I finally got to see the speech...WOW!!!

While some on here will refuse to watch the Rush speech at CPAC, I hope that others, Conservative or Not, will take the time to watch.

He made some great points and this could well serve as a rallying cry to conservatives everywhere to ride the current wave of Liberalism and then gather together to take back this nation in 2010!!!

wow. 10 video segments to view the complete speech? I knew that rush has a propensity to be verbose, and really, really likes to hear himself speak, but gee whiz that's ridiculous!

"I want to take [the speech] seriously"....and then tells a series of jokes. odd to say the least.

"when [conservatives] look out over..america..we don't see victims"...except of course conservatives, who are perceived "incorrect based on the way we are portrayed in pop culture, in the Drive-By Media, by the Democrat Party." nope, no victimization there!

"we don't want to tell anybody how to live". unless of course you are gay and want to marry.

"It just breaks my heart that [obama] does not use these extraordinary talents and gifts to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be." are you kidding me? if there is ONE thing obama has done is inspire people, where the heck has limbaugh been to not see this?

"To us, bipartisanship is them being forced to agree with us after we politically have cleaned their clocks and beaten them. And that has to be what we're focused on". yeah rush, it's not about forging consensus and moving the country forward, it's all about your side winning and the other side losing!

"Take the favorite villain you've got, maybe it's John Thain at Merrill Lynch, because he used his own money, his company's own money, his company's own money, to redecorate a bathroom in an office for $1.2 million." nice rush, you're not making thain a victim..no, not at all. and second rush, merrill was a publically traded company, so no it's not "his own money", it's the stockholders money, and it wasn't anyone in the government who tossed his ass to the curb, it was b of a itself.

what a windbag. a very pompous, arrogant self-promoting windbag.

What an intellectual ganiff.

I used to listen to Rush, back when I was young and naive...in the heady wake of the Reagan era. It didn't take me long to figure out that Rush himself was guilty of all the fallacies he ascribed to his political would-be foes.

Rush starts this speech by saying that conservatives "love people," that they don't see "groups," they see "Americans"--that they see the potential in every person and believe that people will achieve their best if obstacles are removed from their way.

Hello! That's the progressive creed! Notice how Rush stole it for rhetorical effect. Conservatives do indeed see groups. They see the haves and the have-nots. And removing obstacles from people's way? Rush means removing obstacles from the way of good conservatives--which means, basically: lower my taxes so I can attain more personal wealth.

Rush says that he wants every American to be the best they choose to be. He supports this with some lofty talk about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". (Always dress yourself in the constitution if you have nothing better to offer.) He says these things are under attack, but he doesn't say by who.

He says that conservatives don't want to tell anyone else how to live. Um...that's the "attack" you are talking about, Rush.

He says that conservatives don't hate anybody...and if you want to see racism you need only to look to the Democratic primary last year.

Conservatives like Rush do hate people. And they do see groups, which is how they know who to hate. You know who conservatives hate the most? Yeah, they hate blacks and they hate fags and they hate environmentalists...but what they mostly hate is liberals.

Because liberals threaten their lifeblood, and they know it.

How amusing it was to see Rush remark that his speech was being carried on Fox and as such represented his first "address to the nation," followed by raucous applause. Conservatives believe they ARE the nation.

Let them rot among their own self-delusions, as far as I am concerned. I have never seen a more insular, combative, divisive group. They are thirty years behind the times, but oh boy, are they holding on strongly to that string.

Thank you for illustrating Rush's point...there is no middle ground, you are either Liberal or Conservative.

Are you claiming that both sides are equally removed from said "middle ground?"

[Kirobaito]

I think it's incredibly important that inalienable truths of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness aren't found in the Preamble to the Constitution. They're in the Declaration of Independence, as any adult should know (obviously some, or most, don't - fine), much less someone who considers himself gifted enough to talk about it at a freakin' political rally. What a disgrace.

It's obvious enough that Rush doesn't care about the Constitution, though, as no unabashed fascist does.

Obama Budget Irresponsibility Inconsistency

Posted by Tad DeHaven

Page 14 of the President’s FY2010 budget “blueprint” contains a section called “Fiscal Irresponsibility” that deserves scrutiny:

“Another manifestation of irresponsibility is the large budget deficits we are inheriting. These deficits, over time, will harm economic growth and impose burdens on our children and grandchildren.”

True.

“Between 2000 and 2008, real Government outlays increased at a 3.6 percent annual average rate, three times the 1.2 percent annual average rate between 1992 and 2000…Furthermore, the amount of debt held by the public has nearly doubled to $6.4 trillion from 2001 to 2008. We are now living with the fallout of this deep fiscal irresponsibility.”

True.

“Unfortunately, we are also inheriting the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression—which will force us to increase deficit spending temporarily as we try to jumpstart economic growth.”

Time-out. The administration accurately states that federal spending and debt have increased at a detrimental pace this decade. Then it says we’re in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

And the solution to the economic downturn caused in part by too much spending and debt is to increase deficit spending and further run up the national debt? By the administration’s own logic, shouldn’t we be experiencing economic growth with all the deficit spending it “inherited?”
