Time Text
I know, I know.
And to respond to a very important email, a series of emails there.
Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
The award-winning thrill-packed, ever exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds Rush Limbaugh program, the one and only EIB network.
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Do not try this at home, ladies and gentlemen.
The great, make it look easy, and so anybody thinks they can do it until they try it.
Anyway, phone number, we're going to get to a lot of your calls this hour because I know you've been patiently waiting.
800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
A special welcome to all of those of you watching on the Ditto Candidate, Rush Limbaud.com.
By the way, uh have you heard Saddam and his uh seven co-defendants are on a hunger strike.
Who cares?
So what?
Why do we care about this?
I mean, where's Jack Kavork and when you need him?
I mean, at this point in time, Saddam could probably use Kavorkin.
Kavorkin has renounced his uh his past deeds.
I want to go back to the audio sound bites.
You know, and folks, I'm starting to get a I must tell you, I shouldn't, I shouldn't admit this, but I got I got it.
Just a single email, a single email is eating away at me uh the two days ago, and I I normally this this stuff doesn't penetrate my coarse outer surface.
This guy says, it seems like all you're talking about is the liberals.
There's gotta be other stuff going on.
Is there anything else you can talk about?
Liberals and liberals, and I don't think the guy was a liberal.
Of course, it could be, you know, liberals have been known to part with money and join my website just to send me scathing, seething, insulting notes.
This one was not scathing, seething, or insulting.
And yet I'm sensitive to this.
I don't want the program sound like a broken record every day, but for crying out loud, the drive-by media is giving these people more airtime and more time.
They're just everybody's got an investment here in the Democrats winning back power, in the Democrats sabotaging victory over this particular enemy in Iraq.
Uh we can't, you cannot digest any news without what the Democrats are doing on Iraq being at the top and the lead of virtually everything.
And uh I feel compelled to react to it and respond to it.
You know, I I do not get up every day and go through websites and newspapers and say, aha, something I can attack.
And oh, good, like an attack that.
I'm not an attack artist.
I get up, I go through the newspaper, and I look at institutions, traditions, uh, events that are attacking being attacked, uh, that I thought that I hold dear that I think are crucially important to the future of the country, and I feel the need to defend them.
In this case, the president, in this case, the policy in Iraq or what have you.
Uh, New York Times today lead story about how the Democrats are all worried John Kerry's gonna take him down the ash heap of history with his date certain withdrawal resolution uh from Iraq.
So we have some audio sound bites, and I'm gonna play these for you.
Um uh and I could have done this in the first hour, but I've spaced it out because I'm sensitive to the email that I got.
We have some sound bites from Hardball last night, Nora O'Donnell, Donald.
Um, you know, I used to think about Nora when I looked at her as if her bathwater can't possibly stink.
But I have changed my opinion uh on this uh wide-eyed stares from the other side of the Yes there.
Bathwater has to stink now.
She probably takes showers anyway.
Anyway, she's talking to Bob Schrum, who has never engineered a Democrat to victory.
Why win sent it?
He's never engineered a Democrat presidential victory, and yet he's held out as the guru.
And I think he's even a consultant now at PMS uh NBC.
Anyway, he's on there last night.
Nor O'Donnell said, This group over there claims to be associated with Al-Qaeda, kidnapped two of our U.S. soldiers, brutally mutilated them to the fact that apparently they're unrecognizable.
Ultimately have to be identified by DNA.
If that's going on in Iraq, how can we leave there?
It is possible to protect the troops without protecting the lie that sent them there.
And let me tell you, there's a rhetoric of redemption here that's very dangerous that says because this terrible thing happened at the hands of the Al-Qaeda forces that our invasion of Iraq brought into Iraq, that somehow or other that we should continue going down the road of a failed policy.
You know where that failed policy will end?
If we keep doing what Bush wants, it will end up with the U.S. airlifting its last forces out of the green zone under fire and with many, many more casualties.
