RUSH: Bill in Stuart, Florida, right up the road from here. Nice to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Here in Florida, and yesterday you came on the program and first said — man, I\u2019m nervous, so I\u2019ll just try not to look like an idiot — but you said why do we wait on the Supreme Court every year in June. Well, why we wait, Rush, or why we listen to what they have to say, because they\u2019re the law of the land. Anthony Kennedy has been the most powerful man in the world for the last three weeks, and we don\u2019t have congressmen, we don\u2019t even have a president who will stand up to him. Last night I saw on TV Bobby Jindal, and I know you probably heard this, he said that since the Supreme Court won\u2019t let \u2019em give the death penalty to a child rapist, now they\u2019re going to castrate \u2019em, and he said he didn\u2019t care what the Supreme Court thinks. I tell you, I like to hear guys like that, Rush. But what I want to know is, is how do people like me, how do the people like us, conservatives, how do we get our country back? I want to tell you, if you\u2019ll let me talk just a second, my wife last week on the oil prices, the subcommittee, my wife got on the e-mail, tried to get through to the congressmen who were on the subcommittee. If you\u2019re not in their district, you can\u2019t even get in their e-mail. Mel Martinez, conservative from Florida, who I voted for, sends you out a form letter, never answers your questions once you send him anything, says it\u2019s the oil companies\u2019 fault. How do we get rid of these people? How do get our country back?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You vote them out of office, and you focus on voting on conservatives, not Republicans.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, Rush, that\u2019s a good answer. When Mel Martinez ran —<\/p>\n

RUSH: But it\u2019s not going to happen tomorrow. It\u2019s not going to happen tomorrow. It\u2019s not going to happen next year. This is something that\u2019s going to have to be the focus of a long-term project, and it\u2019s going to take people willing to be involved in a long-term basis. Nothing, nothing happens tomorrow. Now, this business about Bobby Jindal and the thing — well, let me address something else that you said first. What I actually said yesterday was that I\u2019m distressed that the people in our country have been manipulated to the point that every June we sit around and pant — (panting) — waiting for the Supreme Court to tell us what is. The Supreme Court is no longer just the ultimate authority on legal and constitutional matters. The Supreme Court has now taken upon itself the role to determine our political outcomes as well, to decide controversial political outcomes. And, of course, these people are not elected. They\u2019re nominated and then confirmed by presidents and the Senate, but they are not elected. And once they\u2019re there, you can\u2019t vote \u2019em out, and this is not what the Founders intended. <\/p>\n

The people who make the political decisions, the political calls, the laws and what have you, are people we elect. This is all about conservatism beating liberalism. It\u2019s really no more complicated than that. It\u2019s just that we don\u2019t have any elected conservative leaders — look, I don\u2019t want to go through this again. This is Open Line Friday, it\u2019s the end of the week. I\u2019ve been through this I don\u2019t know how many times, the psychology of Republicans in Washington, we all know what it is. The focus here and in a lot of the so-called New Media is simply discrediting and defeating the left. That\u2019s about what we can do. When there\u2019s somebody on our side we\u2019re promoting, we promote \u2019em, but if there\u2019s not, we don\u2019t. It\u2019s just that simple. Now, as for Bobby Jindal, yeah, he said he was going to castrate \u2019em, chemically castrate \u2019em. Bobby Jindal also said, and so did Mayor Daley, Mayor Daley is out there, said, ‘Screw this. That was a law that affected the District of Columbia and not the states, and I\u2019m not going to abide by this.\u2019 The NRA, Wayne LaPierre is going to go up there and sue everybody. The NRA, now there\u2019s a gang that shows you how to act on offense. The NRA doesn\u2019t take any prisoners, and they are going for the throat of the left, and they\u2019ve won! They have won. And look how hated they are. And that\u2019s what people can\u2019t put up with is being hated. <\/p>\n

They can\u2019t put up with being lied about and they can\u2019t put up with being impugned, but LaPierre and his gang don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care what the left says about them. I think the number one thing that has to happen to our side is they need to get a steel spine and not care. The left is going to lie about \u2019em anyway. As I grow older, I have to tell you, I have so much impatience with people who are so concerned with what others think of them, especially people they don\u2019t even know. I can understand if you\u2019re concerned what your wife or husband thinks about you, that matters, and I can understand you\u2019d be worried what your kids think about you, but that matters less because they\u2019re going to hate you at some point, too, that\u2019s natural. They\u2019re going to think you\u2019re an old idiot when they\u2019re teenagers. But people that they don\u2019t know. I couldn\u2019t care less what they say about me in the newspaper or the media. I don\u2019t know those people. I know what the truth is. I know what the truth in my heart is, and you do, too, those of you who listen to me. I got over this a long time ago. I don\u2019t care what people think of my brother. I love him. People that don\u2019t know him, my cousins, members of my family, I don\u2019t care what they might say. I care if what they say about me harms them. <\/p>\n

