Limbaugh passed away

[MDlaxfan76]

A lot may be explained by recognizing which posters excused Rush's behavior, heck thought he was someone to be admired and respected, who deny that he was a racist....big part of the country is in that camp.

it's true. But when Trump, as an example, says, I'm the least racist person in this room (and he means it), it's hard not to say, Are you sure?

Some are quite 'triggered' by any challenge.

And some cannot ever admit they are wrong, the world works both ways!

Welcome back, Joe.

Conservatives should have stuck with the Lincoln Project boyz.

If you actually wanted Conservative Policies moving the country forward instead of 20 years of "hey, let's stick it to the libs on twitter"?

Yep. I find it telling that you think that a conservative group that dares to point out that Trump's policies weren't conservative.... is bad.

How are Trump's voters doing OS? Four years, and not a single police that helped them in any meaningful sense. They're economically drowning, and you know it. Rush is an ENORMOUS part of the reason why.

But sure. Go ahead and double down and ignore that, while all my "coastal elite" lib friends that Rush mocked so much take increasingly expensive vacations every year. TrumpVoters are going to continue to get played, while the Ted Cruz's of the GOP take vacations to Mexico during a national emergency in the State he represents.

Twitter would have banned them. Trump's base are what used to be Reagan Dems. Buckley's GOP blue bloods accepted them to win & because they agreed on social issues.

Anyone who's drowning is because of the pandemic. The Dems don't have any policies to prevent it either.
Before the pandemic, the economy was roaring & everyone was doing better. Things were improving.
You can't undo 3 decades in 3 years, but you can start turning the ship around.

Yep. You're 100% right. Hence the post Obama "Trump's forgotten voter", remember?

Before the pandemic, the economy was roaring & everyone was doing better. Things were improving.

Yes. Borrowing Three Trillion dollars on the Federal government's credit card, and shipping it to non-productive States will do that. Making the Federal Government bigger than ever will do that. Your team is SUPPOSED to not like that stuff, remember?

We've discussed this. Your team thinks that borrowing money is the same thing as getting a raise. What's the ACTUAL policy besides "borrow more money, and pretend like that's the same thing as an improved economy via actual GDP increases?

And what happens to Trump's base if we cut even a little of that borrowed spending?

You can't undo 3 decades in 3 years, but you can start turning the ship around.

Yeah, except that's not what Trump did,OS, and you know it. Trump simply increased the speed of the ship. He didn't turn the ship AT ALL.

Know where our payments on interest are for 2021, OS? We paid $523 Billion on interest payments for our Treasury Securities in 2020. That number is about to surpass what we blow on defense. That sound like things are just goin' great?

non-productive states ? Monetizing social media & manipulating other peoples money is "productive".

non-productive states ? Monetizing social media & manipulating other peoples money is "productive".

According to the free market that your team of Republicans believes in? You bet it is.

You just showed the ENTIRE problem that your Republican party can't change, and it's why they do NOTHING to fix these economic problem.....

And that is: without government interference? The labor value of the average Trump voter is lower than where it is right now. And you can't dance your way out of that reality. You can't fix these problems without Federal government intervention.

And THAT is why the Republican party has been stuck for 4 decades. And THAT is why they keep borrowing money to hide this unfixable problem. Unfixable in the sense that smaller government can't hide the low value of an unskilled American worker.

In your all-or-nothing logic, there's no balance between totally unregulated capitalism & Communism.

The Chinese are kicking our ass because they've combined totalitarian governance with state controlled industry.
There was a time when the US govt protected both workers & business owners, then we sold out to the globalists 3 decades ago.
They now own both parties. The top tier continues to prosper while the rest fall further behind.

Your team is the one telling us taxes are bad.

Your team in the one telling us Government is evil.

Your team is the one telling us socialism is evil.

Your team is the one telling us free markets, deregulation, and minimal government is best.

That's on you and your vote, my man.

And who's the guy who claimed that Trump appealed to the Trump's forgotten economic voter? And now, how much further behind is that voter after four years of TrumpPolicies? Miles behind.

The GOP has been doing the exact opposite of what you admire in your first paragraph for over 40 years, OS.

The Dems joined in on that fun post Clinton.

Bernie has been ADVOCATING your first paragraph his entire career. You're touting a very liberal policy, my man.

The damage began in the '90's with NAFTA & granting most favored nation status to China.

You see things only in extremes. It need not be as radical as Bernie. Just EU & Japanese style of protectionism.

judge others lest not ye be judged yourself. How much of your money have you donated to help cure childhood cancer? Are you into the 10s of millions of dollars yet? That racist pig has probably help save the lives of countless children of all colors and nationalities. When it comes to compassion and actually putting your money where your mouth is Mr Snitch. So TELL us what YOU have done to save the lives of children stricken with cancer? I admire and respect Mr Limbaugh not because I am in any camp. He has supported a cause with his own money to help save children. So how many millions have you dug out of your own pocket to help children be cured from their cancer? If Limbaugh was the racist you portray him to be we sure could use more racists like that. What are our other options? Pathetic, whining little republican snitches like you? I hope i am not "bullying" you. I would never want to hurt your sensitive little feelings.

https://www.foxnews.com/health/rush-lim ... usin-rusby

So Rush Limbaugh raised over 50 million dollars there MD to help cure childhood cancer. Millions of that was his own money. i bet the money continues on after his death. You willing to share with us how much of YOUR hard earned money you donate to people in need? Or do you just judge other people you dislike from the ivory tower of FLP republican idealism you squat upon and pass judgement from?

How did we go from your initial post on this thread to here?

[Farfromgeneva]

This is news that should bring joy and happiness to many folks on this forum.

[Farfromgeneva]

Limbaugh did not invent modern conservatism, but he hatched the dominant way of selling it: by harnessing operatic illogic and cruelty into a tribal bonding mechanism. From 1988 to 2021, on radio stations everywhere, Limbaugh spewed paleoconservative cant and nonsense, unfalsifiable antediluvian theories rooted in a relentless mockery and vilification of the other. He was forever warning his listeners of the homegrown pinko threat posed by liberals, intellectuals, journalists, environmentalists, feminists, and the sorts of suspicious souls who got their news from credible sources rather than shows like his.[/i]

Been saying it for years. Imagine how glorious the American Conservative movement would be if Limbaugh had chosen a different format for his show

Instead of spending all his time on "the libs are bad"? He could have banned the word "Dem" or "Lib" from his airwaves, and spent his entire time discussing the positives of Conservative theories of Governance, and touting Conservative laws and Conservative candidates. Picture that.

He would have left America in a better place than he arrived. What did he do instead? He peddled fear, xenophobia, and hate of "the other". He's the center of the destruction of the Republican party. Tin foil hats over reasonable spending, and paying America's bills on time.

Sad.

Right. His daily radio show would have been as popular with the proletariat as William Buckley's Firing Line.
Advertisers would have flocked to AM radio.

You win today's ggaslamp award.

Yeah who wants thoughtfulness and intellect when you can have populism, fear mongering and retardation!

Hmmm, when the USSR combined totalitarian governance with state-controlled industries, there were endless lines for food while the only Russian manufactured goods exported outside of the Eastern bloc were weapons.
