Time Text
All I can say is it's a good thing a ditto cam wasn't just on.
Greetings and welcome back, folks.
It's Rush Limbaugh the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, and we've got two hours straight ahead of broadcast excellence, a daily excursion.
Hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh, America's anchor man, America's truth detector, America's Doctor of Democracy, all combined to one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
So if you're just joining us, uh the uh subject so far, Howard Dean and his comments, which have begun to call from a liberal who confirmed that what I said about Howard Dean and the Democrats is right on the money.
And that just to sum it up very briefly, you you hear some Democrats saying, yeah, I wish he wasn't saying that, but you don't hear any Democrats demanding that he be shy silenced.
You don't hear any Democrats suggesting that Dean be replaced.
No Democrat is suggesting that Dean be gotten rid of.
In fact, Vic Camber, uh major Democrat strategist and consultant in Washington backed up what Howard Dean says, saying the truth.
And my point is this is exactly what the Democrats in this country think.
They think that the Republican Party is a bunch of conservative Christians, white Christians, and they don't like it.
Now that where they where they don't have the guts to go full speed straight ahead, they're they're kind of backing off and saying, well, you know, that's who you are.
I mean, it's who you are.
But what they're not willing to admit is that there's great fear and great anger associated with this view of who the uh uh Republican Party happens to be.
And so I just I want to review some things here because you know, this oftentimes these these sorts of accusations tend to put people who have been in the minority for a long time on the defensive, and I caution you against going on the defensive.
Don't think you have to defend anything here, folks.
It's like this guy that called me the other day and said, hey, so Amnesty International.
I mean, Rumsville quoted Amnesty International, and you didn't disagree with you didn't dis on Iraq and you didn't disagree with Amnesty International any was trying to put me on the defensive.
So no, you so you can't try this trick with me.
I'm too experienced.
If you're gonna tell me I need to believe Amnesty International because Rumsfeld quoted them, then the question is for you, why don't you believe Amnesty International in what they said about Iraq and Saddam Hussein?
Uh, and instead of asking me why I don't believe that they uh are right when they talk about Gitmo being a gulag, everybody knows Gitmo's not a gulag.
I mean, so don't get defensive with these people.
Let's look at who the Democratic Party is and was.
The Democratic Party was the party of segregation.
The Democrat Senate elected as their leader Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and leading opponent of civil rights legislation.
He was their leader for some 10 or 12 years.
We don't need lectures from rich doctors like Howard Dean, who happened to get elected governor of the whitest state in the country, Vermont, about race.
We don't need a guy like that telling us about race.
George Bush has appointed more minorities to top posts than Bill Clinton ever imagined.
Attorney General, Secretary of State, National Security Council.
One of the constant beefs about the Clinton administration was that there weren't people of color in the powerful positions.
There weren't people of color in the powerful positions of John Kerry's campaign.
There weren't people of color in the powerful positions of Howard Dean's campaign.
Now, what is the agenda of conservative Christians?
This where I don't think anybody needs to get defensive.
The agenda of conservative Christians is the agenda of most Americans.
God, country, family, striving to live a moral life, trying to do the right thing, supporting traditional values that have been respected since our founding, not just traditional values, but institutions and traditions that make this country what it is.
Institutions and traditions which were central to the founding of this country.
And most people believe, most Americans do still believe in these American values.
What's the opposite?
You know, this is it's one thing to say, yeah, I'm a secularist, I don't believe in this crazy whacked out agenda of the conservative Christians.
What's the agenda of the conservative Christians?
God, country, family?
Trying to do the right thing morally?
You know, everybody screws up, but you try.
Having guardrails on the highway so nobody goes too far off base.
basically having decency and this sort of thing is uh as a as a common value.
What's the opposite of all this?
If that stuff is wacko, if that stuff's weird, if if if having a belief in God and country and family and uh and the country in general, being patriotic, striving to live a moral life, if that's wacko, what's the opposite?
Well, the opposite is rejecting God.
