\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me just cut to the chase here on the political correctness of this. Ebola, a killer virus<\/a>, is political. We\u2019re in the process of having it politicized. The left politicizes everything. The Democrat Party politicizes everything. Everything is politicized. Now, I can imagine some of you are saying, “Come on, Rush! What in the hell are you talking about? Ebola, politicized?” <\/p>\n

Damn right it is. <\/p>\n

You know why? <\/p>\n

What does Ebola threaten right now<\/a>? Don\u2019t say, “The American people and their health,” \u2019cause that\u2019s not how it\u2019s being looked at. Ebola is threatening<\/a> amnesty. Amnesty is desire number one right now politically by the Democrat Party — and, hell, the Republican Party, too, for all we know. Amnesty. The Washington establishment\/political class wants amnesty. That equals open borders. <\/p>\n

Ebola is a giant threat to that, and so therefore Ebola has to be positioned as insignificant. “Much ado about nothing. Nothing to see here. Don\u2019t worry about it. We\u2019ve got it in control. It\u2019s all in Africa; we\u2019re dealing with it.” Ebola threatens amnesty. It is political because it feeds into this insane “fairness” argument. Fairness trumps everything. Fairness and equality trump everything. <\/line><\/p>\n

There is no Bill of Rights for American citizens, meaning that the concept of sovereignty is under attack here. That\u2019s what open borders represents. So if anything like Ebola comes along and threatens the support of — and, by the way, the Regime isn\u2019t gonna like this. These ISIS guys? I just saw this, folks. These ISIS guys feel left out. There\u2019s a major potential scourge happening to the United States and ISIS feels left out. <\/p>\n

They want in on it. So ISIS just put out a statement, a PR statement. They are planning, they say, two things. They are planning to infect their own soldiers with the disease and send them across the border into the United States to infect Americans. The second thing ISIS is planning to do, they say, is they are going to sneak into the country — it won\u2019t take much on the Southern border.<\/p>\n

And they are gonna find out where the families of soldiers fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria live and they\u2019re gonna go to their houses and kill their families. They\u2019re being very public. It just crossed the wire a half hour ago. You don\u2019t think this stuff is political? It\u2019s all political. If you want to understand, if you want to be able to answer the questions, “Why isn\u2019t the government doing X?<\/p>\n

“Why aren\u2019t they doing this? Why are they doing this?” you\u2019ve got to be able to decipher what is the political harm to the Democrat Party of Ebola, and that\u2019s how you explain the way they\u2019re dealing with it. It\u2019s no more complicated than that. Now, that may be hard to believe, it may be hard to accept, but don\u2019t doubt me, \u2019cause it\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening.<\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s James in Reston, Virginia, as we head back to the phones. Welcome, sir. I\u2019m glad you waited. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling because I have a personal experience with the same sort of thing with AIDS back when it was originally discovered in south Florida in the early eighties. My wife was a health educator for the Broward County Health Unit, and one day she was at work doing what she does and there are people walking up and down the hall in full-body garb and respirators and masks and gloves.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like, “What the heck\u2019s going on here?” She comes to find that there is a disease that\u2019s been diagnosed. Let\u2019s erase all the 30 years of what we know about AIDS and what we\u2019ve come to learn. This is a disease that has been discovered in the county. The entire population of people who are exhibiting the disease are gay men. And my wife, being a health care worker, is part of the unit that goes and puts out information about health threats in the community.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: One of her jobs would be to turn around and say, “You know, we have this thing happening. This is what we know about it. This is what we don\u2019t know. Here\u2019s what we think you can do to protect yourself,” and they get a directive from the CDC, I believe in writing, saying, “Thou shalt not say anything about it at all. You will not mention this disease. You will not talk to people about it. You will not share this information,” and my wife had to not do that job anymore, because —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why did that directive come down?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, they did not give you a “why,” and they wouldn\u2019t have. They simply would have said, “Thou shalt not” and left it at that. I don\u2019t know what threats they made or what penalties or God knows what was behind it, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, you do. You just… That\u2019s exactly why nobody was supposed to talk about, because it targeted only a specific group.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And you just roll forward through time —<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Unfair, not fairness, not fair, shouldn\u2019t know. So we\u2019re not gonna publicize that.” Almost immediately… I remember these days because the first thing I remember, it was caused by Reagan, \u2019cause he didn\u2019t talk about it, which meant Reagan didn\u2019t care, which meant Reagan was a homophobe, which meant that\u2019s why it\u2019s spreading. So they had to say, “You know what? It\u2019s not gay men.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not just gay men. This is gonna infect the whole population, and they went through all kinds of explanations about why that was.” So, yeah, there was a politically correct component to even AIDS. Yeah, you\u2019re right about that. Meaning that all of this is nothing new. I guess this is part of my frustration here, folks. I spent much of the last hour of the program yesterday explaining why I was talking about Ebola and this other infectious disease in the way I am. <\/p>\n

