Rush Limbaugh: ‘For the First Time in My Life I Am Ashamed of My Country’

Feb. 21, 2013 2:43pm Madeleine Morgenstern

“Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country,” Rush Limbaugh said Thursday. “To be watching all of this, to have my intelligence – all of us – to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it’s being, is — it just makes me ashamed.”

The conservative radio host’s ire was the result of the sequester, the looming federal spending cuts set to automatically go into effect at the end of this month unless Congress and the White House can reach a deal. He called it “deja vu all over again” and ripped President Barack Obama for keeping himself above the fray and painting himself as a Washington outsider “even though it was his idea.”

“Here we get worked up over $44 billion – that’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year,” Limbaugh said. “And in truth we’re going to spend more this year than we spent last year. We’re just not going to spend as much as projected. It’s all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn’t. And yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here. Fear there. Crisis. Destruction. No meat inspection. No cops. No teachers. No firefighters. No air traffic control.

“I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all of this are over. We have the media play along with all of this, the ruling class – both parties – play along with all of this,” he continued. “It’s insulting. I don’t know how else to describe it.”

I am ashamed of the people that voted, more than once, for the POS president and all the other liars elected to office.

  Don’t be too ashamed, it’s all our faults as well. We didn’t go out and do what was necessary to not make it happen. (and to appease Ghost, I’m using the generic royal ‘we’ so if you actually did go out and work your **** off for Romney, you are excused.)
  
  There is no credible 3rd party, so we really had a choice to make and we all knew we couldn’t work with the current President, he doesn’t represent anything near what we believe in. Romney wasn’t perfect, but at least we could’ve worked with him, and especially if he saw that our help got him elected. He would’ve been a stepping stone to better candidates in the future.
  
  Instead, we are where we are, fighting useless, stupid battles over sequestration, gun control, and Obamacare. We should be debating debt, getting a budget, responsibility, morality and ethics.
  
  I’m with Rush, I’m ashamed, but not at my country, at myself for not doing more.

  Well, voter fraud is a taboo subject on TheBLAZE.
  Don’t need a whole lot of voter fraud, just what it takes–in the right places. What do people think– voter fraud is visible? They’d do it in such a way as we’d all see it? But apparently it is “stupid” to consider this subject. No chance to stop it the next time around. It is definitely not PC to worry about it in order to try to prevent it. God wants it to happen, I guess.
  
  Just google (or whatever) “hagel voting machines” and Hagel’s favor with the pres. takes on a whole new meaning. But don’t look for a story on that here…. TABOO.

  Why be ashamed for the Conservatives who did not vote? It is more shameful that Conservatives had so few options to vote for in the first place.
  
  Even more shameful than that was to watch the Republican party eat its own, which it continues to do. The new Rove Super PAC? That is just an organization that will allow Rove and the establishment Republicans to do what they would do anyway.
  
  Whatever you may think of the comments made by Todd Akin, it was Rove and the Republican establishment, including Ann Coulter, Reince Preibus and all the way up to the candidate for POTUS, Mitt Romney, who threw hand grenades into the fire. They tried to strongarm Akin out of the race, subverting the will of the Missouri Republicans who nominated him. They then defunded his campaign, and attacked him mercilessly in the media – and we all know how much the media loves to report on Repubs attacking Repubs…
  
  They figured out too late that Akin was still one of their best shots to pick up seats in the Senate. What they still have not figured out is that this is why so many Conservatives stayed home. Personally, I still voted, but there was sure no Romney sticker on my car. This Republican party that Rove is trying to fashion is sick, and one I will not support.

  @Getlife
  Here in Ohio there is a woman in Hamilton County -a polling official- who has admitted to voting no less than six times; twice under her own name and at least four times using absentee ballots in the names of others. And she defends her claim -on TV- as defending “Mr. Obama’s RIGHT to be in the White House.” And it looks like no one is going to do anything about her or the 18 others in Hamilton County alone suspected or KNOWN to have committed voter fraud.

