Here's a Reuters story.
How about this?
UN envoys fear truce may unravel.
Really?
What shocking news, ladies and gentlemen?
UN envoys fear that the truce may unravel.
I don't think that was ever a truce.
It's just a temporary lull in the fighting.
Spoke about useful idiots a moment ago, and I normally don't do what I'm about to do.
I normally don't take a column from a small metro paper and highlight it.
But in this case, I must share this with you.
It came out yesterday in the St. Petersburg Times.
It's by Robin Blumner, the Times prospective columnist.
She is a regular columnist there.
And the headline of her piece is, U.S. Could Use More Girly Men.
It's about the war on terror.
And I'm sharing this with you and analyzing it, pointing out flaws in it, within the context of useful idiots, as described by the, what are you laughing at, Dawn?
Oh, you upset I picked on a woman?
Okay.
I'm not picking on anybody here.
I just, this one was handy.
I don't know how many of you people watch Deadwood, but apparently Ms. Blumner does.
Deadwood is one of my favorite programs.
Set in a South Dakota gold mining camp in the 1870s.
It grittily explores the way human beings organize themselves when consigned to a lawless territory that attracts miscreants, varmins, and vultures.
It's also a television show.
A recent episode had an especially insightful moment when all the leaders of the camp were called to an important meeting without an invitation proffered to the female owner of the camp's only bank.
Alma Garrett could have all the money in the world, but because she has two X chromosomes, she wasn't about to have a voice in camp affairs.
The writers were right.
Testosterone-laden Deadwood is not a welcome place for women.
When the law is determined by the number of gunslingers on your side, women do not flourish.
But neither do men.
Certainly not men of learning or ability.
Which is why Deadwood, as its name suggests, is doomed.
And I mention this because I've been feeling lately that the world has suddenly gone all male, deadwood male, to be exact.
And this is not a good sign for civilization.
Ms. Blumner, you have it exactly wrong.
The feminization of our culture has led us to the impasse we find ourselves at now without the will to break enemies and protect the country.
But let me continue.
Although I consider myself a feminist, I'm not the man-hating kind.
Men have clearly been at the forefront of nearly all the great advances in science, medicine, and humanist thought.
We understand the physical forces of the world thanks to Isaac Newton and the natural ones thanks to Charles Darwin.
There wouldn't have been an enlightenment without John Locke or Voltaire, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela remind us that compassion and a taste for social justice are found in both sexes.
Thank you, Ms. Blumner.
I also believe that men and women are more similar than they are different.
Hmm.
No comment necessary.
Still, those who would glorify violence and the law of the streets are thought of as masculine for a reason.
Dirty Harry never said, let's talk about it.
Exactly, Ms. Blumner.
You've just praised Dirty Harry, although I think it's an attempt to be critical.
Anyway, fighting terrorism has steeped us in a social psychology that is palpably different from our 50-year battle with the Soviets.
There's something more aggressively mono-amano about fighting Islamic extremists, and that difference has been exploited by our leaders to justify knocking down the rules of civilization, such as the Geneva Conventions, as being too effect.
The claim is that we must respond to the terrorist lack of humanity by throwing out our own standards.
The result is a vicious cycle of ever-deepening depravity.
She did.
What do you mean, who suggested that?
Who suggested we throw away our own humanity?
Nobody did.
Nobody suggested we throw away our own humanity.
We haven't.
I don't know what you're beefing about in there.
Well, Snerdley, she's a woman for crying out.
Just hang on here and I will get to analyze.
Snerdley's all frustrated.
He doesn't think she knows what she's talking about.
She doesn't.
But that doesn't matter.
For now, just hang in there.
Yet this dirty street fighting paradigm has fit perfectly with George Bush's swaggering cowboy approach to geopolitics.
Bush likes his enemies in black hats and hiding in the brush.
For Bush, justice gets meted out when the good guys take matters into their own hands and don't wait for lawyers with fancy words like due process.
International Affairs Professor Gary Birch of the University of Georgia, also director of the Center for International Trade and Security, puts it forth rightly.
The Bush administration has relied on hard power, militarism, rather than diplomacy, soft power, and it has been very costly.
It's reshaping the view that the rest of the world has of the United States as a responsible power.
Almost nothing could be more damaging to our future prosperity or security.
A Deadwood society will never foster positive social change or human advancement.
Its focus on force will evoke more violence.
Its contempt for intellectuals will silence reason.
