RUSH: Huntington Beach, California. This is Lorenzo. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m honored to be here with you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Goodness. Hello?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hi. You\u2019re on the air. Your big show biz break.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I wanted to say I was an ultraliberal all my life, from teen days, from being a hippie. And I had a woman that I worked with when Obama was elected, I thought it was the end, the revolution was over, everything was gonna be all right and we were gonna take everything over and everything was gonna be fine, but then, you know, I started listening to you and because a woman that I work with, she used to say, “Listen to Rush Limbaugh.” So I listened and we thought you were nuts. But one day you were talking about political correctness and free speech and that hit me so hard because you couldn\u2019t say something, and I started thinking, and then I started reading like you were talking about some columnists and the Washington Post and I started reading them and realizing what they were saying was okay for them, but for anybody else to, it was wrong. And then when you were talking about the bailout and the bailout with all this money, and really, nobody ever saw it. It never went anywhere and it hit home. And then I realized everything you said was true and these people were liars and they were trying, like you were just talking about a little a while ago, about them trying to control the whole country, what we think, what we eat, what we do, everything, all of our rights and everything that we grew up with —<\/p>\n
CALLER: I would say about three years.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, okay, is sounded like it mighta happened over the course of two months.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, a lot of it did, you know, as I looked more and more, but I still couldn\u2019t believe it. You know, you still have these tinges, and I kept wanting to say, “Nah, he\u2019s okay, nah, he\u2019s okay, nah, he\u2019s okay.” But, my goodness, you know, we had no gravitas anywhere in the world. You know, it was unsafe to travel anywhere anymore. You know, when you used to go somewhere as an American they loved you and now it\u2019s like everyone wants to kill you, and no matter what everything\u2019s become unsafe, money, there\u2019s nothing of value or anything.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Lorenzo, I need you to hold on. I gotta break I must take. Can you hold on for a minute here?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Good. I want to find out what revolution you were talking about.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Back to Lorenzo in Huntington Beach, California. You said, and this is a semantic thing here, but you said with Obama\u2019s election, you\u2019re all happy back then, the revolution.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, seriously, this is not a trick question and there\u2019s no wrong answer here. I\u2019m just genuinely curious about your attitude and others. What revolution did you think was underway and thus complete with Obama\u2019s victory?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, that our thoughts and programs and everything we\u2019ve always believed in as liberals and ultraliberals was finally going to be recognized around the world. And that we would be looked at as the elitists we thought we were. And of course we were going to make sure that every corporation was going to hire the poor and everyone was gonna be fed and there was gonna be a house for everyone and the consequential of the cost. But you never think of anything like when you\u2019re pushing all these things because they\u2019re so a noble —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, see this is what is fascinating to me, Lorenzo, because I believe that throughout liberalism you have, just like any other group, you have the leaders, you have the rank-and-file, you have the followers and so forth. I do believe that many, what I would just call citizen liberals, actually believe what you just said is possible. That utopia is entirely possible, that nobody\u2019s ever hungry, that nobody\u2019s ever poor, that nobody\u2019s ever unhappy, that nobody\u2019s ever laughed at, that nobody\u2019s ever made fun of. At the same time the liberal elites who are exploiting that know full well it\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, and they also, with every cause, all of a sudden you start helping them and raising money for \u2019em, everything becomes a cause where the whole nation\u2019s in crisis and we have to stop Rush Limbaugh, we have to stop this, we have to stop whoever it is, and they send out a million letters, you know, saying we\u2019ve gotta get you, we need your money, we\u2019ve gotta do it. And I realized all these people I was helping were collecting money and they were collecting money, after money for everything. I said, “What the heck are they doing with it all?”<\/p>\n
RUSH: What\u2019s interesting about this to me, if I remember what you said correctly, it all began to unravel for you when we had an explanation or discussion here of political correctness and who could say what and who couldn\u2019t and therefore there really wasn\u2019t any freedom of speech. And that, from the way you spoke, it sounded like it unraveled pretty quickly. And that\u2019s somewhat amazing to me. That\u2019s why I asked you how long this awakening took you. When you said three years, that made sense. It sounded like you switched overnight but that\u2019s not what it was.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, being a writer by profession, you know, I deal with words all the time, but it\u2019s so funny, you don\u2019t look into the depth of some words. I could look into it but not on all these political speak and all these senators and all these people that all of a sudden when you looked at \u2019em you realized they were saying no and everything was staged, everything was fake, and yet you couldn\u2019t call a name to somebody or you couldn\u2019t raise your voice to anyone or, God forbid, you may say something, you know, that was out of sorts, somebody —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Lorenzo, why do most liberals like you not experience this awakening?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Because they don\u2019t want to. Because they have to look within themselves —<\/p>\n
RUSH: But you did. I mean you had this woman that kept telling you to listen to me, you thought I was nuts, thought I was Looney Tunes, didn\u2019t know what I was talking about, yet one thing that I said caused everything to unravel for you, so you had to be skeptical a little bit on your own?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, of course there was some skepticism. I mean when you have people, you know, like the Schumers and that type that you knew were not out for the good of the people, but I believed in the people, you know, Robert Kennedy and that type. I maybe was idealistic way back then, but being young, we thought, you know, this was out for the good of the people and the good of everyone for the country, and to have peace, prosperity, you know, helping each other, that feeling back in the sixties where you reached out across and you helped people. But that was gone, and it became so divisive, and a lot of it was just because they were giving to us these images to cast anyone who was conservative as the devil. And really, I mean they all had the same noble thoughts in their heart, we\u2019d all like to see everybody —<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s another thing.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — taken care of, but in their own way. And the smartest —<\/p>\n
