Rush Limbaugh - Caller: Why Don't You Guys Sacrifice

[Apache4Justice]

How funny he completely dances around the question with nothing but Bluster.But then again,Rush is an Entertainer,NOTHING MORE, He has SAID SO

,yet people STILL BELIEVE the crap he spits out!!WHO REALLY is the idiot?Answer:those who believe anything Rush or the rest of his ilk spit out!

[WhO0P4]

@Apache4Justice he answered the question if you were paying attention. Oh but wait, your intention is to critisize him regardless.

[kingandybrown]

I'm glad you enjoy the peace and security your military provides. Sorry ass war mongering POS.

[conradpilapil]

@kingandybrown Thanks.. we pay a high price for it.. so yes, we do enjoy our peace and security! I myself just got out of the Marine Corps.. a fine military group.. none finer in the world in my opinion, and in histories opinion also might I add...

Again.. thanks.

[kingandybrown]

@conradpilapil

I sincerely honor and appreciate your service. I just swore in to the US Army myself and I'm very excited to get to serve as a 68W combat medic. I wont hesitate to answer my nation if called upon but I hate people like Rush pine who for war when they never had the nuts to step up and serve themselves. I really am glad he appreciates his peace and security but these wars don't pay for themselves. People like him need to be prepared to step up and help share the burden IMO.

[conradpilapil]

@kingandybrown I'm glad you will be serving.. you will be joining a very small few in our country. I don't think he pines for war.. I listen to him regularly, thus giving me a larger data to pull my opinion of him from.  This call was specifically concerning "shared sacrifice" If anyone wants to help by sharing sacrifice, fine, but it is another to state that we all "should." I served because I wanted to and maybe some will not have to because of that, but that was not my reason.

[conradpilapil]

I love how you libs change the subject when you are losing. You guys pick a subject, I challenge, prove you wrong.. then you change the subject... in the battlefield of ideas, liberals always lose. Self reliance, independence, the right to chose for myself, (conservative ideas) vs reliance on the government, dependence on government, and government deciding for me (liberal ideas).. its pretty simple.

[conradpilapil]

Ah.. always nice to hear a liberal point in there place.. now go back and suck on your thumb.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil "there's a reason somebody makes $25 million and there's a reason somebody makes $25,000, and it's not the guy who makes $25 million's fault. "

if you actually believe this get the hell out of politics

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins yes I believe this.. and I love politics.. because people like you think its the rich peoples fault the some are poor.. truly ignorant. In general, poor people are poor because of poor choices in their lives. Spare me the "what if someone was born into a poor family" crap.. I was one.. and through HARD WORK I'm now in the top 35% in the nation income wise. I'll not make top 1%, but hope my kids will..

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil "In general, poor people are poor because of poor choices in their lives."

Nope.

"I was one.. and through HARD WORK I'm now in the top 35% in the nation income wise."

Cool, having fun being one of the mere 5% of people who move up?

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins yes thank you very much! I've worked hard for it. It was not handed to me. I'm very proud of it.. and hope to do better next yer.. I have a lot of work to do to make that happen. My job is 100% commission, it scares a lot of people with no drive.. but from what I see, I'm paid what I'm worth! And believe me.. some people are not even worth $5 an hour.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil "Individuals are more likely to mainƒƒtain wealth than to attain wealth: Over a 15-year to 20-year period, less than 5 percent of those who were in the bottom wealth quartile (less than $5,767 in 1984) moved up to the top, while 58 percent of those who were in the top wealth quartile (at least $114,563 in 1984) stayed there."

There you go. Almost no one moves wealth brackets in a significant way.

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins This is true.. so get a second job.. God knows I did.. hell, at one point, I had 3 jobs at the same time. Almost no one moves wealth brackets significantly.. true.. the questions is WHY!? I came from a poor family from the Philippines, finished High School, did 120+ hours of college before dropping out, but have steadily improved my economic status, Graph my economic status you will find where I dipped down, but over all up. Self drive buddy.. some have it.. some not so much.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil i like how you deleted all your replies to me after my responce

guess you realized you were wrong

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins no.. I was deleting my inbox stuff.. did not know that deleted my responses here..?? My replies are here.. still, I can read them.. not sure what you are talking about? Regardless, conservative values are never wrong.. liberal values.. ALWAYS wrong.. all you have to do is look at history.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil I can't see them!