And if we continue to inch down this road, our fate will be just as bleak as that of the residents of that muddy street in the grimy town in the Black Hills of South Dakota, known as Deadwood.
The reason I share this with you folks is not just the useful idiot analogy here, but it pretty much sums up liberal foreign policy.
And we see it as an abject failure.
You know, the idea that being able to tap into a violent streak makes somebody destructive is the flaw here.
Without men who used violence to protect their family against violent men who did so for selfish reasons, there'd be no advancement.
Liberalism will never understand the need for violence in society.
It's the reason this country exists.
Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force, including defending yourself when you are attacked.
Has this woman ever heard of 9-11 or the 93 World Trade Center bombing or any of the other acts of terrorism by this worldwide enemy?
And look at who she compares us to.
She seems blissfully unaware that the men that we are fighting are the very people that keep their own women illiterate, disempowered, pregnant, covered in cloth, their faces not allowed to be seen.
Maybe all they need is a great big hug and a nice diplomatic conversation and the world would get all sunshiny.
But I wouldn't be placing any large bets on that.
Take a look at what's happened for the last 50 years between the Israelis and their neighbors.
This is just as ignorant as anything I've seen.
It is blissfully unaware of the realities of life cast inside a male-female rubric and blaming some kind of macho-ism cowboy behavior for the problems the United States is having in the world.
I guess that we should just lay down our arms and close the prisons and welcome these people in for a conversation, maybe have some coffee or whatever they drink.
But this is the exact kind of thinking to which I was referring when I shared with you the definitions of useful idiots.
In this case, blissfully naive and focused on a lens here that has no basis in reality in terms of what the conflict we're involved in is really all about.
And it's plus, if you want, it's a chickification of the news, which is happening more and more throughout the American so-called drive-by media structure.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
We'll continue in just a moment.
Stay with us.
You see a New York Times story yesterday.
A headline says it all.
IRS enlists help in collecting delinquent taxes.
Within two weeks, the IRS will turn over data on 12,500 taxpayers, each of whom owes $25,000 or less in back taxes to three collection agencies.
Larger debtors will continue to be pursued by IRS officers.
It's an initiative of the Bush administration.
So they're figuring out that the private sector is more efficient than the public sector, than the government.
Evidence keeps piling up.
And the scientists were wrong again.
And here's an old wives' tale about to be blown up.
The widely cited estimate that one in three Vietnam veterans suffered post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their service may be too high, researchers are reporting.
In a detailed reanalysis of a 1988 U.S. government study, researchers found a figure is probably closer to 20%, with about 9% of vets still showing PTSD symptoms a dozen years after the war ended.
The new figures published in the journal Science come years after critics began charging the 88 estimates had to be inflated.
One argument was that with only 15% of troops in Vietnam serving in combat roles, it was improbable that more than 30% would develop PTSD.
Obviously, political agenda in all of this, ladies and gentlemen, advanced by leftist scientists.
This is an example of how history eventually will get it right.
It takes time, and some of the history of today will not be written correctly, even during our lifetimes.
Just have to trust that that will happen.
All right.
John Kerry was on this week with George Stephanopoulos yesterday.
And Stephanopoulos, we have three soundbites here.
Stephanopoulos says, you told the Detroit News that if you were president, the war wouldn't have happened.
How would you have prevented it?
I believe the president's policy in Iraq is a disaster of catastrophic proportions.
It has set us back in the region.
It set the peace process back.
It has unleashed an unbelievable course of events, all of which we're paying the price for today.
And I know that I would have handled the diplomacy and the relationship with a group of nations completely differently in a way that would have leveraged the United States, not diminished it.
You know, I just hate losers who can't face the fact they lost and get out of the way.
I just hate it.
These losers that keep popping.
Have I would have done it my way?
Well, if I would have done this, I could have done that.
Your way is on display in Lebanon, Mr. Kerry.
Your way has been on display with the Iranians and disarming them with their nukes, with your very good buddies, the French and the Europeans.
Your way is on display.
Your way fails.
But he thinks the force of his personality, because they would have liked him.
He's a useful idiot too, folks.
A classic, shining example.
Next question.
Senator Lieberman said that your policy is going to strengthen the terrorists.
Are you concerned that his independent candidacy, him out there making the Republican case going into the midterms, is going to hurt Democrats across the country?
I'm concerned that he is making a Republican case, and he is uttering almost the same words as Vice President Cheney, and I think it's inappropriate.
