RUSH: Ron in Houston, thanks for calling. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, mighty one. The reason I called, this has been a frustration for about the last three months right now. How long is everybody going to forget how many times the Democrats have tried to give away everything this country\u2019s done? I\u2019m to the point now, I\u2019ll put up the money to basically put most of the Democratic Party on Ritalin because they\u2019re becoming an out-of-control reality program. In fact, they may be the basis for the original reality programs out there. Can you explain to me how they keep getting away with the junk they\u2019re putting out there and they do it over and over and over again. I watched it during Reagan, and when the huge threat of the Soviet Union was out there. The Soviet Union was kind of a rusty bucket ready to fall over, but until the day it happened, Reagan was looked at as a fool. I\u2019m not particularly a big fan of George Bush, but George Bush can get the job done. Let him be president. I\u2019m sorry. I want to just scream right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. If I understood everything you\u2019re saying, and your call is a little distorted, you\u2019re wondering how in the world people keep falling for the same Democrat trick?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s the same thing over and over and over again. I\u2019m an ex-Navy officer. I spent a lot of time out on US aircraft carriers. I spent a lot of time watching situations and I\u2019m sitting there watching what\u2019s going on and I\u2019m watching what the media is spitting back out in the States, and there\u2019s no correlation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I explained this. Look, there\u2019s so many factors in this answer. In the first place, public education system. Young skulls full of mush have grown up not learning about history. They\u2019ve grown up being told that Bill Clinton was a great president, and that Abe Lincoln is worth one paragraph. They\u2019ve, in many cases, grown up and been told that the white settlers of this country, the original settlers were racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes. They\u2019ve been inculcated with conflict resolution that tells them that we\u2019re the problem and we have to cave and give up. We also have a bunch of people here in a nation of prosperity and vast affluence who don\u2019t have to pay attention to these uncomfortable thing if they don\u2019t want to. They don\u2019t have to, quote, ‘sacrifice,\u2019 as such when the Democrats and the media in concert convince them there\u2019s no problem. It\u2019s something they\u2019d like to hear, and so they believe it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

I just had a conversation with our official call screener today, Bo Snerdley, in his office. He says people on the phones are fit to be tied, particularly at Nancy Pelosi. They\u2019re throwing the word ‘traitor\u2019 around all over the place. It leads me to try to explain in a little bit more depth an answer to a question we got from a caller near the end of the last hour. He was beside himself, this former Navy man, and his perception is the American people buy everything the Democrats say, and he doesn\u2019t understand it. <\/p>\n

After they said Reagan was the biggest problem facing the free world, Reagan dispatched the Soviet Union. His point was that there are so many instances where you can look, historically, and find that liberal Democrats are wrong in what they claim, not just in foreign policy, but their whole social safety net program has been a disaster, and why people don\u2019t see this, and it\u2019s very frustrating thing to him. He wanted to know why I thought that was the case, and I had a minute and a half to give an answer. For a minute and a half, it was a brilliant answer. A better answer than anybody else could utter in a minute and a half. That\u2019s because I\u2019m a highly trained broadcast specialist who understands the nature of brevity as the soul of wit. But let me expand on this, because it is a frustrating thing, and I feel it sometimes, too, even in the midst of my optimism. Remember, I have said that during all of this the Democrats are sowing their seeds for a massive landslide defeat. There is history for that, too. <\/p>\n

There is plenty of history that the American people don\u2019t buy what the Democrats sell. The reason so many of you think<\/emphasize> that most Americans are is because of the Drive-By Media. Now, the Drive-By Media no longer has its monopoly but it\u2019s still very powerful and it\u2019s a one-note samba. It is pro-Democrat. It is pro-liberal. It is anti-Bush. It is anti-Republican, and it is relentless<\/emphasize>, and I want to remind you of something else. Everybody knows that the three nightly newscasts on the major three networks are not as large, singularly, as they used to be in terms of audience. Combined, they still reach about 30 million people a night, whereas Cronkite used to do that all by himself. There is a new media, and there\u2019s an alternative, and it\u2019s growing. It\u2019s burgeoning, and it\u2019s creating problems for the liberal Democrats, although those problems are not often recounted in their house organs, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Drive-By television networks, the cable networks. <\/p>\n

So you\u2019re looking for validation that they are weakening, and you don\u2019t see it because what you watch on television, 90%, portrays the Democrats as omnipotent and powerful, all over the place, gaining strength, the American people love and support them, and that impression has to be considered somewhat valid, what with the election results of last November. At the same time, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as pervasive as it used to be. But let\u2019s talk about the people that watch the nightly newscasts for one second. Many of you in this audience are multitaskers and you access a whole lot of different sources of media. You listen to this program, and you go on the Internet. You watch some cable news. You\u2019re all over the place. You read various different things. You would be surprised at the number of Americans whose only source of news is the nightly newscasts. Now, they\u2019re primarily elderly, upper middle-age and beyond. You can see that by looking at the commercials — and I don\u2019t mean this to sound funny, even though it is. But you\u2019re watching a newscast and the commercials are burial plots here and Preparation H over there and heart medicine here and Lipitor over there. When basically 80% of the commercials are medicines to sustain your life for another five years, you know who the audience is, and that\u2019s habitual.<\/p>\n

