RUSH: Joe in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just fine, sir, never better.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First-time caller, I\u2019ve been listening to you since the very beginning.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. My question was, you know, I\u2019ve been voting since Jimmy Carter, and I voted for Jimmy Carter in the beginning, \u2019til my eyes were opened up when Ronald Reagan came in, but I\u2019ve just been thinking lately that I\u2019m starting to see George Bush as the Republican Party\u2019s Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why? What do you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, Rush, I remember some years ago listening to you, working, you know, construction and everything, had my headphones on all the time, and you were saying how you believed that George Bush was trying to govern to destroy the Democratic Party. But I think he\u2019s been doing everything in his power almost to destroy the Republican Party the way he\u2019s been governing the past seven years. That\u2019s just my own perception. I think he\u2019s a good man. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s like a Jimmy Carter or something, but for us in the Republican Party, we who are conservative, we just have strong ideals for our leadership. We want them to govern in ways that are really going to benefit our nation and our country. And for myself, who has been voting Republican all these years now, I\u2019ve just really become disheartened with the leadership that\u2019s in Washington, especially with George Bush, when I think and I know that he could be doing much greater. I do believe that the man has the potential, but just in my heart and everything, I just, you know, he\u2019s been failing us as a people and as a country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I understand a lot of people have your view, but Bush has got a year. What are you going to do about it? I guess what I\u2019m saying is I\u2019m a little curious as to the timing of your call. Is this tied to an issue that\u2019s out there now, something that\u2019s got you upset, or is it just overall, in general?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, four years ago I went into business on my own because I had two sons who I thought would do great in that business, and at 50 years of age I made a big effort to go out when I had it made where I was and everything, sacrificed everything, chucked everything to start a business. And now when I see the things that are coming down through Washington that are affecting me as a businessman and everything, I get tremendously discouraged. I look at George Bush, who would have the potential — I own an excavating business now, started out with two employees, I\u2019m up to 15, and growing. And now when I see these fuel prices, okay, I understand what you\u2019re saying about as far as let the market forces govern, stuff like that. But why, as an American, should it be like Europe? Why do I have to pay five dollars a gallon for oil like the rest of the world? We are America. We should be doing things better and greater for our country and stuff like that. And as a businessman, I think my eyes are just being opened up to how the government is governing my life. And just one other little thing, Rush. I look at the war, I see how George Bush — and I agree with the war. I\u2019m for it 100%. We have to fight this battle and everything. But he has all these guts and all this ambition to go out and send our forces over to the Middle East. Why isn\u2019t he fighting this battle back here in America? I think there\u2019s a bigger battle going on over in America. I think it\u2019s time that we stopped fighting this conventional war in America and start bringing up some special warfare in America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is why I say that the presidential election is going to be about the future. It\u2019s interesting, I thought when I saw your call up on the board, and asked me if he was Jimmy Carter, I thought you would be talking about the Annapolis conference today involving the Middle East. So you kind of surprised me here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I really thought Joe in Allentown, when he made this comparison of Bush to Jimmy Carter, was going to be talking about the Annapolis peace summit or conference today between the Palestinians and the Israelis. I was totally blindsided by where he went, his disaffection and anger at Bush; the price of gasoline, he said, is five bucks a gallon. We\u2019re not paying five bucks a gallon. I understood his point. American exceptionalism seems to be on the wane. Joe, I know you\u2019re still out there, and I have to be honest here about something. I don\u2019t do well with calls like yours, and I\u2019ve had a couple lately. We\u2019ve had one from a similar guy in Arizona, a small businessman who would not tell me what business he was in, but he was railing about the difficulties he\u2019s having staying in business and it was largely because of Republicans and the Bush administration and so forth. My problem is — I don\u2019t want to insult you two guys. I\u2019m sure the guy in Arizona is still listening. I\u2019m sure Joe in Allentown is. The reason that I don\u2019t do well with those kinds of calls is because I don\u2019t do well with whiners. We conservatives are not whiners. We\u2019re doers!<\/p>\n