Ned Lamont has been courageous, and he has stood up, and the voters of Connecticut, they're not Dean Democrats, they're not Kerry Democrats, they're not Lamont Democrats, they're Democrats.
They're Chris Dodd Democrats.
They're Democrats who for years supported Joe Lieberman.
And the fact is, Joe Lieberman is out of step with the people of Connecticut.
Well, the polls don't say so.
What appears to be out of step with the state of Connecticut is the fringe wing of the Democratic Party.
But this is amazing.
This guy's their vice presidential nominee six years ago.
They throw him under the bus.
They're Democrats and liberals first, folks.
They'll throw anybody overboard.
And now to compare him to Cheney, to say that he's Cheney.
May I draw you an analogy or a little comparison?
Let's say that John McCain made one of his famous TV appearances and just picked one.
There are many from which to choose.
I know they're going to strip Joe of his committee duties.
They're going to strip him of all power if he wins.
And they're upset because if he wins as an independent, that's not a Democrat seat.
And that's one of the, they hope to take over the Senate.
They're concerned about that.
But they're also, this is payback time.
He's supposed to get out of the way, go away and die.
Become a lobbyist, do something.
He's supposed to go away and die.
He's got no friends or very few in the Democrat Party.
But go back and imagine McCain, one of his numerous appearances on television.
Anyone, take your pick, many to choose from, in which he rips the Bush administration, rips this.
And I compare that to the way Lieberman is being treated.
Joe Lieberman goes out, speaks out against his party.
The press and other Democrats just line up and try to destroy him.
Imagine if the Republicans tried to destroy McCain or any other maverick like Hagel or Lindsey Graham the way the Democrats are trying to destroy Lieberman.
Can you imagine what the drive-by media would do?
But here they just stand by and let Lieberman be destroyed.
They're just content to let it happen.
And if this were happening the other way around, it would be headlines for a week.
And you'd be reading profiles of these hate-filled, war-mongering, conservative Republicans who don't have the guts to stand up and have somebody in their party that disagrees with them.
The intolerance of the Republican Party, the myth that the Republican Party is a big tent, when in fact the story of intolerance and political assassination is what the story of the Democratic Party here, Bob Casey, governor of Pennsylvania, you don't toe the line.
These people throw you overboard and under the bus at the same time.
And nobody in the drive-by media will defend you.
One more, Stephanopoulos says new poll out by the Pew Research Center shows that a majority of Americans concerned that a Democrat majority in Congress would weaken anti-terrorism efforts.
Are you concerned that the focus on this program is going to hurt your party in the midterms?
We set up a secret court, George.
We have an ability to be able to have judicial oversight.
The fact is the president has overstepped that authority again and again in Guantanamo with respect to this.
And those efforts hurt us in building the kind of consensus you need to fight the war on terror.
America is less safe today, George, less safe today than we ought to be.
And the 9-11 Commission just gave a failing grade in port security, airport security, chemical plant security, in rail security to this administration.
That's not making us safer.
I'm sorry, folks, for I realize how difficult it is to listen to this.
This is a whining loser, Mr. Global Test.
Mr. Flip-Flop, I voted for it before I voted against it.
Sitting on the sidelines with all the answers.
Here's a guy that proposes a resolution to get us out of a rock, and 13 people vote for it in the Senate.
This is a guy that's just clearly an embarrassment and now is a joke.
But it allows me to segue to this story in the Washington Times by Donald Lambrough.
You heard Stephanopoulos say a new poll out by the Pew Research Center shows a majority of Americans concerned that a Democrat majority in Congress would weaken the anti-terrorism efforts.
You know, that did.
You know where that was reported?
That was reported in the Washington Post story on Friday, which was headlined, Republicans losing support of security moms.
And we dug deep into the story, and the story is all about how the Democrats are actually faring much worse with the American people on security, but for some reason, the Republicans are just not picking up on it.
They're not gaining any ground from it.
And so that allows the story to be written, Republicans losing security moms.
Democrats aren't gaining it.
Democrats do worse on a security question than Republicans.
And that's the point of Lambrough's story.
Other pollsters, he writes, are finding that no matter how negative voters are about the Republicans who control both houses of Congress, less than a majority think the Democrats would do a better job of governing.
Moreover, many voters who say they'll vote for a Democrat in November also say their vote is not different or definite.
And in the meantime, despite the emphasis that TV and newspaper polls place on the so-called generic congressional vote, a Newsweek poll last week found that very little knowledge went into these responses.
