Limbaugh: "Young People Have This Almost Romantic Attachment To Civil Rights, Civil Liberties"

http://mediamatters.org/video/2013/03/18/limbaugh-young-people-have-this-almost-romantic/193096

Conservative talking head Rush Limbaugh had this to say today about young people on his radio show, The Rush Limbaugh Show: "Young people have this almost romantic attachment to civil rights, civil liberties, emancipating people from oppression from liberty. The idea that such exists in thiss country offends me but it's able to be pushed and solved because education is this country is so woefully incompetent and inept."

Thanks for posting all those links.

I hope everyone checks them out.

Sickening isn't it ?

Why does President Obama get a pass ?

Bush started this shit storm and President Obama has kicked it into high gear.

I despised the Bush administration.

I am so disappointed in the Obama administration.

Look forward not backwards.

to a Democratic and equal process. It's the only thing that's stopping bloated plutocrats like HIM from EATING OUR CHILDREN FOR BREAKFAST.

It ain't 'romance,' but it DOES have to do with PASSION. Passion for SURVIVAL. We might have forgotten that during the easy days of the 1950s, 60s and 70s when life was reasonably good for the majority of the people. But when our existence is threatened, and the plutocrats are doing everything they can to turn us back into SERFS, we'll REMEMBER!