Life is hard. It\u2019s got roadblocks. It\u2019s got obstacles. It\u2019s got challenges to it. It\u2019s got liberals in it, and it\u2019s got government, whoever is running it. The difference between liberals and conservatives is: We don\u2019t sit around and whine about things. We do whatever is necessary to get past these obstacles, because whining doesn\u2019t accomplish anything, and complaining. I realize we all have to vent, but it\u2019s sort of like saying you feel sorry for somebody. Good. What\u2019s that going to do for \u2019em? A little show of affection, ‘I feel so sorry,\u2019 good. That\u2019s great, but now what are you going to do? Life is action! It\u2019s not a spectator sport, and we conservatives do not go around feeling sorry. We lament the fact that government\u2019s in our way and we try to do everything we can to elect people that will get government out of our way, but sometimes they don\u2019t. We don\u2019t give up and start whining about it. We kick \u2019em out, and we replace \u2019em with new people, or else they quit on their own, so they can become lobbyists a year before the rules change. (No names mentioned here.) But the point is that Bush has got one year to go, and I don\u2019t know what the point was. Are you going to vote Democrat, Joe? <\/p>\n

Are you going to vote independent? For whatever is going on that\u2019s made you unhappy now, it\u2019s only going to get worse if the other side, if the Democrats get in. You think you\u2019ve got obstacles to running your business now — that\u2019s the nature of government. It grows and it intercedes and it wants to take more and more control via regulation and a number of other things, as we all know. So I don\u2019t know what… We do have a great war that we\u2019re fighting here, but I may have a different definition of the war we\u2019re fighting. I think the war we\u2019re fighting in this war in this country is against liberals. The war that we\u2019re fighting here is against the media, who are trying to secure America\u2019s defeat, who are trying to promote in the minds of as many Americans as possible that there is no such thing anymore as American exceptionalism. They\u2019re trying to pollute and poison the minds of the American people into believing their country\u2019s better days are behind them, and we have no future, and it\u2019s bleak and it\u2019s miserable. I have no patience for that because it, A, isn\u2019t true — and I get very frustrated, when people fall prey to the old conventional wisdom about that.<\/p>\n

Because we\u2019re a bunch of doers. Anybody can sit around and complain about what is and then blame the president for it. But I want you to ask yourselves, folks: Just how much impact on a daily basis in your business or your life does any elected official have, as opposed to the impact on it you can have? Now, I\u2019m not being Pollyannaish here, because there are differences. A liberal politician in charge is going to be a much greater obstacle than, say, a conservative or somebody else. We\u2019ve had liberals in power, in my lifetime; we\u2019ve had Republicans in power, and throughout my lifetime, people have prospered, and they have done what\u2019s necessary to do so. We\u2019re involved in politics, and we\u2019re interested in politics primarily because we each, as individuals, have a vision for the future of the country, and we realize that there is a government, and we realize it has to be led. We also realize that a lot of people in the country have to be led, that they\u2019re not self-starters and so we want leaders that reflect our world view and our core beliefs and principles. When we don\u2019t get them, we think, ‘Oh, my gosh, we\u2019re in trouble. Ah, everything is going to hell in a handbasket,\u2019 but it never really does. However, we\u2019re at a point now where I think a lot of people are really, truly worried about what the future of the country will be, given the election of the Clintons.<\/p>\n

For example, if they get back in or John Edwards, it\u2019s going to be much tougher to overcome these people because these people are the kind of people that only want power in government; they want power over as many citizens as possible. Now, Joe says his business is growing. He\u2019s gone from two to 15 employees, and we have all kinds of great economic news to report. I don\u2019t know how much Joe\u2019s attitude is based on his actual day-to-day experience with his business, or how much of it\u2019s due to his exposure to Drive-By Media each and every day that is causing his attitude to be challenged. But I\u2019m not going to try to talk anybody out of the attitude they have. Your attitude is yours, your feelings are yours, and I don\u2019t own them. So I\u2019m not going to try to change them in a wag-my-finger-in-your-face business. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Yes. (interruption) Well, I understand. There\u2019s the fear at the housing, the mortgage thing, and the oil price going up. There\u2019s fear, but the reason for the fear is, you have no control over it! You always have more comfort in life over things that you can control. Like, for example, once your kids get certain age, you can\u2019t control \u2019em and everyday is a crapshoot, you just hope and pray. Right? You just hope and pray. Same thing here. <\/p>\n

