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

RUSH: Eric, Newtown, Connecticut. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I really do appreciate you taking calls, giving the few the opportunity to speak to the millions. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you waited. I appreciate your patience.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I gotta also give you a huge pat on the back, too. I\u2019m not sure… You know, fame, it doesn\u2019t come in one flavor that everybody wants a piece. What you\u2019re doing is really a courageous thing for truth, simply being truthful. It\u2019s quite a burden that you have to carry to do that. I really appreciate it. But the point I wanted to make, Rush, was that the problem that\u2019s going on in this country right now is broken hearts. <\/p>\n

These people, these dysfunctional females are making these young people. Everyone starts off with youth, and if they don\u2019t have a father who\u2019s showing them how to do life, they want to cling to anything. They really do trust Obama, period! They trust him, and, let me tell you, they\u2019d reelect him. I know. I live and work with these people. They really would reelect Obama right now. <\/line><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care about the Constitution. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care about how many people died for them to have the right to do anything that\u2019s going on around them. It\u2019s an every-man-for-himself existence that they live right now, and it really is a sad thing. If people looked at it from this point of view, the people who have had Pops… God bless him. Like you\u2019ve shared so much of your life, your personal life with us, Rush.<\/p>\n

Not everybody had Pops in their life. I did have a strong moral father in my life, but that\u2019s where we learned how we don\u2019t have to be afraid, and then where did we learn our morals from? We learned it in the church! There\u2019s a whole other thing that young people and people in general want to stay away from because that\u2019s the place where people gonna get judged.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There\u2019s no judging these people. That\u2019s like a personally attack!<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. People have not been taught to take risks. They have not been taught to learn how to get along on their own.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re scared to death, Rush, and they trust Obama. You know, it\u2019s not happening by accident, this whole Obamacare thing. It\u2019s not called the Affordable Health Care Act for nothing.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. It\u2019s called the Obama phone. It\u2019s called Obama stamps.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s because they trust him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look, that argument that he made is irrefutable when applied certain people. He\u2019s basically saying that the breakup of the traditional family causes it. He\u2019s focused on lack of father \u2019cause they\u2019re the ones that vamanos mostly and the government comes right in and assumes the role of father — and it doesn\u2019t just affect young boys, Eric. Single women likewise end up looking at government as provider, protector, you name it.<\/p>\n

None of the rest matters. You exactly right. “Constitution? The hell with that! Free speech? I don\u2019t care! Where is my phone? I don\u2019t care! Where are my food stamps or whatever. I mean, you gotta eat, and you\u2019ve got to live, and I don\u2019t care about the Fourth Amendment and searches and seizures. I don\u2019t care! Where am I gonna get my whatever?” So I know. That\u2019s also by design, by the way. <\/p>\n

The breakup of the family, you can trace it. You can trace this. You can trace it right back to 1964 and the Great Society and Lyndon Johnson. You can trace it. You can trace the bust-up of the family — you can trace the dissolution of black families, you can trace the rampant increase in poverty, you can trace the amount of money that has been transferred to deal with these inequalities and inequities — and you will see that all of this “charity” quote\/unquote has just given rise to the need for more of it. <\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t solved anything. <\/p>\n

Eric, I appreciate the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
