Given the replys to democrats and independents from some here I felt obligated to post this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If this had been an inner city kid or a poor rural child Rush and all the ditto heads would have screamed "lock him up and throw away the key".

"All this liberal goody two shoe crap causes problems so lock the losers up and throw away the key." That would be Rushies quote had it been a Democrat or an Independent with the goods.

If 100% of all dittoheads do not demand jail time for their Idol Rushie boy, they prove that they are nothing but empty headed charlatans. With the money Rush Limbaugh has, he could have sought treatment years ago but he did not. That means he has been illegally buying a controlled substance for years. He should be convicted of a felony and treated as such.

With all the self rightous horse crud that he has spewed across the airwaves over the last 15 years he should get the very maximum sentence allowed by law. After all he thinks an example should be made of any 15 or 16 year old who is caught with a can of beer or a joint.

I expect all the usual hard right fanatics to call me names and explain why I am an idiot for wanting R.L. to go to jail. So here is the reply in advance: Your boy Rush is a criminal, nothing more nothing less. He knew the laws. He could have sought treatment before he was caught but he did not. He thought he could continue to get away with it but he was wrong. Now he wants to say "Oh woe is me, its not my fault please feel sorry for me."

It's too late, take your own prescription Rushie baby and as far as I am concerned I hope you choke on it.

Maybe they will lock him up with a horny fella named Bubba Bob who has been too long away from his sheep. That kind of thought usually makes the dittoheads in this part of the country giggle with delight when it is someone they don't know.

Well?

Yes?

Or as Rushie would put it: Harrumph!

Damn, so you’re a Rush fan, who’d thought???

Anyway, I did hear some of it on the news and no where did the man state or ask anyone to feel sorry for him. Must be a bit of that liberal bias slipping out huh? I have made a few statements about it. By the way, where did you stand as far as President Clinton and some of his illegal activities? Breaking the law is breaking the law is it not? Or is it?

Here are some of the things Rush did state that you would NEVER hear a liberal state:

”I am addicted to prescription drugs and I am NOT a VICTIM”
“No one should look at me like a role model for seeking treatment for my addiction.”
“No one is to blame but me myself”
“I assume full responsibility for my actions”

Don’t bother answering because there is not one liberal that would ever utter those words above.

As far as you stating he should go to jail I would ask why? It is illegal to be addicted to prescription drugs? I think you’re liberal bias is jumping why ahead of you. That’s what happens with you people. Never take the time to listen and actually follow events to see what the outcome is, rather you all jump right in and assume the outcome. Why do you think there are so many failed liberal programs to begin with?

Let’s look at the current situation like us conservatives do which is to see what is known and in front of us and NOT jump to conclusions.

First, we now know that Rush has admitted to being addicted to prescription drugs. We do not know any more information at this time, unless you have someone behind the scenes feeding you information from an investigation.

One could assume that from the little information that perhaps the rest of the story is true, however assuming can bite you in the *** at times.

Now, where do I stand? Well, IF things prove out that the story is indeed true and that Rush has been illegally buying prescription drugs (at which point it makes no difference to me if they are prescription or street drugs, it’s no longer “prescription” if someone is not getting them because a doctor prescribed them) continuing, if things prove out that he indeed was doing this illegally then he should have to do the time in jail that any other ordinary citizen would have to do…

 

RUSH IS JUST ANOTHER JUNKIE.LETS SEE WHATS THAT HE SAID WHEN JERRY GARCIA LEFT US , SOMETHING LIKE JUST ANOTHER DOPE HEAD. I HOPE THE BASTARD DIES FROM WITHDRAW FRIGGIN PHONY *** HOLE!!!!

 

Welcome to F150online, great first post…

Oh, by the way we are not deaf, so no need to yell…

 

If, Rush were honorable, instead of hypocritical, he would have sought treatment years ago. That he is coming out now and accepting responsibility has everything to do with finally getting caught. The comments 01 XLT quoted are in fact his attempt at exacting simpathy, not his acceptance of responsibility. It's a lot easier to feel sorry for someone when they admit they made a mistake, and he knows this. He hopes that by making these statements that the courts will be lenient and his mindless sheep will forgive him.

My take on this is that, Rush is getting exactly what he wanted and deserves for calling the kettle black for the past 15 years. He should have been looking in the mirror, rather than projecting his self loathing onto society.

Being addicted to prescription pain killers in and of itself is not patently illegal. However, purchasing the presciption drugs from a drug dealer on the street, or paying someone else to do it for you clearly is. The issue of the investigation is not that, Rush is a drug addict. But that sent his housekeepr out into the steets to buy these drugs illegally, for him.

If you think that the only thing that has happened is that he admitted to being a drug addict, you haven't been paying attention. A search warrant was served on his property and I'll bet they found a major stash of illegally purchased prescription drugs. His drug pocession is the issue.

I think that he more than anyone deserves prison time for his behavior. Not necessarily because he broke the law, but because he clearly needs some lessons in humility. Let's see how he feels about crime and punishment when he learns about it first hand. That he would spend the past 15 years talking about being tough on criminals, he should get exactly what he's been asking for.

