I\u2019ve always been under the impression that they thought Reagan was stupid.  Maybe on a good day they\u2019d call him an amiable dunce.  But I\u2019ve always been under the impression they had no respect for him.  People that voted for Reagan were stupid. Reagan was dangerous. Reagan was gonna blow up the world. If it weren\u2019t for Gorbachev, who knows if there would even be a planet Earth today. <\/p>\n<p>And yet it seems like whenever the Democrat Party needs to validate something that it plans to do, they always cite Ronald Reagan.  They cite Ronald Reagan sometimes when they\u2019re gonna do something on economics.  They cite Ronald Reagan &#8212; I don\u2019t have all the times in front of me.  I can\u2019t list them.  But you know as well as I do that they frequently go back and cite Ronald Reagan. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_98994\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReaganObama2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, it may not be that they\u2019re doing so out of respect for Reagan.  But it certainly is true to say that they are citing Reagan to validate what they\u2019re doing, and particularly when it comes to Obama\u2019s upcoming amnesty that looks like it\u2019s gonna be announced on Friday from Las Vegas. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Greetings, my friends.  Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.  Happy to have you here.  Telephone number, if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882.  And we check the e-mail, so if you want to send an e-mail, it\u2019s <a xhtml:title=\"mailto:ElRushbo@eibnet.com\" href=\"mailto:elrushbo@eibnet.com\">ElRushbo@eibnet.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just uncanny how often the Democrat Party, when they get in jam and when they know they\u2019re doing something that is untoward, when they know they\u2019re doing something that\u2019s not aboveboard, like this clearly is not aboveboard, they go back and they cite Reagan.  &#8220;Well, Reagan did it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just to persuade conservatives.  That\u2019s not why they\u2019re doing it.  They know that Reagan actually has credibility with people.  That\u2019s the dirty little secret.  They know that Ronald Reagan was beloved and adored, and they know that, despite their best efforts, the American people have profound respect for Ronald Reagan. <\/p>\n<p>Notice they don\u2019t cite Bill Clinton.  They don\u2019t go back and they don\u2019t cite FDR.  They don\u2019t go back and cite Truman very often.  They always cite, they always go back to Ronaldus Magnus, and they are doing that to justify what Obama\u2019s going to do here with his executive order that will grant amnesty to five million illegal aliens.  And they\u2019re out there claiming Reagan did this? <\/p>\n<p>Reagan never did this. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_98995\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReaganShort.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Of course the AP and the Drive-By Media are falling right in line, writing stories that the White House is dictating, claiming, &#8220;Well, this is no big deal. Reagan did it. Bush did it.  What are you crying about?&#8221;  Well, if Reagan did it, how come we\u2019re only hearing about it on the eve of Obama doing it?  If Reagan did this, then why did Obama once say he didn\u2019t have the power to do this?  Remember that sound bite to some Spanish language TV network where he said he was not an emperor, or not a dictator? (imitating Obama) &#8220;We are a nation of laws.  We have our law, and I unfortunately just can\u2019t do it with the stroke of my pen.&#8221;  Remember that?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Well, why didn\u2019t he say, &#8220;Wait a minute, yes, I can. I can be a dictator \u2019cause Ronald Reagan was, everybody knows.&#8221;  Why didn\u2019t he cite Reagan back then?  Why didn\u2019t he cite Reagan last week, last year?  Why let this controversy gin up? If Reagan did it why not say it at the outset and then shut up everybody. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites.  You\u2019ll see what I\u2019m talking about here.  Last night and this morning we have a little montage of how the left all of a sudden is once again in love with Ronaldus Magnus.<\/p>\n<p>BECKEL:  Ronald Reagan did exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>BEGALA:  Presidents Reagan and Bush issued executive orders on immigration.<\/p>\n<p>REID:  Every president, 39 different times, Reagan, Bush.