Talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh is blasting the so-called economic stimulus plan of President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress, calling it an assault on capitalism intentionally designed to harm the private sector and lead to bigger government.
"This is a full-fledged attack on capitalism, and the leftists Democrats have been seeking this for the longest time," Limbaugh said on his program this afternoon. "That's why they can't stop themselves. It is Christmas morning every day for these people. There's nobody that can stop them." A question e-mailed to the host asked if the Democrats really understood that they're "destroying the source of the wealth they want to redistribute." Yes!" Limbaugh exclaimed. "These people are not uneducated and stupid. They know full well what they are doing. They are destroying the engine that creates wealth, the private sector, and they are turning it to the government." "If people are just left alone, a recession cannot happen in and of itself," he explained. "The whole point of people engaging in commerce is growth." Limbaugh said the economic downturn has not been caused by "the poor schlubs" in charge of banks, but rather "government spending, irresponsible orders from government to banks telling them they had to lend to people who had no business borrowing money." "Recessions are caused by intervention, obstruction, you name it. If left alone, economies do not go into recession." Limbaugh said there's already huge outrage growing among the public, and there would be a backlash against the Democrats when they're eventually ousted from control. "We're gonna turn the power of government against the Democrats and the left and weaken you and break you into little pieces. Because, my friends, the day has passed when we can become passive and be passive about what they are doing. We will use the political and legal system as they have and are, and we will use it to promote our party and diminish theirs." "We're gonna become activists," he added. "We'll take back our government. It's going to be a bigger, more powerful, stronger government and we're going to turn it against the left in ways they could have never imagined." Limbaugh suggested some of the possible action could be to implement a so-called "Fairness Doctrine" on television broadcasters, mandating equal time for "conservative" political views on TV, not just radio as Democrats have been discussing recently. He also said the political right would defund labor unions and community organizations such as ACORN, and use the entire power of the federal government to uproot "all of the criminal activity" among Democrats. "We're going to find every bit of corruption we can and we're going to sic the attorney general and the Justice Department and the U.S. attorneys on you people just as you have been doing to the people of the right and the Republican Party for 50 years," he said. He specifically mentioned probes of Democrat lawmakers such as Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, billionaire activist George Soros, as well as the entire Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lending organizations. "It's payback time," he said. http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88601 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
