RUSH: I want to welcome back to the program — after a long absence, since the last book — my brother, David, who has a brand-new book out called Guilty by Reason of Insanity<\/a>.\u00a0 Welcome, by the way.\u00a0 Great to have you here. You\u2019re ensconced and ready to go there, right?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Ready — and the subtitle is critical: “Why the Democrats Must Not Win.”\u00a0 Thank you so much for having me on, by the way.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 You bet.\u00a0 “Why the Democrats Must Not Win.”\u00a0 Now, your first books were political and then you wrote two or three Christian-themed books, and all phenomenally successful, very successful.\u00a0 I mean, they parallel the success Trump had with his 12 books.<\/p>\n

DAVID: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now you\u2019ve gone back to a political book again.\u00a0 Why? Why did you do that?\u00a0 Have you exploited all you want to on the Christianity side and…?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 No.\u00a0 In fact, I wanted to do another Christian book, but I think we\u2019re living in very troubling times, and I\u2019m so passionate about both my faith beliefs and politics.\u00a0 We\u2019re living in danger of losing this country, as you talk about every day.\u00a0 The left is arrogant, out of control, increasingly extreme, and literally insane.\u00a0 Their ideas are objectively insane.\u00a0 So I want to, in long form… I don\u2019t have a radio show, obviously, or any other show. So what I do sometimes is write books about things.<\/p>\n

And I want to make — and I think I have made — a comprehensive case against the left from abortion to immigration to their crazy gender ideas, their crazy race ideas, their ideas about socialism. I go into great detail — comprehensively, broadly, and also in-depth — and I hope it\u2019s an accessible book that explains and gives our side ammunition.\u00a0 Because we have to take this case to the people.\u00a0 The “yutes,” as you have said, are falling prey to the seductive allure of socialism.\u00a0 We have to counter that, and I hope to give people ammo to counter that.\u00a0 You give them ammo every day; I want to do my small part.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay, so what you\u2019ve done is you\u2019ve taken everything that we all talk about, but it changes day to day, and it\u2019s hard to remember things because everybody lives in the moment.\u00a0 What you\u2019ve done is — I don\u2019t know — made a historical chronology of all of this, the left and their attempts, so that people have in one place the evidence, the documentation, things to jog their memory about everything the left has done, not just whatever the most recent outrage is.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of a resource manual written as a novel.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t have stated it better, which is why you have the show and I\u2019m writing the book.\u00a0 But it changes every day, as you say. It changes every day, and it\u2019s frustrating to watch.\u00a0 I got this book up to date, but the left increasingly gets out of control every day. So theoretically, I could supplement my book every day with an addendum.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, I run into the same thing doing this radio show.\u00a0 I get it prepared, it\u2019s ready to go at 11:45, and then all hell breaks loose — and everything I\u2019ve got ready to go, I gotta broom it and adapt to whatever just happened.\u00a0 It is.\u00a0 It\u2019s frustrating as hell.\u00a0 It\u2019s what leads everybody to think that we\u2019re on defense constantly because the left is never satisfied, David, with whatever they get.\u00a0 Whatever they win, whatever victories they have, they\u2019re never satisfied.\u00a0 They always want more. And I wish our side would realize there\u2019s nothing we can give them to quiet them down or to satisfy them or to make them go away.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 An example of that is in their attitude toward race.\u00a0 They exploit race — and gender and all these other things, class warfare — because they don\u2019t have any substantive agenda.\u00a0 They\u2019ve manifestly failed in the last three or more decades in policy.\u00a0 So all they can do now is demonize conservatives.\u00a0 But just look at their approach on race, for example.\u00a0 They now say that… They reject Martin Luther King\u2019s entire philosophy on race, that one should be judged by the content of his character and his conduct rather than the color of his skin.\u00a0 He wanted to promote — he did promote — racial colorblindness.<\/p>\n

