Regarding ‘The Speech’
by Jeffrey JenaBecause of a Pittsburgh gig, I only got to see twenty minutes of Rush Limbaugh’s CPAC speech on CNN while in a hotel room ironing my pants. If you’re eating lunch and getting that mental picture, I apologize. After the speech the CNN newsreader (I can’t recall her name) took a mild jab at Rush for mentioning Fox and C-SPAN but not CNN. She then went on to show “Twitter” comments which were 20 to 0 anti-Limbaugh. Which means one of two things — either by the most amazing coincidence all comments came from liberals or there was some bias in the newsroom. You be the judge.
I sat down Sunday night and watched the entire speech and two things occurred to me. The first was how well and how passionately Rush articulated the conservative view of America, the second was how few conservatives there are who can do the same without worrying they might “offend” someone.
As I did for the Obama address to Congress, I’ve deconstructed some of my favorite quotes. Mr. Limbaugh’s quotes are in bold, with my comments below. Enjoy!
“We don’t hate anybody. …I mean, the racism in this country, if you ask me, I know many people in this audience — let me deal with this head on. You know what the cliché is, a conservative: racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen of America; if you were paying attention, the racism in our culture was exclusively and fully on display in the Democrat primary last year.”
Back when I was a hippie in college, and I wasn’t the only one, I believed in limited government. I didn’t want Johnson or Nixon telling me how to live my life, whom I should have as friends, what to eat, smoke, and read… And I sure didn’t want them in my pocket any more than they had to be. Most of my friends who were women didn’t want the government telling them what to do with their bodies or lives, either. During the same period of time I seem to remember a lot of minority groups who were angry at big government too. The cliché back then was a conservative big government fat cat trying to run our lives. At least something has changed since the sixties.
“They’re still complaining, still griping about the same problems. Their problems don’t get fixed by government. And those lives have been poisoned. Those lives have been cut short by false promises, from government representatives who said don’t worry about it; we’ll take care of you. Just vote for us.”
The old joke is, “How do you keep a hillbilly busy all day?” “Put him in a silo and tell him to go stand in the corner!” Those waiting for the government to solve their problems have been walking around in a silo for over fifty years. Maybe someday they’ll get the joke. Reagan said it best, “Government is not the answer to your problems, government is the problem!”
“It just breaks my heart that he does not use these extraordinary talents and gifts to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be. He’s doing just the opposite. And it’s a shame.”
See, Rush wants the president to succeed if he’s trying to do the right things! As I said awhile back, we support Obama just not his principles or policies!
“How did this happen? How did the United States of America become the world’s lone super power, the world’s economic engine, the most prosperous opportunity for an advanced lifestyle that humanity has ever known? How did this happen?
Was it big government making five year plans? The best five year plan was the last one which lasted one year because the Soviet Union went out of business.
“Barack Obama, the Democrat Party, have one responsibility, and that’s to respect the oath they gave to protect, defend and follow the US Constitution.”
All Washington Republicans please note this; I believe you have taken the same oath.
”…bipartisanship … What they mean is: We check our core principles at the door, come in, let them run the show and agree with them…To us, bipartisanship is them being forced to agree with us after we politically have cleaned their clocks. …Where is the compromise between good and evil? Should Jesus have cut a different deal?”
“Look Jesus, the Romans are in power and the Pharisees are all on board, couldn’t you just lighten up on this whole Kingdom of God thing? You’re not saying you want Rome to fail are you?”
“You can’t have people living in homes they don’t pay for. You can’t have people driving cars they don’t pay for. I mean, you can for a while. But after a while the people paying for it — screw this.”
Out here in Flyover Land a lot of folks are already saying that! If the government starts redoing loans and adjusting mortgage balances and giving away cars you are a sap if you ever hold up your end in a deal again!
(Speaking of the stimulus and TARP programs) “…where is the evidence that the people offering all of this have ever succeeded in any similar plans before? There’s none. There is no evidence it works.
Rush, there is the New Deal, the War on Poverty, the Great Society, the Great Leap Forward, Year Zero, the Great Cultural Revolution. All these were great success stories according to the people who started them.
“This wasn’t a landslide victory, 52 to, what, 46? Fifty-eight million people voted against Obama. There would have been more if we would have had a conservative nominee.”
Is he talking about McCain? Does John McCain ever learn a lesson? The “Maverick” got stabbed in the back by all of his old buddies in the press and on the other side of the aisle, except for Joe Lieberman, and yet there he was front and center at the Obama “symposium” shilling for the man again. John, the clue truck is driving around D. C. looking for you.
“Conservatives are naturally happy. We seek happiness. We pursue it. It’s part of who we are. So what can you do? Live your life.”
A friend of mine used to say, “The best revenge is living well.” I have long said liberals have no sense of humor. The difference can be seen in the old “glass of water” analogy; a conservative sees a glass that is half full and thinks, if I work hard and save my money maybe someday I can buy that half a glass of water. I will continue to work to fill it up so my family and I can have our own water supply. A liberal says, “How long do I have to wait for you rich, greedy, small minded conservatives to fill up my glass?”
