Rush's "Speech"

Other than speeches by Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, Conservatism has never been articulated as well as Rush articulated it tonight. Conservatism is about the success and prosperity of the American people and Rush more than nailed it! Rush summed up his views on wanting the president to fail, 'I want all of you and every American who wants to be successful to be as successful as you can, and I want every person, institution, and idea who gets in the way to fail.'

Rush successfully took the left's criticism of him and turned it on his head, he framed liberalism as abject cruelty and a system created to make it's supporters feel good without regard to the consequences of the policies they support. Rush blamed liberalism for the collapse of the family, for the collapse of the minority communities they claim to so faithfully represent, and for their efforts to rebuild a massive welfare state that generations of Americans will have to pay for and that is going to put more people in depedence of government. All of these criticisms are valid, alive, and true but haven't been used by the Republican Party in a long time.

The point Rush was trying to drive home is this: we must not try and look like the Democratic Party and we must not think we will get anywhere by being a minority party, we have to set the tone, set the agenda. We can not let the policies of Barack Obama destroy the America we know and love.

I'm not going to post the speech here, but you have got to see it. Go YouTube it. It is absolutely what we needed.
