RUSH: Now, you know, you and I on this program, we discuss time and time again: “Is Obama doing this on purpose or does he not really know?” It\u2019s the age-old argument: “Is he a neophyte, ignorant theoretician from the faculty lounge or is he really this committed Marx who\u2019s doing all this on purpose?” Now, a man that we admire greatly here at the EIB Network is Victor Davis Hanson. He\u2019s a noted farmer in the Central Valley of California. He is, in his own way, a Renaissance man. He\u2019s a Greek historian par excellence. I love listening to Victor Davis Hanson describe ancient Greece. You know, in ancient Greece they had their own Clinton. Alcibiades was an ancient Greek Clinton down to a T. Victor Davis Hanson writes prolifically at National Review, National Review Online and a couple of other websites, and there is a piece he posted yesterday at Glenn Reynolds\u2019 website InstaPundit. It\u2019s “The Metaphysics of Contemporary Theft,” and in his piece Victor Davis Hanson, affectionately known as VDH to his friends, says:<\/p>\n

“Watching the tastes, the behavior, the rhetoric, the appointments, and the policy of this administration suggests to me that it is not really serious in radically altering the existing order, which it counts on despite itself. Its real goal is a sort of parasitism that assumes the survivability of the enfeebled host.” Let me translate: Victory Davis Hanson believes that Obama and the liberals are simple parasites, that they really don\u2019t want to radically alter the existing order. They will say so but they don\u2019t actually take the great leaps necessary to do it. They get close, but they don\u2019t actually take steps to destroy this because they feed off of it. They need an economy producing things for them to take, so that they can redistribute them — and they just, in their ignorance, assume that no matter how often they kill the golden goose, that the golden goose is gonna continue to live and be prosperous and produce enough eggs for Obama and his guys to continue to take from. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the prevailing opinion from Victor Davis Hanson. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, back to Victor Davis Hanson. He doesn\u2019t really believe that Obama is engaged in a willful and purposeful destruction of the economic engine that creates prosperity and the opportunity for it in this country. He thinks that they\u2019re basically just a bunch of parasites, that they don\u2019t really want to radically alter what\u2019s going on. In fact, they count on the golden goose thriving. They count on, no matter what they do to it — whatever tax policy happens, whatever regulations — they think it\u2019s gonna survive. They think it\u2019s gonna continue to do well enough that there will be enough that they can take from it to redistribute or to do whatever else they want to do with it, and that they\u2019re not going to destroy it; that they\u2019re parasites, and that they assume (this is their naivete or ignorance) that the host, the US economy, will survive their parasitic behavior; that they won\u2019t kill it. <\/p>\n

Now, my problem with that (and I, again, say this with due respect to you) is to believe that — to believe that Obama is not a radical and he doesn\u2019t want to radically alter things and just says so; he\u2019s just a parasite feeding off of all this — is you must assume, it would seem to me, that Obama and the left are not driven by an ideology, then. When Obama wants to change our society, when he takes major steps towards doing it, why go to the pains to deny it? Which they do. You accuse them of doing this on purpose — you go out and accuse them of making radical changes to our society, major steps toward destroying the occasion the nation as founded — oh, they\u2019ll disagree with you. Why? Why deny it? They don\u2019t want that to be known.<\/p>\n

I think to view them as a bunch of well-intentioned, ignorant parasites is to deny that they\u2019re driven by an ideology, and we know what the ideology is. The ideology is socialism. The socialist sucks the blood out of capitalism. We\u2019re not talking here about parasites. We\u2019re talking vampires, if you want to get down to brass tacks — and some might say there\u2019s not much difference in the two. I think there is. We\u2019re talking vampires. Obama, Democrats, socialists, leftists, suck the blood out of capitalism. They will eventually destroy it. This is not news. And they run out of capitalist-created wealth. Margaret Thatcher herself said it: One of the bad things about socialism is you eventually run out of other people\u2019s money. <\/p>\n