<\/p>\n<p>KOSINSKI:  Reagan allowed legalization for three million immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019REILLY:  President Reagan also took executive action allowing some illegals to stay in this country.<\/p>\n<p>CUELLAR:  A very eerie way when President Reagan was the president, he then took the executive order.<\/p>\n<p>CATANESE:  Pointing out to actions by two former Republican presidents, presidents Reagan and President George H. W. Bush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  So you want to know who was in there?  You want to hear the names?  I think you should.  The first up was Bob Beckel, and then The Forehead, Paul Begala, and then Dingy Harry, and then Michelle Kosinski, whoever that is, and then O\u2019Reilly.  O\u2019Reilly said President Reagan also took executive action allowing some illegals to stay.  He did not.  Reagan never took executive action.  This is a bald-faced flat-out lie.  Not that it\u2019s gonna matter to anybody.  But you know us here; we\u2019re concerned with the truth.  Henry Cuellar, David Catanese.  Those are the people in the sound bite that you just heard. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>So if you\u2019re thinking, &#8220;Well, Rush, you\u2019re being so bold about this. What do you mean, Reagan didn\u2019t do it?&#8221;  Well, there are a lot of people that are still alive who were in the Reagan administration, one of them was a man by the name of Jeff Lord, and Jeffrey writes for the American Spectator.  He writes for Conservative Review, and he also occasionally puts together some pieces for our buddies at NewsBusters, <\/line><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_98996\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaImmigrationVoteHERE.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Brent Bozell.  And he has a piece posted at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativereview.com\/commentary\/2014\/11\/ronald-reagan-and-immigration-ap-distortion\">Conservative Review <\/a>entitled, &#8220;Ronald Reagan and Immigration:  The AP Distortion.&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey worked in the Reagan administration.  Now, his piece prints out to four pages, but I don\u2019t need that.  What is the difference between Reagan and Obama?  Reagan &#8212; in fact, folks, I\u2019m almost speechless here as I prepare to explain to you just how big the left is distorting this.  Ronald Reagan signed a piece of legislation.  It was the Simpson-Mazzoli Act.  It was 1986.  Congress debated and passed a law to grant amnesty to three million illegal immigrants, and Reagan signed it.  They are saying that\u2019s exactly what Obama\u2019s gonna do.  They are claiming that Reagan signing legislation, thereby making it legal, is the same thing as an Obama executive order.  It breathtaking what they\u2019re trying to say here. <\/p>\n<p>Reagan had a statute behind him.  The statute was called Simpson-Mazzoli.  The very law that Reagan had signed was signed after it was passed by Congress.  What Obama is about to do is write a law, or rewrite a statue all by himself.  You think that Gruber was exaggerating?  They do think you\u2019re stupid.  They really do believe that you are stupid.  They really believe that they can make you think that Reagan signing a piece of legislation is identical to Obama writing and signing an executive order.  &#8220;Well, Reagan did it.  Well, technically Reagan granted amnesty, why are you complaining?  Reagan granted amnesty, and George H. W. Bush, he granted amnesty, so Obama\u2019s not doing anything different.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s totally different because there is no legislation.  The president cannot write law.  The president can\u2019t make it up.  Whether Congress is a bulwark or not.  The Constitution does not say, &#8220;In case the Congress refuses to cooperate with the president, the president may, in that case, create his own law.&#8221;  It doesn\u2019t say that.  And Obama knows it doesn\u2019t say that because he\u2019d been out there on TV in previous years telling angry Hispanics that he\u2019s not a dictator &#8212; ahem &#8212; that he\u2019s not an emperor &#8212; ahem &#8212; and he can\u2019t do it.  And that\u2019s been his excuse all along.  He doesn\u2019t have the power to do it. <\/p>\n<p>Now all of a sudden he does.  And along comes the dictate from the White House to inform the media, &#8220;Hey, it\u2019s no different than what Reagan did.&#8221;  So there are two things here.  The blatant lie in equating an executive order with signing legislation, and then having to cite Reagan to validate something a Marxist &#8212; ahem &#8212; a Democrat president is doing.  It\u2019s just fascinating to watch all this.  