Well, maybe not hometown, but he\u2019s there. Becky, how are you?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019m doing great.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Terrific. I\u2019m glad you called. <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Is this Rush?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah, this is Rush. I\u2019m sorry. Yes.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh! Hey, Rush. I just called to say thank you, because I\u2019m 22, and I was raised Southern Democrat. Every member of my family is probably Democrat. But thanks to you, listening to your show, I\u2019ve been able to reform my ways and get a lot of good information &#8212; and I\u2019m now a Republican.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, more importantly, are you a conservative?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Not so much. I\u2019m definitely not a liberal. I guess I consider myself&#8230;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, look, if you\u2019re not a liberal, you\u2019re conservative. <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: There\u2019s an axiom. This is a truth of life.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Any person or organization who is by definition not conservative is, or will become, a liberal &#8211;and the converse is true.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: So you are conservative, and we welcome you to the fold.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Thank you. (Laughing.)<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And I\u2019m happy to take credit for it. How did this happen?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Actually, it would be thanks to my boyfriend.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait a minute. I thought it was thanks to me!<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, he introduced me to your show.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay. So it <emphasize>is <\/emphasize>thanks to me.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes. He listened to your show every morning, and at first when I started listening to you, I really didn\u2019t agree with anything going on, and then I started to read the news a little bit more and take more interest in what was going on, and it really did teach me a lot.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, you people are making my day today. Look at all the converts we have out there. Look at all the converts that are happening here all over! It\u2019s great, Becky. Thanks for the call.
