Why the United States is a Dying Country (Rush Limbaugh is now a pessimist. Here's why he's right)
American Thinker ^ | 04/10/2013 | Steve McCann

Posted on 04/10/2013 6:52:39 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Recently Rush Limbaugh opined that the United States is a dying country. For many years that reality has been painfully obvious to those of us who immigrated to the United States having experienced first-hand the suffering inherent in the near total destruction of a nation which inevitably occurs as the end-product of immorality, despotism and radical ideology.

This nation is repeating the disastrous evolutionary process that has plagued so many failed nations throughout mankind's history. This process begins with a society willing to reject the fundamental concept that is necessary for any nation to thrive and prosper: respect for the uniqueness of each individual and self-determination.

On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court validated abortion on demand (up to the point of so-called viability) regardless of circumstances. Many of my acquaintances celebrated this decision as a monumental advancement in women's and societal rights. I, on the other hand, was overcome with a sense of foreboding. I was appalled and openly stated that this nation had embarked on the road of demeaning and devaluing life which would lead to a society devoid of morality and integrity with the ultimate ascension into power those who would destroy this nation as founded.

My warnings fell on deaf ears as I was ridiculed and accused of being an anachronism as these things could never happen in the United States.

As there were few that shared my premonition, I could only watch over the past 40 years as the American people have sanctioned, through legal abortions, the death of over 54.5 million children. Once this disregard of human life took hold, the citizens of this nation were susceptible to wholesale changes within society.

The destruction of the Middle Class has been the goal and ending manufacturing has been a significant tool. I no longer care about the Corp Tax rate as it is only a burden if such Corp is not connected to the DC Mafia. I have also realized that ‘Free Trade’ is anything but free, it is just more crony fascism that benefits the NWO’s agenda.

I think someone might have been suggesting or implying a "not quite hypothetical" prospect of violence against certain persons, which as we all know is an uncool thing to do around here.

But that's just a guess, I wouldn't know for sure.

It’s just too easy to provoke you Limbaugh lovers.

Your post is such a target-rich environment that I’m overwhelmed—I’m going to go lie down for a while.

Who I, my family, and friends voted for in 2012 is none of your damn business.

Further, who I, my family, and friends voted for in 2012 does not preclude or disqualify me from offering my opinon.

RE :”“Rush???, The man who assured us that McCain would win in 2008 and Romney would win in 2012?”
.....
Do you have tape on that?

HA_HA, Rush is always RIGHT! Buy 24/7 and Life-lock NOW

Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh says that Sen. John McCain will score a stunning upset over Sen. Barack Obama and win the presidency on Nov. 4
[Rush] Limbaugh Predicts McCain Victory (NewsMax ^ | October 31, 2008 | David A. Patten, FR thread link )

I almost forgot this one :
We Could See a McCain Landslide (Rushlimbaugh.com, August 12, 2008)

“The enthusiasm that got people out in 2010, I'm seeing at every Mitt Romney rally. Romney's drawing crowds of 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 15,000. “The enthusiasm that we all saw in 2010 is there. The same issues that existed in 2010 exist today. There hasn't been anything that's gotten better.”

Ignore the polls saying Obama is winning Rush Limbaugh Says, Swing State Polls Are Bogus! (video posted 9/26/2012 )

Rush has a policy

He's a coward - he speaks plenty plus underhanded and surface - and it wasn't FOR NEWT or FOR America. Did you forget how he told his audience to vote for Hillary back then? So 'his' policy is as phoney as he is and HIS policy is about him and NOT AMERICA! Conservatives care about AMERICA - Rush cares about himself and what America can and has given him.

but at least he is honest about it and he has been consistent.

He is NOT HONEST! And that was 'the least' he could have done. Honesty speaks out against evil all the time - and is consistent in it, like Sarah, and let the chips fall where they may. Rush is consistent in taking care of his butt which has NOTHING to do with America - just what America can give him, a golden mike and a weak- kneed audience.

'Conservative talk' all these years - and the most important election - and 'his policy reigns' for him. It's not rocket science to see through his non-patriotic self - while implying himself as one. When so much was at stake, he preferred himself/his policy over America! So any patriotic talk from him is coming from his ea$y chair since he proved there is no action behind it.