  David-
  
  It’s fine that your conscience wouldn’t let you vote for Romney, but since he was a valid candidate from the only significant opposition party that would actually LISTEN to you (or at least have a passing shot at listening) you might want to consider the reality of a two party system.
  
  I didn’t like John McCain at all but anyone who did any research on Barack Obama knew in minutes that he was the opposite of almost every value a conservative held. McCain had a horrible track record and to this day I hold him fully responsible for the McCain-Feingold debacle. That didn’t stop me voting for him for President because I knew nobody else had a shot and at least we could rattle McCain’s cage and get some cast off’s. We were going to get nothing from Obama, as it turned out, it was worse than predicted. We’ve fully gone backwards.
  
  So, please, vote your conscience but if you know for a fact your candidate doesn’t have shot at winning, then don’t gripe about things when the guy you really don’t like wins election over one you might have been able to actually influence.

  Gonzo “How about the conservatives that didn’t vote? That’s shameful.”
  
  Agree but worst of all is lib dems refusing voter ID and being part in fraud. Not one republican vote in a heavily populated Ohio county? Theft of our right to choose who governs us. I am convinced the illegal votes far outweighed the lack of conservative votes. The election was stolen. So was the one in 92. This fraud is destroying America and it is criminal to be against voter ID. Blocked by the very criminals against it for obvious reasons. If crooks through law can keep you from doing an inventory they can rob you till hell freezes over without fear of repercussions.
  
  I have no doubt the awareness of this by millions kept them from voting because they figured their vote will be stolen anyway and they know they are helpless to stop it. Apathy is easy when you know you no longer count and there is nothing you can do about it.

  I did vote, however, due to my conviction, I could not vote for any ticket that was listed (except for local). I will NEVER AGAIN vote for the “least” of the two. When I stand before God and Jesus, I will say that I voted based on conviction of who the best person for the job was, not what “the majority” said, or what a party said. This is why Romney did not get the conservative votes like those in 2008. He is not conservative and does not follow in line with my conviction. You don’t like that, it’s fine, however, I will not be swayed by a corrupt system anymore.
  Remember, Washington (the only good president in my book) warned against using a party system.
  
  Also, follow the money…. Did not have to do with party, follow the money and who has been in control for over 100+ years.

  I am not really ashamed, but more of upset at rinos and communists hijacking America. I am with people like Andrea Tantaros, Michael Savage, Rusty Humphries, Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, sorta, and others, including many radio hosts, bloggers and activists who are fighting the good fight. My beef with Beck is his embracing of the libertarian label. I don’t hate libertarians, but one of them I am not, The reason is that I don’t agree with many of the stances.
  
  I am a independent conservative and a traditional conservative that is aligned about 95% with social conservatives, and 100% with fiscal and defense conservatives. I hate the establishment republicans. I hate the left and I hate the republican party. I also dislike traitors like Kathleen Parker and her mini-me S.E. Cupp. I no longer listen to real news. I only watch Glenn Beck and Willkow. I am a tough cookie with my own thoughts and ideas.

  When Americans sank so low, as to allow degenerate sodomites to adopt innocent little children, I knew we were on our way to destruction, and there was no stopping.
  
  The election of Barack Hussein Obama solidified that belief. Electing a president who was mentored at the feet of a communist and who declared his run for his senate seat from the house of a known terrorist lets me know we are through.

  Voter fraud, at least in Cleveland and Philadelphia, should be able to prove. In all those precincts that went 100% for Choom-boy, all anyone has to do is locate ONE person per precinct that voted FOR Romney. But I haven’t heard anyone who has even checked this out.

