Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away and this is your undocumented anchorman sitting in.
I'll be here tomorrow.
Mark Davis in on Friday and then best of rush for Labor Day and Rush himself returns live on Tuesday.
And I always get sentimental.
I always get, I'm a sentimental kind of person.
I always get sentimental here because it's amazing if you're like a foreigner, you come to this country, you get off the boat at Ellis Island, you've got nothing, and you come here and you get to host America's number one radio show.
This is one of the jobs that Americans still would do.
Is that right, HR?
I mean, well, they had like Karl Rove was here doing it a couple of weeks ago.
I mean, it's amazing to me.
Karl Rove was guest hosting this show.
And like he was, for most of this century, he was like the third most powerful man in America.
And like, I'm not even the third most powerful man in Grafton County, New Hampshire, but I get to host this show.
It's amazing.
So you'll forgive me if I get a little sentimental and moist-eyed when I get my turn at the golden EIB microphone.
But, but, but, that doesn't change the fact that aside from getting an EIB guest hosting gig, most economic opportunity in this country now comes from government and proximity to government.
Have you been following this story of Eddie Bernice Johnson?
She's one of these people, she's been in, she's one the member of the lifetime legislative class.
She represents a district in Texas for 20 years.
Before that, she was in the Texan State Senate and in fact redrew the boundaries of the district that she subsequently ran for on that committee.
So that worked out pretty nicely for her.
So she got herself elected.
She gives out, disperses.
She's on the Congressional Black Caucus.
And they have these foundations, they have these scholarships they hand out to people.
College scholarships.
And basically, what has been happening since 2005 is that she hands out about a third of the scholarships to members of her family, her grandchildren, and the children of her aides.
For example, from 2005, 2009, she gave 23 scholarships to four of her relatives and two children of a top aide.
And last year, she gave roughly half the scholarship money to her two grandsons and to the children of this guy, Givens, who is her aide.
And she's now saying that, well, you know, if they'd said that this, you know, I wasn't supposed to give a third of the scholarships out to family members, obviously I wouldn't have done it.
But they, why didn't they, why didn't they spell that out?
Why didn't they spell that out in writing?
If it has to be spelled out, you know, this is Banana Republic stuff, by the way.
It is Banana Republic stuff.
This is I think HR is proposing that they should have had a sign.
That's right.
Warning, self-dealing, nepotism, and corruption approaching.
Last exit before self-incrimination.
That's right.
We could do with some signs.
They had that in Canada, actually.
They had a problem, a similar problem with this up in Canada in Ottawa, that ministers of the Crown were accepting bribes.
And so they passed a law saying that when somebody came in to see a Minister of the Crown, the first thing the Minister of the Crowd had to say was, well, as a Minister of the Crown, it would be illegal for me to accept a bribe.
And really, by the time you have to write that out and make the guy say it, it's by the way, actually, normally, like when I'm in a third world country, whenever a guy goes, like if I'm at a, you know, a police guy pulls me over in some banana republic and he goes, well, of course, it would be illegal for me to accept a bribe.
Then, of course, I just, that's when I just slip the $20 bills in the back of the passport or the driver's license as I handle it.
It just means you do it more discreetly.
But so, anyway, she's now complaining that she had no idea, no idea that she wasn't meant to give half the scholarships to close personal relatives.
Meanwhile, the chair of the Black Caucus Foundation is furious with this.
This is Donald Payne, Democrat of New Jersey.
Basically, he's now kicking Eddie Bernice Johnson under the bus, saying that this is outrageous that she's been handing out all these scholarships to her grandchildren.
In part, he's doing it because otherwise they'd be looking at this crazy foundation, which actually spends less on scholarships than on fundraising galas, golf outings, and trips that allow lobbyists to rub elbows with senior lawmakers in settings that skirt campaign finance laws.
All this stuff.
The other thing I find very odd is the Congressional Black Caucus now keeps complaining that why are they the ones getting investigated?
Because, like, Charlie Wrangell, he's being investigated because you're only meant to keep a vehicle in the house parking garage for six weeks without moving it down in Washington.
And he parked his Mercedes in one of the most highly coveted parking spaces in Washington in 2003 and put a tarp on it and left it there for six years.
And really, it's a shame.
It's a crying shame we can't do that with our legislators.
I mean, I would rather we just, instead of Charlie Wrangell's Mercedes being in the parking garage, sitting idle with a tarp over it for six years, I'd much rather we had Charlie Wrangell in the parking garage with the tarp over him, being idle for six years.
