I do not know if Rush made the announcement about Jeb! - but I am certain he knew of it prior to the Bush love fest soliloquy.
It has been news most of the day - and Rush hears these things way before it makes it out to the public.
I completely agree with you that W allowed the office to be demeaned with his misguided notion that he was upholding its honor. Combining that attitude with an absolute ignoramus of a press secretary plus the RINOs in Congress and you had the way paved for the Democrats taking back control and eventually for Obama to take power. Maybe it really has all been Bush's fault.
Right now President Camacho is looking pretty good.
Thank you for referencing that article Kaslin. As usual, please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Patriots, please bear in mind that the Founding States had drafted the federal Constitution in part to give the lion’s share of government power to serve the people to the states, not the federal government. This is evidenced by the long-forgotten 10th Amendment.
In fact, note that one of the very few powers that the states have actually constitutionally delegated to the feds to regulate an aspect of domestic policy is to regulate the U.S. Mail Service (1.8.7). In other words, most other federal government services are based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and associated state revenues, which the corrupt feds have stoled from the states by means of unconstitutional federal laws.
The bottom line concerning the unconstitutionally big federal government is this. If the states had stuck with the original plan for electing senators and presidents as enumerated in the Constitution, then most citizens would probably not even know, or care, who the current president is imo.
News Flash!!! Rush hasn’t endorsed anyone for your information. You rally should pay attention instead of blabbering such nonesense
My point was that the “Head of State” is a symbol of the country — and, just like the flag, is revered for that reason alone. It’s like saluting a military officer — you salute the rank, not the man in the uniform. The flip side of this is that the Head of State has to live up to the role — just as a military officer must follow a strict code of behaviour.
In Canada, we never “revere” the Prime Minister (or at least not for long, and never solely by virtue of the office they hold). OTOH, it seems that Americans are expected to “revere” the Office of the Presidency — regardless of how loathsome the incumbent may be. That (IMHO) is because the President is both Head of State (deserving of reverence as a symbol of the country) and the “Head of Government” (just another politician; who has to continually earn whatever respect comes their way).
I agree wholeheartedly. We sure don’t need another W. He really was a bad president, whom I had the highest hope for and voted for him TWICE!
His brother endorsed Cruz and Rush is used in Cruz’s radio ads. I’m sure it was with his permission.
I did not write that Rush endorsed anyone. Maybe your comment was intended for someone else? I was simply commenting on this transcript of Rush -- is he not saying that Trump doesn't have the reverence for the office of the president and the decorum? That out of presidents since Reagan, only the Bushes have?
Same with me. That is all the President is supposed to do. Stand for religious freedom.
That said, not Islam because it is a political system pretending religion. Heh, that is just my feeling about it.
A lot of what you say about GW rings true to me. He
says he ignored the criticisms and insults because he
so respected the office of POTUS. The truth is he owed
it to his supporters to fight back to some degree. When
the opposition continuously insults the man they are also
insulting those who support him. I will defend those
who cannot defend themselves. But, to HELL with those can
but won’t speak up on their own behalf. That is what I
took away from the 8 years of Bush.
I love that Trump defends himself although I am over some
of the middle school antics. I think the liberals have
pushed the entire culture in a sorrowful direction over
the past several decades and they need to be pushed back,
not helped along.
I heard Rush whining about this today. Ever since his embrace for Cruz I just can’t stand listening to Rush. He’s shown himself to be a phony. I still listen out of habit I guess.
We are a people whose college graduates are worse schooled. How many of today’s graduates could score 1300 or above on a 1962 GRE? More, who could write an essay of high quality for the 1940 college boards?
Rush and Krauthammer! The GOPe unites against Trump
Two if by tea!
They refer to the dolt Ogabe attending the indie-rock pot smoking fest in Austin SXSW - choomin’.
He would rather troll for dudes there than attend a State Funeral.
“Is a Thing of the Past”
So is El Rushbo
This isn’t exactly something they would call him and brag (or whatever) about. They could have let him know.
Can’t he see what the represents to us?
He must. It’s a cataclysmic moment. He should know it.
Exactly right!
instincts and breavery at one point, and nothing at other times.
I wonder sometimes if this family has it’s problems with premature births or some other malady. It’s just strange some of them.
Jeb this year was really a freaked out dude at time. It was hard to even identify with what he was thinking at times, it was so bazaar.
I refused to the first time. I saw it coming. Can’t brag about it, because I felt terrible there was nothing I could do to get someone else nominated instead of him.
My thought was always that he might make a great neighbor, but as a president, no.
