Rush's Reply to ObaMAO is Priceless!

While driving on the freeway tonight, I was listening to Greta Van Sustern's show on satellite radio and heard Rush Limbaugh's response to ObaMAO's stupid comment that those in the TEA party movement should be "thanking" him for tax cuts. What an arrogant ******* and liar Obama is!!! Does this creepy Resident in chief have no shame? He certainly doesn't have any humility. And he wins the prize for being the biggest liar ever to set foot in the White House! He is the biggest raiser of taxes ON EVERYBODY (another promise broken to the American people) to come along since clueless Jimmie Carter!

Rush's reply is priceless!

Rush's Letter to Obama

I heard Rush Limbaugh share the following Letter to Obama on his radio show today. It's AWESOME! Gateway Pundit has the transcript up and I have copied and pasted it here.


Here’s the transcript from Rush’s website:

I penned a message to Obama that I would like to deliver now. Because Mr. Obama, I think it’s time we had a heart to heart talk. Let me be the father that you never had or never really knew, because I think you need some guidance. It’s time to man up. It’s time to grow up. That speech last night was an embarrassment. You couldn’t focus, you lashed out in all directions, you refused to accept responsibility for your own actions, and you were angry.

And he was, folks! He was mad. Being president is a big job. It’s a big responsibility. You wanted the position, Barack. You campaigned for it. You told the public to trust you with it, and they elected you — and you’re now president of the greatest country mankind has ever known, and yet you act like this was all coming to you, like you deserve it, that you’re better than the people you are supposed to serve and that you have no tolerance for debate or dissent. That’s not the way it works as president, Barack. We have a Constitution, we have checks and balances, we have separation of powers, we have states — and most of all, we have the people. You don’t get to impose your programs and policies on the nation and the people without our consent.

This is a representative republic, not a banana republic, and let me remind you: Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky are not our Founding Fathers. This is a nation built on individuality, built on liberty, free markets, and faith. Yet you, Barack, demand fidelity to a different belief system: A system that crushes individual initiative and free will. The president does not berate Supreme Court justices who are guests of the Congress and who have no ability to respond to your attacks. You’ve made such a mess of things, Barack, and it’s time to stop deluding yourself. It’s time to stop blaming others. You are delusional. You are delirious. It’s time for you to assume the responsibilities of a president rather than pretending to be one.

You’ve driven the nation’s debt over the edge. It is your responsibility to fix it now. Otherwise, our young people will have no future. You were wrong to grant terrorists constitutional rights. Even the libs in New York don’t want the trial there now! You, Mr. President, are endangering the security of this nation. Now fix it! Reverse course, and send the terrorists — all of them — back to Guantanamo Bay, where they belong. You are wrong to nationalize one industry after another from automobiles to banks. You are destroying competition and jobs. You need to stop what you were doing before million of more families go broke from your misguided policies. It’s not too late to stop this. I know you’re not going to stop it because last night you said you don’t quit, and I know what you mean.

You’re gonna keep plugging for the same agenda, which is going to destroy this country even more — which makes me think, Barack, that’s your objective. You know, Barack, unlike most presidents you’re dealing with a Congress that has super majorities in both houses, fellow Democrats. It amazes me that with all the talk about your ability to persuade and communicate, that you can’t even hold your own party members together anymore. Is that Bush’s fault, too? Is it [the] fault of the banks and the insurance companies and the lobbyists that you can’t keep your own Democrat Party unified — or is it a problem with your leadership, Barack, or lack of leadership? It’s the latter, Mr. President. I’ll tell you, you are not a leader. You are an agitator and an organizer, and a process guy, but you are not a leader. It is you who are doing something wrong.

The people in Virginia don’t like it. The people in New Jersey don’t like it. The people in Massachusetts don’t like it. The people in Massachusetts and all over the country have the ability to inform themselves outside of your sycophant press corps, and they are doing so. Members of your own governing majority don’t like what you are doing. I mean, this calls for some self-reflection and some circumspection. Has it occurred to you, Mr. President, even once that you’re not as cool as you think you are? Has it occurred to you that you are screwing up? And if it has, are you happy about that? Has it occurred to you that you have a great deal to learn and that you need to take your own measure, or are you Mr. Perfect? Are you God-sent?

Are you The One that you’ve been waiting for? See, I have a little concern there may be a psychological issue at play here. I don’t say this to demean you, Barack. I say it because I’m concerned. I mean, Tom Daschle was always “concerned” and I like the word. I’m concerned. You seem to have a whole lot of enemies, at least in your own mind. A partial list would include Fox News, insurance companies, banks, oil companies, the “special interests,” the Supreme Court, Republicans, talk show hosts, executives, anyone or any business that earns over $250,000 a year, mortgage companies, credit card companies — and the list goes on and on and on. You have the longest enemies list of anybody I’ve ever known.

