VIDEO: Rush Limbaugh’s Best Speech Is Still Relevant Today & Gives One Of The Best Descriptions Of Conservative Values

This week, Rush Limbaugh’s wife Kathryn announced that the radio legend passed away.

We all knew that this day might come, on December 23 Limbaugh said on his show, “The day is going to come folks when I’m not going to be able to do this. I don’t know when that is…. I want you to understand that even when the day comes, I’d like to be here.”

Limbaugh’s speech at CPAC in 2009 and it was perhaps one of his finest hours. the speech infuriated the left and motivated conservatives. Limbaugh’s speech was on the heels of Obama being elected to his first term and he gave one of the greatest explanations of what it means to be a conservative.

The speech is relevant for today, Limbaugh described how Obama and liberals talked down about America and contrasted it to Regan’s “city on a hill.” This is similiar to how President Trump wanted to make America Great and Biden speaks of a “dark winter.”

“Now, let me speak about President Obama for just a second. President Obama is one of the most gifted politicians, one of the most gifted men that I have ever witnessed. He has extraordinary talents. He has communication skills that hardly anyone can surpass. No, seriously. No, no, I’m being very serious about this. It just breaks my heart that he does not use these extraordinary talents and gifts to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be. He’s doing just the opposite. And it’s a shame. [Applause] President Obama has the ability — he has the ability to inspire excellence in people’s pursuits. He has the ability to do all this, yet he pursues a path, seeks a path that punishes achievement, that punishes earners and punishes — and he speaks negatively of the country. Ronald Reagan used to speak of a shining city on a hill. Barack Obama portrays America as a soup kitchen in some dark night in a corner of America that’s very obscure.”


Limbaugh also articulated what being a conservative is: someone who “wants every American to be the best he or she chooses to be,” who doesn’t “want to tell anybody how to live,” who “love the people of this country,” and who “don’t hate anybody.”


You can read the entire speech here and I would encourage you to do so it was perhaps one of his finest hours that energized the base and helped Republican’s take back the House during the midterms.
