have the basics down.

It was not the republican nor the democrats who freed me.

    a) I don’t want you depending on me, the democrats do. I say fuck off and fend for yourself. I’ve always felt this way. Everyone is responsible for your own life.
    b) I don’t feel sorry for you. I don’t feel sorry for anybody. If someone’s life is in the toilet, its their own making. I say tough, deal with it.
    c) I grew up in the inner city in Chicago. I prefer to sit and the back of the bus so sit your stupid ass up front please, you’re crowding my space.
    d) So freakin what? do you know what it is like to be in a wheelchair? How about what it is like to be standing in a field in some God-forsaken country with bullets flying over your head. Don’t talk to me about any kind of condition. You are dealt cards. What you do with those cards is up to you. Obviously you went all in and lost. tough shit.

    I think Limbaugh is just obsessed with being “manly.” He thinks owning a football team will help that. I think he is America’s – maybe the world’s – best impromptu orator. Don’t get me wrong. He can bring tears to your eyes when he talks about America. But when he talks about women and his “attraction” to them, I get the creepy crawlies all over the place – for one thing – and for another thing, I don’t buy any of it.

    But, believe progress has been made.

    The biggest problem with racism and racist today is Obama. Not necessarily his fault but it has to do with him. If you support him everything is fine. If you do not think he’s qualified or you disagree with his policies the liberal press led by MSNBC will call you a racist. The far-left is really responsible in keeping on its rapid pace.

    During the election those people who voted for McCain were racists and those voting for Obama weren’t.

    obama’s so stupid he doesnt even have a clue that he’s somebody’s boy. probably some white guy’s boy. he came outa nowhere and he probably thinks its because he’s a divine magician. he’s a stupid rube who some white guy is whispering in his ear that he’s the Black Messiah to the Oppressed Nee Grow. And naturally this grinning idiot believes it because that’s how stupid he is. This is all so Marxist even a newborn headless duck on Mars could see it. The instant his usefulness fails or his Messiahship in the eyes of the downtrodden negro comes into question, he’ll vanish even faster than he appeared. Because he’s a dumbass shill of some white guy. I suspect that in some corner of his idiot head he is vaguely aware of all this and actually thinks that he can outwit his “greedy white handlers” and that he will have the last laugh. and that’s why he IS where he is: because he actually IS that stupid.

  • Dana

    @JJ
    I’ve been convinced from the start that President Obama is merely the puppet on the end of strings held by a bunch of very, very wealthy marionettes. Think TIDES foundation. It’s just all too perfect; too planned. But, as the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for”, because I believe he will become dispensable in the not too distant future.

    On another note; I refuse to feel guilty that my skin is not black. If my own father were a slave owner (which he wasn’t) but if he were, I still would not feel guilt. I do not carry the guilt of others’ choices and I am so over those white and black “leaders”?? who insist I should!

    I have no tolerance and feel no sympathy for anyone, skin color is irrelevant, who spends their life pissing and moaning about what happened to their great grandma back in the day and uses it as an excuse for their mediocrity. Good grief. We can all go back a few generations and discover horrible things our great grandparents even our grandparents endured, either in their homeland or here in America. Does that make us all victims? Should “the other” race grovel in guilt to erase the past? Let’s just call it a wash and move forward.

    However, to any blacks or any race, or any PERSON who prefers to live in the paralyzing dim light of sorrow and self-pity of a past long-dead, expect to be seen by others in that same dim light.

  • proudhon

    @Mary from Michigan, here’s what the conservative goldwater institute thinks about sheriff arpaio:

    “Although MCSO is adept at self-promotion and is an unquestionably “tough” law-enforcement agency, under its watch violent crime rates recently have soared, both in absolute terms and relative to other jurisdictions. It has diverted resources away from basic law-enforcement functions to highly publicized immigration sweeps, which are ineffective in policing illegal immigration and in reducing crime generally, and to extensive trips by MCSO officials to Honduras for purposes that are nebulous at best. Profligate spending on those diversions helped produce a ?nancial crisis in late 2007 that forced MCSO to curtail or reduce important law-enforcement functions.”

    you can read the entire report here (pdf): http://tinyurl.com/ylo8epb

    it surprises me that people like this get celebrated by libertarian-leaning folks, considering his contempt for individual’s liberties. and btw, this belief that local law-enforcement can flout federal laws (which arpaio does) is quite consistent with those confederates this blog post tries so hard to disavow.