These people are not your enemies, though, Barack. They are Americans. They are part of this country. They are part of what makes the nation work. You are not. You have nothing to do, and have had nothing to do, with this nation’s greatness. You can’t lay claim to greatness on any scale, not even rhetorical. But you have no direct relationship to the greatness of this country. You are damaging the possibility of further greatness. Nevertheless, like a bully, you continue to threaten all of these people. The Supreme Court, Big Oil, Big Pharmaceutical, Big Retail, talk show hosts, Fox News, the list goes on. You threaten anybody who does not agree with you. You try to intimidate them. You smear them. Your sycophantic media goes right along and carries your water. But this is not what presidents do…

Rush Limbaugh

Rush Re: Obama - Hoax and Change [Update]

[Update 12/10: Make that "Hoax and Chains!" h/t "doc" at Politico* ]Rush states: "Obama acts like a spoiled rotten little school kid." Obama voted for everything as a senator that he is condemning and blaming the Bush Administration for now! Obama has created deficits that cannot be paid. Obama wants to use unused TARP money (which is supposed to go for paying down the deficit) for his latest hoax and change scheme..."job creation." With his approval number down to 47%, it is no doubt that people now know that Obama is destroying this country. There is no fiscal responsibility in this bogus POTUS administration! In one year, Obama added more to the deficit than Bush did in 8 years! Obama is the single biggest spender in American history. Now, he also has the worst approval rating of any "president" in American history to go with it!

Watch Rush counter each point of what Obama says in his latest teleprompter speech:



In another story, there is a new lawsuit going on that will not get dismissed due to "lack of standing" like so many of the former eligibility cases (unfortunately) have. [Note: Knowing about the thugs surrounding Obama, I have no doubt that the judges in the cases (and probably their families) were threatened against going forward on any of the eligibility cases. This will most likely be exposed to the public on a future date, when Obama isn't in power anymore.]

The new case is being reported by WorldNetDaily:

Closed Chrysler dealers to drive Obama's eligibility
Seeking damages for lost businesses, will question administration's 'authority'

Two lawyers have joined forces to assemble a case challenging in U.S. bankruptcy court the federal government's use of Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to bail out Chrysler and in doing so may have created a scenario that finally will bring to a head the issue of Barack Obama's eligibility to be president.

The attorneys are Leo Donofrio, who has launched cases directly challenging Obama's eligibility, and Stephen Pidgeon, who also has worked on the issue.

Their new case questions the authority by which the federal government and administration officials intervened in the auto industry, specifically allocating some $8 billion-plus to Chrysler, which later was forgiven.

Pidgeon told WND the clients in the case are former Chrysler dealers who lost their businesses as part of the "restructuring" of the automobile company. They have been damaged with the loss of their businesses, and the case alleges the Obama administration, through its use of TARP money, influenced Chrysler's outcome.

Donofrio told WND the core issue is the disbursement of TARP funds to the auto maker that were intended to help banks and financial institutions. The previous Treasury secretary had indicated such expenditures were not appropriate, and, in fact, a congressional effort to authorize the expenditures failed, he said.

So, along with a bankruptcy court challenge, a "quo warranto" case is being filed in Washington, D.C., demanding to know by what authority administration officials set up the financial arrangements with Chrysler and handed out taxpayer money.

As part of the demand for information about the authority used, Donofrio confirmed, there will be questions about Obama's eligibility to be president. Donofrio contends that since by Obama's own admission his father never was a U.S. citizen, Obama was born a dual citizen. The framers of the Constitution, he argues, did not consider a dual citizen to be a "natural born citizen" as required for the presidency.

The burden, then, would shift to Obama and his administration officials to document their constitutional authority for their decisions and their handling of taxpayer money.

If the president cannot document his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office, his presidential task force had no authority to act at all, the case contends.

Pidgeon told WND the plaintiffs in the case are the former Chrysler dealers, and their interests will be paramount.

The goal is "to get them restored," he said, and "put them back where they were before their contracts were rejected."

"Our clients are not in this action as 'birthers,'" he said, citing a term used for people who question Obama's constitutional eligibility. "Our clients are here to seek redress for wrongs."

But the case may open doors that have been closed in other disputes over Obama's eligibility. Most previous cases, at one point or another, have been dismissed because the plaintiffs do not have "standing" – they have not suffered direct injury for which they have a reasonable expectation of seeking redress.

In the case of the dealers, they have suffered financial loss because of circumstances that developed with the government's intervention in the auto industry.

According to columnist Devvy Kidd, the case is "complicated."

She explained a "quo warranto may be issued from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States against a person who within the District of Columbia usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises, a franchise conferred by the United States or a public office of the United States, civil or military."

That means quo warranto applies not just to eligibility but to the "exercise" of authority through public office, she said.

She noted the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals already has described as "interesting and unresolved" some of the questions raised in a related case that did not involve the dealers. In that case, once again, the appellants did not have "standing."

