What Else Rush Limbaugh Should Boycott

True Fascism

OK....we all know that Obama is a true Marxist at heart, but his administration has actually been quite fascist lately. Yes, that's right....fascist. Now, let's all put on our thinking caps and remember what fascism is. Fascism is a form of socialism in which the government controls major parts of the economy, but they leave these sectors to operate by the "civilian management". Much like Hitler and his henchmen, Obama realizes that it will be much more efficient....not that I think he gives a damn about efficiency. His goal is to destroy our free market. He is as much an anti-capitalist as Pelosi, Frank, Biden, etc. etc.

The "Teatotaler" Defense

This argument reeks of the classic "teatotaler" defense of obnoxious behavior. If someone is sloppy drunk and is being annoying, it's okay to defend him by criticizing everyone who's ever taken a drink. That is 100 percent analogous to what this gentleman is doing. There is a problem with big business allowing the fed to take control of them in exchange for operating capital and that makes everybody who ever cashed a federal warrant equally guilty. Guess not.

hr2454

Stop the flow of money to the federal fascists and make them reverse their American Dream killing bailouts, Union payoffs and Acorn Jobs programs. We need to roll back 40 years of Washington insider kickback legislation and throw all of the bums out. Tax Boycott NOW!!!!

* Tobacco & Alcohol - high taxed items, yes its hard but we must fight back!!!

* All Electronics made in china- expensive large tax source

* Postpone going to college and choke off Liberal Education - the student loan system is a corrupt

* Automobiles - expensive large tax source & used by Obama to pay off union bosses (except support Ford if you must buy an automobile)

* Real Estate - expensive large tax source

* Hotels - high taxed items

* Airlines - A jobs program for TSA government hacks, no common sense, only foolish false security.

* Building Materials - expensive large tax source

* Citgo gas - Funds Hugo Chavez supporting the downfall of America.

HR 2454 just passed as the house of communist lap dogs seeks to finish the conversion of America to a communist country and to divert untold dollars to their friends and own pockets. Stop the corruption and support the boycotts above to hit them in the only place we have a voice, their pocket books. We have no voice in government, they are bought and paid for. If we can unite and boycott just these items for six months, we can bring them down and hold them accountable for killing the American Dream!

FACT CHECK

When Chavez scoffed that he and Fidel scoffed were "to the right" of Obama, he was joking. It was just a joke folks.

Also, a lot of the people who left comments here really need to learn the difference between fascism, socialism, and what we actually have, which is a mixed economy and a moderate-centrist government which was elected by the majority in a free and fair election. If you really were patriotic, you would be trying to help not sabotage our country.

GM Cars

Owned GM cars and trucks most of my life (68). Had job where we had a fleet of 100 cars of all makes, even foreign. The GM cars were always first gone except for some of the exotic sports cars. GM cars and US cars all suffered from Government rules and Chysler Bailout. Ford and GM did things better, but a money losser was left in game.

American cars have caught up to foreign cars in last 10 years. Its ironical that are now going bust. Thanks to unions, poor managent that gave into unions, ala Steel Industry. Government is still harming car industry with CAFE standards. I lived in Washinton for 29 years. Most of Washingtonians drove trendy foregn cars like Volvo, Mercedes, BMW. Most of Washingtonians come from NYC and LA areas where cars are a status symbol. In rest of country, cars and especially trucks are a necessity where big is not a status sybol. If the US captal was in Midwest, US cars would still dominant.

Socialism led to the crisis

Socialism led to the current economic crisis, and more of it is not the answer. I do not think the writer of this article understands economics. Bailout money is not saving the economy and never will. It is a very short term gain for a very long term loss. The money comes from two sources: taxpayers and the Federal Reserve. Printing money only causes inflation. Printed money is inherently valueless. Taking money from taxpayers is not only unfair, but also causes people to have less money in the first place, which is bad for the economy. What is actually going on is a redistribution of wealth -- the destruction of wealth. The article makes a serious fallacy by saying a boycott is unfounded unless you boycott the other stuff he goes on to talk about. The socialist Clinton and Bush and the fascist supreme leader Obama have destroyed America. But now Obama wants more power even though his ideology destroyed America. In a crisis, the government seems to gain all this unconstitutional power. I want the country we used to be when we were great. Which means the government has minimal power and taxes are used for only essential government operations, such as security and infrastructure. I DO NOT WANT MY MONEY TO BE GIVEN TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS DEEMED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO NEED A BAILOUT. Mr. Newman, I will protest on July 4th in the streets, I will vote for real, true American leaders. I WILL NOT ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE MY MONEY FOR SOCIALISM. I will boycott a government run car company. Obviously they needed help, so I guess soon all companies will get a bailout. This is easy to foresee given the power the president takes unconstitutionally. Kill all these unnecessary government programs. Government running a private enterprise such as GM is, by definition, fascism. A private mean of production controlled by a government, that is what it is.

LIVE FREE OR DIE

I pledge my sacred honor for my country.

Divisons will Kill America

Read all these reviews - lots of division, just the kind that distracts us all from the real fact; America is best when governed from the MIDDLE and neither Bush, Obama, Democrat or Republican is truly represaenting ANY OF US; they need division to bolster their own strength. Look - 8 years of Bush are being rolled-backed by Obama, and so it will continue "back and forth" until we start acting as AMERICANS, STOP RELYING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM AND TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. We need to stop the bickering and VOTE THEM ALL OUT, replacing them with fiscal conservatives and people who reflect the values of a common America; not the racism from both sides and economic warfare brewing on the horizon; the boycott or support of one is the least of our issues here...

Give Up the cards

If you folks have medicare or medicaid cards turn them in or tear them up. That is a bailout. Becareful what you wish for it may happen to you or your folks. By the way this can be regarded as Socialism. Truth hurts does it?

GM

I do think there should be a boycott . Since we were forced to bailout the co. The worker has always been the blame for the companies woes. The greed of the Management went un-noticed and now has cought up with them. If they were allowed to fail(may still) the new Tucker's,Hudson's,Nash's, Pontiac's that had either been bought by GM or SQUASHED by the same could start anew and creating many thousands of new jobs with new ideas being brought to the market place. Hopefully the so called new GM will not buy up the ideas as they done in the past that would have allowed cars to get high mpgs, WE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE OIL COMPANIES TOO AS THE AUTO COMPANIES HAVE BEEN IN BED WITH THEM FOR YEARS!! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO GO TO WORK DO THE BEST YOU CAN & EARN A PAYCHECK ? Thank You for allowing me to express my view, as I only hold a High School Diploma, but hmmmm graduates from some of the finest schools in the USA are now our polititions and business leaders and look where we are now! I say boycot the colleges too! My solution would be to have congress pass a bill stating that no one in the USA could make more than the President of the USA , is he not on a fixed income ! Rush Luv Ya Man

The unwashed masses, u ern n to be morons....

I’ll tell what I can see (see the little ‘). You peoples cant writ or spel.

Where did some of you learn grammar and spelling, not to mention punctuation?

The older generations in America were just plain ignorant.

The younger generation is just plain brainless. The sin here is your access to information and education materials. Your contact is many times greater than what your father or grandfather enjoyed, yet you seem incapable of applying it.

The situation appears unpromising. America seems destined to fall. Laying sole blame at the feet of Bush or Obama only appears to confirm the previously mentioned conclusion. The current mess was several decades in the making.

None of you is able to eradicate the chains that bind you to your precious preconceptions and political views. The unions, this, the Bush, that. What claptrap! You spout the same media and mind wash poison in your first sentence, which you condemn in your second.

This lament is pointless. Americans will never learn to inform themselves, or think clearly.
