My e-mail to Rush Limbaugh

"But young up and coming Conservative leaders like Sarah Palin"

Sarah Palin -young up and coming ? Sorry to say it but her 15 minutes of fame is done. If she's one of the representatives of the Republican Party's "future" then it won't have one. The hard line neo-conservative / evangelical PNAC card carriers are what killed the party during the last 8 years and from every indication I've seen she's from the exact same mold.

Way to go man. You have been starred flagged, and added to my friends list. The thing this country needs is more people like you. It makes me really happy to see a young man on the right track.

We are in for some insane crap ahead. The republican party shot itself not in the foot, but in the face. I hope that it evaporates completely. I will never vote for another Republican or Democrat for President.

I voted for Chuck Baldwin. I voted for RP in the primary.

I am afraid that the system has failed. I no longer have any confidence that our gov't has our best interests in mind. We have in fact proceeded directly into fascism. The executive branch has nearly unlimited power.

The breaking point is going to be at hand shortly. I think it will be obvious.

The move against the people that is just a little to brazen.

Wait for it, but you will know when it happens.

The mods removed the post by mwalk because it was off topic. So out of respect for the mods I have removed this response to him/her as it shows what mwalk said in the quote.



But just so this stays on topic, I am proud to be from the United states simply because I am. No body needs an excuse to be proud of their country.

Hi onefinalmint,

As OP, that's you, it's good if you would participate in the thread you start. No stars for you till you interact. For all we know someone else is doing your homework!

Rush would probably agree with you, generally.

The problem with RP is that he has little political potential. Watching him is somewhat of a painful process. He doesn't have what it takes in the politically gifted department. He also puts his foot in his mouth a lot.

If Ron Paul had a deep voice and looked cool like Obama he would have won hands down.

I have to disagree

I don't think we've seen the last of Sarah Palin. I've not decided how I feel about that but I believe I"m right about this.

This should pan out to be a really interesting thread.

Originally posted by onefinalmint
Socialism can easily lead to Fascism

Let me start by saying I agree with almost everything in your post. However, I would like to correct one aspect of your thinking. Too many people in this country do not understand the political spectrum. I will take it from "left" to "right." It goes as follows;

Communism
Socialism
Liberalism
Centrist
Conservativeism
Neo-Conervativeism
Fascism
Totalitarianism

The point I would like to make is this; Socialism is on the opposite end of the political spectrum from Fascism. Again, I must say that though I consider myself a liberal, I agree with everything you stated. I just wanted to clear up this common misconception, one I have seen made many times on this site by many, many people.

Your letter is misguided.

You seem to think that Rush endorsed and embraced McCain. He did not. He is well aware of the current weakness in the R party, and how they have been infiltrated by liberal neo-cons (yes, neo-cons originated from the liberals that drifted toward the right).

Your only argument seems to be that Limbaugh did not embrace Ron Paul. He did not, for good reason. RP is a kook with a few good ideas. But he takes money from white supremacists and tries to argue that "better I have their money than they do" meanwhile ignoring the image he is giving off.

Why would you bother emailing Rush anyway? Why not direct your anger to the RNC and the R members of Congress?

There is good reason why the American public and the Republican party soundly rejected Ron Paul. And it wasn't because he spoke some magnificent truth that they tried to hide or cover up. It is because he is a niche candidate that cannot relate to the general public.

I doubt Rush will take your letter seriously if you believe that socialism leads to fascism. Even Stalin himself wasnt even close to fascism. Fascism, being essentially a petty bourgeois ideology preserves private property.- closer to the neocon ideology.

Apart from that you do make some valid points.

The guy does have the number 1 show Ratings wise on radio...


so... he does have THAT going for him...


You don't got to respect the man, but you do HAVE to acknowledge the man...

I give you a star... not because I agree with you... though I do on some points... but because it was an intelligent message and probably above mush loosebowels' head.

reply to post by Z.S.P.V.G.


You have no idea what your talking about. There are good people and Ron Paul is one of them, read a little. He actually cares.

The future of the conservative movement in the republican party is Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana. (6th. District)

Mike's website

Mike is just now starting to get some MSM press due to his bid for House Republican Conference Chairman, and is going to appear on Fox News Sunday today! Check it out.

Mike has for years been very accessable to the people and he continues that with regular appearences on the Garrison Show, our local conservative radio talk show. Mike use to be the host in this time slot years ago, and will fill in for Garrison from time to time.

He is a rising star on the national scene but We here in Indiana have know about what kind of individual Mike is for a long time.


Our Governer Mitch Daniels, in a state that has been "Red" sense 1964 but went "Blue" for Obama, has turned Indiana's economy around dramatically in his first term as Governer and was re-elected with a landslide victory. My Man Mitch

My point with all of this is that there are alot of rising stars in the conservative movement. I bet alot of states have individuals like Mike and Mitch just waiting for the chance to lead the party. We need to purge our current republican leadership, and take back our party....NOW!

I like Dr. Paul, but he didn't receive the kind of press that I'm sure that he deserves. I like alot of what he says but I always came away feeling that somthing was a little off with this guy. Maybe the MSM had a roll in this perception, but to be frank, I just thought he was a little creepy.

Palin is being raked over the coals right now by the people who are responsible for the mess that the republican party is in, and those are the ones who need to be purged from the party. She may not be our ace in the hole, but she sure is the future along with Mike, Mitch, and a hanfull of other bright stars out there that need to be brought to the front of the line.

It is our responsibility to keep these individuals in play and send those who don't share our conservative beliefs back to the private sector. Cry and whine all you want about Obama, but it is our fault, and maybe the MSM, for putting up a product that just didn't sell.

Now for a little bit to the OP and more to the main topic of discussion.

I like your passion and desire to light a fire under the behind of people who can make a difference. Rush has never really been a McCain guy but I don't think he really had a chance to be a Ron Paul guy. He was holding out on backing a candidate to see what happend with the nominations. Was that the right tact? I don't know, maybe he should have come out earlier and tried to make a difference. I know one thing about Rush, He wants Us to think for ourselves. (contrary to popular belief) We don't need to be spoon fed, and have out hands held. It's up to us. We need to do our homework and present electable people for our party.

A star and a flag for you!

HAhaha Sarah Palin an up coming threat in the Republican party I suggest that if the conservatives are pinning their hopes on her thank everything that is great in this world; because if thats the case the republicans will never ever own the house.

Sarah Palin has become the Webster's Dictionary's new definition for hypocrit.



[edit on 9-11-2008 by Lokey13]

By the way great thread, Rush needs to take a few new classes. All of these older conservatives are stuck in their old, foolish, petty ways; in fact I may even call them criminal (who wouldn't). So I believe that the only way for the republican party to make any sort of comeback at all is to entirely clear house and rebuild; I do respect Ron Paul but I believe that the next president will also be a younger man/woman and the republican party is currently out of touch with it's younger and more powerful americans.

Ummmm so the new leader for the republican party looks like more of the same. Almost looks like John McCain if they shaved about 900 years off. Why does the Republican party continue to make puppets out of rich/ well respected/ old southenerns.
