RUSH: Back to the phones we go, to Columbus, Nebraska. Victor, it\u2019s great to have you, sir. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Real good. And I thank you so much for taking my call. I\u2019ve been trying to get on for so many years, and again I want to thank you for all you do. You know, you\u2019ve been a big part of my life the last 30 years. I go back to The Way Things Ought to Be and See, I Told You So and all the way back. But beside the point, I want to thank you for what you\u2019ve meant to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"My wife passed away last October the 8th, and I tell you, you were a big part of helping me through the whole deal. We were married 58 years, and I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without you. Every day I listen to you, and God bless you, you\u2019re always in my prayers. And I can go on politics for a long time, but I know we got a short thing there, and I just can\u2019t believe — I told all my friends I try every day and today I got in, and it just means so much to me. And you mean so much to our country. God, I tell you, if we didn\u2019t have you, we would be in trouble. Okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. God bless you, sir. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. God bless you. Okay. You got anything else?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You called here. Is that what you wanted to say?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, like I said, I could go on. I tell you, when I think about —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what\u2019s bugging you about politics? I mean, you say could talk about politics. What\u2019s bugging you about it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, there\u2019s a lot of things. Number one, things have changed in the last eight years from Obama to all the interruptions we have, not only racially but otherwise, our whole country has changed so much. And the Dems and the media are just all in line for them, and they don\u2019t give President Trump a breath of air. They\u2019re just on him constantly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know exactly what you\u2019re talking about. When you talk about the eight years of Obama, let me see if I can voice this, because I\u2019ve tried to say the same thing. We had the eight years of Bush, and I\u2019ve always known the left is there. And I\u2019ve always known that liberalism is liberalism. But seemingly within three months of the Obama inauguration, this country, it\u2019s like a bunch of radical, anti-American leftists seemed to materialize on the spot. And Obama seemed to be what was responsible for making them feel comfortable enough to do so. It\u2019s not that I didn\u2019t know they were there. It\u2019s that I didn\u2019t know we had — I don\u2019t know how to say it — I didn\u2019t know we had gotten that close to losing the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"We had just had a Republican president for eight years, and I knew that because of the damage they did to Bush that a Republican was not gonna win in 2008, I don\u2019t care who the nominee had been. And it rips my heart apart. It rips me apart to see what these people are doing to the country. It just rips me apart that people hate this place. I don\u2019t emotionally understand it. Intellectually, you have to. You have to intellectually understand it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s some crazed people who have been propagandized from very formative young ages with multiculturalism and identity politics to where they genuinely hate this country. They genuinely think this country is the problem in the world. And I was just shocked and stunned by how prevalent it seemed to be. And I was shocked and stunned to see how much of the Democrat Party had been taken over by that kind of radical thinking.<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I was unprepared for it. It\u2019s a fine line. I knew they were there. I knew that they thought and believed the way they did. But I didn\u2019t know that they owned pop culture to the point that they did. I don\u2019t think it was naive. I was caught by surprise. Obama\u2019s campaign did not contain the kind of stuff that surfaced. Obama\u2019s was a, you know, center-left campaign. He was filled with things that hid his radicalism. His campaign was designed to hide his radicalism. And I knew who Obama was. So, anyway, I know how Victor here is feeling. It just rips your heart out. Anyway, Victor, thank you very much. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