“…and one woman (has) question for Biden. ‘What is in the stimulus package for small business?’ Biden was clearly stumped because there isn’t anything in the stimulus package for small business. So what Biden said was, ‘Well, if there’s a bridge to your small business, we’re going to make sure that bridge stays open so that you can get to your small business and your customers.’ Now, of course, the media today is a bunch of hacks, they’re out there as PR agents; they’re starting to get a little embarrassed. Maggie Rodriguez says, ‘Senator Biden, there’s a website that answers all these questions. What is the name of the website?’ and Biden says, ‘I don’t know.’ He looks off stage. ‘Does somebody have the website number?’”
Democrats, here is a quote from Randy Newman to explain Joe, “He may be a fool but he’s our fool…” I believe the “number” to that website is 1-800- Kool-Aid. Did I miss this being reported in Big Media? Do you think if Bush had done this it would be all over the front pages of the dying dinosaur papers of America?
“…so what is so strange about being honest to say that I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation? Why would I want that to succeed?”
“Nothing is as rare as an honest man in Washington.” If Diogenes lived there he’d have to hire help. I am of the opinion that the number one person in the line of folks who would enjoy seeing BHO fall on his face is Hillary Clinton.
“Don’t measure your success by how many people like you.”
My mother used to tell me, “If you always do what’s right you will not be popular.” I have learned that if you’re not pissing someone off, you’re not trying.

“You can’t have people living in homes they don’t pay for. You can’t have people driving cars they don’t pay for. I mean, you can for a while. But after a while the people paying for it — screw this.”
You also can't expect to export all your jobs, import all your products and bloviate about how "free trade" means it will all somehow magically work out. The treasonous slime hiding in Academia that gave cover to this willful destruction of this country should be hung!
You also can't expect to wage expensive wars for Israel we can't pay for. You can't hand billions of dollars to Israel (that end up costing us even more) that we can't pay for.
Rush hasn't said anything new in 10 years. I stopped listening to him when he became a mouthpiece for the country that murdered Americans on the USS Liberty.
Good stuff. Rush said outloud to the planet what has needed to be said for four years.
He's certainly right about people still griping about the same old problems that aren't getting fixed. Just look at my home town of St. Louis. A white firefighter's union and a black firefighter's union. A public school system that was put under the control of the state because of how bad it was. And the city has had nothing but democratic mayors since the late 1940's. People here always turn to Democrats to fix their lives and it hasn't worked. This city is dominated by the Democrats and yet the racial problems here are as bad as they are anywhere else.
There may be a Black firefighters union, but I will bet money there isn't one for Whites!
Rexter, you godless Nazi keep apologizing for Islam and its worldwide aggression. Israel and the US will survive, unlike your Nazi movement
The imposters in Israel (Rev 3:9) must be removed. I just don't want the hoodwinked supporters in the US to drag this country down with them.
Rexter says, "Traitorous slime, mumble mumble, mouthpiece, blah blah, murdered Americans, mumble mumble, Israel sucks, mumble blah mumble, Ron Paul is God, mumble mumble, fake conservatives, blah blah blah blah."
Well this pretty much explains you more than anything else you've written thus far. How did you manage to get the buckles on the back of your pretty white jacket undone anyway? Good trick that.
"You can't hand billions of dollars to Israel (that end up costing us even more) that we can't pay for. "
But money to Egypt, Palestine (whatever that is), Lebanon, etc. That's okay with you?
If so, why?
I love it when you guys bring up Egypt. We give FAR more aid to the tiny, rich country of Israel (that provides us nothing) than ANY other country. But, Egypt (enormous by comparison and much poorer) comes in second. But here is the part where you shoot yourself in the foot………………….
The REASON we give aid to Egypt is BECAUSE we give aid to Israel! Camp David Accords. So, this is also money that Israel costs us.
I promise you, there is no "White Union."
I love Rush and I loved "The Speech", but I'm amazed at so many (in the media and elsewhere) who are amazed at the speech. He's been saying this kind of stuff every day for twenty years. The speech was great but it really was no surprise to me. It's also amazing at the people who hate Rush (my ex-girlfriend included) and have never heard his show. Oh, well. Someday…
And that makes you the creature from Hekyll Island?
Rev 3:9. . . it's a cook book!!!!
I agree completely. The thing I love about Rush is that he simply speaks in common sense ways. I'm not sure why that's so darn hard for other politicians. Maybe they're just not as sure of what they believe, maybe they're too busy trying to swing for the bleachers with each sentence, maybe they're just not as smart. I don't know. But in any event, Rush has a great ability to communicate ideas that everyone who is listening knows to be true.
Wow, that's how I read it. I thought it was just me
Yeah, basically it was a round up of everything he's been saying for the last whatever years.
It was good to hear it all at once though.
Emmanuel, Carville, Stephanapoulos ( sp? ), and the rest of the MSM are really working hard to discredit Rush this week.
It shows he's scaring the crap out of them.
Love it.
same as here in new orleans…we have 'willy nagin', "welcome to the chocolate city". we finally got rid of 'dollar bill jefferson'. and everytime you turn around the prominent black preachers are claiming racism
That's the worst thing I deal with when the subject is Rush…people who hate him yet have never listened to his radio show and take for gospel 3rd party opinions of him without finding out for themselves. Rush is right…take six weeks to listen to his show and you'll find yourself agreeing with him more often than not.
Rexter, every so often, I listen to Ron Paul and find myself agreeing with him. Unfortunately, a guy like you will always come along to remind me why I don't want to be known as one of his supporters.
the libs think they are smarter than anyone else, so when they are confronted with a powerhouse like rush their only hope is to change the (his) message. rush said he hopes obama's policies fail. get it right libs.
