RUSH: Here\u2019s Danielle in Chelsea, Michigan. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, hello. Mega global cooling… No! I\u2019m sorry. Global warming dittos from the great state of Michigan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thanks very much. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: As I get older, I\u2019m in my thirties, and I see the hypocrisy, the double standards of our government, particularly the Democrats, and it\u2019s frustrating. I do it right. You know, my husband has a good job. We didn\u2019t borrow too much money and we put 20% down on our house and now I\u2019m told I have to sacrifice; I have to give. Well, wait a minute. My husband works hard. I work hard. We raise our family. We take care of our family. I just want the government to leave me alone. Let me raise my family. Let me keep more of my money, and I don\u2019t need \u2019em.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I agree a hundred percent, but unfortunately the American people elected somebody that doesn\u2019t want to leave you alone.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. <\/p>\n

RUSH: They elected somebody that wants to blame people like you!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, and I\u2019ll tell you the blame. I have spoken with liberals. I have five children. You can imagine, as a conservative —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — stay-at-home mom with five kids.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait! Whoa! Time-out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are in your early thirties, and you got five crumb crunchers?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m a little past my early thirties —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, all right, okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — not quite my late thirties, and, yes, five children that my husband and I could afford, we could raise. We can love. We can take care of. But to liberals, I am a terrible person.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, the world\u2019s overpopulated, I\u2019m contributing to global warming, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is not overpopulated, and there is no global warming. You\u2019re going to go frustrated dealing with them intellectually.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I beat \u2019em intellectually, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. It\u2019s easy to. That\u2019s why they\u2019ll start attacking you personally. They\u2019ll start attacking the people you believe in. I mean, it\u2019s fun to do if you can keep your sanity about it, but, look, the hypocrisy… See, I\u2019m glad you\u2019re spotting it at your relative young age. You\u2019re seeing all these double standards. You\u2019re seeing all the hypocrisy. There\u2019s a different set of rules for Democrats and Republicans. I\u2019m going to tell you why that is, Danielle. The reason why Republicans are held to higher standards is twofold, two reasons. One, they actively suggest that they have higher standards that they seek to reach and attain. At the same time, they are despised (this is the second reason) by liberals and the media precisely because they attempt to maintain standards. Not everybody can.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all human. We\u2019re all going to stumble and fail. And when we stumble and fail, why, we become hypocrites. We become the biggest hypocrites, and they try to strip us of any credibility. The left, on the other hand, they don\u2019t talk about maintaining any standards — behavioral, personal, or otherwise. There aren\u2019t any. Liberalism, in fact, is not based on standards. So they really can\u2019t commit ethics violations, unless they happen to be Blagojevich, and then, of course, they\u2019re going to nail him because he\u2019s embarrassing The Messiah. But Blagojevich wouldn\u2019t even be in trouble if he hadn\u2019t gotten caught and he was stupid enough to put on tape what he was trying to do: sell the Senate seat. Don\u2019t think that\u2019s the first time that\u2019s ever happened in Chicago or anywhere else. <\/p>\n

But a party that maintains it has no standards — in fact, standards are judgmental, standards are discriminatory, standards are unfair. So, you can have a guy like Sandy Burglar steals documents from the National Archives who\u2019s loved and adored. You have this guy, Holder, who had pardoned terrorists, pardoned Marc Rich; he\u2019s allowed to say he\u2019s going to be better next time. He learned from it. Then you have Palin who they\u2019d rather put on a cross. You have Joe the Plumber, who they tried to destroy. So that\u2019s always going to be the case. There are two sets of rules. N othing\u2019s fair, and the so-called arbiter of the rules have chosen up sides, the media, and they\u2019ve thrown in entirely with the Democrats. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
