RUSH: Here\u2019s Jack in Cleveland. Jack, I\u2019m glad you waited. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I\u2019m glad I waited, too. A lot of things to say from the great state of Ohio, home state of Rob Portman. We voted down Issue 3, which was for Obamacare, by 66%. We voted that down back in November. The infatuation with Obama, Rush, is over. You talked about David Axelrod. You ever hear the dangers of hubris? Does that guy come off more arrogant than ever? I can\u2019t stand even watching him on TV. You said about the Constitution, the Preamble, that we\u2019re supposed to “form a more perfect union.” Every politician should know that. I gotta get something else off my chest. You\u2019re doing more for education by giving away free iPads than anyone. I think that\u2019s great. And, come on: Two If By Tea<\/a> free shipping? Unbelievable! Unbelievable. And last thing I want to say is: You know, against Obama\u2019s health care, you gotta read Rerum Novarum. Pope Leo XIII, he spoke against socialism back there in the 1800s, late 1800s, and he said that the state should never be before the individual. The individual comes first. Obama should hear that: The individual comes first. The state\u2019s not gonna tell us what to do, and we\u2019re not gonna have Obama telling us what to do anymore come November because —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s heard it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — Mitt Romney is gonna be in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Believe me, Obama knows the opposite of what he believes. <\/p>\n

He rejects it. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s been raised to think that it\u2019s the problem. <\/p>\n

Obama was raised and educated to believe that the founding of the country was immoral and unjust, that free markets are not free, that they\u2019re only free for the people that cheat and steal from others. You understand that Mike Barone column<\/a> today is really great? Liberals are looking nostalgically at the jobs of the past. You come out of high school, you immediately go get a union job, you work on that assembly line for 30 years and then you quit. Folks, in fact, let me illustrate this with a personal story. My father was this way but not for the same reason Democrats are. Democrats are this way because they have a negative opinion of you. They view average people with contempt. <\/p>\n

You\u2019re just not competent. They have to look at you that way, otherwise there\u2019s no need for them to help you. You must be — even if you aren\u2019t, you must be — treated as inept and incompetent. So these monotonous union jobs? “Hey, that\u2019s great! That\u2019s great! That\u2019s what America always was: You work at \u2019em for a while and then you get your pension<\/a>, your benefits, and you quit. For the rest of your life, you\u2019re paid. It\u2019s hunky-dory.” Barone points out the dirty little secret is that people that had those jobs hated them. They were redundant. They were boring. There wasn\u2019t any chance for advancement because the union rules saw to that. <\/p>\n

You couldn\u2019t stand out.<\/p>\n

You were just a dime a dozen. <\/p>\n

My dad had a different reason for this thinking. The formative experience in my father\u2019s life was the Great Depression, and then World War II. My father was born in 1918. And the Great Depression for people that lived through it was the most formative thing the rest of their lives, second only to the communist threat vividly made by Nikita Khrushchev at the United Nations. I\u2019ll stick with the Great Depression. My father was insistent that I get a college degree because that was the only way you had to avoid the Great Depression. An education, a formal education, was the only chance you had at being hired for something meaningful. <\/p>\n

Of course he wanted for me and my brother something meaningful. I remember I started in radio when I was 16 and he didn\u2019t understand it. It didn\u2019t make sense to him; he didn\u2019t see what future there was in playing records to teenagers on the radio, especially as I got older. As I were to get older, he\u2019d say, “Well, where\u2019s this gonna go?” But it was the first thing I had not quit. I quit Boy Scouts. I quit Cub Scouts. I quit tiddlywinks. I quit everything, because everything bored me. Well, except I played baseball. But I wasn\u2019t good enough to go very far in that. But radio was the first thing in my life he\u2019d ever seen me have total passion for. So he bit his tongue and got out of the way. <\/p>\n

But it bugged him for the rest of his life, even after I started doing talk shows in Sacramento, \u2019cause he still didn\u2019t understand it. When I quit radio in 1979, I went to work for the Kansas City Royals for $12,000 a year. I quit. I thought I\u2019d burned out on radio. It was \u201979, so I was 28, and that\u2019s too old to really be a top 40 deejay. So I\u2019d given it my best shot and it didn\u2019t work. I thought I\u2019d work for the Royals. When I quit radio I was at $32,000. My first job at the Kansas City Royals was $12,000 a year, and he was never happier. You know why? ‘Cause that was solid. That was a corporation. Plus, it was sports. That was big. But I\u2019ll never forget he said, “If you play your cards right, in 20 or 30 years you\u2019ll be a vice president and you\u2019ll have a company car.”<\/p>\n

