Here is an FR thread with the entire transcript.

The best 10 ideas as expounded by Rush Limbaugh:
1)Don’t treat the voters like children and pander to what you think they want; instead tell them what is right, try to persuade them and hopefully they will learn and oonvert.
2)Conservatives mistakenly ASSUME that the American people know what conservatism is all about. Instead they allow the opposition to define them.
3)”We don’t want to tell anybody how to live. That’s up to you. (This may be the most important line of his whole speech.)
4)”I want anyone who believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an orcharching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I wnat you to succeed.”
5)”And if you start thinking of yourself as a minority, you’re going to be defensive. And you’ll allow the majority to set the agenda and the premise and you’re responding to it.”
6) “We can take this country back. All we need is to NOMINATE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE. It’s no more complicated than that.”
7)The idea of Obama being unfair to punish people for entrepreurial desire and ability and hard work
“The people that make this country work, the people who pay their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they’re not the enemy.”
“We can’t have a great country and growing economy with more and more people being told they have a right...to the earnings of others.”
8)”...for intelleectuals, pseudo-intellectuals and all liberals, it’s all about control. It’s not about raising revenue.” (Dr. Friedrich Von Hayek)
9)”Spending a nation into generational debt is not an act of compassion.”
10)”...I want Barack Obama to fail in his mission...to restructure and reform this country, so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation...Why would I want that to succeed?...I want the country to survive. I want the country to succeed.”
Well for starters, the POTUS isn't just any politician, he the leader of the free western world.
If he didn't at least give his political opponents a fair say, we will eventually have civil unrest, that's why we are, or were, a "Republic" and not a pure "Democracy" Under Obama we might get civil unrest if he isn't careful since vast number of (conservative) people are being truly disenfranchised
The POTUS represents all the people regardless of their party loyalty. He is the leader of the country and should do what's best for the country.
We, the people elected George Bush, John McCain, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter etc. Don’t blame Obama’s ascendancy on Bush! The fact is, we’ve been far too complacent in safeguarding our liberties for decades. We were neither vigilant nor energetic enough to do the work required to secure the kind of government befitting our founding! We let the mental defectives among us, out-work us and dictate the order of the day! We have to get off of our butts and do what’s necessary for the survival of this country!
Do you feel better about yourself now?
Show me evidence where I said, "Hussein is my man". Or, apologize for being a liar.
” he the leader of the free western world.”
You left out the verb. It should read, “ he be the leader of the free western world.”
Thanks so much for posting the link...remarkable speech, and I have eight more sections to watch!
I would like to have it in one file (as opposed to 10 pieces).
Are you suggesting that Rush Limbaugh not speak out?
Is it "Lack of Reading Comprehension Day" on FR? Where did I say that?
“”We need to hear, at least once a day, hitlery’s shriek on how patriotic it is to criticize any administration.
This must be a constant mantra on every single talk show””
ALONG with ZERO’s proclamation of NO EARMARKS - over and over until they come out to disconnect our TVs....
LOL........not that a far chance that they disconnect our TV. More likely tho is that FNC will be off the air.
Don’t you love a happy ending?
I loved his speech to the Nation last night but I sure wish Rush would watch his health I think he should lose a couple of Lbs.

Please send this link to everyone you know. I will.
I wonder if you’ve taken your prozac this a.m. You sound highly speculative and judgmental.
