Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hiya, folks, and welcome to the EIB Network and day 15 of the summer of recovery.
Day 15 of the summer of recovery.
The good news is you're only 120 days to the November elections.
Now, a lot of people have said, Rush, the NASA guy could not possibly have meant it.
He couldn't have meant it.
Why?
The NASA guy said it.
What is so hard to believe about the NASA guy meaning it?
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's El Rushball behind the Golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for, by the way, the largest free education institution known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
And remember, here at the Limbaugh Institute, there are no graduates.
There are no degrees.
The learning never stops.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Charles Bolden is the NASA guy.
I thought he was sound by number 20, Mike.
Grab this thing.
This last Wednesday on Al Jazeera in English's talk to Al Jazeera.
The host, Imran Garda, interviewed the NASA administrator Charles Bolden.
Now, keep in mind here, folks.
Oh, and wait till you hear what Obama said about Dependence Day on Sunday.
You think that I am wrong when I tell you his mission is return the nation's wealth to its quote-unquote rightful owners.
Stand by.
Now, remember what NASA has become under Obama.
No longer about space exploration.
We're going to ground the shuttle fleet.
We're going to lease space for astronaut flight on Russian spacecraft.
NASA has been told to focus on global warming.
And now we have the NASA administrator in Al Jazeera last Wednesday who said this.
Before I became the NASA administrator, he charged me with three things.
One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math.
He wanted me to expand our international relationships.
And third and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and math and engineering.
All right.
Now, a lot of people are saying to me, Russian, the guy really didn't mean it.
I mean, just out there, this is just a bunch of pap for the Al Jazeera audience.
Didn't really mean it.
Of course he meant it.
Of course he meant it.
And of course Obama said it.
There's no questioning.
Why would he say it if he didn't mean it?
He certainly meant it for the Muslim audience at Al Jazeera.
And by the way, would somebody show me any Nobel Prizes for math or science from the Muslim world?
I'm going to get a lot of trouble for this, but that's what we do here.
We make the complex understandable.
We deal with the truth.
Most of these claims about Muslim contributions to science and math are myths.
Even, folks, the so-called Arabic numbers were actually invented by the Hindus in 500 AD.
I looked this up this weekend.
It was even before there was such a thing as Islam.
The Hindus created so-called Arabic numerals.
And you can find this in Wikipedia if you want to believe it there.
Charles Bolden, NASA administrator.
He was asked, why are you here in the region?
Well, because NASA, I'm here to spread the, you know, Muslim outreach.
I mean, he meant it.
He said it.
He meant it.
He couldn't possibly have meant this.
He did mean it.
Here's Obama on Sunday in Washington, White House South Lawn.
We celebrate the principles that are timeless.
Tenets first declared by men of property and wealth, but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America.
Civil rights and voting rights, workers' rights and women's rights and the rights of every American.
That's Independence Day to Obama.
That's what independence means.
Let's run down the founders, men of wealth and property, who gave way and gave rise to.
I have never in my life listened to a president be so abstract and insincere and total lack of passion.
about this nation's creation, its founding, liberty, freedom, and independence.
To try to convert what happened, make it a bad thing.
Men of property, men of wealth, but it wasn't until Lincoln came along, who was, by the way, a Republican.
Wonder Lincoln came along, we got concerned about voters' rights, workers' rights, women's rights.
So when you hear people say, including me, Obama's agenda is to return the nation's wealth, quote unquote, to its quote, rightful, unquote, owners, you will know what I mean.
The daily caller today, lack of jobs, increasingly blamed on uncertainty created by Obama policies.
One word being mentioned by business leaders and economists more frequently when the conversation turns to why jobs are not returning more quickly, and the word is uncertainty.
Here is the CEO of Verizon, Ivan Seidenberg, in a speech in Washington late June, a big donor contributor to Obama.
By reaching into virtually every sector of economic life, government is injecting uncertainty into the marketplace and making it harder to raise capital and create new business.
I have figured out what's going on.
I'm going to make this understandable.
It's hard for people to get their arms around the fact that when I say Obama is destroying the private sector on purpose, people do not want to believe, no matter what they think of Obama now, they do not want to believe we've elected a president who has that as an objective.
Let me make it, let me give you an analogy here.
It might make it a little bit more, well, not palatable, but understandable.
