Beware of Limbaugh, warns Obama

from JoeUser Forums

It looks to me like those from the Republican Party that survived the November elections were probably better off losing seeing as their opinions and votes are almost as useless as a knife in a gun fight. According to the Media, Obama warned the Republicans on capital Hill to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if they want to get things done. If by “getting things done” he means getting what they want, then those Republicans he was warning can only be 1 of 2 things to be able to actually listen to Obama and “get things done”:

Cowards or traders

So Mr President, where is the freedom to listen to any talk show host of your choosing? Where is the freedom to disagree with your policies? Where is the freedom of choice? Is this the hope everyone who favors Obama is looking for? Do you truly believe that the only way to accomplish anything in this country is to silence the opposition as oppose to having equal rights to object? That kind, caring, charismatic person everyone keeps saying Obama is seems to be fading away little by little ever since Obama was inaugurated. So far I have heard  nothing but put downs towards the Republican members. I don’t think I have ever heard Bush speak to anyone in that manner. Bipartisan does not seem to be part of Obama’s plans to fix this country. My way or the high way seems more like Obama’s style. Republicans are not being asked to help find ways to fix the country, they are being told to agree with the Democrats because they need to get along with them in order to pass Obama’s policies.

Obama may as well have a filibuster proof Senate, at this point, I see no stopping the Left. I can only hope that the Republicans do not listen to Obama and chose freedom over defeat. At least when Obama’s true intentions come out and everyone finally asks themselves “what have we done?” They will have only themselves and the Democrats to blame. This is gonna be a very interesting 4 years. And JU will have all of it collected so that later on we can say “I told you so”.

It won't take long before they try to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Obama saying this just shows how much of an idiot he really is.

This should come as no shock to anyone.  How many other candidates have called out Celebrities during the election?  Obama called out Hannity.  He was only demonstrating his lack of brains, not his grasp of the subject matter.

You guys just love talking to yourselves in your own little world, insulated from reality. Face it, you're simply a whacked out segment of the 22 percent of this country that’s represented by Bush's Final Approval Rating. No reasonable person would give any credence to the rabid drivel that's spouted on this site on a daily basis other than as an interesting source of comic relief. You guys are funnier than most sitcoms on TV today.

One of the reasons that Obama did not win in a landslide, was because liberals always miss the forrest for the trees.  WHile there are undoubtably some of the 22% here, it is far from the major voices you hear on JU.  And hardly a majority of the conservative ones.m  Far from Rabid drivel, this site is sane - if you are.  I am sure you think there is more sanity on du.org, or moveon, huffingtonpost, smirking chimp.  Still, I have yet to see the hate, vitriol and out right death wishes posted any where on here that even a quick perusal of the other sites shows to be the norm at the other sites.

But go ahead and live in your fantasy land.  WHen they come for you, there will be no one left to speak up for you either.

Don't recall ever hearing a word from Bush or his staff, or McCain or his staff, publicly calling out any specific leftist columnist or opiner; not even Olberman, Matthews or Maddow.  Reason is real simple - Republicans, who actually believe in free speech, have no desire to stifle opposing opinions.  No desire to subsidize them, either, BTW, which is a separate reason to oppose the so-called Fairness Doctrine (better named the Soros-&-Friends-Are-Tired-Of-Pissing-Away-Millions-&-Want-The-Taxpayers-to-Pay-For-Their-Propaganda Doctine).

Everyone lives in their own reality, I in mine and you in yours. Since each of us is convinced of the rightness of our point of view, neither of us can be objective enough to determine which is reality and which is fantasy. Most truth lies somewhere in between. If you can't admit to the fact that there's some possibility, however so slight, that it's you that might be wrong, then you can never be right. That is the critical element missing from this site. Everyone is convinced of the total certainity of their opinion and the total fantasy of anything that disagrees with that opinion.

That's just a bald-faced lie and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise. :*

OK so you're not part of *that* particular whacked out minority. I'll leave it to you to define *which* whacked out minority you do belong to.

I belong to the whacked out minority called taxpayers, i.e. people who mostly didn't vote for Obama.

Exactly; that's the hallmark of a good conservative....they're open to other input, as long as it makes sense and holds with the facts at hand.

It's liberals who aren't open to facts and common sense. Witness global warming hysteria in a season of record low temperatures and snowfalls. It snowed in Dubai, for God's sake! The funny part---when it isn't just sad, that is---is that when you try to present other facts, they'll simply dimiss what you say.

I had that experience with two GW-devotees at work. I pointed out the insanely low temps (it was literally, like 2 degrees outside at that time) and snow, and was informed that this was clear proof of the global warming fact! I tried to argue, telling them a few things I knew, and was completely dismissed, utterly out of hand. They just didn't want to hear any facts pointing the other direction. It was the first experience I'd had with the "global warming as religion" thing.

That's what amazes me about liberals; they would rather believe bad news, than to hear anything that may infer that it isn't happening.

Really? I suppose you could be right and I just never happened to notice. But then I don't come to this site all that often, perhaps you could point out an example?

[edit] But I suppose this a self fulfilling prophecy since you can merely claim any lack of an example is simply because you can find no case where your definition of what makes sense and what in your interpretation is fact are actually meet. But wouldn't this in and of itself reinforce my opinion that at this site the right is always right and the left is always wrong? I guess that’s why they call it “right”. [/edit]
