The other day, Rush Limbaugh made the following comments about the presidential election on his radio program:
I really think that the solution to our problems is not really political. I think conservatives are seen by young people and the Left and the pop culture the way they are not because of what these people have been taught about conservatism. It’s purely cultural.
I must confess, I think the solution will be found in ideology, but I must confess, I think I’ve been a little wrong. My only point here is I’m just scratching the surface on this, by the way, so I’m speaking off the top my head here, but I really think that the way this is going to have to be attacked and dealt with is not to set politics aside. I’m not saying that none of this is political, but it’s a cultural problem we face. The reason conservatives have been so maligned and are so maligned, the reason people who don’t know us think of us the way they do is not because they understand politics. It’s a cultural thing.

Never in my life have I donated to a politician until Mitt Romney. I believe he is a good man and would have been a good president. But seeing how confident and casual Obama was during the debates (the first debate was a hook) and the buffoonery of Biden, with no fear of party retaliation, as I said earlier, the fix was in. This is what America wants; celebrity and handouts; lies and manipulation; Hollywood and corruption; racism and sexism. We are Rome. Obama wanted division and he now has it. Benghazi will be tucked under the rug for the Republicans to be frustrated over because Obama and his gang will tell us it’s all in our heads. Obama will get away with everything because he is so good at it and he has so much help. Watch him dismantle our military before our eyes. Watch him and his black cohorts accuse Republicans of racism and sexism over Susan Rice’s lies. They are all in it together; this is Chicago politics at its best. This really is the Teflon administration. And Liberals are smug. If this is the “culture” we have to emulate, I want no part of it.
The Denver Post endorsed Obama again. This the enlightening column one of the mean spirited Liberal writers foisted off on us after the election.

I guess many of us knew this… even though i appreciate your courage in stating the obvious. The battles we choose must be more strategic, otherwise we will be further maligned and marginalized. I have stated to many of my conservative friends that some cultural issues are just not worthy of the amount of effort given to fight them.
For example, opposition to gay marriage, frankly I don’t really care care who marries who, it just doesn’t matter to me and in less than a generation it won’t matter to anyone else, just ask any teenager over the age of 15. The better tactic should be to encourage and support committed stable relationships between 2 people who love one another and desire to form a life together. My partner and I lead by example – we are out in the open and visible changing the view of what a gay couple is “supposed” to look like in a very conservative California town. Interestingly, we’ve been fully embraced by the conservative establishment.
The real prize in my opinion is focusing on limiting government reach into our lives – this is the problem since both parties to a certain extent see government solutions and the resultant expansion of bureaucracy as the only solution. For now, I am focused squarely on local politics, this is where we are going to have the most impact as conservatives. Changing hearts and minds at the ground floor will send a clear message upstream. God Speed my friends, God Speed, – Michael
Yeah, you’re right! WE Are to blame for the loss of our culture and not being able to win elections. I sure hope we can fix our country and get it back to where is should be.
I think for starters we still should take back our schools by getting rid of the liberal teachers, organizations, agendas that is getting shoved down our kids and parents throats! Second: Get rid of the regualtions that we don’t need. I know there’s more but don’t want to ramble.
Absolutely superb commentary. Spot on.
Thanks, Jane. I’ve been holding onto my anger for awhile now and the Limbaugh idiocy was too much to bear.
