“The Civil War Is Here,” by Daniel Greenfield<\/a> “a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.” He says, “A civil war has begun. This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. The left doesn\u2019t want to secede,” as the South did. The left “wants to rule. Political conflicts become civil wars when one side refuses to accept the existing authority.<\/p>\n“The left has rejected all forms of authority that it doesn\u2019t control. The left has rejected the outcome of the last two presidential elections won by Republicans. It has rejected the judicial authority of the Supreme Court when it decisions don\u2019t accord with its agenda. It rejects the legislative authority of Congress when it is not dominated by the left. It rejected the Constitution so long ago that it hardly bears mentioning. [The left] was for total unilateral executive authority under Obama. And now it\u2019s for states unilaterally deciding what laws they will follow,” as in sanctuary city and immigration law.<\/p>\n
When Obama\u2019s in the White House, he is the ultimate, final authority, and whatever he says goes, and leftists everywhere fall in line. Which is why you have state governors happy to have the federal government take over health care, happy to have the federal government take over sanctuary cities, immigration, whatever. But when a non-leftist wins, then the left does a 180 and totally supports and invests the state\u2019s unilateral opposition to the authority vested in the Republican presidential winner. So now they are totally behind and for states “unilaterally deciding what laws they will follow.<\/p>\n
“(As long as that involves defying immigration laws under Trump, not following them under Obama.) It was for the sacrosanct authority of the Senate when it held the majority. Then it decried the Senate as an outmoded institution when the Republicans took it over. [The left] was for Obama defying the orders of federal judges, no matter how well grounded in existing law, and it is for Federal judges overriding any order by Trump on any grounds whatsoever.<\/p>\n
“It was for Obama penalizing whistleblowers, but now undermining the government from within has become ‘patriotic\u2019. There is no form of legal authority that the left accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them.<\/p>\n
“But when government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda is in conflict with the president and Congress, that\u2019s not activism, protest, politics or civil disobedience; it\u2019s treason.”<\/p>\n
And that is the bomb that Mr. Greenfield throws and drops in this piece. That what we\u2019re actually in the middle of here is a civil war with the left and its political arm. The Democrat Party is actually committing treason by refusing to accept the authority that the Constitution is in holding together our constitutional republic.<\/p>\n
“After losing Congress, the left consolidated its authority in the White House. After losing the White House, the left shifted its center of authority to Federal judges and unelected government officials.” Think deep state. “Each defeat led the radicalized Democrats to relocate from more democratic to less democratic institutions. This isn\u2019t just hypocrisy. … Hypocrites maneuver within the system. The left has no allegiance to the system. It accepts no laws other than those dictated by its ideology.”<\/p>\n
Remember now, what got me going on this is, if you\u2019re like me, do you ever wonder when all of this is gonna end? Let me phrase it a different way. Do you ever wonder when the day will come the Democrats will accept they lost? Do you ever wonder when the Democrats will accept that Trump is president? And the answer is, they never will. They never will. They will never acknowledge losing the election.<\/p>\n
They will never acknowledge Trump winning the election because they will never acknowledge the authority that the Constitution vests in the outcome of elections. They simply oppose it and resist it when they aren\u2019t the authority. And when they aren\u2019t the authority, they seek ways to behave outside the Constitution and outside those limits of authority in order to subvert and undermine that authority. And, as such, they are not willing participants in a constitutional and representative republic.<\/p>\n
And because of this — and his column is much longer than those things I\u2019ve shared with you — Mr. Greenfield maintains we\u2019re in a civil war. He asks the ultimate question: When do civil wars end? “Civil wars end when one side is forced to accept the authority of the other.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushLiberalism-Sledge-Bubble-muted.jpg\")
Now, that also is what happens after elections. The winners know they won; the losers know they lost, and the losers in our system — our system is premised, our system is dependent, our system requires all of the participants to accept this authority. If all participants don\u2019t, then we have a problem. And if this gets to the point where a majority of our citizens — and we\u2019re not there yet — but if we get to the point where a majority of our citizens happen to think and act like today\u2019s modern leftists and Democrats, then it\u2019s over. If the majority of the Americans refuse to accept the Constitution, refuse to accept its authority — There\u2019s a reason why it isn\u2019t taught.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a reason the founding is not taught, why it\u2019s maligned and impugned. “The left expects everyone to accept its ideological authority,” whether they win elections or not. There\u2019s gonna be gay marriage no matter what the vote is. There\u2019s gonna be transgenders using whatever bathrooms they want no matter what the vote is. There\u2019s gonna be racism as we define it no matter what the vote is. There\u2019s going to be bigotry however we define it, whatever the vote is.<\/p>\n
