Check out Rush Limbaugh’s latest dire warning about the state of America right now: That the people have been tricked into voting for torture, tyranny and dictatorship, and we can see it slowly encroaching upon us:

But we did. We did, and you see it slowly encroaching. And if they could move faster on this, they would.”
