Time Text
Hi, greetings.
Welcome back.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
This, one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and we are happy to have you with us.
Our telephone number, 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbaugh at eibnet.com.
So Barack Obama, yesterday in Parma, Ohio, where there were 75 open seats at showtime, and they put out a call for some students to go in there and fill them up.
Barack Obama said he hasn't heard any new ideas from the Republicans in a long time.
Reminds me of a retort that Ronaldus Magnus made once to Senator Ted Kennedy.
Averill Harriman, W. Averill Harriman, he was the guy that inherited a big, big, big, big railroad fortune.
W. Averill Harriman, when he was 105, was appointed by Johnson back in 1964 to head up some special commission.
And he died about 210 years old.
He was at one time married to Pamela Digby Harriman, who was the harlot that everybody was her husband or keeper.
She ended up being ambassador to France for Clinton for a while over there, I think.
Anyway, W. Averell Harriman.
He's actually a good guy.
W. Averell Harriman built, as I understand it, I could be wrong about this because I heard this from somebody who lives there who was drunk at the time.
Built Sun Valley, Idaho.
Actually went out there and said, you know, there's a valley here.
The sun's here.
So I'm going to create this.
And Averill Harriman built the first ever motorized ski lift.
In fact, it was shown to me when I was out there this past summer at a wedding, the W. Averill Harriman ski lift.
So that's W. Averell Harriman.
And he had his 90th birthday party.
Stripper party, from what I'm told.
W. Averell Harriman got around.
And Ted Kennedy and Ronaldus Magnus were both there.
And Ted Kennedy said to W. Averill Harriman, Averill, you know, you're only half as old as Ronald Reagan's ideas.
And Reagan said, you know what, Ted, you're right.
I get all my ideas from the Constitution of the United States, which is just about 200 years old.
They've got this quote, this little story, this exchange up at the Reagan Library, which is, yeah, Ted, you're right.
Yeah, my ideas are.
I get my ideas from the U.S. Constitution.
Time magazine, What Happened to Obama's Army by J. Newton Small.
I pronounce it that way because it's hyphenated.
J. Newton Small.
Why would somebody's last name be hyphenated?
When you see that, do you wonder why their name is hyphenated?
I'm intrigued by how people name themselves, by how parents name kids.
Yeah, that's right.
Newton Small means that this guy, either his wife is named Newton or his wife's name Small, and he's the other one.
Isn't that what you mean?
Yeah, it's what I'm saying.
It's usually girls that do that.
No, this is hyphenated.
J. Newton Small.
Not J. Newton Small, but J. Newton Small.
It's hyphenated.
These things, and it's by design.
It's like there's an infobabe for, what is it?
I don't know, some Washington publication.
Her name is A.B. Stoddard.
Their name's Amy.
She calls her AB precisely so I will mention AB.
That's how she stands out.
It does.
Especially what woman goes by her initials.
Well, AB does.
And so now here's Jay Newton Small, which anyway, it's a little sidetracked.
These are just the things that occupy my mind when I see them.
But he's written a story here called Whatever Happened to Obama's Army.
What happened to Barack Obama's once-vaunted political machine?
The outfit that put upwards of 8 million volunteers on the street in 2008, known as Organizing for America.
It's a ghost of its former self.
Its staff has shrunk from 6,000 to 300.
Its donors are depressed.
Receipts are a fraction of what they were in 2008.
Virtually no one in politics believes that it'll turn many contests this fall.
There's no chance that organizing for America is going to have the slightest impact on the midterms, said Charlie Cook, who tracks congressional races.
It's an interesting question because remember, shortly after the immaculation, everybody was living in fear of this kind of thing.
That this army was going to be motivated, organized, and infiltrating every aspect of American life, and it was going to be growing and growing and growing.
It goes back to what I said in the first hour of the program.
The magic is gone.
He's not connecting with anybody, even his supporters.
There's no they're there.
I mean, how do you connect with somebody when you have to use a teleprompter every time you show up to speak?
I'm serious.
Even when you're at a grade school and you have a teleprompter set up, not to speak to the kids.
A lot of people misunderstood he had a speech of the kids on a prompter.
After he spoke to the kids, some other remarks he was making had a prompter.
You don't connect with people via prompters.
