Larry, great to have you on the program.  Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:  Thank you, sir.  How are you today?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:  Very good.  Appreciate your call.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:  Today I\u2019m calling because, you know, I\u2019m just about a 50-year-old man, been in the workforce all my life. I\u2019m a young conservative in that I was raised a very simple thinker. I probably became pretty apathetic when it came to politics up until the last half dozen or less years, I started to pay attention.  Now it\u2019s got me scared.  My question really stems from the point &#8212; let me give you the example, and maybe we can answer the question there.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:  Okay.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_73805\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFreedom.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:  If any given politician is asked a question, let\u2019s just say you ask that politician, &#8220;What time is it?&#8221;  Why do they sit there and tell you how to build a watch instead of just answering the question?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:  It is the nature of the business to always have untried solutions or better ways of making a watch rather than just making the existing one work.  So to answer your question, how to wind it wouldn\u2019t serve the purpose.  They want you to pay for the funding, for the design of a new watch, when you don\u2019t even need one, and they want to tell you the watch you currently have is worthless, particularly if a Republican company built it.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:  Right.  But when it even comes to a yes-or-no question they still will meander down a rabbit\u2019s trail instead of giving you a yes or a no.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:  Well, it is the nature of politics as a business.  You are just now arriving here at being interested in this level in this stuff, you were not all that into this until recently?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:  Unfortunately, being raised in the public school system and being indoctrinated into so many different civil theologies, if you will, unfortunately, yeah, I just now jumped on the train, and I\u2019m just now learning.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_73822\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGOPDemIndep.jpg\"\/>RUSH:  Okay, let me give you the best answer to your question.  Don\u2019t ask them.  Do it yourself.  Don\u2019t ask \u2019em why anything is.  Don\u2019t depend on \u2019em.  Don\u2019t depend on a politician for where you\u2019re gonna end up in life.  They can\u2019t possibly care about you as much as you do.  They can\u2019t possibly be as interested in the outcome of your life as you are, so don\u2019t even ask \u2019em.  Just do it yourself, pure and simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Larry in Indianapolis. Larry, great to have you on the program. Hello, sir. CALLER: Thank you, sir.
