>>What’s Rush’s take on borders, language, and culture?<<

I agree with ozzymandus. Why don’t you listen to the show and find out? It seems a reasonable approach to me.

>>I know exactly who Rush Limbaugh is. Settle down.<<

If you know exactly who Rush is, then your question was pointless.

Just checked Drudge, and it confirmed for me that this whole thing is a non-story. No mention of Rush dissing the troops!

He’s blaming the messenger using “Michael Savage’s” (not his real name) standard phrase. Mike has it in for Rush.

Rush has said on several occasions he knows at least one 'Conservative' host who is actually a hard core liberal who is acting like what he thinks a Conservative is because it pays more.. hmmm... I wonder who that possibly could be?

If it is in italics, that generally indicates I was quoting someone else, but listen to Savage sometimes, he talks worse about Rush than he does illegals at times.

To answer your question, I'll quote Limbaugh's Laws of Immigration from a show a while back:

First, if you immigrate to the United States of America, you must speak the native language. You have to be a professional or an investor. [America is] not going to take unskilled workers…There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, no government business will be conducted in your native language. Foreigners will not have the right to vote…nor will they ever be allowed to hold political office. According to the Limbaugh Laws, if you're in our country, you cannot be a burden to taxpayers. You are not entitled, ever, to welfare, to food stamps, or other government goodies. You can come if you invest here, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage. If you don't know have that amount of money, you can't come and invest. You have to stay home. If you do come and you want to buy land, okay, but we're going to restrict your options. You will not be allowed to buy waterfront property in the United States. That will be reserved for citizens naturally born in this country.”

“In fact, as a foreigner, you must relinquish individual rights to property… Another thing. You don't have the right to protest when you come here. You're allowed no demonstrations, you cannot wave a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, or you get sent home. You're a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out, and if you come here illegally, you go straight to jail and we're going to hunt you down 'til we find you.”

That's because it shouldn't need to be explained to you.

The Democrats, who SHOULD BE criticizing the people who defame our troops,

have decided, instead, to condemn

Rush Limbaugh, who HAS BEEN criticizing the people who defame our troops.


The folks on the Left are worse than useless.... they actually hinder useful work.

House Democrats are apparently considering a resolution to castigate Rush Limbaugh for having the nerve to allege that there are ‘phony soldiers’ bragging about their exploits in Iraq. As long as they’re at it, perhaps they’ll actually denounce the phony soldiers. Fact is, there are thousands of ‘phony soldiers’ nationwide; the problem is so great that Congress passed legislation to crack down on the epidemic. Jesse MacBeth is just the tip of the iceberg.

Publications like the Army Times and Navy Times have written about phony veterans many times. A sample:

Justice Department officials in Washington state detailed Porter’s story, along with seven other people accused of — or already convicted of — being military frauds, during a news conference Friday on VA fakers.

“We take it seriously because this money is meant for veterans, not for fakers,” James O’Neill, assistant inspector general for the VA’s office of investigations, told Military Times.

“Every dollar that’s lost to a faker is one more dollar that can’t be spent on a veteran,” said O’Neill, whose office is responsible for rooting out those who defraud VA.

IIRC, there was even a freeper who claimed to be a vet or Ranger and was found to be a fraud. These phonies are everywhere!
