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

RUSH: Susan in Oxnard, California, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Super Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yesterday you said the left wants to eliminate judging people on accomplishments in order to judge them on surface things, but I say that wasn\u2019t quite correct. I say what they\u2019re doing is building their monetary system where merit and effort don\u2019t matter but being a good person and caring are what matters and that\u2019s how people earn stuff. They\u2019re swapping those and changing the perception and the expectations of the youngsters.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So that caring and being a good person matters more than earning things?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. When they get rid of all the judging and the levels so that all the kids are the same, the high achievers, they put them right down there with the lower achievers, they\u2019re all the same. So when they get to the out of school level and they go to get a job, they don\u2019t understand why they\u2019re not making just as much as the higher achievers. I\u2019m a good person too, I deserve just as much.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I know exactly what you\u2019re saying, and on the surface your point is good but it\u2019s got a couple of flaws in it. What you\u2019re basically saying is all that really matters is being a good party member. The problem is there are lots of really good people who are conservatives that these people hate.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Right. But they hate them because they don\u2019t see their good personness. For example, I\u2019m going to use you if you don\u2019t mind. They don\u2019t see you as a good person because they don\u2019t see you doing the caring stuff. You take things factual, step by step. If you want to get to a goal, you figure out what the steps are and you go one by one by one. They don\u2019t see you doing the, “Well, I care, I\u2019m a good person. I believe in global warming.” You\u2019re out there marching with them. You\u2019re out there giving other liberals, “You\u2019re a good person.” “No, you\u2019re a good person.” “You\u2019re a good liberal.” “You\u2019re a good liberal.” They don\u2019t see you doing that stuff because you\u2019re doing the steps. So you\u2019re not a good person.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Now this is intriguing because there\u2019s no question you\u2019re onto something here. But I do do good stuff, and frequently on this program. I mean, I don\u2019t tout the stuff that I do. But some of the stuff that I do here I do do publicly.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely, I agree. You are a super good, super duper good person and you deserve even more money than you have if we\u2019re measuring by the liberal system. But the liberals, they can\u2019t see it that way. See, I stumbled onto this because I was beat into submission of being a liberal when I was in school. I was beat down. I was a high achiever and I was punished for that. I was attacked in one class. And I kept not understanding, you know, what am I doing wrong. I was making the other children feel bad. Stop making them feel bad.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Exactly. You are humiliating the others because they weren\u2019t doing nearly as well as you were.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct. Correct. I mean, I can remember the exact minute when I figured out what the teachers wanted me to do. They wanted me to dumb myself down and be weaker and be with the other kids. So then I was a good person and then they told me, “Okay, now you\u2019re a good person and now you will be able to build a life. Now you will be able to do things.” When I was doing it the other way, I wasn\u2019t a good person. I was never going to get anywhere because I was always going to step on people and I was always going to be pushed down and everything. They explain it different and they drill it in there to the point that it sort of sticks. I mean, if you listen to the, any of the <\/p>\n

RUSH: I know, they put all kinds of peer pressure, societal pressure, tow the party line pressure kind of pressure on you because everybody wants to be loved. That\u2019s what they prey on.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Right. And the people nowadays believe it. You watch reality TV and you\u2019ll see them. “You know, what\u2019s wrong with me. I\u2019m a good person.” Or, “I\u2019m a good person; I deserve to win.” You actually hear them saying that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, that\u2019s right. I deserve to win because I\u2019m a good person, not because I\u2019m any good at anything.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I deserve to win because I\u2019m a good person! I care!<\/p>\n

CALLER: You are awesome, Rush. They expect that talent and experience; none of that matters. It shouldn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shouldn\u2019t matter. Shouldn\u2019t. Of course it does in the real world.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that\u2019s why people get shocked and surprised as you\u2019re describing this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct. And it\u2019s also why when it doesn\u2019t work that way, they get angry and frustrated and you see the liberal temper tantrum.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, Susan, how old were you when you figured this out?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Which one? I figured out what the liberals wanted me to do when I was in fourth grade. I figured the system, I call it the liberal GPS.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. What grade are you in now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m almost as old as you are.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No. No, no, no. I thought you were another 17 or 18 year old.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No, no. No, no, no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t be insulted. I didn\u2019t <\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m actually honored. You have no idea. I am probably your biggest fan, Rush. I give your tea as gifts. I send it to liberals all the time. Yeah. But this system I figured out <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, look. I\u2019ve got the constraints of time here that I have to deal with. I have to run. But let me reciprocate. I don\u2019t know what you would prefer, but let me give you an item list to choose from: iPad, iPhone, iPad Mini, Retina MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How about the iPad and your signature, and can I type an e mail and you\u2019ll just read it if I write the rest of this for ya?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. I will send it. I\u2019m a 24\/7 member and I\u2019ll type it up, because I think you\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Now look. To make sure that I see it, and if I tell you what to put in the subject line, everybody will do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. Mr. Snerdley can tell me that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll give Snerdley a code. So you want a signature iPad?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. You\u2019re awesome.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just love the heck out of you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Susan, thank you so much. Well, you hang on so Snerdley gets your address. Are you sure you want the signature 10 inch iPad?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know what? I want you to send me whatever you choose. That\u2019s actually what I really want. Honestly, I don\u2019t know what most of them are. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Well, that\u2019s what you specified, so that\u2019s what you\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re a sweetheart.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s state of the art. Now hang on so we get your address, and I\u2019ll give Snerdley the code for the subject line on the e mail. So don\u2019t hang up, okay? All right. Thanks much. Well, that was too brainiacs in a row taking me to school. “Well, you know, Rush, you\u2019re partially right but there\u2019s something you\u2019re not getting.” I love it. I absolutely love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