See, now what you need to take away from this is that Bob Schrum represents here the Democrat fantasy.
The Democrat fantasy is Vietnam.
Helicopters taking our kids out of the green zone?
Allah, the helicopters getting our last troops out of the roof of whatever it was over there, the Hanoi, whatever it was, for crying out loud, making it perfectly clear.
They want Iraq to become an American embarrassment.
They want America to retreat and defeat.
They say they don't want that, but setting a date certain is exactly going to guarantee this.
Rhetoric of a failed policy.
How can you have a failed policy?
How can you even call this a failed policy?
I'm going to tell you whose morale is low here.
Their morale is low.
The Democrats, they're disoriented, their battle plans are failing, they're making life-threatening mistakes, they have no ready replacements.
They say we're losing.
They say we can't win.
They say we have to cut and run.
They say we must cut and run, but we can't call it cut and run because it's not cutting and running.
We've got to call it something else.
They suggest we'll win international respect by going back on our word by cutting and running, and that's their positive spin.
And they say we have no plan.
And we have a bad plan.
There's no progress.
America has grown weary, and now it is a failed policy.
Can I offer you again a reality check?
The Iraqi people formed a temporary government.
They voted to approve a temporary government.
They drafted a constitution.
They voted to approve that constitution.
They voted on a permanent government.
They named a president, they named a prime minister, key ministers, and they did all of that in less time than it's taking New York to rebuild the Twin Towers.
Make that less time than it's taking New York to start building the World Trade Trade Center, rebuilding it.
If you follow the reasoning of people like Bob Schrum and Kerry and Mertha and Pelosi and Dean and Boxer and Carl Levin, uh that's a failed policy.
That is the white flag of surrender.
You have to ask yourself, why do they want to get out of there?
What is the point of getting out now when all of we killed Zirkawi, uh things are turning around, there's a new momentum over there.
They must not care what happens to Iraq after we leave.
They might not care 300,000 more people die over a period of time.
The place becomes uh a new locale for Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Hey, by the way, don't get me wrong here, folks.
We have to rebuild the Twin Towers or the Freedom Towers or whatever the warring tribes in New York decide to name it.
But look at if you if you apply the logic of the left to this part of the war on Islamo fascism.
Let's say if New York City and New York State and the Port Authority in New Jersey, and four widows from New Brunswick, if they can't form a unity plan, if they can't come up a way to rebuild the World Trade Center, if they can't come up with a unified plan to rebuild at ground zero with whatever memorials they want to do and whatever office towers they want to put how long has it been the Iraqis have formed a government and it's functioning before we can figure out a way to get unified on how to rebuild the World Trade Center.
Maybe we should just cut and run from that project.
Maybe we say it's hopeless.
It's a failed policy.
We can't get these warring factions in New York and New Jersey together to come up with a plan to rebuild the World Trade Center.
Let's give up.
Let's just cut and run from the project.
Let's redeploy.
Let's take the planters and take them somewhere so they don't have to be confronted with the site itself as they come up with a plan to rebuild it.
Maybe we should take the people who are going to redesign and rebuild the World Trade Center and redeploy them.
Murphy had a good idea to Okinawa.
Send them out to Okinawa and the construction crews as well.
I'm not, I'm I'm sorry to make light of the national symbol here of the World Trade Center, but just take their their ridiculous ideas and apply it to anything anywhere.
Well, it's cutting around.
it's not working.
Failed policy.
I can cite any number of you want to talk the failed policy of the war on uh poverty.
How about the failed policy of the great society?
Of course, we're not supposed to examine the results of those failures.
No, we're supposed to examine the good intentions of the people that came up with the idea.
Supposed to understand they had the best of intentions, and they had huge hearts.
They're doing everything they could to help the little people.
They destroyed many little people's lives by busting up their families and creating uh no need for husbands and fathers, the federal government and the welfare checks assume that responsibility or role.
Uh it's just amazing.
Failed policy.
How about failed policy?