They have not transformed into the new media. They are out there. These are people, too, that have landline telephones. These are people that have not moved into cell phones and the Internet, and guess who it is that pollsters call? Pollsters have a tough time getting hold of people with cell phones, and they\u2019re having a tougher and tougher time getting hold of people that use landline phones. But this crowd that we\u2019re talking about does; they still do. This generational shift has not been completed yet, and the people that produce these nightly newscasts are well aware of this, and they\u2019re always making efforts here to try to lower their demographics. But they\u2019ve got a problem, because their newscasts happen at the end of the day when a lot of people already know what they\u2019re going to see when they turn on the nightly news. But those who watch it — and there\u2019s 30 million of them every night, averaged, if you combine all three — it\u2019s their first taste of the day, and they believe it. It\u2019s hook, line, and sinker. It\u2019s the Bible to them, and that\u2019s it. So there\u2019s a large chunk of it, and then you have, sadly, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of people who are just sponges, and they access the Drive-By Media, and they just believe it. <\/p>\n

It carries with it this note of authority. You know from your own experience growing up: If you read it in the paper, it was true. It\u2019s just like law enforcement never, ever falsely charges people. Law enforcement never screws up. If they say somebody did it, you think they did it. That\u2019s just human nature. I\u2019m not even talking politics here. There\u2019s certain institutions in this country that have always enjoyed a tremendous amount of credibility and respect and very few people have ever questioned it, and the Drive-By Media is one of those. That\u2019s really the root of the question. How in the world can people continue to believe this stuff, not just the media, but how can they believe the Democrats when time and time again everything the Democrats say turns out to be not true? Here\u2019s a Navy man calling. ‘How can it be that people are not outraged<\/emphasize> over Pelosi? How can it be that they\u2019re not outraged over the fact that the Democrats are trying to secure the defeat and un-fund, de-fund the United States Military?\u2019 Why are there not massive protests in the street of anger and outrage over this? Well, there are answers to this, and they\u2019re traditional. Most of the people that would do those kind of protests don\u2019t ever protest. <\/p>\n

The protesters are the malcontent leftists who make it their job. They go out and they secure rent-a-mobs and they try to create chaos and tumult and this is what the media is doing, and the Democrats, they don\u2019t want you happy. They don\u2019t want you content, not with a Republican in the White House, and certainly not with a Republican they think is illegitimate, and certainly not when the Republicans run the House and Senate or ran the House and Senate. They don\u2019t want you happy. And then you\u2019ve gotta factor in human nature. Sad to say, it\u2019s much easier to be a pessimist than it is to be an optimist. It\u2019s much easier to be doom and gloom. It\u2019s much easier to think the worst is going to happen than to believe the best will happen, and most people\u2019s experiences in their lives are that excrement happens, and good things are rare and they\u2019re unique, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re rare and unique, because they don\u2019t happen that much. So you factor all of these things together. You know, why is it is that Nancy Pelosi is not the equivalent of Jane Fonda, for crying out loud? She\u2019s trying to undermine her own country for her own self-interests and the interests of her party. <\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s frustrating to watch this stuff and think that most of your fellow citizens are just a bunch of blithering idiot sponges soaking it all up. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as bad as you think, but it is a problem. There are a lot of people who are not thinkers. There are a lot of people who are not curious. There are a lot of people who want to be mired in misery or doom and gloom. It\u2019s a natural mind-set, and it\u2019s fed to them each and every day. But, as I say, if you go back and look at the number of things, historically, the Democrats don\u2019t win every election, and everything that you think is going to happen doesn\u2019t in regards to their prominence and victory. I\u2019m telling you, I know some of you just think I\u2019m whistling Dixie here, but far more people in this country than you might believe or you might be aware of, are watching what\u2019s happening and are just as outraged as you are, and when it comes time for them to express themselves, they will do so, and the Democrats are cruising for a major humiliation again. I don\u2019t know how soon. It may not be 2008, it may be 2010 or 2012. I\u2019m talking about electorally, but it is going to happen. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re reconstructing the exact circumstances they created post-Vietnam going into Watergate and that they think led them to the Promised Land. Of course they lost in a 49-state landslide with George McGovern as their nominee. Guess who Democrats are talking to about advising them for their future? They\u2019re out there having conferences with George McGovern. They have a perverted sense of their own success. When it\u2019s defined and when it happens, or how it\u2019s defined and when it has happened, this is something that\u2019s just going to take time to play out. The tough thing for those of you who are affected by this, is you never, ever see this even when they do lose. Even when they\u2019re shellacked, you don\u2019t see humiliation or embarrassment in the Drive-By Media. The minute they lose, they ratchet it up again. ‘Okay, what are the Democrats going to have to do to win?\u2019 There is never credit for Reagan, never credit for Bush, never credit for victorious Republicans. They always slough it off to, ‘Well, again, the right-wing Christian hayseeds, you know? They came through. Democrats failed to,\u2019 blah, blah, some other thing. <\/p>\n