Real men have given there LIVES FOR America and people have given their beloved ones FOR America while Rush clung to his golden mike and butt in an ea$y chair. Talk is CHEAP while he pulled in millions FROM America. So you can enjoy his CHEAP talk - it only cost AMERICA it's FREEDOM, jobs and LIVES with Romneycare,Jr, Obamacare, and that includes our VETERANS - who WALKED 'the talk', unlike Rush who was 'unable to do it' when the opportunity presented itself - . COWARD that he is - because he stood behind 'his' proven phoney 'policy' and his weak kneed audience 'understood' because the wimp and entertainer Rush had his self imposed yellow-belly 'shield of protection'.

But the elite are covered with their millions - so no skin off their nose. He's just a run of the mill weak-kneed elite who loves golf and time off like obama. With the elite it is always about them and their comforts and he is NO different. Only his 'talk' is seducing - just like obama's talk is seducing to others, as was romney's, with NO SUBSTANCE behind it! America has given them SO much/TOO much - and their 'give back to America' is CHEAP talk. Ungrateful pigs!

Lots of 'so called' conservatives (because conservatism $ells) fell and/or were exposed this election and he's no different. Drudge and loud mouth Ann Coulter are just some others. When things got tough, the mighty in their own eyes - fell or were exposed for the weak selves they are. Now some are scrambling to remain relevant with blowing more of their hot air. It's stale since there is no force behind it!

'My policy' is GOD, Family and AMERICA. Evil is against GOD and not speaking out against evil ALWAYS and not DELIBERATELY speaking FOR GOOD ALWAYS - more so when been given a golden mike - is not anyone I'm interested in. So what he's been given, the golden boy used for himself. Shame on him and his CHEAP talk.

"....From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48 Seems Rush failed that, also. He better grab the mike with both hands now. His bragging days are over. God will not be mocked. "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." Gal 6:7

So make sure you stay tuned, the failure might tell you to vote for Hillary, again. Oh wait, 'the golden boy' claims he doesn't do that - 'his' policy and all. Manipulation works and Rush uses it to 'his' advantage, just like the MSM, obama, romney and all those not coming from honesty. Rush brings his listeners up to a point - he's a full blown coward not to bring his listeners/voters beyond hi$ comfort level/'his' policy. After all, he needs his comfort bed that has a comfort level to suit himself.

True patriots don't need to tune him in - they already are 'in the know' and, unlike him, they have gone beyond their comfort level. His cowardliness is a stench to America.

That's not true.

The last candidate that I remember him supporting in the primaries was Buchanan.

Rush stopped supporting him when Buchanan criticized NAFTA and wouldn't support it and other trade policies that favored offshore production

Rush usually follows the talking points pretty well. He deviates occasionally to try and show his 'right' bona fides.

He's simply stating the truth. It sucks to admit that America is finished; but it is. Rush is simply giving us the unvarnished truth.

Rush is stating what ANYONE with a brain knew BEFORE this election! What may suck for you is to admit that Rush is finished and his yellow belly ways. He is no longer relevant - so he's simply projecting! And that is the unvarnished truth!

Stick a fork in us, we're done!

Rush is done and like all the elite who used America for their gain ONLY. When it was their turn to give back TO AMERICA, they failed because their comforts was too great to give up FOR AMERICA.

OK, he spends two of three hours each day for the next five years advocating bringing jobs back to the USA.

What happens to his empire?

Cool. I don’t follow Rush. Seems like a good guy. Although, your post would indicate a big no-go.

As go the Legions, so goes the Republic. No matter how the contest is constructed at the end of the day the military will choose which side wins.

The standing Army of the USA is so small it couldn't enforce marshal law in Florida let alone the ENTIRE USA. I was pro military until 0'Bastard took over, now the smaller the military gets the better.

It is not coming fast enough. I am aging out. I am getting to old for trench warfare or humping 50 pound rucksacks plus ammo.

Okay, so you've made it clear that you don't like Rush Limbaugh. So to whom would you have us radio listeners tune in? John McManus?

I'm not thinking of marshal law or control of the citizenry. I am speaking of support for the standing government. No one, left or right, will be able to form a government without the consent of the military. If the generals don't like the new govenment, they will snuff it out and start over, or (more likely) choose to run it themselves as an oligarchy. This precedent goes all the way back to Greco-Roman times.

A complication is that there will be an internal contest for control of the military that mirrors the wider contest for control of the government. I'm not smart enough to even speculate on which faction will win, but the winner will be the American kingmaker. You can bank on it.

I did mention in my post that I no longer listen to Rush or any talk show host. The point I was making is that they are irrelevant. What sucks for you is your apparent problem with reading comprehension.

Except that he didn’t do either of those two things.

I don’t mind constructive criticism of those who have spent decades articulating conservative principles to a wide audience. I do mind when people just make stuff up, as you just did.
