Rush Limbaugh - I Care More Than You Ribbons

From RushLimbaugh.com

On the April 15, 1993 episode of my award-winning television show, I had a segment in which I showed up at the beginning of the show wearing multiple multicolored ribbons. I had the AIDS ribbon, the deficit spending reduction ribbon, and eight or nine others pinned to the upper left side of my jacket. As you can see in the screen grabs below, it looked quite colorful. It also looked quite absurd.

I did this to make the following brilliant, insightful point. All these people, at the time, kept showing up with ribbons proclaiming these causes, and what they were trying to do was say, "I'm better than you. I care more than you. I'm wearing a ribbon." So the more ribbons you wore, logically, the more you cared - and that lapel of fruit salad clearly made me the most caring man in America on that April night.

Liberals love and embrace symbolism over substance. No ribbon ever cured a disease or reduced the national debt or promoted gay tolerance or accomplished any of the other causes these ribbons professed. All they did was make those wearing them feel like they did their part - when what had they really done? They'd simply accessorized and showed their good intentions.
