RUSH: Jerry in Milwaukee, great to have you on the program, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. In my state of Wisconsin, in 2006, 60% of the population voted for an anti-gay constitutional amendment. That\u2019s the same numbers that voted in North Carolina today and we\u2019re a much less religious state than North Carolina. So the numbers show support for gay marriage is going strongly in the direction of those who support equality, \u2019cause the same support for gay marriage in North Carolina as Wisconsin, that\u2019s amazing change in public opinion. And you cannot deny that, Rush.<\/p>\n
CALLER: The public opinion is in 2011, numerous polls showed majority opinion, according to some polls, bare majority but majority opinion for same-sex marriage. Ten years ago it was at 30%. That\u2019s 2% change per year. You\u2019re losing, Rush, like the right wing lost on interracial marriage and like they lost on their opposition —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, I see what you\u2019re talking about. I see. We\u2019re losing. Right. See, here\u2019s the thing, Jere, old buddy, old pal. It wasn\u2019t very long ago that marriage meant man and a woman. Fine and dandy, nobody had a problem with it. It just was what it was, like two plus two equals four, definition of a word. Then some people came along and said, “We\u2019re not happy with that. The definition of that word doesn\u2019t allow us to be married. We don\u2019t like that. That\u2019s unfair.” So people wondered, “What the hell, we have to start defending this?” So where are we now, Jere? Where are we now? We\u2019ve arrived at a point where the president of the United States is going to lead a war on traditional marriage. You want to call that winning? Your side is winning when the president has to lead a war on traditional marriage, when you\u2019re losing in landslides and you haven\u2019t won a state? <\/p>\n
I can see where you think you\u2019re winning because ten years ago, zip, zero nada even thought about this, until you guys decided you were unhappy and wanted to make everybody conform to the way you look at things, even if it meant bastardizing the definition of words. So now we got the president of the United States leading a war on traditional marriage. Is it gonna be like the war on stay-at-home working mothers that you people have led? Is it gonna be like the war on the Catholic Church that you people have led? <\/p>\n
See, all these subjects come up, Jerry, old buddy, old pal, because Obama and people like you are trying to turn traditional institutions on their head. And people like me who were minding their own business all of a sudden have to stand up and defend these traditions and institutions from people like you, and now the president, who\u2019s waging a war on traditional America. <\/p>\n
I wanna tell you something else, Jerry, old buddy, old pal. At the ballot box, you\u2019re never gonna win this. You can put out all the concocted, fake, phony polls you want. At the ballot box you\u2019re always gonna need a corrupt judge to overturn the vote of the people, Jere, old buddy, old pal.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me ask you a quick “pregunta.” (A little Spanish lingo there.) If you were “Barack Hussein Obama! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!” Why would you flip-flop on gay marriage the day after a stinging defeat in North Carolina? I throw that question open to the table. Why would you do that? Why would you essentially flip-flop on gay marriage on the day after a stinging defeat? So now we\u2019ve got John Kerry redux. Obama was against it before he was for it, or “evolved” or whatever. Is this gonna be used as the proof of evolution, Obama\u2019s arrival finally after years?<\/p>\n
In 1996, he told gay groups he was for gay marriage. Then when he had national political aspirations, he “evolved” (I should say devolved) into a position of anti-gay marriage. Now, all of a sudden, after a stinging defeat North Carolina, a 32nd consecutive defeat… I loved that lib calling here saying, “We\u2019re winning, Rush.” They do look at it that way. They looked at it and it used to be 100-to-zero against gay marriage. Now it\u2019s 60-40. They do see progress.<\/p>\n
But, remember, we\u2019re minding our own business ten years ago or whatever it was. “Marriage” is a word. It has a specific meaning. Then all of a sudden some people came along and said, “We want to change the definition.” No you don\u2019t want to change the definition. You want to corrupt the institution is what you want to do. “How dare you say that! We don\u2019t want in on the institution.” Well, then, marry a woman, or marry a man. That\u2019s what marriage is.<\/p>\n
Words mean things, or they used to.<\/p>\n
So now we have to stand up and defend all these institutions. We have the president of the United States waging war, leading war on traditional marriage now. There\u2019s no other way to look at this. There\u2019s no other way to characterize it. “Baraka” Obama is leading a war on gay marriage, just like he\u2019s leading the war on the Catholic Church, and the war on stay-at-home moms. So when Obama flip-flops, it\u2019s called “evolving.” When Romney evolves, it\u2019s called “flip-flopping.”<\/p>\n

“Hey, he used to be believe this and now he believes this!”<\/p>\n
“Well, he evolved.”<\/p>\n
“No, Romney\u2019s a flip-flopper!”<\/p>\n
“Well, Obama believed this but now he believes that. He\u2019s a flip-flopper.”<\/p>\n
“No, no! Obama is ‘evolving.'”<\/p>\n