Now the left says, you have to — and Don Lemon said it on CNN. “I\u2019m offended if you don\u2019t see my race.\u00a0 You have to see my race.”\u00a0 They\u2019re promoting segregation now on college campuses, and they are saying, “Don\u2019t judge conservatives on the basis of the content of their character or their conduct.\u00a0 Judge them on the basis of their conservatism and they are systemically racist,” and they do it on gender.\u00a0 “We\u2019re a patriarchy.” The women can make just as much as men. All the laws are equalized. There\u2019s equal rights among the genders. It doesn\u2019t matter now because there\u2019s a “systemic patriarchy,” and that enables the left to always have an issue. It doesn\u2019t matter what you do, you can\u2019t do enough, because you\u2019re always deemed to be a racist — and it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 In fact, they don\u2019t want solutions.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 They want ongoing issues that never… In fact, climate change is a perfect example.\u00a0 That\u2019s never gonna be solved.\u00a0 Their predictions for it are 50 years in advance.\u00a0 There\u2019s no way there will ever be a verdict on it, so they get to use it forever, ad infinitum.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 And as you say, they want a perpetual dependency class, which is one of the many reasons they want open borders. They want more Democrats voting for them, and they\u2019ll ensure that by continuing to demonize conservatives and border hawks, people who respect our national sovereignty, and they\u2019ll demonize us as racists — which is so outrageous, it makes me mad to even talk about it.\u00a0 But it\u2019s working in the polls, Rush, as you know.\u00a0 Some 60% of Democrats believe that conservatives are racists.\u00a0 It\u2019s just unbelievable.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Look, there are a lot of books out there right now.\u00a0 I was just talking about it in the first hour.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got Andy McCarthy\u2019s Ball of Collusion. Lee Smith\u2019s new book is out, and Kim Strassel\u2019s.<\/a>\u00a0 Now, these three are all focused on the coup, the silent coup, the Trump-Russia collusion thing — and it\u2019s great.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s great to have that many books.\u00a0 They don\u2019t… They overlap on some things but all three of those books are unique in their approach, and I\u2019m hoping for a snowball effect with that many things.\u00a0 But nevertheless, it\u2019s a crowded book market out there, and there are a lot of books that are documenting various elements of the insanity of the left.\u00a0 So what\u2019s different about yours?\u00a0 You knew when you published this book, they gave you a time. I know how publishing works.<\/p>\n

DAVID: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You knew it was gonna come out now, one year before the election. You knew it was gonna be in a crowded market.\u00a0 So how did you differentiate yours?\u00a0 Why buy your book instead of some book by Anastas Mikoyan making the same claims?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Unlike some people, I\u2019m magnanimous. and I want those other conservative books — including Gregg Jarrett\u2019s<\/a> — to succeed. Kim Strassel. All of them. Andy McCarthy. All those books.\u00a0 I\u2019m not competing against them.\u00a0 I just want to sell as many books as I can because I want to inform people on a whole range of issues.\u00a0 I think the reason — the way — mine is different is because — and this isn\u2019t better or worse.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a different approach.<\/p>\n

Mine is a comprehensive approach as to all the issues, as I mentioned: Race, gender, socialism, abortion, immigration, Trump Derangement Syndrome, leftist authoritarianism, how they can\u2019t stand America\u2019s founding. I document. They can\u2019t… They were born in hell because of slavery and Native Americans and all the rest of it. I go into background on the history and all the philosophical underpinnings of all these issues, and I promise you… You know, I was thinking about this the other day.\u00a0 I remember how great your books were:\u00a0 See, I Told You So and The Way Things Ought to Be.<\/p>\n

\"\"I was thinking about my book — and this was unintentional.\u00a0 Your books back then were a compendium of all these issues that were going on at the time.\u00a0 And that\u2019s kind of what this is, unintentionally.\u00a0 Here I am on your coattails again.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t mind.\u00a0 Think about the broad range of issues — and I just want to stress: A comprehensive approach to the number of issues, also an in-depth look at each one of these issues to give our side ammo.\u00a0 I don\u2019t go that much into the Trump hoax because all these other books do such a great job of it — I mean the Russia hoax.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 No.\u00a0 You\u2019re trying to educate people who are either uninformed, malinformed, or maybe don\u2019t even care.\u00a0 You want to reach people to try to get people to understand what the ideology of liberalism is, and you do that by showing how it applies itself in everyday life and what it has screwed up.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 You know, that\u2019s so true, and I don\u2019t mean to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I read the book.\u00a0 That\u2019s how come I know what\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Excellent!\u00a0 And one thing I\u2019m particularly proud of in this book is the treatment of capitalism and socialism.\u00a0 I really did a lot of research, and we all know this. Our dad raised us as capitalists and respecters of the Constitution and the free market, and he taught us about the evils of communism.\u00a0 And he was an expert on Marxism.\u00a0 And as I talk about in the book, he came to my seventh-grade class at Schultz School and lectured on Marxism and “surplus value,” and people are gonna think I\u2019m making this up.<\/p>\n