  I don’t fall for the people voting more than once. It’s a lot easier to loose votes than to make up votes. I had never seen so many people going to the voting booths this election. This was the first time I ever had to wait in line and I went at 3 o’clock. There was easily twice as many people voting than the last election. Yet we are told that even Obama didn’t get as many votes as the last election What? This must be Chicago politics. Just loose the other teams numbers. This works on a number of levels. One would be your oponentes think they are doing something majorly wrong. IE amnesty

I can never hate my nation as much as Michelle or Barry does.I am only ashamed that the herd mentality exibited by the low information Obama parasites have made us extremely vulnerable to our enemies from outside our borders and from the enemies within. Rush is right, but I have felt this shame since Barry got elected and celebrated like a Greek King, pillars and all in 2008. I am more more angry than ashamed, but still have to go to work and pay bills, and watch the slow torturous ending to a once great nation.
  And Rushbo has MONEY. He shouldn’t care, right? He should be happy right?
  WRONG. Even Rush feels it. He does care. He is a self-made man and this was the only nation on earth where you can come from humble roots and be a talk radio King.
  That has changed. If you’re born poor, you may stay very poor. If you’re born wealthy, you’ll spend the rest of your days working to keep that wealth, but never truly prosper.

They tell us constantly what the Liberal are doing, and never give us any research from their well paid staffs as to ammunition to fight back.
  
  Point: The US Tax payers are paying $80,000 a year, to pay out just one Food Stamp Recipient their $300 per month. Show me one person that exposes this. I see this as a little more concerning than than a $2500 toilet seat. Even a Liberal can see this is wrong.
  
  Where did Solendra Money go, how many Obama Phones were given out, how much does Obama phones still cost us each month. Shall I go on.
  
  All I hear from the Liberals, is that Conservative want to push Granny off the Cliff. No, as a Conservative, I don’t want to push anyone off any cliff. I just want to get Govt Bureaucrats out of the Cookie Jar or at least expose them.
  
  Don’t get me wrong, I think all of our Conservatives Talk Show personalities are doing a brave service for Freedom. But it is time to fight fire with fire.

  I do not understand all the hate generated at people who refused to vote for Romney. This is our country we are talking about, not some baseball game. If Romney had been elected yes the Republicans would have won, but the Country would not. Did you miss the part of the debate where they where patting each other on the back, and stating I agree with you, no I agree with you. The majority of Republican candidates these days are either Rhinos or spineless, so why would I root for them over the bigger evil? There is only one truth, and I will not compromise the fate of my Country in the sense that I help destroy her. I will simply stand on the side lines and wait until either the Republicans gain their testicular fortitude, or a third party steps in to do the Right thing. If we are not fortunate enough to have that occur then I will be here to rebuild her when they all bring her down. There is no other alternative, a Revolution would be pointless seeing as how the majority of American’s would turn right back around and elect the same A’holes within a matter of days. At this point the best thing we can hope for is a total crash that wipes out the leaches, so true American’s can pick up the pieces. God knows without the government they wouldn’t last two weeks.

Action (or the lack thereof) is how government is restrained into the confines those who act place it.

  Rush can cause Obama to be removed by taking 30 seconds to inform millions of Americans that Obama, despite his dubious claim of HI birth, is still ineligible for not being a “natural born citizen” born in the nation to citizen parents (plural), pursuant to Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution!
  
  Not one so called “conservative radio or TV host” has the courage address pertinent details proving Obama’s constitutional ineligibility. Hardly any of them will even dare to acknowledge Obama’s identity anomalies, despite Sheriff Arpaio’s current official investigation, which has already released irrefutable evidence proving Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent! Even the great and powerful Rush refuses to pull back the curtain beyond occasionally calling the usurper Barry. All things considered, what’s really embarrassing is their combined failure to distinguish themselves from the LIbEral shame-stream media, by just telling the truth!
  
  Boycott businesses advertising with the servile lying media that won’t report the truth about Obama’s Article 2, Section 1, ineligibility: http://youtu.be/esiZZ-1R7e8 or his identity fraud: http://youtu.be/alVzyfptF80

Romney got what he had coming. He told the grassroots he didn’t want or need their support, and they responded appropriately.
  
