Is it Folsom, California? Is that where you are?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; That\u2019s right.&nbsp; Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Great to have you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; So earlier, you were talking about how the left was in kind of a state of chaos, and it got me thinking about my friends on the left.&nbsp; And most of them are actually really truly smart people.&nbsp; They\u2019re from like MIT, Brown, Urbana, and have really tough technical jobs.&nbsp; But as smart as they are, they rely solely on the mainstream media for the truth.&nbsp; You know, you try to offer them something from the right, and they\u2019ll pick it apart and they\u2019ll research the living heck out of it. But they\u2019ll rely on the Washington Post and CNN, and anything they say is gospel.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130888\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Rush-Blackboard-DECONSTRUCTING-LIBERALISM-3.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH:&nbsp; New York Times, yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; So I guess&#8230; You know, how can smart people be so blind to things that are obvious to me, like the day Obamacare was announced?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; You know, this is a brilliant question.&nbsp; I should say the answer to it offers the opportunity for brilliancy. It\u2019s a great, great, great, great question, and I\u2019ll tell you something.&nbsp; I have pondered it myself.&nbsp; I remember back in 1985, for some reason, I found myself reading an issue of Playboy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And there was an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abebooks.com\/PLAYBOY-JANUARY-1985-VOL-Goldie-Hawn\/14781991021\/bd\">article in that issue of Playboy by William F. Buckley entitled, &#8220;Redefining Smart.&#8221;<\/a>&nbsp; And he took on what I thought was a giant premise of how do we define smart today?&nbsp; Not IQ.&nbsp; That\u2019s one way of measuring it.&nbsp; A really smart guy, high IQ, but you\u2019ve just described things that are not smart.&nbsp; Your guys may be Ivy League educated, but they\u2019re not smart.&nbsp; Their minds are closed, actually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The direct answer to your question is prejudice.&nbsp; What prevents them from seeing anything other than what they already believe is prejudice.&nbsp; They\u2019re literally prejudiced, they\u2019re closed-minded because they are arrogant superiorists, and that can only mean that they\u2019re liberals.&nbsp; They\u2019re not open to anything else, and not only are they not open, they openly denigrate people who are thinking in ways other than the way they do.&nbsp; I don\u2019t think that\u2019s smart.&nbsp; I don\u2019t think there is anything smart about that.&nbsp; That\u2019s educated, and that\u2019s a problem with education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130875\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Playboy.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">They are highly educated, as you just said, they come from these Ivy League schools, but so do the media people that they are reading and listening to.&nbsp; The New York Times is filled with Ivy League graduates and so is the Washington Post.&nbsp; I mean, it\u2019s all the same club.&nbsp; They actually are mind-numbed robots.&nbsp; They have been programmed all their lives.&nbsp; They\u2019re not even thinkers.&nbsp; If you want to know the truth, Barry, they\u2019re not thinkers.&nbsp; These are people who have been programmed to believe what they believe.&nbsp; They are committed believers, not thinkers.&nbsp; And that\u2019s what your problem is.&nbsp; How can these people be so smart?&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re really asking is how can people be so closed-minded and not even question things, not even think about things.&nbsp; And when do you think it was &#8212; this kind of question fascinates me &#8212; at what point in human history, when was the last time it was possible for any human being to know everything that was known at that time?&nbsp; For example, it is humanly impossible for any human being to know everything now.&nbsp; So how are we gonna define smart?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You have to go back to before the printing press, you have to go back &#8212; Buckley worked this out.&nbsp; It was in the story.&nbsp; You have to go back centuries to find somebody about whom it was capable of knowing everything that was known at the time.&nbsp; Whatever it is, mathematics, science.&nbsp; You have to go back a hell of a long time when we didn\u2019t know anything to find somebody who knew it all.&nbsp; It\u2019s not possible to get even close to knowing it all, so how do we define smart?&nbsp; I\u2019d submit to you we\u2019re redefining it, misdefining it.&nbsp; We are assigning smart to the all-wrong people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s another reason we are in the trouble that we\u2019re in.&nbsp; We were just assuming because people come from certain institutions, that they\u2019re automatically smart if they graduated.&nbsp; And I submit to you that is not the case.