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

RUSH: This is David in Raleigh, North Carolina. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Last week you talked about the Let It Collapse Chorus, the Republicans who are saying let Obamacare go and fail and everyone will see how bad it is and blame the Democrats. Well, as you have pointed out they are thinking of this law incorrectly as though it is a statute that will just stand or fall on its own merits. This thing is more like a weed that was designed to morph and change and creep through our health care system and take it over. For example, over 700 times in the law you find the phrase “at the discretion of the secretary.” In other words, Secretary Sebelius can just change things if she doesn\u2019t like the way things are going.<\/p>\n

Once this weed is planted, it will find a way to stay alive.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. It\u2019s exactly right and a great description. It\u2019s a weed, and Miracle Grow or whatever the hell you use on weeds isn\u2019t gonna work on this. Roundup, is that what it is? Roundup\u2019s the weed killer? Well, there is no weed killer for this. Well, there is, actually, defunding it. Anyway, that\u2019s a good description of it. I think the Let It Collapse Chorus, it\u2019d be great if that happened, but it requires a certain level of education among the population. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not my nature to sit around and hope things will collapse, especially when that strategy hasn\u2019t yet worked. I remember people back in 1992 saying, “Come on, Rush! Get out of the way and let Clinton win. Let Clinton win! Republicans suck anyway so let Clinton win. <\/line>Let people see how bad country gets when the Democrats run it.” Well, it didn\u2019t work, \u2019cause Democrats continue to be elected after that. (interruption)<\/line><\/p>\n

What are you laughing at in there? What the hell\u2019s so funny? Weeds? I don\u2019t want to go to Home Depot. They\u2019re all thinking I have just stepped in it. See, because I don\u2019t know what the weed killer is, that means I\u2019m out of touch and not a real person, so they want to take me to Home Depot and show me what the weed killers are. Roundup is the weed killer? I\u2019ve heard of Roundup. You know, it\u2019s a serious question. <\/p>\n

There are no weeds where I live. I\u2019ve done away with \u2019em all. Whenever a weed pops up, it\u2019s done away with. I don\u2019t have to do it. Why do I not get credit for that? I\u2019m expanding the economy. I\u2019m hiring other people take care of my weeds, and yet I\u2019m somehow to blame \u2019cause I don\u2019t do it myself. But I do do it myself. I\u2019m being productive in other ways while others are being paid to de-weed my place. Yeah, have you ever had a neighbor, one of these every spare moment he\u2019s fixing up his house? <\/p>\n

He\u2019s painting the roof offer whatever? That guy\u2019s replacing windows or he\u2019s doing the roof or he\u2019s got his pocket drill out doing something, and, you know, all the home improvement stuff. (interruption) Yeah, he\u2019s a real man. All the other wives in the neighborhood say to their husbands, “Why don\u2019t you do like Brad does?” Well, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019d rather watch football while Zeke out there is doing the roof.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Gerald in Worcester, Mass. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush. I\u2019m calling because I take issue with you. Yesterday you had said that the individual mandate for Obamacare was unconstitutional, and then you added, no matter what Justice Roberts said. And the point is, is that if you do disagree with the individual mandate, you and your friends have options to go through the courts to try to overturn it. That\u2019s the American way. Not what\u2019s going on with the silly games going on in the Congress. I think you\u2019re choosing the wrong arena to — I know you don\u2019t like Obamacare. But I think you and your friends are choosing the wrong arena, and that\u2019s just not the American way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what arena should me and my friends be choosing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The courts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The courts. Well, but the Supreme Court, which is the Supreme Court, and there\u2019s nowhere to go after the Supreme Court, other than to try to take the case back there if you can find a new reason to, and you can\u2019t simply to challenge their ruling. <\/line>CALLER: No, but then give Obamacare a chance and then you\u2019ll have plenty of reason, you know, what you contend, to overturn it. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that\u2019s like saying give the Soviet Union a chance. No way. I didn\u2019t want to give the Soviet Union a chance. There are certain things I just know I don\u2019t want to get a foothold, and solid, tried-and-true socialism, statism, is what this is, is one of those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