    It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).

    Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. Don’t we all feel better?

    What you liberals need to do is to show how innovative and original you are by getting your own radio station, garnering a larger audience than Rush Limbaugh has and beat his pants off in the arena of ideas.

  • fairnez

    @Mick
    You said “The biggest problem with racism and racist today is Obama. Not necessarily his fault but it has to do with him.” I agree with you all the way. Rascim was born in America in January 20/20008. As far as I am concerened it is mainly whites talking about racism. He never said anything affecting him beacause he is black.

    It is people like Rush, Sean, Keith O’lberman, Chris Matthew, who are beating the race drum for various reasons. I don’t know how they became expert in this issue. I don’t need you to tell me how the democrat are affecting me so I go republican. My question to you is who are you to advice me? I CAN figure this out myself.

    You still live with that mentality that the negro needs to be told what is good and what is not. If I choose republican or democrat I will live with the consequences. All I am telling you is to stay out of my business and let be me.

    I don’t hear a thing about the dust poor southeren whites who always vote republican. Why? Because they are white i.e they ‘must know’ why they always vote republican. You see how arrogant you are tell me which party I should vote for?

    You think all blacks live in a ghetto, are poor and vote democrats. You forgot that some vote republican ( even a few of them hold high office) and some DO NOT VOTE at all. So, what is your beef with me you arrogant, telling me how I should vote.

  • James H

    Okay, Paul. Prove his racist comments. Go ahead. Prove it. Got any evidence? If not then please be quiet.

  • proudhon

    @James H. i’m not paul, but here’s my take.

    limbaugh’s personal beliefs (racist, or not) are irrelevant. his show, however, is full of race baiting and white populism. there’s no question that a big part of his appeal is that he reaffirms this narrative that white people are loosing out in this economy because of black folks and that the larger society cares more about black people than working-class and lower middle class whites. so he’ll say mcnabb is overrated because of “social concern in the NFL” and “the media” who are “desirous that a black quarterback do well.” and he’ll say the media is “dumping on” rex grossman “for one reason…because he is a white quarterback.” neither of these is overtly racist. both play on people’s racial anxieties and contribute to an incredibly inaccurate and ahistorical narrative, and together they engender a growing white resentment that black people are being given preferential treatment in this society.

  • Dana

    “…and together they engender a growing white resentment that black people are being given preferential treatment in this society.”

    They are. But let’s me honest, it’s not only whites who are tired of it and resent it; it’s all other races.

  • Dana

    Oops! Of course I meant, “…let’s BE honest”.

  • fairnez

    I thought Rush was kicked out of the bid by rich WHITE conservatives based on business decision. I think he should have been able to go on with the bid.

    His problem is that, he spends too much time talking about me excercising his freedom of speech.His show is full of race baiting, but I have to admit that I agree with many of the things that he says about the negro. This kind of freedom is not available to everyone, however.

    Jeremiah Wright, our communist leader Barack Hussein Obama’s former pastor did not get the same defense by whites. Was he not excercising his freedom of speech? He said despicable things mainly when he said ‘God damned America.’

    I wonder what I will be called if I own a talk show and spend most of my time talking about how WHITE people are destroying America-financially-and how WHITE CEOs are robbing people of their savings? I might add in my show that many WHITE execuitves find a means to deny healthcare coverage to those in need- after people paid their dues. This is a very valid argument and all happen to be true.

    Many of you would think I am a racist – and I am BLACK. The same rule was applied to Rush-and he is WHITE

  • http://thebastardofthechurch.wordpress.com/ theboc

    @proudhon

    You obviously listen to Rush Limbaugh’s show since you know so much about him. It is a little funny, though, that all your facts are taken from the state run media. I think if you really listened and opened that closed mind of yours, you might hear what he is saying and what his message is. Tell me this–is it not true that blacks are handed more opportunities than whites? Can I as a white man apply for a grant from the United Negro College Fund? How about designating a month for White History? What about quotas? What ever happened to the fireman who were passed over being promoted because there weren’t enough blacks in the job pool? How many other qualified individuals are denied promotions because of race? How many are elected into office because of race? Show me a black mayor of a large city where the crime rate has gone down after he/she was elected!! Obama was elected because he is black. Limbaugh was blackballed because he is conservative. This crap is gone to far and people are fed up with it.

