WATCH: Rush Limbaugh's Greatest Speech -- Keynote Address to CPAC, 2009
Feb 18, 2021 5 mins, 1 sec
[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 don’t see people we want to exploit.

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 want to tell anybody how to live.

If you want to ruin your life, we’ll try to stop it, but it’s a waste.

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.

For those of you just tuning in on the Fox News Channel or C-SPAN, I am Rush Limbaugh and I want everyone in this room and every one of you around the country to succeed.

[Applause] President Obama has the ability — he has the ability to inspire excellence in people’s pursuits.

And it’s troubling, because this is the United States of America.

Anybody ever ask — and I’m in awe of our country and I ask this question a lot as I’ve gotten older.

We, nevertheless, in less than 300 years — and by the way, we’re no different than any other human beings around the world?

We’re not better just because we’re born in America.

The freedom we spoke of earlier is the freedom, it’s the ambition, it’s the desire, the wherewithal, the passions that people have that gave us the great entrepreneurial advances, the great inventions, the greatest food production, the human lifestyle advances in this country.

It’s in my — This is a core.

I want the best country we can have.

We want the most prosperous people.

We want this country to be so damn great and we just cringe to watch it — basically, capitalism, be assaulted and our culture be reoriented to where the people that make it work are the enemy.

The people that make this country work, the people patying their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession — to not participate in it — they’re not the enemy.

All of these things are coming down the pike, because it’s not about revenue generation to them, it’s about control.

You know, if you really want to unhinge a liberal — it’s hard to do because they’re so unhinged now anyway, even after — but all you have to do is say you know what, the things you people do, the things you people believe in, are cruel?

They are the best people on the — they’re the good people.

I swear, folks, you do not know in just the everyday life that you live in your neighborhoods, your homes, or — a favorite word of this administration, your “communities,” [Laughter] remember, the root word there is “commune.” [Applause] — be happy, live your life according to your values and principles.

Knowing you’re going to fail, no human being is perfect, you’re going to make mistakes, but live your life — you’ll be stunned at how many people you impress.

Don’t be afraid to tell children that they’re wrong.

They don’t know what you do.

It’s not their fault, but they’re being fed a bunch of garbage in school and don’t be afraid to tell them that they’re wrong?

[Applause] Somebody says they want something that’s bad for them, do you give it to them just to be nice.

It’s about all of us with shared values trying to make sure that people live the highest quality lives they can, but yet ultimately, it’s their decision as to what they do.

But the point is, don’t treat them like — especially voters — as kids just, “If they say they want it, okay, we’ll come up with a plan to give it to you.”.

I mean, there’s some people you can’t say you want the President to fail.

Talk to Justice Clarence Thomas about how they try to destroy lives, reputations, and character — and I’m supposed to say I don’t want the President to fail.

[Applause] We’re in for a real battle.

We are talking about the United States of America — and there will always be an America, don’t misunderstand me — we’re talking about it remaining the country we were all born into and reared and grown into.

Don’t treat people as children.

We — in fact, for those of you watching my first national address and still hanging in there — we really are not that happy about being a minority and we’re out to change it.

[Applause] So I have — I’ve gone over my allotted time by an hour.

Now wait, see — I understand it’s mutual.

And I hear people — you have made my heart grow so much that it barely fits in my chest cavity here tonight.

But the things that by virtue of your listening to my radio show and being active in this movement that we all cherish and love, you have meant more to me, my family, and my life than whatever it is I might mean to you, even though I know that’s considerable.

And I can’t tell you how appreciative I am and proud to be in a movement with the same passions, desires, and core beliefs that all of you have, because we know that it’s right for the country, and we know it’s right for people.

The people that do want control look at us as the enemy.

We’re always going to be — don’t ever measure your success by how many Drive-By Media reports you see that are fair to us.

Don’t measure your success by how many people like you.
