Thank you! Thank you all very much. Obama's teleprompter, am I right?
Thanks again. Wow it is cold outside. So much for that global warming, huh? Guess Obama can't play golf!
It's so good to be here among friends. I love America. I grew up on a farm. On that farm, we learned about America's greatness and loving America. After childhood, I supported myself through college working nights at my father's general store. There, I learned the values of hard work and personal responsibility. And I learned that anything is possible in this country Today, we are united as conservatives. We are ready to march on and take our country back! Here's how we do it.
First, we need to repeal and replace Obamacare. This law is an abomination. Remember what Nancy Pelosi said, that we had to pass the law to find out what's in it? It was 2000 pages!! Obamacare is a job killer. Obamacare is taking away everybody's insurance. Remember when Obama said that if you liked your plan you can keep it? Now we know that was just not the truth.
Second, we need to get rid of these burdensome taxes and regulations. Small businesses across American are being held back by government bureaucrats at the EPA and the IRS. The EPA is carrying out Obama's radical environmental agenda in the name of "global warming." And how could there be global warming, it's so cold outside! Also, Al gore is fat!!! (Hold for applause).
The IRS, we now know, is attacking you because you're conservative. It's time we stop these thug tactics right in their tracks! We need to pass tax reform so that we can get government off the back of America's entrepreneurs.
Third, we need to end our culture of dependency. Democrats and liberals have tried to buy votes of inner city urban people by giving them free government stuff, paid for by you the taxpayer. We need to give these people real opportunity, by taking away their government hammocks and introducing them to the concept of American values. That means working hard and pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. And while we're at it, let's stop these Democrats from dividing us into categories. They'll try to talk about a "war on woman" or things being "racist." But then they bring out race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Barack Obama to incite racial strife. Remember what Martin Luther King Jr, who was a Republican by the way, said about race: you should be judged by the content of your character. That means we should stop ever talking about race! It's just something liberals do to divide us.
Fourth, we need to save the economy and create jobs. We all know how that's done. First, we need to build the Keystone XL pipeline! It's a no-brainer that will bring us millions of new jobs. We need to support an "all of the above" energy strategy that takes advantage of our resources to end our dependence on foreign oil. We need to cut wasteful government spending and balance our budget. Did you know our national debt is now at $18 trillion? That's TRILLION, with a T!!! Finally, we need to stop punishing and degrading success. America's job creators are the engines of our economy and we need to celebrate their success.
Fifth, we need to defeat Islamic extremism. Yeah, I said it. I know the left-wing liberal media doesn't want to hear those words, but we're not gonna hold back and be politically correct! The President won't say Islamic terror, and that's why we still face a terror threat. How about we try a new strategy in the war against radical Islam? It's called winning! We must defeat these murderous thugs!
Sixth, we need to return to the values that make our country strong. That starts with respecting the Constitution and protecting religious liberty! There's nothing more offensive to me than bakers who are forced to defy their belief that marriage is between a man and a woman! Talk about discrimination! And we need to value every single life, including the life of the unborn!
Finally, we need to end Obama's executive amnesty. This lawless President unilaterally and illegally granted amnesty to millions of illegals. We, as Republicans, have to do everything in our power to stop this power grab.
My friends, I love America. I believe in America. Ronald Reagan once talked about a shining city on a hill. It's as true today as it was in 1980. In fact, I think we're on the cusp of another 1980. Conservatives are ready to take this country back, but we need your help! Go out and donate money to my PAC, America Loving Americans. We will stop the march to socialism and restore the America we know and love.
Thank you. Thank God. And God Bless the United States of America!
