I have to say that Rush Limbaugh did not do a very good job of articulating his stand on whether he wants President Obama to succeed or fail. However, if you look past the bad superbowl analogy and get to the substance of his statements, I agree with him. I don’t want our President to succeed in taking us to socialism either.

It was a day or so after that gaff on stage by Limbaugh that I was listening to him on the radio. He was still in “explain” mode, trying to convey what he really meant with his comments at the conservative convention when he made a statement that really rang true to me. He said and I paraphrase because I don’t think I can directly quote him, but he said that conservatives are not racist. They want EVERYONE to succeed. I agree with that. I think that everyone should succeed. However, the part that the left seems to forget is that one has to work at it if they are going to succeed. You can not have success, at least as it’s defined by most people, if you sit on the bench and don’t get in the game. I don’t care what color you are, whether you like the same sex, what religion you are. It doesn’t matter. If you won’t work hard to succeed, you won’t. Now if your definition of success is getting paid to do as little as possible. Stay with or join the Democrat party. They will help you succeed.

The basic difference between the two political parties as it pertains to success is: The liberals believe that the outcome should be the same for all people. Conservatives believe that the opportunity should be the same for everyone. In other words, it’s what you make of your opportunities that will define how successful you are.