I understand the oil business and so forth, and the subprime and the mortgage, the credit crunch. When those things happen, I just rely on my experience. I\u2019m 56 years old. I just rely on history, my own life\u2019s history and the history that occurred before I was born, and I look where the country is today versus where it was in the sixties, versus where it was in the seventies. We had all those gasoline lines. Look, when I turned 16 and was driving age, gasoline was 25 cents a gallon and there were gas wars. Now, this was 1969-70. Two years later gasoline was a buck. Now, you go from 25 cents to a dollar in two years, that\u2019s a huge, significant percentage increase in terms of the impact on the budget, the average family budget. Even with the price being a buck, there were gas lines, and that was Panic City, because you have to have gasoline in your car — and then they went to rationing on various days. When I lived in Pittsburgh, stations open two hours a day. They were open every other day, or what have you. We all have these fears because you can\u2019t control \u2019em. But these situations, with the right people in charge… Look, Reagan got rid of the gas lines. Jimmy Carter didn\u2019t. <\/line>It matters who wins elections. I\u2019m not saying that it doesn\u2019t. But as individuals, we can\u2019t get up every day and look whatever direction Washington is from your house and bow down and pray to them to do the right thing. All I\u2019m saying is: You have more control over your life and your future and how to deal with these obstacles than you realize, and if you just learn to get hold of and grasp that concept, just the idea of being able to take action to deal with it, and sometimes it\u2019s not going to work, nothing works all the time, there are going to be ups and downs — and that\u2019s the point. But for every down there is a corresponding up that\u2019s going to happen down the road, and when the up happens, we\u2019re generally better off than we were when the previous down occurred. I don\u2019t mean to preach here, folks, and I don\u2019t mean to get on Joe, and I don\u2019t mean to get on the other guy. Perhaps ‘whining\u2019 is not the best word. I\u2019m really talking about myself. I just don\u2019t do well with people who complain, I don\u2019t know what to say. (interruption) Well, I mean to them, when they\u2019re on the phone, because we all want to be sympathetic when somebody\u2019s whining and complaining about something. But after awhile, if they keep whining and complaining about the same thing, you lose patience, right? Well, I\u2019ve had 20 years of listening to whining here.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: David in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, you\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you here with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: To respond to Joe\u2019s comments — you might remember him as the Debbie Downer call from about an hour ago.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, from Allentown.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Allentown. Listen, I got a love for him because I\u2019m from Harrisburg, PA, but it ends about there. I\u2019m a 24-year-old Reagan conservative Christian, and next to my faith in Christ, the one thing I attribute every ounce of success to in my life is surrounding myself with unbelievably optimistic people — and you, my friend, are number one on my list. Thank God for you, Rush, for being so optimistic about life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. That\u2019s nice of you to say. I want to say something about this, too, because a lot of people accuse me of being…well, not artificially optimistic. What do they say? ‘Well, of course! Look at your life. Who wouldn\u2019t be optimistic with your life? It must be easy for you,\u2019 which, I understand, for people on the outside looking in. If you see only this portion of my life, and don\u2019t know what came before it, then you might form that impression. Other people also say, ‘You know, optimism is good but not when it\u2019s phony. If you\u2019re going to sit around and tell people things that aren\u2019t true just to make \u2019em feel good, that\u2019s not good.\u2019 Well, that\u2019s not what I do. I try to point out what genuinely is positive and to find the positive in most everything because I\u2019ve just learned in life that that makes for a happier life, and I frankly don\u2019t think there\u2019s any virtue in misery. (interruption) Ummm. (interruption) Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I\u2019ve got the staff saying most people… I don\u2019t think I should repeat that. That\u2019s awfully self-serving. (interruption) See, that\u2019s the kind of thing somebody else ought to say, not me. I can\u2019t say that kind of thing. This is why they don\u2019t have microphones. You don\u2019t…? (interruption) Let me tell you something: If I say this stuff, it\u2019s going to sound the most self-serving. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Mmm-hmm. All right, okay. The staff is trying to get me to talk about is this optimism business and people looking at my life, just this slice of it, the what you know now, ‘Yeah, why, I\u2019d be optimistic, too, if I had your life and so forth,\u2019 and my staff is all saying, ‘We wouldn\u2019t want your life,\u2019 and what they\u2019re meaning by that is: ‘Look, you are hated, and you get lied about, and you get trashed. They try to destroy you out there,\u2019 and Snerdley just said, ‘Most people couldn\u2019t handle your life. They couldn\u2019t deal with the negative aspects of it,\u2019 but that\u2019s awfully self-serving for me to say. It really is. (interruption) Yeah, that\u2019s true, but that\u2019s the kind of thing other people ought to say. Regardless, despite all of that, one of the reasons I\u2019m optimistic is because look where I am, given all that that happens and has happened. So, David, I appreciate your comment. I just don\u2019t believe that there is virtue in misery. I just don\u2019t think… You run around being miserable all the time, that\u2019s liberals. They\u2019re incapable of being happy, and look at \u2019em! They\u2019re literally miserable. We all only get one life, folks — and there\u2019s enough suffering in life without making your own, which is what way too many of us do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