Bob Shrum, you ought to never get another job directing a Democrat's presidential campaign.
Talk about failed policy.
Back in just a moment.
You got Slim Whitman standing by in there.
Now we're not on it now.
I just want to make sure it's standing by a peace update coming.
Go back to the grooveyard of forgotten favorites in our archives for one of my all-time favorite update themes, Slim Whitman Yotling.
Uh Una Paloma Blanca, LaPort, Indiana.
This is Rob.
I'm glad you waited.
I appreciate your patience and hello.
He's uh flew the coop, but we have others.
Dale in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
What was he gonna talk?
Happy carry I'm okay, never mind.
Dale, Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Great to have you with us.
How are you doing?
Fine.
Uh if Clinton would have been in office.
These two dead soldiers would be our ticket to getting out of the war right now.
Um as related to Mogadisha.
Yeah, well, the these pictures in Mogadisha were on television.
The Somalia uh pictures were all over the world for everybody to see.
Uh I actually think there was a racial component there too.
I don't think Clinton had the guts to actually go full.
By the way, we won that battle in Somalia that uh resulted in in some army rangers being killed and dragged naked through the streets of Mogadishu.
Uh I I'll never I'll never uh uh concede the notion that there was a racial component in Somalia.
Clinton just did not want the evil big bad U.S. in there conducting full-fledged war against people of color, uh warlords and uh backwards uh people that just pull out of there, and that's what gave bin a laden the notion we uh didn't have the guts to take casualties.
In this case uh I have been waiting.
I have been waiting for Democrats to react to the death of these two soldiers and the news about how they died.
They were taken prisoner, they were beheaded, uh desecrated and slaughtered.
Uh there aren't any pictures of it, and so uh uh that's I I don't think the Democrats in this case have cited this as an example yet.
I hope they do, because the truth is that in the uh uniform military personnel community, i.e.
the troops, uniform military personnel communities lib speak.
The uh the troops are fit to be tied over this.
This will re I'm hearing from them.
Countless emails from military friends that I have made over the years, some in Iraq, and they are fit to be tied.
If they were not fully motivated before, this is the kind of thing that does it.
Should point out too that Anthony Cortisman, who is at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says that this is actually an indication to him that uh Al Qaeda is weakened, that they have to do something public uh oriented with uh around torture in order to get media coverage uh in order to create an image that they're still big and tough guys, then this notion that this new replacement for Zarkawi personally conducted the murders.
Uh he thinks it's all spin designed to affect uh proper coverage in Al Qaeda's eyes from the U.S. drive-by media.
But so far the Democrats have not reacted to these two deaths.
We've got a Mr. President, it's time to go.
It's just two deaths too many.
Um they've obviously got somebody that's that's that's reigning them in on this uh uh it some months ago they might have made the mistake of using this as an example of the failed policy.
Scott Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Rosh Mangadiddo.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, you've mentioned in the past how little turnover the EIB network has, and I'm wondering uh what qualifications are required for potential EID employees, uh especially now that uh Alderm is moving on.
Yeah, uh Aldermont, our uh backup broadcast engineer just told me yesterday I was uh uh uh I know he called me Tuesday.
No, Monday.
Yeah, this is Wednesday.
So after the show on Monday, Aldermont, the backup broadcast engineer comes up, by the way, I'm leaving.
I don't know, really when tomorrow.
My last day I'm sitting in for Mamon tomorrow and I've got to go.
He told me he was leaving to go to uh New Orleans, go back to law school at Loyola and uh, you know, put his finger in the dikes down there in the levees to help rebuilding New Orleans and families all down there.
And I said, okay, we're sorry to see you go, but since you didn't give me any notice, you don't get a going-away party.
Uh now you want to know uh honest, honest to God, I'll be Timot Aldemont.
Aldemont was great.
I didn't find out yesterday he's a liberal.
I didn't know all the how many years Aldermont been with us as a backup broadcast engineer.
Three years.