I think that would be an excellent solution.
This is the lifetime legislative class.
You remember that thing a couple of weeks ago?
Barney Frank and his partner and his partner.
They're on the ferry to Fire Island, to the gay haunt at Fire Island.
And he asks for the senior discount.
And they say, well, give us proof that you're a resident of New York State.
You don't get the senior discount unless you're a resident of New York State.
And he doesn't have it on him.
And that's what this place is like, by the way.
You talk about Arizona.
You need papers for everything in this lousy state of New York.
So I entirely support that.
Everybody has to show proof of this and proof of that in the state of New York.
So they ask him for he's now he's there on the ferry making a big fuss because because he's in public service.
And how often does it happen that a guy in public service has to put his hand in his pocket and actually get out a dollar bill and pay it himself, even when he's going to the gay haunt at Fire Island?
This is the lifetime legislative class, the emirs of incumbent that have driven this country, driven this country into the hole it's in.
I just, I don't, I want, I want citizen legislators.
I want people who've done something other than politics because we've got people now.
We've got non-doers in charge of this country.
We've got a Barack Obama who's just spent his entire adult life sitting around talking, sitting around talking, and that gives you a kind of superficial plausibility.
Believe me, I know as a guest host, I know.
Sitting around talking.
Who can't do that?
Look at all the guys.
If you just take the guys called Mark who just sit around talking on this show, anyone could do that.
But he takes Obama, we've got a guy who's never done anything in his life.
Timothy Geithner, guy who's never done anything in his life.
Joe Biden, lifetime legislator class.
Inoue, Daniel Inoue.
He's been, when did Hawaii become a state?
1959, 1960?
This guy has been the senator from Hawaii for almost the entire half century that Hawaii has been a state.
You might as well just have stuck with Queen Liliu Kalani or whatever she was called, if that's the system you want to get.
John Dingell, John Dingell Jr.
I had the opportunity to meet the guy who's running against John Dingell.
Had the opportunity to talk to him a couple of months ago.
He's been an Illinois congressman since 1955.
And for the quarter century before that, his constituents were represented not by John Dingell Jr., by John Dingell Sr.
So between the first Duke of Dingell and the second Duke of Dingell, the Dingell family has held the seat for a third of the Republic's history.
I mean, if that's what people from Illinois are looking for in their political system, why don't you just stick with the House of Lords?
You didn't need to bother holding the revolution if this is what you're going to do.
And these people, these lifetime emirs of Incumbestan, should be held to account for what has happened to this country because the financial situation of this country, the explosion of government, happened on their watch.
You can't, John Dingell Jr., who's been there since 1955, can't say he didn't know about any of this.
This guy has been there long before Castro.
These guys, these senators for life and congressmen for life have been there longer than the longest dictators for life.
John Dingell Jr. has been in office pre-Castro.
He predates the Cuban healthcare system that we're now introducing in this country.
These guys deserve to be held to account for what has happened on their watch.
And instead, what we have is just this, I mean, it's so pathetic, the kind of nickel and dime cheesiness of it all.
Eddie Bernice Johnson handing out scholarships.
She gets money to give to scholarships and she gives them $25,000 scholarships to four of her relatives and two children of her aid.
And she doesn't realize there is anything wrong with this.
And this is the problem with the American governing class now, that they have become a class that has insulated itself from proper rules of accountability and in effect regards, as we see when they express their opinions of the great unwashed masses out there, that regards the people with contempt, as Mark Belling was talking about yesterday.
So if you happen to support the Arizona law on illegal aliens, you must be xenophobic.
If you happen to support Proposition 8 in California, you must be homophobic.
If you happen to be opposed to the Ground Zero Mosque, you must be Islamophobic.
By the way, I preferred it when you were just called racist and sexist, because that was at least bigotry.
You know, that was at least bigotry.
Whereas now, the new ruling class says, no, you've just got these phobias.
It's not that we have a disagreement with you.
You've just got a phobia.
It's just how you're mentally ill.
If you just let the nice man in the white coat lead you over into the corner and strap you in nicely and let him stick the needle in your arm, you'll soon be feeling much better.
We don't have a political disagreement.
You just have all these zeno-homo-Islamophobias.
You're just mentally ill, but we can medicate that now.
That is one reason why we have the death of politics in this country, because we have a corrupt, condescending leadership class that looks on the mass of the American citizenry as bigots who have various forms of mental illness.