Why do you do that? Why does that happen? Why do you run out of other people\u2019s money? Because you\u2019ve sucked all of it out of the system! Socialism does not create wealth; it destroys wealth. Socialism doesn\u2019t create jobs; it destroys jobs. The public sector job — you know, somebody hired to work in government — is not a job created, because they don\u2019t produce anything. It\u2019s a job lost, in a zero-sum game sense. If that person could have found a job in the private sector and been involved in an enterprise that\u2019s out producing something or providing a service, then you\u2019ve got growth; you\u2019ve got expansion. That doesn\u2019t happen to government. They suck the system dry. They suck the blood out. So this is not new to anybody. <\/p>\n

Why do they do this, though? This is the thing. When you\u2019re trying to persuade people, “This is what the leftist does, this is what socialists do: They suck the blood out of the system,” people eventually ask you, “Why do they do that, Rush?” \u2019cause they just can\u2019t believe it. They can\u2019t get their arms around the fact there are actually people who would do it. That\u2019s why you evolve the theory, “They don\u2019t really know what they\u2019re doing. They\u2019re just a bunch of parasites. They think that the system\u2019s always gonna be there creating wealth, providing jobs. It\u2019s always gonna be there. No matter what they do, it\u2019s always gonna be there.” See, I disagree with that. I think they know they\u2019re sucking the blood out of it, and so the inevitable question: Why do they do it? <\/p>\n

And I, ladies and gentlemen, El Rushbo, have provided the answer over and over beginning each time I\u2019m asked. The answer is — if you listen to them, and if you observe them — they seek “change.” They are not passive. Their ideology is not passive. Liberalism, socialism, is a very active, animating thing. They\u2019re not just boobs, although they are. They are boobs, but they\u2019re not “just” boobs. They know they\u2019re sucking the system dry. They have a reason for sucking the system dry. This is even tougher for people to accept. It\u2019s even tougher for people to agree to or understand because they don\u2019t want to believe this. Suck the system dry, what happens then? Well, if you suck the system dry and there\u2019s no job you can get to support yourself, where do you turn? <\/p>\n

It\u2019s already happening. <\/p>\n

You turn to the government and the people there become even more powerful, as more and more people turn to them for their very existence, for their very ability to eat. We laugh about it, but it\u2019s no accident — and it\u2019s no coincidence — that all of a sudden people are calling 911 when something goes wrong with a restaurant order. In one instance, a guy in the middle of a drug deal who thought he got short-changed on his change called 911. There\u2019s a reason this happens. It\u2019s because this is being taught. So it\u2019s hard for me to believe the passivity here that these are just a bunch of well-intentioned people that end up being parasites sucking the system dry, always thinking it\u2019s going to be there. I think a lot of these people have a chip on their shoulder about that very system. <\/p>\n

Now, if Obama doesn\u2019t want to destroy capitalism, then Marx didn\u2019t, either. If Obama doesn\u2019t want to destroy capitalism, then Marx didn\u2019t either, did he? There\u2019s not a dime\u2019s worth of difference between the two of them. When you get down to brass tacks, there\u2019s not much difference in Marx and Obama. Our current recession, it\u2019s not just an accident of the business cycle — and don\u2019t forget, in the latter part of the nineties, the Clinton administration running around saying, “The business cycle is no more! We have defeated the business cycle. There aren\u2019t going to be any more recessions. There aren\u2019t going to be any more of these wildly gyrating cycles. We\u2019ve defeated that!” Okay. We\u2019ve got a recession that has outlasted all other recessions <\/p>\n

Not depressions, but all other recessions — and it\u2019s not just an accident of the business cycle. This is a “manmade disaster,” as the Obama people like to describe global warming. It\u2019s an economic, man-caused disaster — and we know who the man is who caused it, and we have to be willing like Reagan was in naming Carter to name Obama. Reagan unabashedly named Carter in 1980 when he announced his candidacy for the presidency. Huntsman yesterday refuses to even go there, but he said he\u2019s going to campaign like Reagan. Well, he\u2019s not campaigning like Reagan. Reagan named Carter with passion. He laid everything that was going wrong in 1980 in this economy at the feet of Jimmy Carter. He said he failed! He made no excuses, he didn\u2019t try to sugarcoat it, and he didn\u2019t tiptoe around it.<\/p>\n
