Limbaugh's So 'Divisive' The Left Had To Make Up Lies About Him

Here is a tale of two sound bites. First: "Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Second: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.

"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'

"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."

The first quotation was attributed to Rush Limbaugh. He never said it. There is no tape of him saying it. There is no transcript of him saying it. After all, if he had done so at any point in the last 20 years, someone would surely have mentioned it at the time.

The only way we make progress in race relations is to allow people to truly express themselves and have frank dialog, and not impose self-censorship over fear losing one’s job.

And out of the resulting seeming disharmony, would actually come harmony. But they can't see it,so they try to achieve it in a way that cannot ever work.

Very good point, Eagle Eye.

So good, in fact, that I just might borrow it, giving you the credit, of course!

Mark Steyn......

Nuff Said?

No.

A man who is not even a natural born American has his act together more than just about anyone else who comes to mind.

Steyn always astounds.

He is simply, in a word, brilliant.

Lying is what the left does.

Remember reading about how the Nazis burned the Reichstag to blame tehir opponents? Given that the Nazi sympathizer Soros is one of Obama’s puppetmasters, and given that leftists like BO hve NO moral principles, if all else fails I fully expect them to organize violence so they can try to blame us and use it to clamp down on everyone.

I believe you are right about that. Some NRA members expect it to happen, and to have a wide ranging attack on second amendment rights as a result.

It is thought that new immigrants from Gaza,who Omama invited to theUSA as refugees,and who will have 2nd amendment rights to arm themselves, will be used to accomplish this.

Anita Dunn did the conservative movement a favor, by so openly professing her admiration for Mao to a group of very elite high school students.

St Andrew’s, Potomac, Md. $31,000 for high school, $29000 for middle school. Bus is extra. About 675 students total. Student teacher ratio 6:1. Just your average social justice school.

We must share her words with everyone we know who still think that Obama’s “hope and change” is a good thing. We must point out strenuously that these people are so convinced of their ‘mission’ that they are openly sharing it with the world.

Their ‘mission’ being to change our country into a socialist autocracy, like Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, etc.