"The Chrysler dealers have the requisite injury – loss of their franchises – to meet the standing requirements," she wrote.

The formal paperwork in the filings is expected to be submitted to the courts within days on a motion to reconsider the bankruptcy court's decisions and the quo warranto pertaining to the authority of Obama and his appointees.

WND previously has reported on many cases brought over the issue of Obama's eligibility, including one at the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that alleges Congress failed in its constitutional duties by refusing to investigate the eligibility of Obama to be president.

The case is being handled by attorney Mario Apuzzo for lead plaintiff Charles F. Kerchner Jr. and others against Obama, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."

The case asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same."

The Constitution also provides, the lawsuit says, "If the president-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified."

The Obama eligibility cases have cited Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, which states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

*******

Also see Lame Cherry's blog for a unique idea to get to the truth about Obama's citizenship issues:

...a rather simple legal request could be filed in the British Courts as follows:

Be it known, as a friend of this Court, this Solicitor and or Attorney, hereby requests said Court to grant acknowledged British subject rights to the son of a Kenyan Colonial, Barack Hussein Obama sr., who in wedding an underage American girl, one Stanley Ann Dunham, produced an infant in August 1961, under British mandate, a son Barack Hussein Obama jr., who is a full British subject.

Mr. Obama jr., has never renounced his British rights. Mr. Obama jr. has only noted incorrectly his British birth right "expired", when there is no such expiration.

Mr. Obama jr. therefore is asking this Court by this Solicitor, for this Court to acknowledge full British Citizenship, rights, return status, voting in elections, serving in Parliament, serving in the British armed forces and all rights, including health care benefits and retirement as is afforded all British Citizens.

An astute Briton, not appreciating the carnage of Mr. Obama, could quietly in the Courts gain full rights for Bearick Obama as is his right.
Once this is completed, that a British Court has affirmed that Mr. Obama is indeed British, then it would be quite impossible for any American Court to not deal with a British Court finding that Barack Hussein Obama was born British and is still British to his day.

Such a British finding would mean Mr. Obama was disqualified without one Hawaiian birth certificate, because the courts do not require Mr. Obama's records, but the already known records of Kenyan colonial Obama sr. and he already known under age sexual adventure of Stanley Ann Dunham.

If such a clever Indonesian Attorney were looking to make an international reputation, they could on Mr. Obama's school records affirm he was an adopted son of Lolo Soetoro and was indeed an Indonesian Muslim with full citizenship rights.

Find the right Lance Ito in a foreign court, and one does not need American Courts, as the foreign courts will do the work the Obama shill judges will not undertake.

The court of play has taken the ball from Barack Obama now. All should be done to promote the sound case of Attorney's Donofrio and Pidgeon. That assistance is in people connected intimately to those in England and Indonesia to quietly produce the results in those courts, so these American attorneys can drop the legal finding into the lap of a startled American Court.

Those who can move on this legally, should. This is the correct way to proceed in this finally. Now it is hoped that others will be inspired to add another wedge to this drive to exposing the fraud of Barack Hussein Obama.

Some great comments there:

when the president is politically polarizing and calls half the country teabaggers and potential terrorists, what do you expect? Not to mention the debt, climate fraud and all this other garbage the administration is trying to shove down peoples throats. War on fox news, the czars, bailouts, union bailouts, and the list goes on and on and on and on and on.... You half to be the president of all the people, and the people need to trust you. People did not like Bush per say, but most people trusted him.

Hey!! I like Casper! But yes...let's bring the grown-ups back!

Not a surprise. Me and many others bought into this "Change" thing, but did not understand that Obama meant change for the worse on pretty much everything. a stimulus bill that spent $250K per "Job saved", an assault on my great medical insurance, run away spending, more war (What ever happened to the peace candidate?) At least Bush no secret of what he was or believed in, Obama acts too much like a lawyer never saying what he realy means. Straight up truth I kind of miss that.

Posted By: Sara December 10, 2009 at 11:03 AM

Yeah...Obama voter remorse group is growing bigger every day!

Bush's biggest mistake was following the advice of Rumsfeld and Cheney and not deploying more troops to Iraq sooner. Bush's failure to support a "surge" earlier in his administration cost him political support that he never got back. It reminded me of Lincoln's decision to back McClellan in the early days of the Civil War. It's no surprise that many people would like Bush back. I'd much rather have him back over Obama. People voted for Obama with the expectation that he would work in a bipartisan fashion. He talked about the overspending of the Bush Administration, but the Obama Administration proceeded to blow the doors off of any semblance of fiscal restraint. Obama talked about the need to find common ground on controversial issues such as abortion during the campaign, but now wants taxpayers to pay for abortions. Obama could have come out and addressed an issue like reliance on foreign oil and united environmentalists with national security hawks, but instead chose to adopt a far-left agenda. I live in Florida. We went for Bush in '04 and Obama in '08. There's no question in my mind that Obama would lose Florida (probably by double digits) if the same election were held today. Most independents I know that voted for Obama now regret their votes.