This is seventh grade. He lectured on “surplus value” and “the labor theory of value,” and it was awesome, and I\u2019ll bet some of the kids even understood it.\u00a0 And so this book is an effort to really go into socialism and capitalism from both a moral and practical perspective.\u00a0 Everybody always says, “Socialism is good in theory.”\u00a0 I reject that.\u00a0 I rejected it when I first heard it in grade school or seventh grade or eighth grade, whatever it was.\u00a0 It\u2019s not good in theory because it\u2019s godless and it promotes equality among everybody and suppresses our liberties.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 You just mentioned something that\u2019s key, and that is the way we were raised.\u00a0 We were raised with a fearless truth about the dangers we face.\u00a0 Remember him telling us, “You boys are gonna end up slaves if the communists win”?\u00a0 You remember that phrase?\u00a0 He used it a lot.<\/p>\n

DAVID: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But there\u2019s something else that he did, and this is something, I don\u2019t know how often this happens in American families today.\u00a0 I really don\u2019t.\u00a0 I always thought our growing up was normal.\u00a0 Midwest. Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a town of 20, 25,000 people.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until I left that I found out, “No, it\u2019s not normal. It\u2019s normal for the Midwest, but…” Remember that speech he wrote, the Signers —<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 — of the Declaration of Independence?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, I think one of the problems that you face and I face — we all face — in trying to educate people is there is simply not today an adequate education about the absolute genius, brilliance, uniqueness, greatness, blessed nature of the United States and how it came to be.\u00a0 You understand the 56 people that signed the Declaration of Independence and what they went through. When it says they pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor, they really did.\u00a0 Their kids were taken prisoner.\u00a0 Their kids were tortured.\u00a0 Their kids were murdered in an effort to get them to renounce.<\/p>\n

\"\"They did not.<\/p>\n

This is not taught today.\u00a0 Therefore, the appreciation for America as founded is an obstacle that we also have to overcome in getting people to understand the basics of what Americanism is, what American freedom is versus socialism and capitalism and so forth.\u00a0 You and I had a leg up.\u00a0 We were very advantaged in the fact that we had a father that cared enough about this that raised us this way.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t know how many people do.\u00a0 So books like yours can almost replace that aspect of growing up that people were not taught.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s that crucial. I think it\u2019s that valuable, if you can get it out there, which is what we\u2019re trying to do here today.\u00a0 It\u2019s really well done.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 I appreciate that, and the essence of what you\u2019re talking about is liberty.\u00a0 The difference between the left and the right is the left doesn\u2019t have any respect for liberty.\u00a0 It is ultimately Stalinist, totalitarian, authoritarian. And conservatives —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay, but now, wait. Let me stop you. Why?\u00a0 We can say this day in and day out, but Fred Slobodnik in Keokuk is gonna listen to you and say, “They don\u2019t believe in liberty?” and they won\u2019t believe it. “Nobody is opposed to liberty.”\u00a0 Tell us what you mean by that. Give me an example of how people are opposed to liberty.<\/p>\n

DAVID: I do believe… They write they believe that their rights come from government, and therefore we\u2019re only allowed to have those liberties and rights that the government dispenses to us and we ought to be grateful.\u00a0 We believe that our rights come from God, and therefore are unalienable.\u00a0 An example of them: They want to suppress our speech.\u00a0 They do it on college campuses. Whether it\u2019s the government or the private sector, they\u2019re actually suppressing speech now, as you know, in the private sector.\u00a0 They don\u2019t even need the government, so the First Amendment doesn\u2019t even come into play there.\u00a0 But they will suppress our Christian liberties with their radical promotion of the transgender agenda and the homosexual agenda.\u00a0 They want to suppress our liberty. Look at how they are on abortion.\u00a0 Right up to the time of birth.\u00a0 If that doesn\u2019t take away life —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 No, no, no, no, no.\u00a0 After birth, now. Ralph Northam, Virginia.<\/p>\n