And lmfao what fucking history are you looking at

racism? liberals won

suffrage? liberals won

unions? liberals won

safe work environments? liberals won

when did conservatives win anything

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins Wrong on all counts. liberals are proud of their stance on "separate but equal" Look up congressional records and you will find that Lib majorities voted to hold minorities back. Unions..?? are you serious? They are single-handedly destroying companies, which destroys states, then finally our country. (just look at lib states - CA, IL, MI, NY). Go learn before talking to me.. I really hate wasting time giving Libs a history lesson.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil "Unions..?? are you serious? They are single-handedly destroying companies"

yeah that 40 hour work week and safe jobs and vacation days and weekends and holidays really suck huh

"liberals are proud of their stance on "separate but equal""

are you stupid or willingly rewriting history

Also, a few questions for you:

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil Why is it when people hoard things, they're seen as weird, a scourge on society, etc- but when they hoard green slips of paper with numbers on it, they're job creators and idealized? In fact, aren't the true job creators the ones that BUY THINGS?

If you're a christian, both the 7 deadly sins and 10 commandments have no mention of being gay, abortions, etc- but greed is a big one. When did the religious party forget their own religion?

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins Greed is not good, we agree. Our system uses greed to advantage. Exp: I want to sell you my pencil for 2 million dollars (because you need one and I have one to sell) You think I'm greedy for asking that much and you want to spend as little as possible.. your greed. Thus.. we come to a market selling price of $1.25. My greed vs your greed = free market. Its human.. utopia does not exist, we must deal with reality. - then check charities of libs vs consevatives. :)

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil When did the right to unlimited profit for one individual become more important than the right of the general welfare of the people?

Why is physical labor less valuable than sitting behind a desk, trading sheets of paper saying you own pieces of various companies?

Why should people who inherit their money not pay taxes, and those who earn it pay taxes at the highest rate?

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins The right of the general welfare means differently to you than to myself. To me general welfare does not mean equal outcome. You and I can do the exact same thing, and one of us will come out better (economically) regardless. Now, If I try and kill you to not have competition, then the gov. must step in. Investments grow companies, stifle this and you hurt labor. I've never work for a poor man.. that is a true statement.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil so then you're implying all poor people are lazy then

yeah you don't even know what you're talking about if that's the case

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins lol.. yeah.. that is what I said.. man people like you are stupid. I was born in the Philippines had dirt as my floor, boards as my wall and a tin that was rusted for my roof .. you have no idea what poor is. You have no idea how far I've come. The poor that is not lazy will not be poor always. People come to the US poor from other nations and do well. Why, because the work hard, complain little, and save.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil if your statements about working hard and getting rich because of it were true, women in poor african countries carrying several gallons of water several miles several times daily would be trillionaires

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins no, we are talking about the working people in America! What are you talking about!?  Have you been so lost that you can't keep up!? No other place in the world exist the opportunity of prosperity like in the US. What is exceptional about is our way of life, and government. We are Capitalist, that value individuals over groups or community. America was made great due to individual greatness fostered by small government.

[bobmuffins]

@conradpilapil oh okay so now you're just going AMERICA FUCK YEAHHHHHH without actually thinking

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins no.. you don't seem to get it.. America is the only hope of lifting people out of poverty. So, yeah, AMERICA FUCK YEAHHH! (great movie by the way) - you don't seem to get the thought process or follow it.. can't blame you.. (your ideas of how it should work suck) you can't answer any of the things I've brought up. You just complain.. typical and expected from people like you.

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins Further, no nation under any other form of government that does not mirror capitalism has ever come close to the US. We have created the most wealth per capita, the highest standard of living, the greatest inventions ect. No nation has EVER taxed itself to prosperity! No Government that was draconian in size has EVER produced a nation of free peoples. Your ideas are nothing more than historical throw backs of socialism or worse - and we conservatives want none of it!

[conradpilapil]

@bobmuffins I bet you don't even know that the KKK was a HUGE part of the Dem party.. matter of fact the last KKK congressman just died.. I say less than 2 years ago (the exact date escapes me).. and your beloved Libs rallied talking about how great he was. You have no idea what you are talking about.. you just repeat the Lib crap:

Conservatives are:"racist, bigots, homophobes, and hate working people"..

I can bet you voted for this moron in office too... lol

[kingandybrown]

@conradpilapil

Old southern democrats, commonly known as "dixiecrats", are hardly considered liberal dude. The Democrats were big with racist southerners after the civil war, a very long time ago... the remnant of that being big like.. 30.. 40 years ago? You could hardly call them liberal just because they're in the democratic party.

[conradpilapil]

@kingandybrown Call them what ever you want, I don't care.. at least you know they are in the Democrats. One of their last KKK members in the Senate Robert Byrd just passed in 2010. Good riddance!!

[SecretGerms]

hmm... i wonder what jesus/god would have to say about rush saying that he "doesn't believe in sacrifice, period"... ?

what a fucking prick.

[SBRslacker00]

I haven't listened to Rush in so long I forgot how incoherent he is. LOL

Liberalism killing the U.S?! Rush, you ARE a liberal! What a dipshit.

The only thing worse is the idiots who lap up his shit. Talk about brain dead.

