        He has the audacity ot be Black. So in a way, Rush is right. Our Founding fathers would never listen to the opinions of a slave. The slaves who hleped build America had to wait decades till after our Founding Fathers were dead before they got the help from GOVERNMENT to free them. What would a slave know about tyranny?

      What are the tenets of that tyranny? What evidence or policies and actions can you point to that are more despotic than torture? What can you point to that Obama has done that tops kidnapping and transporting untried individuals to secret prisons for indefinite imprisonment and torture? These are evidence of tyranny that Rush championed, much to his everlasting shame.

      The "Founding Fathers" would have been primitives and amoral by today's standards. Most were slave owners for crying out loud. I don't mean to speak ill of great thinkers but they would have no means to grasp or understand how our world works today let along judge the current president of the nation that they founded.

      But I want to see Rush PROVE me wrong. Prove that they would be able to comprehend the world today and be able to judge accordingly.

      Seriously, this is like speculating what advice Alexander Bell would give about cellular plans.

      The Pilgrims tried Socialism when they first got to America and found out it was a failure. Everyone put their harvest into a central "pot" and then distributed it equally. Soon, some people were producing less because they were still getting equal share and felt they didn't need to try as hard. After that, everyone was given a plot of land and had to fend for themselves and barter their goods. Guess what? People got off their a$$ and worked for themselves. Hence, the beginning of the Capitalist system.

          He's retelling the Rush Limpballs Thanksgiving story. Every year just before Thanksgiving Sh!thead tells the real story of the holiday according to Limpballs. The Native Americans were the ones that were starving, and because of the Pilgrims capitalist system were saved.

            That's why Glenn Beck backed off of comparing himself to Paine. He had NO idea what Paine's actual beliefs were and when someone clued him in, he ran away from Paine like a rabbit.

            On the bright side, the "Kelly" site includes lots of good stories on: Dream interpretation, ESP, ghosts/apparitions, hauntings, mysterious happenings, oija mysteries, psychic advice & UFOs.

            In other words, still more credible than Seahawks, Rush or freerepublic.

          Please list a single socialist policy, if you can find one, or just for giggles post the whole list you found somewhere, so that we can debate each of them. Remember, though, that socialism as a political philosophy espouses state ownership of industry. Not of A business, but whole industries. Lets start with the easiest one, the health care reform act. How is regulation of industry, simultaneously providing a mandatory segment of the population that is on average healthy and thus would only ADD to profit by inclusion, somehow socialist?

        Repeating a Rush myth from 2000, squawks? Seriously? It's BS, squawks.

        Rush Limbaugh has a high school education . . . he flunked out of college. Repeating his BS just makes you look as stupid as he does.

              One of the reasons I come here has to do with my selection of movies. I enjoy things like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Japanese and Italian SciFi. Primarily because I can laugh at the idiocy.

      Rush your philosophy is considered a step in the right directions by tyrants. They love to implement the hate that you spread on a daily basis and love to knock down those who disagree with you.

      I am livid. I did not believe that Even Rush Limbaugh was capable of such cluelessness and ignorance I was writing my note above while listening and had to stop because I could not believe that he was lecturing Obama (who would have been a slave..3/5 of a person to our Founding Fathers) about individualism, hard work and property rights! Of the last two, the irony is depressing. Rush, you have sunk to a new low.