DAVID After birth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: After birth — and the doctor could even be wearing blackface doing the abortion and get away with it.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\u00a0 They assault the Constitution from a number of perspectives, through their judicial activism where they just create laws, legislate laws from the judiciary. The administrative state, which is a broad state… By the way, we talk about the deep state being all the politicians on both sides of the aisle, often. But there\u2019s an unwritten, unconsidered deep state in the broad administrative bureaucracy, and in this administrative state you have the legislative, executive, and judicial roles combined into one branch that\u2019s unaccountable.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re staffed with a bunch of leftist bureaucrats who are resisting Trump and thus resisting the will of the people and Trump\u2019s agenda to get things done.\u00a0 They also will issue lawless executive orders like Obama did. They will have judges who will issue injunctions that are now applied nationally.\u00a0 It\u2019s unbelievable the kind of things they\u2019re doing, and this is the outrage.\u00a0 They claim that Trump is a tyrant and such a brute beast and usurping authority.\u00a0 If you look at what he\u2019s actually done, he has not violated the Constitution.\u00a0 He has respected the Constitution.\u00a0 He just says things they don\u2019t like.\u00a0 He\u2019s standing up against them. But he\u2019s not an authoritarian.\u00a0 They are, by definition and by nature, authoritarians.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 And, by the way, let\u2019s… I gotta go to a break, but do you mind if I tell people what your initial impressions of Trump were?\u00a0 You were not a fan at first.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 No, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 He was not a fan.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t argue about it, but you had your problems with Trump.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 And you now don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 You\u2019re all-in.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 I\u2019m a big man for Trump now.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 All right.\u00a0 David Limbaugh, my brother, is with us.\u00a0 His new book is out, Guilty by Reason of Insanity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 And we\u2019re back with my brother, David, noted author, noted columnist, noted attorney, and noted agent.<\/p>\n

DAVID: (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: He has a new book:\u00a0 Guilty by Reason of Insanity.\u00a0 Okay, I\u2019ve got about 3-1\/2 minutes here, to give you an idea how much time I\u2019ve got.\u00a0 Two things I want to ask you.\u00a0 First, could you explain to people what “intersectionality” is as the left uses it and attempts to rearrange society based on it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Yeah, really quickly.\u00a0 People can… According to the intersectionality theory, people can have multiple oppressions: Race, gender, sex orientation.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Oh, multiple oppressions!<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about white privilege and so forth.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Did you ever think we were oppressed growing up?\u00a0 Was it part of your existence?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 No! Of course not.<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Of course, we\u2019re “white privileged.”\u00a0 But, see, here\u2019s the thing.\u00a0 They think that, for example, a woman cannot go out and parade her gender anymore alone without acknowledging… A white woman can\u2019t, without acknowledging that she\u2019s not black and therefore she\u2019s privileged.\u00a0 See, you have to see this intersection of oppressions, and there\u2019s a hierarchy of privilege and oppression so that, for example, the black female is the most impressed and therefore entitled to more rights now or more protection, and then you go on up the ladder and the most demonized —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Wait a minute.\u00a0 What about the gay, black female? Isn\u2019t that…?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Well, yeah, if you\u2019re talking about a trans black —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Yeah, trans, gay, black female is the epitome of being oppressed in America, right?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 That would be it, absolutely.\u00a0 So that\u2019s intersectionality, and it\u2019s resulted in a lot of contradictions.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 It\u2019s a way to take people\u2019s identity away from them is essentially what it is and recast it into something else?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 It makes us invisible as human beings.\u00a0 We\u2019re all groups, we\u2019re not individuals, and that\u2019s another way they take our freedom away.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Now, the 2020 election. What\u2019s at stake, and what do you really think based on everything we know today is going to happen?<\/p>\n

DAVID:\u00a0 Well, also I want to talk about what\u2019s at stake is whether our kids, grandkids, nephews and the rest enjoy liberty and are going to enjoy the same kind of America that we did.\u00a0 Socialism, which the Democrats are out front now advocating — all of them are advocating. Some of them deny it; most of them admit it.\u00a0 Socialism ultimately leads to impoverishment and enslavement, ultimate tyranny. Because political and economic liberty are intertwined.\u00a0 If you suppress political liberty, you suppress economic liberty, and vice-versa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are going to end up, our kids — as my dad said, as our dad said — are going to end up in virtual slavery if we don\u2019t put a stop to this.\u00a0 And that\u2019s why we\u2019ve gotta support Trump and the other people who are standing up for liberty.\u00a0 So you talk about all these crazy cultural ideas that the left is promoting and cramming down our throats.\u00a0 Look at their idea on gender.\u00a0 They went from feminism, to radical homosexual rights, and now transgender rights.<\/p>\n