The opposite is rejecting country, the opposite is rejecting family values.
And we know this is what the secularist left lives, the Democrats reject, and it's why they keep losing elections time and time again.
You can't tell me they don't reject God.
They're trying to get God out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
They're trying to get the American flag taken down at public events.
They want any reference to God that is related to religion, and how could it not be removed from public squares?
It's the Democrats and their allies on the left that are attempting to do this.
Why, they're threatened by it.
They're threatened by it.
There must be fear associated with it.
Okay, so you're a secularist, so you're an atheist, so you don't believe in God.
So you drive by the town square, there's an attivity scene.
So ignore it.
Keep going.
No, I can't.
You are seving it down my throat.
You are putting in my faith.
You are trying to impose it.
No, nobody's imposing anything on you.
Just people respecting their traditions and values that made the country great.
So I mean, it's it's it's it really is more interesting to look at what the rejection of conservative Christian belief is, or Judeo-Christian belief.
Look at what the opposite is.
Rejecting God, rejecting country, rejecting family values.
And the Democrats say they pretend that they don't discriminate against people of faith.
I'll tell you what, William Pryor, Janice Rogers Brown, a couple of these judge nominees that Bush has sent up, when you listen to Charles Schumer oppose them, he'll say they're deeply held personal views.
What the hell are that?
Are those?
What what I'll tell you what they are.
That's code word.
That's code language for his religious beliefs.
Deeply held personal beliefs.
You see, in fact, Christianity is the one religion today in this country it is perfectly okay to make fun of, laugh at, mock, ridicule, and destroy.
You can't do it to Judaism, you can't do it to Islam, you can't do it to virtually any, you can't even make fun of the atheists.
But boy, religion, conservative Christian religion, Christianity, whatever, it's open season.
It's politically correct to make fun of not only the religion, but the people who believe in it.
From the very people who say we ought not do that kind of thing.
So when you say to Chuck Schumer, any Democrat and you watch the way they react, you just oppose Will Bill Pryor because he's a Catholic.
You oppose uh prior because he's a Catholic and his uh his Don't you dare accuse me of being anti-religious people?
Don't you dare say that about why not?
It's true.
Why don't you just stand up and admit it?
In fact, why are you reacting in such a hysterical, unhinged way to the accusation if it's not true?
You're reacting unhinged and reacting hysterically because it is true.
They pretend they don't discriminate against religious people, people of faith, and yet they send Howard Dean out time and time again to demean and defame the Republican Party made up of white Christians.
And notice how they keep changing what the majorities are.
First, a majority was a popular vote.
All you needed was 51 votes, 50.1, 50.1% of the vote, and you won, and you had a mandate if you were a Democrat with that.
You were a big winner.
You had a landslide, 50.1%.
Well, you were the winner.
You were the clear clutch clear-cut majority winner.
Having won that, they say they came within one state of winning the electoral college.
Then they say, well, they lost the Senate.
More people voted for the Democrats senators than the Republican senators.
They continually change the ground rules to justify their minority status and to change it.
They simply reject being the minority.
They reject being the losers, and so they redefine terms and come up with cockamamy excuses or examples.
Well, you know, there are more people in the in the blue counties than there are in all the red states if you want to talk about a majority.
Just look at the election results.
Even now, when Bush wins by four million votes, they still call it a contested election and not a clear mandate.
They call it close.
Then they use the language, several books out there about how liberals need to speak differently to appear to be less left wing and more religious to conceal their liberalism.
And then they send Howard Dean out there.
Now, whatever progress they make, which I submit is none, but whatever progress they make toward concealing their liberalism is dispelled.
All they got to do is send Howard Dean outer Hillary Clinton to the right audience, and bamboo, it's clear as a bell who they are.
There's never any real introspection among these people, never any doubts about the failure of their ideas or their political divide and conquer tactics.
They just keep bumping their heads against the same wall.
And they keep their anger and and I dare say sometimes it borders on a seething rage.
They keep it front and center.
