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

RUSH: Here\u2019s Jeff in Coldwater, Michigan. Jeff, it\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you doing? It\u2019s nice to speak to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I\u2019ve been soaking up an EIB education like a sponge for going on 20 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well!<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, you know, I gotta tell you: I\u2019ve learned something. I\u2019ve learned a thing or two about these liberals, and I think I know where this gay marriage issue is going in America. I know it sounds horrifying but I believe this is what\u2019s gonna happen: We\u2019re gonna have radical states, like Massachusetts or whatever, and their legislature is going to enact legislation which says that they will not recognize heterosexual marriage from some other state who does not recognize homosexual marriage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Good. Good. Good student.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I honestly believe this is gonna happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is a great institute, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. This is indeed possible. A radical state, in order to illustrate something and to facilitate something, says, “Okay, fine. We\u2019re not gonna recognize the heterosexual marriages of people outside of Massachusetts from a state that will not approve gay marriage.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believe it because they are totally intolerant of any dissent. Politics is a blood sport to these people. The issues are a blood sport. I mean, I know that\u2019s where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re right. I saw a poll. I don\u2019t remember where I saw it. I didn\u2019t print it out. It was just in my scattershot reading today. I don\u2019t remember the name of the poll, but I read it. It seemed like it was something that I would trust. Twenty-six percent of Democrats in this poll identified conservatives as the number one terror threat facing America. I was surprised it was that low, because I believe that most liberals actually look at Republicans and conservatives as full-fledged, real — not just political, but real — enemies. <\/p>\n

Enemies of what they want. Enemies of what they think is right. Real enemies. Not opponents. Not people that are to be defeated in debate. We\u2019re not supposed to be defeated and have people persuaded that we\u2019re wrong. We are to be eliminated as a legitimate opposition. That\u2019s Obama\u2019s modus operandi. Obama doesn\u2019t want to debate anybody. Obama doesn\u2019t want to triumph in a contest of ideas. <\/p>\n

He just doesn\u2019t want there to be any opposing ideas. <\/p>\n

If there are opposing ideas, he wants the people who hold them to be totally discredited and impugned to the point they\u2019re all thought of as kooks and crazies and hayseeds that nobody\u2019s gonna believe, anyway. That\u2019s how the left operates. You know it and I know it. That\u2019s why we\u2019re so frustrated with a Republican Party trying to make peace, trying to be bipartisan, trying to go along with Democrats, trying to make them understand and like us, trying to make them understand that we\u2019re not what they say we are. <\/p>\n

There is no area of commonality. There\u2019s no overlap of anything in common here. So the idea bipartisanship I don\u2019t even think it\u2019s possible because we don\u2019t have anything in common or very little on things that matter. The radical extremists of American liberalism are running the show and are defining what is the mainstream of the American left. The radical extremists have become the mainstream, and they run the Democrat Party and everything else. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not interested in winning a debate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not interested in persuading other people that they\u2019re right. <\/p>\n

Their whole modus operandi is to one of two things: Get rid of all opposition, or so impugn and mischaracterize people who oppose them that they\u2019re all thought of as racists, sexists, bigots, kooks, freaks (you name it) that nobody would take seriously anyway. They want to ban programs they don\u2019t like. They lead boycotts, all kinds of things. They\u2019re not interested bipartisanship; they\u2019re not interested in cooperation, not interested in coming to a common agreement on issue after issue after issue.<\/p>\n

And since Obama was elected, the pretense of that is gone. There used to be a pretense that they were of that stripe, that they were interested in having civil debates and persuading people who disagreed with them that they\u2019re right and winning mandates in that regard. Ever since Obama\u2019s victory, that\u2019s all out the window. That doesn\u2019t matter. Now it\u2019s just eliminate — and I don\u2019t mean kill. I\u2019m just talking about eliminate, as a viable opposition, anything to do or anyone that threatens them. They are threatened — I mean, really threatened — by people that disagree with \u2019em. <\/p>\n

That constitutes a major threat to them, not a problem. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not something to be overcome. It is a real threat. So when I see a poll that says 26% of Democrats consider conservatives to be the number one terror threat facing the country, I actually am surprised it\u2019s not higher than that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was a Rasmussen Reports telephone survey and it was that 26% of Obama supporters view the Tea Party as the nation\u2019s top terror threat. Honestly. Rasmussen. I\u2019m surprised it\u2019s not higher than that. Twenty-six percent of Obama supporters view the Tea Party as the top terror threat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
