Kevyn

Every day the I***t Pumpkinfuhrer degrades the office with which he is trusted. Recently he had his East block, gold digging, trophy bride hang a p**********l medal of freedom around the neck of the lying blow hard, r****t dope fiend Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh is a scum bag of the lowest order and as such he has quite a bit in common with Trump, both have run multiple marriages into the crapper, both came from a position of privilege and yet show no compassion to those living in poverty in the wealthiest nation in the world. And both evaded their duty to military service with f**e medical claims with Trump it was f**e bone spurs, Limbaugh supposedly suffered an anal cyst (in his case it could have been a brain tumor). Limbaugh gave himself a case of terminal lung cancer chain smoking cigars for years and is short for this world. Now Trump is said to be changing the rules so the round mound of sound can be buried at Arlington! This should outrage every American who has a family member honored with burial at Arlington. To defile such a sacred place with Limbaughs foul carcass defies decency. It also poses a dilemma for many patriots, myself included. When Limbaugh is buried I and many others are planing pilgrimages to piss on his grave. Sadly planting the piece of sh!t at Arlington will preclude that possibility. Arlington is a sacred place and even if Limbaugh is buried there few could ever bring themselves to relieve themselves there.

Why do you respond to him. That is what he wants and just encourages him to post more vile stuff.

I think that finally I have moved Kevyn to the list of people who I will not read as his rhetoric becomes more h**eful and inane.

Rush Limbaugh and POTUS Donald Trump are true Americans who love this country with all their hearts. I get great satisfaction watching the radical h**ers of the left like you and others like Lonewolf blowing a gasket at the obvious dedication and love of country shown by POTUS Trump and Medal of Freedom recipient Limbaugh. God bless and protect them both!

I quit him long ago along with airbag1. Responding just encourages them to do more. The best thing is just ignore them.

T***h be told his own life could well be so disastrous and corrupt he's jealous of of our President's. Do we know he is a Troll? Certainly. Do we know he has a filthy mind and language? Of course. Do we know responding to him is a waste of time? Unquestionably. So what's to be gained by responding to him? Nothing, not one single bloody thing.

It's gratifying to have you confirm, once again, that yours, rather than the GOP, is truly the Party of H**e®.

When President Donald Trump bestowed the P**********l Medal of Freedom on ailing right-wing, talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh at the State of the Union, it wasn’t just a feel-good moment for his conservative base. It was also a gesture of thanks to a (fellow) media personality who helped set the stage for Trump’s astonishing political success. Limbaugh’s brash and boorish persona, and his belief that white, male cultural centrality is, to quote the title of Limbaugh's first book, “the way things ought to be," paved the way for the political rise of the bombastic media performer currently sitting in the Oval Office.

Limbaugh’s entire career can be seen as an extended prelude to Trump’s climb to the pinnacle of power.

In fact, Limbaugh’s entire career can be seen as an extended prelude to Trump’s climb to the pinnacle of power. Limbaugh was initially skeptical of Trump’s candidacy in 2015. But when he saw the electricity and excitement of Trump’s rallies, Limbaugh quickly climbed on board. No wonder: The radio personality saw something very familiar in the way Trump connected with supporters. In 2016, then-presumptive Republican nominee Trump vociferously attacked Hillary Clinton, earning a knowing wink from Limbaugh. “Trump can say this as an outsider,” the radio host said. “He can say this stuff as a nonmember of the elite or the establishment.”

Any critical Limbaugh listener could hear the gushing self-congratulation of the compliment. Limbaugh has long positioned himself as an outsider — a cleverly constructed persona the college drop-out from Cape Girardeau, Missouri parlayed into a long and amazingly lucrative career in conservative talk radio. Limbaugh’s unparalleled popularity owes a great deal to his willingness to say things — especially misogynist, r****t and h********c things — that more respectable Republicans would never utter in public. Especially those who have to face v**ers. And for more than 30 years, his legions of fans have loved him for it. In this sense, Limbaugh’s affection for Trump was about more than his recognition of a kindred spirit; it was actually a manifestation of his narcissism.



‘Nauseating’: Trump blasted for giving Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom
FEB. 5, 202003:23

Consider the many similarities between the two men. They’re both aging heterosexuals of German-American descent born five years apart. They both grew up as the sons of authoritarian, deeply patriarchal and professionally successful fathers. They both have reaped rich rewards in life despite — or is it because of? — levels of narcissistic toxicity that are notable even in the puffed-up precincts of real estate and conservative media. They are both frequent supporters of aggressive military action, including torture, but each deftly avoided military service during the Vietnam War era: Trump avoided serving through a series of deferments common to members of his social class, Limbaugh through a draft eligibility reclassification stemming either from an anal cyst or an old knee injury.

They are also both members of the one percent who inhabit worlds of almost unimaginable wealth and privilege, living in luxury dwellings in New York City and mansions in south Florida and flying around the world on private jets. They both love to golf. They both repeatedly make misogynistic comments and refuse to apologize for them. They both have had multiple wives. And they are both f**e populists who have used aggressive rhetoric and bullying to claw their way to cultural and political influence.

They are both f**e populists who have used aggressive rhetoric and bullying to claw their way to cultural and political influence.