And you're not.
You're right on this thing, and you deserve to stick it to these emirs of incumbent.
Come the vote in November.
1-800-282-2882.
I want to hear, by the way, as I said last hour, if you're still driving around with the Obama-Biden sticker and you still think this guy is doing a terrific job, I want to hear from you because I would like to hear somebody make the case for what Barack Obama has done since January 20th, 2009.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein, in for Rush on the EIB network.
Let us go to Ray in Livermore, California.
Ray, it is great to have you with us.
There's a Livermore in New Hampshire.
It's an unincorporated township, and I think the population is three.
So I'll be very impressed if we get a call from Livermore, New Hampshire today.
I take it Livermore, California, you've got rather more people in your town.
A lot of Livermore ons here, yes, sir.
Thank you for the fine work that you're doing, taking dry, boring political subjects and spicing them up with some humor.
You do a wonderful job filling in for Rush.
I'm a business owner here.
Joy, wait just a minute.
Just a minute.
You're a business owner in California.
Yes, sir.
Why?
Well, I started 20 years ago, so I really didn't have much common sense or experience at that time.
I may not have done it knowing what I know now.
But I wanted to comment and say that you've nailed it when you say that Barack Obama doesn't know anything about business.
I have about three things I could state here.
He came out and he said he can't understand why businesses aren't hiring people because people are unemployed.
As if our sole purpose for running a business is to find people with cardboard signs and bring them into our establishment to get them busy because they don't have jobs.
I hire people because I have too much work to do.
And when my workload exceeds what my hands can do, I search for help and I hire people to do some of my work.
And Barack Obama simply doesn't understand that.
He thinks businesses exist simply to hire people and provide them with benefit packages.
Well, and that's why he had that stupid thing that he introduced at one point where you get whatever it was, a $400 bonus if you hire a new worker.
I mean, that's not, as you say, that's not why people hire new workers.
Who is going to hire a new worker to get some stupid government bonus for taking on somebody you don't really need?
It's ridiculous.
To pay them to stand around.
And then he had another idea that the bank should loosen up and loan money to small businesses so they can, quote, buy equipment and make payroll.
If you have to borrow money to make your payroll, you're in serious problems already with your business.
You're not handling your money correctly.
And you don't buy equipment to sit around and do nothing because customers aren't coming in the door.
So he's made another terrible mistake there.
No, but you know what was interesting about that is he's absorbed enough of these kind of phrases.
He's been around business people who use these phrases like, you know, make payroll.
It's very exotic to a community organizer.
He didn't have to use a lot of that lingo when he was on his way up.
And the classic example of that is when he was talking about the advantages of a government health insurance plan because unlike private health insurance, they wouldn't have to make profits, so they would have lower overheads.
This is how illiterate this man, who's president of the United States, to the great shame and embarrassment of the United States of America.
This is how illiterate he is on business.
He thinks that profit is part of overhead.
I mean, if you think that profit is part of overhead, it's no wonder you can burn through trillions and trillions of dollars and have nothing to show for it.
And then idiots like Pelosi and Reed are stomping around Capitol Hill because the Republicans won't help them pass this so-called small budget bailout or whatever they call it, which will really do nothing other than give them a place to stand up and say, see, we care about small business.
We've passed a bill.
Because in Congress, the mark of success is that you've passed legislation.
It doesn't matter if anything is done, but you've passed a bill and we've done our work.
We can go out and have drinks now or whatever it is they do.
And all this rubbish, Ray, is just piling up more paperwork for more stupid credits that are not worth the time it takes you, time you diverted from real economic energy into filling in government paperwork.
I mentioned that time a couple of months ago.
I wandered into the office and I found my assistant filling in the stupid form, asking her whether she worked with uranium.
You know, that is what the government thinks of as a useful use of my employees' time to ask her stupid questions about whether she works with uranium.
I wandered in here a few months ago and I found that we had a letter from the New York State Bureau of Compliance informing us that we were in non-compliance with the Bureau of Compliance and we were being fined $14,000.
$14,000 for being in non-compliance with the Bureau of Compliance.
I don't even know.
Even in New York, is there a Bureau of Compliance?
Or did some joker in a government office in Albany just have the letterheads printed up and send them out?
Because you know what it's like in America.
If you get an announcement from the new, oh, I'm in non-compliance with the Bureau of Compliance.
I've been fined $14,000.
Well, maybe they'd settle for six.