&nbsp; I know people that didn\u2019t see college one day that are smarter than anybody else I know, just in terms of the ability to critically think, to understand, common sense, to open-mindedly learn and accept what will learn as what is and what to question or what not to question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is so much closed-mindedness, there is so much closed-off thought, there is so much bigotry and prejudice within knowledge that it, I think, is stunting the actual intelligence growth of our population. Not our capabilities but our actual intelligence growth because all of the stigma that\u2019s attached to people that don\u2019t have formal educations as opposed to those who do.&nbsp; But the people that have formal educations have been programmed and indoctrinated in many cases, not in all the disciplines.&nbsp; I mean there\u2019s some graduates that, medical school, you have to know it, for example.&nbsp; You have to know it.&nbsp; And they make sure you know it before they turn you loose, if you\u2019re a practitioner.&nbsp; Look, before I go, Barry, would you like a brand-new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; That would be amazing.&nbsp; Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; What kind of phone do you have now, Bare?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; I have a AT&#038;T 6.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; So do you like that size or do you want a bigger screen?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Getting older, I\u2019d love a bigger screen.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Oh, right.&nbsp; So you\u2019re AT&#038;T.&nbsp; Do you have a color preference?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &nbsp;Black, but not really.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; I can accommodate whatever color you want.&nbsp; If you want black, we have black.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; That\u2019d be great.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Black AT&#038;T iPhone 7 Plus.&nbsp; Hang on and Mr. Snerdley will get your address so we can FedEx it to you for tomorrow delivery. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; So I got this smart aleck email during the break reacting to my comments from the guy who wanted to know why his liberal Harvard and Ivy League educated guys are so stupid.&nbsp; I\u2019ll share the email, paraphrase the email.&nbsp; I got the San Francisco thing here, and the whole idea of Ford keeping their product manufacturing here and Apple thinking of bringing it here.&nbsp; It\u2019s amazing what\u2019s going on here.<\/p>\n<p>JOHNNY DONOVAN:&nbsp; And now, from sunny south Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; That\u2019s right.&nbsp; One exciting, busy broadcast hour remains.&nbsp; Je suis fatigue, El Rushbo here behind the Golden EIB Microphone, at 800-282-2882.&nbsp; And if you want to send an email, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So this guy sends me a note.&nbsp; He says, &#8220;You\u2019re the one that\u2019s arrogant.&nbsp; You sit here and you claim they\u2019re wrong and you\u2019re right, that they\u2019re programmed, that they\u2019re not really thinking, but you never see their way, you never agree with them.&nbsp; You\u2019re just like them.&nbsp; You just won\u2019t be honest about it.&#8221;&nbsp; Signed, know-it-all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let me tell you the difference. I am a conservative.&nbsp; I have said I don\u2019t know how many times, conservatism is an intellectual pursuit.&nbsp; And by that I mean liberalism\u2019s easy.&nbsp; Liberalism is the most gutless, easy choice. It\u2019s not even a choice.&nbsp; Liberalism is just, you feel it.&nbsp; And there\u2019s nothing hard about it at all.&nbsp; You don\u2019t even have to do anything.&nbsp; You just have to notice suffering and talk about how it. (crying) And you\u2019re a great, big-hearted, compassionate person.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130891\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/RushEducation.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">You haven\u2019t done diddly-squat about it. In fact, you may even be the cause of it, but you get all this credit for compassion and caring but you don\u2019t have to do anything, and you don\u2019t ever have to propose solutions.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Just the acknowledgment of the suffering alone makes you a good person.&nbsp; But here\u2019s the big difference.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Conservatism, I believe, happens to be what happens when people behave according to a certain moral code, a certain sense of right and wrong, people that are accepting responsibility for themselves. Conservatism is what happens when you\u2019re a good citizen.&nbsp; But here\u2019s the real difference.&nbsp; Those guys that he was talking about, all these Harvard and Brown and other Ivy League educated people, they can\u2019t tell me one thing about me because they haven\u2019t even gone to the trouble to learn what I believe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They believe in nothing but caricatures of all conservatives.&nbsp; They\u2019re such superiorists and such closed-minded people, they don\u2019t even take the time to really understand what I as a conservative or you really think and why, but I can tell you everything about them.&nbsp; I can tell you more about them than they know about themselves.&nbsp; I have studied it.&nbsp; My arrival at conservatism is the result of actually thinking and considering the two and following my instincts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is nobody better at deconstructing liberals than me.&nbsp; If there is, I haven\u2019t met \u2019em.&nbsp; This is not a brag.&nbsp; It\u2019s a statement of fact.