You know, I\u2019ve been here 25 years. Sometimes I assume everybody has been listening for 25 years, and I assume everybody knows my objective here and what my mission is and why I\u2019m doing this, and sometimes I lose sight of the fact that there are people who don\u2019t know that. They are tuning in randomly, or for the first time, and if they\u2019re not hearing the program context, they don\u2019t follow it.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t just pick one day of this program and listen to it and get anywhere close to what it\u2019s about. Sometimes I fail to realize or remember that I have to set the table again, so I decided to set the table again yesterday to explain to people why all of this is being discussed the way I\u2019m discussing it. It\u2019s because I\u2019m trying to educate people about what liberalism is and who they are and what it results in.<\/p>\n

In this case, the manifesting of all this is political correctness and how it is detrimental, how it operates, and how it\u2019s going to determine that the right thing never ends up being done and how it determines incompetent people with no qualifications who do not know what they\u2019re doing end up in positions of authority. So I spent about a half hour. I told you the editrix of the Limbaugh Letter, “I want that to be our lead commentary in the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter.”<\/p>\n

So is these scrambling \u2019cause it has to be rewritten. She can\u2019t take a verbal transcription of a radio program and just rewrite it. It has to be rewritten for the printed word. So we\u2019re in the process of doing it. That\u2019s how important I think this is. But that\u2019s my point: After 25 years, the fact that I still have to explain it? Part of it\u2019s frustration. To me, it\u2019s simple to learn, simple to understand what the Democrat Party is today, what they stand for. <\/p>\n

<\/a>To me it\u2019s crystal clear: Ebola is political because it threatens a part of the Democrat agenda. I understand how difficult that is for people who are not immersed in the day-to-day machinations of politics to believe or accept. Most people hate politics anyway, but the unfortunate thing is they don\u2019t believe Democrats do “politics.” They only think Republicans do. Democrats are compassion and fair and stuff, happy malarkey. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s an ongoing, for lack of a better frame or phrase, education process here. ‘Cause I really do believe that the solution to so much in this country is to disempower the left, get them out of leadership positions, stop electing them so they stop appointing like-minded incompetents. For example, I don\u2019t know this woman, Julia Pierson, who was the Secret Service director \u2019til yesterday when she resigned. But here\u2019s this African leaders summit that Obama\u2019s hosting and she\u2019s having people tear down the experts who have set up security perimeters and techniques. She\u2019s demanding they tear it all down, claiming, “We need to be more like Disney World<\/a>. We need to be more inviting.” <\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking, Secret Service? Somebody thinking this way? The Secret Service ought never be seen. Other than when they show up to shadow them, protect them, or what have you, but the Secret Service ought not be why people are coming to the African leaders summit. Disney World? We find out she worked there. She was a costumed character and she did a couple of other things, PR office, I\u2019m not sure which. <\/p>\n

But, I mean, that\u2019s political correctness, if anything is. But it\u2019s clearly uncalled for. It has no basis. It\u2019s absurd, and yet she thought it was totally legitimate and the right thing to do. I\u2019m telling you, that\u2019s dangerous. Couple that with everything else that\u2019s been happening, easy access to the White House. Oh, yeah, come on in, we\u2019re just trying to make it like Disney World here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
