The liberal assertion that the desire to see Barack Obama fail is equivalent to wanting the American economy to fail, is a calculating lie.  Rush Limbaugh no more wants the American economy to fail than you or I do.  Because like you and I, Rush's fortunes and successes will rise and fall with the economy.  Each of us is a product of capitalism, and our successes can only be achieved in a free market system.

But Barack Obama is not a product of capitalism.  Nor are his constituencies.  Obama is a product of socialism, as well as it's articulate advocate.

And he is using that advocacy to drown us under a rapid succession of socialist policies designed to wipe out the last vestiges of self-sufficiency and American virtue. 

Barack Obama is water-boarding capitalism. 

He is suffocating the American people with trillions of dollars in spending, regulation and government programs designed to replace entire sectors of private industry. In doing so, he is holding our heads and this economy underwater until we are ready to give up and relinquish our businesses and our economic freedom to his government bureaucrats.  We have to hope we don't pass out before we are saved. 

This is where Rush comes in.  Rush Limbaugh is our Jack Bauer.  The government doesn't like his methods, but when he kicks in the door, you know his plan will save this economy and conservatism from the submerged torture that Obama is practicing.

So, rather than asking whether Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail, let's ask the more important question:  Why does Obama want capitalism to fail?  Why are the only ideas coming out of the White House centered around government takeover or the supplanting of free markets? 

Barack Obama and his Democrat Congress have only discussed their direct control of banks, 401k accounts, auto companies, the energy industry, oil companies, charities, parts of the media, the home mortgage industry, the health care system and even the "deadly carbon emissions" from cow farts.

Opting for government control, which is the definition of socialism, has ensured that there is not a single idea or comment from Barack Obama involving moving our economy towards freer markets, individual wealth and a return to individual freedom. 

Make no mistake, there is no "in-between".  Either the private sector controls a market.  Or the government controls a market. 

Knowing that capitalism and socialism, by their nature, cannot coexist, ask yourself again why Obama does not want the private sector and free markets to succeed.

Well, the feeling is mutual, because there are millions of Americans who do not want Obama to succeed.  More than 58 million, to be more precise.  We didn't want Obama to succeed, so we voted for John McCain.

And no one should be ashamed that we wanted a socialist to fail at winning the Presidency.  We should be even less ashamed that we want his socialist policies to fail at destroying our freedoms and our free markets. 

However, those people who voted for Barack Obama should be ashamed of their vote.  They are useful idiots who have participated in economic rendition, against American capitalism, because they believed that successful Americans owed them. 

We've come quite a long way from pledging to each other our lives and our sacred honor, haven't we?  The new pledge has now become, "You must pledge to me YOUR sacred fortune, so I can take what's left of your honor."

Water-boarding has not stopped under the Obama Administration, it's just used against the successful in our economy.  Shame on YOU, Obama supporters, for participating in the torture of your fellow Americans.

Recently on Politico.com, John Feehery, former Director of Communication for House Speaker Denny Hastert and part of the "walking-dead" staff of the Republican Leadership in the House of Representatives, called out Rush Limbaugh for being a Conservative.

Yes, that's right, if you read John's masterfully written little letter to Rush, you'll find not a dose of principled objection in it.  And not an ounce of common sense or a modicum of originality.

John parrot's the Left's disdain for us simple-minded Conservatives. 

So, let's set John straight about a few things:

-- Rush is not the head of the Republican Party.  He is a leader of the Conservative Movement.  We Conservatives have had to distance ourselves from Republicans like you, John, because you are spineless in the face of socialism and brainless in your ability to govern with common sense.  Your party has appeased spenders, elevated appeasers and sunk yourselves into deep centrism.  You went to Washington and allowed the parasite of bureaucracy to eat your party from within.  And that has left you neutered and ineffective...so your brilliant strategy is to attack Conservatives.  (Now I remember why your kind isn't in power any longer!)

-- Rush in no way needs to "restore" the Republican Party to greatness.  That is the job of Republican elected officials.  That was your job in the late '90's and early this century, when our Republican leaders (the men you worked for) chose to spend like drunken sailors and wallow in political degradation.  It's thanks to you and your former bosses that Republicans can't exactly oppose the stimulus spending bill with any credibility.  Let's face it, if you and your kind were still in charge, you'd be passing a similar bill, wouldn't you?

-- If you had the brains of a Conservative, and not a Jackass, you'd realize that vote-buying is not what Conservatives, and should not be what Republicans, are all about.  We do not view the American public as a smorgasbord of ethnic, racial and gender groups, willing to be eaten by the first political wolf who happens along.  Earth to John: WE ARE NOT LIBERALS.  It is liberals who believe that you can buy Hispanic votes with amnesty ( By the way, try asking John McCain how well that works).  It is liberals who believe that women will only vote for a candidate who wears boxers not briefs.  How dare you ask a Conservative to segregate races or the sexes in order to practice groupthink and class envy.

John, if you'd like a plan for the border, here's one:  fence it up so Americans will no longer be harassed, kidnapped, beheaded and killed by rogue Mexican gangs and drug smugglers along the Rio Grande.  John, if you'd like a plan for women, here's one:  convince your fellow bureaucrat friends to get out of our lives, out of our children's lives, out of their education and out of our homes. 

John, if you'd like a plan for blacks, Latinos, women, or any other group you'd like to splice-and-dice, here's one:  follow the Ronald Reagan plan of less government, lower taxes and rugged individualism, which you should have done when you had the power to affect change. 

John, here's some news that politicians like you need to know:  Black people aren't any different than you or I.  And neither are Latinos.  And to think differently is to buy into the Liberal Racialism that pervades the Democrat Party...the idea that we can be divided, conquered and then oppressed by the heavy hand of government.

John:  you, and people like you, had your chance.  Your kind of limp-wristed politician, who too often clogs up the Beltway, destroyed the Republican Party from within, vanquished any goodwill you had with your own voters, nominated a fellow limp-wrister to the top of the ticket, and then proceeded to lose an election to the greenest rookie to ever try his hand at a national election.  Your pitiful track record demands that you go sit in the corner and take a time-out 

And one more premise of John's that I need to correct:  The Conservatives don't want to move the Republican Party or the American people to the "Right".  We ARE the American people.  We make this country work.  We raise our families and provide for each ensuing generation. 

And we want to be represented by men and women like Rush Limbaugh.  Because we are sick and tired of boys like you rolling over and begging for table scraps from liberals, socialists and worse. And we are tired of being represented by losers, who are constantly being out-maneuvered and out-played by dyed-in-the-wool socialists.

Men like Rush Limbaugh don't roll over, they aren't losers, and they don't beg for table scraps.  Certain parts of their anatomy won't allow them to do that.  It's what Reagan called living lives that are a statement, and not an apology.

But, John, silly boys like you wouldn't understand.  You are the same kind of staff infection who ridiculed Sarah Palin.  You are the same kind of staff infection that ruins perfectly good Governing Majorities, and then blames Conservatives.  Luckily, Rush Limbaugh and the hundreds of millions of Conservatives in this country are just what the doctor ordered to cure the Republican Party of it's staff infection.  It's time for some "Rush Penicillin".  It's time to put on our scrubs and prepare for some precision surgery in the Republican Party.   Starting with John Feehery.
