Compassion?

Every time I hear Rush Limbaugh say that the history of the world has been tyranny, except for the Untied States, something ignites inside of me. I love the United States, the unique principles of freedom, upon which it was founded, and the inspired men who established this country, not for their own personal benefit, but for the betterment of their posterity. Throughout the history of the world, the United States has been the only country to embrace the liberty of humankind, and seek to protect it.

Here's the exact quote from Limbaugh. I think I'll post it here so I can read it whenever I want. It's riveting:


"But, it's about controlling everything. People just can't understand. Americans, the average American, you tell 'em, for example, this guy's purposely destroying the US economy. That doesn't compute. People do not understand. They can't think that there are Americans who would do that. They can't think they've actually elected a president and have members of Congress who genuinely want to deny the basic liberty and freedom our US Constitution and other founding documents have proclaimed.

When I have people tell me this, I point out world history to them. The history of the world is tyranny. Human beings are viciously mean to each other. The history of humanity is tyranny, torture, dungeons, dictatorship, fear. The exception has been the United States of America. That's the whole thing behind American exceptionalism. The exception to human nature and world human history is the United States of America. The people that want to control others so that they have more power, the people that want to limit liberty around the world, they're all over the place. They've always been all over the place. They surround us. That's why we're despised and feared. We represent the only opposition to them, and they're everywhere. They're in the Middle East. They're in Europe. They're in Asia. They're in South America, Central America. They're all over. We are surrounded. And now we have a president who's sympathetic to those people and is engaging in policies that will replicate the same kind of loss of freedom and liberty that has been the traditional lot in life for the average human being since the beginning of time.

So you tell the American people, "Okay, they've finally done it, these statists, these tyrannical types, they've finally gotten their foot in the door of the United States of America," they have. And this has been something that a lot of Americans have been fighting for a hundred years, these people have been around, we fought it 50 years, certainly. But they never stop. The quest for this kind of power is insatiable."

There are a lot of people out there that live in this fantasyland of hope and change, and completely miss that Obama is about control. They seem to think that tyranny can't happen here in the US, that total control can't/won't happen here, and they believe that Obama is just a compassionate person that only wants to help people-- He only wants to take care of them.

Compassionate? Are you serious? Oh, yes, we the American people are too stupid to take care of ourselves and to make our own decisions. We need a government who will take control of our lives because we can't do it ourselves. Who are the Liberals kidding? This is not about compassion. This is about control and power.