I think his little predicament brings up a very important psychology lesson also. People tend to lash out at what they feel most uncomfortable or insecure about in themselves. I think it is now clear that, Rush was so critcal of Clinton not because of his policies but because he was jealous of how women adored him and how successful and happy Americans could be under a democratic president

**** the mother****er He's getting what he deserves.

 

Aj, man you're walkin' on some toes with your comments my friend. First, if you want Rush (or anyone else for that matter) to be punished appropriately for their crimes, it's up to you and me and the rest of the populus to change the current legal system. If Robert Downey can be arrested for drug possession/abuse (cocaine & heroin) 4 or 5 times before he gets one day in jail (forget the court mandated rehab sessions), then I don't think it's even in the realm of reality that Rush (or anyone else) should serve jail time. Blowhards like Rush aren't the problem, you and I are if we don't wake up and change the game. And as for your comments about Rush and Clinton, they're just silly. I, as many others, was not happy as you put it under Clinton, not because he was such a ladies man, but because he was devoid of any moral and ethical standards. He was a wonderful public speaker, but true pond scum at his core. And just to make sure your clear on one thing, I'm a registered independent, so my opinion of Clinton isn't a party line thing.

I thought all true liberals practiced compassion towards everyone, humans, animals, trees, environment etc. This just shows what kind of hypocrites liberals really are and goes to the points I make time and time again ”liberals NEVER believe in what they preach, and only believe in what they preach for themselves and anyone that agrees with them”

It is liberals or those that think like liberals that have made crime rates so high in America because they ALWAYS practice and preach that ”it is not the persons fault or responsibility for what they did but rather someone else’s”.

So why so harsh on Rush? It’s not his fault he is not responsible and he deserves help and hand out from society because it is society that made Rush do what he did, not Rush. Just like with Clinton, Clinton was not responsible for his questionable actions or any laws he broke because ”everyone does it, so what’s the big deal that Clinton did it”

If you liberals out there EVERY want anyone to take you serious you need to maintain creditability by following the advice you people always spew into society. Therefore you people should be running to Rush’s aid, telling Americans it is not Rush’s fault but society and that we need some NEW program to help people like Rush.

Clinton was a ladies man because he had power, just like anyone else that has power or money has women who adore them. You could be the wordlist ugliest man and as long as you have power and/or money you’re always going to have women around you. Mind you, not the smart women, just those that are material.

One of the biggest reason people don’t like Rush is he makes them think about wrong and right and face reality. I have never always agreed with Rush or others like him, but I have believed in their basic principles which the core comes down to self dependence, and personal responsibility. That’s not something we have a lot of in America today due to hypocrites like liberals.

As I have stated before IF Rush is indeed guilty of these crimes then he should have to pay the same price any “ordinary” citizens would pay, be it jail time, fines etc. My own personal opinion is that since he is such a popular person he should have to do jail time if found guilty so as to set an example for others.

It is very easy for me to maintain my credibility because what I believe in I believe is good for ALL PEOPLE, not just those that believe in the things I believe in, something liberals have never been able to do and some are proving that very point with Rush…

 

hehehehe

Yer so cute, Burt

 

If that were indeed true then why don’t liberals in society every utter those words? Because it means accepting responsibility and that is something that is a sin in the liberal community.

You do have a point about making it easier to feel sorry for someone willing to admit the truth and ACCEPTING personal responsibility then it is to listen to some moron tell everyone how it was NOT their fault but societies fault or someone else’s.

I feel no sympathy towards others that can not accept personal responsibility, like that dumb lady that drowned all her kids. She should have got the death penalty and died because of her crimes but NO, the liberals and women groups can to her aid to find excuses for her SELFISH crimes. It sure was funny that few if any came to the DEAD children’s aid, especially since ALL the groups that came to her aid are always using the same STUPID line about all their programs being for the CHILDREN…

Anyway, it’s still a fact that you would NEVER hear a liberal utter any of the words that Rush did and that is one reason there is such a tide against liberals now days and why so many are so afraid to admit they are indeed liberal and act like it is such a nasty and dirty word. That’s right they are calling themselves Progressive now days… LOL

 

Rush Limbaugh.

I've been listening to him a couple of times a week for 12 or 13 years now. The first time I heard him, I was surprised that someone was calling people out on all the PC bull***** that has, in my opinion, delayed a smoothing of race relations in this country. He made a lot of excellent points and mirrored my thoughts on many subjects.

This being said, I have never been a dittohead. Rush has said that the one thing about radio, is that it is the only medium that makes it very hard for one to tell lies. There are fewer distractions, and what is being said is the weight of the program. I've found this to be a truism. I've applied it to his show and have come away with the feeling that, while I agree with much of what Rush says, I haven't felt that he is wholly genuine. I've detected a great deal of self importance and yes, what I thought to be an underlying tone of hypocrisy. Since there is no evidence other than my own personal bull***** detector, I rarely comment on my feelings about Rush. It's an argument that I can't win.

