Drinking game or neverending thread: Post a lie (or a truth) from LIMBOsevic's speech (transcript)
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 12:29 PM by UTUSN
Object of the game: Find one LIE (or TRUTH) in this "impressive" (Faux's LIE) speech.

Warning, while this is EASY, it is also a labor intensive AND vomit inducing exercise!1 And an explanation about the "truth" part: He contradicts himself all the time in his endless blathering, whether on his radio circus or here:: He tries to portray himself and his wingnuts as "a lovable fuzzball" (a LIE) but can't help letting the mask slip, "THEY'RE OUR ENEMY!1" (a TRUTH in SELF-revelation, as opposed to whom he's talking about).

I'll start with highlighting from these very few 'graphs from a VERrrrrry blowhardy speech that made JINDAL look articulate and charismatic.

Transcript of Rush Limbaugh's Address at CPAC


On conservative conference's final day, talk radio host delivers impassioned address, drawing immense ovation

.... Now, seriously, for those of you watching on C-SPAN as well, and on Fox, I want to tell you who we all are in this room. I want to tell you who conservatives are. We conservatives have not done a good enough job of just laying out basically who we are because we make the mistake of assuming people know. What they know is largely incorrect based on the way we are portrayed in pop culture, in the Drive-By Media, by the Democrat Party. Let me tell you who we conservatives are: We love people. (Applause)
When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims. We don't see people we want to exploit. What we see -- what we see is potential. We do not look out across the country and see the average American, the person that makes this country work. We do not see that person with contempt. We don't think that person doesn't have what it takes. We believe that person can be the best he or she wants to be if certain things are just removed from their path like onerous taxes, regulations and too much government. (Applause)

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 Independence. (Applause) We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. (Applause) Liberty, Freedom. (Applause) And the pursuit of happiness. (Applause) Those of you watching at home may wonder why this is being applauded. We conservatives think all three are under assault. (Applause) Thank you. Thank you.

We don't want to tell anybody how to live. That's up to you. If you want to make the best of yourself, feel free. If you want to ruin your life, we'll try to stop it, but it's a waste. We look over the country as it is today, we see so much waste, human potential that's been destroyed by 50 years of a welfare state. By a failed war on poverty. (Applause) We love the people of this country. And we want this to be the greatest country it can be, but we do understand, as people created and endowed by our creator, we're all individuals. We resist the effort to group us. We resist the effort to make us feel that we're all the same, that we're no different than anybody else. We're all different. There are no two things or people in this world who are created in a way that they end up with equal outcomes. That's up to them. They are created equal, given the chance - -(Applause) We don't hate anybody. We don't -- I mean, the racism in this country, if you ask me, I know many people in this audience -- let me deal with this head on. You know what the cliche is, a conservative: racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen of America, if you were paying attention, I know you were, the racism in our culture was exclusively and fully on display in the Democrat primary last year. (Applause) ....

And beware of those different factions who seek as part of their attempt to redefine conservatism, as making sure the liberals like us, making sure that the media likes us. They never will, as long as we remain conservatives. They can't possibly like us; they're our enemy. In a political arena of ideas, they're our enemy. ....

4. love and reverence
"We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. (Applause) We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. (Applause) Liberty, Freedom."


We love and revere our founding documents so much, that we don't even know the difference between the preamble to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Here's the preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Here's the Declaration

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

5. We don't want to tell anybody how to live.
But we'll try to stop it, if we don't like what you are doing.