  People think Rush is so great for conservatism. How exactly? He came on the radio in 1988. Which direction has this country gone since he started? He is an agitator who distracts from and undermines the true liberty message. Keep this in mind as he throws his weight behind Rubio (Karl Rove’s buddy) in the Republican primary in 2016.

  It’s so interesting to read the responses here and at other locations. As usual, left wing nut cases call Rush names as opposed to directly commenting about what he had to say, which include the reasons why he is now ashamed of this country. I read what he said and it wasn’t complimentary about either side (left or right). Unfortunately I have to agree with him. The credibility of the left is meaningless with its boga-facts, name calling and other like type left wing oratorical garbage ! With regards to this article left wing respondents have no relevant commentary to counter what Rush has to say except to call names that are more fitting of they themselves. It is nothing more than Left wing political graffiti which is aimed at protect Barry at all costs. Just some thoughts!

  At the risk of sounding like a voter fraud LOON–
  
  Myth #1: Voter fraud needs to be on a large scale to be effective.
  Myth #2: In the age of electronic voting machines and electronically tabulated and transmitted results, certainly no one is smart enough to hack into the system without getting caught.
  
  RIDICULOUS as they are, these two assumptions are keeping us from getting serious about voter fraud and its implications for 2014.

  What you don’t understand dumba$$ is that even though your idiot candidate won, you are in the same boat as everyone else. Tell me to love what is going on in Washington DC or leave it? You can kiss my a$$ there is nothing that says I have to love sitting here watching people like you vote in people like Obama and his merry band of marxists. I spent 13 years defending this country and it is down right disgusting to see a comment like yours while you mindlessly cheer a marxist ideologue as he systematically tears apart everything that this country has ever stood for. Keep cheering moron, you to will go down with the ship.

  Oh more delicious Republicorp tears. mmmmmmm
  
  You guys lost 1. You didn’t vote. 2. Ron Paul got the young white vote. 3. Romney was a Mormon which most born again Christians believe is a cult. 4. Your candidate was a Rich, spoiled, Aristocrat, That no one liked and when he opened his mouth crap came out. Like 47% of the American people are takers which had to include seniors and disabled Veterans to get to 47%.
  
  So better luck next time losers. Oh wait Clinton 2016 well there is always 2024. haha

You idiots that prance around acting like you won the super bowl because you managed to vote an idiot into the highest office in our land really make me ill.

  I am going to play Devil’s advocate on Gonzo’s reply that conservatives that didn’t get out to vote should be ashamed.
  
  It is no longer good enough to vote for the lesser of two evils for a great number of conservative voters. Notice I did not say Republican voters. The republican party has been pulled so far to the left that many conservatives no longer recognize it. (here is a great video explaining this vimeo.com/52009124)
  
  I will say, I will NEVER again vote for a liberal put up as a conservative, in the end my conscience is what I have to left to live with and I saw many others post similar comments all over the interweb prior to the election.
  
  If this country goes down then we go down fighting for what we believe in, not as those that would turn their backs on what they were elected for and who elected them,….. isn’t that what made this country free?

  That is the system they have set up now! If there is 100 registered voters and 165 come in. Don’t question it just take the percentage down. That is how you get zero votes for Romney. See they got 101 votes for Obama and 64 for Romney. Who cares that 65 people voted that shouldn’t.

Our once great country, the USA, has been the laughing stock of the planet for the last 4 years and will continue to sit in that position for at the least the next 4. Having this Kenyan maggot as the president is comparable to being forced to watch your mother gang raped. It is absolutely disgusting what this POS has done to our country. I fear there may be no return after he and his slugs and thugs are finished. Fortunately, there are still a few good people who believe in the principles set forth by our founding fathers; however, as the years go by it seems those numbers dwindle. Those who love the USA are a minority, a proud minority but a minority nonetheless. God bless this once great country. We need it.

  I never said it wasnt a laughing stock now. All i mentioned was when i believe we became a laughing stock. Very sad people. Very sad. I never said either war was good or bad. They were both bad and have accomplished nothing. Afghanistan is just as much a terrorist hub as it always was. Iraq will crumble into civil war as soon as we leave.
  