Three years.
I didn't even know the guy was a liberal.
I didn't assume he was a conservative.
I just didn't get you know, but I mentioned this to you because you do not have to pass a rigorous ideological test to work on this program.
We just assume anybody who'd want to be here is one of us.
But Aldermont didn't necessarily want to be here.
Scott, this is he's a great example of being in the right place at the right time.
Mamon got sick one day.
And who else is there?
Um and so that's how Aldermont got the job.
Uh, and uh he served as our backup broadcast engineer.
As far as qualities go, I don't know.
This, you know, it's a it's a well, I can't I shouldn't actually give away these interview techniques that might be in violation of federal regulations.
For example, you know, one of the first things I ask, uh well, I I I don't actually ask much.
I late them come in and tell me why they want to work here.
And I sit around, I wait for certain things that I call disqualifiers, Scott.
And the first disqualifier is the minute the person asks me about vacation days, sick days, family leave days, and time off, he's cooked.
He'll never know it.
I'll never say the interview is over, scram get out, but in my mind, nothing said after that is relevant.
The interview is over.
Uh not because we don't have those days, we have them uh quite generously.
But I'm interested in people who want to accomplish something and who love the job and who would rather be here than kicking around somewhere else doing nothing, being lazy or supposedly on vacation.
Uh that's my attitude about it.
I also need a lot of self-starters and people that um uh you know do not need constant everyday feedback.
They're confident enough in their job, uh, and they know when they've done it right, and they know when they've done it wrong, and they don't have to be called in for meetings when they've screwed up, and they don't have to be called in for praise when they've done it right because that's what's expected.
So, other than that, we have uh educational requirements, you have to have at least a PhD.
Uh now yeah, to make up for the fact that I don't have a college degree.
I want as many college degreed people around me as possible.
Now, I uh uh what what kind of qualification do you think you have?
And what are you what do you want to do?
Are you are you an engineer?
What do you want to do?
Well, yeah, I have a mechanical engineering degree, and uh I'm looking at making a career transition.
So I was just kind of curious that uh you talk about how little turnover you have, and now that there might be an opening, I thought I'd call and see what uh you were looking for.
Uh we do have an opening, right?
Or is there an Aldemont running around here that I don't know about that's gonna be stuffed in here next time you have to go move furniture or something?
Okay, we actually I I've I'm just told we don't have a backup yet, so Mamon's vacation schedule is temporarily suspended, as is his sick days.
Um what's she saying?
Uh oh yeah, people our human resources person.
Stop this!
Stop this!
People are gonna start writing in they don't know where.
You know, send it to EIB building uh uh not don't send it to me, send it to EIB building, uh Midtown Manhattan, New York.
Attention, uh Josie.
Uh and uh some mechanical what's mechanical engineering is as you mean as opposed to civil engineering?
Uh correct, just uh cars and buildings and windows and things that move not necessarily stand still.
Yeah.
Well, I'm curious.
We don't build cars or buildings or clean windows.
What is it uh about the EIB building that's attractive to you then as a as a mechanical engineer?
You have 15 seconds.
Well, I'm really disinterested in politics and conservative conservatism and uh all the stuff that you do, plus it seems like fun, so not so much looking to be an engineer, but looking for a job.
Aha!
Looking for doesn't have to be an engineer.
All right, I well, I I appreciate that.
I can't conduct an interview seriously on the radio here, but uh hang on, it will give you an address in which to send in an application.
Hang on just a minute, folks, and we'll be right back.
As usual, talent on lawn from God.
Uh half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Rush Limbo America's real anchor man.
At 800-282-2882, Captain Edit Captain Quarters uh the blog reports on a new release from CENTCOM confirming that the U.S. military has captured a second high-value target three days after killing Sheikh Mansoor.
We continue to wipe these guys out over there two days after the death of Mansur Suleiman Mansur Khalifi al-Masha Hadani.
See, this is why, ladies and gentlemen, you can't do this at home, even though I make it look so let me do this again.
