Report: Rush Limbaugh taken to Hawaii hospital

He meant what he said. He wants the President's efforts to protect us from our enemies to fail.

He wanted the President's efforts to improve our economy to fail. The traitor openly stated that he hoped that we would suffer a long economic recession. That's the same thing our enemies say.

Obama:doh needs to make it clearer who he's trying to protect.
 
Why don't YOU disprove them if you think they are fabricated?

1. Don't have the time. Don't expect me to be so active like I have been the past couple of days. I am nursing a minor injury and am resting in the lead-up to a marathon this weekend. I expect to get back to full training next week.

2. Those are little snippets. It is incompant on THEM to explain why they are racist.

Well don't expect me to prove something you need to prove. I have a life too. :mrgreen:

As far as whether than are racist or not I guess it's like porno. You know it when you see it. :lol:
 
I'm certainly happy to hear Rush will continue to make 2010 a Happy New Year, I saw him on the news today, looks great.

Probably his ego weight from his head onto his chest. He came out and spoke for himself, the nodding nurse or doc or whatever nodding yes or no...but Rush center stage.....as usual.

I have no need to prove anything. The website itself is suspect. It makes ZERO citations or links to the alleged statements with their respective contexts and one of them is easily proven to based on fact and is NOT racist. Not to mention the alleged quotes that some leftist liars attributed to him during the whole NFL-ownership spat that turned out to be demonstratively fictitious. I have NOTHING to prove here. The one who cited it has the burden of proof.
 
Explain how committing treason causes progressive to face their flaws.

Calling the desire for Presidential policy failure treason is convoluted thinking. It would only be treason if Limbaugh engineered a failure of government to occur.

And voicing a desire for failure doesn't cause the Left's awareness. It is his regular illumination of the Left's failures that helps them face the truth. A realization they then typically pretend doesn't exist.
 
Does it bother him that not everyone has access to good health care? Oh I'm sorry that was a stupid question wasn't it?

You can't possibly believe that the Federal government is going to be able to give us common folk access to the same level of care as is presently available to a multi-millionaire?!!?

LOL. You are confusing free speech with the act of treason.

Oops. Just noticed you were banned. Didn't see that before.

Just saw Rush's press conference.

No offense to the ditto heads out there but taking a shot at health care reform was a cheap shot and unnecessary at the press conference where you're discussing your ordeal.

But claiming you as the most powerful radio host in the country didn't receive special treatment is just laughable.

Have some damn manners. You explain what happened, how you feel and thank the doctors and the well wishers. That's it, end of story.

What he did showed no class whatsoever.

Rush is in the business of Rush. IOW, self promotion, and he is masterful at it. He doesn't have to show what you or I think constitutes "class".....


j-mac
 
He heaped a lot of praise on the hospital, and considering the magnitude of the healthcare politics in this country, there was nothing wrong with what he said; not a GD thing.
 
Rush Limbaugh doesn't stand. The drugs & weight make it hard.

You're harping about the past. What weight? He has been exercising and dieting. I saw him recently, and he is no longer the boulevard big pig. Regarding drugs, he went to a rehab center and got cured of his pain pill addiction.

I have never seen a hospital turn down patients. So what if you can't pay, the hospital will still take care of you. Those of us with hospitalization will eventually foot the bill in high hospitalization charges, higher than we normally would pay. It's the same as the Uninsured Motorists insurance we have to pay with auto insurance.

Why then did hospitals dump indigent patients on skid row in nightwear? More than once?

You mean Like MRS. Obama is doing in Chicago?


U. of C. shunning poor patients? :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: 44: Barack Obama


Sen. Barack Obama's wife and three close advisers have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don't have private insurance -- primarily poor, black people -- to other health care facilities.

Michelle Obama -- currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital -- helped create the program, which aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ transplants.
 
What is your problem with directing people toward more appropriate forms of care?
 
No, YOU mean that. The fact that the program does not, speaks volumes. That and the unusual sight of an avowed "very conservative" showing such weakness as professing concern for the poor as against the rich.
 
Got a list of those hospitals?

Take your pick.

You mean people who went to the hospital for a cold and hang nails, or the homeless, looking for a place to stay? If you're not sick, the hospital is not in the business of helping healthy homeless people.
 
You mean turning away the poor to make room for the rich.

Somebody has to pay for those who can't pay. The hospital has to keep bringing in the rich to tack on the maternity charges for Big Bertha and her fifth illegitimate child.
 
All'z I know is that, last summer, we witnessed our dear mother experience a timely expiration. During her lifetime she was a hard worker being a mother, raising her family, and working 40+ hour weeks paying her taxes and SS.

Although, too far up in the years to remember, she was not, too my knowlege, denied any plausable treatment that could possibly extend her already hyper-extended (age-wise) life. The Dr's and staff were very caring and open with the family and took extremely good care of my mother.

Granted, towards the end game when it was determined the best they had to offer was comfort for an inevitable demise. It was only a matter of time measured in hours and minutes. There was some issue where her medicare was about to exhaust and a two month time lapse before the medicaid would kick in, that would cost the family out of pocket expenses of around 40,000.00 to keep her cared for. We agreed, as a family, to foot whatever expense. However, my mother died before her medicare exhausted.

She passed with dignity. She lived on a fixed income. She had no possible way to foot the bill on her long hospital/hospice care. I'm not religious, but it's times like these I say "God Bless America." My country was there for my mom. She is the perfect example to show how the American system can, and does, work. Some would prefer the gov'y wheeled my mother out on a gurnee to the "Exiration Room." Some would insist they hooked her up to a machine with beepers and tube tubes and be kept alive to keep the cash cow rolling. Then, there is some cool-head reason, somewhere in-between. We need that. We need the balance.

The moral of my long winded story is this.

This is America. We will not knowingly let our own, regardless of their age, gender, race or creed, just get tossed aside to die simply because they are poor.

I do not deny there are many cracks that could be mended in the system. There is enough fat to trim on many fronts.

But with all it's faults, it's still the best sytem mankind has to offer in this day and age.

I also wish everybody would just donate one dollar to the red cross. A schtinkin' buck. That's half of a Snicker's bar. It would work miracles if everybody did.