Remember, Reagan, it is said of Reagan, I think it is true to a certain extent, Reagan decided to starve the welfare state by creating deficits and spending, therefore making it impossible for the Democrats to continue spending.
And it worked for a while, back when the Democrats cared about deficits and cared about spending.
But the Reagan effort was to starve the Democrats of their primary weapon.
Obama is attempting to starve the private sector of its primary weapon, which is job creation, which is wealth growth, creation of wealth, by transferring or taking so much of the private sector, putting it into the government sector.
And now these CEOs are starting to speak up.
This Verizon guy, Ivan Seidenberg, by reaching into virtually every sector of economic life, government is injecting uncertainty into the marketplace.
Although there are some things that are certain, and that is crippling tax increases are going to hit beginning January 1st.
Here's Robert Williams, the senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
The whole tax situation very much in flux, very uncertain, makes it hard to plan.
It's clear that firms are not yet hiring.
A lot of them are sitting on big bundles of cash, citing the examples of Google and Apple, both hoarding about $30 billion in cash instead of investing it or using it to expand.
Seidenberg of Verizon said he was troubled by Obama's agenda, so much so that he had reached a point where the negative effects of these policies are simply too significant to ignore.
Now, Seidenberg was a huge contributor to Obama, just as Jeff Immelt of General Electric was.
And Jeff Immelt, remember that private dinner in Rome last week, said that Obama and the American business community did not like one another and are not getting along with each other.
Imelt said the U.S. is a pathetic exporter, according to the Financial Times.
Seidenberg said he's troubled by Obama's agenda, so much so that he had reached a point where the negative effects of these policies are simply too significant to ignore.
Can I translate that for you?
Meaning, wait a minute, wait a minute.
This is so bad that anybody who really wanted to grow the economy would pull back on these policies instead of amplifying them and ratcheting them up.
What this guy is saying is what you've been hearing from the golden EIB microphone for 18 months, it's on purpose.
We can't ignore it anymore.
These policies, which are crippling the private sector and growth, are on purpose.
Seidenberg, not the last major business leader and Obama ally to turn on the president in recent days, and they quote Imelt.
This is, let's see, who's this?
Amity Schlayer.
She really had a column for the Wall Street Journal at one point, a great book, by the way, she wrote on the Depression and FDR.
We don't know what to expect from Washington.
That's essentially what Seidenberg is saying.
Her book, by the way, The Forgotten Man, argues that Roosevelt's punitive and unpredictable policies toward business prolonged rather than solve the Great Depression.
We also don't like that their law involves a lot of discretion.
It doesn't say, and the rules of bankruptcy are.
The financial law that they just passed basically sends the message: we've decided that they will take care of things.
The law gives them the discretion to do what they want when they want to do it without having it specifically spelled out.
So we in business do not know what the hell to do because we don't know if what we do is going to be considered something the administration's got to stop or penalize or tax.
We also are very much concerned about the economy as it's slowing down.
Even the politico says danger for Democrats is the economy slows.
Stimulus winding down right when Democrats need it most is a quote.
The stimulus hasn't done diddly squat, except the exact opposite of what it was intended to do, or at least they claimed what it was intended to do.
Democrats are divided on this because at some point they want job creation.
They want to do something more than just say they're for job creation.
They want to do something more than just pass legislation that's supposedly going to create jobs.
They actually want to see some jobs and they're not seeing them.
And the stimulus is not winding down at this time anyway.
Only 43% of the stimulus has been spent.
The stimulus is an Obama slush fund and it will be spent coming this fall for re-election efforts to Democrats and in 2011 for Obama re-election efforts.
It's a slush fund.
Only 43% of it has been spent, folks.
Now, I paid no attention to TV over the weekend.
Zilch Zero Nada.
I didn't watch.
In fact, I'm in withdrawal ever since lost in 24 ended.
There's nothing out there.
I can't wait for football season to start.
But I did get roped into watching The Bachelorette last night.
And folks, I'm going to tell you, it's the funniest show.
It's definitely scary if this show represents.
I mean, you know, I'm sitting there watching this show and I'm saying, I asked Catherine, what is the average IQ of the person watching this show who's really into it, who really, really thinks.
No, we watched it as a laugh thing, snurdly.
We watched it to laugh at it.
We watched it to cringe and we laughed and we cringe.
And I said, I'm trying to imagine people glued to their TVs who believe this, who think this is great programming, who want to be on this show.
