RUSH: Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jack, great to have you here, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Howdy. Mega dittos from the home of the 82nd Airborne, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. A place I have toured, by the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right on, right on. Well, I am, as my boss says, a conservative in a liberal world, and I gotta say, it kind of ticks me off. I am in the entertainment industry, have been for about 16 years, and the last election year my company got a portion of the, was it $630 million that Obama spent on media and everything else. And now, all of a sudden I\u2019ve seen my taxes skyrocket, my paychecks are going down the drain trying to pay for everything that I can just to live. I mean what can we do, what is there that can be done other than getting this guy out of office?<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s it. Getting this guy and his party out of office.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, this is coming from somebody that, I saw his wife refuse to come on stage in front of probably 200 people because the American flags that were on stage were not presidential enough. The flags were from the Color Guard at the 82nd Airborne, and this is who we have making decisions for us?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Frankly, let me tell you something out there, Jack. If all they were concerned about was the size of the flag, I can live with that. But these people, I\u2019m telling you, there\u2019s one or two choices going on here. We have a willing, purposeful sabotage of the United States of America, or the biggest bunch of bumbling, naive idiots we\u2019ve ever seen. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the latter. Nobody is this dumb, nobody is this bumbling, and nobody is this naive. If they really wanted to fix this, they could see the destruction their policies have done and do a 180 for the sole purpose of getting reelected. They\u2019re more intent on destroying what has led to you being able to earn money to even complain about the tax rate. They want to be able to redistribute as much of what everybody earns as possible to create as many serfs and dependents on them as they can and destroy the US private sector.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: York, Pennsylvania, Rick, great to have you on the program. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Flawlessly is correct, Rush. I\u2019m sorry you\u2019re having a bad day, but welcome to the club because there\u2019s so many listeners out here having a bad day, some of them unfortunately are having a bad life, thanks to this incompetent president and the bunch of High Schoolers that he\u2019s got working for him. It\u2019s an honor to speak to you. I\u2019ve been listening to you since 1988, and I gotta tell you, I think as I get older, I get dumber. I really do. You said earlier today that this guy\u2019s trying to deliberately ruin this country, and I agree with you, but I just don\u2019t understand what the alternative is. Why is he trying to do this? My question to you is what is his ultimate goal here? It can only be two things. He wants complete control of every aspect of our life, or some kind of monetary gain. And I just don\u2019t understand. I need some wisdom from you, Rush. What is the ultimate goal of these liberal Democrats? What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m going to focus on Obama and his team.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have to look at who Obama was educated by, people who hated the country. He was educated by a bunch of Marxists and communists, those were his mentors, including his father. When he went off to school, wherever it was, it was people that hated the country. When he chose a pastor, it was a pastor that hated the country. I think Obama looks at this country as immoral and unjust. He thinks that the poor and lower middle class have had the wealth that is rightfully theirs stolen by other people. It is his intention to return the nation\u2019s wealth, quote, unquote, to its rightful owners. I think Obama thinks the United States is unfair. He thinks capitalism is criminal because not everybody ends up with the same amount of things, and I think he\u2019s had a great animosity for the achievers of this country, a great animosity for the people who have made it work. I think he abhors capitalism, and he\u2019s damn certain he\u2019s going to change it. Now, whether there\u2019s financial remuneration in this for him, who knows. Most presidents end up doing pretty well after the fact.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But I think his motivation is totally ideological.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think he\u2019s been educated and raised to believe that this country is a joke, that it has been a horrible thing perpetrated on the world, that the US military is the focus of evil in the modern world. He believes all the cliches that we use to make fun of liberals, and I think he\u2019s the real deal. Look, there\u2019s only one of two things going on here. Either he is a bumbling, inept, uneducated little idiot, or this is all on purpose. And if it\u2019s on purpose, the ‘why\u2019 really doesn\u2019t matter, it just has to be stopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
