Rush Limbaugh has been taking a beating by nearly everyone,
about his comments in January on his radio show, and then again in late
February in his keynote speech at CPAC (Conservative Political Action
Conference), where he expressed his hope for President Obama to fail. He’s even come under fire by prominent
conservatives, such as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael
Steele and even former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich said on Meet the Press, “You've got to want the president to succeed…You're irrational if
you don't want the president to succeed. Because if he doesn't succeed the
country doesn't succeed... I don't think anyone should want the president of
the United States to fail.”
He then goes on
to say, “ I want some of his policies to be stopped. But I don't want the
president of the United States to fail.”
I have always had a great deal of respect for Mr. Gingrich,
but honestly this is a ridiculous statement.
A President is defined by his policies and his agenda. To hope the President succeeds, is to hope
that his policies and agenda succeed.
The policies that President Obama is putting into place are
not new. They have been tried before and
they have never worked, at least not for helping an economy. These kinds of policies have worked however, for government expansion and the elimination
of the middle class.
Of all the things one could say about Obama, stupid isn’t
one of them. He knows full well what the
inevitable outcome to these kinds of policies will be. And yet he continues down this path. Since he is not stupid, that leaves only one
explanation, he is purposely trying to destroy our economy, eliminate the
middle class and augment the government into a Fascist Regime.
To hope that President Obama succeeds, is to hope for the
destruction of America.
I stand with Rush. I
hope the President fails. I hope he
fails abysmally. If he succeeds, we the
people lose.
As Rush pointed out on his show yesterday, we don’t have a
king. We have a system of government
that was designed with a separation of powers.
We don’t have one all-powerful person or office. Our system of government was designed to
insure that the president would fail, if he was wrong. And in this case, he is.
So I will go a step further; if President Obama does not fail, then we have strayed too far
from our original form of government and given way too much power to the
president.
For what it’s worth Mr. Limbaugh, as a typical white person,
who’s clinging to my God and my guns…I’m with you, I not only hope Obama fails,
I’m praying that he will.
