Remind me again, Limpy: how many black GOP congressmen are there?
Limbaugh's house in Florida
Which one looks like a plantation?
Waiting....................
Is that enough field to qualify? Or should we find more pictures of his back yard?
wrong.
plan·ta·tion
1.
a usually large farm or estate, esp. in a tropical or semitropical country, on which cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugar cane, or the like is cultivated, usually by resident laborers.
2.
a group of planted trees or plants.
3.
History/Historical .
a. a colony or new settlement.
b. the establishment of a colony or new settlement.
4.
Archaic . the planting of seeds, young trees, etc.
As I said, wrong.
Notice the green shrubbery behind the pool. It's too low to be trees. So that cleared area must be a field of some sort.
Oh, and I've seen farms and ranches . . . come from a very long line of farmers and ranchers. Have you ever seen one?
I actually did find some that matched up pretty good, but they're 1024 X 600 or the like. Think metal seat, sitting 3-4 feet off the ground (at least, but I was smaller then), great big wheels.. not like the 'souped up rider mowers' I saw looking through the photos.
Riding the "Ducks" at Wisconsin Dells
Hearing about the 1964 Alaska Earthquake while visiting relatives in Atlanta
Playing on my Paternal Grandfather's old tractor (see other post for more) Illinois
Visiting Stone Mountain
Visiting Paternal Grandmother in St. Louis, also my uncle the cop there.
Visiting Uncle in Army Medical (dentist).
Visiting NYC with family
Various Museums.. Believe It Or Not, jail museum in FL, Sea World FL, The Cape (several times, and watching launches from Mercury to Apollo from home, about 40 miles from pad).
Visiting relatives in L.A. and San Francisco
Visiting mines in IL
etc.
No, it's not strange, dumba** . . . I was born and raised in West Texas.
This is incorrect also. In my neck of the woods, ranchers often do a bit of farming also. Cotton, grain, peanuts, hay . . . My brother has about 100 acres of cultivated land. He plants haygrazer or wheat, usually. He bales it . . . sells some, uses the rest to feed his cows.
So, you're wrong . . . once again.
We do, but not of the Florida plantation:

Rush Limbaugh’s 32,000 square-foot oceanfront compound in Palm Beach
Get some respect for yourself, doughie. This man LAUGHS at your ignorance in believing the crap that he doesn't even believe. It's called propaganda . . . it works on folks like you.
A clue: Rush isn't a conservative and nothing he spews has a THING to do with conservatism.
You're just a very sad, very uninformed groupie.
Do you have evidence to support that claim? That is pretty harsh. I would have to accuse you of the same ignorance. MMFA does nothing but throw soundbites at you, and ask that you react to those soundbites with biting comments and insults, nothing of substance.
You are still trying to convince us that you are conservative. That is just too old.
Groupie? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
Oh, and I'm not a groupie at all. I post here because I'm appalled at the face that the Fox/hate talkers and their uninformed groupies like you have put on conservatism. I HATE political clubs and have never belonged to any of them . . . voted for the Republican candidates for president for most of my life until the Republicans nominated someone I knew to be incompetent, irresponsible and non-conservative in 2000. Look around you at the mess he made . . . I was right. My candidate of choice in 2000 ran in 2008, but he selected an incompetent, irresponsible twit as his running mate . . . couldn't vote for him. My choice for president would have been Chuck Hagel who shares my disdain for groupies like you and for the hatemongers on Fox/hate talk radio. One of the reasons he left Washington was because he didn't recognize his party any longer.
You really do need to read up on authoritarian followers . . . it described you to a tee. No conservatism there, just blind following of people you see as having authority. Open your eyes, doughie . . . these people are using you and they are NOT conservatives.
I was wondering how many he actually voted for, since I know that he didn't vote for Bush. The number of times he voted doesn't necessarily mean that he voted for a Rep.
Reading comprehension isn't high up on your list of talents, is it?
Please tell me that you are joking. If not, then please look up the word, "plantation". Wow.
I think you're missing the whole point of those who are making jokes about Limbaugh calling anybody else a Plantation owner.
Hint: It's not about the agriculture. It's more about a wealthy racist elitist in an extravagant estate, projecting his faults onto others.
Apparently, you missed this definition. You were wrong. I see groups of planted trees and plants in the pictures above.
Let me put it this way, my mind can only handle so much BS and insults, and since there is an abundance of it here, forgive me if I miss a sentence, or two.
I think that you just have a serious chip on your shoulder about something... You say you are a conservative, but... You see your party changing, but instead of fighting the change, you join the Soros camp.
"Soros" camp??? LOL! Lordy, you have it bad, hon! I'm not in ANYBODY's camp nor do I belong to any political club. I've told you that, too. I still vote for conservatives . . . real ones. I don't vote for the letter in the ( ). See above. "Conservative" and "Republican" are not mutually inclusive.
As I told you, I post here because I hate the fact that these horrible people and their blind followers are putting such an evil face on conservatism.
This was in the post that you just responded to, doughie.
Ah -- THAT'S why you're a faithful Limpballs listener . . .
I might add that conservative doesn't mean Republican. Those two terms are not mutually inclusive.
Lugar and Hagel. Tells me even more. It sounds to me like it was you who had the change of opinion, not the conservatives.
I had no change of opinion, doughie. You just are not a conservative. You're simply a Fox/hate talk radio groupie. They don't represent conservative values or beliefs.
