SKIP: I’m Betting That Scott Brown Still Doesn’t Like Me from 2014

September 7, 2026 Skip

The smell from his record, 12 years ago, still wafts into today. I didn’t forget, and neither did GraniteGrok. We all took potshots at this anti-Second Amendment dude – WHY vote for someone who was antithetical to our beliefs even though he had an R next to his name? Ayup, he really didn’t like that … Read more

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #19 – HB101, NH State Rep Mike Moffet, Primaries, and Operation Chaos

January 18, 2023January 17, 2023 Skip

It’s been a while, but it’s time to start in on some quick thoughts again. Today, it’s about HB101 – the bill submitted by NH State Rep (and Grokster) Mike Moffet and voting in Party Primaries.

The Story of Thanksgiving – Only As Rush Limbaugh Could Tell it.

November 24, 2022 Skip

(Image H/T: Rush Limbaugh) I thought that I had used his recounting of the First Thanksgiving. Instead, in trying to find his Thanksgiving post on communal vs private property rights, I found this one instead. It’s a good one all on its own and I urge you to read it. However, it was Rush I … Read more

Rush Limbaugh’s Death Certificiate: “Greatest Radio Host of All Time”

March 8, 2021 Skip

Rush Limbaugh will go down, like Andrew Breitbart, as one of the very few on the Right that will continue to be an influence long after his Golden Mic has been ensconced in its glass presentation cabinet at the front of the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum.

Quick Thought – a PERFECT display of “Inclusive” – but only on Democrat terms

Remembering Rush Limbaugh … Mentioned My Name on The Air – And Something Much More Important

February 21, 2021February 20, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The left is having spasms of glee over the passing of Rush Limbaugh. That is reason enough to miss the man and his contribution to the debate. He was a singularly unique individual with whom I have a very small (tiny sliver of a) connection. He once mentioned my name on the air.

Rest In Peace – Rush Limbaugh passes at 70

February 17, 2021 Skip

Word has come that THE Premiere Conservative radio talker in the United States has passed away – Rush Limbaugh of lung cancer. He will be sorely missed by those of us on the Right. However, I’m betting that the Left, once again, will be bouncing up and down in joy with all of the usual … Read more

High School Teacher Celebrates Rush Limbaugh’s Impending Death

February 7, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Rush Limbaugh has advanced lung cancer. He’s got the resources for the best possible care but its advanced lung cancer. Liberals are predictably giddy. Teacher Travis Sarandos (Milwaukee High School of the Arts) let his “joy” spill over onto Twitter and that has not gone well for him.

Hmmm, I’m unenrolled – should I go “Operation Chaos” as well?

January 20, 2020January 20, 2020 Skip

Shades of Rush Limbaugh, all over again. Years ago, he tried to have his follows work a miracle for Hillary Clinton against Barack Obama in the primaries: Republicans to vote for her, where possible, in the Democrat primaries. Why do I bring this up?

Rush Limbaugh Mentions Me On The Air.

September 26, 2018January 4, 2013 Steve MacDonald

This goes into the “Wow that’s kind of cool category.” Today Rush Limbaugh mentioned me by name. I didn’t hear it but Skip called me from the road, and he was pretty darn excited for me.

Rush was reporting on the Breitbart post that Warner Todd Huston put up linking to my GraniteGrok post about Democrat Cynthia Chase. So I give all the credit for Warner. Thanks for sharing. I got a serious kick out of being mentioned on the most listened to radio show in America.

But I have to wonder, as people give me digital high-fives and attaboys, just how much street-cred does this give to Ms. Chase? My earnest hope is that the weight of her remarks humbles her into reevaluating her worldview, but seeing as she is a New Hampshire Democrat the NHDP will probably give her an award and throw her a party for having Limbaugh call her out.

Such is the nature of the divide. Accused of Legislative Tyranny –Way to go Progressive Girlfriend!

Meanwhile, it is only January 4th. I’ve been linked to on Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh has quoted me on the air. Not a bad start to 2013. (And I was just awarded AFP’s blogger of the month for December 2012). I can’t say I expect the rest of the year to be more interesting but I’ll keep writing and sharing as I always do and whatever happens, happens.

Problem is, Obama wishes to put everyone on the Government teat

September 26, 2018May 13, 2012 Skip

You know, Grokster Tim is gonna give me SUCH a hard time over this image – time after time I have repeated my one inviolate rule for Groksters about strictures in posts (“Adult themes, kid friendly”) when he (deliberately, and with a smirk on his face – heh!) puts up something that pushes my buttons. And while he claims some ulterior reason, I know he likes to push my prudish (in his eyes) buttons – and then all the other Groksters smile in that he’s giving me a hard time. Again. So, it’s after the jump.

The cover of Time magazine is that of a Mom that believes in extended nursing – her three year old son is “latched on” and she defends her decision for delaying the weaning process. Fine. Her decision and that is up to her an her family. Our two sons were also breast fed but for a far less period of time than this “cover model” has already done.

Well, there are parallels in the political world and Rush has it dead nuts right – Obama believes that Govt is that Mom and we all are that kid. The message is from Obama is that hanging onto Govt for your daily sustenance is a good thing:

Woohoo! National Association of Gals (“NAG”) attacks Rush Limbaugh…

September 26, 2018May 9, 2012

…Rush counterattacks with “Rush Babes for America,” announced today. If you’re a conservative, libertarian, Tea Partier, Movement Conservative, 9/12er, Patriot, libertarian-conservative, Constitutionalist, or right-anarchist female, go there and LIKE it!

(“NAG,” by the way, is the alternative name for the so-called National Organization for Womyn, a left-wing, statist, anti-American, collectivist, anti-male and anti-women organization…for Witches only! Heh! And LOL!)

Oh! One other thing. This from a posting in the Advice Goddess Blog: “The last smart feminist was Camille Paglia. Since then, its been idiocy, entitlement, and self pitying women as victims whining. If you ever want cheap free entertainment, call an outspoken feminist an annoying wench and watch her burst into flames.”

Camille Paglia? Here’s what she said about Rush Limbaugh during his 2009 drug addiction episode:

We Just Learned The Proper Way To Cancel Your Carbonite Subscription

September 26, 2018March 18, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Following my post on David Friend and Carbonite’s likley ties to Media Matters and the lefts AstroTurf factory, I received this comment from Mark in California,

Great article. I just tried to cancel my service to Carbonite and when I told them it was due to the advertising pull on Limbaugh, they said, “too late, your service has been restarted. If you had told me it was due to a technical error or problem with Carbonite I could cancel your service and offer a refund.” I asked for a Manager and some guy named Jim got on and played the corporate policy line on me. When I asked who his boss was he told me David Friend.

I cancelled the service back on the 7th of March knowing my subscription was set to run out on 3/18. Carbonite claims our e chat was not a sufficient request for cancelling service. However after telling me a technical problem would be sufficient, you tend to think this is political more than anything else. I hope their stock slide continues. Thanks for posting the alternative companies to this sham organization.

Emphasis mine.

Carbonite sounds desperate, clinging to their subscribers by all means possible. Even if it means being as dishonest to their customers as David Friend seems to have been about pulling his advertising off Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. But there is a lesson learned here.

The Reality of Progressive Intimidation

September 26, 2018March 14, 2012 Steve MacDonald

What you should take away from the Rush Limbaugh fracas, other than that aside from the choice of words, he was right.

First, advertisers who initially abandoned Rush Limbaugh are afraid of the left. They are afraid that the party of big government will come at them with all their resources to undermine whatever it is they do. So they cannot be trusted to stand up for free markets or capitalism. Plain and simple. They will never defend freedom of speech or the right of association.