First time I've read this.
I read the headline off the printer, a computer, I printed it out.
So here's the story.
Two days after the death of Mansoor Suleiman Mansur Khalifi al-Mashadani and the capture of two American servicemen, later brutally butchered.
American forces captured an as yet unidentified Al Qaeda leader and three of his lieutenants.
Uh this confirms the report yesterday came through at the same time as the story about Sheikh Mansour, Suleiman Mansoor Khalifi al-Mashadani.
Uh CENTCOM's press release has information on several missions conducted against Al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgents.
Uh we continue to wipe these guys out uh in a successful roundup, so to speak.
Time once again to go back to the archives, ladies and gentlemen.
It's a peace update.
Slim Whitman from our archives, a peace update.
We added the bombs.
Not actually in a slim song.
Come on, Slim, riv it up here.
Our old buddy Slim Whitman, one of the all-time top sellers in Britain and Walmart.
That's Una Paloma Blanca, our official peace update theme.
And just to illustrate this now, the uh the peace update.
I first uh created the peace update when I worked in Sacramento.
I guess it was 1985, and a bunch of left-wing uh wackos were having the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament.
They're starting someplace in California.
They're going all across the country, and the objective was to get to the I don't know, the energy department, some some building in Washington where they were all going to at once have a die-in.
They're going to stage a die-in uh to replicate what would happen at that very moment of a nuclear detonation.
Uh and they're gonna have red paint with blood all over the steps of the building and so forth.
We track them all across the country of their Great Peace March.
And shortly after that, we had harmonic convergence.
A bunch of left-wing peacnik wackos uh went to the top of Mount Shasta and other high points to collectively uh what do you call those things?
Mantras.
Uh uh uh uh have multiple mantras at the same time, hoping to send vibes of peace uh to Reagan and Gorbachev.
Uh and then we had Cindy Sheehan.
See, the the the the left has uh a playbook.
They have templates, and they keep going back to these things.
It's there's nothing new in what they do.
Uh and it the the latest reincarnation is uh the World Peace Forum.
A World Peace Forum coming up in Vancouver, Canada, which starts Friday and will run through June 28th.
Now, went to their website, and here are the things.
Now, I guess the basic description of the World Peace Forum from Vancouver, Canada that'll run Friday through Friday.
Publish a World Peace Forum statement, building a culture of peace and sustainability for the global community, outlining what individuals, communities, cities, groups, and nations can do locally to create a culture of peace and sustainability.
The mission of the forum is to create a global culture of peace.
This is how we propose to implement our mission.
Create an ongoing legacy of biannual world peace forums in cities around the world to redefine and refine, promote, and expand the culture of peace and sustainability.
What is sustainability?
No, I'm a well.
Yes.
How can you be against peace?
How can you be how can you be against sustainability?
This is like the environmentalists do it.
How can you be against clean water?
How can you be against clean air?
Other items from the agenda here.
Um encourage communities and nations to plan for peace.
Uh, for example, by inaugurating departments of peace at the city, regional, and national levels of government.
Well, Kucinich had his Department of Peace item.
We already have a department of peace.
It's called the Pentagon.
It's called the U.S. military.
Uh make war abhorrent and make peace popular and the restoration and protection of our global ecosystems a priority.
I'm just telling you, this, and this is getting, this is going to get drive-by media coverage, even though it's in Vancouver, Canada.
And it's the same old playbook, the same template, probably the same old aged players.
Um I just I wanted to point this out to you folks because nothing changes with these people.
The libs are who they are, the left is who they are, and they have the and you'll have people showing up at this peace movement that are animal rights wackos, environmentalist wackos, they're nothing but a bunch of anti-capitalist leftists.
I'll tell you who they are.
I'll be I'll be very upfront and very honest.
It's sort of a sad and pathetic thing.
They are losers.
They are life's losers.
They have meaningless lives.