It's Local 73. Unofficially called "the White Firefighter's Union." See http://www.pubdef.com. It's chock full of articles about the racial discrimination betwixt both the unions. Also see: "And, as in past disputes over the department's hiring practices, that case pits the predominantly white St. Louis Firefighters Local 73 against the all-black Firefighters Institute for Racial Equality." This from http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/News/St-Louis... I bolded it for emphasis, so those like Rexter with selective blindness have no excuse for missing it. Do some research before you race-bait.
Um, do YOU live in St. Louis? Because we, the people who have put up with this crap for years, might, just might, know more about it than you.
Ron Paul is good to a point. After that I call him the Scientologist of the Republican Party.
How does Godwin's Law work in relation to Rexter?
Thanks, Nathan. We are all wrong sometime in life, I'm sure. What is nice about knowing as much as I do, I knew there was NO WHITE FIREMAN'S UNION without knowing a thing about it….except knowing that that would never be allowed to happen.
So, to sum up, there IS an ALL BLACK union, there is NOT an ALL WHITE union.
You don't even know you argued against your own point, do you? Drink a lot of fluoridated water, do you?
Look at Nathan's post. He proved I was right and he still doesn't get it!
"Rev 3:9. . . it's a cook book!!!!"

Very true! Why is it so hard for our politicians to speak to us the way Rush did/does?????
I thought the same thing when I heard the speech. He's always been able to articulate the conservative viewpoint very well. If McCain could have just taken a page out of Limbaugh's book we'd probably be living in a much healthier nation right now. DOW down another 300 pts today. Yikes!
Limbaugh's right about how the Dems' "racism" cries against Republicans are hypocritical when one examines the facts.
Whenever this independent voter is standing around and a Democrat starts pointing fingers at Republicans saying they are inherently "racist" because they are allegedly more against affirmative action than Democrats, I simply ask the person, "How many black Democratic U.S. senators are there?" The fact is, if not for Burris (thanks to Obama's early departure from the senate), they would be tied with the Republicans at exactly NONE. And while they can take some solice in the fact the president is black, Republicans can also take solice in the fact that the head of the RNC is black.
Considering blacks make up about 20 percent of the population, but about 85 percent of blacks vote Democratic, the Democratic Party should just shut the heck up and stop pointing fingers at Republicans until they get their own affirmative action house in order. If I were black, I'd sure be screaming at the Democratic Party leadership, "Where's MY representation?"
LOL!
Alas, I love Ron Paul on a lot of domestic fiscal policies but it's comments like these that remind me why he should never be President. His foreign policies would only work on planet Zurkon…
YOu have to think and listen to get with the flow of what Rush says in his show. You can't just jump in and out. The worst part is that I just got done turning off my local talkers. I call 'em Batman and Robin like one of their compeating talkers. They were hosting a full on Rush bash first thing today. And they call themselves Conservatives. It was really making me angry.
Definitely +1 for the SG reference…
So you title Ron Paul as the only "real" conservative and then bloviate on the horrors of free trade? I'm sorry, but Dr Paul is clearly against trade protectionism (as every thinking libertarian and conservative is).
You know, you remind me of another poster, quoted the same "jekyll" book and everything. Don't know why this didn't occur to me before. What was his name again?
Yeah, our foreign policy of blindly following Israel's desires is working out great financially…..
"That's what I do." Col. Jack O'Niell ("two L's"). Love that show!
"My mother used to tell me, “If you always do what’s right you will not be popular.” I have learned that if you’re not pissing someone off, you’re not trying."
Ain't that the truth. Seymour Milquetoast never made any converts.
It has gotten terribly popular lately. I know a bookstore that can't keep it on the shelves. The revolution is marching on.
I nominate Count Chocula to be the Head of the GOP.
"people who hate him yet have never listened to his radio show"
And then they cannot even pronounce his name, which he must pronounce, what, fifteen times per hour? They are proud of their ignorance. Lim – BOW. As in Bow Wow, which is probably what his name is in Pelosi's native language.
But it's not just the liberals — the esteemed Chairman of the DNC has trashed Rush on TV too, to ingratiate himself with the MSM who so honored him by deigning to interview him about "The Speech".
Yeah, look at me!
Its called "wiggle room".
Sling enough BS and you can reinterpret it later however you see fit.
Crap … Rexter done went and said something I agree with.
I do so love all this Rush solicitude. The air is thick with the left's collective panties in a twist.
"Pelosi's native language"? You mean "Idiot."
Even a broken record is right twice a day… wait, that's not right.
Turns out even Rush agrees….
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_03020...
Rexter, can we agree that Ron Paul, whetever you want to call him is no Republican. He is a Libertarian, So if he is so honest and so right why didn't he run as a Libertarian? The answer is simple, Mr. Paul knows in his heart that Libertarian policy gets no coverage and no votes. Ask Bob Barr. So he runs as a Republican just for the press and exposure. So all the crazy ideas and wacky anti semitism aside how can I vote for a guy who won't stand up and say who he really is? It is one of the things I detest most about the current resident at 1600. 'nuff said !
Rexter could you do us all a favor and taking Rush's handy dandy kook test for us? Just curious how you'd do.
1. Do you believe powerful Americans are behind a world conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of the United States of America?
2. Do you believe that the New World Order is a secret phrase used by conspirators to identify themselves to one another in a crowd?