And people have just, you know, you can easily just print up the letterhead, send it out, see what comes back.
So I speak to my lawyer.
I say, this is outrageous.
This is disgusting.
This $14,000 fine from the New York State Bureau of Compliance.
I am outraged by this.
I would rather go to jail and be gang raped by whatever group of Albany legislators has been convicted of corruption that week.
And my lawyer goes, so I take it then you don't want to settle.
I mean, this is where it's there.
This is where this is where it's going wrong.
I had new business cards printed because I thought it was important to provide some stimulus for the business card sector of the economy.
And it now says, you know, Mark Stein available for guest hosting gigs, writer, author, columnist, blah, blah, blah, and in full non-compliance with the New York State Bureau of Compliance.
I think it is important.
I think it is critically important for more Americans to stand up and join the non-compliant.
The Bureau of Compliance is killing America.
They call it other names.
In California, they got a Bureau of Home Furnishings.
Where Ray is from, Livermore, California, they got a Bureau of Home Furnishings.
When you've got a Bureau of Home Furnishings, it's over.
Even Karl Marx did not foresee a Bureau of Home Furnishings.
Mark Stein, in for Rush, lots more to come.
Great to be with you.
Let's go to Dan in Mandeville, Louisiana.
Dan, you are live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Good to have you with us.
How are you doing, Mark?
I'm doing great, all things considered, including impending societal collapse.
How are you doing?
Okay, I hope you can help win me over a little bit.
I'm independent that voted for Obama.
I'm not happy.
I'm not happy with Obama.
And I'm listening to the conservative, Republican, you might say, Saad, but I'm not totally convinced.
And you just discussed the cost of the war versus some of the other deficit spending that we had.
And I wanted to see if you could help me out a little bit in this.
I am aware that the war costs less than what the stimulus is.
Right.
At least the cost up to now.
We are going to have a tremendous legacy cost in that because of disabilities and so on and so forth.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's not a way to think of it either, Dan.
Even if you factor in the most extensive costs, including human costs, including a continued footprint in Iraq or anything you want to throw in there.
And common sense should tell you this, by the way, Dan.
The cost of the Iraq war is still going to be a drop in the ocean compared, for example, to any kind of domestic entitlement.
Now, you think about a government health care system for 350 million people.
Nobody's attempted that before.
But the British National Health Service is the third biggest employer on the planet.
It's third after the Chinese People's Army and the Indian Railways.
And that's because domestic entitlement spending, because it's universal, because it applies to everybody, is always more expensive than going and invading some third world dump on the other side of the planet.
Well, Mark, I get that point.
Your point was that the deficit spending was outrageous.
And I was pretty much on the fence on the wall whether we should go to war or whether we shouldn't.
But what really irritated me was that the Republicans didn't ask us, the American public, to pay for that war.
And they financed it through China, okay, and we started our deficit in the interest rate.
Oh, no, no, no.
Wait a minute.
I think it's worth being clear on that.
What happened in the brief history of the Bush administration would run something like this.
In early 2001, the Bush administration passed tax cuts, which increased revenues.
Now, if you remember, the Clinton administration had run surpluses, which, by the way, I don't think governments should be running because what that is doing is that the government is taking more of your money, more of your money, Dan, and more of my money that it doesn't have a purpose for.
And that's not something the government should be in the business of doing.
So the Bush administration runs its mouth, passes these tax cuts.
Then what happens?
It gets clobbered by September 11th, which inflicted terrible financial damage on this country and tipped us into small deficits.
Now, when I say small deficits, we're talking below 0.4 of a trillion dollars.
In other words, this is small the way we talk now.
And what had happened?
And then you had the Iraq war on top of that.
But even the Iraq war was only ever a tiny slice of the proportion of the deficit spending.
And by the time you get to 2007, there was virtually no deficit spending except for the little bit from the Iraq war.
What happened then in 2008, 2009, 2010, we exploded the deficit spending, and there are not enough Americans to pay for it.
That's the problem, Dan.
It's very simple.
No matter how many kids you have, no matter how many grandkids you have, when you're spending $4 trillion but raising $2 trillion, there's not enough and there's never going to be enough.
But Mark, listen to this.
Who started the deficit spending?
Why didn't our Republican president at the time come to the public?
We just had these massive tax cuts, but we have a crisis here.
We have to go to war.
We don't want to run deficits for our grandchildren.
So why didn't he ask?
Well, because I think this is you can make relevant criticisms of President Bush.