It's what motivates them.
It's what inspires them.
And don't believe there's no fear associated with it.
The fear that is associated with it is they see no hope of victory.
That's the fear.
They see themselves getting even smaller in number.
They see themselves becoming even more marginalized.
You have to laugh, folks, when they talk about conservative media bias in America today.
Conservative media bias.
It's just a group of people unable to look at reality and see it for what it is.
That means they can't look at themselves and see who they really are.
And so any substantive improvement will uh elude them.
Because there's no introspection.
You know as well as I do, your personal life or anything else, if something's going wrong, you have to include yourself in the blame analysis.
Can't just blame everybody else for your plight.
If you really want to fix it, you have to examine the possibility you may be doing something wrong and then change that.
That's what they are not doing because in their minds, it's impossible for them to be wrong.
They're liberals, they're secularists.
There's nothing wrong about it.
It's not possible for them to be wrong.
It's like these liberal news networks on television.
Their audiences just keep vanishing.
I mean, it's like a vacuum cleaner is sucking these audiences away from some of these liberal cable news networks, and they sit there and I I'm literally amazed as somebody in the broadcasting business.
I am amazed to watch the obstinate stubbornness in the face of all this and the unwillingness to take steps to fix it.
In fact, to deny that it's as bad as it is.
I believe it's to our benefit, but it still blows me away.
Gotta take a break back after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, back we go to the phones.
Uh start in Crofton, Maryland.
John, glad you call.
Glad you waited.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Yeah, Megadiddos Rush.
Uh, you are the fairest guy in the world as far as letting uh some enemy on the show, the liberal that called up from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, uh, you know, he ticked off all the things that uh he he validated all the points that you made about liberals, except he threw in secular values, and that always makes me wonder.
I don't think liberals have any values.
The only the only thing that they want is they want to be hedonistic.
They want to be able to have full pleasure with no responsibility, and the only time that they want to be able to exercise any kind of control is uh when they take the think they're taking the high moral ground, like with the environmental stuff, and they they want to tell you what to do.
And uh we have Montgomery County down here.
They had a high school party uh just a few days ago, and uh six or eight police showed up at the house and said we want to come in and we want to uh uh breathalize all these uh kids that are under drinking age, which is 21, and these kids were just, I think, uh high school kids.
Maybe they might even be junior high, and they were told to uh no, you can't do that.
You know, it's a private home, you don't have a warrant.
And this is uh they they have a county executive there that's gonna be running for the uh for governor of Maryland.
I think he just uh ruined himself because this is uh an example of what liberals are.
This is a one party state, and even though we have a Republican governor, he's probably not gonna get re-elected because most of the people in the state would go along with that.
But liberals, they don't want freedom.
They make believe they do.
And I think the reason Dean has been saying that.
But wait a minute, wait, hold on.
No, wait, no, wait, wait a minute.
Now, I we're we're starting to generalize here a little bit too much.
Uh, in the first liberals do have values, and they they do want freedom.
Uh, but there are restrictions on each.
There are limits and there are definitions and there are permissions attached to each.
Now, let's let's let's let's take your your your first question.
Well, if before before going with what is secular values, I'm not I'm not sure that uh I'm able to actively and accurately answer that.
Secular secular values are I I see what you mean about the the term being uh uh a great conflict, secular values, almost like an oxymoron.
I think the thing that troubles, and it's hard to identify one thing, the thing that troubles most people about the American left today is particularly given that we are in a post-9-11 world, the thing that troubles people the most, makes them curious, angry or whatever, is this constant, never-ending blame for this country.
This country is the evil of the planet.
This country's military is the evil, this country's the reason for global warming, this country's the reason for environmental destruction, this country is the reason the Amazon forest was going to be which, oh, by the way, we'll hear the story I have coming up on that.
Another liberal myth explodes about the uh Amazon forest and its role in world ecology.
Uh we can have a liberal group call a prison camp in Guantanamo Bay a gulag, and we all know that over a million and a half to two million prisoners died in Soviet gulags.