3. Do you believe that the Federal Reserve exists as an institution for the conspirators to destroy the United States?
4. Do you believe that the eye in the pyramid in the dollar bill is a secret code of the New World Order?
5. Do you believe that David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, and other famous "one worlders" provide daily instructions to agents of the FBI, BATF, and the CIA?
6. Do you believe the CFR and the Tri-Lateral Commission serve as the front group to train and indoctrinate future one worlders?
7. Do you believe the Tri-Lateral Commission was created because too many bright people were onto the CFR?
8. Do you believe that CFR black helicopters, flown by U.N. pilots have been in the sky when American citizens have been shot on U.S. soil?
9. Do you believe that the feminist movement was the brainchild of David Rockefeller for the express purpose of having men and women at war with each other on a daily basis, so as to distract then from the real work of the CFR?
10. Do you consider Newt Gingrich to be a personal threat to your freedom?
If you answer even ONE of the above questions as "YES" then you are a KOOK!
Sounds like Martyr Syndrome to me.
that is so f-ing funny. There are way too many of these kooks around. But they are fun to laugh at.
1) Why would Americans destroy America? This only exposes how infantile you people are. There are people working to destroy this country from within but they are more closely tied to Israel than anyone else, but Rush is too SCARE to even MENTION them in anything other than glowing terms.
2) I think you need to work on your phrasing. It is like saying "do you think the UN is a secret phrase.." No, it is an organization. Used by the Bushes quite a bit, btw…..
3) Can Rush explain why the Federal Reserve is not Federal and there are no reserves? Can he explain why it is not a transparent organization and no audits are allowed? Can he explain why a PRIVATE organization has a monopoly to print money when that right was reserved by the Constitution to Congress
4) No, what could be more a more American symbol than an Eye in a Pyramid?
5) You think they have no influence?
Black helicopters exist. There is no denying this. You SHOULD be asking why they do exist in supposedly free society with accountable government. Who do YOU think has them? We KNOW the Marines have them. If they don't want people worried about secrecy, don't try to operate in secret.
6) Does Rush not understand things like "The Ware Group"? Rush sounds like he got even stupider after I stopped listening to him.
7) …
9)Not Rockefeller, but that was likely the intent of some who pushed it. This sounds like something Rush would agree on.
10) Dating this test a bit, are you?
Really? A kook? Even number four?
Dang…
So, are we agreed that Rexter is a Ronulan or a Paulistinian (both were terms I heard used to decribe Ron Paul supporters)?
Ron Paul, while he has some interesting ideas, also has some fatally flawed ones as well. The idea that America can just go back to be a strict isolationist country for example would never work now.
As another resident of St Louis, I would remind all of you arguing(some figured this out) that the "white" firefighter's union is only unofficially so. The black firefighter's union makes no such pretense and is allowed to be such, openly.
Someone had tacked a sign up in a College Park neighborhood here in Florida. Like the John Galt signs it read 'Who IS Ron Paul?' I had an almost irresistible urge to put one up in reply. "He's the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican party!"
He is a sitting Republican member of Congress.
Ironically, Bob Barr – a mainstream Republican, was chosen over the objections of most Libertarians – primarily so the groundswell of opposition to the moribund Republican party lead by a corpse (McCain) would be blunted.
What anti-Semitism? Is putting America first anti-Semitic?
Rex-
You're reading something into Nathan's post that he didn't say. When he referenced a "white firefighters' union", he wasn't saying that the union was restricted to "whites' only" membership. This is, as I take it, a matter of voluntary segregation, not institutionalized segregation. That is, the black firemen have (apparently) opted out of Local 73 in favor of more racially agressive politics, which leaves Local 73 as the de facto "white" union.
Stop crowing about a debate point which you haven't won.
Chuck Schumer speaks in Pig Latin.
And Ron Paul is one good reason to say "Bring your conservative part of your self to the Conservative Party, the GOP. Leave the rest of your self at home."
We can say this to tough fiscons (if we can find any, unlike Ah-nold), and Ron Paulers, and WSJers, and all the fringers. Across the board, values, liberty, security Conservatism. The Center, the Base, needs to tell the outliers in their dozen groups that we'll be glad to accept whatever conservatism they bring to the party. However, dumping Israel to the genocidal monsters is not conservative for a number of reasons.
Bob Barr is from my home district, I know all about him. He was oustered by the Libertarians over his rigid stance on marijuana, even for medical use. The Democrats wanted him out for his participation in the Clinton impeachment. The Republicans didn't want to lose his seat, but they were almost glad to be rid of him. He had gotten wimpy at the end of the Clinton impeachment, and gave in when he started getting pushed.Waaaaa! Republicans also didn't/don't like him because he is known to have a sour personality and doesn't try to get along or make friends.
Rexter,
I agree that Israel and Egypt are numbers 1 & 2 on the Free Hand Out train, with the exception of 2004 when Iraq jumped way out in front. However, with Israel being surrounded by other nations hostile to their very existance, and their getting little if any assistance from the rest of the world, I can see just reason to help them. No matter what size or wealth. After all, how many dollars are transferred to the rest of the Arab states on a daily basis?
Personally, if it were not for the theiving rulers in the Sudan, I believe that Sudan/ Darfur should be at the top of the list.
I had a saying about Ronulans. They were and are proof that if the Far Right backed up any further, it would bump into the Far Left.
Dude, you get credit from me for your answer to number 4. A sharp wit is always worth encouraging.