[Agmanellium]

If anyone has ever argued with a Rush fan, they know how frustrating it can be. My coworker is a dittohead and they follow the same pattern of "debate" as Rush. Watch this or any rush video and follow the twist and turns of the free association path rush takes away from the subject at hand. He says he will answer the question and then proceeds to reframe it in irrelevant terms by glomming on to a parenthetical detail that he coaxes out of the caller. He then turns paying for wars into defending

[wolfengheist]

Conservatives are MORE giving than liberals. FACT.

[Kaniela6759]

@wolfengheist  Very true! Libs believe charity comes at the point of a "gun" via the government which takes money from producers and gives it to takers. Conservs believe charity comes from the heart. However, the more the government takes, the less people will give from the heart.

[wolfengheist]

There was a study and book written about how Conservatives give more to charity than liberals . I guess the you know who's don't like facts.

[kropotkinbeard1]

@Kaniela6759 Yeah, "libs" are famous for thei supporting of wars, guns, WMD, etc...I mean, ALL the "libs" I know are pro all of these things. Uhh..The government ARE the people, duh. Are you writing from North Korea? The producers are the ones making things. The takers are the ones producing nothing and taking a far too large slice of what they haven't worked on making, other than to perhaps set up shop. The government i.e. the people, should take FAR more from the parasites who feed off them.

[Kakkerot86]

@wolfengheist agreed!

[wolfengheist]

You have to agree because it is a fact proven.

[dragonsder]

@wolfengheist

Saying "fact" after your statement doesn't make it any more credible. FACT.

[wolfengheist]

I know liberals are allergic to facts but here they are.

Google "Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.""

Liberals take, Conservatives give. FACT

[dragonsder]

@wolfengheist

I know, its just annoying as shit when somebody talks like that.

[kropotkinbeard1]

This guy is one of the most ignorant asses that I've ever heard in my life.

[Kaniela6759]

@kropotkinbeard1 What specific things did he say that you deem ignorant. It's economically sound. 

[kropotkinbeard1]

@Kaniela6759 Most every line out of his mouth. He's a buffoon. He simply knows nothing about that which he tries to speak. There are reasons people study things you see. Doctors go to medical school to learn how to be doctors. This goes for most other disciplines as well. Going to fast food restaurants, drinking too much, and talking loud simply doesn't qualify one to speak about politics. The question you should be asking yourself is how on earth you might think anything he says is correct.

[cmcneill60]

@kropotkinbeard1 amazing to me how the liberal mind thinks compared to the conservative,you call him an ass but i call him a genius who tells it the way it is,you are blind

[kropotkinbeard1]

@cmcneill60 Uhhh....You wouldn't know how "the liberal mind works" as you are a conservative, so this isn't really an issue. Rush IS an ignorant ass, and there is evidence all over the place which demonstrates this. However, being a conservative entails that you not even try to look at it. THIS is a defining difference between the left and right. ANd when you assert "You are blind", this is a basic example of projection. See any freshman psychology book, if you haven't burned them. Rush is dumbO

[logicaquebrada85]

@cmcneill60 Christian nation? Then follow these... 1 Timothy 6:10 Proverbs 28:25 Luke 12:15 1 Timothy 6:9 (oxycotin anyone?) Isaiah 57:17 NIV Acts 20:35 Proverbs 28:6 Luke 6:24-25 Matthew 19:24. Conservatives love their money and hate to hear that sharing is required as a contract of their faith, but of course they love to throw out other judgmental verses when it is convenient. Rush is a fool and so are those who are guided by him blindly. His will to scare the world is ungodly.

[heandc]

@logicaquebrada85 since you know the Bible so well, how about the passage,"if you say to someone thou fool you are in danger of hell fire"

[logicaquebrada85]

@heandc Aw, did I hurt your money clinching feelings by pointing out the hypocrisy of your idols? Don't fret, my soul will be fine. My life isn't based on forcing a distorted version of any faith on anybody else. I just enjoy how, despite separation of church and state, this is supposedly a "Christian nation" that doesn't have to follow his teachings so long as we use his name to pimp conservative ideology against minorities and the poor. I may have flaws, but I don't live a lie.

[wellsley117]

I have a totally differing view on sacrifice, but I do agree with what he's saying.

[dgonz26868]

Actually he (and the rich in general) sacrifice quite a bit, by paying federal & state income taxes that are more than most people will earn in their lifetime (86% of all income tax in the US).

[pjmgame]

@dgonz26868  Something that we ALL SO YOU FUCKING MORON!!!!!!!!!!

[dgonz26868]

@pjmgame "Something that we all so you fucking moron???" My my what an "articulate" "liberal" you are. I can't make heads or tails of what the hell you are trying to say. Sober up and try again...

[pjmgame]

@dgonz26868 LOL You do realize we all pay taxes. And you do realize that Consrvatives like Michael Savage and Mark Levin HATE Rush Limbaugh.
