Take that, Valerie Jarrett and the Obama Administration! Fox is not biased. Jeesh!
There are a few things I'd like to take him to task for. Some things he said on the program. You can watch it all in video parts here. Obviously, anytime Rush Limbaugh opens that vile mouth of his, I want to take him to respond and close it for him. The two biggest statements, though, are the ones we'll be discussing.
Statement One: "It was Barack Obama and the Democratic Party which actively sought the defeat of the U.S. military.
While Rush was questioning President Obama's ability to lead as the Commander-In-Chief and his commitment to the US Troops, he stated this little sliver of ideological hate. In his opinion, the Democratic attempt during the Bush Error to end the unnecessary War in Iraq was our attempt at destroying the military and giving victory to "the terrorists."
Please! It has been obvious since the very beginning of the war that Iraq posed no threat to us. It was the lack of a connection between Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden, the elusive WMD, and the dire number of world citizens dying due to the campaign that pushed the Democrats to do something. In fact, it was the Democrats that tried to save the military. We wanted our men and women out of harm's way so that their services could be used when necessary, to keep us safe, and when all other options were exhausted. Some will lead you to believe that is an illustration of
Statement 2: "We've never seen such a radical at this level of power...this is just outrageous what's been happening, the denial of liberty, the attack on freedom..."
First of all, the idea that President Obama is a radical is completely ridiculous. He is center-left at best, especially on the economy. A third of the rather modest recovery act that was passed earlier this year was tax cuts. A radical would have raised taxes! We need to realize that the act itself was much less Progressive than what we were told, unfortunately.
The most "radical" president we've ever had was during the Great Depression. President Roosevelt was a "liberal," seen by many Democratic Socialists as the best leader we've ever had in the Oval Office, along with much of the country, and is generally seen as one of the top three leaders we've ever seen. While he was in power, the government spent more as a percentage of GDP than the present Administration. He helped lift us out of the Great Depression. So, hey. Maybe Progressives can do something right!
As for what Rush said about the denial of liberty and the attacks on freedom, the only thing I have to say to him is this: the PATRIOT ACT, the thing you have supported. Twice.
For a bit of irony, Rush Limbaugh called President Obama's ego "out of this world." Yeah, Rush. But it hasn't reached you yet...you're still God.