They assess their own lives as meaningless, and they want to have meaning in their lives.
They're like everybody, they want to matter.
They want to do something of significance.
They want to make a difference.
And as losers and people living meaningless lives, they have a lot of time to be afraid.
And so they're afraid and they end up with these cockamami definitions of peace.
Depends on who you're talking to to get the definition of peace.
For example, what do you think the definition of peace is to Al Qaeda?
What do you think the definition of peace is to Kim Il-sung, the little potbellied dog eating tinhorn dictator of North Korea?
What do you think the definition of peace was to Leonard Brezhnev or Stalin or uh um Lenin?
What do you think the definition of peace is to Robert Mugabe?
What do you think the definition of peace is to Fidel Castro?
What do you think the definition of peace is to um Hugo Chavez?
Versus what do you think the difference definition of peace is to say somebody like John Kennedy or George W. Bush or Franklin Delano Roosevelt or Winston Churchill?
And I will guarantee you that if you apply yourself intellectually, and you should be able to since you're all students at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, you ought to be readily able to answer those questions.
Definition of peace is far different to a leftist and a totalitarian and a dictator than it is to a Western civilized man or woman of freedom and capitalism.
Far different definition.
So when these little leftists come out here and they start throwing around things, we must publish a World Peace Forum statement.
We must build a culture of peace and sustainability.
We must create an ongoing legacy of biannual World Peace Forum.
Who do you think these people blame, by the way, for the lack of peace in the world today?
Who do you think Carl Levin blames for the lack of peace?
Who do you think Ted Kennedy blames for the lack of peace?
Who do you think uh John Carey, who served in Vietnam, uh blames for the lack of peace?
Uh Who do you blame for the lack of peace?
Who do I blame for the lack of?
And I'll guarantee you you get two totally different answers.
Well, the uh well, yeah, I think we have the League of Nations.
Okay, HR, everybody wants to get in the act that make war abhorrent, didn't we outlaw war at the League of Nations?
We might have, but what good did it do?
If you have people like Yasser Arafat and Fidel Castor or his emissaries or Hamas or Al-Qaeda, or in the old days of Nazis, if you bring them before a world body, like the United Nations or the League of Nations say we're outlawing war, you know what they'll do?
They'll vote for it.
They'll lead the way.
They'll vote for it, knowing that the saps, like these clowns in the peace movement, will be a bunch of Neville Chamberlain's go, oh, ah!
And they'll start arming orgasms.
We did it!
We did it, we got the world together, we got peace, we can disarm.
Castro said, yes.
Hitler said, yes.
Al Qaeda would say yes.
And the idiots of the peace movement would disarm.
And as soon as the disarmament had occurred out from underneath the rocks and the sand dunes would come the arms that Al-Qaeda and Hitler and whoever never got rid of, because they lie.
Or any thug, dictatorship, communist or what have you.
I guarantee you, these um these well-intentioned losers in life, pathetically lost souls, and it is sad.
You hate to see any human life wasted.
I guarantee you they blame the United States for the lack of peace.
Blame the United States military for the focus of evil in the modern world.
The American Democrat Party blames the United States.
You can listen to their rhetoric about Iraq.
Bush created the terrorists.
We didn't need to go to Iraq, Bush, a warmonger.
He lied about it.
Fake evidence, weapons of mass destruction, fake intelligence, everybody.
Never mind that Bill Clinton was saying the same thing in 98.
Shh.
Never mind that old Democrats agreed with Clinton in 98.
Shh.
Never mind that all Democrats agreed with Bush at first in 2002.
Shh.
No, no, no.
If we're supposed to forget all that, Bush lied.
Bush is the focus of evil in the modern world.
Any proscription come up with, or that is come up with by these leftist peace knock peacenics and peace freaks, will target all of their blame, finger pointing in efforts at the one nation on earth that has brought peace to more people.
Peace and prosperity to more people on the face of the earth than any other nation in the history of civilization.
Back in a moment.
