41 senators = filibuster. They say the ‘well has been poisoned’ no more working together .... if you believe the R’s can stand together like they did on HC they will stop everything.
Rush said he would have to go to Costa Rica to get his health care. He DID NOT say he would move out of the country.
I have started to listen regularly for about 9 months. There are some days he is so on fire brilliant that I think he should release his whole broadcast over the internet for citizens to listen to when they are able.
That is NOT what he said. That is what the MSM reported he said. I heard what he said. He said that if it passes, he will go to Costra Rica if he needs major medical procedures done.
He also said he will NOT purchase insurance. He will take them to court if they try to make him purchase it.
It's unconstitutional to force any citizen to purchase anything.
Absolutely not! Rush speculated that Doctors would move out of the Country, maybe to Costa Rico, so he could go there for health treatment.
Remember how many Hollywood loonies promised to move out of the country if Bush was elected? Know how many did? Zero.
Thanks (ALL) for clearing that up! I should have known he wouldn’t have said that.
It is not only about making the 20 million illegals citizens, but the 70 to 100 million more they can sponsor as legal immigrants thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification.
That sounds like what one of the Founding Fathers might say. I like your thinking!
I haven’t heard Rush like this in the 20 years I’ve been listening.
No, you are absolutely right. He is sounding more like some of the militia guys on shortwave fifteen years ago.
Said twice already in his first hour that he believes there may not be any more elections.
I told you all that these were communists on a mission over two years ago.
I was then called “extremist” and told to don my “tin foil hat.”
They will not stop this train.
We have NEVER had communists in power. Believe me when I say that most of you do not understand what you are witnessing right now. Their aim is to destroy the country and raise up a hard-left monstrosity.
There is only one way to stop them, and it has nothing to do with ballot boxes, “Tea Party” picnics, politicians, or lawyers...
You cannot rely on a system that doesn’t exist.
Most of you are operating under the assumption that your government is still there, still listening, still trying to support the constitution—IT ISN’T THERE ANYMORE!
We must rise up and fight them!
Go ahead, tell me communism is no threat, tell me I’m overreacting—time will show you that I understand what is happening to us. I grew up with Soviet defectors. I have studied subversion for over twenty years. They are right this very minute dismantling your system of government, and your way of life.
ALL on ObamaCare.
we share your anger & frustration. I never saw the times you were called names.. but when he was first elected I KNEW he was big trouble.. and the words you used were mine also.

Graham?
Voinovich?
Collins?
Snowe?
No they think the thread was cut. This country still has people like us who, honestly, will go down fighting. We have to, period.
When I listened to the rundown of deals made for yes votes in the final days, I LITERALLY wept for my country.
My wife and I were already discussing going Galt and last year bought a farm in central Kentucky. Well, after much discussion yesterday, and reflection on our existing plan, my first “actual” step was to do this: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2592437
Some will find the responses comical. It was expected and not relevant. Just as political leaders are quite aware there are many “children” in their constituency, I knew there were many children there. It still needs to be said, and many will reflect on it as the months and events directly before us unfold.
Our country entered a new age yesterday - even though it will certainly (assuming there is an ounce of character left in them) strike it down as unconstitutional. But we will all have to deal with it.
You thought a Social Security number was bad. ;)
No. He said he would go to Costa Rica to get health care.
Apparently there are US doctors setting up clinics there.
Bump to your post!
Calm Despair [John Derbyshire]
As the fugleman for conservative despair, I am of course neither shaken nor stirred at the passing of the health-care bills. It was to be expected.
I see plainly that Western civilization, over my lifetime, has been a slow-sinking ship. The few who have known what is happening have worked desperately to seal the watertight doors, repair the fissures, pump out the flooded zones. It’s been a losing fight, though. The tilt of the decks is harder and harder to ignore. Last night, a major bulkhead gave way. Soon a funnel will topple over with a great crash and a shower of sparks. Yet still the band is playing, the people are dancing, the food coming up from the galley.
Steven Hayward, writing about my latest in the Claremont Review of Books, says it is “surprising that Derbyshire never raises the obvious question: without the conservative movement of the past 50 years, how much worse would things be?” Not much, would be my answer. Certainly those working the pumps have been engaged in a noble endeavor, which I’m proud to have been associated with. They could hear the dance music too, though. It got their feet a-tapping; then an ex-colleague came down from the ballroom to mock and tempt, and soon there was one less pair of hands on the pumps, and one more government program, one more subsidy, one more tax, one more restraint on freedom of speech or association, one more futile war.
It’ll be over soon. We’ll be down in the cold, lightless depths of imperial despotism — in which, after all, the great majority of human beings, throughout history, have always lived. It’s the natural way: liberty is an unstable temporary aberration. I once tried to compute the sheer quantity, in man-years, of lives lived under the despotic order — Egyptians and Assyrians, Persians and Chinese, Romans and post-Alexander Greeks, Incas and Aztecs, Umayyads and Abbasids, Ottomans and Zulus, Tsars and General Secretaries . . . as against humans in liberty, ruled by common consent. It came out at around a hundred to one.
