Terrorists to receive Constitutional rights

"We're turning 200 years on its head by treating terrorists like criminals and giving them constitutional rights.  We're giving up the ability to interrogate and detain them, because from now on they'll lawyer up. To say this 'undermines our national security' is to soft-pedal it." - Rush Limbaugh

"Eric Holder said these terrorists will be tried by 'a jury of their peers.'   These guys are not citizens!   Who the hell are their peers?   The only one I can think of is Chris Matthews." - Rush Limbaugh

Stimulus is a complete flop, but Obama wants to 'talk'

"After TARP, after the stimulus to keep unemployment under 8%, after his magic fixs, Obama will have a job summit! We're going to talk more, which is what community organizers do. He's had summits on a dozen things and his ideas have all failed. People need jobs not speeches!" - Rush Limbaugh

People are sick of Obama speeches

"The Sunday NY Times questioned Obama's one true gift, saying his speeches do not inspire anymore.  Here's the dirty little secret: People are sick of speeches.  They want jobs!" - Rush Limbaugh

Editor's Note:  You hear that liberals?  People don't want speeches, they want substance!

White House is lying to you with 'saved jobs' claims

"How the hell do you calculate a 'saved' job? Honestly? You can't. You cannot! Now, they're

doing it. They've got their websites with a running total of jobs 'saved," but it's a lie." - Rush Limbaugh

Conservatism Didn't Lose in NY-23

"The huge story of NY-23 is the shambles the Republican Party 'big thinkers' made of it.   They nominated a horrendous candidate -- a liberal Republican -- and then when she left, they praised her, even as she  endorsed the Democrat! Conservatism did not lose.  What lost was Republican ineptitude and incompetence in selecting the wrong candidate from the get-go. " - Rush Limbaugh

The well-being of a family

"[T]he importance of piety and religion; of industry and frugality; of prudence, economy, regularity and an even government; all ... are essential to the well-being of a family." -- Samuel Adams, letter to Thomas Wells, 1780

Editor's Note:  Look how many things were listed BEFORE government was given consideration.....

Conservative principle and belief

"The Republican Party big tent is the United States of America .  I don't know where these people get it in their thick heads that we are exclusionary.  We are people of conservative principle and belief: Individual freedom and liberty, private property rights, a colorblind society, respect for life, the pursuit of happiness -- things that every American values or should." - Rush Limbaugh

The duty of parents

"It is the duty of parents to maintain their children decently, and according to their circumstances; to protect them according to the dictates of prudence; and to educate them according to the suggestions of a judicious and zealous regard for their usefulness, their respectability and happiness." -- James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791

Reminding people of Reagan is reminding people of founding principles

"In holding up Reagan, we're not holding up a man, a cult of personality figure. We're holding up principles. We're reminding people of how the country was founded." -- Rush Limbaugh

What caring parents do

"What is it that affectionate parents require of their Children; for all their care, anxiety, and toil on their accounts? Only that they would be wise and virtuous, Benevolent and kind." -- Abigail Adams, letter to John Quincy Adams, 1783