When he suspends deportations and when he imposes his own conditions on those suspensions, he\u2019s rewriting the law. <\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what Obama is doing.  And that violates his oath to enforce and uphold the law as it\u2019s written.  The American people, the Congress, and the courts need to know that we have a president that will enforce the law. And when he says, &#8220;I will not enforce the law because I don\u2019t like it or because I\u2019m impatient,&#8221; that doesn\u2019t wash under the Constitution. <\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s some other things. Judge Napolitano is cited in this story by Jeff Lord in this fashion: &#8220;The judge goes on to say quite pointedly and specifically what is the Reagan-Obama difference.  Every president since Eisenhower has suspended some deportations.  President Reagan did it to 100,000 families.  He did it on the basis of the 1986 statute enacted by the Congress.  President H. W. Bush did it for 1.5 million people. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only about 350,000 took advantage of it, and it was based on his interpretation of the statute.  President Obama does not reinterpret a statute here.  He takes a statute and says, &#8216;I\u2019m gonna disregard it.  I don\u2019t like it.  It doesn\u2019t do what I want it to do. So I\u2019m gonna give you a better one.  I\u2019m gonna set down a set of standards that I\u2019d have written had I been the lawmakers.\u2019  But he\u2019s not the lawmaker.  He\u2019s the law enforcer.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>So Reagan and previous presidents when they suspended some deportations, did so under the guidelines of a statute that was in existence.  They were not creating law. They were not adding to it. They were not subtracting from it.  They were using it.  Obama is doing nothing of the sort.  It\u2019s just &#8212; I don\u2019t know &#8212; fascinating here to watch the effort (and it\u2019s pedal to the metal) underway here to try to equate Obama with Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.  A little side issue or aspect of this is it really offends me greatly to see them tarnish Reagan this way, because that\u2019s what this is.  Barack Obama is no Ronald Reagan in his dreams, and the idea that he is Ronald Reagan and is doing nothing different than Reagan did is as offensive as it can be to me. Because it\u2019s distorting Reagan. It is impugning Reagan.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_98989\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaDictatorBurnConstitutionImmigration.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And, of course, Obama doesn\u2019t have the respect and admiration from enough people to be able to get by with this on his own.  If Obama were respected &#8212; if he had a decent amount of respect, if it was thought that he had integrity, if Obama was indeed the charismatic\/messianic figure people thought they had elected &#8212; they wouldn\u2019t care why he was doing this.  They would trust him. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>They would accept what he\u2019s saying, \u2019cause they believed him, because he has integrity and honesty, the president doing the best in the world for the country, people would think that, but he doesn\u2019t own that because people do not think that of him.  They don\u2019t think he\u2019s out for the best for the country. They don\u2019t think he\u2019s got honesty. They don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>His approval number\u2019s down to 37% now, by the way. Have you seen that?  Of course you haven\u2019t.  Why am I asking?  Of course you haven\u2019t!  It\u2019s just out today, that Obama\u2019s approval is down to 37%.  So he cannot do this on his own.  He doesn\u2019t have the weight; he doesn\u2019t have the gravitas. He does not have the character to pull this off on his own. <\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t have the ability to say, &#8220;I\u2019m gonna do this. It\u2019s legal. I\u2019m President Obama. We\u2019re gonna do this because it\u2019s good for the country,&#8221; and have everybody support it because they believe him. Because they don\u2019t support him, and they don\u2019t believe him.  So he has to cite, for his own gravitas and credibility, Ronald Reagan &#8212; and, in the process, distort, impugn and malign Reagan in order to stand on the same stage with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve always been of the impression, ladies and gentlemen, that the Democrat Party and the Drive-By Media and the American left really didn\u2019t like Ronald Reagan very much.