And then I think, and they're voting?
Are they voting?
And I said, no, it's not on the DVR list.
No, it's not on the DVR.
In fact, it was not planned, just something that popped up.
A spur of the moment decision.
So I haven't had the TV on, so I come in here and Cookie has the Soundbite roster for me.
And let's go to Audio Soundbite 5.
Last Saturday, Fox News Channel, co-host Rick Fulbaum and Cal Thomas have this exchange about Michael Steele.
Rush Limbaugh hasn't really had a chance to weigh in on this yet.
He hasn't been on the radio, at least not to my knowledge, since this first became public.
What happens if Rush gets on the air on Tuesday or whenever he's back in the chair and he says Michael Steele's got to go?
They've had their back and forth before.
What do you think?
That's right.
Right, they did.
And Limbaugh took him on, and Michael had to apologize to Rush Limbaugh.
And there were all kinds of editorials in the Washington Post and other places, columns saying, you know, what is this?
And he's apologizing to a talk show host.
But it's a pattern.
And if the pattern says, look, everybody's entitled to one or two gaffes.
If it becomes a pattern and he becomes the story rather than the ideas and the issues and the objectives of the Republican Party, no person is worth keeping on for any reason who becomes a distraction.
And they went on to say here that Michael Steele's job hangs in the balance, is hanging by a thread depending on what I say today.
If Rush Limbaugh does go on the air this coming week and calls for him to go away, I imagine that sort of plays into the Democratic playbook.
I mean, there's been a lot of talk about Rush Limbaugh.
Democrats love to say that he's the head of the Republican Party.
That would certainly give them another opportunity to do that, wouldn't it?
Well, once again, we will see who is the true spokesperson of the Republican Party.
And whether or not it is Rush Limbaugh or it is those that had been elected, I think this will be a very telling sign.
And it'll also speak volumes to kind of what the message is going to be in 2010.
Who really does lead the Republican Party?
I think it will be fascinating to watch.
So here I am.
I'm watching The Bachelorette last night.
I'm unaware of any of this.
And I find out that the Washington political culture is waiting on me to decide the fate of Michael Steele.
And so, since it's up to me, I will have, I will have an opinion on this at some point during the program today.
I'm still undecided as to what my opinion ought to be, but apparently I hold the cards.
And I'm going to hold the hand close to my chest here if I figure out what to do.
Thumbs up or thumb down?
I feel like, you know, I feel like Marcus Aurelius, Julius Caesar with the Christians and the Lions in there at the Coliseum, up or down.
So I got to think about this now.
And I'll let people know what I decide as the program unfolds today.
Cynthia Tucker, ABC's this week, Sunday roundtable.
They discussed Michael Steele.
Jake Tapper said, Cynthia, and by the way, this woman is the editorial director of the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, and she has been for a long, long time.
Cynthia, you once called Michael Steele an affirmative action hire gone bad.
What is your take?
By the way, she can say this because she's African American.
Here's what she said.
Michael Steele is a self-aggrandizing gaffe-prone incompetent.
Who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black?
Of course, the irony is that he never would have been voted in as chairman of the Republican Party were he not black.
It is very ironic since the Republicans...
Take a second.
That's exactly the same thing you can say about Obama.
He wouldn't have been voted president if he weren't black.
Somebody asked me over the week.
Who I got to remember.
Somebody asked me over the weekend, why does somebody earn a lot of money, have a lot of money?
Because he's black.
It was Oprah.
No, it can't be.
Yes, it is.
There's a lot of guilt out there.
Let's just show we're not racist.
We'll make this person wealthy and big and famous and so forth.
The Chicago Sun-Times today has this story.
It's amazing.
They go, how did we get Kant?
How do we get fooled?
My God, we've elected an empty suit.
We elected somebody who had no experience, no idea what he was doing.
The empty suit costs $5,000.
I thought, my God, they finally woke up.
They're talking about Obama, but no, they're talking about Blago.
They're asking themselves in Chicago how they got conned by Blagoyevich.
And you read this, and I will share it with you as the program unfolds.
It could be written about Obama.
So Cynthia Tucker says, yeah, he wouldn't be hired by the GOP if he weren't black.
I got to take a brief time.
I'm a little long here.
If I don't pause here, we're going to go right through a commercial break.
We can't do that, folks.
Sit tight.
Don't go away.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchorman, America's truth detector, and a doctor of democracy.
