What Rush Said - July 20, 2011

Back from a break, Rush is talking about the main stream media (MSM) trying to form opinion, specifically about a poll suggesting the majority want to raise the debt ceiling.  When looking at the poll sampling only approx 37% were registered voters.  Rush sums it up this way, "There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and polls."

More to follow as time permits.  Rush reminds Republicans don't cave.  Winners don't compromise.

What Rush Said - May 10, 2011

For fun Rush decided to start a conspiracy theory of his own today: That Bin Laden was taken alive, and water-boarded, but died as a result and thus was buried at sea.

Rush talked about the recent Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace questioning White House National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon. Wallace wanted to know why it was okay to shot an unarmed man in the head twice, but that water-boarding was not okay.

Late in the show a caller suggested that race was the reason Rush didn't like Obama. Rush flatly denied that stating that he didn't like Obama because he doesn't like Socialists, or liberals.

What Rush Said - March 14, 2011 - Media Scare Tactics Meltdown

I missed the beginning of the show but when I did pick it up it was clear Rush was commenting on the fear mongering and slanted reporting by the media about Japan's nuclear reactors. Reading from comments from Dr. Josef Oehmen, a research scientist at MIT it is revealed that not only are news reports plain bad, they are plain wrong as in inaccurate. Here are two links about Dr. Oehman's remarks - first from businessinsider.com and second from bravewnewclimate.com

As Rush explains there is a risk to everything. He quotes from the EIB's official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsvilles who said, "Practical energy sources are inherently risky. There is risk associated with virtually everything, particularly in energy production -- and the reason is is that we need so much of it. There's no way to provide it without using concentrated forms of it. Petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear, those are all concentrated."

Rush explains that liberals want you to believe that they can have a utopia without risk. Along with risk is also reward. The high standard of living enjoyed in the United States is something that liberals want to undo for whatever convoluted reason. So they and through their media minions use scare tactics to stop progress. Of course, there's a false promise as there is no utopia. The media, and all leftist liberals, are using scare tactics and fear mongering to kill nuclear power. The left demonizes those who take the risk of exploration, and refinement, and distribution - using the oil industry as an example. People who work hard to provide us a life where you have an expectation there is gasoline at the gas station and you can be comfortable in your home by adjusting your thermostat. The liberals want to take risk out and there goes your standard of living.

Rush also suggests that Obama needs to learn from Japan whose financial situation is such that 200% of Japan's GDP is debt.

Later in the show Rush discussed the talking points the libs have criticising U.S. Rep Peter King on his hearings on Muslim Radicalization in American where they suggest such hearings with encourage more terrorism. Well then, Rush concludes, their (the libs and medias) ongoing criticism of the Tea Party ought to increase the Tea Party ranks. The same goes for their bashing Sarah Palin and, based on the liberal logic, support for Palin should be bolstered everything they trash her.

Rush tries to make sense of the nonsense. I didn't need to hear from Rush that the reports about Japan's nuclear situation were alarmist.

What Rush Said March 1, 2011: Bogus Polls

Bogus Polling Data Done By State Run Media

Regarding Wisconsin and battle of unsustainable Union benefits, many in the state run media are reporting on a newly published poll that suggests a majority of American's support public employee union demands. Rush drills down through the story, reported in the New York Times, to the 7th paragraph on the 17th page of the paper where the breakdown of who participated in the poll is spelled out. While in the general population no more than 12% are in unions, over 25% of those polled were in a union. Another 25% of poll participants had a family member in a union. Is it any surprise then, when this group was questioned about union support, the results came down on the side of unions and against Governor Walker.

Paraphrasing that Rush remarks that this poll is yet another example of the state run media trying to change the facts, change the story, and ignore the results of the election in November and the trend moving forward.

Rush also had a great interview with Donald Trump - who had very good, although disturbing information about China and the devastation their policies are wreaking havoc on our Nation.

What Rush Said February 25, 2011: Obama = Nero

In context of discussion about questionable Obama responses to events in Libya - after a caller expressed dismay at the fact the White House was holding a Motown celebration while the Middle East is, "going to hell in a hand-basket," the discussion turned to the seemingly excessive amounts of parties and vacations the First Family has. The comparison to the phrase about ancient Roman ruler Nero was made by EIB* staff. That of the legendary situation of Nero fiddling** while Rome burned. Rush provided an ancient history lesson, remarking, according to the tale, that Nero set the fire, then played a fiddle while Rome burned. Rush further explained that Nero wanted to rebuild Rome in his image. He left the Obama-is-like-Roman-Emperor-Nero comparison there for the audience to draw their own own conclusions.
