RUSH: Michael Ledeen has posted something today that dovetails with this. This has surfaced just today. ‘Obama and the Constitution: He Has His Doubts.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Michael Ledeen: ‘I missed this first time around. Brian Lancaster at Jumping in Pools reported on Obama\u2019s college thesis, written when he was at Columbia. The paper was called ‘Aristocracy Reborn,\u2019 and in the first ten pages (which were all that reporter Joe Klein — who wrote about it for Time — was permitted to see), the young Obama wrote: ‘[T]he Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned.<\/p>\n

”While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.” I don\u2019t care that it\u2019s just now surfacing, but they kept it suppressed until now, but here it is showing up. So ‘the so-called Founders…\u2019 and how many times have you people sent me e-mails, ‘Rush, be very careful when you start saying the president of the United States looks at the Constitution as an obstacle\u2019? He doesn\u2019t like the Constitution! I\u2019ve said it over and over again, and now here are his own words. ‘[T]he Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders…\u2019 <\/p>\n

This is his thesis, his college thesis at Columbia: ‘The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document…\u2019 Supposedly? Political freedom supposedly a cornerstone… ‘the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned.\u2019 Now, Ledeen says, ‘That\u2019s quite an indictment, even for an Ivy League undergraduate. I wonder if the prof — and I\u2019d like to know who the prof was — made an appropriate marginal comment, something about historical context, about the Constitution\u2019s revolutionary status in the history of freedom, and about the separation of powers in order to make the creation of any ‘shackles\u2019 as difficult as possible.\u2019 The Constitution is the most liberty-promoting and freedom-acknowledging document in the history of the world, and this little boy in college is writing about it with utter disdain, and he still shares those feelings. <\/p>\n

Ledeen writes: ‘Maybe instead of fuming about words that Rush Limbaugh never uttered, the paladins of the free press might ask the president about words that he did write. Maybe he\u2019d like to parse ‘the so-called Founders,\u2019 for example. I\u2019d like to know what he thinks of those words today. And what about the rest of the thesis?\u2019 This is Michael Ledeen. What\u2019s the name of Ledeen\u2019s book? Find it. Go on Amazon and find it real quick. I want to plug it because it\u2019s a great book. It\u2019s about what\u2019s going on in Iran and US foreign policy. Now, we have audio of Barack Obama saying much the same thing only about the Supreme Court, not the Constitution. This is from 2001, eight years ago, long after his college thesis, on an FM radio station in Chicago. He was asked this question: ‘We\u2019re joined by Barack Obama, Illinois state senator from the 13th District, senior lecturer in the law school at the University of Chicago.\u2019 This is what Obama said.<\/p>\n

OBAMA 2001: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples so that, uh, I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and — and order and as long as I could pay for it I\u2019d be okay. But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth. So his college thesis: In the Constitution, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. So here is who we have as our president of the United States: an anti-constitutionalist, main who finds it an obstacle and is finding ways around it on purpose, unconstitutionally. Much of what he\u2019s doing is unconstitutional, and I\u2019m waiting for the lawsuits to be filed by some of these people at some point. Anyway, how is that hope and change working out for ya, folks?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama is seriously dangerous. To say that distribution of wealth is economic freedom is intellectually insane. They are mutually exclusive. Economic freedom means you don\u2019t have somebody take your money and give it to somebody else. Distribution of wealth? We\u2019ve already done it. How many trillions have we transferred from workers to nonworkers in the war on poverty, in the Great Society, and all of LBJ\u2019s programs? We are redistributing wealth like crazy. How many Americans don\u2019t pay income taxes? It\u2019s approaching 47%. Where has this guy been? We\u2019re already redistributing wealth whether the Constitution addresses it or not. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s read the Federalist Papers, because the Founders talked about this all over the place. <\/p>\n

Here is Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6th, 1816: ‘To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father\u2019s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association — the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.\u2019 So, Mr. President, our Founders were brilliant. They didn\u2019t put redistribution of wealth in there \u2019cause they didn\u2019t believe in it! That\u2019s why they are ‘so-called Founders\u2019 to him. <\/p>\n

Here is Thomas Jefferson\u2019s first inaugural address, March 4th, 1801: ‘A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.\u2019 Thomas Jefferson, ‘so-called Founder.\u2019 Thomas Jefferson: ‘Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.\u2019 So-called Founder. John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of Governments of the United States of America, 1787: ‘The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.\u2019 We\u2019re there, folks. <\/p>\n

‘If ‘Thou shalt not covet\u2019 and ‘Thou shalt not steal\u2019 were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.\u2019 (interruption) I have to translate this? What I just read about John Adams is not crystal clear? All right. ‘The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.\u2019 The moment what is yours can be taken by someone else, when your stuff is not your stuff anymore, when your stuff becomes somebody else\u2019s stuff, anarchy and tyranny commence. When your property is no longer your property, tyranny and anarchy commence. In other words, it\u2019s over. <\/p>\n

‘If ‘Thou shalt not covet\u2019 and ‘Thou shalt not steal\u2019 –‘ those are two of the Ten Commandments, and do I need to translate that? Thou shalt not covet, that means you shall not also want Monica Lewinsky because she is Bill Clinton\u2019s. Thou shalt not steal, meaning Barack Obama shall not be able to get away with what he is doing, and that is stealing people\u2019s worth, their work, and their industry, or their money. If those two commandments were not commandments of Heaven — i.e, God-d — they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, meaning they must be part of any society\u2019s culture and morality before that society can be civilized or made free. Founder, so-called founder John Adams. Barack Obama said these guys didn\u2019t talk about wealth distribution. They most certainly did. He just doesn\u2019t know, wasn\u2019t taught, or knows about it and is lying about it. How is that hope and change working for you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, Michael Ledeen\u2019s book is Accomplice to Evil: Iran and the War Against the West<\/a>. It is a superb read on what is actually going on and what we actually face in the Middle East, particularly with Iran. We\u2019ll put it up at RushLimbaugh.com so you can link to it, too.

