rich and poor

hunger, dispair knows no relegion, cast or color.

hate weakens, love strengthens,.

all human beeings has same dreams, desires, needs.

stop nonsence , right, left, christian, or hindu, jew etc,.

one god one race humans..

Depriving others by acuumalating ill earned wealth, unneccossory , unutilised excessive wealth by political or relegious means is a sin.

Beyond necessity to eat, own one shelter, preaching things not practiced=this category of sinners ends in HELL.

our president

i could never vote for a pro-abortion president but he won so i hope that he will be sucessful in his presidency. and come to the realization that the baby holocaust is not good for america, for GOD, AND not for the babies. i mean hitler killed 6-12 million and we are at 50 million murders of babies and the total is rising every day. the radical muslims want to kill us but i don't think babies want to do that.

Rush Limbaugh's comment

You can read the transscript over and over of what Rush said.

Essentially, if he did not want to say what he did - he would not have said it. He even baited the "drive by media" by Saying he wouldn't care if they quoted him as such.

Look, Rush could speak of some very good points, but he turns into an over hyper active idiot by trying to fill up dead air.

He does know he is being "out there", he get's people's attention by doing so.

That is really it in the nut shell. I do not give a talk show host much credibility when there should not be much.

Rush Limbaugh is a terrorist

Osama Bin Laden also wanted Obama to fail. Limbaugh and Osama are the only two well known figures who wished our president ill. The only difference is OSama sends out a tape once a year, while the fatso curses Obama every day. Limbaugh puts his ego above national interets. If there is an attack tomorrow Limbaugh would cheer. What a traitor!

jimfolks of tn

yes, Bush DID fail ..... miserably. Just look out your window.

Which why is the GOP finds itself where it is, a regional party appeasing a niche of dillusional voters.

Under Bush's watch, the defecit INCREASED by 5 TRILLION dollars.

You have any idea how many bridges to nowhere that could buy ?

Robertson's comment about Rush Limbaugh

Pat Robertson should know better. Rush Limbaugh stated that he hoped Obama's socialistic policies would fail. Most of us conservatives knew who Obama really was all along. Now he is proving it. I know they will fail. And it will be to the detriment of our country.

Children... Please !

It astounds me the level of personal depravity expressed here in the(so far) 216 comments. An honestly shared opinion that someone is being foolish has merit and will be appreciated (whether or not another agrees) by anyone who hears it. But, to relish in calling others, whomever they are, a fool - or any other humorously spiteful label based on a recognition of theior personal difficulties, reflects the insanity that this nation is suffering.

About Rush: He cares about our independence and freedom to live as we please with minimal government controls. He creates controversy in order to spur a discourse about the choices we are allowing our government officials to follow.

Years ago Rush said, "If you want to know what is going on, follow the money." And he has lots of it, so he should know what is going on. The problem with my implication that Rush knows and the opposition does not because Rush has money that reflects his comment, is a logical nightmare comparable in lke to most of the comments I read above.

Fact is, using the bailout of the auto companies as an example, Rush is right concerning our loss of freedom and well-being via the present methods to put the load of economic recovery in the hands of us the taxpayer. Here is why:

I may not desire to buy a car from company 'A' because of poor service plan, poor quality (in my opinion), poor investment decisions (including investments in companies producing products I belive, for my own peace of mind, are not worth supporting), etc. I may desire to buy a car from company 'B' for numerous reasons.

This means I want the money I have spent the effort and time of my life working to gain to go to the company that makes the car I desire to buy. It also means that I do not want my money to go to the company that makes the car I do not want to buy.

If I do not want to buy a car, then I do not have the expense that a car purchase brings. I certainly will not send money to a car company where I am n ot interested in doing business.

The "stimulus package" removes that choice.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Can't believe all the Kool-Aid drinkers here. OMG RUSH WUZ TAKIN OUT OF CONTEXT!! Yes, dears, of course he was. Do you actually engage your brain at all before spewing your dittohead talking points? Wait, on second thought, don't answer that. Just go back to watching Faux Noize and fondling your shotguns already. You're not bright enough to be allowed on the internet by yourselves.

pat /rush comment

Once again ,the proof is in the agenda! The unAMERICAN zombies read the headlines and weave a story to discredit the speaker/writer. To paraphrase RUSH, he said he hopes [for the sake of our country] that obama fails in his quest to eliminate the constitution of the USA, and in its stead, replace it with neo-Karl Marx Socialism.What AMERICAN hopes obama succeeds???? Part of the problem with the dummies that attack free speech, is that they don;t communicate using AMERICAN English.With that said, it is easy to condemn those idiots by saying "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON"!!! In all probability, as a programed ZOMBIE, you never will understand.You are content to allow your masters to plan and direct your life(as it is)for you.DUMMIES are required-in order for the 'smart' guys to flourish. I HOPE OBAMA FAILS, for the sake of my country.
