Coming from a deluded man who believes he is some kind of know-it-all that has a king fetish--your envy for strong principled people is childish grow up McCed

For anyone who is fascinated by politics - particularly those under 40 - you ought to take a listen to this. It's mostly about Nixon - who was (IMO) one of the most fascinating (I don't necessarily mean that in a positive way) people in 20th century America.

The Left is ALWAYS accusing us of HATE. But it's they who hate (isn't accusing your opponent of what you are doing an Alinsky tactic?) They hated Reagan. They hated the Bushes - particularly W.

And they ESPECIALLY hated Nixon.

Rush goes into the history of it, so I won't rehash it. It's stuff I already knew, but like I said if you don't know much about Nixon, you may find it interesting.

One point worth repeating, though. Nixon, who "earned" the Left's undying hatred for what he did in the 40's and the 50's, tried to "make up to them" when he became president in the late 60s - early 70s. The EPA, Wage and Price Controls, and other Leftist Wet Dreams - all were enacted under Nixon's watch.

But they still hated him.

Do you think there might be a lesson there - for our present day "go along to get along" buddies in the present day GOP?

Equating this debate (as limbaugh did), in the world's greatest deliberative body, as established under the U.S. Constitution, to the conditions which led men to take up arms against a tyrannical monarch is obnoxious.

The Founders fought against "taxation without representation".

What we've got under Obamacare is taxation by representation.

There are many, including this author, who questioned the strategy of Cruz and Lee. There are others in the GOP establishment who openly mocked them and joined in a media assault against them. It was certainly true that they had almost no chance to prevail. But, something unusual happened. What Cruz and Lee were able to do was focus the country's attention on ObamaCare for the past several weeks and, with Ted Cruz's pseudo-filibuster, provide a klieg light on the failings of ObamaCare, just as the public was starting to pay attention. They galvanized the grass-roots in a way that hasn't been seen for three years. Losing this battle, they set the stage for future victories.

Rush just ridiculed Tom Harkin (D-IA) for equating the debate surrounding ObamaCare to the conditions which led to the American Civil war.

Duh, Rush....just duh.

I think everyone can admit that Rush isn't "always right" after Sandra Fluke.

The Dems and Media were mad because Rush called Sandra Fluke exactly was she is a Political Prostitute

He was right her actions proved it

First off the war on women theme was used way before rush along with killing granny ect.. ect... it was and opportunity for the left to dust it off--they would have found a way regardless--Why do you think Nancy brought her there if she did not get the right reaction she would have brought more until someone said something

Boehner wouldn't even loudly defend Rush.

---

Boehner is a Political Chicken he can't take a principled stand on anything

And Obama could have committed murder on the House Floor and still get a pass

And yes Free Speech lost--when you see political prostitution and to point it out is wrong that's messed up

Free speech isn't lost. Anyone can throw around light profanity like a twelve year old. It isn't talent. It is shock value.
