Last week Rush Limbaugh talked about Angelo M.
Codevilla’s article published in the current issue of The American
Spectator, America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution.
Codevilla points out something many of us have know for some time —
both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House represent the interests of the ruling class.
Following the bankster bailout and the decision by the establishment to
stick the American tax payer with cost of fixing the rigged game known
as the American financial system, many Republicans and Democrats came
around to the realization that indeed the ruling elite are in control of
the “political class” that claims to represent us. Both “Republican and
Democratic office holders and their retinues show a similar presumption
to dominate and fewer differences in tastes, habits, opinions, and
sources of income among one another than between both and the rest of
the country. They think, look, and act as a class,” writes Codevilla.
Rush Limbaugh
noted last week that the Republican party as whole typically behaves
more as a part of the ruling elite than politicians interested in
liberty and the founding principles of the republic. “Why do we accept
the premise that there must be a health care overhaul?” Limbaugh asked.
“Why do we accept the premise that there must be a stimulus package?
Why do they set the agenda?” This piece is partially the answer:
They’re all part of the ruling class. The Republicans want to be even
more accepted in the ruling class. They want to be even more powerful. They want to be considered part of it. They want to be in the clique.”
Amazingly, Rush then said something many in the patriot movement have
said for some time now — establishment Republicans are as threatened by
the Tea Party movement as Democrats. “So all of you looking at the Tea
Party thinking it’s the Republican Party’s salvation, the Republican
members of the ruling class are just as threatened by the Tea Party as
the Democrats are. Because the Tea Party is outsiders; the Tea Party is
not in the big clique; the Tea Party does not want to be in the big
clique. The Tea Party wants to wrest power away from the big clique.
The problem, and as Mr. Codevilla’s piece points out is, what vehicle
does the Tea Party use?” said Limbaugh.
It appears Limbaugh has had himself an epiphany. Let’s hope he
continues along this line. The only way to save the country under the
current political system is to have millions of Republicans and
Democrats defect from the establishment — the ruling elite — parties and
vote Republicans and Democrats out of office and replace them with
principled independents who are sworn to uphold and follow the
Constitution.

Please.He has been the power elite's greatest champion and defender. Did he have a near death experience where he was told to repair the minds he corrupted by telling the truth for a change? Too little; too late.

Better late than never! It just takes some folks a little bit longer than others.  Besides, did you really think they would pay him 500 million and let him say whatever the hell he wants?

No. Rush is a traitor to the interests of ordinary Americans and a first class propaganda machine. Has been for years. His method was to convince people that Republicans were superior to Democrats, and distract his audience from noticing they were essentially the same. He did his job well. Other than health care reform and a few minor things, Obama has stuck to Bush's policies. "Change" is an illusion.

Shelby,I am loving a brand new show on Fox Business Channel. It's "FREEDOM WATCH" with Judge Napolitano. It comes on at 9:00 p.m. and they are running it as a trial through this Wednesday I think.