I have always been a conservative, and cannot recall the changes that you are talking about. I see politicians who have changed, but that doesn't change the belief system. You just vote the idiots out.
I do not consider Lugar or Hagel among others, to be conservative. Just know too much about them.
Someone who believes in conservation
- of the environment
- of military resources
- of privacy rights {NOT warrantless wiretapping, extraordinary rendition, offshore torture, etc.}
The current crop of neoKKKons/teabaggers don't qualify . . .
"Too many whites are getting away with drug use . . .Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. . .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."
Said the man who became addicted to pain killers and fought like hell to keep his wide backside out of jail.
"Guess what? Faisal Shahzad is a registered Democrat. I wonder if his SUV had an Obama sticker on it."
Said that same man. Interesting that he would say such a thing since Shahzad wasn't even registered to vote.
"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."
Said that same man again who would later deny he had ever said anything that even hinted a racism when voices were raised against his stated effort to become a partial owner of a NFL team.
"And don't forget, Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too. And now, the newspaper that I'm reading all this from is The New York Times, and they, of course, don't mention that."
Of course they didn't mention that. Sherrod Brown is white. Yet Rush offers this to stoke outrage, knowing that if he said it few, if any, of his loyal listeners would take the time to do the fact checking he all too obviously did not.
"There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492."
Man, talk about your all too obvious lies. And yet, Rush put it out there knowing, again, his loyal listeners would nod along, not questioning, and certainly not turning to the Google to verify.
There's more. So much more. His own words. His own claims. His own outrageous, boldfaced lies that clearly demonstrate he is all too eager to sell his warped world view ahead of all other things.
You like him? You want to listen to him? Fine. But please, don't try to convince us he's nothing but an ego driven propagandist. You'll come up woefully short.
***Limbaugh Classic***
I summarily reject the notion that cutting down trees constitutes environmental Destruction.

Anyone who knows the history of this country knows that it was African Americans who were enslaved on plantations.
That you come to MMFA and act as if what Limpy said carries no hatred says that you are one of his scum of the earth suckups.
The impact that we African Americans experienced under slavery still affects the way we are regarded today.
How do I know this? Because you're here supporting Limpy when he has compared a political party to a plantation, knowing that it was on plantations that my ancestors were enslaved. You have no soul, no knowledge of the impact of history on a nation, no compassion for others, and no principles.
You and Limpy are the problem, not the NAACP, not African Americans, not Muslims, not gay persons, not lesbians, not undocumented immigrants, not immigrants, not Jews, not Catholics, not Hispanics, etc.
You are the problem because you refuse to accept that others are entitled to the same rights that you have: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are rights that all humans have wherever they live.
This is a key feature of that "American exceptionalism" that the right harps about but refuses to fully implement, that "something" that makes Americans stand out among the rest of the nations of the world.
You, Limpy, Glenda, and the rest who think like you have been very instrumental in turning our once exemplary country into a cesspool of intolerance, hatred, and fear that relies on military force as a solution to every manufactured/perceived problem, including torturing your fellow man.
You left out the possibility of deliberate dishonesty.
And the possibility of abject psychosis . . .
He compared a political party to "plantation owners".
That is sheer garbage, and I would like to know how you come to that conclusion.
This one is really way out there. We have acheived American exceptionalism. It is nothing to be "implemented", it is an actuality.
Maybe you should read this
At what point in history were we a more "exemplary" country than we have been in the last 30 years?
Again, doughie, you are NO conservative. You are a groupie.
We were more a more exemplary nation before January 20, 2001 @ 12Noon.
None of what you say means anything to me. You have a severe bias that shows through in your posts, and it does not allow you to even think that you may be wrong in any way.
A dog knows a fellow dog when he/she sees one.
I hate Ken Blackwell and all he represents. He and Michael Steele will sell their mothers for wealth and fame. Just as you and Limbaugh are simpatico, so are they.
BTW, I am not a fan of the idiot Steele either. He needs to step aside.
Wow. Townhall.com. I'm convinced.
Blah blah American exceptionalism ** waves flag** Obama subvert the constitution** blah blah ** pack the court with liberals...
It's like reading Hannity re-runs. F-ing pablum.
I work hard, pay my taxes, and try to be a good honest person who makes the world a better place in whatever little way I can.
I don't really understand all of your " you have this" and "you have that" stuff".
What do you do for this country ? Sit around and bore liberals all day ?
And please, we beg you to forgive the insults we throw at Limbaugh, who, after all, only called the President a "henpecked, amateur, spoiled man-child" who is "no different than Castro".
Are you trying to pull a Breitbart here? I'm sure that Rush's blather was much as usual: hate-filled, and devoid of substance.
I'm not sure how you would come to that conclusion. I said you were pulling a Breibart - in this case, claiming there is "context" to a clip when there is none.
Apparently, political correctness has clouded your judgement. I prefer to see people as they are. You're either good or bad, and it doesn't matter what color your skin is.
I suppose there's a one-in-a-million chance Limbaugh went on further to say, "I didn't really mean what I just said", but I kind of doubt it.
To the normal brain, it just gets stupider and more full of lies the more you listen.
To the impressionable dittohead brain, the repetition makes it all start to make sense.
That's the only explanation I can figure for the wingnuts recommending more exposure to Limpy in order to "get it". They think everybody is as easily manipulated as they are.
But I guess contradictions don't mean anything to you.
I'm referring to Democrats in power, that is.