  Christ people get a grip. I agree with a lot of things that could be considered conservative. I also agree with a lot of liberal ideas as well. If you can only see the good in one side o the argument you are just as pathetic as the liberals who only see their side. What makes you or them right? Obama lies, mcconnell lies, biden lies, boehner lies, pelosi lies, cheney lies, gore lies, clinton sure as hell lies, west lies, akin lies, demint lies, reid lies, mccain lies, warren lies, franken lies, etc.

  We left Iraq 1 or 2 years ago. It has not crumbled. Please try to keep up. I expect it to crumble if the Muslims Brotherhood and Al Qaeda win in Syria & Lebanon. At such time I expect Iran to become an U.S. ally. The Syrian opposition has given Hezbollah an ultimatum. It remains to be seen this weekend if the ultimatum was more than bluff.
  
  You have not replied about the Democrats attempting to throw out military overseas ballots. Do you agree with that?
  
  Also please note that when the Taliban took over Afghanistan the contributed less than 1/3 rd of the troops to do so. The rest were Pakistani & foreigners form elsewhere in the Muslims world.
  
  Afghanistan is not a terrorist haven. The Tribal areas of Pakistan are. There is a difference.

  Let’s take Afghanistan.
  
  1 Al Qaeda attacked us on 911.
  2. The Taliban gave Al Qaeda sanctuary and support.
  3. The Taliban refused to stop giving Al Qaeda sanctuary
  4. Congress voted to attack Afghanistan.
  
  “The Authorization for Use of Military Force [1] is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress on September 14, 2001, authorizing the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001. The authorization granted the President the authority to use all “necessary and appropriate force” against those whom he determined “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the September 11th attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups.”
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists
  
  Clearly the Taliban harbored Al Qaeda. If you deny that then we cannot agree to much of anything except whether the sun rose and that is about it. If you deny the Taliban harbored Al Qaeda, then I take it you are a troll, pure and simple. Or in your case impure and brazen.

  So how would you bring Usama bin Laden & his Lieutenants to trial? Send in a 6 person seal team to infiltrate an Al Qaeda camp to spirit Usama out of Afghanistan so he could stand trial. While you are at it maybe you can accomplish this by twitching your nose like Samanatha the witch did on the 60s show “Bewitched” !
  
  Maybe you can throw around a few cruise missiles like President Clinton (D) did in Afghanistan & Sudan. In Sudan they lied & said it was an aspirin factory or powdered milk factory. Of course you know that a pharmaceutical or fertilizer factory can be geared up to produce chemical & biological weapons. Anyway the U.S. had to give up its’ sources & methods or pay up. We payed up because well Clinton is a Democrat. Then the was the Afghan camps hit with cruise missiles. Since they were overflying Pakistan Clinton called them up. The Pakistanis then called Usama. The missiles hit empty tents.
  
  All you do is tell us what we can’t do.You do not tell s what we can do that is effective. Therefore, we will not believe you. WE believe that you are trolling or working in the best interest of someone besides the majority of the U.S. people.

  Walkabout,
  
  I think you’re missing the point. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 was written into the Constitution because the people the wrote and ratified it had lived under a power that had the ability to take them into war whenever he pleased. King George III could declare war on whoever he wanted whenever he wanted and the colonists wanted to get away from this. They did not want to replace their king with a president who had the same level of power regarding war.
  
  So with this in mind, how do we go after those responsible for 9/11? You send in hit squads, you work with Afghans, you hire mercenaries. You do all of this without civilian casualties.
  
  Or, if you’re going to plan a mass invasion, you go to congress with a declaraction of war and you discuss how you can fight the war and win it while minimizing cvilian casualities. Then you declare war, you fight it, you win it, and you come home. Period. No more more endless undeclared wars. Understand?

