He identified Rush Limbaugh as his enemy.

Big mistake.

It’s assumed that Raum Emmanuel came up with this strategy, and sadly, it shows just how out of touch the people running the White House are.

We are falling headlong into probably the greatest financial catastrophe in the history of our nation. Forget the Great Depression, that event will eclipsed by what we’re entering now. This is bigger. President Barack Hussein Obama didn’t have any more to do with creating this mess than did any other member of the Senate or House. But he did raise his hand and promise himself into the leadership of our Republic. There are questions whether there will be another President after him, presiding over a 50 state Union. There are serious questions being talked about that question exactly how bad things will have to be for him to declare Martial Law and suspend the Constitution of the United States. There are men and women who could be a sufficiently respected President to pull that one off. For reasons that are completely unfair but real nonetheless, he is not one of them.

The White House, in setting Rush up as the head of the resistance, Obama and Emmanuel have annointed an opposition leader with real teeth.

Again, big mistake.

Conservatives are indeed divided. There are the Republicans, who true conservatives are not terribly happy with. The Republican Party is the party that put John McCaine and Sarah Palin on the ticket last November. True conservatives gritted their teeth, held their noses and voted against Obama. The Republican Party is the party that has marginalized Ron Paul, the only vocal member of the party who gets it. The numbers of people in the United States who are infuriated that Dr. Paul’s message is being ignored are big. McCaine was an attempt to get the “moderate” Republicans on board after the difficult Bush years.

The Conservatives, who outnumber Liberals in the U.S. are divided, without a standard bearer. Or, they were, until the White House’s new residents created one for us.

Rush Limbaugh.

I became a fan of Rush in 1988 when his national show began to take off. I’m a conservative voice on the radio myself, a broadcaster since the early 80s. Right now, I keep my writing and my broadcasting on different “channels,” writing under my real name, broadcasting under the name I’ve used in the industry for going on 30 years. I’m an Economist, who has been devoted to the philophies of Milton Friedman since first reading Free to Choose while in college. During the Bush years, I drifted from Rush, not happy with his position as a party “hack” who worked hard to sell Bush’s mistakes to us. I questioned my Conservatism, and as someone who respects and admires Al Gore, regretted my 2000 vote for Bush.

But, seeing the realities of Liberal American Socialism born under the guise of “Change,” I have snapped back to my Conservative roots, quickly rallying with a growing multitude under the Limbaugh standard. The White House has miscalculated, and sent everyone a map and directions to that rally point. If they thought the name “Rush Limbaugh” was one that would repel true conservatives from a central meeting point, they were wrong. Conservatives will find a Rush-led Conservative movement a very compelling place to be, and as the economy worsens, unemployment soars, and more and more of Obama’s promises are broken, the White House will see just what a monster they’ve created, and just how few true Liberals there are, outside the Beltway.
