“Do you know what we’re celebrating today?” Rush Limbaugh asked the electric crowd. “We are celebrating a revolution. We are celebrating the most unique revolution in the history of humanity.”
That’s how Rush began his rousing speech to residents of the tornado-ravaged town of Joplin, MO yesterday. He continued to talk about how America is not a country “chosen” by God but rather “blessed” by God. And, as the blog Reboot Congress describes, he also tackled American exceptionalism:
Rush delivered a message about American Exceptionalism that focused on the uniqueness of our country’s founding 235 years ago. He spoke of the importance of freedom as well as America’s tradition of helping those in need.
In addition to his comments, Rush arranged for a truckload of his new brand of bottled tea, Two If by Tea, to be delivered to the crowd. I tried the rasberry tea and thought it was quite good.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 2:10pmI never used to listen to this guy before ,I used to think maybe he was a right, religious man who preached alot. Well he is a “right”man and a preacher but it is of freedom that he preaches and America is his religion. This man is a true defender of this great Lady Liberty and should be knighted by the king and Queen of the USA, who are America’s citizens alone.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 2:06pmGreat Speech ..But, I will have to disagree with Rush on one thing ..This Nation ..This Republic… is a Choice Nation ..Chosen by God …If we truly understand the History of this Great Nation we would understand this … God chose this land …he brought who he need to bring here so, that He would guide them in establishing this Great Nation and Republic… This Beacon of Hope to the World ..The Founding Fathers were guided by Him…But, as we have forgotten or brushed aside God … this Nation ..this Republic has been losing the Protection from on High..we are all at fault for this… we need to stop being or calling ourselves Republicans, Independents, Democrats ..etc etc and start calling ourselves Americans …we are under condemnation from God ..and unless we turn back to what made this Nation Great … and that is seeking the Guidance from God… being Humble before Him… returning to Prayer for His Protection… Living our lives in accordance to His Statutes and Commandments ..unless we do this we will lose this Republic and all the Freedoms we have… We need to seek and follow God’s counsel, wisdom, guidance, protection…Wake Up America …and Yes….Please God, Bless America … !!!

Libs hate this they dont want it that way, they want everyone equal to have all the same things so no one is better than the other…. except for them of course!

He gave the people something for free, showed them honor and respect, and lifted their spirits when they needed a life. Almost every parade or public gathering like this has companies that sell (not give) their products and provide goods and services or entertainment. I don’t see a problem with that. If it bothers anyone, they don‘t have to attend or don’t need to take the free tea or listen to Rush’s speech.

Liberals think everything in the world should be free all the time. “From each according to his ability; to each according to his need” does not work because it does not help us to figure out how to allocate resources. No one can know how to do that. Turns out the most efficient way ever to be devised to allocate resources is putting a price on them. Everybody down the line gets compensated. When it works it is a thing of beauty. Sure it can get bolloxed up, but not as badly as when government bureaucrats try to allocate resources from their offices in the capital city.
