\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Patty in Longview, Texas. Patty, I\u2019m glad you called. Great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Thank you for taking my call. I have a question for you. I\u2019m originally from Honduras, and I truly do not understand how this country is now paralyzed by race, that it now trumps individual liberty. I see that the tactic works, calling somebody a racist, but that\u2019s not our benefit, my kids\u2019 benefit. None of the elected officials stand up for freedom anymore, and I need to know if it\u2019s time to panic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, how long have you been…? You say you\u2019re from where, did you say?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Honduras.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Honduras. And how long have you been here?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Since \u201986.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. You\u2019ve been here quite a while. The phenomenon that you\u2019ve noted is rather recent, \u2019cause you\u2019re absolutely right. The number of elected officials who talk about freedom — either in an active sense or even theoretically, constitutionally — is zilch. This country is paralyzed by race because that is the chosen state of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has sought to advance itself politically by making as many groups of people victims of the Republicans as possible in people\u2019s minds. <\/line><\/p>\n

The Republicans are all white. The Democrats\u2019 message is, “The Republicans are all white. They\u2019re all racists. If the Republicans are ever in charge, nobody\u2019s gonna have any freedom! Everybody\u2019s gonna be a slave. Everybody\u2019s gonna be poor. The rich are gonna take everybody\u2019s money, and the Democrats are out protecting everybody,” and if 51% of Democrats do not know that the earth revolves around the sun once a year, what other stupidity can they be made to believe? <\/p>\n

So the Democrats engage in fear and crisis on a daily basis, telling people that vote for them that they are under assault and that their only protection is the Democrat Party. This kind of cultural Balkanism has been chosen as an official policy for the Democrats because it\u2019s something they have judged that will be successful in them winning elections and holding power.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But it doesn\u2019t seem to work when it\u2019s somebody like Marco Rubio, who is Cuban, or Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but they are also castigated as racists or elites. Hang on. Have to take an unfortunate break.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, back to Longview, Texas. Patty, are you still there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I am.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Basically I just wanted to tell you that racism has been whipped up by the left, by the Democrat Party as a means of silencing its opponents. The Democrat Party is not about self-reliance and rugged individualism and freedom. They\u2019re about dependence. They need people depending on \u2019em. They don\u2019t want people exercising the kind of creative freedom and entrepreneurial freedom that can launch them into a circumstance where they don\u2019t need government to get by. The Democrat Party\u2019s always been based on racism. They formed the KKK. <\/p>\n

\"original\"The Democrats are the ones that wrote and passed and signed and enforced every Jim Crow law that has ever been in this country. They\u2019re the ones that wouldn\u2019t let blacks at the University of Mississippi. They\u2019re the ones that fire hosed \u2019em and dogged \u2019em at Selma. Democrats were the big segregationists, and they have now just turned that around and make that charge of racism everywhere to silence critics. Look how effective it is. There is no criticism of Barack Obama, absolutely none of any substance from the Republican Party because they\u2019re so afraid of being called racist. It\u2019s that simple. I\u2019m glad you called, Patty. It\u2019s a great question. And happy to be able to answer it for you. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
