Rush Limbaugh’s hilarious freakout over the GOP’s amnesty pivot
The DC Republicans are “hellbent on ramrodding through this amnesty plan.” Instead of doing things that “make sense” like focusing on defunding Obamacare.
We ought not be granting citizenship to people who don’t love the country, We ought not be granting citizenship to people who don’t understand the history of this country. … But we do, in the interest of fairness and multiculturalism and being nonjudgmental and all this. But the real reason we do is because the people granting citizenship to people like this share that opinion this is no place special. And that’s what’s so damn frustrating and inconceivable about the Republican Party wanting to open the country up to this kind of immigration. It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s the end of the Republican Party. It’s the end of the country as we know it.
If loving the country and knowing about its history was a requirement for citizenship, there is no way Rush could be a citizen. Limbaugh went nuts because Republicans taking part in the House leadership’s annual policy retreat this week, had the nerve to talk immigration reform. Because, Limbaugh says, the DC based Republicans are “scared to death” of President Obama.
“We’ve shifted at our retreat — which is a good name for what’s happening here, retreat — to amnesty. And advancing amnesty doesn’t make any sense,” he said…. They are taking the focus of Obamacare and transferring it to amnesty because they think Obama is still loved and adored by everybody and they’ve gotta tiptoe around any opposition, …Why are the Republicans willing to commit suicide? Because that’s what it is,”
I happened to see the McLaughlin Group for the first time in 15 years. A shriveled old Pat Buchannan was predictably predicting the end of the GOP and by extension, the end of the world over this issue. A shriveled old Cokie(sp?) Roberts replied, “They are calling for a pathway to citizenship that will take 15 years, and if the GOP can’t figure out how to be become more diverse in 15 years, they are doomed anyway.”