Listen, I said right at the beginning of the show, you can be opposed to the war or you can support the war, but it's a waste of time opposing the war and the cost of the war because the cost of the Iraq war is irrelevant in the vast sucking more of the federal treasury.
The federal treasury pays for monkeys in Carolina, North Carolina, South Carolina, I can't remember, maybe it's both.
Maybe it's some kind of bi-state thing to be pumped with cocaine.
There is, I don't know what, I don't know what they're looking at for the effects of cocaine on monkeys because if the monkeys don't react too extremely to the cocaines, it may be that they could serve as functioning government bureaucrats.
I don't know why they're being pumped full of cocaine.
But by comparison with all the rest of the government spending, the cost of the Iraq war is irrelevant.
It's nothing.
It's something like responsible for 4% of the deficit in fiscal year 2010.
It's all the other stuff you need to worry about, Dan.
You compared Obama's stimulus program, which, by the way, I don't believe is successful and I don't think was positioned right, okay?
But remember, Republicans have proposed also a stimulus package which was about 80% as cost as costly as the Democratic plan.
And it was a stimulus that was also going to try to make jobs and do such and such.
No, I oppose that too.
But listen, the argument for Keynesian stimulus spending is that you do stuff.
I'm not a disciple of Keynesian economics.
But the idea is you use the government uses stimulus money to direct it to projects that will stimulate the economy.
Obama, Pelosi, and Reed directed the money to stimulate their cronies the way that that facility in South Carolina stimulates the monkeys with cocaine.
They took their cronies and they injected them full of government cash.
And that is why there is nothing to show for the stimulus except for stupid signs saying this sign brought to you by the American Recession and Redistribution Act.
You can say what you like about the Iraq war, but Saddam Hussein is dead.
He was strung up at the end of a rope.
If this had been run by the Obama stimulus package, there would have been a sign saying this is the designated sign for the Saddam Hussein execution scaffold, which we will be building circa 2037.
This is the point.
The Obama stimulus embodies the seizing up of America.
The seizing up of America.
Governmentalization is like sclerosis in your veins.
It hardens your arteries.
You can't move.
You can't move now without encountering some stupid government program, some stupid bureaucrat.
We read all these stories.
Seven-year-old girl got a lemonade stand in Oregon and some guy swings by and says, you know, you need a $125 permit for that.
A nice little old lady is making a pecan pie for the church bake sale and they say, oh, no, you need to have a state-inspected kitchen for that.
Gut, there is too much government.
Government is squatting like a giant toad on the wealth-producing class of this country.
And there's simply not enough wealth-producing class left to support what's going on.
And I'll make a bigger point.
This occurred to me while I was overseas.
And I found myself suddenly thinking, we know there's not enough money in America to fund U.S. government spending.
We know there's not enough money in America.
The interesting question is whether there's enough money on the entire planet to spend what Obama is proposing to spend and what the Democrats are proposing to spend for the next 10 years.
Is there enough money on the planet?
Now, in modern times, the rest of the planet's GDP, they've spent about something under 5% of that has been held in U.S. Treasuries.
Under the Obama scenario, the rest of the planet is going to want to have to sink 20% of the rest of the planet's GDP into U.S. Treasury securities.
It's not going to want to do it.
That's why I'm saying this kind of spending, it's total societal collapse.
You might as well break into that South Carolina facility, grab the cocaine off the monkeys, and stuff it up your own nose, because at that point, it's over.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush.
Lots more to come.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein, Infor Rush on the EIB Network.
I said half an hour ago or so, I was talking about John Dingell Jr. and John Dingell Sr., who've held their congressional seat for, I think, the last 80 years now.
And I think I said they were in Illinois.
In fact, they're in Michigan.
So my apologies for that.
But you know what it's like with fellas like me.
All you foreigners look alike.
So I can't expect Michiganders and Illinoisians.
It gets all complicated.
Let's go to Maggie.
This has been spelt phonetically for me.
It's Eufala, Oklahoma.
Is that right, Maggie?
Eufala.
Eufala.
I follow you in Eufala.
Inshallah, Eufala, as we say in the Middle East.
Great to have you with us, Maggie.
Where does Maggie come on Rush's list of top 10 female names?
Oh, it's number 17.
No, we've got to get that up to – I love the name.
I love the name, Maggie.
When you and I were young, Maggie.
That's a beautiful song.
Do you know I Can't Let Maggie Go?
No, I don't know that one.