Okay, we're back.
El Rushbo's serving humanity, EIB network.
Now listen to this.
We had the story today all day.
San Andreas fault may explode at any moment in Los Angeles.
Earthquake of incalculable proportions.
We have Kentucky fried chicken going to kill you.
Starbucks is going to kill you.
People are walking around with crisis syndrome.
And I think we need to create the drive-by media is attempting to fill us with crisis and doom and gloom on a daily basis.
There is I just found this a clip here from the Houston Environmental News Update, which lists announcements of interest to environmental wackos.
Now, since we're talking about wackos and the peace movement, why stop there?
How to cope emotionally with ecological devastation?
I'm not kidding you.
These people live in a different world.
They believe all of this junk science and the hoax about global warming because they want to.
They believe that the world's going to come to an end, that everything's going to hell in a handbasket, that the United States is evil and we're causing all of this destruction.
Listen to this.
If you went to this website, this is what you would read.
At the Houston Climate Protection Alliance's meeting on Sunday, June 18th, we're going to discuss, wait a minute.
It just happened.
We will discuss the emotional toll of dealing with such issues as global warming, pollution, overpopulation, eco footprinting, and energy supply versus demand.
Nan Hildreth, a co-founder of the group, asks, have you ever cried, raged, or carried a cold ball of fear in your gut over what you see happening to our biosphere?
A good question, folks.
How many of you run around out there with a with a cold ball of fear in your gut?
Asking yourself, Looking skyward, what are we doing to the biosphere?
I don't know about you, but I ask myself this numerous times a day.
She says these feelings are often reasonable.
But if they continue too long, they're bad for you, and they can impair your effectiveness as an activist.
The meeting will feature Tim Mock and others who will discuss and share ways to improve emotional coping skills with global warming.
Meeting is from 1 to 3 p.m. at the first Unitarian Universal Church.
What a bunch.
You know, and who's to blame for this?
Guys like Al Gore.
Guys like Al Gordon Democrats who are putting forth this myth, liberals, Democrats, that the U.S. is causing global warming and destroying the planet.
There's some poor saps so out of it.
Believe it, and they're they're running around with emotional balls of fear in their gut, looking skyward and asking questions about the biosphere.
They could be productive Americans, but they have been somehow influenced to live in a total cocoon of abject fear by a bunch of charlatans in the science community and Al Gore types who are throwing this stuff out for purposely to scare people like this, voting for Democrats or what have you.
Carl and Corpus Christie, glad that you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I'm talking uh calling about your earlier point about Iraq and how I feel that we've been losing the information war since about 9-11.
No matter how well our men do on the ground, if we fail in the war of symbols and information, you're not going to win politically.
And we've had a consistently failed information campaign since about Operation Anakona got done in Afghanistan.
All right.
So your theory is even if we kick butt and win big, if there's no political component to it that nobody will know we've won.
Well, well, war's a political act anyway.
The point is if we don't get the symbols matched up with our actions, everybody who wants to be our enemy and who we give free PR to, like Osama, I mean, we've made him a bigger guy than he ever really was.
Well, but who wait?
Who's doing that?
Our information campaign has painted him to be ten feet tall since 9-11, and he's not.
Wait, whose information campaign?
Ours.
The stuff that comes out of Washington.
Not to mention the media of all kinds of places.
The guy's been getting free PR for his own cause for three years now.
Likewise, people like Zakari and otherwise.
We're giving them too much credibility on our side.
I see what you mean, but I I think I think most of this derives uh from the drive-by media seeking to damage our ability to defeat this enemy.
I think they're sabotaging it along with the uh the Democrats.
They'll wreck the country if they have to to reacquire their power and then put it back together as they see it.
Or fix it later.
I have to run here, folks, sadly out of busy broadcast time.
All right, folks, I have to scram super secret meeting tonight, and I can tell you tomorrow what's going on on Friday.
I'll look forward to being back then.
It's always a sheer thrill and delight.
