Republicans Allow Themselves
to be Imprisoned by Media Lies

Rushlimbaugh.com, by Rush Limbaugh

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 3/6/2013 5:30:01 PM

RUSH: I sit here and I think it would be the easiest thing in the world today to be a Republican. I think this is one of the easiest things to oppose. This would be one of the easiest presidents to identify. But there doesn´t seem to be any desire on the part of any Republican anywhere to do it. Instead, they´re sitting around wringing their hands over why they lost the election, and they´re all focusing on the wrong things. And they´re all prisoners to the daily media narrative.

Of course, it´s the republican´s fault that the media lies about them.

This is the insane mantra of rush/levin to excite their listeners.

Every evil thing done by Obama is the republican´s fault as well.

Sure, #3. No one would listen and cheer if Limbaugh decided anyone, anyone at all, on our side is doing a good job. Never an encouraging word, but always a discouraging one.

Sorry, I disagree...we don´t allow ourselves to be imprisoned by media lies...the mainstream media has imprisoned us. The education system has imprisoned us. The Judiciary has imprisoned us. Until we can win back those systems, we stay imprisoned. I´m all ears if Rush wants to tell us how to take back those systems.

This presidency should´ve been the easiest in history for an intrepid young journalist, like Woodward, to take down, but where are those journalists? At Breitbart, at FoxNews? Sure...but NO ONE is listening to any of them, so unless it comes from ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBCWASHPOSTNYT, ain´t nothing gonna happen.

Rush, Levin and Hannity are Conservatives to the core, not like many today who claim to be conservative but reject the conservative ideology.
If previous commenters who stated Rush never has anything nice to say about members of the GOP either listened to his programs or just read the transcript posted immediately prior to this one, you would know Rush named several Conservative elected figures who are acting as real leaders for the GOP. Of course they are conservatives to the core also, and not the posters´ preferred kind of GOP leaders.

Anyone who listens to Rush knows he doesn´t blame Republicans for the lies the media tell, but rather he blames those who do not counter the lies forcefully & immediately. I love W, but his administration did a bit too much "turn the other cheek" & IMO that emboldened the media to tell more & bigger lies about Republicans. Anyone who has any contact with progs knows they are still saying Bush lied to get into war with Iraq & killed millions of innocent Iraqis for their oil.

"Never an encouraging word, but only a discouraging one" ~ reminds me of how a certain contingent of l-dotters refer to Sarah Palin. But I would expect no less from someone whose comment on George Strait´s farewell tour included a reference to his lack of physical stature.

Republicans are notoriously incompetent in taking the fight to the enemy. One reason Mitt Romney lost is that he refused to fight. He did not defend himself but remained passive in the face of sustained, round the clock 24/7 character assassination and defamation by radical Leftists and propagandists. Maybe he is just too good a person to lower himself to tactics such as those regularly deployed by Democrats. In any event, he lost.

John Boehner may be the finest man alive and the most committed conservative who ever existed. I really cannot say about that. What is evident to all is that, like John McCain, Mitch McConnell and a number of others, he is, in public at least, among the most boring human beings who have ever lived. He is excruciatingly boring. Even a photograph of him is boring. He seems to have a poker up his behind. So do many other Republicans. He is not the man to lead the counter-attack. Younger blood, hotter blood, more courageous and even rash blood is needed. The current Republican leadership has fiddled while Rome burns. They are hopelessly outclassed by the demagogues, zealots, opportunists, ideologues, cranks and gangsters on the Left.

Republicans are losing because they refuse to fight. They won´t even defend THEMSELVES, much less attack the adversary.

Great post #10, you explained it well, why we keep losing.
The moderates and RINO`s are geniuses at bashing Conservatives, but act timid when it comes to defending themselves or other republicans against the smears, lies and viciousness from the pure evil, mean spirited, haters, of anyone on the right . They seem to think being nice to the enemy, and not telling the TRUTH about them puts them "above" the fray (( that)) is why we are where we are at now. Being "nice" to Evil will destroy this Nation.
I`m sick of hearing those that want Rush, Sarah, Glen Beck, or Bill O`Reilly to tone it down or shut-up! it is THEY who needs to sh@t or get off the pot.

" But there doesn´t seem to be any desire on the part of any Republican anywhere to do it. "
Riiight.
Not a single Republican has ever opposed Obama.
More nonsensical , grandiose and false generalizations from Limbaugh.
He needs his audience to be low information.
Limbaugh and the MSM both have common narratives.
The Republicans stink.
Neither one tells the truth.
Limbaugh lies about the Republicans as easily as the media and Democrats.
Which is why he refuses to have guests on his show ,
whether they be consultants or elected representatives
or authors ,
because they might expose the truth.

