In a move that can only be described as 21st century McCarthyism, Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group of investors seeking to by the St. Louis Cardinal’s NFL franchise. According to his former partners, his involvement has become a distraction. It has only become a distraction because the mainstream media made it a distraction.
According to the folks at CNN, The Treason Times and the rest of the alphabet networks, Limbaugh is a racist. Of course their calls are without merit and actually border on slander. I wonder if there would have been the same reaction had avowed racists such as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton attempted to by an NFL franchise. I thought so; again exposing the hypocrisy of modern day liberals.
The entire brouhaha stems from an ESPN stint Limbaugh did in 2003 during which he said, "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well." I’m not sure why there was an outcry because this statement is fact. The NFL has a history of kowtowing to race pimps, in particular when it comes to quarterbacks and coaches. Of course, this statement sparked the ire of a liberal who was outraged that anyone dare exercise their first amendment rights and Limbaugh was fired.
Clearly what we are seeing today is a push by the radical left to ostracize a successful conservative voice of reason. Liberals hate Limbaugh because he is successful and they cannot understand how he has become the most listened to voice on the airwaves. As is evidenced by their patronizing of real Americans with their actions on the healthcare and illegal alien fronts, they don’t understand that they are the minority. Whether you like Limbaugh or not, the fact remains that he voices what most true patriots think, but are afraid to say.
We don’t like excessive government and believe that it is the root of all problems facing this nation. This is a factual statement to which there is no rebuttal. We live our lives according to the principles established by our forefathers, placing family and God above all else. Again, there is no refuting this. We are outraged at the massive power grabs by the current administration and his axis of evil in Congress; again, there is no disputing this fact either.
What we truly should be concerned about are people like Limbaugh getting persecuted by those who disagree with his positions. Even more concerning are the lies and distortions being perpetuated by the media. My hope is that Limbaugh strikes back with every weapon in his arsenal against everyone at every network who is vilifying him. He needs to seek monetary damages because this persecution has hit him squarely in the bankroll.
For the first time, liberals may have overstepped their bounds. For years they have persecuted those who expressed positions to which they disagreed. However, this rarely resulted in monetary damages; until now. Perhaps Limbaugh can get the ball rolling and we can eventually file a class action lawsuit against all the mainstream media outlets for the damages and intentional infliction of emotional distress they, and the administration that they elected, have inflicted upon America because there is no question we are suffereing economically from their agenda; at least those who work for a living and pay their taxes…you know, the folks that didn’t vote for Obama.