But Trump’s climb was made easier, arguably, by the path already blazed by the pioneering Limbaugh. For almost three decades, Limbaugh fashioned himself a champion of the people, a man with the guts to defend average (white) folks from an ongoing assault waged by liberal politicians and cultural elites. Many progressives see Limbaugh as a pompous and bigoted blowhard, but Limbaugh is revered on the right as a protector of the little white guy (and gal) who have been persecuted for a generation by m**************m, feminism, the L***Q movement and myriad other cultural t***sformations. Where progressives see a bloated bully who routinely targets individuals and groups with less power, his fans see a man armed only with a very large microphone and the confidence and courage to shovel sand against the rising tides of social change.

Perhaps the most concise way to explain these radically different perceptions is that while the left sees many of Limbaugh’s pronouncements as offensive, the right sees them as defensive. And because he’s defending them, they’re willing to overlook or excuse his more intemperate outbursts. It’s quite similar to how millions of Trump supporters see the reality TV star.


OPINION
Trump giving the Medal of Freedom to a GOP megadonor is almost too obvious
Like Limbaugh, Trump is a man of privilege whose class sympathies lie with the rich, but who nonetheless has been able to market himself as a supporter of average (white) Americans. A crucial part of Trump’s appeal to downwardly mobile white men is his image as the “blue-collar billionaire” who will do what it takes to bring back good jobs for the working class. He has managed to maintain this illusion despite the reality that, as Matt Taibbi wrote in 2015,“Trump had spent his entire career lending his name to luxury properties that promised exclusivity and separation from exactly the sort of struggling Joes who turned out for his speeches." And despite Trump's enthusiasm for the failed belief that cutting taxes on the wealthy creates jobs for the working class.

But in Trumpworld, you’re a “populist” not because you advocate for economic policies that actually benefit working people, but because you’re dismissive of “politically correct” elites. Trump learned during his campaign what Rush Limbaugh has known for decades: On the right, the way to build an audience — or a v**er base — is to convince people you’re willing to fight back against the forces that are holding “real” Americans down. For Limbaugh, those forces are, generally speaking, the enemy within: snobby “libs,” the “drive-by media,” “femin**is” or “environmentalist wackos” and Black L***s M****r activists. The objects of Trump’s rhetorical aggression are more likely to be “outsiders,” although outsiders in Trumpworld can be close to home (see: immigrants).


Convince enough people that you’re truly on their side, and you can end up president — or with the P**********l Medal of Freedom.

Acting Secretary of the Army announces proposed changes to eligibility criteria for burial at Arlington National Cemetery
9/25/2019
The Honorable Ryan D. McCarthy, Acting Secretary of the Army, has proposed revised eligibility criteria for interment and inurnment at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC). The Army will now begin the federal government’s public rulemaking process, which includes soliciting public feedback to the proposed changes.

The Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act directed the Secretary of the Army to establish revised eligibility criteria to keep the cemetery functioning as an active burial ground “well into the future” – defined as 150 years.

At the outset, the Army established critical imperatives to guide this effort: sacrifice; service; and impact. “Arlington National Cemetery is a national shrine for all Americans, but especially those who have served our great nation,” said McCarthy. “We must ensure it can honor those we have lost for many years to come.”

The process involved more than two and a half years of thoughtful deliberation, public outreach and surveys – including feedback from veterans and military service organizations – and active engagement with ANC senior leaders and the ANC Advisory Committee.

While ANC continues to look for ways to expand, that alone will not solve the existing demand for burial space. If no changes are made, ANC will be closed to new interments by the mid-2050s – even for Medal of Honor recipients.

In addition to directing ANC to preserve 1,000 gravesites for current and future Medal of Honor recipients, the secretary proposed revised eligibility criteria for those who honorably served our nation, as broadly outlined below:

For below-ground interment:

K**led in Action, to include repatriated remains of service members
Award recipients of the Silver Star and above who also served in combat
Recipients of the Purple Heart
Combat-related service deaths while conducting uniquely military activities
Former Prisoners of War
Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States
Veterans with combat service who also served out of uniform as a government official and made significant contributions to the nation’s security at the highest levels of public service
For above-ground inurnment:

World War II-era veterans, to include legislated active duty designees
Retirees from the armed forces who are eligible to receive retired pay but are not otherwise eligible for interment
Veterans who have served a minimum of two years on active duty and who have served in combat
Veterans without combat service who also served out of uniform as a government official and made significant contributions to the nation’s security at the highest levels of public service
Eventual implementation of revised eligibility at ANC will not affect previously scheduled services. Additionally, the proposed revisions at ANC will not affect veterans’ burial benefits or veteran eligibility at Department of Veterans Affairs national cemeteries and state veterans cemeteries.

The next step to implement the proposed rule is notice and public comment rulemaking in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, amending the current eligibility rule found at 32 Code of Federal Regulations part 553. We expect the clearance process to take a minimum of nine months to make public in the Federal Register for citizens to comment.

As this proposed revised eligibility criteria is undergoing the afore-mentioned process and is potentially subject to change, it would be inappropriate to discuss any specifics at this time.

For more information, please contact Lt. Col. Crystal Boring, Army Public Affairs, at (703) 693-6477 or crystal.x.boring.mil@mail.mil or Kerry Meeker, Arlington National Cemetery, at (703) 614-0024 or kerry.l.meeker.civ@mail.mil.
