RUSH: We have the Sarkozy bites. This goes back to the call I got a minute ago<\/a> wanting to know how does Bush stack up with Ronald Reagan. We played these bites the day that Sarkozy spoke. I think it was the day after. He spoke November the 7th. He addressed a joint meeting of the House and the Senate. We\u2019ve cut all the applause here. It\u2019s been shortened to deal with constraints of time. But I want you, when you listen to these things, forget that it\u2019s a Frenchman, that\u2019s marvelous and tremendous enough. In fact, don\u2019t forget that. Ask yourself, ‘Why, all of a sudden, in a world where we are told that we are hated and we have to rebuild our image, how come pro-American conservative leaders are being elected in all these democracies, like France, like Germany, and a number of other places?\u2019 The Democrats can\u2019t get anything right. They can\u2019t tell you the truth about anything. It\u2019s anathema to them, the truth. So do keep in mind that it\u2019s a Frenchman, but also I want, as you listen to these four sound bites, ask yourself how you would feel if an American presidential candidate of any party happened to be saying these things.<\/p>\n

SARKOZY (via translator): To the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who, with their own hands, their intelligence, and their hearts, built the greatest nation in the world, America did not say, ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.\u2019 Rather, she said, ‘Come, and the only limits to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. Second bite.<\/p>\n

SARKOZY (via translator): The America that we love throughout the world embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance, another chance — because, in America, failure is never the last word. There is always another chance. Here, in your country, on this soil, both the humblest and the most illustrious citizens alike know that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned. That is what constitutes the moral value of America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. There were Democrats applauding this, but they would never <\/emphasize>say it, and not enough Republicans say it. Not enough citizens realize it anymore. I heard these and I was practically standing out of my chair here the first time I heard them. Here\u2019s the next bite.<\/p>\n

SARKOZY: America liberated us, and this is an eternal debt we owe America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on, right on, right on.<\/p>\n

SARKOZY: Every time, whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world, I think of what the American army did for France. I think of them, and I am sad as one is saddened to lose a member of one\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Nicolas Sarkozy, the new president of France. You will not hear… I do not like saying this, either, ladies and gentlemen. You will not hear an elected Democrat speak this way of the US military today. A Frenchman! By the way, he\u2019s smart. He has every reason to think this and feel it. It just stuns me that there is so much understanding of the greatness of purpose and the reason this country is what it is outside our borders, than there is inside among our elected officials. Here\u2019s the final Sarkozy bite.<\/p>\n

SARKOZY (via translator): We need France to be stronger. I am determined to carry through with the reforms that my country has put off for all too long. I will not turn back. I will implement all of them because France has turned back for all too long. I have come to present to you today a France that comes out to meet America, to renew the covenant of friendship and alliance that Washington and Lafayette sealed in Yorktown. Together let us be true to their memories. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I say this to you on behalf of the French people: ‘Long live the United States of America! Long live France! Long live French-American friendship!\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. Now, how can this even be when the Democrats and the Drive-Bys are out talking about how we\u2019re hated in the world, and we\u2019ve lost our standing and we\u2019ve lost our reputation? When you listen to that, did you imagine how you\u2019d feel if some American candidate, either party, were saying things like this about this country? Why has it become so hard for America? You know why? Because of pandering! We\u2019ve gotten to the point where, ‘People are hurting, Mr. Limbaugh. People are suffering, and they need their leaders to understand that.\u2019 So, our leaders run around and talk about, ‘I understand you\u2019re hurting, and I\u2019m representing ‘change,\u2019 and I\u2019m going to make sure that your pain is going away, so vote for me,\u2019 blah, blah, blah. So you end up pandering to people just to make them think that you care about them, when the key to unlocking misery is inside each and every one of us — and it\u2019s the person in your life that can show you how to do that that becomes the best teacher you ever had. That was one of the multitudinous things about Ronald Reagan that made him able to connect with people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
