Could explain the shortages everyone's been talking about lately. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. :mad:

I heard that call. I don't remember the conversation going exactly like the transcript says though...I remember the caller saying he heated with coal but I don't remember the part about a waste coal plant. It was Definitely clearfield county though.

We all know Obama's stance on coal, specifically coal generating plants :mad:

I stopped listening to Rush a long time ago. At some point in time I realized something, proved it to myself, stopped listening to him & never looked back. What I realized is this: Rush states his opinion as fact. If you do not take the time to research everything that comes out of his mouth, in short order you can be spreading rumors that are not true.

" my friend" I COULDN'T HATE OBAMA MORE these times/days!
In 2008 I really had som "expectations" from this fake african s.on of a .b.itch...
BUT: it REALLY TURNED OUT to be a sh.it as usuall form the "slave owners" called -YOUR GOVERNMENT- (it's really not mine at all , since I AM A ROMANIAN CITIZEN , 100%)...
I honestly tell it to you and REALLY hope you "GET IT" : your leaders "DO NOT WISH YOU WELL" and on the "long terms" you will surely "notice it" on your monthly pay checks...
UNLESS you ALL americans , protest violently in some form , you'll be exploited in any form or another sooner or later!
OF COURSE: as usual, one could ACTUALLY "LISTEN TO ME" OR JUST IGNORE ME AS A F.CUKING CRAZY SON OF A BITCH...
In the end, we shall see who's the crazy and who's the WISE ONE!
I wish you a good day! ;)

Funny how Rush never mentions the true dates of the crackdown.

No the subject was & is the Obama Coal Crackdown, & everything related to it such as the EPA emissions amoung other things. Your buddy Rush (aka Jeff Christie) never tells the full text of any issue, he's a spin doctor nothing more-nothing less. Lets see some of these permits he's blocking & why.

Limbaugh's success is due to his penchant for reading numerous newspapers on a daily basis. If I were to try his model for a radio show maybe I could be fairly successful too. I prefer to do my own reading and come to my own conclusions. I do enjoy to hear his callers and most seem to validate my private conclusions. I don't get to listen very much because my wife really dislikes boisterous people and fortunately for my wife I like her a lot more!

Of course not everything Rush says is written on stone, but he is brilliant and unique.

Rush is like any other opinionated person, sort out the realistic & scrap the BS & you've got a guy that puts on a good show. Some of his views can be documented, some can't. Life is all about interpretation anyway, Rush just happens to have a radio show to share his on.I don't think I've ever heard him state that all his views are gospel. But, you're all correct, if you don't like him, by all means, don't listen to him. ;)

No, you're right Freddy, but unfortunatly, I think that concept would also eliminate ALL of the prime time news shows. As long as ANYTHING has followers that's making money for the powers to be, we're stuck with them.--The lesser of the two evils strategy. It's all pretty frigger pathetic. :( It amazes me that local stations have gotten to the point where even the meteoroligists believe that they are legitimate actors & actresses. Ain't that a sad state of affairs. :clap: toothy