    “Show me a black mayor of a large city where the crime rate has gone down after he/she was elected!!” In another word you are saying ‘have you ever seen a black mayor who knows how to govern’?

    It is idiotic of you to say this because black mayors are elected where black people live. In many instances there are remnant conditions of what blacks had to endure in the very near past. And these black people share the same weakness like many others in the country. Some real and some perceived because of their past history. Do you know how many negros feel they were not given promotion because they were black? How many of them sued? How many white patients refused to be seen by a black doctor?-however they have a right to choose. Good reason to hate your afirmative action and your quotas.

    Your people came out with this idea of fairness and black history month to make themselves feel good about their ancestors past. It is arrogant people like you who think I need your emphaty, and your qouta to succed. I bet you failed in many areas of your life and you want me to be responsible for it.

  • proudhon

    @Dana and theboc: it looks like we all agree that part of limbaugh’s appeal is his support for this white populist narrative. we disagree on how accurate/truthful this narrative is. to answer your question theboc, no, i do not think any reasonable person would conclude, based on an objective reading of our present conditions, that “blacks are handed more opportunities than whites.” pick any objective measure you’d like and i can assure you we can see a racial disparity that does not favor blacks. employment/unemployment? wealth? education? general health? infant mortality? cancer rates? incarceration rates? etc. the problem is, millionaire white folk like limbaugh are more than happy to let poor white folks believe that it is blacks that are the source of their economic problems rather than this post-industrial economy that has very little use for unskilled laborers, white, black, or otherwise.

    @Kevin, as usual, i am confused by the comments you’ve directed at me. i’m not sure where i spoke on your behalf or tried to tell you about yourself. what i did say was that you’re not giving the enslaved any credit for their role in their own liberation, if you think the republican party “FREED” them or granted them their freedom as some benevolent gift. i also noted that the only person to have arranged those words you have in between two quotation marks attributed to “a democrat,” according to google, is you ( http://tinyurl.com/ylfcr3p ). and i assure you, i’ve no interest in your jockstrap.

    @ fairnez

    You obviously have some serious anger issues–why is that? Again I ask, name me a city where a black man or woman has become leader (or better yet, I’ll say democrat) and the crime rate has not gone up. I am from New Orleans and watched the city decline since the first black mayor, Dutch Morial, was elected to office. You can blow all the rhetoric you want but the numbers show the proof. Ray Nagin wanted an all “chocolate city” after Katrina tore New Orleans apart. Well guess what–he’s got one and it is the most violent city in the U.S. per capita. Argue that, fairnez. And please don’t say it was Bush’s fault–that argument is null.

    @proudhon
    You see, Affirmative Action and quotas are based on numbers, not abilities and skills. Since it’s inception what have we seen? Unqualified individuals getting positions where they are not capable of doing the job, thus running the business (or city) into the ground. Is it coincidence that the majority of black people are democrats? Wonder why that is? Because democrats are giving handouts and blacks have been taught that they do not have to earn anything, it will just be given to you. I am fixing to lose my house because of the economy. My wife and I applied for assistance. She is a Disabled Vet. We were turned down because we make “too much money”. Our yearly salary combined is under $35,000.00 and we have 3 children. No debt, we are already in bankruptcy. There is no government program to help us because we are not a “minority”. Now that is first hand experience and you are going to argue with me when I can ride past a government housing project and see brand new Escalades and Navigators parked there and blacks are not favored? I can’t even get help with food from the government because I am not the correct racial make up. Go out and live in the real world see what it’s really like, you liberal piece of @@$@% before you start spewing the bullsh!t the media feeds you!

  • proudhon

    @theboc, first off, i’m not calling you names, why not extend the same courtesy? i too live in the real world, and have first-hand experience with poverty (i’ve detailed this in other posts, feel free to read them before cast anymore ill-informed judgments). i don’t watch the “state run” or “liberal” media for ques on how to think, and for the millionth time, i’m not a liberal.

    why are people who clearly need assistance not getting it? because it has become politically beneficial to shrink social welfare programs in this country. my perception is that middle class white people care more about tax rates than the well-being of people living at or below the poverty line. and “welfare” has become synonymous w/ “handout to lazy black people” (in part, b/c people like limbaugh and many people on this board spread this mythology that the majority of black people don’t work, are on welfare, and that welfare is a program that benefits only black people — all, of course, patently false).

    none of that is the fault of impoverished black people. so they shouldn’t be the scapegoat. if anything, there are many working class and lower-middle class blacks who are in the exact same situation you are in.