So Mr. J. Newton Small here says, well, neglect is to blame.
After Obama was elected, political aides ignored the army he had created until it eventually disappeared.
No one was in charge.
Decisions often deferred, but rarely made.
This is all a bunch of gunk.
The reason why this army has gone away is because there's nobody leading it and inspiring it from the top.
Everybody in the Obama crowd just assumed that they would continue to look at him as the Messiah, as the one.
But he never was that, and they're never going to be able to get that back.
And I don't care how many times they go out to Parma, Ohio, and try to redo the campaign with campaign speeches.
They're never going to recapture that.
It's gone.
It is totally gone.
He's just a big-eared mortal guy.
And even with the big ears, he doesn't hear anybody.
Just that simple.
Imam Obama.
Now, here's the hotline on call: Democrats breaking with Obama's economic plan.
In a sign that Democrats are not on board with what was supposed to be a major cornerstone of their platform this fall, an increasing number of Democrat incumbents and candidates are criticizing Obama's economic plan.
Within 24 hours of Obama's major address in Ohio on Thursday, which 75 seats were open at showtime, a Democrat senator, three House Democrats, and another two Democrats vying for open House seats all distance themselves from Obama's economic plan after he spends all that time ripping into Boehner for not having any new ideas.
After a two-hour speech talking about all the wonderful things he's done and will continue to do for the country, his own party abandons him.
Their remarks indicate that it'll be difficult for Obama to get his plan through Congress before the November elections.
They also show that Democrats are increasingly on shaky political footing on the economy, the top issue for voters this year.
So there you have it.
I had some people question a statement I made in the first hour.
What do you mean?
What's your source?
Obama has more debt added to the national debt in 19 months than all the country from the founding to Reagan.
Well, here right is Terry Jeffery at Cybercast News Service.
In the first 19 months of the Obama regime, the federal debt held by the public increased $2.5 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of a national debt held by the public.
That was amassed by all presidents from George Washington through Ronaldo's Magnus.
The U.S. Treasury Department.
That's the source of the figures.
We're not just making it up.
Obama said yesterday, you didn't elect me.
You didn't elect me to read polls and figure out how to stay in office.
Yeah, well, why did we elect you?
That's what a lot of people are asking.
What the hell were we doing?
I should have known it.
Jay Newton Small, hyphenated reporter from Time magazine, is a woman.
J-A-Y, I've had a lot of people send me notes informing me of this.
So Jay Newton Small is a woman.
That sort of makes the hyphenated last name a little bit more understandable.
All right, folks, you're one week away.
Next week on Thursday and Friday, two days of constitutional studies in Washington surrounding Constitution Day.
Hundreds of hours have been poured into preparations, and the lineup of speakers is impressive.
Now, this event has been sold out for some time, and there will not be 75 open seats at showtime, as there were in Parma, Ohio yesterday for Obama.
Now, if you haven't made plans to be in Washington for the Constitution Day seminar, don't fret.
You can see it online.
Hillsdale College, the same college that operates independent of any government funding, has built an online video channel for you to see all the speeches, all the seminars.
You'll be able to watch some or all the events from your home computer and hear the opinions.
There are going to be 20 scholars there.
Actually, more than that.
20 scholars, writers, and speakers discuss and debate the Constitution's place in our country today.
It's all free, too.
Courtesy of Hillsdale College.
It's easy to register.
Use the same website you used to register to receive their in primus publication, rushforhillsdale.com.
Very simple.
Rushforhillsdale.com, then reserve some time before and after the program next Thursday and Friday to see and hear from some very smart people on the Constitution.
Because that's really what the future of the country is all about, as people return to it.
And in some cases, people learn about it in depth for the very first time.
Jeff in Indianapolis, let me go back to the phones.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hey there, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm a big fan of your media tweaks.
And probably your most famous media tweak in the last 19 months is, I hope he fails.
Yeah.
Well, what I'm curious is, where in the heck is the media in reporting that Obama is succeeding?
I mean, shouldn't they be headlining Rush hoped for failure?
Obama scores successes.
Well, they don't.
They're all attention to the fact that the country is failing.
See, they don't.
Obama keeps piling up victory after victory.
Yeah, that's what you and I would look at it.
The media is not going to do that.