I mean, it it the eagerness and the willingness to chop this country down to size, the eagerness and the willingness to oppose this country's superpower status, the eagerness and the willingness to rob this country of its prosperity in the name of fairness to redistribute the wealth produced by this country to all the other despots and thugs around the world.
These are things that are inexplicable.
We just know that they exist.
I can't tell you why this is become a liberal mindset.
Uh it's it's it's more complicated, and it's not sufficient to just say they hate America.
There's there have to be underlying reasons that have gotten them to this point.
You can say, well, it's been their college professors.
Okay, well, what is it that motivates them?
Well, okay, they're communists or they're socialists, okay, fine.
But how?
How does that happen in the greatest country on earth?
How is it intellectually possible for a communist in America or a socialist in America to look around the world and not realize the utter failure of both systems?
How is it not possible for a liberal in America to look at Western Europe and see the crumbling effects of decades of socialism?
How is it not possible to see this?
How instead is it easy to see America as the evil?
How is it easy for these people to suggest that America poses the great problem, that life in America is unfair and unjust, and it's full of discrimination and full of pain and full of suffering.
Now, okay, they may look across the pond and well, it's just the wrong people running those socialist countries.
Or maybe they haven't been fully funded.
Still does it explain the intellectual void.
It is as understandable as two plus two is four that socialism fails.
It is as understandable as one plus one is two that capitalism works.
Yes, it is.
I give you the world.
Take a look at any country in the world and compare it to this one and ask yourself where you'd rather be.
So what is it?
And ask yourself why this country, barely 230 years old, runs rings around every other country on the planet that's been here thousands and thousands.
There's one there's one answer.
We're no different human beings than anybody else around the world.
We're no better.
We're no different, we just have freedom.
We have the ability to be the best we can be.
And even that threatens the left in this country.
Even that.
To look around the third world of Africa and say, that's pristine.
That's what the world needs to be to save the planet.
It's it's absurd.
So much of what liberals believe is absolutely absurd.
It's impossible to intellectually understand it.
So you have to examine it emotionally and psychologically.
But I'm telling you, you folks, one thing you have to, you cannot rule out what's governing these people is a prolonged and never-ending fear.
Just fear almost of life.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
A man, a legend, a way of life, learn it, love it, live it.
The EIB network and L. Rushbow.
To the phones we continue.
Gary in Acton, Massachusetts.
Hello, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
I wanted to offer a hypothesis about why the left is so hostile to traditional religion.
The left has prospered by controlling information flows, primarily through the old media and the government school.
Traditional religion doesn't pass through those filters, which makes it very difficult to spin or to fit into a template.
If you want to coin a phrase, you are absolutely right.
And I think I think this was never brought to the forefront in more vivid terms than during the funeral week of Pope John Paul XXIII.
Would you look at the abject fear that was throughout the leftist secular community in this country over the outpouring of love and adoration around the world for that man?
And what I found just delicious about it was that that outpouring of love and devotion, that tribute was brought to the world via the cameras of the secular left.
They were looking through their lens finders and they were seeing their version of hell.
And their lens finders and their cameras were bringing to the world the truth of a large body of people on this planet.
And I said then, you know, it became a crystal clear to me.
The Catholic Church is a competing supreme court to the American secular left.
The Pope is a chief justice they can't control.
And the Catholic Church and all of Christianity is a court that they can't pack, and they can't infiltrate, and they can't change.
Yet they keep trying.
Pope dies.
What's the focus of the mainstream media and the American left all week?
What's the church going to do to modernize to let us become members?
Or what's the church going to do to modernize to become more liberal so that we will like them?
It's not the church's mission.
But so there they look at they look at modern religion as a competitor.
It's a threat, folks.
It is a threat because it can't be controlled and it can't be changed, it can't be reordered.
But even at that, I mean, these are all examples.
These are all examples of who the left is, and but but explaining the why.
That's probably going to escape me my whole life.
Intellectually, it will escape me.
Now you can say, okay, you have two worldviews, capitalism versus socialism slash communism.
And the American left looks at socialism communism and says, you know, we want to we want to cast our lot with that.
You look around the world where that lot has been tried, and you see utter misery.
You see murder, mass killing, walls built around countries to keep people in.
You see economic disparity like you've never seen.
You see poverty, you see environmental destruction like nowhere else on the world in communist socialist countries.
You see unemployment, you see no initiative, you see absolutely no vitality whatsoever.
And yet you still see that as the dream when you have this other example, capitalist America, right in your backyard, probably making you very affluent as a liberal.
And yet you look at this rest of the world where socialism and communism rules, and you see a greater opportunity.
So what is it that causes that vision to occur?
Well, there's a better way, Rush.
It can be better for everybody.
Well, you know, that's utopianism.
That's just that's just fantasy.
And maybe they're all fantasizing.
Maybe they're unable to deal with the hard cold realities of the human existence.
They're unable to deal with the hard cold realities of life.
I mean, folks, it gets absurd.
Here, here, how much money I want to add it up.
I want I got a research project for somebody on my staff.
Because Bush and Blair have just come up with another 600 plus uh what, million or billion.
600, I forget, million or billion, it all 600 some odd million.
Okay, to Africa.
And Blair says we got to do this, and Bush says we got to do this.
Now I want to know how many billions this country in foreign aid through the UN, whatever other agencies have been sent to that country or anywhere else.
It's not focusing on Africa just per se, but Africa is the focus today because Bush and Blair are going to send a bunch of money over there.
Sending money over there is not the answer.
And in fact, the left today is making fun of the amount.
Oh, it's too small, it won't matter.
And then they come out and say, that's less per capita than what the Netherlands sends.
No matter what we do, it isn't good enough.
No matter how much we do, it isn't good enough.
The left is in such a contradictory position.
They used to always stand for freedom from oppression.
They used to always stand for human rights, and yet they are perfectly content for Saddam Hussein to remain in power, raping, murdering, to the tune of three to five hundred thousand people.
Because they hate George Bush so much.
And it's just it intellectually it is it is inexplicable.
You can't understand it.
Emotionally you can.
And then for those people who have these convoluted views, and no matter what news this country makes, they always see the bad side of it, the negative side of it.
They're always quick to criticize this country.
This country is first on the blame list for them.
You just have to wonder where does this come from?
And these are people that are very affluent themselves into maybe I know there's guilt associated with all this.
There's a there's a whole there's a whole lot of uh psychological explanations for this, but intellectual I just I can't see them.
I I that there's there is so much contradiction, there's so much hypocrisy.
There is so much, like I say, redefining terms.
A minority used to be a loser when the Republicans were the minority, now the minority is the winner.
The minority rights constantly redefining terms so that they remain in their own minds, the majority and the ones with primacy superiority.
Jeff in Detroit, welcome to the program, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Ah, Rush, great to be with you.
It's quite an honor.
I appreciate you taking the call.
Thank you, sir.
Couple of couple of points real quick.
You know, I heard that uh caller earlier come in and talk about the liberal values, and I couldn't have been more happy.
Finally, somebody said everything except for one thing, socialist, and you picked that up, so I appreciate that.
But the one myth I want to dispel with is that you know, conservatives aren't for the environment.
That is the biggest lying propaganda piece that's been perpetrated to people.
We just try to take a sensible look at things and say, hey, can we operate sustainably?
Can we do things, you know, in in conjunction with our environment?
No way, you know.
Uh just a little flexibility, I've got see, no, but on this one, you're missing the you're you're missing the point.
They don't actually believe that can well, you have some liberals do, but I mean the the liberals that are in charge of coming up with these arguments in these terms.
The idea of presenting conservatives and republicans as anti-environment is meant is is mainly and merely a strategy.
What they try to do is inculcate fear and crisis.
Uh they they are the simple, it's it's you know, they're results-oriented.
I got there's an editorial today in the Washington Post about the um marijuana decision.
And they get it all right, but they'd have no idea why they're right.
It it it I I may I may spend some time analyzing their position for you on it, but um it's it's a I refuse to believe that they actually believe all these things about they say them.
Now, some of the rank and file, and some of the fringe kooks that have become the mainstream do believe it.
But not all of them do.
Nobody's monolithic.
No one group is monolithic with the same set of values and views and opinions that you can attach from person to person to person within that group.
Uh but I I think they're their their strategy in describing one thing, conservatives are racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes.
Well, that uh is a is a is a is a cliche that has uh resulted from a time-honored technique of discrediting opponents because the left cannot beat opponents in the arena of ideas.
The left cannot win intellectual arguments.
So all they can do is discredit the people on the right who are making opposing arguments.
And in the process, they hope to shape the minds of those not paying close attention.
And as you know, as a conservative, it's worked for a time over the years.
How many of you have run into people and you've announced you're conservative and they think you hate everything?
They think you hate everybody.
It's just a it's just a means of discrediting because they can't win the argument.
And uh but but they're they are starting to lose the argument, not precisely because they can't make it.
As I I've said this over and over again, I think they got lulled into a sense of false sense of security for 50 years.
They ran the show and they had the mainstream media never challenging them, but merely amplifying and echoing what they said.
We, on the other hand, those same 50 years trying to gain prominence, gain a foothold, and eventually become the majority, had to learn to express our views, explain to people in a persuasive way what we believed.
And at the same time, we're being challenged and impugned and laughed at, mischaracterized by the left and the media, and yet we forged ahead.
After 50 years, we've gotten damn good at telling people why we think what we think.
The left hasn't.
The left can't tell anybody why they think what they think.
All they can do is discredit us and try to scare people into thinking we somehow mean harm to them.
They can't explain their positions.
All they can do is articulate them.
That's why they're losing elections.
I mean, none of this is particularly upsetting to me, but it is an interesting intellectual exercise to try to explain them.
And I defy anybody to be able to do it.
I mean, you can come up with examples, but to give me a reason why a 35-year-old human being in America living a prosperous life, hates this country and accuses this country first, assumes this country is the enemy.
I defy you to give me an intellectual explanation that I will accept.
There isn't one.
There are only psychological and emotional reasons.
And they make no sense whatsoever.
And you can go nuts trying to understand it.
It's best to laugh at it and understand that it all means they're losing.
No matter where you look, they're losing.
No matter where you look, other than their strongholds.
But even in their strongholds, there's some trouble because there's some defectors.
Some liberals can't abide it anymore.
And we've had their columns on this program.
They can't abide the the intellectual hypocrisy.
They can't abide the dishonesty.
They can no longer associate themselves with it.
They can't explain it themselves.
And they'd rather not be back after this and continue just a sec.
We have a soundbite.
Nancy Pelosi was asked at a, I guess, a press conference today on Capitol Hill, her reaction to Howard Dean's comments in San Francisco about the Republican Party being a white Christian conservative party.
I don't think that the uh statement that the governor made was a helpful statement.
But I do think that he's doing a great job uh in broadening the base of those who are involved in the Democratic Party.
Come on.
Come on.
This is just this is too good.
He's doing the exact opposite, Nancy.
He's doing the all he's doing is fueling the fire that's already raging among the Demcook base.
And we had a liberal caller confirm that for us in the first hour of this program.
In fact, about two hours ago, I was uh a little over two hours ago just talking to this guy.
If the statement's not helpful and yet he's doing a good job of reaching out to the base, what does that mean?
Those two don't go together.
His statement's not helpful, but he's doing the good.
Your fundraising is less than one-third the Republicans year to date, 2005.
He's not broadening the base of anybody to show you, folks, uh what's the word?
I'm having a mental block on the word.
These these people are are mental.
Remember after the election, they were so stunned, they couldn't believe what had happened.
They carry was the smartest guy in the world.
Carrie was going to run away with this.
They had fixed Florida.
They had all those provisional voters out there.
They had all those, they had stacked people.
They got their early voting.
The Democrats standing in line for days.
This was just a fate accompli waiting to happen.
The Democrats are going to get the White House back.
They end up losing by four million votes.
They're stunned.
And all of them, all the leaders, we've got to do a better job of reaching out to these values people.
Because in the immediate days after the election, remember it was the values people that won it for the Republicans.
That means that's code word.
That means religious voters.
That means the evangelicals out there.
Hey, turned out in droves and a Democrats.
We've got to reach out to these people.
We've got to find a way to reach out to them.
Now look at them.
They're doing everything they can to alienate them.
They're doing everything they can to offend them.
They're doing everything they can to marginalize them to insult them.
Now, why?
Is it that they're just incapable of staying on message?
It's uh well, the simple explanation is they never tell us the truth.
After the election, they were just saying they had to reach out to values people.
But they can't.
This is my point about discussing this intellectually.
They can't reach out to religious people as they are.
They don't like religious people.
What in the world are they going to reach out to find in common?
They look at religious people and they want to shut them up.
They look at religious people, they want to tear down their Christmas trees.
They want to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
They don't want God mentioned anywhere in school.
They don't want prayer going on anywhere where they know what's going on.
Not much listen, see it.
They don't want anything like that.
What are they going to reach out with?
How are they going to reach out with what?
And with whom?
Whom in their party they're going to send to carry out this reach out.
They can't do it.
It's just like the liberal media.
Well, I know what they would have to do to reform, but they can't.
They're not institutionally incapable of it.
Because they are who they are.
A tiger is a tiger.
They are losing as they are, and they're trying to come up with all these different images, statements to explain that they're not who they are.
But the days of being a phony and getting away with it, because you had a mainstream media monopoly, are over.
So what happened?
After the election, we've got to reach out to these people in the red states.
We've got to reach out to the values people.
Well, obviously something happened.
You know what I think happened?
I think they heard from their Kook Fringe on that.
I think the Kook Fringe started writing letters and the moveon.org people, you do that, and we're taking over the party.
You don't run this party anymore.
You guys have run this party in the ground.
You're too much of the K Street complex.
You and corporate America and big donors, the moveon.org people said we're taking over this party.
Cook Fringe basically said it's ours.
And so the Democrats that are elected and in office dead at 180, and they backtracked from reaching out, and they began trashing and attacking.
To the point that Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats had to challenge the counting of the electoral votes in the House of Representatives.
Not because they knew there was any chance of winning, but to placate their base.
Howard Dean's the spokesman for one reason to placate their base.
It's their one hope of fundraising.
Placate the base.
So that's why I'm telling you, he can say he can say worse than this.
He can he can go off the deep end, and he can need the white jacket and the men with the white coats and a little yellow bus taking him to the asylum, and they're still gonna keep him as chairman of the DNC because he's saying who they are.
He is articulating who they are, what they believe.
This is actually good news, folks.
No, I don't mean to sound alarmed.
I'm just trying to explain it all to you.
Um and I really don't want anybody taking this personally.
This is this is it is not even worth that.
Got to run back with more in a second.
Stay with us.
Yeah, I love this headline in the Washington Post today.
Liberals rethinking.
Senate filibuster deal.
Eleanor Holmes Norton said yesterday, our problem with a compromise is the price that was paid.
She and other congressional black caucus members plan to march to the Senate today to protest the impending confirmation of Janice Rogers Brown.
They are going to march to the Senate.
This is nothing more than a bunch of liberal whining that they can't completely control the courts.
That's all it is.
Keep whining, Eleanor, keep complaining.
You lost you deal with it in a mature way.
We've got the Ditto Cam coming up in the uh final hour of the program.
It'll be on in a couple of three minutes, folks, for those of you at Rush Limbaugh.com and our podcasts continue today as well.