#13, your post laden with your own "nonsensical, grandiose and false generalizations." Limbaugh´s off-the-cuff statement is indeed generalized, though his first sentences seem to refer to a previous segment of his program not quoted in the article. But you suggest that Limbaugh and the media jointly say, "The Republicans stink." Where has Limbaugh said that the Republicans stink? That´s YOUR generalization.

Limbaugh laments the Republicans´ weakness in not speaking up more forcefully against Obama´s continual dissembling and his leftist policies. I agree with Limbaugh.

When Clinton was president, democrat Senators lined up to defend him on every talk show every day, especially the Sunday morning news shows. Who do the Republicans send out? Lindsay Graham and John McCain and a few little-known but valiant congressmen who volunteer to show up mostly on FOX News. The RNC should push Republican Senators to be vocal, outspoken statesmen on the model of Jim Demint and Ted Cruz. The RNC and the Republican caucus should insist on regular appearances on the MSM news shows "to speak truth to power" regarding Obama´s lies and the country´s downward spiral caused by his "progressive" policies.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

The Pentagon has plans to deploy its first ever ship-mounted laser next year, a disruptive, cutting-edge weapon capable of obliterating small boats and unmanned aerial vehicles with a blast of infrared energy. Navy officials announced Monday that in early 2014, a solid-state laser prototype will be mounted to the fantail of the USS Ponce and sent to the 5th fleet region in the Middle East for real-world experience. Video released by the Navy shows the laser lock onto a slow-moving target, in this case an unmanned drone, which bursts aflame in mid-flight. The drone soon

   

 

  


 
Obama: Unbalanced Budget

President Barack Obama said his budget--to be released Wednesday--would not spend beyond our means. “It’s a budget that doesn’t spend beyond our means, and it’s a budget that doesn’t make harsh and unnecessary cuts that only serve to slow our economy,” Obama said Saturday during his weekly address. “We’ll keep our promise to an aging generation by shoring up Medicare, and we’ll keep our promise to the next generation by investing in the fundamentals that always made America strong--manufacturing, innovation, energy and education.” However, on Friday, White House Spokesman Jay Carney did not say the president´s budget would ever balance

The World-Changing Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

President Obama will tell Senate Republicans it’s “not right” to filibuster his gun control agenda, according to excerpts of his the prepared remarks he will make Monday in Connecticut. “Some back in Washington are already floating the idea that they might use political stunts to prevent votes on any of these reforms,” Obama will say, according to the remarks. “They’re not just saying they’ll vote ‘no’ on ideas that almost all Americans support. They’re saying they won’t allow any votes on them at all. They’re saying your opinion doesn’t matter. And that’s not right.”

In that dreary winter of 1979, the piles of uncollected trash in London´s Finsbury Park seemed to stretch for miles. The garbagemen were on strike. So too, at one time or another, were hospital workers, ambulance drivers, truck drivers, railwaymen. Also gravediggers: In Liverpool, corpses had to be warehoused as they awaited burial—yet another long queue that socialist Britain had arranged for its patient masses. This was the "Winter of Discontent," when Great Britain came about as close to economic collapse as at nearly any point in its peacetime history, and it was

Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman says the best way to honor the legacy former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is to “crush liberalism.” “What are you doing this morning to defeat liberal politicians?” Stockman asked at the end of a statement released Monday morning by his office. Thatcher, who died of a stroke Monday at age 87, was a conservative stalwart, fervent anti-communist and a close ally of President Ronald Reagan. “While many mourn, Baroness Thatcher reminded us ‘I fight on I fight to win,’” Stockman said in statement. “The best way to honor Baroness Thatcher is to crush liberalism

   

 



 
A Primer for Understanding Obama´s Budget

President Obama will release his overdue budget on Wednesday. It will doubtless project a reduction in the federal budget deficit—a projection that journalists, commentators and policy makers should ignore. To do otherwise is to be complicit in fraud. Strong statement? Not really. For 50 years or so the federal government has deliberately and to an increasing extent misstated probable future budget deficits. Democrats and Republicans are guilty. The White House is guilty. And so is Congress. Private firms that deliberately misrepresent their financial statements in this fashion would be guilty of a crime. The magnitude of the misrepresentation is breathtaking.

Defense: As the Army removes crosses from an Army chapel in Afghanistan that offends Muslims, a training instructor lists evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism. It has been said that there are no atheists in foxholes, but like so many things askew in our politically correct modern-day universe, there are apparently some. An atheist U.S. soldier made a formal complaint about the steeple and crosses on a chapel located at Forward Operation Base Orgun-E. "We can confirm that those items were removed from the chapel," said a spokesman for the ISAF Joint Command.

Barack Obama knows the value of a sideshow, and right now he´s giving the country a big, splashy one. It´s about guns — in case you haven´t noticed yet. On Monday, the president traveled to Connecticut to give a speech on gun control and to meet with families of children killed in the Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
