Wednesday Quotes: Professor Limbaugh's Pearls
February 9, 2010
"We are confronted by people who believe in the destruction of this society,
and we have to get hold of the levers of power as fast as possible to stop this."
"I consider myself a grassroots person.
I'm not a political aficionado in some media capital.
I'm a guy on the radio who has closer ties with the people who make this country work than I
have with politicos, politicians, intellectuals and effete snobs in Washington and New York."
"It is never appropriate to silence yourself if that means silencing your principles."
"Can't get any worse than Bush?
Well, here we are.
It is so much worse that the country as we know it is hanging in the balance."
"We all have our roles, motivations, and opportunities.
We should do all that we can in our own way to advance our ideals.
There's simply no alternative here if you love the country."
"The federal government's closed today, and along with it FEMA.
There are people nevertheless working 24/7 to clear the streets, fix power lines, to get entire cities back to work.
These are unsung heroes, and they are using the internal combustion engine and traditional energy sources in order to do their work."
"Thank God for the internal combustion engine, my friends.
Thank God for the hardworking Americans who make and drive 'em."
"We embarked over a year ago on a course to save America, and you're part of it, you're making it happen, and we will."
"Obama doesn't have one person in his cabinet that has private sector experience in business.
Well, John Kerry ran a muffin shop, but look how that turned out.
That didn't turn out well.
There's not one person in his cabinet.
All they have is a bunch of theoreticians."
"You never borrow money to expand payroll.
Business circumstances cause that to happen.
Obama says he's talked to small business people who said, yeah, they would love to do that but they can't get loans, which is not true."
"JP Morgan Chase is just one of many Wall Street firms who are fed up with donating money
to Democrats in exchange for being made the whipping boys for all these problems.
So JP Morgan Chase has declined Democrat Party solicitations this year and instead has given $30,000 to the Republicans.
Now, could that be a factor?
Could Obama be that petty?"
"We need a conservative victory, not a Republican victory per se, because if we get what is said to be a
Republican victory, not much is going to change. The GOP leadership, to me, now -- I hope I'm wrong about this --
but the GOP leadership still doesn't understand what we're facing and who we're facing and the perilous state of the nation."
"Most of the tyrannical revolutions that we've had in recent history were not led by peasants.
They were led by the children of intellectuals or the children of the wealthy to upper middle class parents."
"Do you know what is a centerpiece of the jobs bill?
The extension of unemployment benefits."
"An EIB shout-out to the unsung heroes, the people outside their homes clearing the streets so everybody,
including the environmentalist wackos, can get wherever they have to go."
"Everything that used to be unbelievable is not only believable, it is happening."
"So now when we call Obama 'a professor,' we are racist."
"We've got the N-word, the R-word, and now the P-word -- professor.
So we gotta speak in code, and only people who know what the P-word is will understand what we're saying?"
"A bunch of white people who thought electing a black president would
assuage all of their guilt and erase our racial past, voted for Obama.
They couldn't have cared less what he thought, what he said.
They didn't think of him as uppity; they were being selfish!"
"One of the reasons I don't call Obama 'professor' is because he never was one!
Calling him a professor is elevating him. He was a visiting lecturer."
"The Republicans are hot as hell.
The Democrats have to cool 'em off.
The Democrats have to somehow (along with their willing accomplices in the media) make it look like
Obama's failures are only due to Republicans not willing to compromise, not willing to engage in bipartisanship.
That's the trap."
"Anything with 'workers' in it is a Communist Party."
"From the outset, I questioned whether we were being conned by everyone in Washington --
Republicans, Democrats, whoever -- about this TARP bailout.
We still have $200 million of the $700 million for TARP unspent!
What crisis was there, really?"
"You have to treat the president, whoever he is with a certain amount of respect -- if you're Republican.
The Democrats, of course, throw that out the window."
"The elections are coming up in November, and that's the first opportunity we're going to have to put the brakes on this.
But much, much more than that needs to be done."
"Everybody has good qualities. Everybody has aspects about them that are likable, so here you go.
Obama is 'clean.' He's 'articulate.' He's 'light-skinned,' and he can speak 'without a Negro dialect' when he wants to --
and he's not an 'F-ing R-word,' although he is 'the P-word.'"
"Bush spent a lot of money but nowhere near what Obama has spent.
There was nowhere near that in the Bush era, nowhere near a $1 trillion deficit."
"There is not an elected Republican leader with anywhere near, in our party, the stature that Obama has.
We just don't have that."
"Don't discount and underestimate, ladies and gentlemen, the viciousness of this anger at Obama from his own side."
"I think Obama's the kind of guy that had people turning C's into A's for him, if he needed to for whatever reason."