Conservative tried to warn you!!!

Reportedly, when Bush and Obama met to discuss the presidency, after Obama had won the election, Bush stated to someone when the meeting was over "This guy doesn't have a clue." Turns out he was right about that. We now have a president doing on-the-job training, and so far is failing.

Posted By: Cheyenne December 10, 2009 at 11:12 AM

Posted By: ncletsroll December 10, 2009 at 11:15 AM

Again...TRIED TO WARN YOU ALL all during the campaign!

The Liberals ignore the fact that Bush had to clean up the mess left by Clinton, to include looting the White House and destroying offices. He then had the 9/11 attack to contend with, largely the result of Clinton's foolish handling of prior terrorist attacks. Getting the stench of corruption out of the White House and restoring dignity was also an issue. Obama's replacement will have an even more daunting task of trying to undo the damage caused by this radical. One huge positive for Bush is that he respected the military and he did not despise this nation or its people. Obama can't be said to have done either.

Posted By: Annie December 10, 2009 at 11:15 AM

Face it, the entire Bush family is a high class act--even if you didn't agree with all of thier policies. But they are always the epitomy of genteel and dignified politics. But Obama has shown himself to be positively churlish by running down his predecessor at every turn. Something no Bush has ever done to any sitting president. Worse, Obama snubs longtime allies like Great Britain while grovelling in front of dictators and despots. You have to wonder what deep seated need in his own psyche motivates him to abase himself so shamelessly. Simply put, Obama's lack of social grace makes him look like he was raised in a barn. So, it's no surprise to me that most of his unpresidential antics abroad and leftwing policy agenda at home reeks of chickensh*t.

Posted By: Leo Leone December 10, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Bush didn't do apology tours. Bush loved the military. The military loved Bush. Bush loved America. "The Messiah" hates America and everything it stands for. Bush did not try to RAM SOCIALISM down our throats.

Posted By: John D December 10, 2009 at 11:25 AM

President Obama is a weak, feckless man, and as far from a 'leader' as one can get. We all, all of us, are products of our environement; we can't change that. It is who we are. So too is Obama the product of a 60's, radical indoctrination, of a corrupt Chicago community, who, on the spiritual side, took guidance and comfort from an anti-American, anti-white, anti-semitic preacher for 20 years. He is in way over his head, and I guarantee you that the West Point Cadets who sat on their hands before him last week, the same exact group would have jumped up with a Hoo-Rah if George Bush would have walked out there. Obama doesn't like his country, doesn't get welled up when he looks at the American flag, doesn't have the awe and reverence for the office in which he sits. And THAT is why he'll be a one-term president. Further, I predict, that if he continues to try to push any of his agenda that goes against the Constitution ... you'll see here what happened in Honduras ... he'll be removed from office.

Obama's declining support is a result of his utter lack of leadership, his arrogance, dishonesty, and total incompetence. He is leading this country to bankruptcy and communism. I'm baffled that he can garner 47% support. Before the end of his term, his support will be at record lows.

Posted By: HTS December 10, 2009 at 12:01 PM

It is a sad fact that most of the hate for Bush was media-created, pure and simple. Any minor issue was blown WAY out of proportion to reality ... with OButtHead we have the exact opposite from the media ... the willful purposeful burying of scandals and impeachable behavior. You Bush haters haven't got a clue ... you're all just parrotting the media crap and spin that was spewed during his 2 terms. P.S. - I didn't agree with Bush on all things, especially immigration control, but he did not lie, hate his own country, hate the American people, and generally perpetrate endless fraud and criminal behavior, despite all the crap you THINK you know. History will easily vindicate Bush as his intent was genuine ... Obama seeks to de-fraud, he IS the Manchurian Candidate in the flesh. P.S. - Biden is exactly the retarded oaf I told everyone he would be ... Cheney is INFINITELY smarter than the idiot V.P. we have now ... if you don't know that ... then YOU are a hopeless fool. P.S.S. - I met a kid in his late twenties, it was Dec. 7th ... it had no meaning ... it became clear he didn't know what the phrase 'Pearl Harbor' meant ... this is your 'public skrool system' at work ... howz that workin' for 'ya? And this vidiot generation is going to remain land of the free? I think not.

At least with Bush he said what he meant, and meant what he said. Obama speaks out of both sides of his mouth and still you do not know what he is saying, nor can you believe him

Many more good ones, but I need to go cook dinner now!

Republican Leaders Don't Get It!

It didn't take very long for me to find a reason to be very disappointed in Michael Steele. I had a lot of hope (the REAL kind - not the faux kind behind ObamaBorg & cohorts) for the RNC when Steele was chosen. However, it saddens me to say that Steele just represents more of the "same ole' toe-the-liberal-line" Republicanism that secretly hates what the Conservative base of the party represents.