Whatever the people think, whatever the popular majorities and consensus think, is irrelevant. Even if there is no science supporting climate change, there is going to be climate change, and you will accept it, and you will love it. And if you don\u2019t, you become an enemy of the left. And that\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to be, in their in minds.<\/p>\n
How do Republicans behave when they lose elections? Well, we know all too well. We say, “Hey, they won. They get to pick their judges,” with rare exceptions, such as refusing to grant a hearing to Merrick Garland. But for the most part, I can hear Orrin Hatch saying it. I can hear numerous Republicans, McCain, “Hey, they won the election. They get to choose.” It\u2019s not up to us to oppose every nominee they have. They won the election. They get to choose. That\u2019s what we say.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/650-040517-Limbaugh-Institute.jpg\")
Now, part of that is just a refusal to fight. Part of it is acquiescence to the authority. The left never, ever for a fleeting moment thinks this way. They never think, “You know, Trump won. He gets his judges.” What\u2019s the left say? What\u2019s Chuck Schumer saying? Chuck Schumer says: You want to solve this problem? You let us join you in picking the judges. And that way we will never have a conflict ever again. Well, that\u2019s not what the Constitution says. The president chooses his nominees, and the Senate is there to advise and consent, not to stop, not to define. The Senate is there primarily to make sure that whoever the president\u2019s picked is qualified. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not what it\u2019s become. To the left, they are there to stop everything that winning an election entitles a president to do. As such, Mr. Greenfield says we\u2019re in the middle of a civil war here. We\u2019re not having a political argument. We\u2019ve got a civil war. And we have one faction of our American people who do not want to secede. They want to rule whether they use the Constitution or not. And so how does this end? Well, that remains the big question. But before you get to that, before you get to that “how does it end,” I think part of ending it is educating people to exactly what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
The Democrats are not who they are. The media is not who they are. They\u2019re not interested in fairness or tolerance or equality or any of these buzzwords they throw around. They are authoritarian, totalitarian Stalinists. There\u2019s no compromise. There\u2019s no bipartisanship. None of that is permitted. Not in this modern era.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, I want to go back to the quest that I continue today to try to explain the left. Who they are; why they do what they do; how it can all end; how can they be stopped; how can they be defeated; why do they need to be stopped. When you get to that question, “Do they need to be stopped,” yes, because they\u2019re undermining the country, folks.<\/p>\n
The way liberalism has manifested itself, it\u2019s now become radical leftism. It\u2019s not even liberalism anymore. It is, but it\u2019s gone way, way, way beyond that. And I want to share with your another passage from the column that got me thinking about all this, “The Civil War is Here,” by Daniel Greenfield at Frontpage Mag. He says liberalism and the left, progressivism, is not just hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
You know, you look at Gorsuch, for example. They\u2019re going batty over the idea that Mitch McConnell may pull the trigger on the nuclear option. And people said, “What do you mean? Harry Reid did it for countless hundreds of judges Obama appointed. Aren\u2019t you being a little hypocritical? You\u2019re getting mad we might go nuclear on a Supreme Court nominee when you\u2019ve already gone nuclear on every district court nominee so that Obama could pack the court?”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushLiberalismLIES.jpg\")
And as I\u2019ve always instinctively pointed out, hypocrisy\u2019s not the way to go after these people. Hypocrisy never sticks to them. It never hurts them to be hypocritical because that\u2019s not what they are. This is not really hypocrisy, what they\u2019re doing here and getting away with, in terms of trying to stop the nomination and confirmation of Judge Gorsuch, because hypocrites maneuver within the system.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s left has no allegiance to the system. And that is the point. The left does not accept the system. Even when they win, they are about destroying the system. When they lose, they ignore it and dare you to stop them. The left accepts no law other than law dictated by it\u2019s ideology. He said, do not think of liberalism as activism. Do not think of it as protest. Do not think of liberalism as politics or civil disobedience. It\u2019s none of those things. It is treason, according to Mr. Greenfield, it is treason.<\/p>\n
Now, I love analogies as a way of explaining something. I can imagine that right now you\u2019re saying, “Treason? Rush, you gotta be real careful. You…” I\u2019m quoting Mr. Greenfield for you here, but I still want to try to try to explain this by analogizing the left in America. There is a group that they are very close to. And if I just said so, it would shock you. I\u2019m going to try to explain it after saying so. The way the left behaves today — in virtually everything that they do — do you realize how close it is to radical Islam?<\/p>\n
You know, minus the terrorism. Let\u2019s look at the similarities. For the kind of Islamists we\u2019re talking about, the Sharia Islamists, there is no authority but Islam. To the left, there is no authority but themselves. They respect and recognize no other authority. They don\u2019t recognize the authority of elections. They don\u2019t recognize the authority of public opinion. They don\u2019t recognize the authority of the Constitution, even though they all swear an oath. Why do you think we require everybody in government to swear an oath to the Constitution?<\/p>\n