The message needs to be the Constitution. Read it; learn it; love it. The current administration is ripping it away at an alarming rate. We need to make our movement about restoring it, as written if at all possible. And I understand that includes no income tax, but if things are bad, our government may collapse.
I want to play too!
No.
1) No. George Soros is not an American.
2) No. It's not a secret.
3) No, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
4) No, what could be a more American symbol than an eye in a pyramid? (heheh)
5) No, not anymore.
6) No, but they do support creating a central authority for the world.
7) No, it was created because too many bright people wanted in on the action.
9) No, dividing people against each other is a tactic that has been around for a long time.
10) No, I like Newt for the most part.
Durn, I failed.
Out of concern, I feel I have to tell you that the greatest threats to your freedom do not come from Israel or Israel supporters. This one point seems to be the greatest point of contention between Paul supporters and conservatives. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss that. It's such a shame to have lovers of liberty so divided over such a small point.
I was listening to "the greatest speeches in history" today on my I-Pod. It's amazing how short they are. Rush hit high points that were every bit as well done as the speeches in the collection, and his ability to speak extemporaneously as he did for that amount of time is simply astounding. Very well done.
I could have changed Newt, but its Rush Limbaugh's kook test not mine! Wouldn't feel right. I appreciate you actually answering the questions. I think Rush would be proud to admit you to the Keepers of Odd Knowledge society.
Wow, and anti-semitic too! How are the Swastikas on your uniform working out – any complaints about that lately? Are you stuck in 1939, or what?
Oh my God, I missed your point about fluorinated water!! You are even dumber than I could possibly have imagined!!! LOL!!!
Israel is part of the U.S. in huge ways – there are hundreds of thousands of Americans living there. Hmmm…so just how many times have you read "Mein Kampf," exactly?
Ya, soon you'll need TWO taxis to make it to the rally.
Imposters? Like hundreds of thousands of Americans living there? Those people are imposters?? Wow, you really hate Jews, don't you? Do you keep a crematorium in your basement, by any chance?
Wow, another anti-semitic Nazi sympathizer who agrees with Rexter – who would've thought!
Man..The revolution is coming. I am stocking up on my 223 ammo and my MRE's.
The new currency will be Ammo, food and cigs. Better invest while you got the chance….LOL
Mrs. Larouche!….Mrs. Larouche!…..It's Johnny Birch, can Lyndon come out and play?
Rexter, you're either a Ron Paul die-hard, or you're some other kind of mole, but you're not conservative, and you're not for America. Dogs say woof, cats say meow, ducks say Ron Paul. Go quack somewhere else.
Why do you think he follows Ron Paul?
Hahahahahahaha he's almost as bad as the libs who post here
Wow, Rexter made a post without mention Jews. I'm aghast.
Spinner Thanks I said that two blogs ago in "Fools Gold" Check it out in the archives
You continually pour hate on Jews and Israel in this entire comments section, you don't think that's anti-Semitic??! You don't have a little black brush mustache by any chance, do you? I bet you goosetep down your front walk every day –
You're an Anti-Semite, plain and simple. You hate Israel because it's Jewish. That's all. You have no idea of the strategic importance of the only true democracy in the Middle East. Both militarily and politically. You give Americans a bad name, now go back under that rock from which you first crawled and shut out the daylight, you Nazi.
RP…sounds like the Scientologists who refer to L.Ron Hubbard as "LRH"…
"What anti-Semitism? Is putting America first anti-Semitic?"
It's anti-semitic when you pour hate on Jews and Israel, yes – how's that in a nutshell? That's what you've been doing on this comment board the whole time – just putting out your hateful opinions about Jews. What's the matter? Six million Jews killed in WWII not enough for you?
Hey, where's the question about The Skulls?
You Ronulans are as bad as Obamatons.
"(RonPaul/Obama) is the last chance for America. Only with (RonPaul/Obama)'s leadership can help us move forward. (RonPaul/Obama) is the one to bring (hope/freedom)!"
It's called character and principles – damn hard to find in DC these days.
Great speech with commentary! A perfect expression of conservative ideals unabashed, with no apology. Keep’em coming Rush, and thanks to BH for their exposure of conservatism.
Jeffrey! You forgot the best quote of all. That would be the one where Rush declaimed about the preamble to the Constitution and our cherished and inalienable rights. Which, of course, are in fact cherished in the Declaration of Independence. But heck. What’s a little ignorance between friends? Heh.
Thank you, Mr. Jena, for your clear commentary on an excellent speech by Mr. Limbaugh. I wonder whether Mitt Romney would have been a successful candidate against the current POTUS?
How the heck did this forum turn into the 'Rexter Show'? I believe Rexter is a plant, sent not by RPaul, but by Dem Underground to cause havoc and bring what they believe is the worst in Republicans/Conservatives. Now that's a conspiracy theory I can believe in.
Please do not forget to explain that KOOK stands for
Keepers Of Odd Knowledge
Rexter I have a homework assignment for you.
South Korea and Ghana had roughly the same GDP levels in their economy in 1950. Today South Korea has an economy that is an economic powerhouse in relation to Ghana. South Korea has increased while Ghana has sunk into recession. Please explain how this happened.
P.S. It has something to do with Free Trade and nothing to do with Israel. If you get this one right then next we will discuss the Smoot Hawley tariff act.
