Thanks to loyal visitors of Dittos Rush!

Fellow conservatives,

As difficult as this will be for me, I have decided to discontinue daily updates to "Dittos Rush" due to the current constraints of my personal time. During the past two years I have greatly enjoyed meeting a lot of great conservatives while tending to the goal of building a blog with a reputation for "a fruitful place to visit". I wish to thank Fox Nation for hosting my videos "The Obama Diet" and "The Teleprompter Chronicles" last year from my YouTube page. I am also very greatly grateful to Yid with Lid, Kathy Shaidle, The Yiddish Report, World Net Daily and Conservative Blogs Central for linking to my blog and/ or several of my posts over the past two years along with their continued encouragement. It has been an extreme pleasure partnering with you for the cause of conservatism. May the "Dittos Rush" archive of posts serve as a small reminder of the salient political events during the past two years. By the way, please make note of the new web address: http://dittosrush.blogspot.com/

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/

I have accomplished most of the "blogging" goals which I set for myself and "Dittos Rush" with the exception of one: Receiving a mention from the "great one" himself, El Rushbo. That would have been a......Rush!  I'll never forget the day I heard Rush divert his listeners to Yid with Lid's blog for another of his great video "catches". I was so happy for "The Lid" yet understandably a little bit jealous.

For those who wish to "keep in touch", I will be blogging on a less frequent basis at: http://celebrity-exposure.blogspot.com/ whilst updating my YouTube page on occasion.

Until then, may God richly bless you. Dittos!

Wisconsin Dems Chanting "Shame! Shame! Shame!" After Walker's Budget Bill Passes!

Hypocrisy =

Teamsters, Jesse Jackson, Fire Up Columbus Crowd!

While the rest of us are busy working, the "workers rights" demonstrations have spread from Madison, Wisconsin, to Columbus, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere. Yesterday in the Buckeye state capital, Teamsters speakers and Rev. Jesse Jackson fired up soon to be fired Ohioans to fight Gov. John Kasich's "assault" on collective bargaining rights.

Rush Limbaugh: Walker Takes Prank Call from Journalist Posing as David Koch!

RUSH: You probably heard by now (if you haven't, I'll tell you about it) the panic call to Scott Walker from a leftist "journalist." An obscure, wacko, extreme leftist publication, journalist pretended to be David Koch. Now, I know David Koch. Little disclosure here, I know David Koch. I know his brother Charles Koch. The so-called evil Koch brothers are nothing of the sort. They are, as is typical, the exact opposite of the way the Democrats and the media portray them. They're just like any other people. They have organizations that are designed to influence and shape the country in ways they believe in. They happen to be constitutionalists. They happen to be conservatives...

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN TO UNION SUPPORTERS: YOU HAVE TO ‘GET A LITTLE BLOODY’!

U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) rallied the crowd, calling the battle to save collective bargaining rights "a fight for the middle class." "They're not going to back down and we're not going to back down," said Capuano, a Democrat. During the event, Capuano also said "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary." H/T Breitbart

Behar: Pro-Lifers are 'Evil and Immoral and Unethical and Stupid'!

Joy Behar ripped the House of Representatives on the 21 February 2011 edition of her program for their recent defunding of Planned Parenthood: "It's illogical, what they're doing, because if you are not going to help people with birth control, you're going to have more abortions. So, besides being evil and immoral and unethical, they're also stupid."

MSNBC Accuses Limbaugh of Fomenting "Venom," American "Bigotocracy"!

In the wake of the congressional vote for ObamaCare, MSNBC anchor David Shuster and guest Michael Eric Dyson slammed Rush Limbaugh for his "controversial venom" and "trying to foment a universe of bigotocracy."

ABC's Chris Cuomo Sees "Optimism" In Aspiring Terrorist's Penmanship!

Digging through the background of attempted Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, ABC's Chris Cuomo saw someone who "seemed to be living the American Dream....Even his signature seems to suggest optimism -- it appears a heart is dotting the 'i' in Faisal."

Rush Limbaugh - Obama Regime Software Creates Fake Online Propaganda Profiles!

The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage "fake people" on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues. 

Rush comments:

Rush Limbaugh - Wisconsin Freeloader Protestors Whine About What They Want!

