I hesitate to feed the Limbaugh-Steele beast, but it's time for its Last Supper, time to put the beast to bed. Here we have two powerful forces, committed to building a strong conservative Party, and they alone can make certain Democrats don't win their game of "divide and conquer."

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh is an inspiring entertainer, with 22 million listeners, and has been a defining voice of the conservative movement for 20 years. Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele is an honorable leader and the principled Chairman of the Republican National Committee. They've become the faces of the Party for liberals who are trying to paint a portrait of division within the GOP - it's nothing more than a game of distraction and distortion.

Call it what you want, shot in the arm, wind in the sail, kick in the pants, Rush Limbaugh's ‘National Address to the Nation' at the Conservative Political Action Conference was a blast of confetti for the Grand Old Party.

The keynote speaker hit on a few key notes that bring to mind the old Johnny Mercer tune "Mr. In Between." Limbaugh did "accentuate the positive" of President Obama, calling him a gifted politician with extraordinary talent." He encouraged the president to "eliminate the negative," saying "It just breaks my heart that he has not used that extraordinary talent and gift to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best they can be. He's doing just the opposite."

Never to shy from speaking his mind, the conservative talk show host reminded the crowd that Obama is walking a path that punishes achievement and punishes earners.
