We\u2019re gonna start with Dave in Fort Oglethorpe.  Great to have you on the program, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you.  It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to speak to you, Rush.  Greetings and mega dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you very much, sir.  Appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  One of the things I\u2019ve been observing is the rush to bring the world consciousness into saving these girls when it seems like we got the same thing before the attack in Iraq when the women in the United States were &#8212; the liberal women were complaining about the horrible things that were happening to women in Iraq, and so therefore it was a wonderful thing that we should do, and we should drop what we are doing and run and help these people.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait a minute.  What did I miss?  When did women in this country ever say that they cared about what was happening to women in Iraq?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I can\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Did they praise George Bush for going in there to &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_91076\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GeorgeBushSalute.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  No.  Nancy Pelosi specifically endorsed going in there, and then after a while when she got pressure from her cohorts, she backed up and said, you know, before I voted for, it I voted against it or, you know, that kind of thing.  And I think that it\u2019s a real tragedy to be scared, frightened to actually try and find a consistent support for it, doing something that\u2019s morally great.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t remember this.  I know Saddam had rape rooms.  I don\u2019t remember women ever demanding that we go anywhere in the Middle East to fix what\u2019s going on with women there.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Let\u2019s talk about George H. W. Bush for a second.  You remember Mogadishu?  This is key.  Well, it may not be key, but it\u2019s interesting to remember this.  We kept hearing &#8212; this is 1990, \u201991, somewhere around there &#8212; kept hearing about atrocities in Somalia, starving children and this kind of thing.  Then one day the front page of the New York Times &#8212; now, this is before Fox News.  The only cable news network out there is CNN, 1990, \u201991.  That\u2019s it.  There was basically this program and a couple other radio talk shows on the conservative side, but CNN was the only national cable network.<\/p>\n<p>There might have been something over at NBC that was just beginning to gurgle, but not much.  Newspapers still were the dominant shaping media of the day, and the New York Times on the front page published a photo, black and white, above the fold, of a child in Somalia starving, wasting away, with insects flying all around its head.  And the collective cry in the media was, &#8220;We\u2019ve got to do something.  We cannot sit by and let this happen.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_91078\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFlag6_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, there was no Twitter, and there was no MySpace and there was no Facebook.  <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=9397\">So there was no hashtag<\/a>.  There was an actual demand that Bush do something, and he did, because of a picture on the front page of the New York Times.  We sent an invading force into Somalia.  CNN had reporters on the beach awaiting their arrival.  This deployment eventually became Black Hawk Down under Bill Clinton.  But that\u2019s another story. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>My point is that a picture on the front page of the New York Times back in whenever it was, 90 or 91, resulted in action to feed starving children. And there was this dictator, this warlord over there by the name of Mohammed Zaheer Zaheen Skyhook or something, and he was the bad guy.  And it wasn\u2019t enough to condemn it.  There were the equivalents of hashtags back then.  There were people standing up and verbally saying they condemned it. &#8220;How horrible is this,&#8221; and &#8220;This is outrageous.&#8221; That was not enough. <\/p>\n<p>You couldn\u2019t get away in 1990 or \u201991 doing the equivalent of a hashtag.  That didn\u2019t buy you anything.  Now, admittedly, Bush was a Republican, and Republicans don\u2019t ever get any credit for caring about anything.  It\u2019s always said that that\u2019s faked, that they don\u2019t really care.  Republicans are haters and bigots and all that. So any time they actually care about something they\u2019re accused of faking it. So Bush, to show that he really cared, deployed the military to go in there. And we eventually found out that the warlord was actually stealing all of the aid that was being sent in from world charitable organizations, much like We Are the World, all that food was stolen, too, in Ethiopia.  But my point here is that a hashtag didn\u2019t get you anything.  The equivalent of a hashtag didn\u2019t buy you one smidgen of good intentions.  It didn\u2019t buy you one 25th of a big heart.<\/p>\n<p>Saying that you were outraged and demanding that something be done about it didn\u2019t get you anything.  The United States actually had to do something.  Now, here we are in 2014, we\u2019ve had 300 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped, and we don\u2019t have to do anything today. With video of the schoolgirls, with video of the kidnappers, all we need to today is a hashtag, and that now suffices for taking action.  Some people even think it is the equivalent of taking action.  We have had some sound bites from people already today: &#8220;It is working,&#8221; some woman said. One of our first sound bites today, &#8220;It is working.&#8221;  That\u2019s just a small example of how the symbolic and how the image of something or the buzz of the PR has come, how far it has come to replacing actual action and substance of actual results. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=9424\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_91077\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichelleObamaHashtag1.jpg\"\/><\/a>The hashtag does it all now.  It says that you care. It\u2019s the equivalent of taking action. And if something happens, if a deal is made with these clowns to give them whoever they want back in exchange for the girls, if that all plays out somewhere, the hashtag is going to get the credit.  And Michelle Obama right there at the top of the list of those who forced the bad guys because they were afraid of the hashtag. <\/p>\n<p>John, Corning, New York, welcome, sir.  Glad you waited.  Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  What an honor, Rush.  Thank you very much for being a purveyor of truth.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, we try.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Speaking about purveyors of propaganda, which is the left, the only way they get their power is to create what\u2019s called disco sheep, dependent, ignorant, stupid, compliant, obedient sheep.  That\u2019s what they want.  When Reagan went over the wall in Berlin, he didn\u2019t preach.  He lived what he believed.  He told them, and this had come out of his speech a couple of times, but at the last moment, he put it back in there, and he told them, &#8220;Tear down this wall.&#8221;  And he backed that up with his Star Wars program.  That wasn\u2019t just a threat.  And he preached anti-communism.  That was his light.  They believed him.  He led from the front.  Now, when you seek truth, which is what you seek and which is what you disperse to your listening audience, truth, I have an acronym for that, RAFI:  reliable, accurate, factual information.  And those who hate America and hate freedom and liberty, they hate RAFI:  reliable, accurate, factual information.  And that\u2019s how the left gets their power from their disco sheep.  And I\u2019m so tired of it, Rush, but I\u2019m thankful and grateful that you are there.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_91079\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan87_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Well, John, thank you very much.  I appreciate it.  Reagan &#8212; it\u2019s another good point &#8212; Reagan went to the Berlin Wall.  &#8220;Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.&#8221;  He was standing right there.  He actually went there. You didn\u2019t get away with this symbolism of a hashtag.  And there was the equivalent of it back then.  There was the equivalent of a hashtag.  You didn\u2019t have social media and the Internet wide, but there were things that people did that were a symbolic expression.  That did not get anything done. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Oh, there\u2019s another example.  Darfur, George Clooney (imitating Clooney),  &#8220;We\u2019ve got to do something, we\u2019ve got to.&#8221;  So Clooney goes to the White House, has a meeting with Obama, comes out, &#8220;Hey, we\u2019ve done something. We had a meeting.  Are not we great people?  We care!&#8221;  Didn\u2019t do anything.  Darfur is still there, and whatever was going on then is going on now, but Clooney is considered a great humanitarian with a big heart, somebody who really cares, lots of compassion. <\/p>\n<p>He probably goes and talks to the UN about it now and then, too, like Sean Penn does or like Angelina Jolie. They really, really care.  Big, big achievements are hard to find.  But it\u2019s the way it works.  Real achievement is mocked.  Real substantive achievement is suspected now of not being real.  Somebody really wildly successful or achieves great things, they had to cheat, or they had to screw somebody.  &#8216;Cause it just can\u2019t happen.  We\u2019re really so convoluted, out of phase.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: To the phones we go. We\u2019re gonna start with Dave in Fort Oglethorpe.
