<\/p>\nRUSH: And we have Cortez, Colorado. This is Steve, and I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Welcome to our program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. It\u2019s awesome to talk to you. I\u2019ve got a question I\u2019ve been wondering about for a while, I\u2019m gonna ask: Do you consider yourself a sociologist or the greatest sociologist of the century?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019ve never thought of myself as a sociologist. I know some sociologists, some great ones like James Q. Wilson and so forth. I\u2019ve never associated myself as a sociologist in terms of applied study or any of that. Why? You think that I am, did you say?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I do. I\u2019ve been listening for a long time, and I\u2019ve got a degree in sociology.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh! Okay. You have a degree in it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You\u2019re better than any professor that I ever had way, by far.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Huh! Give me examples of what you mean.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I guess at the top of the list, just your critical thinking ability, your ability to be unbiased, and then it just seems like you\u2019re so versed on religion, politics, classes of people, technology, language, economics, racial issues, science.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So you would say — just to pick an example here — that as I analyze liberals and how they act and what they\u2019re gonna do or why they\u2019ve done what they\u2019ve done, you think that is essentially understanding principles of sociology, instead of politics?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Not just liberals, but conservatives also.<\/p>\n
RUSH: A-ha! It\u2019s interesting. I\u2019ve… (sigh) I\u2019ve always thought of myself as a radio guy. I mean, I\u2019m not trying to diminish what you\u2019re saying. I\u2019m trying to honestly answer your question.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I did, too, until about six months ago, and I said, “Rush is a sociologist. He\u2019s the best.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I\u2019m gonna add that to the resume now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: I mean, you\u2019re not Just the Doctor of Democracy. You\u2019re the best sociologist.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. This is cool. You know, I\u2019ve not even had people tell me that I\u2019m a political scientist. I just… You\u2019re the first that\u2019s attached any kind of such label to what I do. And you are a sociologist. How would you describe yourself? You\u2019re a sociologist. What does a sociologist do, in your terms? Describe how you… You know what your profession is. What do you do?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I said I have a degree in it. I make my living by carpentry. I have a remodeling business. But I do pay attention to it all the time.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hmm! All right. Well, thank you, I think.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yeah. Yep. Greatest sociologist of the century.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. Well, I appreciate it. Now, I\u2019m trying not to be self-conscious about this. You know, I\u2019m not gonna think, “Okay, am I going too far into sociology?” I never even thought about it. Anyway, I\u2019m fascinated by how people think anyway and how they react. But I\u2019ll take it as a compliment \u2019cause I know it was intended as such.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