Steele's original complaint against Rush was not a trite disagreement. Oh No! Unfortunately, it showed a mountain of difference between their ideologies. IMHO, what Steele said demonstrated what some people in the McCain campaign secretly thought about Governor Sarah Palin. The ugliness of that situation came out shortly after the election. The men behind the disparaging of Gov. Palin (and subsequent lie that she helped McCain lose the election) just shows how clueless they were about Sarah's huge, positive impact for the Conservative base in the campaign. IMHO, if McCain had chosen someone else, he would have lost by a landslide.

Back to Steele vs. Rush.

There are several really good articles over at GOP USA.

1. Bobby Eberle: Since When Is Promoting Conservatism 'Ugly?'

Excerpt:

So... first the recap... at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference, Rush Limbaugh gave a rare public speech that brought down the house. I watched the speech, and it was outstanding. Along with his sidenotes and trademark pats on his own back, Limbaugh talked about the essence of conservatism. His comments have been echoed many times in my own writings, and he summed up our philosophy perfectly.

Conservatives believe in the power of each and every American... not the government. We believe that given an opportunity, people can achieve great things if they so desire. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome, is one of the cornerstones of our beliefs. In order to have equal opportunity, this means that barriers must be removed. Whether it is sky high taxes, endless rules and regulations, or an ever-expanding, intrusive federal government, we realize that Americans can only succeed if freedom and liberty are held in high regard.

We do not believe in constituencies. We do not promise that we can do something for women, something else for blacks, another thing for union workers, still another thing for low income families, and so on. We believe in one America, with everyone having a chance at success. Make no mistake, we do NOT believe that prosperity "trickles down." What we do believe is that if you treat everyone fairly and then everyone will benefit.

Ok, I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Of course you get it... the problem is that our Republican leaders do not!

Let me repeat that last statement:

"Ok, I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Of course you get it... the problem is that our Republican leaders do not!"

That's it...in a nutshell! Our Republican leaders DO NOT GET IT!!! OK - there are a few (like Sarah Palin) who DO GET IT. But so many others are making the WORST MISTAKES EVER in their careers to cower before the ObamaBorg in Congress and act like they are doing a service to the country. THEY ARE CRAZY IF THEY THINK LIKE THAT! The public is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED over the huge amount of senseless, bankrupting, porkbarrel, generational theft that most Democrats and the RINOS in the Senate voted for!!

Ahhh! Don't get me started on that awful subject. Back to the topic at hand.

Now we find out that Steele has "apologized" to Limbaugh.

2. JIM KUHNHENN: GOP Chairman Apologizes for Limbaugh Remark.

I have to admit that I found Steele's apology...well...to be honest with you...quite weak.

The Republican party needs to grow a backbone again! The kind of backbone it had under Ronald Reagan's leadership. Reagan would NEVER HAVE criticized a fellow Conservative like that in the first place! At least, not in public! Why give the liberals even more ammunition against us?

Of course, no one gets along all the time on every issue. Look at the crazy stuff happening within the Democrat party on Capitol Hill. They have all the branches of the government in their pocket and they STILL bicker like little children on a playground! The trouble is - they are bickering over how to spend OUR MONEY - THE TAXPAYER'S MONEY in ways that WON'T GROW THE ECONOMY! It only serves to LINE THE POCKETS OF THEIR CHOICE - USUALLY AS A "THANK YOU" TO GROUPS LIKE ACORN THAT HELPED GET OBAMA ELECTED! And, the earmarks being given away in the next bill are absolutely sickening to me!! Where will it end? When???

Back to the treatment of conservatives.

Republicans (in the past, at least) were usually much more cordial towards each other - even when disagreements arise. The difference is that such cordial reactions only seem to be given towards the RINOS (like Snowe, Spector, and Collins) who voted for the StimuWASTE bill! I don't see any outrage being unleashed by the RNC towards them...do you? Instead, Steele unleashes his frustration towards a radio show host who has 20 million listeners who obviously, for the most part, agree with his politics. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE, PEOPLE?

Steele did the same kind of blunder that Obama did - verbally challenge (unnecessarily) a leader in the conservative movement of today. The problem with that is the fact that Steele IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON OUR SIDE!!

This incident was truly eye opening for me. I am considering re-registering as an Independent. Seriously. I am so angry with Steele.

You might wonder why I am still angry with him - after all, he did apologize to Limbaugh. It is because he apologized in this namby-pamby manner:

"I respect Rush Limbaugh, he is a national conservative leader, and in no way do I want to diminish his voice," Steele said in a statement late Monday. "I'm sure that he and I will agree most of the time, but will probably disagree some as well, which is fine.

