Today Rush Limbaugh mentioned on his radio program a little effort from some group to record what various personalities think about the coming Obama presidency, focusing on what everyone's “hope” would be in 400 words or less. Rush said he didn't 400 words and could sum up in four words: “I hope he fails.” What no one else will way, he argued.
Why, he explained, should folks who have fought against leftist, big government activism for years now acquiesce? Obama has proven he is the most liberal person ever elected, Rush said. And, of course, despite his clever campaign rhetoric, Obama truly is to the left of Ted Kennedy, which is way out there. How he will govern is still open to debate, but on key issues to many conservatives such as abortion and same-sex marriage, Obama will be in lockstep with his base.
The last thing we need in America is more liberalism. As usual, while so many have been co-opted by his recent charm offensive, Rush is spot on. We needn't be nasty or crass about it, but conservatives need to stand against the leftist wave.
I, too, hope Obama and his cronies fail.