Most Americans aren't paying attention to politics yet.
68% of registered voters say they have only given the November elections a little or no attention, Newsweek said.
Besides, likely voters is the best poll.
The point is, all these polls you're seeing about Democrats taking over, don't believe them, folks.
It's all lies.
It's just hope and dreams.
And it's made up of people answering poll questions who are not even informed or engaged in what they're talking about yet.
It's all absurd.
As usual, ladies and gentlemen, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Let's go to Bill in Oxford, Alabama.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Rush, it's an honor.
I'm calling about the Deadwood article.
Let me say first, I love women.
My mother is a woman.
But this let's talk tactic is something they only use on men.
If you see women fighting, it's the most vicious cutthroat thing I've ever seen on the face of the earth.
Really?
Where do you go to see that?
Well, just, you know, inner office type things.
If a bunch of women work in an office, they're more vicious to each other than men are, in my opinion.
Well, but you don't mean physically.
No, not physically.
I mean, you know, just.
You mean like if there's a sale on somewhere, like at Bergdorf-Goodman or something.
You don't want to get between two women trying to get the same item on sale.
Is that what you mean?
Well, that.
My wife worked in the nursing field.
My ex-wife worked in the nursing field for a long time.
And she would come home just so exasperated that women are just so cutthroat to each other.
Well, you know, I've long noticed this.
One of the first things I noticed, and men don't notice this, but I, as an observer of life, have noticed this.
You're walking down the street, and across the street is a woman in a very short skirt or something.
So you stare and you look at that.
If you'd stop staring at the woman wearing the mini skirt and look at the other women on your side of the street looking at her, you would see abject hatred.
How dare she wear that?
Who does she think she is to get away with wearing that?
So I sort of know, I sort of know what you mean.
But this babe's point, this is Robin Blumner, by the way, in the St. Petersburg Times.
Her point is about, it's all based on a TV show.
What she misses about Deadwood, she says that we need more girly men, and she says that dead men is testosterone laden.
The problem with her analogy here is two things.
Deadwood is all about an out-of-control little camp trying to become law and orderly.
It's in the process of putting this together.
It's not in its finished form on this program.
It's a work in progress.
The second thing, if she really wants to find a male-dominated society, take a look at the guys that we are fighting.
If you want to go find female oppression, take a look at the guys we're fighting.
It's just, it's mind-boggling to read this stuff.
The ability to look and not see reality is just, I can't relate to it.
Now, whether women are vicious to each other or not, fine, but bin Laden's not a woman.
And by the way, there's no difference in this babe than John Kerry.
No difference in this babe and the Brett girl.
What's his name?
John Edwards.
I mean, this babe's right out of central casting.
She is a classic illustration of where liberals are today on foreign policy.
If we just sit down and talk to these guys, the world is replete with attempts to talk to people, but it is silly to continue with this.
But as to women fighting like hell, we'll talk about that another time because, well, we just will.
Barbara in Slydell, Louisiana.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
I'm glad you.
I'm trying to believe it.
Thank you.
I'm so excited.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you made it through.
Well, I've been listening to you since the second day you were on the air in Bakersfield, California.
And thank you for being there every day.
But I wanted to talk about this Robin Blumner article because I was thinking about it, and I think that liberalism is a complete denial of reality.
That's all it is.
And if you take it to its logical extension, communism, pretending people want to live like that, you see how bought into it they are.
They are.
Well, here's, look, here's, I think there's any number of ways to describe liberals, alternative reality, and they're all accurate.
They're all accurate.
As to listen to this passage from Ms. Blumner's piece that was yesterday in the newspaper, I mentioned this because I've been feeling lately that the world has suddenly gone all male, deadwood male, to be exact.
And this is not a good sign for civilization.
Now, who is it that's attempting, if there is an all-male, quote-unquote, society out there, who is it?
It's al-Qaeda.
It's militant Islam.
It is militant Islam fighting terror or engaging in terrorist acts.
What is the one country trying to stop this renegade society of total male dominance, the United States?
And yet, what does she write about?
She writes about the United States being too much like Deadwood.
Bush is too much like the lawless people of Deadwood.
Doesn't care what anybody says he can't do, just going to go ahead and do it.
It's mind-boggling.
So you can come up with whatever term you want to try to explain it, but I don't think it's explicable.
Well, it's almost like they have created a neverland, so they don't have to grow up.
They can solve the problems in their minds.
