Excuse me, but the American taxpayers money should not be used for debating what a radio talk host says on the air!

I am not judging anyone sir - I don't have that power.

But don't you dare tell me I don't have the right to discern good versus evil. Furthermore, I have the right (given by God Himself) of reading His word.

So do you.

Ignore it at your own peril.

Will there be a lot of people in Hell? Yes.

Christ foretold this.

Is this because God wants this?

No.

People go to Hell because they choose to go there.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to Hell, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to Life, and only a few find it."

Matthew: 13-14

"How dare he attack our soldiers. How dare he impugn their integrity. How dare he attack their credibility. There is no place in America for anyone to attack our soldiers while they are fighting in combat or when they have come home. I don't care what the reason, Mr. Speaker."

Where was the outrage when Murtha, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, et al impugned the honor and integrity of our soldiers time after time after time? What a bunch of phony BS from a bunch of phony patriots. They can leave my country anytime and don't let the door hit them on their backside on their way out. I'll even help them pack.

Also, I love the movie "Army of Darkness" (from where you get your screen name).

I wish we could be so casual about evil, and make such levity of it, but we can't in real life.

Evil isn't funny. It is not some actor dressed up in a costume and makeup.

Evil is a dirty old man who molests a little boy. Evil a cult like Islam that teaches people to blow themselves up so they can get a "ticket to heaven."

You threw out the famous "Do not judge" straw man.

Do you know what it means?

What does the Bible mean that we are not to judge others?

I was about to point that out until I saw your post, Minn. dragnet2, if you think Rush was parroting “the White House” in the early ‘90s ... Well, you ought to be draggin’ that net over at DU ...

Sometimes in the mid 90s Rush started sounding like he was brodcasting form the White House basement.

The Clinton White House basement. You are full of it, my friend.

No, not that basement. Yes, my dates were a little off...It basically started after he spent the night at the White House, you remember, I'll let you dig up the date figure out who the WH occupant was.

Fact is, in the years following that, Limbaugh sounded as though he was on the government payroll. It really chaffed my hide, and no doubt many others.

He became a political insider, and basically a party hack.

I have no time for insiders regardless of which party they sell for.

You knew what I meant, but thought I tell ya anyway.

You were completely wrong, and your rationalizations don’t make you right, in the least.

Sheesh.

Give it up.

“People go to Hell because they choose to go there.’

I prefer not to go through life looking at humanity and believing that the vast majority are going to eternally suffer for not believing the same as me or holding a specific belief out of the worlds thousands of beliefs.

Hulluva belief you got there. Good luck with that but no thanks.

Rush owes all you hypocritical liars a major ass kicking.

I'm going to enjoy every minute of his delivery of it.

So, whose radio show do you listen to nowadays? Alex Jones?

"You are watching an entire political party willing to lie to silence dissenting voices. And the republican party does not understand or is afraid to say what is at stake."

It's not just an entire political party....... but the entire "mainstream" media echo chamber as well. They've all circled the wagons around this big lie. Rush Limbaugh is the biggest obstacle in their path to complete control of the information highway. They'll stop at nothing to try and take him down. If they succeed, the game is all but over.

You’re a Christian. Maybe I should use quotation marks. I am a Christ follower. I have had a belly full of Christians such as yourself.

Give me a belly full then and tell me what I am saying is not Biblical.

If you want to fault me for not having patience, sometimes being unkind, or occasionally failing to sin, then I plead guilty.

So can you - for we are all sinners. If you yourself are a Christian, you know that. Tell me - did John the Baptist sin when he told the truth with strength, a loud voice, and a mighty spirit? Certain Jewish leaders of the time thought so.

What is your judgment of the prophet Elijah when he mocked the hordes who followed the 'god' Baal. Do you know that story? He threw down a challenge to the people of Israel - your god Baal and my God Jehovah - right here, right now!

When Baal could not start a fire, Elijah mocked them:

"Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened" (1 Kings 18:27).

The word for "busy" means going to the bathroom in Hebrew.

More forceful than what I said, isn't it?

But you Calvary John, you have the power and the wisdom to put any Christian you want in "quotes."

Congratulations.

I do not have that power myself.

TWO BIG lessons I learned from the Rush episode:

Anyone who dares say the media is not Liberal, this is the event to point them too. The old media would not have put up with Harry Reed straight-faced, PLAYING THEM AS SUCKERS lying to them.

And second, if people EVER ask "why can't we all just get along" ...THIS is why. The Dems condone outright LYING, not "twisting words" or "looking at something with a different perspective" but outright, black and white, LYING!

A very eye-opening event indeed.

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

As I stated yesterday, Mr. Isreal is nothing but a no good son of a b**** and an a**hole.

Those who live in his legislative ought be very ashamed and embarrased to have him as a "representative" in Congress.

Mr. Isreal belongs in an orange jumpsuit, not in Washington.

Regards.....

I was listening to Allen Colmes last night on Hannity and Colmes and wanted to reach through my t.v., grab his neck, and squeeze. He was making comments to Oliver North on how he (North) was being a hypocrite by not condemning comments made by Republicans while condemning those make by demoncrats with respect to this issue of phony soldiers. It was like listening to one of my children saying “well, he did it too” to try and justify the bad behavior of someone Colmes likes. I hope I never meet him in person. I will not be responsible for my actions.

I said MOST Republicans, not all. You can add Jack Kingston to the list of those not hiding. Somehow, the handful that have not run, but stood up for Rush, those not afraid to confront the BIG LIE, are pretty small in number which I suspect does not bode well for the outcome of this.