    *I urge all of you to read a truly great American Senator’s book “Rush Limbaugh is a BIG FAT IDIOT”. Perhaps this bit of information may assist you in rethinking a defense of a truly pompous and indignant creature.

    It is simply astonishing to me how reactionary you are Mr. Jackson. It appears you waste your small precious time on this earth by working harder to slander and undermine Americans (& others) who are working for the benefit of all human beings, instead of focusing on issues and topics where you could be considered an asset.

    Jesus is embarrassed by you, sir.*

    I would like to bring to this man’s attention that Senator Al Franken is such a great senatore that in his FIRST SIX WEEKS IN OFFICE he had a whopping NEGATIVE 2% NET APPROVAL RATING. Great senator? Yeah, great at being a failure.

    Oh, and how arrogant is it to actually claim to know what the Son of God is embarrassed by? Just a question. Hope it doesn’t make me a racist to ask it.

    leboc@18/8:21am. It sounds as if your case is one which would receive some kind of help under the existing laws. I fear monies, drifting away from the taxpayers’ pocketbook and into some bureaucratic clubhouse, may be the culprit. That is why a turn of events must happen. There must be Constitutionally limited government.

    Prude Hon, why don’t you drag yourself and your Marxist students of tribal life off into the woods and out of here. Your “perception” as you call it extends to the bohemian coffee houses of preindustrial romania and no further. We do not have capitalism here in America; we have a desultory, half-hearted form of Fascism, or government regulated “restricted enterprise.” And you want to trade that, bad as it is, for total State control. Or in other words No Production At All. Your an idiot. Leave. Go home. You don’t belong here. You’re a stupid pain in the ass. A pain I am sure you are real familiar with.

    Wow fairnez… do you seriously think white people need to own up to racism, that happened generations before us? Hell, the whiners who STILL COMPLAIN about slavery should pack up their crap and go back to Africa…. They still do genital mutilation there. good luck to them.

    You say capitalism is the problem? Lack of it is. Companies are taxed so freakin’ high and have so many environmental restrictions put on them they are forced to leave the country in search of a cheaper place to make there product. Thank God for Mexico because American companies have a place to go to make what they sell for cheap. Wonder why so many American products are made in China? Because China is communist and the government limits salaries–the common person is not allowed to make any more than those in government and the government controls them–sound familiar??

  • http://ewebsmith.com/self/racists.html Web Smith

    One of my great, great, great grandfathers was hidden by his family’s slaves when the Carpetbaggers came through after the war and massacred the rest of his family. He was then given to his mother’s sister. The other one was part of the Irish brigade that was left to defend Washington D.C. during the war. Fortunately, he, according to family accounts at the time, got his wife pregnant before he left for battle. I am understandably grateful that my family owned slaves. Hope that doesn’t make me a racist.

    Slavery was a bad business model and most of the plantation owners were land rich, cash poor, and deep in debt. They would often do without while they fed, clothed, provided medical care for, and paid off loans that they used to buy their slaves. It would have been much more economical to pay people to plant and harvest their crops. Slavery was on its way out before the war as technology was advancing. Lincoln’s initial plan was to reimburse slave owners for the loss of their property as slavery was abolished one state at a time and develop training programs for former slaves to help them transition to freedom. Even then, Congress was more interested in winning the argument than helping the country through a transition process and Lincoln was forced to take sides. We didn’t have to kill 700,000 Americans to abolish slavery.

    Rush Limbaugh is too much of an astute businessman to embrace the slavery business model or to intentionally alienate a large portion of the market that an NFL franchise targets. He wants to employ black men and pay them a lot of money to keep his competitors from getting them.

    If you want to know who the true racists are you have to look no further than the ones who perpetuate the illegal immigration that has driven 40% of black American working age men out of the workforce and largely prevents 25% of all Hispanic Americans, looking for work, from finding a job. Since these demographics are disproportionally represented among the poor, they are also the ones who will be the most harmed by skyrocketing energy and health care costs that will result from cap and trade and health care reform. When amnesty gets passed, these Americans will be permanently unemployed and forced into the welfare state. The people screaming racism the loudest are the ones committing racist acts.

  • Kevin Jackson

    If you ever owned slaves, then you are a racist! If you were ever a slave, then you have a reason to pull the race card! If you are neither of these, then don’t buy into the Left’s idiocy! If you are a Liberal or a Democrat, then you are a serious racist, and stupid to boot!

