We face a long struggle against a determined adversary. We know that Al-Qaeda is not constrained by a Constitution or by allegiance to anything other than a hateful ideology and a determination to kill as many innocents as possible. But what makes the United States of America so special is precisely the fact that we are willing to uphold our values and our ideals, not just when it\u2019s easy, but when it\u2019s hard. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_579144c8c218e.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: So what he\u2019s basically again saying is, look, I kind of envy Al-Qaeda. They\u2019re not constrained by a Constitution like I am. But don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m working on getting rid of that Constitution, or changing it so that it\u2019s not such a burden on me. I mean guys like Obama look at the Constitution as a burden, he looks at Al-Qaeda sort of wistfully, gee, these guys aren\u2019t constrained by a Constitution. But I continue to be profoundly offended with this notion that we sacrifice our values when we engage in acts to protect the country. You know, when you get right down to it, this whole notion we\u2019re torturing here and torturing there, we are, the United States of America, throughout our history has been decent country. We are a decent people. And this notion, well, we can\u2019t become our enemies in the process of fighting. We\u2019ve done that many times. Depending on the severity and the risk that we face, we are a decent people and we do not compromise our decency when taking steps to defend and protect our country and the Constitution. The idea that we do profoundly offends me, bothers me greatly. <\/p>\n<p>So we gotta tie two hands behind our back any time we face ruthless, as he describes them, ideologues who are hateful and killers. We\u2019ve got two hands behind the back. One is not enough. And if we don\u2019t put two hands behind our back, we\u2019re somehow betraying our values. What values? I would like for him to enumerate them. I want to know what values he\u2019s talking about that we hold onto while we defend and protect the country. I mean it\u2019s easy to run out there and spew this notion, &#8216;We gotta hold onto our values.\u2019 What values? Which ones are you talking about, because, frankly, his values are not the same as mine when it comes to this country. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Speaking of Obama, he went to the FBI today.
