Rush Limbaugh Wins Dance Contest

January has been a pretty good month for conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh,
First Air America goes belly-up. (Not that they were any competition.)
Now, he wins a dance contest for the judges at the Miss America pageant.
Is there anthing that the Doctor of Democracy can’t do?

Limbaugh told his listeners of his win on Friday:

“Last night was the final night of the preliminaries. Last night’s emcee was Dena Blizzard, comedienne from New Jersey. She involved, off the cuff, us six judges. She said, “You know, it’s time for us to judge the judges.”

Limbaugh did a dance routine he calls the Jersey fist bump, and was called up to the stage as the winner.

What’s next Rush, Dancing With The Stars?

Liberals Suffer Over Death Of A Friend

There’s an old saying that sometimes people express grief in unusual ways.
Rage, for instance, is one of them.
And right now the liberal loonies are going through a period of rage.
They recently suffered the death of one of their own.
(Truth be told, it was really the only one.)
Liberal talk radio outlet Air America.

Last week, Air America announced its official closure and intention to file Chapter 7. 
For those who had been following news surrounding the weeping willow of talk radio, this was no surprise.  While making a thin-kid splash with pseudo-celebrities back in 2004, the liberal network had a rocky history, replete with scandal, two bankruptcies and acquisitions.

Last week, Big Journalism’s James Hudnall reminded readers that Air America’s problems are not new.  According to Hudnall, “After a scandal involving misappropriated funds from black school children it promptly filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy two years later. Franken, Rhodes and Garofalo abandoned ship.”  (Come to think of it, perhaps that last part wasn’t so bad after all).

While Air America’s demise is surely a sad day for the precious few  who enjoyed leftist radio programming, there’s no need for liberal lamentations.  The left still dominates Hollywood, the university system and mainstream media, where adherents can find ongoing solace and a sympathetic informational stream – a triangular dominance of sorts.

Air America Is Off The Air…Again

Over the next few weeks, we can expect to hear liberal members of Congress and the media once again begin clamoring for a return of the “Fairness Doctrine.”

That’s because, once again, Air America has gone belly up.

Air America, which  was supposed to be a liberal alternative to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, suddenly went off the air on Thursday and is filing for bankruptcy.

This is the second time in four years that the microphones at Air America have gone silent.

And liberals will be proclaming that we need to renew the Fairness Doctrine so that those on the political left have a voice in talk radio.

However, they continue to ignore one basic point that we here at the Freedom Medium have outlined time and time again:

The reason liberal talk radio stations are not successful is because no one listens!

The federal government can pass all of the laws it wants forcing radio stations to air programming with a liberal point of view, but if such a format doesn’t attract an audience, it will also fail to attract advertising revenue.

Of course, liberals will try and place the blame somewhere else.

In a statement on the shutdown, Air America blamed the “very difficult economic environment” for it’s demise.

That news will surely be a shock to Rush Limbaugh, who has people standing in line waiting to spend their advertising dollars on his program.

Why Did God Do This To Liberals?

There is a reason why many liberals don’t believe in God.

It’s because he has been unfair to them.

He gave something to the rest of us that liberals don’t have.

It’s the only conclusion I can come to.

In thinking over some basic liberal beliefs, the only logical conclusion is that liberals are missing a few brain cells, mainly the ones that give the rest of us common sense and prevent us from being hypocrites.

Otherwise, how can they believe the following?:

That Al Gore is a hero for speaking out against global warming.
As he leaves his home, which has the highest energy consumption in the state, boards a private jet, and then takes a limo to wherever he is promoting his dogma.

Liberals applaud the ACLU for fighting for the rights of the average American.
While they overlook the fact that the ACLU wages war against such traditions as the Boy Scouts of America, the NRA, Christmas, and numerous other decent and moral things.
The fact that the ACLU lobbies for the “rights” of terrorists and provides legal representation to such groups as the North American Man-Boy Love Association doesn’t bother a liberal in the least.

Liberals support abortion on demand.
And they oppose the death penalty.

Liberals feel that it is fine for such experts as Danny Glover, Sean Penn, George Clooney and the like to air their views on American political policies.
But when Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter or Glenn Beck share their thoughts, they should be restricted by a “Fairness” Doctrine.

Liberals openly support gay rights parades.
Yet feel that Christmas Nativity scenes should be illegal.

That “racial profiling” of Muslims is wrong.
But that returning war vets are “potential domestic terrorists.”

That it’s fine for a kid to bring a book about Adolph Hitler or Karl Marx to school.
Yet that a kid carrying a Bible should be expelled.

That Fox News is nothing more that an offshoot of the Republican Party.
And that Keith Olbermann, Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, etc. simply report the news without any personal bias.

