RUSH: First off on the Russians. It is an absolute laugh to listen to Obama opine about this. One of his first statements was to say that this does not fit well with the Olympic ideal, what the Russians did going into Georgia. Georgia is an ally of ours. We, ladies and gentlemen, not much we can do about it right now. Even the AP references this, but I find it fascinating: ‘The Russian bear is back. The United States doesn\u2019t seem to be able to do much about it.\u2019 Wait a minute. Obama said he has done something about it. Wait \u2019til you hear the sound bites coming up from Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who actually said on a phone call today — this guy is so brazenly desirous of the VP slot, Virginia governor Tim Kaine, who may be the only politician dumber than Obama — actually said that he was gratified that Medvedev listened to Obama\u2019s words and ordered the ceasefire. But there\u2019s no ceasefire. There\u2019s still pounding, the jets are still dropping bombs. There is no ceasefire at all. The Russians are just saying so. But this AP story, the Russian Bear is Back, United States Doesn\u2019t Seem to be Able to Do Much About It. What do you mean we can\u2019t do much about it? <\/p>\n

What they mean is our military is occupied elsewhere. Wait a minute. I thought with The Messiah, we wouldn\u2019t need a military anymore, he\u2019s a citizen of the world and his words alone will bring peace, everlasting peace to the world, and yet here\u2019s the Drive-By Media unwittingly sabotaging the very premise of Obama\u2019s existence. The situation there, it\u2019s very clear what\u2019s going on. Ralph Peters in the New York Post has this exactly right. This is not something that happened overnight, to get all these divisions over the Caucasus Mountains has been a long time. That has been strategically planned to time with the Olympics to try to make the ChiComs mad, but the problem is the ChiComs probably love this, because the ChiComs love the demonstration the United States can\u2019t do much about this right now. A lot of people think the ChiComs would be upset and mad at the Russians for stealing their thunder at the Olympics, but the ChiComs got what they wanted out of the Olympics with that opening ceremony. Everything after that is icing on the cake. The ChiComs got everything they wanted out of the opening ceremony. I about barfed Friday night listening to these NBC commentators glorify the state, the communist state and how it will care and protect and provide for every citizen. They said this in glowing terms. <\/p>\n

Now, I understand that they don\u2019t want the plug pulled by the ChiCom government on the telecasts. But please, I mean it was over the top, some of this stuff was. Well, I\u2019m going to have more comments on the ceremony down the road. That ceremony, yeah, it was dazzling, there\u2019s no question, but can I tell you what I saw in that ceremony? Who\u2019s putting that ceremony on? The ChiComs. I don\u2019t care what the video that NBC is showing you looks like, that is still a repressive regime. What I saw were 15,000 kids who all looked the same, who were all doing the same thing, who were all behaving the same way. I saw sameness. I didn\u2019t see any individuality at all. I saw 15,000 people at slave wages no doubt, following orders or else. Now, it was great, the pageantry was fabulous. The performance of those people in that opening ceremony was great, the synchronization was flawless. They\u2019ve only been rehearsing for this for probably five years. They probably got some dietary bonuses if they did well. But I saw sameness. I saw no individuality whatsoever. I saw exactly what the Soviet communist model, the Marxist model for society is. One person\u2019s as easily interchangeable as anybody else. We\u2019ve now learned that the cute little girl in pigtails that sang the opening hymn to the motherland — that\u2019s probably the one time Obama does clasp his heart, when the ChiComs sing hymn to the motherland. But nevertheless, we find out that that little girl didn\u2019t sing it, she lip-synced it. The actual girl that sang it was pulled out at the last minute because she has buckteeth. The ChiComs said she didn\u2019t look good enough to be on TV so they pulled her and they had that little girl in pigtails go out there and lip-sync the thing. <\/p>\n

Then we also found out that they faked some of the graphics, the footprints in the fireworks marching across that stupid-looking stadium they call the ‘Bird\u2019s Nest.\u2019 That\u2019s the ugliest looking stadium I\u2019ve ever seen. From the outside, that is the ugliest looking stadium I\u2019ve ever seen. Nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen, they faked that, they faked this; who knows what else they\u2019re faking over there, but I saw sameness. I also saw this. This is the ChiComs telling the world: You see this, 15,000 people, 15,000 people dressed just like alike, 15,000 people with drums, 15,000 people doing everything as we tell \u2019em to do when we tell \u2019em to do it, imagine if they had guns. There was a message in that opening ceremony, a bunch of different messages, and most people sitting there dazzled by it because they heard all these things about China, and of course the pictures out of China made China look just like South Bend, Indiana, for crying out loud. I\u2019m not comparing pollution, don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not insulting Indiana here. They got cute little neighborhoods and kids go to little schools and it\u2019s wonderful. But we\u2019ll have more on all that coming up. <\/p>\n

This Russia and Georgia thing, it\u2019s clear, this was long planned to time with the Olympics. It\u2019s all about NATO. It\u2019s about keeping Georgia out of NATO. Vladimir Putin is KGB and nobody ever leaves the KGB. McCain was right about this. This is KGB and there\u2019s a great piece, Victor Davis Hanson today has a fabulous analysis of this. He stole my own words before I uttered them, so I can\u2019t accuse him of stealing my words. What this is is the Russian nation once again feeling pride. They have felt snubbed ever since the Cold War ended. And some might say, and I wouldn\u2019t disagree with it, but I don\u2019t care, it\u2019s not a big factor, we weren\u2019t the most gracious winners. We plucked Ukraine away from them. We snubbed them in a number of different ways. We did send some people over there to try to teach \u2019em democracy, that snubbed \u2019em too. They\u2019re feeling pride, as Victor Davis Hanson says, as they go into Georgia and South Ossetia and start murdering innocent civilians, you\u2019re not going to see Russian citizens marching in Moscow with ‘No blood for oil signs.\u2019 You\u2019re not going to see the Russian citizens demanding humanitarian aid. The Russian citizenry is going to stand up and applaud because they got their national pride back. The Putin government is sending a message, too. ‘You can\u2019t stop us. Only by our good graces are we going to stop. You can\u2019t stop us from bombing any pipelines.\u2019 <\/p>\n

See, the big difference now between the Russians and the Soviets with the price of oil, the Russians now have money. They didn\u2019t have money when we were doing SDI. Their economy had fallen flat. They were a Third World nation with a first world military, but now they\u2019ve got oil money and they provide natural gas and oil for much of Europe, and they know, as well as you and I do, that Europe can\u2019t and won\u2019t defend itself. NATO\u2019s even got problems getting in gear. What they do not want is Georgia in NATO and they don\u2019t want Ukraine in NATO, and if we had the guts to put Ukraine in NATO that would be a good slap back. But it probably isn\u2019t going to happen, plus they are dying for Obama to be elected. When a guy comes out and says, ‘This does not comport with the Olympic ideal,\u2019 they know they\u2019re dealing with a patsy. If he wants to be JFK, he\u2019s on the road. Khrushchev absolutely played the violin with JFK, Cuban missile crisis and so forth, and I\u2019m sure Putin — nobody ever leaves the KGB — is looking at this useful idiot, Barack Obama, and salivating. So the ChiComs are sending us signals, the world signals, and so is Vladimir Putin of the KGB. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
