Rush Limbaugh anti-American statements

If I were to dedicate my site to the ramblings of talk radio, both liberal and conservative, ST would have hundreds of pages. Sometimes though, they cross the line and I think it is only right that we give our views to prevent the nonsense that come out of this.

Here is the actual quote : “Lets step back for a moment and examine situations where (President) Obama has found success … (President) Obama’s success begins and ends with corrupting the voting process… bids are taken for NFL owners to vote on new owners, … Votes for the Nobel Peace Prize, packing boards of directors, General Motors and Chrysler, legislation in Congress … the Democrat(ic) Caucus votes during the primaries, and the November elections. Anytime the vote is involved, (President) Barack Obama or his proxies would stop at nothing to de-legitimize the voting process… Corruption int the voting process is the one constant to (President Obama’s success..”

When Rush Limbaugh bull-shits that President Obama is the reason he can’t buy the St. Louis Rams, I think it was okay. If I were the Nobel committee, I would sue his show, but I think his false comments are not an issue. Neither do I care about his fact free speech about the GM and Chrysler.

But when he suggested that the democratic election of President Obama was a fraud, he crossed the line big time. That was way over the top. What he was suggesting was that the President’s leadership in America was not legitimate, as every time he goes to the polls and he wins, it had to be done fraudulently.

Our country is the greatest country in the world And one of the reasons for that is our brand of Democracy which we have exported to the rest of the world. You take that away and America is nothing. No democracy, no freedom. It is as simple as that.

So when Rush Limbaugh attacks that fabric of our nation, I do not think he is forgivable. For him to go out and suggest that the President cheated his way to election victory is undermining the democratic process. His words are bordering on being treasonous.

If the President cheated his way through the Democratic Caucus, wouldn’t then-Senator Hillary Clinton would voice out her objection? If he cheated his way through the Presidential election, won’t Senator John McCain voice it out? Is Rush Limbaugh thinking that everybody here is complicit?

By saying that the President cheated himself to victories, he is not only slapping the face of President Obama and his supporters, he is slapping the face of President Obama’s opponents as well. Because of that, I felt that his comments are necessary to debunk.

The election victory of President Obama was no fluke. It cannot be questioned, like President Bush’s victory in 2000 and Senator Al Franken’s election victory in 2008. Even in those two situations, the candidates won by law and we must respect both decisions. President Obama on the other hand won 52.9% of the popular vote, the largest since President George H.W Bush. How can that vote be fraudulent?

I know that there are people out there that would not buy any of this. Just like there were Democrats that could never accept President George Bush as their President. But the fact is the fact. President Obama is the legitimate President of the United States of America.

I seriously wonder sometimes, how does Rush Limbaugh get away with the words he say. Many a times they are outright racist, and many a times they are in just terrible taste. He better be glad that I am not the President…

Obama Nobel prize win; world’s love story with Obama

Unexpectedly remarkable! I know nobody that had predicted President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Most shockingly, he won it within 10 months of being President and weeks after he got the nomination.

The first reason that I can think of when they gave the award, was the love story the world had and still has with President Obama. Even though the Republicans think that his foreign standing is diminished after the Olympics “fiasco”, the fact is that President Obama is really loved internationally. You can forget anyone trying to throw a shoe at him internationally.

They also respect the manner he brought our country from having a unilateral foreign policy to a multilateral ones. In all frankness, this is something that is very unique about President Obama. The world has often viewed American foreign policy as one that is full of arrogance even though we literally rebuilt the world after World War 2. That ended with President Obama.

Another reason for his victory could be the reaction the right wing has given him. The sheer lack of respect is disgusts them. The world is stunned when they see people carrying racist signs becoming a part of the opposition to President Obama. Most countries, particularly the developed ones, have universal health-care and they loathe it when the opposition go around spreading BS like death panels and rationing health-care.

I am not saying that there are no merits for the President’s victory. He has done more to get rid the world of nuclear weapons more than any in history. His mere presence alone was enough to heal the division between the Muslim world and the West. He made America lovable once more. He became a world icon because he speaks well and his stance on the issues, to the world in general, are the right ones. To put it simply, the world is in sync with President Obama’s mentality and issues.

There are some factors of him winning the Nobel prize that are of question. For one, how can a person who is running 2 wars be winning the penultimate peace prize? Other than all the talk, what has the President really accomplished? He cannot even take on the Republicans on issues like health-care, how in the world is he going to take on China and Iran? However, until I see the rest of the short-list, I would not take the victory from the President.

I am also blown away by the official Republican reaction. Why can’t they have the reaction that Senator McCain had? Why can’t we be proud that our President has won the peace prize? Why can we see the President as American, not as a Democrat? If President Bush (43) won the same prize, I would laugh and think that it was a joke, but I would not go around hating it. He was my President, the head of state of my country. I think that it is utterly disgraceful, the manner the wing-nut Republicans hate this and how some love it when Chicago lost the Olympic bid..

Lastly, I think that this would be of no effect to President Obama’s presidency at all. It is not going to help him ensure that Virginia remains blue, it is not going to help him get health care reform the way he wants it, etc. It is, after all the talk, ineffectual to Americans. It could be helpful if he wants to run as the General Secretary of the UN, but we do not give a freak about our President winning the Nobel Prize.