The problem with the Republicans is that they are so concerned what the New York Times says about them and the Washington Post says about them, or what the AP says about them, \u2019cause they have to get elected every so often, and they think it matters. I think if they ran around and showed people they don\u2019t care — Wayne LaPierre doesn\u2019t care what people say about him. Charlton Heston didn\u2019t damn well care. Charlton Heston had a big victory yesterday, too. He didn\u2019t care what people said about him. I mean here was a guy who at one time, because of his movie career, was Moses. And he ended up hated and reviled by the American left, and no more wonderful a man would you ever meet than Charlton Heston. He didn\u2019t care. He had an objective. He didn\u2019t let what people were going to say or what he thought they might think intimidate him. That\u2019s our biggest problem. And until our side gets over that, it isn\u2019t going to be able to do other things, because that\u2019s going to be the prison that they\u2019re going to constantly be in. ‘What are they going to say about me if I say this? What are they going to say about me if I advance this bill?\u2019 You\u2019re dead. You\u2019re dead. What they need to be concerned about is what are my voters going to say? Is this good for the country, what I\u2019m trying to do here? Screw what they say about it. I know they\u2019re going to criticize it \u2019cause it\u2019s good for the country. A little interesting question for you, Bobby Jindal. Supreme Court said you cannot execute a child rapist. But the Supreme Court also said yesterday that you can have a gun in your home. So, a rapist enters your house, 11 o\u2019clock at night, finds his way to your little girl\u2019s bedroom, you spot him raping your child and you shoot the rapist, and the rapist dies, what are they going to do to you? You can have a gun now.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I know. I\u2019m in the process of trying to find something here, a great example to illustrate what I am talking about, and I\u2019ve gotta find this. I may not be able to find it here. I have so many stacks here. I thought I put it in this stack, but it\u2019s not in this stack, it doesn\u2019t appear. It won\u2019t take long. Yeah, here we go. It\u2019s two things, actually three, along the lines here of, ‘What do we do here to overcome the problems that we\u2019re in?\u2019 Now, again, I don\u2019t want to sound like a broken record here, but we have been through this. There\u2019s a lot happening to the Republican Party. The country club, blue-blood, Rockefeller types are trying to take it over, and they\u2019re trying to exclude as much of the Republican base from that party as possible, and here is an example. It\u2019s a story from Maclean\u2019s in Canada. ‘The Decline of America\u2019s Religious Right — Why Obama May be Poised to Lure Churchgoers Away from the Republicans.\u2019 Given that 10% of Americans believe that … Obama is a Muslim…\u2019 who said that? Where is that poll? Have you seen that poll? Ten percent think that? Whatever. <\/p>\n

‘And many more believe he followed a preacher who is radical if not unhinged, the Illinois senator seems an unlikely candidate to deliver religious voters to the Democratic ticket.\u2019 They go on to make the case here that the religious right is close to migrating to Obama. Part of it is global warming, ‘stewardship of the earth\u2019 and so forth, but part of it is that they are very much aware on the religious right that the Republican Party is telling them to go to hell, that the Republican Party is not interested. They\u2019re embarrassed of them. You\u2019ve got the conservative intelligentsia. By the way, if this happens — if the religious right, in significant numbers, goes to Obama and votes for him in November — you\u2019re going to see the biggest turnaround. The Drive-Bys are going to love the religious right. They are going to talk about them as the most enlightened voters in America to have seen the light. No more will it be making fun of the stills in the backyard. No more will they be making fun of gun racks and NASCAR jokes, and pickups on Saturday night in a church parking lot to get a close parking space.<\/p>\n

No jokes like that at all. No more calling them the Clampetts. They\u2019re going to be among America\u2019s most respected voters, the religious right that cross over and vote for Obama. In the midst of all this we have, ladies and gentlemen, an enlightened new conservative intelligentsia in the media — and it is led by names that you have heard, among them David Brooks at the New York Times — and this new branch of conservatives, pseudo-conservatives, really believe in Big Government. They believe in an activist government that has conservative tendencies, which is an oxymoron. It cancels itself out. A large government with conservative tendencies is not possible. And what these people have done is they have basically accepted the premises of the left. There\u2019s a new book out by a couple young conservatives. I don\u2019t remember their names. <\/p>\n