"The Democrats are doing everything they can to find ways to take people's attention off of their massive 36-billion-dollar-a-day spending spree that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have embarked on. To the extent that my remarks helped the Democrats in Washington to take the focus, even for one minute, off of their irresponsible expansion of government, I truly apologize."

What was missing? There was NO CONDEMNATION against the RINOS in Congress that voted for the Porkulus bill!!! If it wasn't for them IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED!! If Steele had any guts (like Rush does!) he SHOULD have been in their faces urging them not to vote for that terrible bill!!


Of course, Rush did a great job responding to Steele.

Loved this portion:

They chicken out when I happen to articulate exactly what their agenda really is. They don't have the guts to admit it, and I do. I'm going further and telling you today it's not that I want Obama to fail; that's not it anymore. The president is presiding over economic failure. The president is watching it, doing nothing about it. He's watching unemployment grow; he's watching the stock market plummet; he is watching people sign up for unemployment. The president of the United States is doing nothing to stop the downward spiral of this economy. He has no economic recovery plan. The truth is, the president of the United States and Rahm Emanuel, who, remember, said, "Crisis is too great a thing to waste." What does that mean? They want you suffering, they want you miserable, they want it worse, they want you rejecting conservatism. They want you rejecting capitalism. They want you turning to them in fear and desperation and angst for an immediate fix to the problem. They want you thinking you have no ability to fix your own problems. They think you have and they want you to have no ability to take care of yourself. So as the stock market now approaches minus 2,800 since Obama was elected, the statement today is to speed up the economic recovery, we're going to focus on health care. Ask yourself how that is going to get you your next job.

And this portion:

And finally, Mr. Steele, we do like to entertain people here. The audience is very smart, sir. They know the difference between entertainment, and they know the difference between deadly serious issues that affect their country. Don't underestimate the intelligence of this audience or Republicans and conservatives generally. The biggest problem with all of you who live inside the Beltway is you look out over America and you think you see idiocy and unsophisticated people, ignorant people, and when you're looking at liberal Democrats, largely you're correct, but your own voters are every bit as informed, involved, engaged, and caring, if not more so than you are. We don't care, first and foremost, about the success of the Republican Party. We care about the United States of America and its future, because we cherish it and love it, and we know what it is that made it the greatest nation on earth, and we don't hear you articulating that you understand that, not just you, Mr. Steele, but hardly anybody else in Washington, DC.

RUSH: Hey, psst, folks, just a little secret between us. Don't tell anybody, all right? This is just between us. Don't tell the Drive-Bys. The Drive-Bys were tuning in for that because they've been asking me for quotes on this. So the way they're gonna interpret -- and really don't tell anybody, this is between us, because I don't want this getting out beyond the show -- the way they are going to interpret what I just did in response to Michael Steele is, "Oh, this is great, this is great! Emanuel's strategy is working great, the Republican Party and Limbaugh are splitting apart, there's a feud, there's infighting." They will miss the whole point, and even if there are any Drive-Bys listening while I tell them the real point, they will reject it because it doesn't fit their template. What happened starting Saturday -- actually, CPAC started on Thursday, but what culminated with my speech on Saturday at CPAC was the reawakening of a huge sleeping giant that is ready to rumble, and that is American conservatism, which is found in the Democrat Party, it's found among independents, and it's found in the Republican Party.

More Americans live their lives as conservatives than you would believe. They don't get their paychecks and walk down the street and say, "Hi, you want some of this?" They'll vote for people who will do it for them, but they're trying to raise their kids right and make money, save money. They've got morality and values, most of them, not all, but most, they may not vote that way, but they live that way. They're waiting to be awakened and that awakening has started. The pressure is on the Republican Party to be more Democrat Party-like, and too many Republicans in Washington want to make that happen. Well, just the opposite is going to happen. The sleeping conservative giant has been awakened here. It's a beautiful thing.

I want to take a moment and applaud the Democrats in the House who voted against the Stimulus. Thank you! At least there are still some fiscally conservative Democrats in the House that are looking out for We The People who called endlessly to urge EVERY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR to vote against that wasteful spending!

Sometimes I wonder. Have some of the Republicans been hijacked by an invasion of the body snatchers or something? They are acting more like the far left liberal wing of the Democrats every day. Truly sad! Perhaps Snowe, Spector and Collins have been absorbed into the HYPEnosis ObamaBorg mentality. Have they always been that far left liberal and I just hadn't notice before? Did you ever think that they would vote with Cruella PeLIARsi and Harry ReiDUNCE?

Ugh...

What these people are doing to our economy and against our nation is criminal!!!

Makes me want to move to New Zealand!

In his article above, Eberle concludes:

In order for the Republican Party to succeed, we must have positive, fresh ideas, and we must have leadership. We can't talk about "no earmarks" and turn a blind eye when Republicans continue to do it. We can't hope for "bipartisan" solutions to issues. It's just that simple. If a solution was really acceptable to the Democrats, do you think it would involve smaller government, lower taxes, and more freedom. No! They are only interested in having a bigger, more powerful government. We need to show the American people that we believe in them, not government. We need leadership!

