RUSH: Now to the phones. We go to Austin, Texas. This is Matt. Nice to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I love you, and I\u2019ll tell you why. In regards to that poll that shows the mental health of Republicans being superior to others.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think wiser words were never said, and you are what you eat. And these poor liberals have been fed a steady diet of doom and guilt and fear, and it shows.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not to mention that a lot of them — look at literally what they eat. They may as well be eating Styrofoam. Everything to them is green this and green that. But your point is well taken.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, and also, on the other hand, why I thank you is that you have put us on your special diet of optimism and hope and just like your cat, it not only builds up our health, but helps us resist catching these terrible diseases these liberals have.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. Thanks very much. You know, I\u2019m going to say, I maybe should change the word from optimism and hope — I mean I like the words — but, really, what I have is confidence. I have confidence in this country. I have confidence, I really do, in a majority of the people in this country. I obviously have confidence in myself, and I\u2019ll tell you what, folks, I have confidence in you. Because people like you are the ones that make the country work, not liberal Democrat politicians, and not their wards of the state who are sitting out there siphoning as much as they can out of what everybody else produces. I\u2019m confident. Now, it doesn\u2019t mean that we don\u2019t have battles and so forth. What really disturbs me, do you realize how many millions of Americans who will never realize their potential as human beings because they vote Democrat, they vote liberal, because they believe in that stuff, because they allow themselves to become victims and think they\u2019re entitled, think everybody else ought to do something for them simply because they\u2019re Americans. <\/p>\n

This is an attitude that\u2019s fostered on them from when they grow up by their liberal Democrat parents. Liberal Democrat politicians then reinforce it. It\u2019s all based on inequality and how unfair that is. It is polluting, and there are millions of Americans who will never realize their dreams, will never realize their full potential, will never realize the joy and the thrill of pursuing those dreams because they\u2019re not even going to try, because nobody has any expectations of them, least of all, themselves. The people they vote for are as responsible for that as their parents or anybody else. And so it\u2019s understandable. Your life has no meaning? You think your life has no sense of purpose, so what do you do? Well, you glom onto meaningless hoaxes like global warming, or the anti-war movement, or animal rights, any of these other little namby-pamby causes. These groups are comprised for the most part of miserable, unhappy people who have no meaning or substance in their lives and are desperately seeking it, and they have no idea that it\u2019s all inside them. It\u2019s not in a cause. It\u2019s not in an issue. It\u2019s right inside themselves. But they don\u2019t know that, nobody\u2019s ever told them. Maybe somebody\u2019s told them, they just reject it, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

All I\u2019m telling you is that I\u2019m confident, and I really think with the right kind of leadership — you remember back in the eighties, when Reagan was president, I remember watching people be interviewed by the Drive-Bys, and I remember hearing over and over again from different people, ‘Ronald Reagan makes me feel good about myself.\u2019 They weren\u2019t saying, ‘Ronald Reagan makes me feel good to be an American,\u2019 some of them might have said that — ‘makes me feel good about myself.\u2019 Now, it wasn\u2019t that Reagan was personally in contact with these people, but he had an ability to connect, and it was his sunny disposition and his love and cheer, joy for America that made people feel proud. How in the world can anybody who is listening in great detail to any Democrat today describe this country, either domestically or internationally, feel good about themselves, much less about their country? So I guess my optimism — I mean, it\u2019s optimism that I have, but confidence is more appropriate I think as a term here to describe my attitude about this country and the future. I\u2019m empathizing. I know what you\u2019re saying out there as you\u2019re listening. ‘Yeah, what if the Democrats win?\u2019 We got a problem, but we can overcome it. We\u2019ve overcome liberal Democrats before. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
