Rush Limbaugh (as you would probably agree) is NOT a mere *loud mouth*. If Christians want to be completely fair, just, and objective, Rush is one of the sanest and most perceptive conservatives in America. And because of that he has tremendous influence. Ordinary citizens listen to him because he makes sense and does not simply put a spin on things.The agenda put out 24 hours a day, every day, by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, The Washington Post and New York Times ... is undermined by one single loud-mouth who talks for less than three hours a day?
“[T]he Obama administration not only acknowledged that the deal was not a treaty, which is obvious enough, it also admitted that it wasn’t even an executive agreement! Nor was it a signed document. Here the key paragraphs. I’m gonna read to you from the Obama State Department. “[T]he Obama administration not only acknowledged that the deal wasn’t a treaty (obvious enough), but it also admitted that it wasn’t ‘an executive agreement’ or even a ‘signed document.'” Here are the key paragraphs. I’m going to read to you from the Obama State Department.
Especially given the fact he used them at a lower rate than any president since Cleveland. Why isn't there a breathless article ranting about how the Harrison or Wilson legacy deserves to be destroyed?
I mean, I know why. But how long do we have to pretend it isn't about that?

Shh ... don't tell anyone.Rush Limbaugh (as you would probably agree) is NOT a mere *loud mouth*.

He debunks the Left and all its nonsense every day and people to pay close attention to Rush. He is able to analyze the news and get behind what is happening and what has happened. Here is one example:
The Iranians Never Signed Obama’s Deal!
Now should not everyone in the Mainstream Media done exactly what Limbaugh did and informed the public that this so-called *deal* was not even a deal? Just smoke and mirrors?
They don't want to hear that his influence stems from simple truth and common sense.
They'd rather portray Rush as a monster of egregious proportions.
If truth and common sense weren't a basis for his efforts he'd never have the influence he does have.
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Let us look at the facts:The Obama Legacy Deserves To Be Destroyed
It’s strange that a president who had such a transformative effect on our national discourse will leave such a negligible policy legacy. But Barack Obama, whose imperial term changed the way Americans interact and in some ways paved the way for the Trump presidency, is now watching his much-celebrated and mythologized two-term legacy be systematically demolished. This, in many ways, tells us that American governance still works.
...
Even when implementing laws Congress could pass, Obama and his allies relied on coercing participation through mandates. But when it became inconvenient, they began arbitrarily implementing parts laws. Administrative discretion became administrative abuse.
...
As we now see, this kind of governance not only corrodes constitutional order but undermines stability as new presidents busy themselves overturning the executive actions and international agreements enacted by the previous administration. While most Americans aren’t sticklers for process, it seems they are content with destroying legacies built on the rickety foundation of unilateralism for political reasons.
...
That’s fine, too. It means that if Trump engages in similar legislative efforts through the executive office, his agenda will also be dismantled one day. That’s as it should be.

Please see post #71.I think we all understand why the Right feel Obama's legacy deserves to be destroyed. We need only look at the guy that was elected as the antidote.
Based on the links, all your information comes from leftist websites prone to hyperbole and exaggeration. That's fine if it makes you happy. Judging from the tenor of your posts though, you're a little upset about things.Let us look at the facts:
The person who led the racist birther movement against the first black president for over 1/2 a decade....
The person who used racist, attacks against Mexicans, Muslims and others, as part of his campaign to attract the racists to support him...
The person who made racist attack a judge because of his Latino heritage...
The person who publicly spoke out in support of the KKK and Nazis after Charlottesville violence, saying some were "very nice people"
The person who has a significant part of his base made up of people who support the KKK and Nazis...
The person who has a long history of racist behavior, including not renting non-whites, and attacking central park five even after they were proven innocent...
The person who pardoned a racist sheriff...
The person who referred to African countries as "feces"hole countries...
The person who even leadership in his own party agree makes racist statements...
...now wants to do his best to erase the legacy of the first black president?
[sarcasm]How can we possibly think of what is motivating him? What a deep mystery! [/sarcsam]
I think it is very obvious why he is doing this. He has a very very long history of proving how racist he is, and how he is willing to gain support of racist element of USA by supporting the KKK and Neo-Nazis.
Not only does this allow him to attack the first black president, it will also gain much loyalty and support from a significant portion of his base.

From what I have seen, you consider everything but far-ultra right "leftist".Based on the links, all your information comes from leftist websites prone to hyperbole and exaggeration. That's fine if it makes you happy. Judging from the tenor of your posts though, you're a little upset about things.
Personally, I regularly post from liberal websites to make my case. I'd suggest you include a few conservative sources if you really want to change hearts and minds. Just a recommendation for you. I already know full well what the liberal press says about Donald Trump. Everyone here knows, liberal, conservative, libertarian, whatever. Just so ya know, those who support Trump's actions know all this already and they also know what conservative news sources report.
Well, that's the thing. Unlike you, I know exactly what Trump has said ... rather than the hyperbolizd versions.I'm sorry you do not like the information, but it is factually true.

I understand. Deflect and Deny. Trump, his Press Secretary, and many many of his supporters do almost nothing but this.Well, that's the thing. Unlike you, I know exactly what Trump has said ... rather than the hyperbolizd versions.
Carry on though ...
I'm sure Gateway Pundit and Brietbart and Sean Hannity will deny each and every thing.Ah, so it’s ‘shoot the messenger time’....
Refute the facts, if you can...
I think that given that he had the lowest rate of using EOs of any president since the 1800s that is a pretty bad excuse for singling him out for that particular offense.Hmm ... let me think for a few milliseconds ...
... maybe because he was the previous president? Whadda ya think?
Atheist communist muslim, if I remember correctly.Sadly too many Americans are living in a post-fact world. They "know" in their gut that Obama was a dictatorial tyrant who ruled exclusively by executive order and who created the "Deep State" and thus he "has to" have issued more EOs and played more golf than any other president.
And he's a Muslim.
He has tried that, though, and found that it usually will not work, simply because of the never-ending stalemate that is Congress.I rather have him do nothing with regards to treaties then to bypass senate responsibility altogether via executive order.
Incorrect.I understand. Deflect and Deny. Trump, his Press Secretary, and many many of his supporters do almost nothing but this.
I have heard this long enough to not expect anything to be different, even as they watch this man with long history of racism, this man with a long history of supporting racists, try to destroy the legacy of an honorable man, apparently for nothing more than the color of his skin. I think this is a very sad situation, but not unexpected. This keeps significant part of Trump base happy:
