Time Text
And as I promised, ladies and gentlemen, the Ditto Cam is is on at Rushlimboard.com, and I am sitting here amidst billowing clouds of fragrant.
First and secondhand aromatic cigar smoke.
And enjoying every moment of it.
The EIB Southern Command.
I am America's Anchorman and America's Truth Detector.
All combined into one harmless, lovable little fuzzball to treat.
To be with you people on a daily basis, the phone number, if you'd like to join us, 800 282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
I had a call last week from somebody who asked me if I thought that the Supreme Court's eminent domain decision, particularly the decision in New London, Connecticut, would actually spark a um uh a public outcry.
And I said, oh yeah, it already has.
There are all kinds of communities all over the country already taking steps to make sure that that cannot happen in their communities.
Have a couple of stories here today from uh from the New York region.
This is from Ridgefield, Connecticut.
A new eminent domain case is brewing in Connecticut as Ridgefield, Connecticut officials prepare to take private property to be used for corporate office space.
The developer Eureka Five is seeking to build 510 townhouses and apartments on 154 acres.
The proposal would require a zoning change because the property is now zoned for commercial development.
A town official cited the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling last month that widens eminent domain power, granting local governments broad rights to seize private property to generate tax revenue.
The court ruled on appeal from a new London property owner.
Now the uh the John Katz, who's the vice chairman of the Ridgefield Planning and Zoning Commission, said it seems the Supreme Court ruling could well benefit towns in the taking of unimproved lands.
But he said he believed the decision regarding New London was disturbing.
I think it's disastrous for what it means to the taking of private homes for the spurious goals of economic development.
What passes for economic development today has been uh seen to be cyclical, and there is nothing cyclical about residential displacement of a population.
Now, Ridgefield first selectman Rudy Marconi offered to buy the land that's in that's in question here from Eureka 5 in 2001 for 2.7 million dollars.
He told a developer that if necessary, the town would take the property using eminent domain.
Eureka 5 sought an injunction in federal court to halt the eminent domain move and accused Ridgefield of violating the federal fair housing law by trying to prevent Eureka from building houses for people with school-aged children.
Eureka has since sought a zoning change, which will be the subject of a planning and zoning commission hearing on Tuesday.
Marconi said he's confident that the town will eventually have the property and will go ahead with plans to build 600,000 square feet of corporate office space.
He says it's now clear that if Ridgefield is victorious in federal court, which we feel we will be, then we can proceed with an eminent domain taking of the property.
The Danbury, Connecticut News Times reported that lawyers for Eureka 5 couldn't be reached for comment.
Marconi said the new London case is different than Ridgefield's situation.
The property being considered for eminent domain taking is zoned for corporate development and is vacant.
So uh nevertheless, what's happening here is that this decision is spawning all kinds of people to get in on the eminent domain issue on both sides of it.
There are people trying to take advantage of it, which you can understand, and there are people attempting to stop it.
Now from Long Branch, New Jersey.
The battle continues over the city's plan to seize private property.
This is the other side of the story.
The City of Long Branch could initiate action this week to seize private property for public development, beginning a process that public officials and landowners agree could take years to resolve.
The city attorney, James G. Aaron, said that he could receive authorization as early as Tuesday to send 14-day letters to 12 to 14 property owners with whom negotiations have not been productive.
Many of these owners have vowed they will not sell at any price, claiming the city is engaging in an unconstitutional taking of their properties So they may be conveyed to private developers who will build high-priced housing.
They also claim their properties were significantly undervalued by the city's appraiser, who they say failed to use oceanfront property as a means to compare.
Now the city signed an agreement in 2000 with Motzel and Mumford, a Hazlet-based subsidiary of K. Hovanion, which, along with Hoboken-based applied development company, is preliminary approval to build in the second phase of the project known as Beachfront North.
So, yes, it is continuing on both sides.
In some places it's being opposed.
I think in a lot of places it's it's uh it's going to continue to be a posed.
What's different, and I'll tell you what's happening.
You have you have elected officials at the state level and the federal level who are now having to write new laws to say you can't do this.
You shouldn't have to do this because the Constitution already says it.
The eminent domain takings clause is in the Fifth Amendment.
The Fifth Amendment says that any taking must be done at a fair market value for public use.
Well, public use has now been at stretched.
The definition's been stretched by the U.S. Supreme Court to include government choosing between two private property owners and deciding which one they like based on tax revenue and other considerations.
And if it means taking property from an existing owner or owners and giving it to the new guys, they're doing it.
So we're writing laws saying you can't do that.
We shouldn't have to write these laws.
This is what happens.
When the left gets a bunch of activists on the court who who um uh basically implement their personal policy preferences, you have to go back and rewrite the Constitution and specify it, even though it's already clear.
And we had years and years and years of understanding on this until this decision.
So, yeah, I think this is going to continue to have people steamed.
It's going to continue to get them steamed up, and it's also going to focus attention on the reason that these next series of appointments as justices are crucial and uh and important.
Mrs. Clinton, Hillary Rodham was in Aspen.
And she went on the attack against President Bush in a speech yesterday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich, and here we go again.
The same old class envy business and from a playbook that is 30 to 40 years old.
Mrs. Rodham accused Bush of depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funding for scientific research.
I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Newman is in charge in Washington, Ms. Rodham said, referring to the mad magazine character.
She drew a laugh from the crowd when she described Bush's attitude toward tough issues with Newman's catchphrase, what?
Me worry.
She was speaking during the inaugural Aspen Ideas Festival, organized by the Aspen Institute nonpartisan think tank.
She didn't mention the presidential election in 2008.
Now, the Aspen Institute, just so you know what it is, uh, that's where Walter Isaacson went.
Uh he was at time, then he went to run CNN for a while.
He left CNN and went to the Aspen Institute.
It's nonpartisan.
Walter Isaacson, Time magazine, lives CNN liberal.
I mean, he is.
I know him.
He's a liberal.
But he's now at the nonpartisan Aspen Institute that invited the nonpartisan Hillary Clinton and a bunch of nonpartisan mainstream media people last week to come out and do seminars and roundtables until the London blast and the hurricane when the mainstream media seminar participants had to leave, come off their vacations and uh and come back to uh to work.
Now, as to this business that uh President Bush is just Alfred E. Newman.
Well, let me take a break here.
I'll have some comments on that on the other side.
But this is uh I'll just have the comments on the other side.
Sit tight, folks, don't go away, and we will be right back.
Yes, sir, Bob, we are back.
Rushbow half my brain tied behind my back.
And a continuing quest to make it fair.
So uh Hillary Clinton likens George W. Bush, the president of the United States, to Alfred E. Newman.
Madam Senator, do you really, really want to go down that road?
I'm wondering If she means this.
See, she is said to be the smartest woman in the world, folks.
And that this does not jive with her being the smartest woman in the world.
This does not distance herself from Howard Dean at all.
This does not distance herself from these kooks.
Maybe, maybe that's who she's playing to now.
She keeps going back and forth.
One day she's a moderate, the next day she's a conservative, next day she's getting close to being pro-life.
Then she comes out and does something like this.
And it's it's it's uh it's not hard to keep track of it all, but it and it it's it's actually very easy to realize that some game is being played here.
But I'm wondering, this sounds more like something that James Carville or the forehead would say.
So I'm wondering who's writing her stuff.
Um, she she's she's she's in a little battle here with her with her rivals for the nomination.
And I know she's got to go out and get the Dean Power base of the party, and she's sort of selling her soul to get it with stuff like this.
Uh maybe she's so filled with herself she thinks that she can say anything, and the media will turn the chick uh their cheek, and they will.
I mean, the media is not gonna think this is uh lack of civility or the politics of personal.
In fact, they'll just laugh at it.
But you never hear Bush talking this way about his political opponents.
You never ever hear him doing it.
And he stands just that much taller above them all.
She's just this is why, you know, I've always I've always objected to this notion she's the smartest woman in the world.
She just lowered herself to all the rest of these, you know, little chihuahuas yipping at Bush's ankles out there in the Democratic Party.
She's she's no different than uh than any of that.
I mean, this you know, you contrast her saying this with Bush's class act at the G8 uh last week.
And it, you know, it's just it's amazing.
Here we have we have a woman, and I I'll say this.
You know, she she can cover up.
She can cover up her rear end with a pantsuit, but apparently she can't cover her fat mouth.
You know, we are at war for crying out loud.
The liberals in the Senate are faking reaching out to people.
London has just been bombed.
We might have uh, you know, two or three Supreme Court appointments made by Bush.
Hillary's out there wanting more federal money for New York State.
And the smartest woman in the world, with an asterisk bear, by the way, attacks the president with a Roseanne-like stunt.
This is something you might hear one of the libs on crossfire say.
I don't know how you change the tone from that.
But I, you know, uh if if if George W. Bush reminds Mrs. Clinton of Alfred E. Newman, then I'll just say it.
Her husband reminded me and thought we had Larry Flint in the White House for eight years, folks.
How's that?
We had Larry Flint in the White House for eight years, while a whole bunch of national security questions were being ignored, while terrorism was basically off the table, except we were cutting and running from it in Mogadishu.
And while old Larry Flint Jr.'s in the Oval Office with cigars and who knows whatever else, all these other things are going on around the world.
Mrs. Clinton is worried about the fact we got a president now that she says reminds her of Alfred E. Newman.
How can she say what me worry?
She misunderstands, I'm sure he does worry, but he's confident.
Because he knows himself.
He likes himself, Mrs. Clinton, and he's very comfortable in telling everybody who he is, very comfortable being who he is, very comfortable telling anybody who wants to know and who willing to listen what his ideas are.
He doesn't have to have a meeting with himself to figure out what his core values are.
He doesn't have to have a meeting with himself to figure out what his strategy is going to be.
It is what it is.
He said what he was going to do during the campaign and he did it, which led a bunch of Democratic consultants after he was inaugurated to say they've been tricked, because nobody does what they say they're going to do in a campaign, but Bush did it.
So what me worry?
I don't even think it's an apropos analogy.
Larry Flint is much closer to her own husband in the White House, Kurt in Toledo.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey.
Why you gotta call Clinton Larry Flint?
That's not even respectful, but that's not why I'm calling.
I caught you in a flip-flop, which you always accluse accused Clinton of doing.
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, hold hold on a minute.
Let me I've I've lost you here already.
Uh I just explained why I call Clinton Larry Flint.
Well, it ain't right.
But anyway.
Well, no kidding.
It ain't right, no kidding.
Welcome to the club.
It was elected twice, Rush.
Yes, and so is Bush Ben.
You know, people had space.
Well, let me ask you that.
Do you think Hillary is appropriately uh describing President Bush calling him Alfred E. Newman?
Well, by your words, it's all good to be braggadocious and taunting people like you said they shouldn't be able to do that.
No, just answer the qu no don't aunt don't don't tell me about me.
That's why I called because I caught you in double.
It may not be why you call, but it's what you're damn well going to talk about because you let off with it.
No, that's what I call your calling.
Answer the question.
Do you think it's appropriate for Hillary to call Bush Alfred E. Newman?
If they're wearing them shirts, Fairek, I think it's appropriate.
It's the same thing that you were saying that that Bush has class, but then the troops are wearing them shirts.
Now who's got who who's got class here?
What what the troops or Bush?
You talked about the city.
You were flipped, Rush.
I thought you I caught you.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Are you talking about the club getmo shirts?
Yep.
Because that call earlier, and you said, well, taunt they you know, they should stand up and taunt and brag and all that.
And now Hillary's doing the same thing and you're mad at her about it.
This is why I get No, I'm not mad at her about it.
I'm trying to point out how ripping on her about it.
Why don't you rip on them guys for wearing them shirts?
And you said that Durban's word for you.
I gave them the shirts.
They're proud to wear the shirts.
This is what I get paid for, folks, to irritate these people.
Somebody's got to earn the big bucks, why not me?
And you like Hank Stram?
He he wouldn't let his players taunt.
But you want us to taunt.
Goodbye.
Stram wouldn't let his players taunt.
Hank Stram wouldn't let his players taunt he hung up.
That's a shame.
I wish the guy would have hung on.
Now what else was he saying?
I'm ripping on her about it.
I'm reading the transcript, but why don't you rip on them guys for wearing them shirts and you said that Durban, you know?
I'm telling you, there's there's there's a there's a there's a there's a shield around these people, and it just does not allow reality to get in.
I don't know how else to explain it.
Poor guy.
He's from Ohio.
Must have been one of those guys that didn't get to the polling place on time because they probably kept him tied up in his house.
Charlie in uh in Corona del Mar, California.
Welcome to the program.
Hello.
What hello, Rush.
Hi.
Testing one, two, three.
Hello.
Yes, hi.
Hi, Rush.
This is Charlie.
Yes.
Hi, Charlie.
How are you?
Fine thanks.
Good.
I was calling about a subject that you were talking about earlier, about the imminent domain.
Yes, ma'am.
And the consequences of what happened after that Supreme Court decision was handed down and how emboldened these other small commissions and bureaucratic groups of people that are...
Yes.
What they're doing is, I think, is assuming way more authority because of the loss of the very concept of private property and where...
what that means in the United States.
And I think that the courts are part of it.
I think that they have lost it as well.
I'm in a pr in a process right now where the Coastal Commission in California is trying to cause us not to have any use whatsoever of our property, which we have been using for thirty years.
Uh what are they trying to do to you?
What are they trying to keep you from using your property, or how are they prying to keep you from using your property?
They they told us to cease and desist the use of it and to to remove facilities that have been on that property.
Well, what do you have your house on it?
Pardon?
You have your house on it, you live on it?
Our house is on it, but the part that they don't want us to use is the yard.
And it because it abuts a public beach, and they're saying that because it ab abuts the public beach, the perception that it's private intimidates the public.
And therefore we have to take down our c our facilities because you know, they did they did the same thing to poor old David Geffen in Malibu, you know.
He they they made him uh open up a right of way next to his house so the public could get to the beach because it is a public beast.
He claimed he owned it and so forth.
Look, I don't think this is the same thing as the takings issue in the uh uh in the Supreme Court cases.
I also have a coastal commission where I live here in Florida, and they keep moving the coastal construction line for people who live on the beach.
They move it further and further and further away from the dune, which uh happens before you get to the beach, and they do it with each hurricane season on the theory that you'll your house will be safer if it's not as close to the beach, which is, I think, a laugh.
If you get a typical storm surge, it's it's it doesn't matter the first floor of whatever is gonna get wiped out if you're on a beach.
Uh but it's my risk.
I think ought to be able to you can get a variance from it.
Uh if you go to the state, which is in Tallahassee here, you go to the state government and get a uh variance.
It can take a year or two, but but uh you can do it.
But now these they're all kinds of uh restrictive zoning and and other regulations that local communities impose on property owners.
That's a whole nother issue, and I'm very sympathetic to a lot of it too, but that's a different issue than this eminent domain business is, which is bad enough in its own right.
We'll be back after this.
Making the complex understandable rush limb again amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first and second hand premium cigar smoke, loving every moment of it.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
If you're just joining us and you missed uh parts of the program earlier, uh let me just give you a little recap of some of the things uh that have transpired, just two or three things.
As you know, we heard from First Sergeant Paul Joseph, the uh first sergeant of the 983rd Engineer Battalion.
We heard from him about three weeks ago.
We sent him some club Gitmogaries at Camp Ramadi, him and his unit.
He got the club Gitmo gear.
They all put it on, about 13 of these guys, and they took a picture, and they've renamed their camp Club Gitmo East.
They sent it into the Club Gitmo photo gallery at Rush Limbaugh.com, and it's up there, and it's a great picture, and it is in your face.
It is to the Dick Durbins and the Ted Kennedys and all the rest of the people that are doing their best to demoralize the troops, whether by design or not, and encourage the enemy, whether by design or not, it just shows this picture that uh uh they're not demoralizing our guys.
It's uh it and and speaking of demorally, we got uh some guy called after it put the picture up and said, You gotta wear those shirts, that's taunting.
We can't taunt the enemy.
I said, What you think they'd rather be taunted or shot.
Now, this last call we had, this Kurt guy from Toledo, he got it was all over the place.
So he got on me for for for supporting him Hank Stram, liking Hank Stram as a football coach and a man.
He said, Hank Stram's team never taunted.
Uh Kurt, I know you're still out there, still trying to get to the polling place.
You probably couldn't find it back in November, and you're still trying to get there cast your vote.
Well, let me just tell you uh the first team to play in the Super Bowl from the American football league was the Kansas City Chiefs, never coached by Hank Stram.
They had a guy in that team made Fred the Hammer Williamson.
And all week leading up to the Super Bowl, the hammer was threatening to behead a couple of Packers.
He was doing more than taunting.
He was he was making claims and putting up what is called bulletin board material for the Packers, and it ended up.
It ended up that Fred DeHammer Williamson was carted off the field on a stretcher.
It was the famous Green Bay Power Sweep, and he just got hammered in there, knocked unconscious, and the Packers are all shown in the NFL films version of the game on the sideline laughing.
Hey, is that the hammer?
That's a hammer on that stretcher.
So Hank Stram didn't have any taunters on his team.
Also, if you miss this, the uh European Union has uh as reminded member states, member nations, that there is an anti-noise restriction now in all uh European Union countries, and that they're gonna enforce it.
And I asked the question then does this include Al-Qaeda bombs?
They're gonna go after Al-Qaeda bombers for creating all this noise.
Can you just see all these mullahs and the Mohammeds and the Aliyak bars sitting around fretting now that they can't set off their bombs anymore because of the anti-noise pollution that the tough EU is ready to enforce?
And then there was this for the Los Angeles Times.
List of missing in London is as diverse as London itself.
A story which I am holding here in my formerly Nicotine-stained fingers, literally celebrating the diversity of the victims.
They may be dead, they may be missing, but boy, it shows that London is a great city because it's diverse.
Those bombs didn't discriminate against anybody.
Anybody that was there.
Sex, color, sexual orientation, religion doesn't matter, race.
Those bombs kill.
LA Time.
Finding the good in the bad.
So all you leftists out in Southern California go embrace each other, drive to the friendly commune to pick up your sunflower seeds today, and embrace each other because the missing in London are a diverse group.
And about that, we can be ecstatic.
Audio soundbite time.
Christopher Dodd had his lunch handed to him yesterday on the Fox News channel by Kansas Senator Pat Roberts.
We have three bites.
The question here from uh Britt Hume, the guest host yesterday said, Senator Dodd, what about the guy sitting on the bus, getting on the bus like a guy just did in London uh uh the other day?
Well, as I say, you're not going to stop this entirely.
But if your question is, how can you do more to make people feel more secure?
We're not doing enough and leaving it up to local people.
This is an international problem.
As we said, after the Madrid bombing, Al-Qaeda indicated that transit systems are going to be a target.
Now, Miss Townsend mentioned that.
She's right.
We should have responded to that a year and a half ago.
Uh, we did.
It's called the Patriot Act, and there hasn't been such a bombing here.
The Brits do not have a Patriot Act.
Tony Blair tried for one.
But uh his uh the equivalent of his legislature, the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, House of Lords is the equivalent of the Supreme Court.
They don't have a constitution of Great Britain, but the House of Lords is the equivalent, whatever they say goes.
And they said, No, no, no, no Patriot Act.
Now the Brits are asking us for help investigating this incident.
Uh it happened in Madrid, Senator, it happened in London.
It didn't happen here.
And it hasn't happened here since 9-11.
The next question uh well, are you more worried about whether we're being too mean to the prisoners down at Gitmo, or are you more worried about the intelligence that we're getting from them?
Both.
You've got to get the intelligence, clearly.
But we're a nation of laws.
And you know, we're about to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials.
There were those who wanted to summarily execute the defendants.
Other vast differences between the end of World War II and this.
But nonetheless, uh, we we stood up and said, no, we're gonna we're gonna provide a rule of law here.
That helps us internationally.
Build the kind of cooperation we ought to be having.
It isn't just our European allies.
We've got to get cooperation all over the globe if we're gonna win this battle against these terrorists.
We're not gonna do it if we end up isolating and antagonizing major portions of the world that don't want to help us.
Absolutely absurd.
He is asking the people that can't stop themselves from getting blown up to help us.
We can't do what we need to do around the world because we can't get the Spanish and the Brits and the Germans and the French to go along with.
They are quaking in their boots.
Ten percent of the French population is Muslim.
The Brits have an open border policy, and it is a hotbed for militant Islamists to meet and greet and foment hatred.
And there's no patriot act there, as I said.
So in the meantime, just what Carl Rov said.
We get attacked, and what do people like Chris Dodd want to do?
Hand out indictments, get together with a bunch of people that can't even protect themselves, and have therapy sessions.
At this point, it was time for Pat Roberts to get in on things, and he said this.
Now, let me just say, they have a Muslim menu down there of 113 dishes.
So they're being fed very, very properly.
I saw them playing soccer, I saw them playing ping pong, I saw them playing uh what was the other one?
I think it was volleyball.
There are some who are not really cooperating.
We strictly observe with reverence all of the prayer calls five times a day, 20 minutes.
And in regards to the health care, my word, they have better health care than many of my small communities in Kansas.
This is interesting.
The fine points of the details of all this we know.
The larger point is now Senator Dodd joins the chorus of those on the left who seem to have more sympathy for people who would do us harm while they're being treated royally, if you ask me, then he has sympathy for his own citizens, his own troops.
You got you what you talk to any member of our armed forces in Iraq who hears this kind of sound bite from Chris Dodd or Dick Durbin or whatever, and ask them how it affects them.
Ask them what their reaction to it is.
Prisoners are being better fed than the U.S. military is fed.
They're being better educated.
They can practice religion.
We can't even do that in public here in this country.
Can't take the Bible anywhere, can't practice your religion, but boy down there, prisoners, whatever they want to do, they're allowed to do it.
It's uh and it it's just amazing how the Democrats continue to misread the public on this and not understand the simple element, even after the London blast.
We are at war.
Even after the London blast, somehow it's our fault that we are not working with our allies.
We can only do so much according to their laws, Senator, and if they're not going to have laws such as we have at the Patriot Act that's going to allow suspected terrorists to be investigated, then what in the world can they do?
If they don't have a law that lets them act against terrorists before the terrorists act, as we now have with the Patriot Act, what can we do to help them?
The only thing we can do is ask the House of Lords to start interpreting our laws as theirs, like our Supreme Court is interpreting their laws as ours.
It's just absurd, the whole thing.
I can understand this if we're still happening in the vacuum of nothing happening in this country since 9-11.
We've had Madrid.
We had London last week, and somehow it still all comes back to it's our fault.
Here is Eric in Roanoke, Virginia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Good afternoon, Rush.
How are you today?
I'm fine, sir.
Thank you.
Well, I'm thinking that the terrorists are trying to use slide of bomb and misdirection to distract us from their ultimate goal of giving us the Mexican colonoscopy.
Well, I think they're gonna keep our our our uh uh tension over there, and they know that our borders unprotected, and they're gonna come and hit us up to up through where uh uh it that isn't gonna work.
I mean, we're our attention's not diverted from the United States to Great Britain.
We're not we haven't stopped.
I mean, our threat level elevation went up.
Uh especially on the subways and uh and this sort of thing.
I I don't I I think you don't need to be too smart by half out there.
I mean, you're you're treating the Al-Qaeda like the Democrats.
The Democrats have Hillary moving to the right to fool us into thinking the party is not liberal.
Or they have Hillary moving to the right because that will make Howard Dean uh uh look even more radical and Hillary look normal.
I hear all these various theories that go around, and and uh sometimes we attach too much intelligence to our enemies, too much brain power.
They're just who they are.
They'll attack when they think we least expect it, which is why they're not going to attack any time soon.
They're not gonna attack us within a day or a week of of London.
Everybody's on guard.
Uh Brandon, Toronto, next up you are.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush, Megadito is from the People's Republic of Canada.
Thank you, sir.
Nice to have you with us, yeah.
It's basically a country otherwise known as an apartment above a really good party.
Anyways, I was uh hearing you talk about the uh the squee the Supreme Court uh quagmire and uh sort of caliber counterbalanced against the Iraq stuff.
Um it just seems as though the the Supreme Court and the behavior of the liberals is is much akin to the um insurgents in Iraq.
I mean, uh they're really sort of at their last breath, and they send their uh DNC stormtroopers like uh Dean or Boxter or Kennedy or uh Ashley Wilkes or Kerry into the media, and basically what they say is uh dead on arrival.
I mean, they're pr they're basically suicide bombers in themselves.
Well, in the sense that they're making their last stand, I think there is an analogy.
I got I got some interesting email last week after an analogy I was drawing to the uh to the terrorists.
This was again with the call, the liberal, a very nice liberal guy who wanted to know really.
I mean, uh okay, let's say we wipe out every terrorist today.
We still got young terrorists three and four, and those not yet born are gonna be educated.
How do we deal with them?
And I launched into an explanation of Iraq and what the policy in Iraq is really all about about establishing a free nation.
We trust free people, uh a free people, uh free nation does not want to live in tyranny or under the thumb of a dictator.
They don't make war against their neighbors, and they don't raise their kids to hate.
And when I started talking about how modern terrorists are formed, these little kids are born, predominantly young males are born in these in these these 14th century enclaves, uh, Saudi Arabia and Iran, and they're inculcated with a bunch of BS.
They're not educated about uh anything but the 14th century hatred for the West.
Uh and I got so many emails after I went through this, you know, Russia sounds like the modern liberals and the control they have over our public school system.
He said, look at the look at the inexplicable hatred that you hear from the left aimed at George W. Bush.
Or conservatives.
Now, don't come, I'm not calling the people in the left terrorists and murderers or anything of the sort, don't misunderstand, but just in in terms of, you know, when when we sit here and try to understand, not what liberals think, but you understand that, but the hatred, the raw emotional hatred.
Go to any Democrat website.
Go to moveon.org, the Democrat underground, listen to Barbara Boxer, listen to these people speak with unmitigated hatred.
No emotional control whatsoever.
Harry Reed calling Bush a loser and this sort of stuff.
And I know why.
They don't think he's legitimate.
He didn't win in 2000.
The Supreme Court selected him, didn't win in 2004.
They screwed with the voting machines in Ohio.
They have all these reasons to convince themselves that they have been screwed of their rightful uh place at the position and seat of power.
They cannot, they cannot accept the fact that they are losing elections because the people in this country are voting for their opponents and against them.
They just can't accept it.
They look at the American people and say, what's wrong with them, these stupid idiots?
And that's what elitists do.
The people who think they're smarter and brighter than everybody look down on uh on the the hoy polloi.
Uh and it it's it's you know, all that's understandable, but the hatred, the the raw emotional seething rage that uh that they have is that's what's inexplicable.
That's what a lot of people don't understand.
And so it was that analogy that people say, you know, it sounds like what they're trying to do with their own kids, raise them to hate conservatives, Republicans, or whatever for some of these crazy look comparing Bush to Hitler.
Uh uh, which has become a you know a popular oh, do you know I got blamed for this the other day?
I got there was some some little podunk town newspaper, and I somebody saw it and said it to me.
And I was going through the email yesterday because I had time to do literally nothing or whatever I wanted to do, which was I haven't even shaved in two days, folks.
And I I have to tell you, it was just liberating.
But anyway, not shaving, just just whatever I wanted to do, whenever or not, that was good, fine and okay.
But anyway, this this uh this little podunk town newspaper column said that the reason the libs call Bush Hitler is because I created the term feminazi.
So I'm the one that popularized the Nazi term and the current political lexicon, and that opened the floodgates.
I just wanted to pass that on to you.
No matter what is going on, no matter what they are doing, it always comes back somehow blaming us or me.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
I want to grab a quick call here before we have to uh I got one other story I want to do uh after that.
See if I can squeeze them both in here.
Kathy in Naperville, Illinois, you're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Really enjoy your show.
Thank you.
I've been listening ever since my father turned me on to the pro you and your program about seven years ago.
I appreciate it.
I learned a lot.
Thank you.
Um I have a need some help with some liberal friends who really alarmed me when they um told me that they automatically assumed that it was the conservatives on the Supreme Court that voted in favor of big business taking that property.
Here's exactly what you need to do.
And I've run into this from so many just rank and file Democrats who are not the kook liberals that are running the party right now, and they they don't like the kook left that's taken over their party, but they still think they're under this misguided notion that the Democrats are for the little guy and the Republicans are for corporate America.
What you need to tell them is it's time to get rid of these old saws that have survived here after years and years and years and are no longer in reality or reality-based.
The fact of the matter is it's the conservatives in the country and on the court who decried this ruling.
It was the conservatives who were making comments negatively disp disposed toward corporate interests, if you will.
Uh it was the libs on this on this court that gave us kilo, and and here's why.
You know, people think that the the Democrats are for the little guy.
The Democrats are for big government.
That's how they think they help the little guy.
They're not for the little guy, they're for big government because that liberals have and need government as the as the means to uh implement their power.
If they don't control government, you know, that's why they're in such bad sorts now.
So they turn control over to a local government to tell the little guy his property doesn't count because it's not as valuable as it would be if owned by a corporate developer.
It's easy to explain this to them.
Whether they'll believe you, that's a whole other proposition and I I'm not going to give you odds on it.
Back after this.
Well that's it folks.
If you happen to be driving around half-baked Moon Bay, remember you're surrounded by a bunch of liberals that tried to ban homework once because not everybody has a decent enough home in which to do it.
And we will see tomorrow.
Adios.