Oh, I think that might just be a British hit for Honeybuss.
I think it got to number 23 in 1967.
You should look that up.
It's a delightful, delightful song.
That's the other great thing about Maggie.
It's a name with at least two good songs after it.
Great to have you on the show, Maggie.
Apart from the mellifluousness of your name, what else can we do for you?
Well, I called because you pegged these community organizer people exactly right.
I went to school with people who wanted to become community organizers.
And I chose a different path, but I've run into these people over the years.
And what you said about talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
That's exactly right.
And not only that, but there is a language.
You could have a Berlitz course on the language that they come up with.
And I think, in my cynical opinion, it's all to hide what they're really doing.
I mean, when you try to find these people in the community, they're always in a meeting or they're always out talking to someone.
I don't know.
In Oklahoma, they may be in the casinos or the bars or the movies or whatever.
But my feeling is that they're better off just talk, talk, talking and not doing anything because I said they're like bloodhounds.
You know, they're sniffing out grievances.
And if they can't find one, you know, then they'll create one.
They'll create one.
Right.
And then they'll come up with some grant money plan to take care of this grievance.
And that's when all the bureaucratic language kicks in and so forth.
And I've seen very, very few things in my career that have actually been better.
I think the smaller programs, yes.
But anything where they've got a staff and an office and all of that kind of stuff, the bigger it gets, it's like the federal government.
Well, nobody wants to live in a community organized by a community organizer.
That's the reality of it.
I mean, Barack Obama didn't live in the community he organized.
He lived in swanky old Hyde Park with Bill Ayers and the rest of the gang.
He didn't want to live in the so-called community he organized.
And you're right, they do speak this language, this Organizer Reno or whatever it is when you buy the Berlitz cassette so you can teach yourself how to speak Organizer Reno.
And these are the kind of non-we finally, this is the result, by the way, of two generations of American education being oriented to think.
I mean, the idea that you were at school in Eufala, Oklahoma, and you say there were large numbers of people who wanted.
I have never, when I was at school, nobody said, oh, I'd like to grow up and become a community organizer.
I don't know.
Maybe I had a deprived childhood and didn't go to the right kind of school.
But the idea that people actively want to go into that, all these, the problem with all these things, and you see it now, you see it in whenever they do these lists of the highest earning counties, the counties where households have the highest income.
They're all next to government.
They're all near either the federal capital or the state capitals.
They're all about being access to government.
Once upon a time, remember, you used to have steel towns in this country.
You'd drive out and you'd be in the middle of Michigan, and there'd be a big steel town where the guys, there were nice three-story Victorian homes on the tree-lined avenues and the railway came through.
And now they're all crumbling, and instead, the prime real estate depends on government.
Government is the big industry.
And community organization is a non-job, a phony baloney job.
Sarah Palin was right about that.
It's an entirely non-job.
We should take every community organizer and stick them on one of those atolls in the South Pacific that will re-emerge once Barack Obama has lowered the ocean levels.
And we could call it Community or the Republic of Community Organizerville, and they could all be happy organizing themselves all day long.
But it's a non-job, a complete waste of time, and nobody who really wants to make a contribution to this country should be wasting their time with it.
Mark Stein, in for us, more to come.
Hey, let's go to John in New Mexico before we close things out today.
John, we're up against the clock, but what do you want to say?
Hey, Mark.
Welcome to America.
I'm sorry it's not the country it once was.
I still love it.
Good for you.
Maybe we can fix it.
Listen, I like your metaphor about the Bureau of Compliance.
And in my own little stupid feudal way, I try to resist it a little bit every day, whether it's smuggling foos onto the aircraft past TSA or whatever.
Just tie it to the cell phone.
They usually don't spot that.
Why is it that the left seems to have a monopoly on exploiting that gray area between that area of civil disobedience between the illegal and the legal?
Why can't white wingers, why can't we?
Well, because they fight it.
They belong to privileged identity groups.
So if you want to belong to, if you want to join the Alliance of Non-Compliance as it marches across the land, you have to find yourself a privileged identity group.
That's why whenever I get a form from the government and they ask what group I belong to, I always check transgendered and Pacific Islander.
Because apart from anything else, it's a twofer, but it also wrecks the database.
And I think it's actually very important to do that.
The Bureau of Non-Compliance, it is our only way of resisting the march of Pelosi Reed compliance in this country.
We'll discuss that and lots more when the Rush Limbaugh Show returns tomorrow, noon till three.
It's been great fun.