Washington awaits my fatwa on Michael Steele.
Washington is paralyzed today until I issue my findings on this.
The first thing I have to say about Cynthia Tucker and Steele will only have the gig if he's black.
If Obama weren't black, he'd be a tour guide in Honolulu.
Or he'd be teaching Sololinsky constitutional law or lecturing on it in Chicago.
And if somebody's entitled to a couple of gaffes, why do we still have Senator Bite Me running around as Vice President Bite Me, who has a walking gaffe every time he opens his mouth and he's not even black?
So what's the Democrats' excuse for having Joe Bite Me around as vice president?
Now, to be serious about this, as best that we can make out here, all the outrage is over Steele saying that the war in Afghanistan was a, quote, war of Obama's choosing, not something the U.S. has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in, quote unquote.
Now, at the worst, he's half right.
The war in Afghanistan was the war Obama and the Democrats wanted to fight throughout the war in Iraq.
They wanted to lose in Iraq.
They wanted to get out of there and then go get bin Laden.
That would be the definition of success.
And Obama claimed to be totally gung-ho about that.
He claimed to object to the invasion of Iraq because it was a distraction from our true mission, which is the war in Afghanistan.
So, Steele, in my view, and this is part of my fatwa, Steele is at least half right, which puts him way up on Vice President Bite Me, who once again this weekend repeated his claim that Obama has won the war in Iraq when all Obama wanted to do was get out of Iraq and lose the war.
Still, you would think there's enough talent on display of the Republican Party could find somebody, stay on message.
But the dirty little secret is that the center of the Republican and/or/slash conservative universe is not at the Republican National Committee.
I still have not issued my fatwa.
I'm thinking about it.
Our nation's capital remains paralyzed while awaiting my fatwa on Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
Now, remember, folks, all of these liberals, all these media people, in their heart of hearts, they want the Republicans to fire Steele so they can run around out there and write about the Republicans firing a black guy.
The one thing that's happening here is there clearly is an effort to manipulate the Republicans, as there always is, into doing, quote unquote, the right thing morally and ethically.
And of course, the right thing as far as the Democrats are concerned is doing something about which the Democrats and the media can then write embarrassing things About the GOP.
That's what they wish to do: is Republicans fire a black guy.
Well, of course, nobody pays any attention to how the Democrat Party undermines black candidates.
Look at this poor guy in South Carolina.
They're trying to undermine this guy who won the primary there at 60% of the vote.
Carl McCall, the black gubernatorial candidate in New York, they told him to go pound sand.
They're trying to get David Patterson, the existing governor of New York, to get out of there.
The truth be known, it's the Democrats and the left who show absolutely no compassion to black candidates.
But suppose I were to say of Michael Steele something similar that Bill Clinton said at the memorial for Robert Sheets Byrd last week.
I don't know if you people caught this or not, but essentially Clinton said, Yeah, you know, Bobby, yeah, he was from those hollers in the hills out there, West Virginia.
And back in his young days, he did a couple things he shouldn't have done.
He knew it, but he had to get elected.
Yeah, he had to join the Klan to get elected.
So he cut the guy some slack.
That's right, Limbaugh.
You nail it every time you analyze me.
That's exactly right.
He had to do what he had to do.
West Virginia, everybody knows the Klan had a big beach head in there.
And if you want to get elected to something, you had to first join a Klan.
And we have to look the other way because he spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it.
No, he didn't, Mr. Preed.
He voted against every black Supreme Court nominee came down the pike.
So maybe we should forgive Michael Steele because he's young.
He's doing things here in his relative youth, just as Robert Byrd did in his.
I mean, Clinton and Obama told us so last week when Byrd was youthful, say between ages 28 and 51.
We were told to forgive Robert Byrd his cyclops position in the Klan.
That was a recruiter.
He founded a Klan chapter.
That's right, Limbaugh.
You ignore what I'm saying.
He had to do that because he had to get elected.
That's what West Virginia was when he was.
Okay, so we excuse it then.
At any rate, ladies and gentlemen, I'm still considering what to do here.
The one thing that I think must not happen is whatever that's done here, it ought not be done because Democrats demand it or because the media demands it.
Because frankly, the Republican National Committee is not the center of the universe when it comes to winning these elections in November.
The center of the universe is right here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It's not at the RNC.
The bottom line is it doesn't make any difference.
