"Conservatives LOVE People !" : RUSH LIMBAUGH | CPAC Convention 2009

The conservative radio star says LESS government is BETTER for people. * * * * * ---- [ FEB 28 2009 ]

(CNN) - Rush Limbaugh brought a cheering crowd to its feet several times Saturday in Washington as he called on fellow conservatives to take back the country in the keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

"We conservatives have not done a good enough job of just laying out basically who we are because we make the mistake of assuming that people know. What they know is largely incorrect, based on the way we're portrayed in pop culture, in the drive-by media, by the Democrat party," the conservative talk show host told a mostly-young crowd of energized supporters.

"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 Independent. We believe that the preamble of the Constitution contains an inarguable truth, that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom. And the pursuit of happiness," he said, pausing several times for enthusiastic applause.

Looking ahead to the 2012 election, Limbaugh said conservatives will have to choose the right candidate to take the country back.

Limbaugh's impassioned remarks, punctuated by chest-thumping, fist-pumping and chants of "USA" from the crowd, capped off three days of talk at CPAC focusing on rebuilding the Republican Party.

"He played to his crowd here," CNN Political Editor Mark Preston said. "And this crowd is now energized, something we haven't seen from Republicans, certainly not conservatives, since the November election."

Limbaugh used his self-described "first national address," which ran more than hour longer than his allotted 20 minutes, to criticize President Barack Obama for inspiring fear in Americans in order to push a liberal agenda of "big government."

"He wants people in fear, angst and crisis, fearing the worst each and every day because that clears the decks for President Obama and his pals to come in with the answers which are abject failures, historically shown and demonstrated. Doesn't matter. They'll have control of it when it's all over. And that's what they want," Limbaugh said.

"They see these inequalities, these inequities that capitalism produces. How do they try to fix it? Do they try to elevate those at the bottom? No, they try to tear down the people at the top. "

Limbaugh praised Obama as one of the most gifted politicians he has seen, but said, "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."

Limbaugh also dismissed the notion of bipartianship as a "false premise" given the diverging views of the Democrat and Republican parties on a variety issues, among them, the recent $787 stimulus package signed by Obama.

"Bipartisanship occurs only after one other result. And that is victory," he said.

"What they mean is we check our core principles at the door, come in, let them run the show, and then agree with them," he said.

Are you blind? Everything you just described is that of a liberal politician. You're an idiot.

[Rainydays1970]

You are so wrong. Conservatives find riches in family and in friends and when that happens you are happier and more successful in life. liberals are less happy with life and spend to much time looking at what they can take from the next guy through raising their taxes or taking it away all together. Liberals have this problem of blaming other people for their mistakes.

You need to take responsible for your life and love people. you can be successful too.

@danseretmusique - A-fucking-men to that! You hit the proverbial nail on the head. The Republican party is full of paranoid, hypocritical, victim minded bullies that cry wolf and throw the first punch. The venom they spew blaming "liberals" and President Obama for "ruining" our country is merely a diversion from people finding out about the dirty deeds done by their own kind. Everyone else is guilty of ruining America except them. Yeah right.

"Let me tell you who we conservatives are, We love people" LOL. The last time a conservative "loved" me was when i listened to them try and correct my life. This video is the biggest joke. All you people do is judge and hate on anyone who isn't like your "group". You are the reason why there is such thick walls between you and other groups. If you don't believe it, then try to look at every single youtube video and try to find a comment without one of you becoming all opinionated/judgmental.

The only common thread I see among conservatives is monumental hypocrisy. Name one neocon pundit that criticized Reagan for US selling arms to Iranian terrorists, or Reagan's legendary BIG GOVT drug war and no due process forfeiture laws, or Reagans tripling the national debt, or Reagan's raising taxes three times, and that barely scratches the surface of neocon hypocrisy. Maybe someday there honor among conservatives will be restored, but for now, its all about histrionics and hatemongering.