Nobody's going to come out, and it is certainly not Obama.
They're not going to come out and say, this is exactly what we intended to do.
They're trying to present Obama.
He's fighting hard for us.
And the Republicans left him with an even bigger mess than anybody knew.
Bush screwed up worse than anybody could have imagined.
Obama's in there working really, really hard.
They're not going to give up the truth on this.
Yeah, but there's that one agenda item that he hasn't gotten past that he wanted.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
That's what they're what they're doing.
Why don't people appreciate Obama?
Where's Obama's army gone?
We just had the stories.
Time magazine.
Where's his army gone?
How come the Democrats are defecting this man?
Why are they running away from him?
You're exactly right.
He has not failed according to his own ideas and prescriptions.
I appreciate you taking my call.
You bet.
It's always a pleasure to take people's calls.
Bridgefield, Delaware.
This is Frank.
Great to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, mega first state dittos.
Thank you.
Yesterday, you were talking about the Mike Castle-Christine O'Donnell race here in Delaware.
I was.
It's a GOP primary.
It's a special election to fill Joe Biden's old seat, which means the winner in November gets seated right away and will be there for that lame duck session.
Right.
That's why it's important to the nation.
I wanted to talk to you about Mike Castle's voting record.
Conservatives here in Delaware believe that's all you need to know about Mike Castle to know Mike Castle.
It gets tossed around a lot that he votes 80% of the time.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on a minute.
I'm having trouble hearing you.
What did you say is all we need to know?
His voting record.
Mike Castle's voting record is all you need to know about Mike Castle.
Oh.
I mean, well, I can give you an example.
The SEIU, the Service Employees International Union, ultra-leftist organization, in the year 2000, Mike Castle voted 0% of the time for issues concerning the SEIU.
That same year, he received $5,000 from them.
In the year 2001, his voting record on their issues went up to 25%.
Over the years, he's received thousands of dollars from them.
And last year, he voted 83% of the time in favor of SEIU issues.
Now, when you hear people say he votes with the Republicans 80% of the time, he does that rush by voting for amendments and resolutions.
I know we touched on this.
McCain votes for the Republicans 95% of the time.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The thing with Castle is he's never faced a real conservative here in Delaware in his whole career, back all the way back to governor.
And that's why you're seeing him dump so much money and go so negative against Christine O'Donnell.
I think he's shaken.
I think he's nervous.
And this whole stuff about her past and her financial problems, that's really all they've got against her.
But Mike Castle has a long history of voting liberal.
He voted 60% of the time with the Obama agenda.
Well, I know, but we're told that he has to to get elected.
That's Delaware.
I don't believe that, Rush.
I lived in Delaware.
I was born and raised in Delaware.
And I can tell you, in the current political climate, here in Delaware also, Christine O'Donnell has independent voters working on her primary.
They can't vote for her in the primary.
That's how bad they want her in the general election.
Once she wins this primary, her numbers go way up against the Democrat here because the independent voters start getting told.
So I think this race here in Delaware, people around the country should be watching it just for the fact that it is a special election.
Well, I think that's why we can get that one more better than the Senate.
I think a lot of people are going to be watching this election because there's such a rift on the Republican side of this.
You know, that's the, I mean, here you've got the carrot out that this is the Biden seat, the Biden seat, which, you know, I guess is an aphrodisiac to some, the Biden seat, like the Kennedy seat.
It's not the Biden seat.
It's People's of Delaware seat.
Hey, we're going to get Biden's seat.
Anyway, so you got Castle, who is the standard run-of-the-mill career politician in the House who represents the professionalism of it all.
On the other side, you've got this rogue challenger, Christine O'Donnell, about whom a lot of dirt has flown.
Some of it people say is true.
And the Republican Party split on this.
There are elements of the so-called conservative movement that are split on this.
That's why people are watching it.
One of the things that worries me about all these kind of races is the splinter in the aftermath.
Now, you look at Lisa Murkowski.
Lisa Murkowski in Alaska lost her primary to a Tea Party candidate.
Now, Lisa Murkowski is running around talking about a write-in candidacy.
Now, to their credit, the Republicans in the Senate say, hey, you've lost your chairmanship, even if you win on this third-party business or this write-in, you're toast.
But if she does go, she mounts a campaign as a write-in candidate, which even though there might not be a third party involved, you're still going to split the Republican vote.
The Democrat's still going to win.
People are going to have to take a look at this.
We're told the Republicans are doing what's best for the party.
We're going to do what's best for...
Okay, Lisa Murkowski loses.
She can seize the defeat.
But then if she does mount this right-in candidacy and then promotes it and splits the vote, she's going to give the seat to a Democrat.
So how is that supporting the Republican side of things?
So, yeah, I know.
Ms. O'Donnell is said to have a lot of baggage.
A lot of dirt.
She hadn't paid her bills.
She didn't pay employees.
She filed suit against some prestigious think tank, which I never heard of until somebody told me about this.
ISI.
You know what ISI stands for?
I don't.
I'm just admitting.
I don't know what they are.
But apparently she's done something to them that they don't like, that some conservative people don't like.
So she's got baggage.
She's run a foul of the IRS here and there.
I guess Mike Castle's clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
He's never had one problem in his background.
I don't know.
Most of the people in this country who have baggage have accumulated that baggage having gone up against some government agency somewhere along the line.
But it is, it's going to be interesting to watch.
This race really has people staking reputations on the outcome of it.
So you're right.
People are going to be paying a lot of attention to it, as of course will we here at the EIB network.
Brief timeout, folks.
I'll be back before you know it with much more stuff on the Imam.
Don't go away.
A guy asked me if Obama bores me.
No, Obama doesn't bore me.
I mean, you can't be bored, and you should not be bored by somebody trying to strip away your liberty and freedom.
But you know what bores me?
More and more, I got into a shouting match almost with some of my buddies out in Hawaii who kept talking about complaining about what's in the media.
And I said, you know, I don't even watch them anymore.
It's predictable.
The media is not even news anymore.
The media bore me.
It's utterly predictable.
I don't care where you go in it.
I have never felt more alienated from an institution than I am the so-called big media.
It's a joke.
The idea that the big media, a bunch of journalists that are reporting what's going on so that we can be informed, is absolutely absurd.
The big media is nothing more than part of a propaganda and agenda network for the Democratic Party.
And the idea that there's some reform that can come to that bunch of people is not even worth getting mad about what they do.
It's like getting mad at a Democrat for being a Democrat.
They're like getting mad at Obama for being a socialist.
It is what it is.
Total waste of time.
This Imam business.
This Imam and this, do you know this mosque?
They've raised nine grand, if that, for this.
This mosque is a totally trumped-up story.
This mosque is nowhere near being built.
The guy building the mosque doesn't have the money.
We're totally being manipulated with this.
We're being manipulated by this poor little guy down there, this church burning the Koran.
It's silly.
It's not worth the energy everybody's expending over it.
How many people go to this guy's church?
50?
30?
Is that it?
And here's Obama weighing in on it.
Obama says, well, you know, this is creating terrorists faster than come on, give me a break.
You actually think that a bunch of militant Islamists are minding their own business and they're not militant, but all of a sudden watching some Koran burning in Gainesville, Florida is going to recruit a bunch of terrorists.
That's not why they were going to become killers.
This is all absurd.
Now, the Imam did an interview on CE.
This bores me.
I got to report it, but I resent being manipulated into this.
But I got to do it.
There's a public service, public duty here thing.
New ABC poll on mosque in Manhattan.
The debate over construction of a Muslim community center.
Look, the vast majority of American people already oppose this.
What's the news?
80% don't want any part of this.
A majority of New Yorkers don't even want any part of this.
So once again, we got the ruling class against everybody else.
The interest of the story is what it represents.
It's just another illustration of how the ruling class is attempting to force everything down our throats.
The debate over construction of a Muslim community is not a community center.
It's a mosque.
It's a recruitment location.
Let's be upfront and honest about it.
Russia being politically incorrect.
I know I'm being politically incorrect.
The debate over construction of a Muslim recruitment center in lower Manhattan could carry political risks.
Really?
Earth-shattering news from ABC.
Four in 10 registered voters overwhelmingly oppose the plan.
Say they feel strongly enough about it that they could influence their vote in Congress this fall.
That's just 40% feel strongly.
At the same time, while 66% of Americans in the ABC News Washington Post poll oppose construction of the recruitment center, 82% of opponents say they object to its proposed location, not to building mosques in general.
Okay, I don't care how you slice and dice the numbers.
Nobody wants it there.
Plain and simple.
There is nonetheless substantial continued suspicion in the country of Islam, a faith practiced by an estimated one and a half billion people worldwide, comma, but by fewer than 1% of the U.S. population.
They go on and on and on to talk about what people think of Islam, as though we don't know what people think of Islam.
Let me go to the next page.
Oh, the next page is another story from religionblogs.cnn.com.
Soledad O'Brien did an interview with the Imam.
We have audio soundbites starting at audio soundbite number 16.
We'll get to them.
Here are five big surprises from Imam Faisal Abdul Rawf's interview with Soledad O'Brien on Wednesday night.
Number one, the Imam regrets locating the center near ground zero.
No, he doesn't.
If he did, he'd move it.
He says, if I knew that this would happen, cause this kind of pain, I wouldn't have done it.
Who would have thought this would have happened?
You really, the Imam is surprised by that.
You see how we get manipulated and carried into this story, keep it alive for weeks and weeks.
Oh, now all of a sudden, after how many weeks, the Imam finally says, gosh, if I'd have known this, I'd have never built it there after how many weeks.
Number two, five surprises from the Imam, according to CNN.
The Imam says the reason he can't move the mosque now that even though he would never have built it there in the first place, is because of national security concerns.
What?
What national security concerns?
Well, let's read further.
Parts of the Muslim world would be violently inflamed if the news of the center's...
Oh, you mean the religion of peace would have a dangerous uprising if the imam caved and moved it.
What?
If you build it, they'll come.
If we don't build it, they'll what?
Have a rally?
Seriously, the Imam says the reason he can't move it now, even though he says if he knew this would have happened, this kind of pain, he wouldn't have done this, but now he's done it's too late.
He can't move it because national security.
Parts of the Muslim world would be violently inflamed at the news that the Imam's caving and moving it.
I have a surprise here for the Imam.
Since CNN has five surprises for us, I have a surprise for the Imam here.
Every time it seems to me, anyone does not do exactly what they want, they start threatening to take it out on us, the troops, the Imam here.
This is a threat.
Is it the Imam saying, yeah, I don't really, if I'd have known all this, I wouldn't have done it.
But, gosh, if I move it now, why, who knows?
They might, I don't know what they'll do.
So, this is the hammer to tell on us.
The religion of peace, which is not what everybody thinks it is, is going to have an uprising, much like the Dutch cartoon uprising if we move the mosque.
Troops are already under great threat from militant Islamists.
That's why our troops have guns and armor.
I mean, it's not peaceful out there on the battlefield.
So therefore, I'm pretty sure we can handle whatever comes up here if there's an uprising, if the Imam decides to cancel a project to move, which he's going to have to do because he's not going to get the money for it.
Let's see.
The headslines in the Muslim world would be Islam under attack, the Imam said.
There's the danger to the radicals in the Muslim world of our national security, to the national security of our troops, if we move the mosque.
Does this Imam know what he's saying?
He's contradicting all of the public relations trying to put out there about this being a religion of peace.
The headlines in the Muslim world, not the terrorist world.
He said the Muslim world.
The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam's under attack.
And there's the danger of radicals in the Muslim world, our national security and the national security of our troops.
I think they're already threatened.
They're on the battlefield.
If we do move, the Imam said, it'll strengthen the argument of the radicals to recruit their ability to recruit and their increasing aggression.
So, see now, we can't move it because if we move it, that's just going to recruit more terrorists, which is what the president said.
So, we're being told, we're being led to believe that members of the religion of peace will mind their own business.
And all of a sudden, if we move this mosque, why?
They're going to sign up in droves and become militant terrorists.
Is it blackmail?
I don't know what this is.
It's some kind of a threat.
What's the third surprise?
Yeah, he said it would be bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis if we move the mosque.
Number three, when news first broke about the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero last December, there was no controversy about it.
I'm not sure that's the case.
I remember the first time I heard about it, I couldn't believe it.
And we so discussed on this program.
Well, what the Imam said back in December 2009, December 8th, to be precise.
