RUSH: I\u2019m realizing some of you might not a-heard it if the local EIB affiliates cut away to cover the president who also appeared shortly after this program began. And one of the themes my opening comments<\/a> was reacting to everywhere I\u2019m seeing in the media that Obama finally backed down. “Obama caved. Yes, he did! We talked him back down. He no longer… He can\u2019t tell the Catholic Church what to do. Obama got the message. Obama, he\u2019s slinking away in shame.” I said, “No, he\u2019s not,” and no, he did not cave in any way, shape, manner, or form. “Obama offers a compromise proposal said to be respectful of religious concerns.” Now, look at this. The right to religious liberty in this context is unequivocal in our country and in the Constitution. <\/p>\n

Since when does a president have the power to threaten to issue a rule gutting religious liberty and then claims the power to make compromises on that issue? <\/line>He doesn\u2019t have the power to do anything that he did today. He doesn\u2019t have the power to dictate that anybody, anywhere, provide taxpayer-funded abortion or abortion services, or contraception. He doesn\u2019t have the power. And particularly with the separation of church and state and the Bill of Rights. The government just can\u2019t get in religion in any way, shape, manner, or form. But when it\u2019s religion and it\u2019s the Catholic Church and it\u2019s Obama telling them, “Hey, we know you don\u2019t like abortion, but guess what? You\u2019re gonna have to start paying for \u2019em! Ha-ha-ha-ha.” <\/line><\/p>\n

He can\u2019t do that. Then he comes along and offers a compromise. “Okay, we\u2019ll shift my demand that this be done to the insurance companies,” and everybody says, “Good, we beat him back!” No, you didn\u2019t. Nobody beat Obama back on this. He\u2019s just now telling another group he has no legal authority over what they\u2019re gonna have to do. He can\u2019t any more tell the Catholic Church what they have to do than he can tell insurance companies what they have to do. Not by fiat. The president does not have the kind of power Obama is wielding. But he\u2019ll get a with it as long as nobody tries to stop him. Recess appointments when there aren\u2019t any recesses?<\/p>\n

Fine, he\u2019ll do it! If the Senate is not gonna stop him, if he\u2019s gonna make recess appointments when we\u2019re not even in recess and the Senate accepts it? Why stop, if you\u2019re him? Just because it\u2019s unconstitutional doesn\u2019t mean that that alone is going to disallow him from doing it. People rob banks even though it\u2019s against the law. And if we stop trying to catch bank robbers, a lot more people would be robbing banks. If we stop trying to catch murderers, a lot more people would commit murder. By the same token, the law doesn\u2019t stop people from doing things. It\u2019s the enforcement that does. <\/p>\n

So if the Senate\u2019s not gonna enforce its own rules and stand up for itself, Obama\u2019s gonna keep getting away with this. So the Catholic Church did stand up. They said, “You can\u2019t make us do this. This is outrageous.” Obama says, “Okay, fine, fine. I\u2019ll move on. I\u2019ll make the insurance companies do it.” At the end of the day, he\u2019s still mandating that a business or an industry over which he has no legal authority whatsoever must now, at his direction, make available free conception and abortion-related services. He doesn\u2019t have this authority. He didn\u2019t have the authority to make the initial demand; he doesn\u2019t have the authority to make the “compromise.” <\/p>\n

And this is how we lose our liberty and how we lose the Constitution. The suggestion that Obama has the power to alter that which he doesn\u2019t have the power to do in the first place, is unacceptable. This is I guess another way of illustrating this is — and this is exactly what happened today, by the way. Obama does something that\u2019s so abhorrent to people that they stand up and say, “You can\u2019t do that.” Making Catholic Church pay for, fund, make available abortion services, contraception services. He doesn\u2019t authority to do that. But the moment he backs down in their minds and shifts the responsibility insurance companies, people say, “Okay, fine. Good.” <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t have the authority to do either. He got away with it. He just switched the victim in this case. So just like the woman who got angry (in my estimation at the wrong thing) in Wyoming when they wouldn\u2019t let her on the airplane, people today who think President Obama got beat back are missing the point. He wins big. He has just codified now the notion that taxpayers, via insurance companies or whatever, can be forced to provide whatever he demands be provided. And that whoever pays for it, at whatever price he suggests or demands, will become the law of the land. This is not the United States of America. This is not the US Constitution.<\/p>\n

And if people think they have won when Obama backs off from making the church do it, when he had no authority to do that in the first place? If you think that you\u2019ve won because you\u2019ve shifted this now to the insurance companies? You haven\u2019t won anything. He\u2019s still exercising the same unconstitutional power. He\u2019s still making edicts he has no authority and no power to do. That\u2019s why in the opening monologue I was railing against this notion that there\u2019s been a giant cave here. There\u2019s no compromise. There\u2019s no negotiation. Obama is not empowered to interfere with religious liberty, pure and simple, but he\u2019s gotten away with it here in spades. And this illustrates by the way…<\/line><\/p>\n

This is a little microcosm: This illustrates the danger of Obamacare at large. Everything can be called a matter of preventative care. The way he\u2019s selling this, the way they\u2019ve done this, Obama and the White House love to say, “This mandate\u2019s about preventative care.” This is from their fact sheet that they just released on this today. “Under the new policy to be announced today, women will have free preventive care that includes contraceptive services no matter where she works.” So we\u2019re not even talking about abortion now. We\u2019re not even talking about the killing of a baby. We\u2019re talking about “preventive care.” So under that rubric, Obama\u2019s a savior! Obama is a hero! <\/p>\n