CALLER: I am an elementary teacher myself, and I think what the teachers in Wisconsin are doing is deplorable. I myself in Michigan can't find a job because I have a master's degree equaling too much money. They can hire two newbies for one of me. But off of that, here they are walking off the job; teaching their students that it's acceptable to just call in sick if you don't like what's going on. No, no, no! So I think that it's just... It blows my mind that they're even considering and tolerating the actions of these immature teachers in Wisconsin.

RUSH: Let's put one thing to rest right now, and that is: The last people they care about are the children. The last people they care about are the kids. The last thing they teach about is education. This is not about students. This is not about education. This is not about teaching. This is not about learning. This is about themselves.


Milwaukee Public Schools closed for Friday due to high number of absentee calls from teachers.

AeroVironment/DARPA Nano Hummingbird UAV flying!

AeroVironment video of flight tests of its Nano Hummingbird flapping-wing nano air vehicle, developed for DARPA. Battery-powered and remote-controlled, the hummingbird-like prototype uses flapping wings for propulsion and control. Carring a video camera and downlink, the prototype has a wingspan of 16cm (9.5in) and weighs just 19 grams (0.66oz). It can hover for 8 minutes, remaining stable in gusts up to 5mph, and reach up to 11mph in forward flight. Way cool!

Bahrain royal family orders army to open fire on innocent people!

WARNING GRAPHIC!
Bahrain's ruling family has defied mounting international criticism by ordering the army to turn on its people for the first time since pro-reform demonstrations erupted five days ago. As protesters attempted to converge on Pearl Roundabout, a landmark in the capital Manama that has become the principal rallying point of the uprising, soldiers stationed in a nearby skyscraper opened fire.

Bob Schieffer Blames Tea Party for "Nasty" Health Care Debate!

On the March 21 Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer tarred the Tea Party as making a "rancorous and mean" debate over ObamaCare "even nastier." Schieffer promoted unproved allegations that Tea Party protesters "hurled racial epithets" and "spit on" lawmakers the day of the health care vote.

Violent Footage from Bahrain!

As protests continue this week in the Middle East and Northern Africa, CitizenTube is curating the footage coming in from that region in partnership with Storyful. Earlier today, videos surfaced of reported violence in the small island nation of Bahrain, where major demonstrations have taken place at the city's center and soldiers reportedly opened fire on protesters.

Treasury Secretary Geithner Admits That Obama Budget is "Unsustainable"!

RUSH LIMBAUGH February 18, 2011: Ladies and gentlemen, this sound bite, this yesterday in Washington on Capitol Hill, it was a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Obama's 2012 budget. The Treasury secretary, little Tim Geithner testified, and during the question and answer Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama said, "Let's talk about our interest situation under your budget. The interest increases every year. It was $187 billion in 2009. Under your proposal, the interest increases to $844 billion. And would you not agree that that's a stunning figure, perhaps the fastest growing item in the budget? And all of that is a direct result of the debt we're running up, and only a modest expectation of interest rate increases.

An Awkward Moment!

Rhetoric vs. Reality: Liberal Protest of Gov. Walker's Budget Repair Plan!

Folks, I don't think the people in Wisconsin, the unions, the teachers, and some of the protesters, I don't think they got the memo on civility. Have you seen what's going on? I mean this is Greece! It's Greece. All of these people who live off the largesse of taxpayers are just marching in the streets, calling in sick. Schools have been closed in parts of Wisconsin today for fog. There isn't any. Well, there's certainly not enough in these areas where it's been canceled. We have some photos I want to show you from the protests in Wisconsin. Let me turn the Dittocam off while I zoom in here and get this. I don't want you to see the zoom-in happen. Now, this next picture for those of you watching on the Dittocam, this is people carrying the sign, "Hosni + Hitler = Dictator Scott Walker." I got a picture here, these are the union thugs, as you can see right there. These are the union thugs that are carrying the picture. This is just a sample of three pictures that we have seen out there of the protesters. We know people are being bussed in, by the way. It's not just people from Wisconsin. It's like during the Hawkeye Cauci in early 2008, Obama had a bunch of people bussed in from outside Iowa to go to the Hawkeye Cauci, and we have some sound bites on this. Obama last night in Milwaukee, correspondent Charles Benson interviewed Obama. He said, "Thousands are marching on Madison as we speak. Unions and state employees are angry at Governor Walker. Walker's talking about potentially bringing out the National Guard. They're worried that they're gonna lose their right to bargain, forced to pay more for their benefits." Rush Limbaugh, February 17, 2011

Wisconsin High School Teachers Bring Students to Protest!

