Rush Gets IT...Well Sort Of

Once again Rush Limbaugh nailed it when he went after the false premise that Insurance companies are in business to make certain you have health care.

Since when...? I'm gonna ask this again: Since when does a president have the power to threaten to issue a rule gutting religious liberty and then claims the power to make compromises on that issue?  This is how, folks, we lose our liberty.  This is how we lose the Constitution.  The suggestion that Obama has the power to alter that which he doesn't have the power to do in the first place, is simply unacceptable.  The first thing he does he doesn't have the power to do.  He doesn't have, constitutionally, the power to mandate that religious organizations provide -- free of charge or otherwise -- any abortion-related service with which they disagree.  He doesn't have the authority.  Then to supposedly correct it, he then engages in more authority that he doesn't have!

"Okay, tell you what: I'll tell the churches they don't have to do it."  It's none of his business what the churches do!  He doesn't have the authority to do any of this.  The very idea that Barack Obama has the power to alter that which he doesn't have the power to do in the first place? This is two exercises of power he doesn't have.  The first exercise is telling the churches what they have to do.  The second exercise of power is then changing what he told the churches they have to do.  There's no compromise, no negotiation.  There's no phony balance here.  Obama is simply not empowered to interfere with religious liberty.  No president is!

But then he says this about the women who was forced to not be able to fly home because of the TSA:

I'm not complaining at her by any means.  I'm hoping that people dig a little deeper and figure out what is happening to everyday liberty and freedom and realize who's responsible for taking it away from you -- it's the Democrat Party and Barack Obama -- and vote against them.  I've always said this program takes place in the reason of ideas.  What we want, the way we effect -- in my mind -- meaningful, lasting, substantive change is an informed electorate voting and changing the course of history.

Up until this point Rush was batting a thousand, but then he overlooked a couple of facts. Homeland Security came about in 2003 under the Republican Conservative President, George Bush. He also seemed to overlook the fact that TSA didn't arrive in President Obama's watch, but yet again, under George Bush in November of 2001.

So in conclusion, voting for Republicans because you think they will somehow shrink government is to simply lie to yourself. There is only one candidate that will fight tyranny and his name is Ron Paul.