Victory is never legitimate. It\u2019s because of some mistake Democrats made, and they start out trying to correct the mistakes and the media helps them out with this. It\u2019s a one-note samba for the first time in the Drive-By Media. But it\u2019s not as one sided and had as bad in terms of the perception of the majority of the American people as you believe, as you might think. Listen to the number of people who call here asking this question. You are not just lone voices appearing on this program. There are countless<\/emphasize> others, thousands, hundreds of thousands who are sitting out there and throwing things on the radio going, ‘Yeah! Yeah! Say it again! Say it louder!\u2019 They\u2019re just as irritated as you are. They don\u2019t have an outlet, and they\u2019re not interviewed by the Drive-By Media and so forth. News is a product like any other product that\u2019s marketed and packaged and put on the grocery shelves or any other store shelf, for sale. I don\u2019t care how lofty they think their position is because it\u2019s constitutionally protected. I don\u2019t care about any of that. These people put together an agenda. <\/p>\n

There are people (they\u2019re working right now) putting together these newscasts this afternoon and tonight, and don\u2019t believe that they\u2019re not putting these things together with their own agendas and their own desires and what they think will look good, what they think will get ratings in some cases. But for the first the most part, it\u2019s not about objectivity or reporting real news or anything of the sort. Their worldview is what it is, and things that don\u2019t fit in their worldview they don\u2019t even see. So it\u2019s buck-up time. (sigh) I hate to being an I told you so, but I warned everybody back in October, this was the kind of thing you\u2019re going to have to put up with if the Republicans lose the election. It\u2019s bad enough when they win, the Democrats are relentless — and the Drive-Bys. But now they won, and, of course, they\u2019re puffing their chests out and they\u2019re beating their chests like King Kong, Tarzan, Mighty Joe Young, whatever you want, and they\u2019re just feeling their oats right now, and it\u2019s that pompous arrogance and condescension that\u2019s also offensive in the way they go about things. But you gotta have faith, folks. The Democrats have not totally triumphed, and they never will totally triumph. <\/p>\n

There are too many of you who care too much, who will stop it. One other factor — and I\u2019ve mentioned this before, too. Particularly when it comes to the war on terror, war in Iraq, the Drive-Bys have done one hell of a job of convincing enough Americans that there\u2019s no threat. In fact, not only is there no threat, there wouldn\u2019t be a threat at all if we weren\u2019t attacking Muslims, if Bush weren\u2019t in the White House. 9\/11? Why, it was just a mere episode, and most people don\u2019t want to remember it. Most people don\u2019t want to be reminded of it. They don\u2019t want to think that they\u2019re going to be, their whole lives, constantly on a vigil protecting themselves and waiting for the next attack. That\u2019s not what being an American is. Being an American is to be insulated from the stuff that happens in the Middle East, insulated from the stuff that happens in the Third World, insulated from the stuff that happens in places like Afghanistan and what\u2019s going on in the Philippines now, and in some of Indonesia. That\u2019s not what being an American is.<\/p>\n

Being an American is about having as carefree a life as possible with the normal trials and tribulations, but it does not include getting up every day and worrying to death over whether another couple jets are going to go into another couple buildings and another 3,000 people be incinerated. If anybody comes along and convince the American people they don\u2019t have to worry about that, then they\u2019ll gladly take the bait — and, voila! It is happening, and because of our affluence and prosperity, people are able to go live their lives however they choose and pay scant or no attention to this whatsoever, and then, some of these people, after deciding that they don\u2019t want to pay any attention to this and that they don\u2019t want to live their lives under constant fear, constant threat that this could happen again, they don\u2019t want to be vigilant about this, all it takes to add to that is everyday a pummeling of the president and the whole thing about the war on terror and how we\u2019re creating circumstances.<\/p>\n

Now the Iranians are doing what they\u2019re doing because of us. They were peace-loving people before we came along! The Iraqis had been better off with Saddam Hussein. So you couple all of that natural mind-set of what it is to be an American or what it has been to be an American, with a desire for that to continue, and then you portray the ‘threat\u2019 to being an American as living in the embodiment of George W. Bush. Well, you can see how some people would buy into that, because everybody wants to blame somebody other than themselves. You might say, ‘Well, why don\u2019t they blame the Democrats?\u2019 Because nowhere in the media are the Democrats being blamed, other than here. We\u2019re not insignificant. We\u2019re not small by any stretch. I\u2019ll tell you, Fox News is what it is, but it\u2019s a speck compared to the three networks, all the rest of the Drive-Bys and the magazines and the newspapers and so forth and so on. There are reasons for this. There are explanations for it. Solutions? Well, in my case I just rely on the ultimate judgment and decency of a majority of the American people, the vast amount of times, to prevail, and I still believe that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