"“How did this happen? How did the United States of America become the world’s lone super power, the world’s economic engine, the most prosperous opportunity for an advanced lifestyle that humanity has ever known? How did this happen? "
Read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" The same group that made it are now destroying it.
Fake Conservatives like Rush opposed the REAL conservative, the only one running, Ron Paul because he wasn't a Zionist CFR hack! Don't talk to us about conservatism, Rush, when you put America LAST.
Does Ron Paul spot this Israel is the Puppet Master nonsense or is it just this guy. Just asking!

No I am going to have to go ahead and blame Ross Perot. He started this "close off free trade" argument.
Let's call it RPDS Ross Perot Derangement Syndrome
What I want to know is, how does Rexter manage to have a 30+ reputation score, when every post is has a negative vote score. I love Andrew and appreciate this site, but at some point they have got to sweep the bugs out. I feel like I'm in a Ed Wood movie.

Yes and these days the dems are as anti-semetic as R boy is!
I think there is a delay on the score. Somehow Rexter was under the radar long enough to get a decent score until he fell apart on this thread. I guess his head exploded at some point and he couldn't hold in his knee-jerk responses anymore. Anyway, I've seen other trolls with positive scores lose ground and go into negative territory all at once but it takes a day or so to register. Don't be surprised if you see Rexter posting without the link to his profile– meaning his score was negative and he logged out so it wouldn't show. Or he'll change his identity altogether.
I agree that the current administration is ripping it apart, but its certainly not the first either.
I think the correct numbers are 13 percent and 99% Democrat voting.
"Republicans can also take solice in the fact that the head of the RNC is black. "
We should hang our heads in shame that moron is the head for the RNC simply BECAUSE he is Black. He is a gun-grabber and that alone should have disqualified him. Shortly before, they had a pro-Amnesty guy in there. The RNC just doesn't get it.
How would that work? If McCain were to lie to us? How about, if we had a real conservative like Ron Paul as the candidate, this REPUBLIC would be on the mend? Having McCain as President would be worse than Obama because we would be blamed for that hopeless moron's actions.
The Dow is mostly smoke and mirrors – it doesn't even represent a large part of the economy.
The problem is, and this is one thing I disagree with RP on, is that we have exported too many jobs overseas. This is about the intentional destruction of the Middle Class in America.
As I've said on this site multiple times, ignore the troll and he'll go back into his cave until he can figure out where else he'll have to go to get rational people to respond irrationally. You respond, he wins. In fact, most trolls are so psychotically narcissistic that they will tell you on multiple occasions "I won."
I don't know, but I'll tell you I see the exact same thing in court. For whatever reason, most attorneys are simply incapable of saying things in short, simple and understandable ways. It's like they're all acting and they aren't 100% sure of the role. Maybe they're just pretensious? I don't know. But it's the same thing I see with our politicians. Rush doesn't have that problem, though.
"It's not anti-semetic to state that economically and diplomatically, Israel has been an expensive ally. It had nothing to do with race until you brought it up…stop race hustling."
Hey Latino4Liberty, just exactly how am I "race hustling" by sticking up for Israel? I guess you would just love to see Israel destroyed, right?? Or else you would not have made that comment. Please explain yourself, and also why you feel that you are so much an authority that you can tell people to stop commenting? I would really like to know your answer.
RP would not allow this country to be impoverished like what is happening now. I stated elsewhere that is one thing I don't agree with him entirely, perhaps. Funny, all the other countries are laughing at us as they destroy this country financially while we speak from Ivory Towers of "free trade." You think it is a "thinking" thing to allow your industries to perish as foreigners DUMP PRODUCTS on our markets? Or was that covered in the "intro to Econ" course you took – the first step in brainwashing Americans to commit economic suicide.
How does that bode for "security" – the fake conservative's excuse for everything – when we are dependent on other nations to survive? I guess that wasn't covered in your "econ 101" programming, either….
I've been wondering about that too — people I've never heard of before suddenly appearing with huge scores. It turns out, you can go visit any number of boards and the intense debate thing keeps track. Rex probably spends time on more… like minded boards.
I read a LOT in my line of work and I get pretty familiar with writing styles and looking for clues regarding document authenticity. I'm pretty sure that several of the trolls are the same people. Some times you catch two who only show up together, sometimes they use the same unique phrases or sentence structures. I haven't counted the number of trolls, but there are a lot fewer than people think.
Agreed. Rex was running wild on this thread, so I tossing in a few dismissive comedic remarks and that seemed to stop him whereever I did it — unless someone else came along and took his bait, then it was off to the races again. This really is a very enjoyable (and informative) board when the trolls take the day off.
Love it!
Forgive me, I'm only dabble in stupid and imbecil, and I'm easily confused.
I'm sure you're right. There have been plenty of times when I've been pretty sure that I'm seeing the same person posting over and over under different names. The only reason I responded to the question about Rexter is because I have seen the name on other threads– though I can't specifically remember the content of the comments and I'm not interested enough to click on his profile and see his history. I'm lazy like that.
Wiggle room, yeah, but also pretension — overly self-important word usage. For example, an attorney might say "He egressed to the appropriate facilities and proceeded to empty his bowels." Everyone else says, "he took a Pelosi."
Of course there's black helicopters! Black paint is plentiful. Personally, I'd like a red helicopter. Or maybe a white one… that would look pretty slick…
"Is putting America first anti-Semitic?"
Not necessarily. It depends on your motive, which we can't really know.