“He is preventing illness. What he\u2019s doing is good. What he\u2019s doing is filled with love and compassion and goodness,” they want us to believe. And so he can tell us how to live every aspect of our lives to “prevent” us from getting sick. Whatever he can redefine as “preventive medical care,” he can make us do. If that involves what you can and can\u2019t eat, where you can and can\u2019t breathe, where you can and can\u2019t so-called pollute the air? The authority that he\u2019s gonna end up with after this, if it\u2019s fully implemented, is genuinely frightening and shocking scary. “Preventive care” the new definition is: Keeping women from being “punished” with babies. <\/p>\n

Because as we heard today from Gwendolynne Moore: Pregnancy leads to the destruction of families<\/a>. And so Obama\u2019s coming in to save the day, saving families, saving women\u2019s health, preventive care by making abortion available, contraception available, paid for by whoever he makes pay for it, provided by whoever he demands provide it. So there was no cave. There was no beating Obama back. There was no winning the day in any way, shape, manner, or form. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just remembered during the break what our first caller had to be referring to in the opening monologue<\/a> that some of you might have missed if the local station cut away to listen to Obama, to carry Obama. I went through litany of things the Democrat Party is famous for telling us we can\u2019t do, freedoms that they tell us we don\u2019t have, things that we can\u2019t do. Like you can\u2019t throw a beach ball or a Frisbee or football on the beach in LA County \u2019cause one person mighta got hit in the head! So now we can\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n

They tell us we\u2019re the party of “no,” and they\u2019re the ones proscribing all of these activities that used to be common, everyday freedoms. So what we\u2019ve done, I told Koko, “Look, I can\u2019t go back and repeat hours. I could do it, but we want to keep moving forward.” So Koko has posted, already, the first hour at RushLimbaugh.com for those of you who missed it \u2019cause your station carried Obama. It\u2019s now up, you can read it, see it. The transcription is there, and the audio from the opening hour, as well as those of you in the media who want to be able to misquote it. It\u2019s there for you as well. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, expensive legal fees should not stand between you and making important decisions. I know that many of you are the in process of deciding time to do a will or living trust. LegalZoom is the answer. If you are thinking about starting your own business, you have to do some things that are legal first to get started. LegalZoom is where you should do it. LegalZoom\u2019s step-by-step process is simple and you get total customer support, now including attorney help if you need it. But we did Two If By Tea.<\/a> We put that together. We — just to check LegalZoom and — and see it for ourselves. We did part of what was necessary with LegalZoom.com. And it was simple, and it was actually somewhat fun, too. Everything that we did, we were guided along the way. We didn\u2019t need attorney help because I come from a family of attorneys, but everything that needed to be done was done flawlessly, anything that was put together legally would pass inspection in courts. It\u2019s solid stuff. And many of the people who started companies in the Inc. 500 list have used LegalZoom as well. It\u2019s fun to take control of some of these things that you think are out of your reach, that you can\u2019t do, that you need somebody — you can do a lot of legal things yourself, for personal and business documents that have been accepted in courts and government agencies in all 50 states, you can trust LegalZoom for a better way to do the law. Go to LegalZoom.com. The attorney support\u2019s provided through independent attorneys available in most states. Legally isn\u2019t a lawyer. Self-help services provided at your direction. But it\u2019s actually fun and productive, gets the job done at the same time. <\/p>\n

Okay, Lee in New York City, thank you for waiting. You\u2019re next on Open Line Friday. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How are you, Rush? It\u2019s an honor to speak to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir, I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: As you were saying, you\u2019re spot on with your analysis there. This administration has been doing this from the very beginning. It\u2019s almost like dealing with your child where you set a curfew when your child wants to go out. You set a time, and the child tells you two hours later than what your curfew time is, and then you back off and give him the extra hour you never planned on giving them. This is the same as Obama and his administration. They always ask for way more than what they\u2019re intentionally looking for, knowing that when they back off, they\u2019re still going to reach the middle ground goal that they were remember originated wanting to attain.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Standard negotiating tactic. The thing is, this bunch doesn\u2019t stop. They\u2019re pushing this envelope you\u2019re talking about every day. There\u2019s no breathing room! We don\u2019t have time to catch our breath. Every day. They are expanding the scope of Obama\u2019s own personal power every day.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s the purpose of it, too. No one can get together and complain about a certain topic because every day it\u2019s a new one.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Every day, every week. Just like when they make their controversial announcements, always on a Friday afternoon when everybody\u2019s on their way home and going away for the weekend and nobody hears about what mandate or what thing he did on a Friday that he knew he wouldn\u2019t be able to get. But since he did it on a Friday afternoon, nobody hears it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s true. I\u2019ll tell you what the challenge is now. The requirement now is to wake up average, ordinary citizens who don\u2019t pay attention to this kind of stuff this far out from elections. It\u2019s time to call people\u2019s attention to the daily erosion of simple, never-before-even-considered-challengeable liberties and freedoms. We\u2019re losing them each and every day — and it\u2019s not by accident. It\u2019s not by some bumbling guy who\u2019s in over his head. It\u2019s happening by design. And, furthermore, this guy has told us he intends to do all this. All we have to do is have the courage to believe what he says. He says he doesn\u2019t like the country and wants transform it? He\u2019s doing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Folks, to sum up here: From the top of the program here to the conclusion, the major focus today was Obama supposedly caving on the Catholic Church providing abortion services and contraception. The problem with all of this mandate stuff was never birth control. The problem with it was never really abortion. It is the loss of individual liberty and freedom. It\u2019s government control, asserted unconstitutionally by the president. It continues. Be vigilant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
