Looks like BarryO thought of it first.

Yep, I like paying a higher percentage of my earnings in taxes and it warms my heart to see people with more kids than I using food stamps while I have to draw from what I have earned.
No, of course someone who doesn't have the brains won't become a good scientist. What I don't want is people already at the bottom being told that maybe they were born slaves and never will be anything else. That is not very motivating...

He was talking about people who are slaves to the government dole. This means poor people of all races including poor whites in rural areas who can not live without welfare from their masters in their State capitals and Washington DC. The job of government is ensure equal opportunity and a level playing field for everyone. It is not their job to ensure equal outcome for everyone because it is IMPOSSIBLE. There will always be someone who is smarter, richer, and more hard working then you.

Look don't try to reason with the loony left. They have tossed any pretense of intellectual honesty and are simply launching scud missiles in a desperate attempt to slavage anything in November. It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

What Limbaugh spews does not warrant a profound response. This is a well paid shill which has sold his soul and you expect his idiotic remarks to be analyzed and discussed by scholars and intellectuals? Maybe we should have his words of wisdom carved onto national monuments.

Thank you!

Rush Limbaugh fits the Supreme Court definition of pornography, he has no redeeming social value.

Well, in all fairness...let's use Limbaugh's tack. If he believes that "some people are born to be slaves", then others like Limbaugh, are born to be selfish, greedy, lying shills that are a scurge upon mankind.

And some people are born to be drug addicts who frequent destinations known for sex tourism with a suitcase full of illegally obtained viagra.

"Greedy" and "selfish?"
Rush has most likely raised more money and/or donated more money to charities in one year than you have given to charities your entire life.