It relates to what you always say, and that they've created this alternate universe, and they keep believing it, and they create new believers through it.
And I know that the leaders of it, they know better, and they're in it for political gain.
But there are a lot of people who are just interested in lying to themselves.
And I'm wondering why that is.
Why is that?
Why do they lie to themselves?
Yeah, why do they want to go live life in a lie?
Well, it's more than outreach.
Well, if you're painting a picture that is sweetness and light and all that, I mean, a lot of people don't want to face reality.
A lot of people go through life doing whatever they can to avoid reality.
It's too hard.
It requires challenges.
It requires acceptance.
So you sit and dream of something else.
You sit and conjure up what might be, and then you imagine yourself in charge making it happen because you want it to happen, because you can imagine it.
You think it's possible.
You have to throw in the fact that this woman is an admitted feminist, too, and I will guarantee you that that has made more women irrational than even God did.
Rosemary in Superior, Wisconsin, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Maharashi, what a honor.
I've come to you before to answer these great questions that you've answered for me, and nobody seems to know the answer, so here goes.
I need your help.
I've been asking myself, Kerry, do you think John Kerry is more dangerous now denying worldwide terrorism, which they created and overlooked?
That's why we're at this juncture now.
I think all liberals are dangerous whenever.
They're not more dangerous or less dangerous.
They're a little kookier and funnier when they're out of power.
When they're in power is when they're at their most dangerous because they can implement the things that they believe.
But as far as Kerry's concerned, he's just a whining spoiled Brett loser.
And he's campaigning.
He's campaigning.
And so you have to put what he says through the prism of an election year and trying to appeal to the base of the Democratic Party.
Well, how far will he go?
You know how far he went with Vietnam when he met with Ho Chi Minh representatives.
I'm wondering if they still have Kerry's picture still hanging up on the wall at the library.
I mean, how far is this guy going to go?
In the case of Kerry, I mean, I'm an amateur analyst at this.
And if you want to play the game, let's pretend that Kerry is president.
I do believe that John Kerry thinks that he's the smartest guy in the world.
And I do think he thinks that the force of his personality could turn Osama bin Laden into a peace-loving American in two or three meetings.
I really think that he believes that, and I think this is part of the arrogance and the elitism of these people who think that the rest of the world hates us simply because of George W. Bush or for whatever temporary reason right now.
This is why they're ultimately dangerous.
They do believe they have the power and the ability to make all of the enemies of the world love us and like us.
And they will go out of their way to make it happen, including signing all kinds of treaties with them that these people have violated.
Look at the way they dealt with the Soviet Union.
They're untrustworthy in terms of defending the country and its national security.
It's just too treacherous out there now to put these people in any kind of power.
Gives them power when we just talk.
You know what happens?
They just get more emboldened, more powerful.
But even Teresa, I don't think, thinks he has a chance.
She probably says, oh, you know, go take out the garbage or whatever.
To him?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
They'd have staff to do that.
But Kerry doesn't.
In fact, the carries don't have garbage.
You've got to understand how to, there's no such thing as garbage in the carry.
That's for you and me.
We people, we have garbage.
They don't garbage.
They don't ever flush their toilets.
It's not necessary.
Toilets are for the guests.
You have to understand the mindset here.
I mean, I am told, I am told that at dinner parties that Kerry and Teresa throw in their Beacon Hill mansion, that Kerry will sit there and talk about himself in third person, about what he would have done and what he said during the campaign.
And John Kerry said woman, and John Kerry said, and the guests just sit there kind of mind-boggled, saying, by God, it's a good thing this guy wasn't elected.
It just hadn't gotten over it, folks.
Just literally has not gotten over what I cannot believe.
If you compare transcripts, school records, tests, and so forth, Bush smokes all these guys on intellect.
He smoked them on the SAT tests.
He smoked them on grades, especially Gore.
Gore is one of the most pathetic scorers and tests and grades that America has produced as an elected official.
And yet the Democrats continue to talk about how brilliant and wise and erudite they are and how it's always...
John Fund writes about this today.
In fact, it's always the Republicans that are stupid.
Bush, Reagan, they're always a bunch of idiots.
If you look at George W. Bush's academic record, he smokes all these guys.
Bush's problem is that he doesn't articulate what he thinks as well as people would like him to.
And that, remember, I've always told you the way you speak is going to tell people whether you're smart or not, whether it's right or not.
I always advise people, learn to read and write this language the best you can.
