The Rant Heard ‘Round the World

Posted on by

CNBC’s Rick Santelli rips the O-Team a new one — and rightly so.

“President Obama, are you listening ?!?!?”

Update (2/22): Americans are taking Santelli’s suggestion for a Chicago Tea Party to heart — and are now organizing nationwide to make sure the President listens.

Fellow Nevadans, are you game? If so, drop me a line to help get the ball rolling.

  1. Best. CNBC. Segment. Ever.

    Santelli has me cheering throughout this segment. I think that there are underpinnings of a populist revolt against the Democrats that will only gain steam as they pursue their leftist agenda.

  2. Rant is right. That’s all we get from the Republican party these days…

    What I’d like to hear of from the Republicans is more of what we heard from the Gov of California this week end:

    If all the Republicans can offer these days is more Rant, then do the country a favor and get out of the way. There’s work to do….

  3. Ahnuld is a RINO who’s eager to capitulate and roll over in order to “make nice”. I’m sure California’s a better place to live and work because of such — with the highest tax rates and most cumbersome regulations in the nation.

    What I’d like to hear of from the Republicans is a call for him to go join the Democrat party if he’s going to govern like one of them.

    So, what do you have against the main thing Rick Santelli has been calling for?

  4. Why should I bother hoping for any kind of discourse here? It’s clear that whatever I say you’ll come up with a name to call it, as you have with the Gov of California. A RINO… did you bother listening to what the man had to say?

    Name it so that you can belittle it and dismiss it.

    We hear Republicans saying these days that what is wrong with the party is that it lost site of it’s core values.

    Well if you want to regain those core values let me point you to Lincoln’s Second Inaugural wherein he said:

    “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

    You can start by removing that blatantly hypocritical countdown ticker on your page…

    Get a clue. We are in crisis. There is work to be done and if you are not going to part of the answer then don’t be part of the problem…

  5. Get a grip Daniel. I am having discourse. We’re discussing the issues; your problem is that you want me to shut up and see it your way. It’s simply not going to happen here.

    Schwarzenegger is a Republican In Name Only (RINO) — a liberal, Rockefeller Republican. That’s my assessment, and I’m sticking to it.

    Yes, the GOP as a party has lost sight of its first principles and their conservative roots. For the past 8 years, they acted like liberals (with some notable exceptions) and they fell from power.

    Oftentimes, the first step toward recovery is by looking within and admitting that there’s a problem. A majority of conservatives are doing just that as a loyal opposition to the majority party.

    I’m all for doing what Lincoln spoke of; I’m just wondering when the Democrats will get on board and heed the words of Honest Abe rather than bastardize them to push an agenda that he would adamantly oppose.

    Yes, things are bad right now, and the economy needs to be healed immediately. Using doom-and-gloom scare tactics, blatant talk of nationalization, higher taxes, and more government control isn’t the answer. Our rights and freedoms come from our Creator, and not from government. America can prevail best when the federal government gets out of the way and stops being the problem — and allow individuals and the private sector to find solutions that will promote a real cure rather than putting Band-Aids on the problem.

    You’re welcome to comment here; I welcome civil and reasoned discourse. But don’t you EVER tell me what to do on MY website. This is my country too, and the First Amendment also applies to me.

    The countdown ticker stays. It is the least I can do to express my opinion of the Obama Administration compared to the vicious hatred and vitriol heaped upon his predecessor.

    I will support the President on the areas where I agree with him, and I will dissent and oppose him where he’s wrong. I have that right as a citizen of this Republic, and I will exercise that right at will.
