RUSH: Here\u2019s Benny in Blue Springs, Missouri, dangerously close to Independence, Missouri, where Obama was earlier this week to define his own patriotism. Hello, Benny.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Maha Rushie Italian-American mega dittos.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Regarding the usage of Swiftboating. On Turner Classic Movies, Spielberg had the audacity to defend his movie Munich so he wouldn\u2019t, quote, ‘be Swiftboated.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now, Spielberg had the audacity to defend the movie Munich so he wouldn\u2019t —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think Spielberg is a big joke, by the way, and the whole concept of Swiftboating.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019m not familiar with Munich. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, that\u2019s where he made the Jews out to be Nazis, going after the Arabs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, oh, okay. I\u2019m not familiar with the movie. That\u2019s why I\u2019m sitting here scratching my head going, ‘What have I missed?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: You couldn\u2019t miss much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The point was, he didn\u2019t want to be Swiftboated, which meant he didn\u2019t want to be criticized, lied about, what? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s what he thinks. He thinks that by him mis-portraying history, that that\u2019s okay, that, you know, don\u2019t bother me, don\u2019t call my ears big.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hmm. Well, they\u2019re trying to redefine the term, I guarantee you. It\u2019s no different than any other criticism of anybody who is a liberal that\u2019s accurate, they call it an attack. You\u2019re not allowed to tell the truth about them. Anyway, Benny, thanks for the call. <\/p>\n

John in Corning, New York, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey Rush a real pleasure to speak with you. It\u2019s an honor and a privilege.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to mention something. I took notes while Barack Obama was making his Independence speech on patriotism.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, you know, he\u2019s saying that patriotism is a gut feeling, an instinct, a feeling like something crawling up your leg. Patriotism is not having to say you\u2019re a patriot, it is living a heart-loved commitment for your country to serve, protect, and defend its Constitution (audio burp) having US Supreme Court justices who strictly interpret the Constitution to protect our rights and our ideals as Americans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He said it\u2019s a gut instinct?<\/p>\n

CALLER: A gut feeling like something crawling up your leg.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know. And really, patriotism, you live it through your life, through your associations. Now, what I see with his wife saying never been proud of America, to him having his radical associations with radical Islamists and Nation of Islam, his former pastor, by the way, is being protected by the Nation of Islam. For the life of me, now, I can\u2019t understand — now, I was raised up in the sixties — I can\u2019t understand how it is that we need the Nation of Islam protecting anyone in this country. This is America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, because the guy has sympathies for the Nation of Islam and Calypso Louie Farrakhan. You\u2019re exactly right. The notion of patriotism is found in the heart.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not found in the gut.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right. You know it when you see it and when you live it, people know it. You don\u2019t have to say you\u2019re a patriot. That\u2019s what patriotism is not. You don\u2019t have to say you\u2019re a patriot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly. That\u2019s the real question about why do this speech. Democrats are constantly defending themselves on this throughout the entire 20-year star-studded career of the EIB Network. I can count numerous times — Dukakis had to do it, a number of Democrats have had to go out and try to explain patriotism and try to define it. Now, why, if there\u2019s an instinct at play here, it is this, a lot of Americans instinctively understand that Democrats have a different definition of patriotism, that it\u2019s not founded on love of country, it\u2019s founded on shame of country, and the country needs to be changed because they are so ashamed of it. They know that\u2019s not going to win any elections and they come out with these flowery speeches defining their own patriotism as though they\u2019re guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