The location was precisely a key selling point for the group of Muslims who bought the building in July.
New York's the capital of the world, and this location close to 9-11 is iconic, said the Imam.
Yet he wants us to believe it.
Had he known back then all this would have happened, he'd have scrubbed it when he tells us the original idea is the one that survives today.
There was plenty of controversy back in December when people heard about this.
I was doing an interview with Andy McCarthy on a book they had written, and I asked him about this.
We had a long conversation about it.
What do you mean there was no controversy when this thing was first learned about?
Maybe nobody reads the New York Times that cares about things like this, but there was controversy.
Got a couple sound bites here.
Let's get a couple of them before we go to the break.
Solided O'Brien, this Larry King alive.
By the way, they finally got a replacement for Larry King.
Well, this guy is, there's a America's Got Talent show, which is a spin-off of American Idol.
This British guy named Piers Morgan is going to sit in for Larry King.
And I haven't heard, has anybody complained this guy's not black?
He's not a minority.
He's not even an American.
We're getting a Brit now to sit in for Larry King alive.
I mean, it's just they've trained us to look at things this way.
Solid O'Brien, when you look at the polls, something like 71% of Americans think even though there's a right to build their center, blah, blah, blah, the wisdom of it may not be there.
Is it political or is it just people saying sensitivity-wise, it's the wrong thing to do?
If we moved from that location, the story will be that the radicals have taken over the discourse.
What radicals?
The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack.
What?
And I'm less concerned by the radicals in America than I'm concerned about the radicals in the Muslim world.
The danger from the radicals in the Muslim world to our national security, to the national security of our troops.
And if we do move, it will strengthen the argument of the radicals to recruit, their ability to recruit, and their increasing aggression and violence against our country.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to accept this anymore.
We've been hearing about this ever since Abu Ghrab.
We've been hearing about it ever since Club Gitmo, and it's bogus.
So we've got to bend over and grab the ankles because otherwise we're just going to be creating a bunch of terrorists.
Last I looked, the world is filled with them.
Long before we did or did not move or build this recruitment center, public mosque, whatever it is.
So basically, the Imam is saying we have to do what he wants.
We got to build this mosque or there's going to be violence.
How's that any different from a threat?
I mean, that's exactly how terrorists negotiate.
Can we just be upfront and honest about this?
Yasser, Arafat, you name it.
This is how they negotiate it.
You do what I want to do, or we're going to blow somebody or something up.
Now, this is not how interfaith bridge builders build bridges, folks.
You know, the next thing we're going to hear, when the Imam is not successful raising money for this thing, we're going to be told if we don't raise the money and fund it, there will be outrage.
And we will not be able to predict what the militant Muslims might do.
Because if we refuse to pay for the mosque, they'll be insulted by that.
They'll take that personally.
And we've heard this ever since those Abu Ghrab pictures, Club Gitmo, the mythical flushing the Koran down the toilet, which never happened.
Somehow it's our fault these people are raging lunatics and mad.
These terrorists, it's our fault they're terrorists.
That's what they told us.
Bush made them.
Bush created, yeah, had to go in there and attack Iraq.
I created a whole bunch of terrorists.
Had to go in there and get Afghanistan.
And Reverend Wright, America's chickens have come home to roost.
I mean, 9-11, we deserved it.
Our policies led to the creation of all these people.
Madness held the country, and we should understand why.
So they continue to hold out these threats here.
You ain't NAMBY PANBY politically correct people here, like Mayor Bloomberg and others, and Obama react to it on the basis of defensiveness and fear.
Hey, folks, in any economy, especially this one, we speak with our wallets.

Ladies and gentlemen, another brief question here from I, El Rushbo, from me, El Rushbo, your host.
They say that we need a mosque at the World Trade Center site to convince the Muslims of our decency, goodness, openness, and so forth.
Why?
Why do we need a mosque at ground zero to convince the Muslims about anything?
What don't they know about Western culture already?
They all have televisions.
Television brings America right into their homes every hour of the day.
None of it's anti-Muslim.
I mean, to the contrary.
Yet we're supposed to think that a cultural center will somehow make the difference.
What are we embarrassed of?
What are we feeling defensive?
What in the world is wrong with America that we have to convince them?
Now, we're not that bad a bunch of guys.
