Rush Limbaugh Ashamed Of America: 'For The First Time In My Life, I Am Ashamed Of My Country," The Radio Host Rants [VIDEO]

Rush Limbaugh said he was ashamed of America on his radio program Thursday because of Congress's impending sequestration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country," Limbaugh said. "To have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way its being is--it just makes me ashamed."

If Congress doesn't avoid sequestration, automatic federal spending cuts to the tune of the $1.2 trillion take effect on March 1.

Limbaugh seems to forget how angry he got at First Lady Michelle Obama for saying that the first time she was proud of America was when her husband President Barack Obama was nominated in 2008.

"This is the woman who's not proud of her country unless she's getting what she wants from it," Rush said in 2009. "She said in the campaigning it was the first time she'd been proud of her country was that Obama was nominated or had done something."

But Limbaugh's anger for the federal government and particularly the commander in chief expressed on his Thursday radio show didn't just stop at sequestration.

"Here they come sucking us in, roping us in, panic here, fear there, crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control," Rush ranted.

"I'm sorry, my days of getting roped into all of this are over. We have the media play along with all of this, the ruling class of both parties plays along with all of this. It's insulting. I don't know how else to describe it."