Here, back to the audio soundbites.
Saturday, Sunday, yesterday, and this morning, a montage of ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, a bunch of other news people reviewing.
They're obsessed with Steele and his long-ago insult of me, remember?
Chairman Steele has angered his GOP cohorts in the past.
For instance, when he called Rush Limbaugh incendiary, Rush Limbaugh incendiary and ugly.
He calls Rush Limbaugh an entertainer.
He has to apologize for that.
Steele has made a number of missteps criticizing Rush Limbaugh.
The fourth gaffe made, saying that his rhetoric is incendiary and it's ugly.
There was that insult, a Republican icon, Rush Limbaugh.
Yeah, so clearly the RNC head is simply a titular position.
I am the real grand poo-ba, as everybody recognized.
That's what all these soundbites are all about.
I mean, Republican icon, yes, that's true.
They go back and forth, depending on, you know, when they want to elevate me to these positions and when they don't.
It's clear that the center of the universe, when it comes to conservative Republican electoral politics, is right here.
All these audio soundbites prove it.
Steele's fate depends on me and my fatwa today.
Still thinking about it.
We will let you know.
Try this.
This is Drudge's lead item today.
The Transportation Security Administration is blocking certain websites from the federal agency's computers, including halting access by staffers to any internet pages that contain controversial opinions.
This according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.
The email was sent to all TSA employees from the Office of Information Technology on Friday afternoon.
It states that as of July 1st, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed inappropriate for government access.
Now, here are the five, and you tell me what big one is missing.
Here are the five.
Chat and messaging.
Can't go there.
Controversial opinion websites.
Can't go there.
Criminal activity websites.
Can't go there, which would mean the White House.
Extreme violence, including cartoon violence and gruesome content.
You can't go there.
And gaming.
TSA employees cannot visit gaming sites, sites that promote extreme violence or criminal activity, which is, I mean, how do you mean on certain days they can't access the whitehouse.gov website.
Controversial opinion.
None of these things are defined, by the way.
Or chatter message.
Now, what big category is not blocked?
Porn sites, exactly right.
The chief broadcast engineer Mike Mamone comes up with the answer in a split second.
Pornographic sites are not mentioned as being banned in the TSA memo.
The email does not specify how the Transportation Security Administration will determine if a website expresses a controversial opinion.
There is also no explanation as to why controversial opinions are being blocked, although the email stated that some of the restricted websites violate the employee responsibilities and conduct policy.
CBS News called them, asked for comment.
They didn't get it.
Now let's review some of the things that the leader of this regime, Barack Hussein Obama, has said.
Transportation Security Administration blocking certain websites from the agency's computers, including halting access by staffers to any internet pages that contain a controversial opinion.
Here's Obama's Michigan graduation commencement speech this spring.
Still, if you're someone who only reads the editorial page of the New York Times, try glancing at the page of the Wall Street Journal once in a while.
If you are a fan of Glenn Becker-Rush Limbaugh, try reading a few columns on the Huffington Post website.
It may make your blood boil.
Your mind may not often be changed, but the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship.
So the leader of the regime is urging college students, graduates, to visit all kinds of controversial opinion sites, and yet the Transportation Security Administration is requiring or is prohibiting any of its employees from visiting any sites where there are controversial opinions.
Here's Obama's Kalamazoo High School graduation commencement speech.
And I hope that wherever you go, you won't narrow the broad intellectual and social exposure you've had here at Kalamazoo Central.
Instead, seek to expand the exposure you've had here at Kalamazoo Central.
Don't just hang out with people who look like you or go to the same church you do or share your political views.
Broaden your circle to include people with different backgrounds and life experiences because that's how you'll end up learning what it's like to walk in somebody else's shoes.
So Obama's out telling young skulls full of mush at any institution of higher learning he can find.
Expose yourselves to all kinds of ideas, but his own employees at TSA are not permitted to access sites where there is controversial opinion.
Now, if you are a leftist, if you're a Democrat, if you're a liberal, controversial opinion is any opinion that differs from yours.
That's why I, El Rushball, am deemed controversial.
Yet the vast majority of people who listen to this program do not disagree with me.
I am not controversial to the vast majority of people who listen to me.
I am loved, adored.
Well, everybody wants to be me.
But the left thinks I'm controversial.