  • proudhon

    @theboc, i can’t say that i am following you there. are you saying you’d prefer to live in an authoritarian society like china or one with no labor or environmental laws like mexico? you say “Companies are taxed so freakin’ high,” but do you have a sense of what those rates are? corporate income tax rates are lower today than they were in the 1980s. in fact they’re lower than they were for much of the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. if you want to know why jobs are leaving the u.s., just look at the growing disparity between the avg. wage and and the avg. ceo salary over that same period of time. again, it’s not the poor people who are screwing us, its the millionaires who want to be billionaires. that’s real talk, from the “real world.”

    @Erin, bad news, racism is not just something “that happened generations before us” http://tinyurl.com/ylcw45t . maybe we should tell that judge to “go back to europe.”

    @Web Smith, where does that 40% number come from? i agree that illegal immigration places additional pressure on working class black folks competing for jobs, but that number seems quite high. also, i’m not sure i know who you mean when you say “the ones who perpetuate the illegal immigration.” do you mean agribusiness, meat-packers, etc.? how do you square their ‘let the free market be’ argument with the desire to strictly regulate immigration? i followed that link from your blog and it seems to me your sources there aren’t just about restricting illegal immigration, but creating far more regulations for legal immigration too. how does that jibe with the libertarianism of laissez faire capitalism?

    and @jj, “Your an idiot”? really? c’mon, “your” better than that. also: why don’t you stop replying to me. that sentence was probably the only funny thing i’ve read from you in quite a while. you’re trying so hard, and yet falling so short. why not cut your losses and beg someone else for attention.

    @Erin
    You are the one complaining about rerverse rascim. Why don’t you pack up and leave to where-ever you came from. I was forced to come here but I decided to stay. Besides I built the nation with my sweat. My rights here are as equal as yours. Typical of you to get rid of me after you have used me. Probably you are one of those angry people who blame blacks for their failed marriage.

    I don’t blame your ignorance because this is all you know. When I, as Negro-AMERICAN
    voice my disagreement; you want me to leave and go to Africa (you probably think Africa is a nation and you don’t even know where USA is in the map)-arrogance, ignorance- I forgive you. My beef is not with mis-informed and ignorant people like you. I hear the same thing over and over again in Rush’s radio show. Do you think you can claim more ownership of America than I do?

    @theboc-The angry
    When you show me one city in the deep SOUTH, with ALL-WHITE RESIDENTS ( or the appalachian) that is not DUST POOR I will point out to you a place where a black mayor has done well. I thought this white is better than black theory was some thing of a past? Angry theboc, the problem is the class status, lack of the resources and the social justice facing ALL POOR people. This time in our history most poor people appear to be black.

    When OJ kills a person he gets off the hook easily because he was able to purchase some good lawyers. When another negro steals a COKE from the store he gets 2 years in jail. Martha Stewart gets to ‘live at another house’ for short period of time and so on. When a white drug lord is suspected the feds take years building their case. If a negro is SUSPECTED he might be killed or sent to jail. I do not condone the action of the negro nor any other person harming another person.

    @ fairnez – you are the ignorant one. You didn’t even answer my question, how can you put blame on the whites today for what happened before they were even born?? Also, who forced you to come here? If your saying that your ansestors were forced to come here, then yes, how sad. (it must be hard being born into such a great country) Its also very sad to see how many black slave traders there were. Maybe you should hate blacks, because they betreayed their own people. How many whites fought for the blacks to have freedom? Also, I’m not sure of your sex. But assuming that you are male and if I was to follow your thought process, then I should hate you. You need to own up to how your male ansestors treated women. After all, women couldn’t vote, and were always lower class.
    But no, I’m not ignorant. I’m thankful for the women who fought for my freedoms and gave me the rights that I have today. Shouldn’t you feel the same way? But no, you will pull the race card and fuel the fire. Your the racist one here. I love how you totally ignored my questions, and then did the typical liberal thing of making fun of me, and calling me stupid. lol @ your comment that I can’t find the US on a map, who’s discussing maps?

    Dear Mr. Kevin Jackson:

    Rarely do we find one with the true ‘writer’s gift’ – that notion of being serious, yet all the while, through truth and the way it’s presented can bring laughter – uncontrollably with tears just streaming down one’s face. My how the truth when communicated effectively, has us laughing at ourselves!