Liberals will cite the U.S. Constitution when they speak about the “separation of church and state.
Despite the fact that that phrase is not included in the Constitution.

Liberals believe that Barack Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
In spite of the fact that he has done nothing to earn it, and he was only in office for a month or two when he was nominated.

They believe Obama and Pelosi when they say that universal health care will lead to a reduction in the federal deficit.
They never ask how insuring the (supposedly) 45 million Americans without health insurance will make money.

Liberals will repeatedly bash Judaism and Christianity.
But they become angry if they hear anyone say anything bad about Islam.

So the next time you hear a liberal spouting off with some stupid statement, try and keep in mind that it’s not entirely their fault.

The CHANGE Obama Promised Has Arrived. Or Has It?

This weekend we will be bringing you a series of articles that may escape your notice otherwise, but that we feel are important enough that you should know about them.
This article examines if the change that President Obama promised us has happened yet.
Seems like business as usual to us.
Or worse.

In the year since he was elected president, Barack Obama has revealed himself as one of the boldest leaders to occupy the Oval Office in the modern era.

 In that same year, Obama also has revealed himself to be an innately self-protective, constantly calibrating and, in some surprising ways, supremely conventional politician.

 So who is Barack Obama? The drama of this presidency — in sharp relief with Wednesday’s one-year anniversary of his 2008 triumph — revolves around how Obama navigates his own contradictions.

 Obama turns out not to be a Bill Clinton-style centrist or a Paul Wellstone-style liberal. His plans for health care and his trillion-plus dollars in new spending have earned the ire of Rush Limbaugh for being too grandiose and of Arianna Huffington for not being grandiose enough.

 Obama is the president as grand improvisationalist: a leader of epic ambitions who — when faced with a difficult choice — almost always pursues his aims with a pedestrian strategy and style.

This may be a shrewd approach to governing. But it manages almost by definition to defy and disappoint the huge — and wildly divergent — expectations Obama encouraged supporters to harbor for his presidency.

Rush Limbaugh Declares “Obama Is In Over His Head.”

Rush Limbaugh, in a rare television interview, gives voice to what may of us have suspected all along.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh warned in a TV interview of unprecedented “radical leadership” in the White House and called President Barack Obama a narcissist who is “immature, inexperienced, in over his head.”Limbaugh, who regularly rails against the administration in his weekday radio program, said the health care overhaul working through Congress would become “the biggest snatch of freedom and liberty” ever seen in the United States.

In an interview taped for “Fox News Sunday” nearly a year after the presidential election, Limbaugh derided Obama’s recent visit to Dover Air Force Base to observe the return of 18 service members’ remains from Afghanistan. He called it a “photo op” designed to “create the impression that he has all of this great concern” while he dithers over a new strategy for the 8-year-old war.

“He really has no experience running anything. He’s very young. I think he’s got an out-of-this-world ego. He’s very narcissistic. And he’s able to focus all attention on him all the time,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh often calls Obama a “man-child president” on his syndicated radio show. “That description is simply a way to cut through the noise and say he’s immature, inexperienced, in over his head,” he said in the TV interview.

In response, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said, “It’s a surreal day when you’re getting lectures on humility from Rush Limbaugh,” and he dismissed Limbaugh as “an entertainer.”

Axelrod said he believes most Americans appreciate Obama’s visit to Dover Air Force Base and called it appropriate.

The Day Obamacare Died: Obama Concedes The Death Of Health Care Reform

What caused the death of Obamacare?

Some will claim it was the actions of Tea Party attendees.

Others will say it was people speaking out against health care “reform” at town hall meetings.

Perhaps, as happened when Hillary Clinton tried a similar scheme when Bill was President, the more facts that people learned about the plan, the less they liked it.

It might have been the failure of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to gain the support of the “Blue Dog Democrats.”

Radio talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh, spending hundreds of hours revealing the hidden details, may have been a factor.

Rationed care, euthanasia counseling, an enormous pricetag, and the fact that some numbskull who couldn’t get a job at the DMV was now going to be deciding your medical treatment also entered into the equation.

Regardless of the reasons, at least President Obama left us a reminder of his eforts:

You Can See How Government-Run Healthcare Works RIGHT NOW!

This is for all of you, the town hall protesters that Nancy Pelosi calls Nazis, as well as all the (declining) members of the Kool-Aid Brigade.

I say declining members because just as when the Clinton’s tried ramming health care “reform” down our throats years ago, the more people learn of the details of this legislation, the people who support it grow less and less.

But I digress.

If you truly want to learn how well the government will run health care, you need to look no further than the Veterans Administration.

Pay a visit to a local VA hospital, talk to the patients, look around, and you will find that the level of (or lack of) services delivered will make you sick!