Express yourself as exactly you want to, and you'll convince people that you're smart, even if you're not, like Kerry.
I mean, these guys are not the brains that they think they are.
Anyway, I got to take a break here a little long.
We'll be back and continue in just a minute.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rushland boss some of the finest bumper music known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
800-282-2882.
Well, the Democrats have done it.
This is going to be somewhat interesting.
Democrats have shaken up their early primaries.
Eager to give African Americans and Hispanics a bigger voice in picking a presidential nominee.
Democrats on Saturday adopted a caucus and primary schedule that puts new states on the coveted early voting calendar.
The new calendar would add Nevada with a large and growing Hispanic population and South Carolina with its large African-American population to the two largely white states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
Iowa would hold precinct caucuses on January 14th of 2008, followed by the new Nevada cauckey January 19th.
New Hampshire's traditional first primary would be January 22nd, and South Carolina would be a week later on January 29th.
All other states would be prohibited from starting their voting until a week later on February 5th.
Alexis Herman, former labor secretary, Clinton administration, who led the party's efforts in this overhaul, said if this works, the candidates will go to all the states.
Now, I remember that the New Hampshire Democrats say, hey, screw this.
We'll do our primary in January.
In December, we'll do our primary in December.
So to prevent an earlier New Hampshire vote, the Democratic National Committee also approved new rules that would punish any presidential candidate who campaigned in a renegade state.
How are they going to do that?
Several potential candidates have said, screw it.
We're still going to campaign in New Hampshire.
They're more interested in winning the media coverage and momentum that comes with a victory there than they are in going out there to Nevada and South Carolina.
But what this means is when you get right down to this, every Democratic presidential wannabe has put their fate in the hands of blacks and Hispanics.
Well, not the total fate, but I mean, this is, it's going to be interesting.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when New Hampshire doesn't comply and doesn't go along with us because I know they won't.
Matt in Gainesville, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB Network Hive.
Rush, hi, thanks for taking my call.
It's a great honor.
Megan News from a former Missouri and now living in Florida.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, you know, time to talk.
Sometimes you just gotta stop.
You can't talk your way out of everything.
An example, I think, of a religious war that got settled not just through talking, but by action is what happened over in Ireland, where the people there now are some of the most prosperous in the world.
And it didn't happen just by sitting around talking about it.
What are your thoughts?
You don't even have to cite that.
You know, the Muslims began a crusade years and years and years ago.
The Catholic Church didn't do anything about it for 100 years.
The Catholic Church got in gear and beat it back, but it took a long, long time.
All the time they're trying to talk to them, all the while they're trying to negotiate, all the while they're trying to come to a mutual understanding.
It's dangerous because these are people that generally want to wipe us out, and there's a significant portion of our population that does not realize that.
Look, let me try another analogy with you.
And let's say that we're going to negotiate with pick a terrorist group, Al-Qaeda.
What's Al-Qaeda's sworn mission?
See, you've got to have courage to admit this, though.
Al-Qaeda's sworn mission is to kill us.
That is the mission of militant Islam.
It's to wipe out infidels.
And we are the worst of all because we are Christian and we are Western.
Okay, now we're going to negotiate with these people.
Their starting point is, you're dead.
We're not stopping till you're dead.
What's our counter?
Do we say, okay, will you let us live for 50 years?
No, we're going to wipe you out in 30.
Okay, will you only take an arm from each of us for the first 50 years?
Nope.
We're going to kill you all as soon as we can.
No, no, no, no.
That's not fair.
We're negotiating with you.
Will you just take, will you settle for two arms and let us live?
Nope.
Our mission is to kill you, infidel.
Okay, how about an arm and a leg and let us live for 50 years?
No.
We are not compromising.
Okay, how about if you kill half of us, the Republicans?
If we give you the Republicans, will you?
No, we are going to kill all of you.
My point is, where do you negotiate with this?
How in the world to negotiate with people whose objective is to kill you, Ms. Blumner?
I'm sorry.
I know it's a hard, cold reality we all have to face here, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, how about if you only kill, how about if we let you have the Republicans and Mel Gibson?
No, we are going to kill every one of you, and you will be first.
That's how John Kerry went in.
How do you negotiate with that, folks?
On what threshold or basis is there a reason for any kind of settlement?
I know what you're saying.
Come on, Rush.
The terrorists really don't mean it when they say they're going to kill us all or want to kill us all.
Okay, you want to take that chance?
Elect a liberal.
