Liberals have their knickers all in a twist because Rush Limbaugh said that for the first time in his life he’s ashamed of his country. As far as I’m concerned he just expressed what so many of us are thinking. This is getting ridiculous. It’s one manufactured crisis after another. It’s tiring. It’s depressing. It’s immoral. And it’s unbelievable that Obama got reelected.
In case you missed it, here’s a snippet from Rush’s rant.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country. To be watching all of this, to be treated like this, to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it’s being insulted? It just makes me ashamed. Seriously, man. Here we get worked up over $44 billion. That’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year. In truth, we’re gonna spend more this year than we spent last year.
We’re just not gonna spend as much as was projected. It’s all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn’t. Yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here, fear there: Crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control. I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all this are over. We have the media playing along with all this. The ruling class of both parties play along with all this. It’s insulting. I don’t know how else to describe it.
Via The Blaze, here’s part of the audio.
And for you liberals screaming about patriotism, remember who it was who said for the first time in her adult life she was proud of her country.


@lonelycon I wondered what @secupp thought of his comments.

@lonelycon Better off thinking for yourself rather than letting Rush (or anyone else) do it for you.

Great post! Thanks for pointing out the horrible Ms. O’s statements. I heard Rush this morning; I certainly didn’t hear anything astonishing, and his language was pretty mild. He broadcast what millions of us are thinking these days: ashamed and embarrassed by Washington D.C. Because we the people PUT them there…

Because today is Washington’s birthday, I put out our flag, for the first time since the “election” of 11/6/12. I’m not so proud of the USA anymore, either.

God bless Rush. You’re right, Lonely, he just stated in front of a national audience what many of us are thinking. This President is an absolute disgrace to the office and we are paying a heavy price for the stupidity of many of our voters. If you can’t read and think clearly you really have no business in a voting booth.

I donated to the Romney campaign till it hurt and now that the election is over I feel like I am living among body snatchers.
Every time the Tea Party or Republican party call me now for additional donations I tell them both the same thing, until they grow a spine and bring impeachment proceeding against the sitting president they will not receive another red cent from me. Until they see we mean business and are willing to throw them in the trash heap of history nothing will happen. I say MAKE them earn their keep. They are worthless as our employees at this point and need a strongly worded memo from the people.

Rush is not correct with this allegation:
“Yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here, fear there: Crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control.”
No one has said this. This represents Rush’s typical penchant for hyperbolic exaggeration.
That said, with a continuously dysfunctional Congress, our national distress continues, hurting deeply the American middle and poor.
