And besides, contrary to common "knowledge," we'd kick yall's asses. Bring it.
So now it's okay to be treasonous?
Man, it's so hard to keep up these days.
I knew this was coming, though. I knew that their breathless devotion to the office of "Commander in Chief" in time of war would evaporate as soon as Obama took office. Not because I'm psychic or smart, but because they are and always have been profound hypocrites and liars.
Treason:
a crime that undermines the offender's government
disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior
treachery: an act of deliberate betrayal
Not agreeing with what Limbaugh said but I do believe there are lots our current government is doing that is against the will of the people and that sometime soon we the people need to stand up against it to correct the problems. Does that mean war with help from foreigners, no. It just means that we need to work together to get our government where we want it to be.
Who is this "us"? Does Rush and his million nutbags get to "Take back" from the other 200+ Million..
Now Rush is begging for an armed insurrection against the U.S. Government?
Make up your mind, Mr. Limbaugh. Are your ditto-head listeners supposed to use their 2nd amendment rights to fight tyranny (e.g. assassinate the fairly-elected president of the United States of America) or are they just supposed to listen to your stupid radio show and buy cases of Gold Bond Powder and quack-approved "dietary supplements?"
Signed,
Confused in the USA
no they're not. the alien enemies act is still on the books. the naturalization act, sedition act and alien friends act were all expired or repealed by 1802. jefferson also pardoned anyone who was convicted of these acts and congress repaid any/all fines imposed.
Limburger is only repeating the same kind of oppositionist rhetoric that leftists, liberals, and "Progressives" were shouting from the rooftops prior to the 2008 election.
I don't for moment believe that our creator intended for that privilege to only attain to Liberals, but to any principled, thinking citizen, and traditional conservatives, who've been largely abandoned and ridiculed by the Neo-Conservative element, definitely qualify as valid critics of our current and horribly wrong-headed national policies.
It was traditional conservatives who predicted that Obama's "change" would be nickles and dimes, and NOTHING contrasting wtih the existing Bush policies. AND if you could temporarily, at least, remove your liberal BIAS, you would see that where it comes to all the Bush attacks on Human Rights, and our own Consitution, not to mention our bellicose, warlike aspect towards Iran, Iraq (don't hear much about Obama's JOB ONE being removing our troops anymore DO YA?), Afghanistan and Russia, NONE of which pose us the kind of threat posed by NORTH KOREA, ITS ALL BUSINESS AS USUAL!!
With OBAMA'S continuation of the Bush Mid-East program, we simply don't have the military force available right now, to deal effectively with North Korea - Doesn't that warm your insides right up?????? With all these other nations that we're invading, not ONE of them started the hostilities. North Korea is actively planning as soon as they have the capability, to lob ICBM warheads directly at us, and they make NO BONES about it!
Our early Presidents, in particular, the Constitutionalists, Jefferson and Madison, strongly advocated ACTIVIST citizenry demanding constant accounting from our leaders, and transparency in our government at all times. Both Jefferson and Madison advocated ARMED INSURRECTION against the U.S. Government and its leaders, should the public ever reach the opinion that our government and leaders were becoming oppressive of public liberty. Our early traditionally conservative presidents believed that the people have the right and obligation to use arms to OVERTHROW the U.S. government if it fails to properly do the job for which we citizens have elected them.
What in the world should make Bush, or Obama exempt from being held to the exact same criteria of performance and results??
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Thomas Jefferson.
The Government should fear the people which it serves, the people should not be made to fear their government.
Who, what, which "liberal" in 2008, called for the overthrow
of the U.S Government???????????????????????????????????????
But Limbaugh has actually called for and endorsed
violence, and extremist action.
"our fore-fathers wanted us to have the right to overthrow our government" ... I have a sneeking suspicion that our forefather would admonish us to First, be full participants in our democratic processes > In A Constructive Way <.
Rush Limbaugh is full within his rights, presumably, to say or have said the things he says.
I am a firm believer, however, in the notion that Rush Limbaugh has not contributed one iota of constructive content to the national discourse, Ever.
You are correct. And I see little difference between Bush and Obama --- except Obama PROMISED CHANGE.
I see no change. Do you?
