Rush Limbaugh

You go back and you examine the reasons America was founded, why it worked, what was magic about it, and you find out that people wanted to come here for cultural reasons, in addition to economic. It was rooted in liberty. It was rooted in freedom. It was rooted in the recognition of the primacy of the individual, the power of the individual over government in this country.

I don\'t even think people are even making an effort to understand Trump. I\'m thinking primarily of Democrats and media here. I think they\'re so arrogant that they don\'t look at Trump as anything other than a badly molded piece of clay that has to be fixed and reshaped and reformed. And there isn\'t any interest whatsoever in actually finding out what the guy is or what makes him tick. The only objective is to shut him down as he ticks now.

Diversity hasn\'t a thing to do with why this country is great. Diversity is not a factor in any way when defining or explaining America\'s greatness.

Never mind that from the 1600s until the late twentieth century the population the United States was 85% white, 12% black, and there have been changes demographically in the United States since the days of its founding. So they\'re trying to tell you that the United States\' greatness happened because of diversity. Well, go back and look at the days the country was founded, and they do. When they do that, they see how racist and bigoted this country was. they see the seeds for bigotry and racism and discrimination were sown at the founding, is how it\'s now taught.

If you\'re going to offer a position of great power and importance to somebody, you\'re not gonna do that publicly unless you know they\'re gonna accept it, because to refuse it is a rebuke.

It\'s a consensus that Trump, as the nominee, guarantees the election of Hillary Clinton. I\'ll guarantee you there\'s not a single Donald Trump supporter who thinks that.

Everybody in the media thinks the New York Times is the bible. So whatever is in it is safe to run and is gospel, and is unchallengeable. It\'s infallible.

Say whatever you will about Donald Trump, there\'s one thing nobody can deny, and that is he has a can-do spirit - good old American can-do spirit - and Trump\'s can-do spirit is backed up with Trump\'s can-do action.

I think one of the plans the Never Trumpers have if Donald Trump wins is to impeach him.

We\'ve had eight years of passivity with Barack Obama where whatever anybody around the world wanted to do to America, we just huffed and puffed and did nothing. And with Donald Trump, you want to do something to America, there\'s gonna be a price. And if you offend our sensibilities - we\'re not gonna put up with it. And he says and does what he does.

The summit is the mere formality, the ceremonial demonstration of what was agreed to long ago, weeks, months before the summit.

I dare say, ladies and gentlemen, it\'s even worse in some people, it\'s worse than the mistake they make in just assuming that there is the world and everything in it, and then there\'s America. And this one special place just happened. No thought\'s given to how. No thought\'s given to replicating it, even. No, that\'s where it gets even worse. Where it gets even worse is that some of those who look at the United States for what it is, special, no place like it on earth. Want to tear it down for that specific reason just because it\'s unfair.

There\'s a lot of women that wanted no part of this feminist movement way back in the late sixties. The modern era can be traced back to then. See, that\'s the thing. They portray it as though something every woman in America is part of and believes in. And it\'s not.

It\'s not uncommon for young people to expect things. It\'s part of growing up.

The worst thing you can do is to turn over your life to a political party that simply is going to use you. And the evidence is clear. Look at all of these groups that have been voting Democrat for 50 years. Take a look at the towns that have been nothing but Democrat, towns and cities, for 30 years, and just take a look at them. The evidence is right there. We got the strong, silent type, and they have been replaced by this pajama-clad kid that the Regime used to sell Obamacare. The pajama kid! The nerd in his pajamas.

Stop and think of what happened in America. The melting pot, yeah, it happened. Stop and think of what happened, from the first days of the founding. You have to go back to the Pilgrims. You have to include the Pilgrims in the founding. Why they came. What they learned on the way. What they learned after they got here. The Pilgrims, like everybody else, tried to establish a socialist collective. Bombed out. Didn\'t work. We know this, the governor wrote about it himself, William Bradford.

I don\'t know what to believe in the mainstream media anymore. My instinct is to not believe any of it, and it\'s their fault.

We need to redefine \"smart\" when talking about things Obama does, \'cause in my world he doesn\'t do smart things. He doesn\'t do intelligent things or wise things. He\'s doing destructive things.

The Democrats have made the low-information voters think they care about \'em. And the worst thing you can do is invest in the Democrat Party, the worst thing, in terms of life potential.

America is far and away superior to every other place on earth, in terms of lifestyles, liberty, and freedom. In terms of the human condition, there\'s no place like it.

If you love people, if you love the country, if you believe that everybody in the country contributes to making it great - if you love everybody and you want the best for them and if you know how they can achieve the best for them - you can\'t be afraid to tell them.

There are establishment Republicans who think Ted Cruz is not a likable guy. I don\'t understand that. I\'ve had occasion to meet him twice, but just watching him on television, he\'s not unlikable, he\'s an dislikable.

Meritocracy has nothing to do with who gets in. It\'s more who you are and where you come from and where you are employed.

The left think that this special place in the world, the United States of America, it just happened. It just is. And it\'s our responsibility, as those who are lucky and fortunate enough, to happen to have been born here. It is incumbent upon us to share that same luck and good fortune with everybody else. Otherwise we are mean, selfish, polarized, partisan, extremist, racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, whatever.

Where two nations are gonna have a summit and a joint agreement\'s gonna be announced, the joint agreement and the language is all decided before the summit ever happens.

Donald Trump supporters are as opposed to Hillary Clinton and probably more so than the Republican Party establishment is.

It must not be true when the left tell us what they really want is to help and assist and elevate the little guy, \'cause they don\'t elevate anybody. The people I\'m talking about try to make things fair by punishing and penalizing people at the top. They seek equality and fairness by reaching for the lowest common denominator they can find. Equally shared misery seems to be what their utopia is.

The left want to get rid of all opposition. They don\'t want to debate the opposition. They don\'t want to argue. They just don\'t want there to be any.

It seems from Pope Francis, immigrants, anybody who doesn\'t live here in America, has an automatic right to come here just because there\'s no other place like it on earth. And what is never discussed is how it got so special. How did it happen? Why is it so prosperous? Why is it so free?

The law exists for lots of reasons. In the case of migration, the law exists to maintain the integrity of America. We allow immigrants here, happily so. We don\'t deny legal immigrants a path to citizenship in this country. But beyond that, since we can\'t take in everybody, since everybody can\'t come here, it\'s physically not possible - well, it is. You know you could put the population of the world inside the state of Texas in 1,500-square-feet homes. I mean, you wouldn\'t want to, but you could do it.
