God I love Rush Limbaugh! Now there is a man that should run for President of the United States. I was watching a video clip of Rush Limbaugh addressing the CPAC convention the other day and he really did a great job of pointing a few things out. He was quick to defend his stance that he hopes President Obama fails. While the liberal media, or drive by media as Rush would put it, would like you to believe that Limbaugh's wishes of an Obama failure are unpatriotic and treasonous, the thinking man comes up with a completely different viewpoint. To me, an Obama failure means that TRILLIONS, yes I used the T word, of wasteful spending will not get the country on the path to recovery and success. It would mean that the Democratic Party had failed to silence the voice of the right, which they will try to accomplish via the "Fairness Doctrine. An Obama failure would be a failure of socialism in the United States and would therefore be a victory for the long- term stability and viability of the country. Now, when it comes to protecting our country from terrorist organizations, I hope to God that Obama can take a page from the George W. Bush playbook and prevent another attack like the one that was orchestrated on 9-11. However, when it comes to Obama's economic plan, I am willing to suffer through four more years of pinching pennies if it means that the quasi- socialist Democratic Party that is running this country has to tuck its tail between its legs and walk into the sunset. One needs only to look back to the Great Depression for signs of hope and encouragement. During the Depression, the United States government did not pump trillions of dollars into the economy and we came out just fine. A little patience and self- control will get us out of this economic funk that we find ourselves in. Remember that kid you went to high school with who always drove a brand new vehicle that their mom and dad bought them? They always wore designer clothes that their rich parents paid for while you were stuck wearing your older sibling's hand me downs? Our nation has become that spoiled teenager. Our parents, the government, want to make sure that they give their children (the poor) everything they want without making them earn it. I, personally, am embarrassed that our country has come to this. That kid in high school will be dependent on his parents for his whole life. He will grow up having no idea how to function on his own after high school. The people that are going to receive all of these Obama handouts will be no different. The government will rob them of their dignity, self- respect and ability to take care of themselves and their family. And, according to Obama, it will all be done in the name of fairness! Some lessons in life are learned the hard way. For those who have had to foreclose on their homes, I feel bad for you. That said, next time do not commit to something that you cannot fulfill. For the hard working person who has paid every payment on time and will be taxed at a higher rate because of their personal success, I feel bad for you too. You have done everything you had to do to make sure that you fulfilled your commitments but will still have to deal with the trillions of dollars that your country will be in debt after our attempt at socialism. The lesson for the person who bought the house they could not afford is to spend only what you can afford to. To the person who is responsible with their money, the lesson is to make sure you do your part to educate your friends and family on the issues to ensure we do not elect another socialist to run this country. So, in the end, a failure on Obama's part would be a long- term victory for the great nation in which we live. Thank you Rush for saying what so many of us are thinking!