But they have the prescription, they say, for salvaging and saving the Republican Party, and their book is praised today by Mr. Brooks in the New York Times. Let me read to you what Mr. Brooks wrote about these two young, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Republicans who have an idea to save the party. They open the book with a working-class view of recent American history. [They] write admiringly about the New Deal.\u2019 So we\u2019ve got a book by two young Republicans, one of whom I think was an intern at National Review, saying that the secret to success for the Republicans is to go back and get working-class voters, that they have been abandoned. Republicans focus too much on the rich, and these two guys say we need to look to the New Deal to find out… Wait a minute. Stick with me here. We need to look to the New Deal to find out our salvation and where it is, as Republicans. <\/p>\n

Now, Mr. Brooks continues: ‘They mention Roosevelt\u2019s economic policies, but they also emphasize the New Deal\u2019s intense social conservatism. Self-conscious maternalists like Eleanor Roosevelt and Frances Perkins ensured that New Deal programs were biased in favor of traditional two-parent families.\u2019 So what do we have? We have a prominent conservative, so-called, writing conservatism in the New York Times, promoting a book, the focus of which is the salvation and future of the Republican Party by suggesting the New Deal was conservative. Now, that\u2019s where we are. You wonder what you can do about it? I\u2019m telling you, there\u2019s an all-out assault on conservatism even from within the Republican Party itself, not to mention the Democrats and the liberals and what they would like to do. This is absurd on its face. You know what makes this even more absurd? We have these two guys, these two young guys writing this book about how to save the Republican Party and make it the dominant party, saying the New Deal is our answer. <\/p>\n

Learn how government interacts successfully and compassionately with the most people and get yourself in charge of it, and make sure that the working class understands that we as a party are for them, and the way to do that is to get government working for them. Now, there is a usefulness to David Brooks in that he is a foil. David Brooks is illustrative of what has gotten the party where it is today. He doesn\u2019t realize the Republicans have been taking the lead on this agenda. Why did they lose \u201906? It wasn\u2019t corruption. They were spending like drunken sailors, and they got caught up in the perks of power. The government is as bloated as it can be. The Republicans didn\u2019t put the brakes on it whatsoever. The Republicans are doing earmarks just like the Democrats did, and Republican conservative voters — limited government, limited government, smaller government, get it out of our way — is the coin of the realm, and so what Mr. Brooks doesn\u2019t realize is, this is exactly where the Republican Party has been headed for seven or eight years now, and he\u2019s only noticing it now and commenting on it as though it represents our future. <\/p>\n

Now, if the Republican Party has been doing this… They haven\u2019t embraced the New Deal, but they may as well have been funding it, along with the Democrats, and if it was going to be our salvation, then how come everybody thinks we\u2019re going to get shellacked in November? We\u2019ve been doing what these two guys in their book and what Brooks is promoting in their book. We\u2019ve been doing it for seven years! We\u2019ve been growing government. We\u2019ve been trying to use government to interact with people\u2019s lives, ‘a powerful and engaged executive,\u2019 and we have been trying to say, ‘We\u2019re not mean, and we\u2019re not cruel, and we love you,\u2019 and we\u2019ve been trying to give people as much of what government —<\/p>\n

We even created our own entitlement, for crying out loud! The Republicans came up with a new entitlement! Can you believe it? The New Deal? We\u2019re close. We should be in the stratosphere. The Democrats ought to be able to barely muster 25 to 30% of the vote if these guys are right! They\u2019re not right. What\u2019s happening is the Republican Party is falling apart. You take the guy that just called from Stuart, Florida. He\u2019s frustrated. He\u2019s got nowhere to turn politically to get what he wants. He doesn\u2019t know who to vote for. His senator sends him a form letter after he inquires about oil drilling and a number of other things. The Senator is Mel Martinez. He doesn\u2019t know where to turn. A lot of people don\u2019t know where to turn. In the meantime, we\u2019ve got McCain up in Ohio, and he\u2019s assuring social conservatives that he\u2019s going to be on board and he\u2019s going to say the right things and do the right things, but then you run into this. <\/p>\n

ABC News, ‘In an interview on the ABC News Shuffle Podcast yesterday, Senator Lieberman, the independent Democrat from Connecticut, made his case for the campaign of John McCain. He said, ‘I\u2019m gonna make a provocative statement. In many ways, I think John McCain on foreign policy is closer to where Al Gore and I were in 2000 than where Barack Obama is.” Now, I like Joe Lieberman. I have a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman. But will you tell me how in the world it is going to help Republicans have confidence in McCain by saying his foreign policy is closer to Gore\u2019s in 2000 than it is to Obama\u2019s today? It ought not be anywhere near either of them! The McCain foreign policy ought to have very little in common with anything that a Gore or an Obama would do. So you put all these things together, and what you have is an assault on the Republican Party from within the party — and, of course, the natural everyday assault on the party that you get from the Drive-By Media and the Democrats. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