So I guess, given that Obama's a Democrat, and most of the people at TSA would fall under that banner as well, any website which posts opinions that do not agree with leftist or liberal or Democrat opinions are off limits now because they're deemed to be controversial.
Ladies and gentlemen, people, I've checked the email here.
Rush, you cannot drag this Michael Steele thing out the whole show.
Yes, I can.
It's my show, and I can do with it whatever I want.
I will say this, whatever may or may not happen to Michael Steele, Michael Steele is more qualified to be the editorial director at the Atlanta Journal Constitution than Cynthia Tucker is.
You talk about controversial opinions.
You talk about a full-fledged radical leftist extreme agenda disguised as a journalist.
That's Cynthia Tucker.
Michael Steele is not disguising himself as anything.
He is being who he is.
He may be gaffe-prone, but Tucker, like other leftists, are ideologically incapable of logic.
And as I say, if you're only allowed a couple of gaffes, somebody explained to me how Joe Bite me remains vice president.
Your guiding light, El Rushball, behind a golden EIB microphone.
Let's go grab some phone calls.
And we're going to start in Arlington, Virginia.
This is Brad.
Great to have you on the program.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, Rush.
How are you?
Very well.
Thank you, sir.
Just a quick comment, Rush.
You were talking about TSA and what they're not allowed to have access to.
I was in a TSA office at Reagan Airport last week, a couple of weeks ago.
It was in the video surveillance room, uniformed officers.
It's banked all the way around.
They've got a big screen to high-def TVs.
The center TV was reserved for a World Cup match.
But at least they weren't watching porn.
And I've gone there in the past, and they've watched, I've seen Dr. Phil and Oprah on also during the afternoon.
Wait a second.
You're talking here about Reagan National Airport in Washington.
You went in there to the video surveillance room.
You went in there.
You want to keep us all safe.
You went into the video surveillance room.
Uniformed officers were watching the World Cup, Oprah and Dr. Phil.
I can't tell you why I was there, but can I ask you a question, Rush?
Were they watching the doctors?
Dr. Phil's son is on that show.
No, it was World Cup soccer, something really important.
But can I ask you a question?
Yeah, what's your question?
Has anybody that was watching porn at the SEC during the financial debacle and meltdown, has any of them lost their jobs that you can think of?
Can you game one?
No, they have not.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Have a good day, Rush.
They have not.
Thanks very much out there, Brad.
Appreciate it.
It's Brandon Arlington.
On the TSA website, they spell out the civil rights that their employees have.
Any current or former TSA employee or applicant for employment who feel they have experienced unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in either their employment of the hiring practice or process may contact the Office of Civil Rights and Liberties to initiate the EEO complaint process in an attempt to resolve their complaints.
Current or former TSA employees or applicants may raise any of the legal bases listed below when initiating the EEO complaint process.
Current or former TSA employees may complain about race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, parental status, genetic information, retaliation.
An equal employment opportunity specialist will assist any person who wishes to file a complaint to understand the EEO process and to explain how to file a complaint to initiate the process.
And yet, despite all these freedoms and liberties spelled out on the TSA website, it seems that TSA employees are being denied their equal opportunity to view websites that other people can.
Except porn.
They can watch porn, but they can't go to gaming websites.
They can't go to controversial opinion websites.
Very strange, ladies and gentlemen.
Very, very strange.
Actually, it's not strange at all.
This is what totalitarian, authoritarian thugs do.
And this is Big Sis, Janet Napolitano, acting on orders from the top at the regime.
So while Obama's out there, and I'm not making these speeches up, but he made it.
He's out there telling young skulls full of mush, oh yeah, if you listen to Limbaugh, go read the Huffington and Puffington Post.
Expose yourself to all kinds of ideas, except if you work for me, then you can't.
You can only expose yourself to my ideas.
Kevin in Missoula, Montana.
Great to have you.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
Your opening comments on Michael Steele got me to think a little bit, and I have to say I have to agree with him.
This is a war of Obama's choosing.
Obama has chose how the rules of engagement will work over there.
He's chose how the military is going to operate, and he's also chosen a date when we're going to extract ourselves out of there.
So what we are getting over there is exactly what Obama is choosing for us.
All right.
Now, since you think that, why do you think so many people are upset with Steele?
And what do you think I ought to do about this?
Well, I think I'll leave that to the master.
Well, that's a very wise answer.
That's a very most people, you think I'm, you know, have a special privileged life.
You wouldn't believe.
