What\u2019s happening here to the country just doesn\u2019t feel right. You know what\u2019s happened here? You know what this feels like, folks? I\u2019ll tell you exactly what it feels like to me. You tell me if this isn\u2019t close. It feels like we\u2019ve lost a war to a communist country. It\u2019s almost like there\u2019s been a coup. There\u2019s been a peaceful coup. The media has led this coup, and the Democrats have taken over with popular support. We\u2019re getting policies and implementations and things that were never, ever part of this country\u2019s design and founding.<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_82444\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushDriveByMediaLibAgenda2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I know what she feels like. I know what she\u2019s talking about. It feels like we\u2019ve lost the country. In some estimations it\u2019s almost like we lost a battle for the country. Some outside force has actually come in and taken over, and they did it without firing a shot, \u2019cause there wasn\u2019t really a war going on that anybody saw. Sort of like a peaceful coup. It happens gradually and then all of a sudden everybody wakes up, &#8220;Gee, what in the name of Sam Hill\u2019s happened here?&#8221; I understand it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sitting out there wondering what happened to your country, what happened to the people, all you gotta do is take a look pop culture media. All you have to do is look at mainstream news media or whatever you want to call them, Drive-Bys, and you\u2019ll see. All you have to do is listen to how the opposition to any of this is treated, and you\u2019ll understand it. That is really why I have so much appreciation for what Ted Cruz and his gang, if you will, are trying to do. I really do. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re the problem at all.<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama\u2019s the problem. This is the thing that frosts me about the Republican Party establishment. They run around, Sarah Palin\u2019s the problem, Ronald Reagan\u2019s the problem, Rush Limbaugh\u2019s the problem, Ted Cruz is the problem. No. Barack Obama is the problem. The modern-day Democrat Party is the problem. The pop culture media is the problem. I think that ought to be the thinking of the Republican Party, but no. They want to try to blame all of this on fellow Republicans. Mind-boggling, when you think about it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to go back to the lady on the phone who says this doesn\u2019t feel right.
