Limbaugh: "This president has delivered PEACE and PROSPERITY..."
"There are TWO factors that determine the success of a president...PEACE and PROSPERITY. This president has delivered PEACE and PROSPERITY."

"If this president's initials were B.C., the ECONOMY would be the NEWS OF THEY YEAR. Our economy is ROARING!"

"YES, we are fighting a WAR, but WE are not fighting it HERE, the MILITARY is fighting it"

:tinfoilhat:

No link. This came straight from the horse's mouth (his radio show, on now. He just made these remarks).

12. All direct quotes, part of a rant as he went to commercial...
...he also said that the only thing people want to talk about is Bush "leaking," and he said "Sorry...I'm not going to PLAY that game"...

4. Peace for some, prosperity for some. See, for prior
presidents, it was presumed that the nation was all in it together, peace wise, prosperity wise.

Now, Rush presumes that it's delivering peace TO YOU by making someone else go, delivering prospertity TO YOU, and the good of the nation, well, not on the radar screen.

6. It's more of a plaintive wail than a roar...9.2 trillion in debt.
Only a self-delusional drug-addict could think of the economy as booming...I guess if you have a lot of Energy stocks in your portfolio, it's the heady days of wine and roses...

I could do that easily enough. Hell, I could get 10% GDP growth.

10. Leon Russell tells us about NeoCons who just can't seem to see the truth
Even when reality bites them in the butt, some people are just too stupid to learn. Leon teaches:
Ballad for a Soldier - Leon Russell

When I was just a young boy I played with swords and guns
And I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier
And kill all of the enemy, my country 'tis of thee
I sing this anthem sadly, won't you hear me

I watched the cannons blazing on the gaint silver screen
The swastikas were burning and the hero was me
The general gave the order, gladly I obeyed
But the movie faded quickly all at once today

And now I stand alone with the charges made
No where to run, not a place to hide
We're sad little children playing grown-up games
Guess the time has come, the damage has been done

Stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
Cause they learn too slow to get the message
Just like the Indians in the early days
Battles lost and won, yet it still goes on
It's just another ballad for a soldier


I had no understanding 'till I saw my mother cry
When they told how many babies I had killed that night
A dozen color photographs inside a magazine
Told the morbid story like a movie screen

But I was not the hero I thought myself to be
Movies are much different from reality
The general was convicted to get off of the hook
But the President might free me for the chance I took

And we all stand alone when the charge is made
Sad way to live, what a way to die
We're all little children playing grown-up games
Can we burn the gun, before the next time comes

Stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
They move too slow to get the message
Wake up and win that's all I have to say
We haven't really won 'till all the fightings done
And there are no more ballads for the soldiers

30. Good poem. Proving that the cycle keeps going on and
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 12:54 PM by 0007
nothing indeed changes. Shelley my favorite poet sez this in the last stanza of his poem, "The Cloud" I fell in love with this poem years ago and committed it to memory.

I am the daughter of earth and water,
And the nursling of the sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change but I cannot die.
For after the rain, when, with never a stain,
The pavilion of heaven is bare,
And the winds and sunbeams, with their convex gleams,
Build up the blue dome of air,
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again.

13. He's still deaf
Yesterday he lost track of a caller who was really giving the Republicans hell. He told her his transcriber was down and the last thing he heard her say was she was unhappy with the GOP. He uses a machine that types what callers say because he can't hear them.

A repuke friend just gave me that same line earlier today, along with "we have peace over here because we're fighting them over there". Almost the exact same crap that Fat Boy is saying.

24. Let me get this straight: If you are not fighting a civil war....
in this country, you have "peace"?

Wow.

Also, Rush, prosperity doesn't mean GDP growth. I don't eat GDP. It's all about delivering the greatest good to the greatest number of people and that clearly has not happened. The basic goal in economics is to deliver the greatest good possible to the greatest number of people possible. That obviously has not happened.

35. Damn shame that lying doesn't hurt the liar.
Suppose lying did some physical damage like, say, really heavy drinking does. Rush would have died a long time ago.

...OR...

Suppose there were penalties for lying when it seriously misleads the public. Wait. Shouldn't there be penalties for that?

42. WTF? Peace? PEACE? * himself keeps saying "I'm a war president!"
So, which is it? Oh, that's right, per Orwell, war IS peace.

As for the economy, yeah, it's terrific if you're the CEO of a bloated, war-profiteering corporation. Otherwise, the rest of us peons are out there paying $3.00+ for a gallon of gas, our heating and electric bills are through the roof, and our health insurance (if available) doesn't cover shit.

Rush, I really, really, really loathe you! :grr: :mad: :nuke:

Because he's gone completely round the bend.

I honestly think he can't understand that just b/c things are great for HIM, doesn't mean things are even tolerable for millions of others. He is not just suffering from narcissism, he's crippled by narcissism.