&nbsp; Because I\u2019ve spent my life studying them so that I can predict them, so that I can warn people, because liberalism is destructive, as we\u2019ve seen in the last eight years, as we\u2019ve seen our whole lives.&nbsp; Aspects of liberalism in this country under its control are in rotten shape, they\u2019re in horrible, rotten shape, and the people that live under liberal control are miserable and unhappy and constantly enraged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can explain why.&nbsp; I can tell any liberal why he or she thinks what they think.&nbsp; I can predict to them what their reaction to any event or person is going to be, because I know them, because I have taken the time because I\u2019m curious to study it.&nbsp; I know what liberalism is. I know from where it springs and derives, and I know the vast majority of people who are liberals, what they are going to do, say, and think about.&nbsp; Pick a subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t get close to doing the same with me because they think it\u2019s even beneath them to know.&nbsp; They\u2019re so closed-minded and so superiorist and so prejudiced that conservatism to them is something so weird and odd, and what do they think it is?&nbsp; It\u2019s evil stuff.&nbsp; It\u2019s racist.&nbsp; It\u2019s sexist.&nbsp; It\u2019s bigoted.&nbsp; Why do they think that?&nbsp; They don\u2019t think it.&nbsp; Because it isn\u2019t true.&nbsp; It\u2019s not something you can know.&nbsp; If you believe that, you are wrong, and you are not smart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_130893\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/RushLimbaughInstituteLibVsAmericanism.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">But don\u2019t tell them that.&nbsp; They haven\u2019t taken the time and they never will take the time.&nbsp; Go look at what any liberal says about anybody they disagree with, and especially conservatives, the first thing you\u2019re gonna hear them talk about is hate, too much hate.&nbsp; Then you\u2019ll hear racist, and then bigoted, and automatically homophobic, intolerant.&nbsp; Just go down the list.&nbsp; And they all believe it about any conservative alive.&nbsp; And, in many of their cases, about any Republican alive.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t think it because they haven\u2019t arrived at their viewpoint by virtue of thought, and they don\u2019t think it because they haven\u2019t arrived at that point of view by virtue of actual experience.&nbsp; They have just accepted the indoctrination or the programming that they have been subjected to their whole lives about conservatives.&nbsp; As such, they are afraid of conservatism and conservatives, greatly afraid.&nbsp; They have tremendous fear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the lack of curiosity they have to even try to understand it, is why I think there will never be a unity. They don\u2019t want there to be.&nbsp; We\u2019re the ones that talk about crossing the aisle \u2019cause we\u2019re good people and we actually do want them to be right about us.&nbsp; They\u2019re not interested.&nbsp; They\u2019re not interested in anything that promotes friendship, comity, getting along.&nbsp; They are discriminatory, they are prejudicial, they are bigoted, and yet that\u2019s what they throw around about everybody else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are the shining examples of all of those things, liberals are.&nbsp; The more committed, the worse.&nbsp; Many liberals don\u2019t even know what liberalism is.&nbsp; They\u2019re just following the train \u2019cause it\u2019s the safest way to go.&nbsp; So that\u2019s the big difference in why I\u2019m not one of those Ivy League guys that our caller was talking about, \u2019cause I can explain everything there is about them, and I can tell you exactly why I would never be a liberal, why I couldn\u2019t be one, why I would not be able to live with myself if I were.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t get close to explaining to me why they\u2019re liberals.&nbsp; They can\u2019t even tell you what\u2019s great about it. Other than surface oriented, feel-good stuff, they don\u2019t even know what it is, \u2019cause if they did and they\u2019re that smart, they wouldn\u2019t be liberals if they knew what it really was.&nbsp; If they ever took the time to admit what really happens when liberals control things, they would never do it, they would never be one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, Mr. Limbaugh, how do they sit there and stay liberals when they\u2019re destroying things?&#8221;&nbsp; They don\u2019t think they are.&nbsp; It\u2019s our fault that they\u2019re not succeeding or there\u2019s not enough money or the right enough people haven\u2019t been in charge. Liberalism\u2019s greatness and utopia, it\u2019s always way out there in the future, like everything they believe.&nbsp; It\u2019s always way out there and there\u2019s always obstacles in their way. Every failure they have is our fault.&nbsp; Same thing with every issue of theirs.&nbsp; They\u2019re gonna fix everything in 50 years.&nbsp; They\u2019re gonna fix everything in 30 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Climate change, you name it, nothing will ever get fixed in the present day because subconsciously they know that it isn\u2019t gonna get fixed because what they believe in doesn\u2019t work.&nbsp; I can say all of this about them from a completely informed and educated point of view.&nbsp; They can\u2019t talk about me as a conservative this way for 10 seconds.&nbsp; So there.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Barry in Folsom, California.
