      Limbaugh, tell that to my mother who worked for VISTA. Oh, that's right. It's part of Beck's "civilian corps" to bring down America.

      Isn't spewing bile all day, difficult on your latest GI bypass surgery?

      No, you fat ass piece of garbage... community service is a step toward this country finally coming to terms that WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!

      What is it with some of these right-wing pigs?? Having no idea that America HAS BEEN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY since day one!

      As for fascism... if we are not careful, the soon to be heard case that will be going before the Supreme Court about whether corporations have their 'rights' affirmed as 'people' in that their giving unlimited amounts of legal bribes.... er I mean political contributions to our elected reps will be the road to fascism... thanks to the likely 5 right-wing conservatives who will very likely screw We the People unequivocally!

      And for all you little trolls that will come in here and not have a clue as to what you are talking about...

      You will be as screwed as the rest of us if we allow this kind of crap to happen! Left-right, Dem-Rep, lib-con will not matter!

        Beautiful!
        And Sinclair Lewis said, "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." Truer words were never said.

      "He does not like the US Constitution" Limbaugh says of Obama.

      Is this why Obama taught Constitutional law at the University of Chicago?

      Is Limbaugh actually impacting new followers with this rhetoric or simply preaching to his core audience?

      "One is not born into the world to do everything but to do something."
      -Henry David Thoreau

      "When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die."
      -Eleanor Roosevelt



      "I was taught that the world had a lot of problems; that I could struggle and change them; that intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate; and that service is the rent each of us pays for living, the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals."
      - Marian Wright Edelman

      Commmunity Service aka volunterism has always been touted as one of the great things about the United States. As I recall, Barbara Bush was a great proponet of it.

      Private citizens who give up their time, and in some cases their personal fortunes to contribute to the common good; cases in point, John Harvard (land to build a college), Carnegie (public libraries), are considered heros to be emulated. People who are not so wealthy volunteer their time and contribute great things to their communities and the nation. Some, just spend their time cleaning up their neighborhoods, others, like Habitat and Americares have grown and made enormous contributions toward a better world.

      Thankfully most people, unlike Limbaugh who thinks that unless it is about personal gain it is a waste to time, have enriched our world.

        "Community service aka. voluntarism has always been touted as one of the great things about the United States."

        Exactly, why else would we have a state (Tennessee) that proudly proclaims itself to be the Volunteer State? Public service without asking for any sort of repayment is considered one of the greatest things someone can do with their time. Rush is out of touch with reality, as usual.

      So, Obama isn't remembering 9/11 for what it should be remembered for. Why does Rush not give his opinion on what 9/11 should be remembered for? Being scared?

      That's why Rush didn't perform any "service" while he was young.

      We all know he wouldn't wear jeans because he didn't want anyone to think he was a hippie and he avoided the draft because only the fascists were serving.

      ask yourself.. do you see journalism anywhere? an Interview of him not to long ago along with his coach...said there were no injuries..He had a boil on his butt!!

      Limbaugh was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the son of Mildred Carolyn "Millie" (née Armstrong), originally from Searcy, Arkansas, and Rush Hudson Limbaugh, Jr. His father was a lawyer and a World War II fighter pilot who served in the China-Burma-India theater. The name "Rush" was chosen for his grandfather to honor the maiden name of family member Edna Rush.[1] His family has many lawyers, including his grandfather, father and brother David. His uncle, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Sr. is a Ronald Reagan-appointed federal judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and his cousin, Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr., is currently a judge in the same court, appointed by George W. Bush. Rush Limbaugh, Sr., Limbaugh's grandfather, was a Missouri prosecutor, judge, special commissioner and served on Missouri's state House of Representatives from 1930 to 1932.[2] Limbaugh's grandfather was a longtime president of the Missouri Historical Society. Rush, Sr., died at age 104, and was still a practicing attorney at the time of his death. The Federal Courthouse in Cape Girardeau is named for Limbaugh's grandfather. Limbaugh began his career in radio as a teenager in 1967[3] in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, using the name Rusty Sharpe.[1]

      Education

      Limbaugh graduated from Cape Central High School, in 1969. His father and mother wanted him to attend college, so he enrolled at Southeast Missouri State University. He dropped out after two semesters and one summer; according to his mother, "he flunked everything", even a modern ballroom dancing class.[1] As she told a reporter in 1992, "He just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."[4]