‘Cause that\u2019s glue, folks. That\u2019s the glue that keeps everything together. The reason all of these oaths of office and oaths of naturalization require pledging fidelity to the Constitution is that that is supposed to be the compact that unites all of us. Winning or losing, we are united as Americans, defined by our Constitution. Swearing the oath announces the understandings based on which we become “we, the people.” If you have a huge movement in the country that\u2019s not just rejecting but actively undermining the Constitution, then it becomes a real question.<\/p>\n
And once that group becomes big enough — a majority of the population — then it becomes questionable whether we even have a “we, the people” anymore. And this behavior is very, very close to Sharia Islam. There is no authority but Islam. It\u2019s a core tenet: The ruler must be obeyed as long as he complies and enforces Sharia. And if the rural abandons Sharia, they assassinate him like in the case of Anwar Sadat or Mubarak. Now, they don\u2019t do assassinations here, but if the left\u2019s leader abandons them, you know what happens to them.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re immediately forgotten, destroyed, cast aside, and ruined. But here, let me try it a different way. If Islamists are in the role of Democrats in my analogy, Americans assume the role of the GOP. We proclaim that our commitment to tolerance means that we have to make room at the table even for Islamists and people we disagree with. Notwithstanding that they deny our right to govern ourselves under our own principles. In other words, you\u2019ve heard people say, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.”\u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/RushConstitution4.jpg\")
That\u2019s because in a “we, the people” situation we have to tolerate those who disagree with us. We have to tolerate those. We\u2019re not supposed to cave in to them, but if there is a mutual respect for authority. Of course, Sharia Islam is never gonna accept the U.S. Constitution. The American left doesn\u2019t, either, when it goes against them. Maybe if you look at the Islamist analogy, it could be somewhat easier to understand the American left. It\u2019s not that Islamists have no respect for authority. It\u2019s that they believe there is no authority outside them. They clearly granted Obama all the authority in the world, and they were gonna grant Hillary all the authority in the world. But that\u2019s within their system.<\/p>\n
But they\u2019re never gonna grant George W. Bush the authority.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re never gonna acknowledge the authority of Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re never, ever going to do that.<\/p>\n
I have to take a break. Hang on.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: My point is to the left, the Democrat Party, the media — however you want to describe \u2019em — everything but what they believe and everything but who they believe is illegitimate. There is no crossing the aisle. There is no compromise. There is no working together to prove Washington or government works. There is only one way. When they are in power, they pretend it\u2019s because their beliefs are a popular mandate. But that is disproven every time they lose. Their views cannot be the result of a popular mandate; otherwise, they would never lose elections.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/LiberalismRush-Blackboard-DECONSTRUCTING-LIBERALISM-2-1.jpg\")
When they lose elections — when they\u2019re not in power — their beliefs dictate that everything else must be delegitimized, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re seeing today. Everything about this Russian collusion and everything about Susan Rice and all of these investigations and the leaking, it\u2019s all about delegitimizing the duly elected, constitutionally legal president and Congress. It\u2019s about delegitimizing that. It\u2019s not about working with them. It\u2019s not about them having a head case and not understanding yet that they lost. It\u2019s not about that they\u2019re gonna come to their senses down the road.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not that they\u2019re emotionally unstable and are one day gonna realize they lost and they are gonna come back to the table. That\u2019s not who they are anymore. This is not your dad\u2019s Democrat Party. That Democrat Party of the sixties and seventies? It\u2019s gone. It has been radicalized, and it is like Sharia Islam. There is nothing else, and there\u2019s no room for anything else. And if you aren\u2019t with them, then you are never to be even acknowledged. You are to be delegitimized. You are to be destroyed. Pure and simple. There is no compromise. There is no bipartisanship.<\/p>\n
There is always a pretense that they represent the popular mandate, when they very rarely really do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: My earlier question: “How do civil wars end?” Well, they only end is when one side is forced to accept the authority of the other. If you look at the Civil War, the actual Civil War, the South wanted to secede. The left does not want to secede. They want to take over and eliminate the Constitution or rewrite it to reflect what they believe and call it the same thing. They don\u2019t want to secede. So how do you get to the point where they accept the authority that is the Constitution and just end what…<\/p>\n
‘Cause look, this battle is never ending. It doesn\u2019t end when they lose elections. It never does. It doesn\u2019t change when they lose elections, right? I mean, they don\u2019t change. The media doesn\u2019t change. Republicans win the elections, but it\u2019s still the biggest battle in the world. It\u2019s every bit the battle as when Republicans are in the minority. It\u2019s every bit as big. It just changes. But elections don\u2019t end it. Elections do not defeat them. Just some things to think about here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
