Rush Limbaugh Ashamed of His Country (Full Text)

Radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, commented on his radio program “I am ashamed of my country” on Thursday morning. The rant have gone viral and even caused his web site to crash from all of the traffic. Here is what he had to say.

***
Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country. To be watching all of this, to be treated, to have my intelligence, all of us to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it’s being, is — it just makes me ashamed.

Seriously, man, I mean, they get worked up over$44 billion, that’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year. And in truth, we’re going to spend more this year than we spent last year. We’re just not going to spend as much as was projected. It’s all baseline budgeting, there is no real cut below a baseline of zero, there just isn’t.

And yet, here they come, sucking us in, roping us in, panic here, fear there, crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control. I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all this are over. We have the media play along with all this. The ruling class, both parties play along with all this. It’s insulting, I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m into my 25th year. I can’t tell you the number of times — this hit me yesterday, I’ve said the same things over and over for 25 years, that whether it’s the Clinton presidency, or the Obama presidency, whether it’s a Pelosi speakership or Tom Foley who was speaker when I started. It’s the same stuff. It’s the same threats, it’s the same arguments over and over. Nothing ever changes. We just keep spending more money. We create more dependency. We get more and more irresponsible, one crisis to the next, all of them manufactured except for the real crisis which nobody ever addresses and that is, we can’t afford any of this.