However, I think that abandoning and betraying Israel is anti-American, in the sense of faithlessness to our history and foundational judeo-christian values.

That's just a frightening thought. {shudder}
People, people….once again I feel I must warn all of my fellow conservatives here. If you argue with a moron (see Rexter), you are in grave danger of becoming one yourself. Take my advice…if you see the name Ron Paul in any post, ignore it. Morons and trolls will only hang around as long as someone engages with them. Remember, these twits are proof positive of what I call Truth of Life #1…"the foundation ofL Liberalism is dishonesty"
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes…….
But, wait! I'm kidding!
Oh, number 4, HELL YES!
Okay, I like Ron Paul if you get away from the stuff about Iraq, but I don't know what flavor Kool-Aid you're drinking, Rexy. I agree, "RP" wouldn't "let" this country become imporverished, but I also think that the solution you have in mind–rather, the policies you have in mind–would expressly impoverish the country. What you profess to be the essence of RonPaul-Conservatism strays quite a bit from what I have always believed to be the essence of RonPaul-Conservatism.
But hey, vote Republican–or keep on doing so. As long as we're technically on the same side of center, I don't see this as a major issue.
Excellent point. Smoot-Hawley protectionism drove us way deeper into the Depression. It is actually regarded by a lot of historians as what turned the Recession of '29 into the Depression of the 30s (NOTE: the historians would have no qualms pointing out the flaw in protectionism here because S-H passed under Hoover) It was an outrageously high tariff, designed for the same "Buy American" backwards logic we're employing today. I buy a lot of local products, but in the global economy, we need them to buy our goods as much as they need us to buy theirs. I'd call S-H pretty much a FAIL.
Harley
You are right, here is the quote from the raw transcript
"We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. [Applause] We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness. [Applause] Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault. [Applause] Thank you. Thank you"
He references both documents at the beginning of the line but then cites the wrong one.
Rush made a mistake there. He spoke for an hour and twenty minutes without a teleprompter and just a few notes and made one mistake. How long could Obama speak off the prompter without error? Three minutes?
Sorry – read the post and Rush did not say one thing about Steele being Black
Steele is head of the DNC on his own merits. In the article Rush is calling him out for not getting into these MSM stooges face when they insult conservatives. Your posing of this as a proof to your obnoxious comment is disingenuous.
The fact of the matter is that the real argument against affirmative action is that it hurts the minoties it is supposedly helping. It really does not effect the remainder of society that much. I don't have enough room here but the book "Visions of the Anointed" by Thomas Sewell explains why. This second paragraph is for everyone else. I am attempting to correct Rexter's distortions.
Jaffa, kree!
and once again, Rex… the "anti-Zion" crack proves once again why Ronbots will never get Sen. Paul listened to… I take it you're practicing your goosestep march?
Correct you are Jeffery, but your being generous with 3 minutes. The Magnificent “O” can’t speak ah… ah… extemporaneously. He so entirely full of crap he must stay on um… um… Axelrod scripting, else his nose begins to grow in correlation with his descending IQ.
#8 – Of course black helicopters exist… if they were blue, nobody'd see each other in the sky and then we'd have a whole mess of flaming wreckage!
Cheesy, when I first moved here to St. L (2.5 years now), the first thing I heard about was the two unions… my jaw just DROPPED. I'd never heard of such a thing until I got here. (one union was having a snit-fit about the qualification test.. I think it was a claim that apparently scores were "pre-elevated" for one union and not the other to make things "fair".).
TO be fair Taggart, there was one part of the speech I did disagree with… Rush has always promoted "substance over style". Somewhere toward the end of his speech he almost promoted "Style over substance".. not in so many words, but it just seemed to be a 180 comment for him.
President Obama is doing just what he said he'd do (one of the few politicians who were/are completely honest) — CHANGE America. If you were smart enough to listen closely to Reverend Wright and/or read any of William Ayers's writings, you were told HOW he was going to change America. Americans are just so used to their politicians lying to them that they didn't believe the president' they thought once he was in office, he'd do what all presidents do, and that is what's possible given the funds available. Not so President Obama. He has no money, the economy is in the tank and taking worse every time he opens his mouth, but he has not backed down on one socialistic program he said he was going to institute. Do any of you with white collar jobs really think he cares if you lose your job? Do any of you in the stock market really think he cares that the stock market is half of what it was under Bush? Go back and listen to Reverend Wright's tapes. It's all there.
That used to be true (30 largest) before this week. Whether the DOW is smoke and mirrors is irrelevant in any event, the S&P 500 (500 US biggest companies), the Russel 2000 (small cap companies), and every other index is way, way down.
I lived in Israel during 9/11. Israelis were despondent. American flags flew everywhere..streets were remained after New York…candlelight vigils took place in every major city. What did the Philistines do? Danced on their roofs and shot their rifles in the air in utter jubilation. 'NUFF SAID.
When I get rich, I'm going to finish working on my pilot's license, then buy a helicopter. Then, I'm going to paint that helicopter black, so people will be scared of me.
If that's the best you can come up with, you got nuthin'.
Seconded.
Ironically (or not), both were very popular at my university, among the same people.
By the end of the semester, the worst student in my public speaking class in college could speak extemporaneously better than Obama can now. Methinks Barry O should take a continuing education class or two. Audit one, at the least.
