"Conservatives don't want a 25 percent tariff on imported Chinese goods," Limbaugh explained. "The mainstream conservative base is not concerned with where Obama's birth certificate is.

We're concerned with his economics, his destroying the economy. ... I don't want the pop-culture crowd – and let's acknowledge for a second that they are made up of people who are largely ignorant about us.
