Yes, where is our Churchill, indeed? I would love to see Sarah and West answer that call. I don’t think Christie is it.

That said, I have a comment about the 2nd caller. I am a woman and a lady, and I am just so disgusted with the way the term for testicles is just thrown around in conversation. It is especially disgusting when a woman, such as Rush’s 2nd caller here, does so. Whatever happened to words such as “courage” or “fortitude”. Why have so many on our side sunken into the gutter with the leftists.

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." "Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." -- Winston Churchill
I've read this before but didn't make the connection with why the Kenyan King got rid of the bust. Wow.

Agreed 1000%.........Christie may appeal to some but not to me. All I see when he opens his mouth is a fat guy with an attiude. His views on the Second Amendment and being “Pro Death” makes him “Persona Non Gratta” in my opinion and if he ran it would mean nothing to me.

Sarah or Allen West. Any of the other tired old has beens will just make me sit it out and let the chips fall where they may.

There’s a Churchill only once a century. In 1911 he was the new First Lord of the Admiralty, sort of the secretary of the Royal Navy. He didn’t become Prime Minister until 1940, and after the war he was turned out of office.

...after the war [Churchill] was turned out of office.

I believe that the British election that turned Churchill out of office occurred between the Nazi surrender and the Japanese surrender. So he was defeated (by a lefty Labourite) even before the hostilities were concluded.

But he did come back to serve as PM during the early 1950s.

We need a strong statesman to represent the GOP who can draw as clear a word picture describing the distinction between the collectivist/socialist policies of Obama and his minions and the foundations in individual enterprise which made America a land of opportunity, freedom, prosperity, plenty and a beacon of liberty for oppressed people all over the world.

The following statement by Churchill, upon leaving office as Prime Minister in 1945, was prophetic for Great Britain, and as it turns out, the United States and the world:

"I do not believe in the power of the State to plan and enforce. No matter how numerous are the committees they set up or the ever-growing hordes of officials they employ or the severity of the punishments they inflict or threaten, they can't approach the high level of internal economic production achieved under free enterprise. Personal initiative, competitive selection, and profit motive corrected by failure and the infinite processes of good housekeeping and personal ingenuity, these constitute the life of a free society. It is this vital creative impulse that I deeply fear the doctrines and policies of the socialist government has destroyed. Nothing that they can plan and order and rush around enforcing will take its place. They have broken the main spring and until we get a new one, the watch wil not go. Set the people free. Get out of the way and let them make the best of themselves. I am sure that this policy of equalizing misery and organizing society--instead of allowing diligence, self-interest and ingenuity to produce abundance--has only to be prolonged to kill this British Island stone dead."

I heard her and could actually feel her frustration. The frustration is increasing daily. Politicians are not going to hold public events much longer. They’ll be hunkered down in their bunkers six months from now.

The caller could have asked Rush: "Why don't you run Rush?"

Does anyone know the answer to that question?

How do you expect Allen West to "restore" the Constitution when he does not even understand it?

JUPITER — Toward the end of a 90-minute audience Q&A session at Tuesday night’s town hall meeting, U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, was asked by former Indian Trail Improvement District board member Christopher Karch whether President Obama is “legally there or not.”

“Who is going to tell us who this man is? Is he legally there or not?” said Karch. “What are we going to do to ensure that, if he isn’t legally there, it doesn’t happen again?”

Said West: “I will tell you this: That is the dog chasing its tail. The most important thing is, it’s the policies. That’s what we have to be standing on.”

The crowd of about 400 applauded, but Karch wasn’t satisfied.

“But if he’s not, it’s treason,” Karch said.

Said West: “You will waste more time worrying yourself to death about that instead of making sure that you expand the majority in the House of Representatives, you win back the U.S. Senate so that you can stand against the policies that are emanating out of the White House… “What is your objective? Your objective is getting back to a constitutional republic principles and values. If you spend your time worrying about someone’s citizenship, you will never get to that objective.”

West didn’t offer his own opinion on Obama’s citizenship during the public forum. So PostOnPolitics asked him after the meeting.

“He is a citizen. He’s the president. I mean, that’s all I know. I am concerned about his policies,” West said.

West is reading from the establishment RNC talking points. They've decided not to go up against the racial extortion that would be heaped upon them if they push the eligibility issue. Notice how they all carefully avoid uttering the dreaded words "natural born Citizen".

They all know Obama is not eligible.

The ironic part is that West is immune from the leftist war cry: "Hating on a black man!"

I see nothing wrong with that statement at all. You assess your strengths and weaknesses, and pick your battles; West has chosen the more important one.

it has my vote. if you nominated it for the dumbest post of the year, I would still vote for it.Also, as much as I hate and am pained to see it, and hate to have to admit it, I peronally believe that obama will be re-elected.

Why? Because by 2912, there will be more parasites than producers. And the parasites are not going to vote to take away their gravy train. Additionally, another poster took me to task for critizing the "moderates". Because, in their opiniom, "moderates" control elections. If that is the case, we are sunk again.

Why?"Moderates" have no principles, lotalty, or core beliefs. Their loyalty goes to who pays them the most at their moment. The other side pays them more, their coat turns. They cannot be persuaded, only bought. And history has shown that like all other traitors, they sell their souls very cheap.

It's hard not to buy in to the MSM mantra that Bambi is unbeatable.

I don't buy it one bit. Gas over $4/gallon, unemployment stuck at a high level, a devaluing dollar, an incoherent foreign policy that broadcasts US weakness, the unpopularity of Obamacare, these (and more) all add up to a resounding defeat (unfortunately closer than it should be, but a defeat nonetheless).

We need to work hard to get rid of the bugger that has brought us the Carter effect on steroids......

Rush has always said he won’t run because he’d raise too much hell and besides, he’d take a huge pay cut.

Sheer frustration. I don't talk that way myself either, but I have - from time to time - used inappropriate language when disappointed and irritated beyond words with our GOP's lack of courage and conviction.

And if you are using such words when you are not in mixed company, I would not fault you. And I always say that if someone tried to mug me, my ladylike demeanor would go right out the window.

But, for heaven’s sake, when a person is calling a radio show and is being heard by millions of people we are talking about a whole different situation. And, of course, she had plenty of time on hold to gather her thoughts and to think about how she would phrase them.