We need voices like Eberle's and Limbaugh's:

Limbaugh has refused to back down. Speaking Saturday to a conservative convention in Washington, he said: "What is so strange about being honest and saying, '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?"

Why indeed!!!

Rush Analyses the CPAC Speech

Excerpt:

Obama admits his budget is an attempt to reshape the foundations of our country. Just as I said Saturday, he calls his plan a threat to the status quo in Washington. He wants to undo major elements of President Reagan's conservative movement. Precisely that. That's why I am being targeted, because I represent it. Sad to say, but I am the most prominent voice for conservatism in America today. I don't mind being a prominent voice, but it's a shame that my political party wants to throw it overboard. So many people who campaigned for office and got elected on it are now wimping out in our party, out of fear, fear born of mainstream media criticism, fear born of not being critical of somebody because of the color of their skin, or just plain fear for whatever reason. So the effort to marginalize me and to impugn me, mischaracterize me since I represent the most prominent national voice on conservatism is the explanation for why they're doing it. They want to wipe out conservatism. Conservatism is the antithesis of what Obama and his people believe in.

Yep....

And this:

And the pursuit of happiness. Interesting to find that in the Declaration of Independence. Of all things, here these people, Founding Fathers are trying to construct a reason to declare independence from the tyranny of King George. Pursuit of happiness. You see, tyranny, living under tyranny does not promote happiness. It doesn't even promote contentment. Its hallmark is fear. Our Founding Fathers did not want any fear among the people aimed at government. They wanted government afraid of the people. That's why there were accountabilities; that's why the Bill of Rights; the first ten amendments to the Constitution; that's why there are elections; that's why there are checks and balances. But they look out across the country, and just use the last eight years for those of you who are tuning in now, maybe for the first time, ask yourselves, when's the last time you saw a happy Democrat, a happy liberal? They're not happy. Even liberal comedians are enraged and angry. Their jokes are rooted in a rage and anger. These are the people that wrote books and made movies about the assassination of George W. Bush and called them great literary and film works that even if we didn't agree with the premise we must understand the art that went into it, the art that was behind it. But we don't find happiness on the left, and we don't have anybody on the left encouraging anybody else to be happy.

The leader of the Democrat Party, Barack Obama every day makes statements that are designed to engage people in feelings of negativism and in some cases even panic. Panic. There's no inspiration. There's no uplifting. There is no hope. It's just the opposite. So that's why, in a very brief explanation, we fear. And that's why I was applauded when I defined conservatism as standing for life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. People were applauding it because it's under assault from the Democrat Party, from the White House on down. We're not supposed to be happy until as much of our lives as possible are controlled by these people in Washington who ostensibly have our best interests at heart. Yeah, maybe their intentions are good, but their results are abysmal. Every government program designed to elevate achievement, happiness, prosperity for the poor and the downtrodden has only increased the numbers of poor, feelings of misery, and, by the way, anger. How many Democrat voters are angry? Some have been angry for 50 years over the same things, and for 50 years the Democrats have been promising to fix it. "We're going to get even with those Republicans that are stealing your money. We're going to make sure the Republicans get outta your way. We're going to make sure there's no discrimination," and yet, nothing changes. Their grievances have not changed in 50 years.

The Democrat Party has utterly failed to deliver on their promises to people. The Democrat Party has succeeded in expanding misery, trying to spread as much possible. The Democrat Party is doing everything it can to create crisis mentality on a daily basis: angst, anger, and frustration. So there is no pursuit of happiness with these people. Life, leave it up to them and it's a crapshoot. Liberty? They're trying to stamp out as much of it as possible. Just examine your daily life and you'll understand it. And, by the way, your freedom, as far as you're concerned, might not be directly impacted, although it is, but you may not really feel it. But I'm sure you can notice people in your neighborhood -- ah -- sorry, "community" is the preferred word now -- in your state or around the country. Property owners are told what they can and can't do with their land because of a tiny little snail darter or some such thing. Just imagine it happening to you one day because if nobody stops it when it's happening to others, it's eventually going to get to everybody.

Could it be because of fear that the RNC and some Republicans in Congress are afraid to speak out, criticize (which they should!!!!) and, in some cases (are you LISTENING YET SNOWE, SPECTOR AND COLLINS!) vote against the ObamaBorg agenda? Rush thinks so...

RUSH: It will change, ladies and gentlemen. There's a lot of fear at the RNC, there's a lot of fear within the Republican Party, but that will change. We keep saying that the American people need leadership. I keep saying the conservative Republicans, "Just get some leadership." You know what? You know who needs leadership? The Republican National Committee and Michael Steele need a little leadership. The Republicans in the Senate, the elected Republicans around the country, they're the ones who need leadership. We've been looking in the wrong areas for leadership. Turns out we are the leaders. We're going to have to drag them kicking and screaming back to our core. They're caught up in so much fear because of where they live and work in Washington, DC. That's why I say it will change. This fear that paralyzes the Republican Party will change.

