<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Annie in Sarasota, Florida, as we start on the phones. It\u2019s great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Hey, real quick, I\u2019m a middle-aged conservative woman who\u2019s listened to you for many, many years. I\u2019ve grown old with you and I just want you to know my husband tried to talk sense into me about how crazy the world is with liberalism and the media, and I got scared. But I put you on and you deal with absolutes and truth, and you give me peace, and I\u2019m not scared anymore. And I want to thank you for that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well! That —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I appreciate that. I do. ‘Cause, you know, it is scary every day.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The news is a constant bombardment of the negative. And with as prevalent as news — quote-unquote, “news” — is today, we hear about every wart in this country. We hear about every act of aberrant behavior. We hear about every weird thing going on. And we all tell ourselves, “My God, it\u2019s never been this bad!” In certain places, that may be the case. But, folks, people are people. Humanity has been depraved and perverted since the beginning days of humanity. It\u2019s just that for many, many, many, many millennium the mass population didn\u2019t know of all of these details.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think social media and the internet have put an additional challenge and test on people, because literally we used to not hear about all these acts of depravity and things going on. Now we hear about it all. And it does, in comparison, sometimes seem like, “We\u2019re losing everything. We\u2019re going to hell in a handbasket, and there\u2019s a shortage of handbaskets. We\u2019re just going straight there,” when in fact things may not be, in a general sense, any different than they\u2019ve always been. Politically is a different thing, I\u2019ll acknowledge, the ebbs and flows there.<\/p>\n
But even with that, America survives, and we will continue to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