Many of the hundreds of Madison East High School students didn’t know why their teachers brought them to the union protests at the Wisconsin Capitol Tuesday. But they knew they were just happy to be out of class. See this raw video from today’s government union rally in opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s budget.

SNL’s Obama/O’Reilly Interview!

That's not the makings of a bow, is it?

Saturday Night Live performed a perfect parody of Bill O'Reilly's much hyped interview with President Obama. O'Reilly is very arrogant and self-absorbed and SNL pegged him. Enjoy the spoof.

Inside Egypt's Opposition - Muslim Brotherhood!

From 25 July 2005 - Egypt's burgeoning pro-democracy movements prepare for battle with president Hosni Mubarak ahead of September's election. Ask yourself, who's really in charge at the present moment?

Niall Ferguson destroys Obama over Egypt!

Just one nagging question: Which grand strategy should Obama have pursued in lieu of the one he chose, i.e. backing Mubarak and then hedging once demonstrators forced a direct confrontation? In the clip, Ferguson mentions American assistance to dissidents in eastern Europe during the Soviet era, which helped prepare the ground for transitioning to liberal democracy once Russian hegemony collapsed. Not only hasn’t The One reached out to Egyptian liberals, he actually cut the funding provided to them by Bush’s administration once he took office.

CPAC Review: Ruling-Class Republicans Still Don't Get It!
What was missing I thought from the CPAC convention just as a theme is what has been occurring the last few years, this ascendancy of traditional conservatism, the ascendancy of Reagan conservatism. There's no doubt it is happening all across the fruited plain. You didn't get -- at least I didn't get any sense of it, watching CPAC. And don't misunderstand, nobody's looking here, certainly not I, for some magical appearance of a Ronald Reagan, just looking for a conservative that actually embraces conservatism. Not parts of it; not tries to redefine it. I mean clearly there's some people from the era of Reagan is over crowd. Did you ever hear Reagan say, "We got social conservatives here, we got to make sure, yeah, we'll listen to 'em but then we're not gonna pay much attention to 'em." There wasn't this kind of division within the ranks.

Q1: President Barrack Obama spent part of the day speaking with other foreign leaders about the situation in Egypt. Can you tell us about their conversations?

Q2: We are seeing the protests in Egypt spreading throughout the Middle East now-to Algeria and continuing in Yemen. How is the US positioning itself with regard to this?

PARODY of Pants on the Ground- "Pennies on the Ground"!

I thought this totally non-political video was pretty well done. It's a parody of the music video of "Pants on the Ground" with costumes "intentionally done".

Here's another:

NMA.TV Animations: Michelle Obama and Lindsay Lohan!

First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign, Let’s Move, is one year old this week. She has already convinced Walmart to lower prices on fruit and vegetables and is in talks with the National Restaurant Association to downsize portions. But the real problem is corn subsidies, which make it cheaper to produce everything from beef to Coca Cola. Can Michelle Obama kill this sacred cow?

Lindsay Lohan appeared in court again accused of stealing a necklace, just weeks after being released from court ordered rehab. The necklace disappeared from a boutique after she tried it on, but was reappeared at a police station as officers were preparing to search Lohan’s home. Since 2008, LiLo has been accused of various thefts, including fur coats, a Rolex watch and of course, jewelry. A Las Vegas tanning salon is also suing Lohan over US$41,000 in unpaid tanning fees.

Rush Limbaugh - Caller: "We Must Redistribute the World's Wealth"!

CALLER: The reason why we have chaos in Egypt... Uh, President Mubarak, okay. I don't know him personally, but I do saw a documentary this week on CNN that the people live in cemeteries. I'm talking about poor people. They live on $2 a day. How would he like to live off of $2 a day? Okay, we need to do something about -- in all countries, not just Egypt. These leaders and government should be more compassionate to the ones that don't have, the disadvantaged. And this is a problem globally, not just Egypt. This is just like...you know? This is something that...

RUSH: Right, so how would you fix it? How would you fix this poverty?

CALLER: The wealth is not evenly distributed......