Yeah, but Barry would need Axlerod sitting next to him in class gently caressing him while whispering into his ear, “yes we can Boo-Boo, yes we can…
"I have learned that if you’re not pissing someone off, you’re not trying."
Beautiful.
You must be a Red Green fan… In his "Fix-It" portion of the the show he says, "If it's not broke, you're not trying."
Keep your stick on the ice, my friends!
I'm pulling for you, we're all in this together.
-
NO dude, you are a jew hater. Simply own up to it and be a man.
Agreed. I teach public speaking and am amazed at the kudos Curious George gets for his speeches. Low expectations of affirmative action at work?
That is an excellent point. Not hard to see who your friends are.
I don't think Ron Paul is a libertarian, I think he is a spaceshot. As someone who leans libertarian, he gives me the willies.
Either affirmative action or the mass assumption that his flatulence smells like roses.
As an aside: Curious George? I haven't heard that one. Personally, I like calling him "Wingnut."
Rush's speech was only what he has been saying the entire time he has been on the air. Nothing new, if you listened you would know he was right about so many things.
Or Axelrod is a ventriloquist and Obama is the dummy, “that’s not a stretch, huh. Everyone would be amazed, “wow, you can’t even see his mouth move, speaking of Axelrod. Little Barry would be on Axelrod’s knee flapping off, seamlessly, “hope, change, yes we can, hope, change…
If you look up the picture of little curious george, the monkey, you will see that they may have been sep at birth.
I think it's sad that it's come to this: the Republican Party listening to this drug-addled windbag and looking to him as a 'leader'? Damn, I need a drink…
Drug addled? That all you got? Typical liberal. I think you forgot to mention his mistake regarding The Constitution / Bill of Rights.
Listen up, bone head. In the first term of your hero Bill Clinton, his nose wasn't always red because it was cold outside.
Damn… you need a drug.
Yes, you do need a drink… to maintain your level of self-absorbed reality denial.
Here's the difference between Rush and Clinton:
Rush:
Rush suffered from a debilitating back injury, which required surgery. I know what this is like; I pinched a disc years ago and I still suffer on a regular basis.
Rush's surgery was unsuccessful in alleviating the pain. He need to continue taking pain pills in order to get through his normal day. As anyone who takes powerful pain meds knows, you build up a resistance and you become dependent. One thing led to another and before Rush knew it, he was in an addictive stage of his doctor-supervised medication. The acetaminophen in the Vicoden caused him to go profoundly deaf. He looked himself in the mirror and said, "I need help." He went into rehab.
Clinton:
White House Travel Office fiasco: Bill and Hillary promised to put the Office in charge of friends and campaign contributors, so they trumped up false charges against Billy Dale, then current head of the Office, which included an FBI investigation of Dale. That investigation proved nothing, except that the Clintons were willing to use federal power to harass a private citizen, something they had no problem doing in their 8 years in power (witness the "missing" 900 Republican FBI files that were "surprisingly" found in the private quarters in the White House).
Whitewater: A suspicious real estate investment that can be called nothing less than organized theft of investor money. When the doo-doo started hitting the fan on this one, there was a document shredding party at the Rose Law firm, where Hillary worked. That's called Obstruction of Justice. Over a dozen convictions came from this deal, though the Clinton's walked. A lot of people fell on their swords for those two. Hillary: "Um, I don't recall. Um, I don't remember."
Lincoln Bedroom: DNC donors were allowed to spend the night in the Lincoln bedroom for a contribution of $150,000. Illegal.
Lippo Group: Illegal foreign donations to Clinton from the Indonesian Lippo group. A total of $452,000 in illegal donations was given to the DNC. Other evidence suggests that the Lippo group has ties to Clinton friend and convict Web Hubbell, who took many bullets for the Clintons.
Charlie Trie: This one is complicated, but basically boils down to Trie's attempting to solicit fund from Communist China or the Clinton's campaign. The Clintons knew of this, and encouraged it. Trie fled rather then face conviction.
IRS Audits: How many of the Clintons' political enemies were audited by the IRS? We'll never know, but it is clear from the 900 FBI documents that this was routine behavior. Abuse of power.
Lewinski: Clinton not only denied the Lewinski affair to America, he denied it under oath. Perjury. THIS is why he was impeached. Politics kept him from a conviction in the Senate, but he lost his law license when a judge determined he was guilty of perjury.
Selling Military Technology to China: Another convoluted scandal, ,but the sold information included satellite guidance technology and enough information for communist China to modernize their nuclear arsenal. Does that make you comfortable?
This only scratches the surface. Just do a web search for "Clinton Scandals". And keep in mind that Hillary cooked up a VERY tasty batch of Kool-Aide called "The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" to explain away the relentless light being shown on all their misdeeds. People like you were (and still are) only too willing to drink this Kool-Aide.
So, how does the comparison stand up? A self-realized and treated prescribed pain meds addiction, or the most scandalous, lying administration on the history of America?
Tell me.

This today from Politico:
"Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House."
Read the whole article here: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19596.h...
I guess Troy is just getting his marching orders from the White House after all; maybe that drink he's looking for is Obama Kool-Aide….

Not an answer, rexter. Aid we cant afford is aid we can't afford, regardless of amount.
Why are you not complaining about money to Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon, various countries in the continent of Africa, etc. etc. etc. yet screeching dementedly about Israel?
Agenda much?
Rexter, did YOU take any "intro to Econ" classes?
Or did you just go straight to memorizing Ron Paul's website content?