    Love your blog – moreover, love the content and your audience. Speaking of which:

    @ James H:

    The quarterback you refer to is Doug Williams: On January 31, 1988, in San Diego, California, Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins becomes the first African-American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl, scoring four of Washington’s five touchdowns in an upset 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII.

    The numbers from the Redskins’ 2nd quarter alone would match a lot of NFL games, but for one quarter are ridiculous. Five scores for 35 points, 356 total yards, including 228 passing by Williams (9 of 11), 122 yards on five carries by Smith, and 168 yards on 5 receptions by Sanders. The five touchdowns came in 18 plays covering just 5 minutes and 47 seconds of possession time. And of course the game’s MVP.

    @ Et al.,

    Unbeknownst to many people – better yet – most people is that Donovan McNabb offered Rush Limbaugh a job as his agent. After the press completely ran ruckshot on what Limbaugh really said, McNabb stated he’d never received so many endorsement offers in his career! Time frame; 1 week; Monetary consideration; $8 million; personal telephone conversation McNabb to Limbaugh.

    Cheers everyone!

    Rush can not own an NFL Football Team because Rush will not take a drug test to prove he is not consuming a fist full pills everyday. In a few days Rush will leave one of the most conservative AM radio stations in America so he can be aired in the Raleigh, NC Market on an FM country radio station.

    I realize profit and money should rule all aspects of life but what about principals and loyalty. This station stood with Rush when no one knew if he would get out of Rehab. They stood with him knowing he may go to jail.

    Rush is leaving this radio station and their twenty-Five years of support because of a better deal at another radio station. Sure he can do it if he wants but he is turning his back on good, loyal friends who stood with him in hard times.

    People like me have destroyed this station’s advertising base because they air Rush so do not think AMerica’s AM radio stations have not suffered because of rush Limbaugh. I am Happy but it disturbs me how disloyal Rush is to true conservatives and Republicans who have supported him. Rush picks at Nut GrinRich all the time.

    Rush is making money destroying America and could care less if you survive the damage he has caused. Palin would be your Vice President if Rush had not mucked up the Republican’s chances of taking the White House…. and Now America has Health Care and our Border’s are still open and Rush is getting Rich in this economy while some of you are losing your home.

    If Rush will leave a radio Station after 25 years of support then Why do you think he cares anything about you. Rush does not care and not caring is not a conservative principal

    • http://www.theblacksphere.net Kevin Jackson

      You are seriously misguided. I know without a doubt that you are not a conservative. And by the way, I don’t need Rush or anybody else to “care about me.” I care enough about “self”, and have managed to find a few others who do as well.

      The damage being caused is by people like you and other liberals who are destroying this country. Why don’t you put your efforts into the real enemies, like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, Dodd, Frank, Waters, and the many other liberals, aka communists who want America to be destroyed!

  • jj solari

    I am a critic of Rush Limbaugh but only because he is not Conservative ENOUGH. I also am a critic of Rush Limbaugh in the sense that he is a lampoonable entity, much as anyone in the public eye is. However – speaking now to his lockstep fans – there is not a true Conservative alive who would flinch at someone making a better deal for himself. For Cancelrush.com to have a problem with this at all means that he she or it needs to get a remedial course in Conservatism. It’s called liberty, the free market, and whatever the traffic will bear, dude. It’s called parlaying your talent and your abilities into wallet-padding. This is why I detest with a seething hatred all liberals: they are all envious property-snatching
    chittering monkeys foaming at the mouth that someone can actually do something that someone else would pay for, which is, to a liberal, evil, not a virtue. This is why I hate them. They are perversions of Nature, the Nature they all claim to be “saving.” Liberals are monstrosities that came through the transporter wrong. They are ugly, voracious thieves claiming to be the guardians of “morality” – the only word in their vocabulary – and which they define as “confiscation.” I have a problem with Limbaugh in that he is an intellectual lightweight, but at least I can listen to his remarks, 95% of them, without punching the radio. And if he went to another station that was out of range and I was that much of a fan I guess I would move. It’s called choice, stupid. And that’s another thing: the only time the liberals use the word “choice” is when they want to murder an infant. That’s their “choice.” It’s no wonder liberals push for legislation abolishing the emotion of hatred: they are the sewer rats of human existence not claiming to be a religion. Banning hatred is the only thing that will keep them safe.
