Rush said that personal responsibility is being taken out of the equation. I didn't know there was any left IN the equation to be taken out. Anyway, Rush, when was the last time you encouraged your listeners to take personal responsibility? Hardly ever, other than to occasionally tell them to eat less, in which case they might cut back even more on healthy fresh fruit and vegetables.

Once again, Rush condemns any government attempt to solve the obesity problem but has no real solution of his own. He admits that his own weight goes up and down like a roller coaster. So we have an (often) overweight (biased) person preaching to listeners, 65% of whom are overweight. And they are no doubt lapping it up........hanging on every word. "Yeah, Rush, we don't want anyone telling us what to eat!"

You've heard of "the blind leading the blind?" Well this is a case of the food-addicted leading the food-addicted.

Also, anytime there's a choice between supporting the processed-food industry or the health of his listeners, he will come down on the side of industry. It's a no-brainer. In other words: "Screw you, to the extent that food gets advertised on the radio, I make money." That's his message to the public.

One idea by itself won't solve the obesity problem but one idea might lead to another and another. So here's one idea: Take the tax off of paper products and put it on soft drinks. In other words, do it in such a way that is revenue neutral.

What's your idea?

Rush is right government needs to get out of people's pesonal lives.

Rush talking about obesity? What's next? Drug abuse? Erectile dysfunction?

Yes, but take notice that he does not get angry when government takes our money to pay for medical problems of the obese (as they often do in medicaid). And he doesn't seem to get angry when the obese cause health care premiums to rise. How about cost shifting in hospitals when the obese can't pay for their own heart by-pass surgery? I don't see him getting very angry about that.

It's okay with him if we pay a high price for the obesity epidemic but, boy-o-boy, they better not tell us what to eat! He draws the line at his addiction and/or his ability to make money.

Why should we always be the ones who pay? I think the people who should pay a price for the obesity epidemic are those who make money off of selling processed foods.

Rush's idiocy should surprise no one. I'm not even sure he believes what he espouses. It's only about the money for Mr. Bouncy-Bouncy.

How is it okay for the government to decide who one can marry? Isn't that putting the government right into people's bedrooms? How about those state mandated trans-vaginal probes? Talk about intrusive government.

Rush is rich off the superstitious simple minds of so many misguided people.

Rush talking about obesity? ROFLMAO .....That's like The Wasilla Quitta talking about Einstein

That's like Junior talking about WMD's.

Daily Rush Limbaugh & Conservative Media Post

His latest talks seem to be about babies, the right to be fat, dinosaur farts, and other nonsense.