And if that doesn’t convince you that putting the government in charge of our medical treatment is a recipe for disaster, consider the following:

The leading liberal newspaper in the United States, The New York Times, reported a story of veterans at an Albany NY VA medical center who were subjected to experimental cancer treatments under the supervision of a man who was posed as a doctor, when in actuality he was not a licensed physician.
Calling Doctor Mengle.
Click Here to read the report.

Want to talk about a different kind of abuse?

Let;s consider the case of former VA doctor Robert Ratcliff, who, upon learning he was under investigation for defrauding the Department of Veterans Affairs, felt that he didn’t want to explain his actions, and before investigators closed in, purged all his records and destroyed his computer’s hard drive.
You can read more about that case here.

How about a surgeon with a history of alcohol abuse performing knee surgery while intoxicated, and botching the operation?
Does it give you some idea of the level of indifference to the patient’s well being it takes to have a hospital staff not stop a man from performing surgery while he is drunk?
You really think that something like this won’t happen under Obamacare?
Click Here to read about the drunk doctor.

Need some more proof that you are handing your health care over to disciples of the Doctor Of Death?
How about the deaths of over 100 patients of the VA due to botched colon, breast and prostate cancer experimental treatments  with the vets acting as human guniea pigs?
Read about it here.

Think you’ll receive a fair hearing (if you’re still alive) if something like this happens, or if you are denied treatment under Obamacare?
You have a better chance of seeing Nancy Pelosi and Rush Limbaugh splitting an ice cream sundae.
Veterans filing claims against VA hospitals see their claims rejected by a three to one ratio.
Read about it here.

Still think that under a government run program that you will receive, at the very least, adequate medical care?
Ready to bet your life on it?
Before you answer, read the story of one vet who compared his doctors to Mafia killers’
Calling Doctor Tony Soprano.

Are you willing to be treated by a doctor who, under government supervision, was responsible for the deaths of at least nine patients? And his supervisors continued to overlook his lack of credentials?
Not THAT guy. I don’t want to die!

If government run health care is such a good thing, explain the existence of the Veterans Affairs Whistleblower Coalition, after you have read their letter to the Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee.

Finally, I can speak from experience just how inefficent government run health care is.

My father, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, had himself admitted to a VA hospital because he was experiencing pain and swelling in his legs.
He wound up being there for over three months, and when I would visit him he would remark about how it did not seem that the doctors there were doing anything for him, and their refusal to discuss his symptoms in any detail, a sentiment I heard echoed by the other vets in the ward regarding thier own health issues.

I never had the chance to learn why my father was discharged from the VA hospital.

Because on a Friday they decided to send him home.
And on Saturday he died.

Yes, reform of America’s health care system is needed.
And those of you not totally blinded by ideology should be at the very least concerned by the treatment that our country’s veterans receive before we rush to fix a system that really isn’t broken, just needs some fine tuning.

And you have to pause and ask yourselves that if the government has such problems with running a health care system that has been established for decades, maybe we need to slow down a little before we hand over even more decisions about our medical treatment to federal bureaucrats.

And for those of you who will claim that I am citing isolated incidents, if you can’t take off your rose colored glasses long enough to see that these are only a few cases of the neglect, fraud and incompetence that goes on, and that we need to slow down and make sure we get this right, think about this.

Those of us who want the government to start over and deliver sensible and effective health care reform have something in common (about the only thing) with the folks who advocate for stricter gun control laws:

“If it saves one life, it’s worth it.”

Vote For Your Favorite Barack Obama Theme Song

Little ditties have long been a part of Presidential campaigns, but I don’t think there has ever been a actual theme song for a President before.

We HOPE to CHANGE that.

After all, a man who is dedicating his term of office to vastly increasing the federal defecit, increasing the taxes we pay for utilities, providing planned euthansia under the guise of health care, and generally is working as hard as he can to turn the United States into his vision of a Socialist utopia, it seems that the least we can do is honor the man with his own song.

And in the spirit of democracy, (while it still exists), we are going to ask our readers to pick the winner.

Our first nominee is from early in the Barack administration:

We owe a hat tip to our friend The Pencil Minstrel for the second choice.
This song is also a nominee for the Domestic Tranquility Act.

It is only fitting that our last nominee comes to us courtesy of our good friend, the Doctor of Democracy, Rush Limbaugh.

So there you have it, we have tried to include every point of view.

If you are a fan of Obama’s tactics of trying to discredit or destroy anyone who stands in his way, vote for number one.

If you are a member of the Kool-Aid Brigade, still delusional enough to think that Obama has your best interests at heart, vote for number two.

Finally, if you are what Nancy Pelosi calls a Nazi because you are arrogant enough to ask questions, and demand answers about the health care reform bill, vote for number three.