The Media of Mass Deception completely mischaracterized what Rush actually stated during his CPAC speech:

RUSH AT CPAC: My friends, I know what's going on. I know what's going on. We're in the aspects here of an historic presidency. I know that. But let me be honest again. I got over the historical aspects of this in November. President Obama is our president. President Obama stands for certain things. I don't care, he could be a Martian. He could be from Michigan. I'm just kidding. It doesn't matter to me what his race is, it doesn't matter. He's liberal, is what matters to me, and his articulated, his articulated plans scare me. Now, I understand, okay, "We can't say we want the president to fail, Mr. Limbaugh, that's like saying --" this is the voice of the New Castrati, by the way, guys that have lost their guts. "You can't say, Mr. Limbaugh, that you want the president to fail, because that's like saying you want the country to fail." No, it's the opposite! I want the country to survive! I want the country to succeed! (cheers and applause)

Amen!!!

Rush's Power and Compassion For America

Rush Limbaugh's speech yesterday at the CPAC conference was truly awesome! His power and compassion for America came shining through! He isn't afraid to tell it like it is! He instinctively knows (as should all conservatives by now) that the liberal left will never like us - or ever be our friends. That fact is SO TRUE - and someone needed to be brave enough to say it!

The view that "bipartisanship" wins the day is ridiculous. To liberals, "bipartisanship" means "agree with us." Like many of the Republicans stated after meeting with Obama at his wine and dine session (and, as Rush pointed out in his speech) do you think for one moment that Obama's goal was for the opposition to change his mind?? Of course not! We are political enemies with the liberals and nothing will ever change that fact! We must be brave enough to admit this and go about our agenda accordingly.

I only saw the last 46 minutes of it so I hope to find a video or transcript of the complete speech and link to them here. Rush was certainly hard-hitting against the tax and spend liberal politics that are coming out of Resident Obama!

Sean at The Nein Blog has a post up and brief video clip of Limbaugh's "bringing the house down" speech!

Common Cents has a few video clips.

Also, found a link via Common Cents to Hot Air's Full Video Link of the speech!

The bloggers are abuzz with this! Take a look at this comment thread from Hot Air:

[Liberal ObamaBorg Bot]: "No, to the average voter not blinded by ideology, they witnessed a rant full of hatred of the other side."

getalife on March 1, 2009 at 10:29 AM


Blinded by ideology? How blind do you have to be to not admit that the obama admin has had the worst start of any administration in our lifetime? You try to imagine the preponderance of Conservative appointees in a Bush administration having the level of tax and personal life scandal your parade of fools has had and tell me your side and the MSM wouldn’t be all over it 24/7 about the Culture of Corruption. Your side and the media has had zero, ZERO critical analysis of his early missteps and outright blunders. All ob has done since he took office is “rant” about what a dire dark time this country is in. Eyes wide shut, you guys are.

Daily Kos and ACORN must be paying getalife overtime pay today. Rush must have rattled someone up the chain of command with the speech.

angryed on March 1, 2009 at 12:02 PM

Yep! Rattled a lot of liberals who yell "hate" the moment anyone disagrees with them and their ObamaBORG!


Here is a link to Rush Limbaugh's site with the full transcript.

Powerful portion of the speech:

For those of you just tuning in on the Fox News Channel or C-SPAN, I'm Rush Limbaugh and I want everyone in this room and every one of you around the country to succeed. I want anyone who believes in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed. [Applause] Also, for those of you in the Drive-By Media watching, I have not needed a teleprompter for anything I've said. [Cheers and Applause ] And nor do any of us need a teleprompter, because our beliefs are not the result of calculations and contrivances. Our beliefs are not the result of a deranged psychology. Our beliefs are our core. Our beliefs are our hearts. We don't have to make notes about what we believe. We don't have to write down, oh do I believe it do I believe that we can tell people what we believe off the top of our heads and we can do it with passion and we can do it with clarity, and we can do it persuasively.

Rush Responds To Being "Alinsky-ed"

Rush Limbaugh responds to MoveOn.org's new radio smear campaign on Mark Levin's radio show. I loved the part in the Levin radio interview where Rush identifies that Obama & Co. are trying to "Alinsky"* him! He KNOWS what is going on and won't fall for their schemes, traps, and socialistic rhetoric. God bless Mr. Limbaugh! Rush, Hannity and Mark Levin are going to bring the Republican party back to its conservative roots!

Rush on the Mark Levin Radio Show

Over at Digg, Global Roamer wrote:

A page from History: Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."

Just finished reading that article over at American Thinker. Take a look at the ending:

Alinsky dedicated Rules for Radicals:
