Yeah, they\u2019re leftists.\u00a0 But they\u2019re educated.\u00a0 These are not crackpot commenters on Twitter or Facebook.\u00a0 These are ostensible intellectuals.\u00a0 Today\u2019s Republican Party&#8230;is an insurgent outlier.

They even got rid of some of the sequester dollars, some of the real (albeit small) budget cuts.\u00a0 Those have been allowed to fritter away.<\/p>\n<p>Where is this Republican ideology these guys write about?\u00a0 Where is this extreme ideology in the Republican Party?\u00a0 The Democrat Party, in our view&#8230; You want to talk about ideologically extreme or just plain extreme?

For us, the most amazing thing as we look at the political spectrum is to see how radicalized the entire Democrat Party has become.\u00a0 They are all left-wing, extreme radicals.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_125022\" class=\"img_right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DemocratSHORT.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/>There isn\u2019t a John F.

Remember, they write this in 2012.\u00a0 &#8220;In April 2012, we created a major stir.&#8221;\u00a0 Now, this piece that actually ran in Vox was just last week. Recently.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8220;contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime.\u00a0 Scornful of compromise.&#8221; Scornful of compromise?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t the number one identifying factor of Republicans, &#8220;I\u2019m the guy that can cross the aisle!

I have to put this in perspective.\u00a0 You know how the &#8220;hands up, don\u2019t shoot&#8221; meme coming out of Ferguson is an outright lie?\u00a0 It did not happen.<\/p>\n<p>There is literally no evidence anywhere that Michael Brown was murdered after being hunted down by a racist white cop and shot in the back with his hands up saying, &#8220;Don\u2019t shoot!&#8221;\u00a0 It didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 Quite the opposite.\u00a0 He was being arrested or stopped for walking in the street instead of the sidewalk and he lunged into the cop car, trying to get the cop\u2019s gun.\u00a0 Many people said that they would have fired sooner than the cop did.<\/p>\n<p>The grand jury conducted investigation after investigation.\u00a0 There were five witnesses, African-American witnesses who said that Michael Brown was aggressive and tried to get the gun away from the cop.\u00a0 And yet everybody on the left runs around thinking that and that\u2019s why Black Lives Matter\u2019s doing what they\u2019re doing. All of this unrest and a lot of this cop killing is rooted in that lie that is still being told, still being promulgated, and it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_125023\" class=\"img_right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RushLiberalismLIES_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/>And global warming is the exact same thing.<\/p>\n<p>There is no science that establishes climate change.\u00a0 The climate is always changing.\u00a0 But they don\u2019t have any evidence.\u00a0 All they\u2019ve got is computer models.\u00a0 I\u2019m blue in the face trying to explain this to people.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t any evidence.\u00a0 In fact, what evidence there is shows no warming in the last 18 years.\u00a0 That\u2019s why global warming became &#8220;climate change.&#8221;\u00a0 There isn\u2019t any.\u00a0 There hasn\u2019t been any warming. There isn\u2019t any evidence.\u00a0 All they\u2019ve got is computer models which are predicting all these hurricanes that are not happening.<\/p>\n<p>And they dare to tell us that we are &#8220;contemptuous of science&#8221;?\u00a0 What we are contemptuous of is the politicizing of every damn thing on this planet to the point of it being corrupted.\u00a0 Everything they touch ends up being corrupted.\u00a0 Do you know the Journal of the American Medical Association&#8230;? That is a highly respected scientific magazine. The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article that was rooted in the science of Obamacare and the way the satellite exchanges work and the website and all, and you know who wrote it?<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama, who is not a scientist.\u00a0 He\u2019s a politician.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal of the American Medical Association, a once-respected publication of peer reviewed science, has allowed itself to be corrupted by the Democrat Party\u2019s political agenda of the advancement of single-payer health care.\u00a0 Look at the courts.\u00a0 The courts? Corrupted.\u00a0 I can\u2019t&#8230; You can\u2019t look around this country and find an institution&#8230; The churches are becoming corrupt by leftists.\u00a0 Our culture\u2019s corrupted. Marriage has been corrupted. Bathrooms are being corrupted. Everything in the world is being corrupted!<\/p>\n<p>Everything they touch ends up being corrupted.\u00a0 When they run it, they politicize it, and their politics is corruption.\u00a0 There is no way that Barack Obama is a health care expert; he\u2019s not a medical expert. He\u2019s not a scientist.\u00a0 They turned over their pages to him, just like they Nobel Committee gave him a Peace Prize.\u00a0 Can you imagine a Nobel Peace Prize was given to Obama on the come?\u00a0 You think they\u2019d like to take that back?\u00a0 If they had any self-respect, they would have taken it back long ago.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_125021\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ObamacareUnaffordable-1.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>There have been more wars involving this country under Obama\u2019s administration than Bush.\u00a0 We\u2019ve had multiple domestic terror attacks in this country and around the world, all traceable to the foreign policy of the Obama administration with Hillary Clinton at the Department of State.\u00a0 They gave him a peace prize!\u00a0 It\u2019s incredible.\u00a0 Everything they\u2019ve touched is corrupted, and yet we &#8212; conservatives and Republicans &#8212; are the &#8220;outliers.&#8221; We are responsible for all of this because we are the &#8220;new politics of extremism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We are &#8220;unmoved by conventional understanding of facts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What? Facts are not determined by convention.\u00a0 Facts are facts.\u00a0 You don\u2019t get to make up your own facts.\u00a0 It\u2019s just like consensus of science.\u00a0 There can be no science if there\u2019s consensus.\u00a0 Science is isn\u2019t up to a vote!\u00a0 So what the hell is &#8220;conventional understanding of facts&#8221;?\u00a0 Why do facts need understanding?\u00a0 Why do we need conventional&#8230;?\u00a0 I know what they mean by &#8220;conventional&#8221; here, but what they\u2019re trying to say here is: We, on the left, represent the majority of thinking, the majority opinion &#8212; and this is what we think of the facts.<\/p>\n<p>And the Republicans come along and say: You guys are crazy!\u00a0 That\u2019s not what those facts mean.<\/p>\n<p>We are &#8220;contemptuous.&#8221;\u00a0 Therefore, we are contemptuous of the conventional understanding, defined as we don\u2019t agree with liberals.\u00a0 So when we don\u2019t agree with liberals, we are &#8220;contemptuous of conventional,&#8221; because they are what &#8220;is.&#8221; They are what is natural. They are right all the time.

We\u2019re never gonna reach compromise with these people because there is no common understanding, because there is no common sense on any of these positions that they hold because they politicized everything.<\/p>\n<p>So all that\u2019s left is to defeat them.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, in order to write what these guys have written, you have to totally abandon the whole concept of moral authority and morality as it is.\u00a0 So I wanted to put this at the beginning of the program because the left&#8230; This is news outside the convention, and this is big news on the left today.\u00a0 They\u2019re all out there chortling over this.