No we as conservatives have sat with our snooty attitudes that our Ivy League leaders could fix it all with PhD’s and and top lawyers in the country. Not once did we rely on the common sense of mankind or let our faith lead the way. No, we were way to smart for that. We relied on the almighty education instead of the ALMIGHTY. We sat our kids in front of TV’s while we went to eat, drink and be merry. It is time to pay the fiddler now. My question is, are you ready to give your life for your country and your freedom? Who will fire the first shot to let freedom ring? I am betting that people will continue down this road walking blindly until the reality slaps them so hard it kills them exactly as the Jews did not so many years ago.

It is shameful that history tells us time and time again the road of voting someone in because you get what you want, accepting perverted lifestyles and just acting like everything is a ok will help a notion survive. The road we are taking is the same road of Rome, Germany, Italy, and others resulting in a dictatorship or a communist government. They will try to take our guns they will start arresting people for voicing out against the president if we continue down this road.

  So did I. I fell for it to. I’m embarrassed as well. We have the worst government in the history of the United States of America rushing to be a third world. Rush did not say he did not love this country. I love this country. I’m embarrassed that my fellow Americans freely give up their freedoms for a pittance and are too ignorant to realize the government, the new plantation owners don’t give a damn about them except for a vote. For instance Mary Landrieu said Republicans stole money from Social Security when she willingly took 300 million out of Social Security for a vote which makes her a liar and a thief. I’m embarrassed thinking of all the men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms who would be so disappointed in a government who has robbed them in more than one way leaving their generations today and the future bereft of those freedoms. So, don’t tell me to lighten up. I have children and grandchildren who will have to pay for the root rot that is this nation’s intent.

  KAL: The man has the courage to stand up to the union thug / media assassination squad tactics of the Chicago radical Democrats who droned Obama on America.

  As a young boy my father told me this and it is as true then as it is now. A politician is someone who can borrow 20.00$ and pay you baCK 10.00$ and then say you both lost. That is what O’Blamer is doing.

I am ashamed of the so called political leaders that are suppose to be doing the peoples bidding. I love America….it’s the dill weeds that let Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies walk all over them and they won’t stand up and call them liars……. Mccain called a person a jerk at a town hall meeting but you don’t hear him saying anything to Obama…..POLITICAL COWARDS…… 40% of Americans want Illegal Immigrants deported and McCain and bunch are caving into the Democrates….The American People are getting real tired of this kind of behavior…… Won’t be long now…. Lock and Load

I’ve been embarrassed by SLimbaugh since his last caller abortion. He’s made his fortune and screws his listeners wasting time with him.

  How exactly does he screw his listeners? His show is free to listen to. I cannot find any indication he forces listeners to sign up for membership at his site.

  Doug, it’s a shame you are more embarrassed by the sound of a vacuum cleaner on the radio than actual abortions going on. Sorry, you lack the intellectual capacity to recognize extended hyperbole when it’s presented. It takes six weeks for the average person to understand the show. For some, they simply lack the intellect to gain any understanding regardless of how long they listen. If it’s not for you, fine. For millions of others, he is neither an embarrassment nor a waste of time. Before you pass judgement on Rush, you should have listened a bit longer to his caller abortion bit. It went right over your head. Seems as though you fell in to the same trap many liberals do….they listen to 30 seconds and pass judgement on 25 years.

  Wow Doug, why the insult about me being just a boy. Sure my tag has the word boy, but I’m 40. I guess you probably think I’m quite young mostly because, judging from your picture, you are over twice my age.
  
  It is interesting however to note that despite your time being too valuable to listen to Rush, its not too valuable to get onto TheBlaze and post stupid comments.

It’s just a matter of time before things go pop and all hell breaks loose. These liberals have been putting things in place for whats going on for years. Our schools are in their complete control, as are the house and senate, certainly the supreme court, and now its filtering out to lower levels of government. I do not look forward to what the future brings for our once great nation.

this is what an entitlement society looks like. I am ashamed that some, not all, of the people in this country feel it is someone or something else’s responsibility to provide for themselves. This is not the country I was raised in or learned of in school. If you wish to leave the sinking ship, where do you go? All the other countries are worse than this. There is still opportunity here but the days of old are gone. I understand why Beck would sometimes cry on the air. I understand what he meant when he said “You will not recognize this country __ years from now”. I didn’t want to believe that but he was completely right.