I don't think that Rush should go to jail based on the current info that has been confirmed. Under the circumstances, I feel that even though he has been hypocritical on drug issues, he should be treated no more harshly than any other first time offender.

 

Burt,

You did it again I swear that you just can't help yourself. You're like a mix between a Furby and the Energizer Bunny. You keep on saying the same things over and over and over and over, again and again and again.... You took a perfectly good debate about Rush Limbaugh and used it to spew out more of your liberal this liberal that crap.

I think you're extremely confused about what a liberal is and what a conservative is and it's time for a lesson.

Liberalism:

A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority.

Conservatism:

A political philosophy or attitude emphasizing respect for traditional institutions, distrust of government activism, and opposition to sudden change in the established order.

You see, we can make up our mind on any issue we want based on the current circumstances. We can freely change our opinions, positions, additudes and beliefs. Liberalism is founded on the idea that we are free to make our own choices, change and evolve and express our own personal beliefs.

You, being a conservative on the other hand, are ****ed. Conservatism is based on old ways of doing things; ideas from the past. You have to stick with tradition. Your world is black and white, right and wrong based on tradition.

I always laugh when you talk about liberals because I consider myself to be quite liberal and you never accurately portray how I see issues. It's funny

Now that you understand what a liberal is, you need to understand that whenever you say liberal this or liberal that, you're talking about old news or something that has nothing to do with current circumstances. Keep this is mind and you won't always sound like a Furby/Energizer bunny

 

That is the black and white definition of Liberalism. It does not take into account those that hide behind the ideals of liberalism in order to gain power and promote an agenda that hardly supports civil liberties for all. Only for those that are most likely to blindly support them.

Liberalism in it's purest form and defined intention, is not an insupportable position to take. By supporting Liberalism in it's current reality, many well meaning people are helping sustain dangerous leftist agendas that have nothing to do with altruism, which is supposed to be at the heart of Liberalism. There is a great deal of hatred which has fueled the success of the liberal democratic agenda in the USA over the years. The right wing of the Republican party is guilty of this, too. Just not so successful at it.

 

Translation:

Depending on who it is about, or how it might affect us personally we can have many different positions on a particular subject. To us EVERYTHING is gray, laws do not matter, unless of course it is to our favor, otherwise they are useless and restrictive.

Personal responsibility is not an option for us, since we can freely change our mind, evolve and express our own illusion of personal beliefs. We do not believe most people are capable of helping themselves or making their own decisions based on race, gender, beliefs, amount of money they may make or any other “class” we can put them in to. Unless of course they have the same illusions as us, then they are ok…

Translation:

Tradition is the buzz word for:
1. Laws and personal responsibilities.
2. ALL people are capable of self dependence without the assistance of government. Those that due to problems beyond their control, medical, mental etc are indeed in need of assistance of others, be it government programs or other out reach programs.

Yes, the world is, for the most part, black and white right and wrong based on laws and regulations enacted by the MAJORITY of the society. These laws and regulations are based in large part on personal responsibility, also known as traditions which can be changed at any time by the majority of the society.

Liberals do not believe in tradition because it means laws, regulations and personal responsibilities and because it is supported by the vast majority of the society thus liberals usually seek the courts assistance in tearing down traditions that the vast majority of society believe in to begin with.

Because of the practice of the illusion of ” the idea that we are free to make our own choices, change and evolve and express our own personal beliefs” when ever they choose to do so and thus force the vast majority of society to do what the very small minority of society wants done that liberals, progressive people are loosing power and revert to name calling when ever they debate and run into problems with their positions…

You go ahead and feel good about your grand illusions, and I will feel good that I have principles founded in traditions of laws, regulations, personal responsibility and the support of the majority of society…

 

Those are indeed comical most specifically the definition of Liberalism. Let’s break it down into what is practiced by the majority of those calling themselves liberals:

A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans If it feels good, do it, doesn’t matter if it works or not so long as it feels right. and the autonomy of the individual we can make up our own rules and laws that we feel are just regardless of what the majority thinks. and favoring civil and political liberties, ONLY to those that agree with us and our agenda, otherwise the rest shall have NO civil and political liberties. government by law with the consent of the governed consent ONLY by the governed that actually have our same beliefs, no need to put the laws in ink anywhere since we can freely change our minds at any time. and protection from arbitrary authority protection from the majority that do not believe in our beliefs and agenda…

Ok, let’s break down the Conservatism one:

A political philosophy or attitude emphasizing respect for traditional institutions, laws and regulations put into effect based on support by the MAJORITY of society. distrust of government activism, distrust of those seeking to tear down what the majority of society have put into effect of their own free will, distrust of those who actively seek to separate society and put them in to separate groups based on race, gender, religious beliefs, income levels, education level and to do so to cause hate and distrust between those groups. and opposition to sudden change in the established order. Opposing anyone that runs to the courts to change what the majority of society wants and has already established.

There you go…

 

That's pretty good Burt. Errr, I mean Magnum! I think you damn near nailed it there. That's the way things currently stand as far as I'm concerned.