When you come out of the Great Depression, that was a big deal. <\/p>\n

That was something to aspire to. <\/p>\n

Now, my father was a lawyer. That meant he was a self-employed entrepreneur, and those were rare things even back then. In his mind, everybody worked for somebody. And you had to thank the person that hired you every day, and you had to express gratitude to \u2019em every day. You had to kiss their feet every day and whatever they wanted you to do, you did. ‘Cause the Great Depression, that\u2019s what you did to keep your job or get a job. You couldn\u2019t afford to get fired. Nobody could. It was horrible. So after five years with the Royals I was making $17,000. I got a thousand-dollar-a-year raise, and I never got the car. But I had found out that it wasn\u2019t cut out for me. <\/p>\n

The corporate structure was way too limiting. I went back to radio, and he considered himself a failure. I was passing up the chance to eventually be a VP and get a company car. I got back into radio — and spoken word, news, talk, controversy — my dad didn\u2019t understand it. He was also hard-of-hearing and couldn\u2019t hear me on the radio. He never was able to hear me do my show. Never. Even until he died, he was never about to hear it. He always had to hear “about” it. The only time he was able to hear me was when I was on Nightline or something, which blew him away. He didn\u2019t think I knew enough, \u2019cause I had quit college — and that\u2019s another reason he thought I was a failure. <\/p>\n

So people of a certain age… He was born in 1918, coming out of the Great Depression. My father would not believe my life, is what I\u2019m trying to tell you. He would not believe it. Even though there was no greater patriot, there was no greater believer in free markets and prosperity, he just would not believe it because I didn\u2019t follow the formula that was established by the Great Depression. And he loved airplanes. He flew P-51s in World War II in the China-Burma Theater. He flew B-25s and B-17s and he taught others to fly them. He was in the Army Air Force and he taught others to fly \u2019em. He just loved that stuff. He would not believe my life.<\/line><\/p>\n

He would not believe it possible, not because the country wouldn\u2019t make it possible but because of the route that I took. <\/p>\n

Now, the way this correlates with the Democrats is the Democrats look at people and see hopelessness because the country is unjust. My father never thought that. My father thought I was not meeting my potential by not going to college, by not hanging in there for 30 years at the baseball team and getting a company car and a vice presidency. That, to him, was nirvana. The Democrats look at these union jobs, as Michael Barone points out, as nirvana. Because that\u2019s all you\u2019re capable of in this country! Because the real successful people are stealing it all from everybody else, and they\u2019re cheating.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why we\u2019ve gotta give you a job that\u2019s gonna pay you a pension and health care for the rest of your life \u2019cause the rich are gonna deny it to you otherwise. So there is this contempt for people that the Democrats have, and a lack of confidence and a lack of faith. We, of course, are the exact opposite. My father never doubted the country and the way it was founded and the abilities that people had if they wanted to exercise them. He just thought I saw taking advantage of the opportunities the country provided. He just didn\u2019t understand radio, didn\u2019t understand the passion I had for it. Well, he understood the passion I had for it but he grew to regret it because he thought I would burn out of that and eventually grow up and become a vice president with a company car. <\/p>\n

But the whole point here is that Barack Obama has been raised to believe that this country does not provide opportunity for everybody, that the game\u2019s rigged by the rich starting with the Founders. And the only way to make it fair is to make sure that people do get lifetime health care and pensions without having to work, or only after 30 years of work. That\u2019s their nirvana, and that\u2019s the past that they\u2019re trying to re-create. That\u2019s what\u2019s frustrating for all of us because we see the potential of the country and we see the potential of the people who live here if they\u2019re just turned loose! But the Democrats don\u2019t see that in your future, and they don\u2019t want you to see it.<\/p>\n

They want you to have these menial stuff where you need them. That\u2019s the whole point of the way they derive their power. So my father, in one way, saw things the way Obama did. But specifically in my case, only because I wasn\u2019t taking advantage of the greatness of the country, he thought, and I was not listening to his great advice (which he took personally) by not following the formula. Obama and the Democrats think the country is what stands in your way. And that\u2019s our problem, folks. The country does not stand in your way. Ironically, what\u2019s standing in your way is Obama and the Democrats. You get them out of office, get them out of the way and let the private sector work — where greatness, creativity, genius, and entrepreneurism exists — and we\u2019re back. <\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t gonna happen with these people running the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