I have nothing but respect for my country and all the principles we stand for; what I have contempt for are those who will not see the truth by their own choice, and those who seek to overthrow the entire nation once and for all.

God willing we will take it back and save the Republic; events are in motion and all have to choose where they stand. Time is almost up.

I hate to admit it, but Rush is right on the mind-boggling stupidity of this situation.

How is it every time the government pulls out the human shields of police, firefighters, and teachers to block any move on cutting government funding we fall for it? Saying that we stand up like wet tissue paper is an understatement.

Why do people still believe the apocalyptic arguments that shaving what amounts to less than a percent of the budget will lead to complete collapse of government?

This is like watching someone play “tic tac toe,” and constantly get destroyed by the exact same move over and over again. It’s embarrassing that the general public can’t see the games for what they are. If they can’t figure out just the bare simplicity of what the games are, then we are doomed.

  Correct on all. Police, firefighters and teachers are paid by the municipalities in which they are employed – NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am one of those ‘Poor federal employess that will be furloughed.” I received my briefing yesterday, along with my entire Fire Department. Take notice – we will ALL be at work but forced to surrender 20% of our pay for 22 pay periods. Like all firemen, every where, we all have second jobs. For those in our DOD community who may actually suffer, even a little, we’ve sone what all good communities do – we’ve identified them and are prepared to assist with food, babysitting, whatever it takes. All so Obozo doesn’t have to make the more sensible cuts to, oh – government cell phones, green energy and the like. As for the airports – my much better half is a private pilot and those small airports are already closed after 9:00 p.m. and most weekends and holidays. All pilots know VFR and most large carriers are already ADSB equipped. STOP THE PANIC. Again – all smoke and mirrors! Worse, it will only stop this years increased spending plans. Nope – not a single impact on your future pain.

  A little clarification, if I may. Not one of us is complaining about the 20% cut. We say – let the sequestration begin!!!

  The communists knew that if they turned us into women, men into women, they will have a society who decides every event on emotion. Facts and actual policies don’t matter. What matters is what someone says and if it sounds good. A little tear, a little quiver in the voice, a mention of god, we must be for the down trodden, whether they mean it or not, and that person will be put on a pedestal.

  You aren’t alone in that.America has been co-opted.To the point I don’t even see it as America anymore.To me America and what my was fought for has long since died.It died of cowardice stupidity greed and last but not least their absolute willingness to incorporate the enemy of the state into postions of power.This way the infiltration goes unfettered until the last molecule of anything we ever stood for is destroyed.

  Since the election I have purchased 4 more guns and over 2,000 rounds of Ammo, I never thought the fear of what BO is doing and the spineless opposition in Washington would ever be a daily part of my life.
  
  I just hope in the saying that “ a sheep will allow the shearer to handle them but will always put up a fight when the butcher comes to town. I am just not too sure on the Sheeple that voted for BO in the first place.

  My only hope is that it has become so blatant that even the ignorant can see this administration for what it is and actually act on it. I think most people know that Obama is a liar and a socialist but they dont see the Republicans as any better…if the Republicans dont step up and call the Democrats Liars to their face, many people will lose faith in them. many Repubs in congress think it is bad manners to say such things openly but most in the public think that if they dont…then they are no different from the Dems. At least the public knows the Dems are liars but they still have to guess at the Repubs…so they vote for the devil they know…

  I’ve been ashamed since the day I heard Obama’s wife say the same thing. The things that spewed from his lip’s during that time period smelled exactly like Socialism or Communism. The thing that ashamed me most of all, was the fact that the people just didn’t care. They are now willing to go all the way down that path of oppression and loss of freedom for a cell phone and some food stamps.
