Hi, Lar\u2019.  Great to have you on Open Line Friday, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, great to talk to you.  The weekend draws near, so I\u2019ll make it quick.  I think you may agree with me that the underlying theme with this birth control debate and Rick Santorum and the left and all this is that the left would have you believe that if the GOP gets into office or Rick Santorum specifically, we\u2019d see a theocracy in America.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s exactly what they want people to believe.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  But if you go back a year, if you remember the Ground Zero mosque debate, the left was on the side of the theocracy.  And they were screaming about religious freedom.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait a minute.  What do you mean, the left was on the side of the theocracy?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The Muslim theocracy. The Muslims have vowed to have a theocracy, a caliphate, if not in America but globally, but certainly, you know, that\u2019s their push, they\u2019re a theocracy, you know, Iran is a theocracy &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, look, I\u2019m just gonna play devil\u2019s advocate.  It\u2019s true that the left was very supportive of the Ground Zero mosque, but that\u2019s not the same as your example of Santorum being elected president.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, no, they would scare you into believing that Rick Santorum is the forefront of a new theocracy, a Christian theocracy in America, but a year ago they were on the side of the Muslim theocracy crowing about religious freedom.  It\u2019s just breathtaking hypocrisy and I don\u2019t know why anybody on the right doesn\u2019t point it out.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, they\u2019re afraid to.  They\u2019re afraid to, it\u2019s fear.  Fear is the biggest paralysis going.  I don\u2019t know that there\u2019s a bigger theocracy than liberalism.  I don\u2019t know that there is a more demanding religion than liberalism.  Look at the sacrament: abortion.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Look at the sacrament to that religion, and it is a religion.  It demands total fealty.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  So we are a theocracy with the left in charge.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_59358\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaWrightIllGetcha.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  In a manner of speaking.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  In a manner of speaking, yeah.  &#8216;Cause it is liberalism.  I mean a liberal is a liberal first, and whatever else the liberal is second.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Why do they love this religion of not having babies?  I mean in order solve this real estate problem one of the things we have to do is create more people, don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, that is ironic.  You need more taxpayers, you need more voters, you need more welfare recipients.  But on the other side of it, women\u2019s rights and the female vote and keep the feminazis happy.  Abortion is a huge thing.  It may be the biggest thing in liberalism.  It is insurance against anything else wrong with you. Like Reverend Wright.  He\u2019s perfectly acceptable, because he is pro-abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here is Larry in Johns Creek, Georgia. Hi, Lar\u2019.