RUSH: So Joe Klein at TIME Magazine has known for a long time about Obama\u2019s college thesis when he was at Columbia. Why didn\u2019t this come out a year ago at this time? Why didn\u2019t this come out before the election in November? If you\u2019re just joining us, here is what Barack Obama wrote in his college thesis at Columbia University: ‘&hellip; the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Economic freedom and distribution of wealth are mutually exclusive. You cannot have economic freedom and the redistribution of your wealth! You can\u2019t have economic freedom if somebody like Obama can come grab your stuff and give it to somebody else. When that happens then you have the beginnings of anarchy and tyranny. The Founding Fathers — and I\u2019m not going to go through the quotes again — the Founding Fathers discussed the whole concept of distribution of wealth. They wrote letters to each other about it. The ‘so-called Founders,\u2019 I\u2019m sorry, the ‘so-called Founders.\u2019 They knew all about it, they knew that it was incompatible with the Constitution of the United States that they wrote. Now, this is relevant in another way, ladies and gentlemen. In the Virginia governor\u2019s race, Republican candidate Robert McDonnell wrote a graduate thesis 20 years ago that could be politically damaging to his campaign. This has been in the Washington Post. <\/p>\n

That decades-old thesis has been covered by the Washington Post on August 30th and again on September 1st. It has been reported on in some depth across the spectrum of media outlets, from NPR, to US News, to the Christian Science Monitor to Fox and on and on. Now, maybe a decades-old claim that the US Constitution didn\u2019t give early Americans liberty but fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy doesn\u2019t deserve some questions like, ‘What do you mean by that, and when and how did your thoughts change, if they have?\u2019 So the Washington Post is trying to drum McDonnell out of governor\u2019s race in Virginia by talking about his college thesis, but where the hell is any exposure to Obama\u2019s? And the appropriate question, ‘Do you still believe it Barack? The ‘so-called Founders\u2019? We know he believes it because he said it again about the Supreme Court in 2001. <\/p>\n

RUSH: In the first hour of this program, I cited a statement that Michael Ledeen found on the blog Jumping in Pools reporting on Obama\u2019s college thesis written when he was at Columbia. The paper was called ‘Aristocracy Reborn,\u2019 and in the first ten pages Obama wrote the following: ‘[T]he Constitution allows for many things but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believe the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.\u2019 Now, I got a note from a researcher who has been scouring the Internet, and the note says this: <\/p>\n

‘Rush Limbaugh: Mini-warning on these quotes.\u2019 Because the paper that Obama wrote, ‘Aristocracy Reborn,\u2019 the first ten pages were all that reporter Joe Klein was permitted to see; and it says here that Klein did write about it for TIME Magazine. A researcher has been scouring the Internet and can\u2019t find any sources for the quote. ‘The blog that Ledeen cites doesn\u2019t have supporting info,\u2019 supposedly. The source post that was from August, says it\u2019s going to be in an upcoming report from Joe Klein, but the researcher can\u2019t find anything that has come out since, and nothing in Klein\u2019s blog. There have been no matches found on the Internet for any of the info or quotes other than the source posting. So I now say that the blog from which this came has no sourcing data other than Joe Klein upcoming report and Joe Klein hasn\u2019t written his upcoming report. <\/p>\n

So we have to hold out the possibility that this is not accurate. However, I have had this happen to me recently. I have had quotes attributed to me that were made up, and when it was pointed out to the media that the quotes were made up, they said, ‘It doesn\u2019t matter! We know Limbaugh thinks it anyway.\u2019 Sort of like Dan Rather said, ‘I don\u2019t care if these documents are forged. I know that Bush did what he did at the National Guard. I don\u2019t care if the documents are forged.\u2019 I don\u2019t care if the Limbaugh quotes are made up. So, I can say, ‘I don\u2019t care if these quotes are made up. I know Obama thinks it. You know why I know Obama thinks it? Because I\u2019ve heard him say it.\u2019 Not about the Constitution, but about the Supreme Court. Again, 2001, FM radio station interview in Chicago when he was a state senator in Illinois. <\/line><\/line>OBAMA 2001: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples so that, uh, I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and — and order and as long as I could pay for it I\u2019d be okay. But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, he\u2019s talking about the Warren Court ‘never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth.\u2019 So we\u2019ve got a supposed piece from his college thesis at Columbia where he complains that the Constitution didn\u2019t talk about the distribution of wealth. So we know that it\u2019s on his mind. So even if he didn\u2019t say it, I know he thinks it. That\u2019s how it works now in the media. And I do know he thinks it because I just heard what I heard, and so did you. Let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m also told that the blog containing the passage on Obama\u2019s thesis is a satire blog. So it\u2019s one of these sites like ScrappleFace or The Onion or some such thing. So I shout from the mountaintops: ‘It was satire!\u2019 But we know he thinks it. Good comedy, to be comedy, must contain an element of truth, and we know how he feels about distribution of wealth. He\u2019s mad at the courts for not going far enough on it. So we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway. That\u2019s how it works in the media today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
