Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

As Rush keeps signing bigger and bigger contracts the DNC run NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, and the rest of the OLD MEDIA take a dive. I LOVE IT!

I can’t believe you didn’t play the entire Rush clip on what he really said during that show. How stupid do you think people are? I guess because Bush is gone who else do you lefties have to beat up now?

From Rush at CPAC:
I want the best country we can have. We want the most prosperous people. We want to be growing. We want to lead the world. We want everybody to come here legally. We want this country to be so damn great and we just cringe to watch it — basically capitalism be assaulted and our culture be reoriented to where the people that make it work are the enemy. That’s not the United States of America. The people that make this country work, the people who pay on their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they’re not the enemy.
They’re the people that hire you. They’re the people that are going to give you a job. They’re the people that are going to give you a raise, the people that need you to do work for them. [Applause] President Obama, and take your pick of any Democrat, love to say we’ve tried it your way. Meaning Reaganism. We’ve tried it your way. We tried it your way in the ’80s and it didn’t work. We tried it your way eight years, the last eight years and it didn’t work.
When Obama talks about past economies, he somehow always leaves out the (Carter) recession of the ’80s as worse than this one. Why does he leave it out? Because you know why he leaves it out, America? He leaves it out because we got out of that recession with tax cuts. We got out of the 1980s recession with tax cuts.
Do you know that President Obama, in six weeks of his administration, has proposed more spending than from the founding of the country to his inauguration?
Now, this is not prosperity. It is not going to engender prosperity. It’s not going to create prosperity and it’s also not going to advance or promote freedom. It’s going to be just the opposite. There are going to be more controls over what you can and can’t do, how you can and can’t do it, what you can and can’t drive, what you can and can’t say, where you can and can’t say it. All of these things are coming down the pike, because it’s not about revenue generation to them, it’s about control. They do believe that they have compassion. They do believe they care. But, see, we never are allowed to look at the results of their plans, we are told we must only look at their good intentions, their big hearts. The fact that they have destroyed poor families by breaking up those families by offering welfare checks to women to keep having babies no more father needed, he’s out doing something, the government’s the father, they destroy the family. We’re not supposed to analyze that. We’re not supposed to talk about that. We’re supposed to talk about their good intentions. They destroy people’s futures. The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It’s not change, and it’s not hope. [Applause] Spending a nation into generational debt is not an act of compassion.
All politicians, including President Obama, are temporary stewards of this nation. It is not their task to remake the founding of this country. It is not their task to tear it apart and rebuild it in their image.

How convenient of you to forget that conservative-base media are bleeding cash as well. To use your phraseology, the “RNC-run NY Post, Washington Times, Fox News, and the rest of the FIXED MEDIA take a dive.” In fact, Rupert’s News Corp. lost BILLIONS last year.
Idiot.

Rush Limbaugh blathered: “It is not their task to tear it apart and rebuild it in their image.”
President Obama tear the country apart? Uh, I don’t know how to tell you this, dear self-proclaimed doctor of democracy, the country was already torn apart long before President Obama took office, thanks to your beloved Great Decider and his “you either with us or for the terrorists” philosophy.
President Obama has no choice but to rebuild our country after everything Bush/Cheney and the GOP did to destroy us and get us in the mess we’re in today.
You Dittoheads are so incredibly clueless. Megadittoes, blockheads!

Hey Orlando….Is the President of GE on Obama’s advisory staff? And who is GE working with? mmm NBC. Can Obama actually appoint a cabinet member who isn’t a lobbyist or a tax fraud? This isn’t what Obama promised when he was reading off a tele prompter last year. If he gets his way the govenment will give you everything. But remember if they are large enough to give it to you they are large enough to take it away.

Yes, he is. And see how much Jeffery Immelt’s leadership has done for GE’s stock value. Obama must plan to do the same for America’s economy.