So now the left is saying there is no difference between a man and a woman, that your “biological assignment at birth,” whether you\u2019re a man or a woman, is irrelevant. What matters is how you “identify,” and some people are so outraged by biologically designation that they won\u2019t even go to gender coming out parties. So somebody says, “I\u2019m gonna celebrate the birth of my son.” “No, you can\u2019t do that, because you don\u2019t know if he wants to identify as a female!”\u00a0 These kinds of things are crazy.\u00a0 So the —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 That\u2019s a great… I\u2019m out of time. I\u2019ve got five seconds.\u00a0 But you can with the book.\u00a0 Watch 6.1\u2019s out today.\u00a0 Make sure you upgrade. Mac update as well.\u00a0 My brother, David.\u00a0 Back in a moment.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the name of the book again: \u201cGuilty by Reason of Insanity: Why The Democrats Must Not Win.<\/a>\u201d And it\u2019s a big book. I\u2019m holding it here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. If you count the notes section — and it\u2019s extensively notated — meaning there\u2019s evidence for the claims made, and there\u2019s an index, I mean, you\u2019re getting close to 450 pages in this baby.<\/p>\n

There are three chapters on socialism and capitalism. And I think this is a coming subject, a developing subject or topic, as evidenced by the stories I\u2019ve seen today of the increasing numbers of Millennials — it\u2019s shocking, some of these polls, 70% of Millennials are favorable to socialism. Thirty-three percent say they love and support communism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, as I said in the first hour, you can go back to the sixties when I was growing up, when I was a teenager, and we had an element of the Baby Boom generation that was pro-communist and pro-socialist. And many of them got elected later on. They were in the Clinton administration, and some of them are still there.<\/p>\n

So my point, throughout American history, there has always been an element of the student or youthful population that\u2019s been enamored of socialism and communism. Some of it\u2019s economics. Some of it is empathetic. Some of it\u2019s emotional. But today it\u2019s different. For example, the sixties, when I was young and growing up, it was not promoted. You were a genuine oddball and you were considered — well, not a threat, but there was nothing romantic about it except among those who believed it. It was just beginning to be taught in the universities as an advocacy.<\/p>\n

Now, I never was taught it as an advocate. I never had a socialist professor, communist professor. I knew people my age who did, but now they\u2019re everywhere. And now people are taking it a little bit more seriously, especially when you look at all of the other elements that young people are bombarded with, the unfairness of capitalism, the differences in human beings and how that\u2019s inherently unfair and unjust.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s traced now all the way back to the founding of the country is being taught as the reason for this unfairness and the reason for this injustice. And there\u2019s a concerted, ongoing effort to overthrow the founding of this country internally. Not because of terrorists and not because of bombs that might land in America, but because and due to the internal advocacy of the overthrow of the founding of the country.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s, I think, an increasing threat. And the fact that there\u2019s an emotional component to it makes it harder and harder to repel it. I mean, you can argue facts, you can argue economics with people, and if you have enough time with them you can expose the absolute unfairness and misery and injustice of communism and socialism.<\/p>\n

But when these young people get emotionally attached to it, well, you know how tough that is to dislodge anybody from their emotional attachments. And the idea that America is unfair and the unfairness is rooted in competition, it\u2019s rooted in some people have built in advantages and other people don\u2019t, we have to equalize them. And then David was talking about all the new ways that free people, the freest people in the world, now end up thinking they are oppressed!<\/p>\n

Oppression is what happens if you live in China. It\u2019s what happened if you live in Russia or the old Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba, that\u2019s oppression. If you lived in the old Vietnam. In fact, the truth of the matter is when we talk about American exceptionalism, the real exception that America is, is not better people, smarter people. It\u2019s the fact that we are the exception to life.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of human beings who have lived since beginning of time, whatever it was, the vast majority of human beings that have walked the earth have lived in some kind of oppression that most of them, 90% have lived through economic misery, poverty, really low standard of living, really poor quality of life. That was the rule. That was the rule for most people wherever because tyranny and dictatorship and tyrants have been the order of the day. The acquisition of power and its use.<\/p>\n

The United States came along and was the first nation in the history of nations to found itself on the premise that the individual citizen was where power in the country resided and that everybody that worked in government was elected and thus accountable and answerable to the citizens. That was the exception. And it was a vast exception. It was a dramatic exception, e-x-c-e-p, massive exception to the way most people live.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That\u2019s what American exceptionalism is. It\u2019s other things too. And it\u2019s under assault. And there\u2019s been an ongoing effort on campuses and in movies to try to convince as many young people that they are oppressed, that there isn\u2019t any of this liberty and freedom that everybody waxes about and promotes and is grateful for. No. It\u2019s a joke. Everybody\u2019s oppressed. Today the oppressors are white men, for the most part, conservative white men, evangelical Christians. They are the new white racists, the white supremacists, the white privileged.<\/p>\n

This is what young people are being taught. And it\u2019s like the shotgun approach. Most people are not rich. Most people are not wealthy. So attempting to assemble an army of activists is much easier if you\u2019re aiming to create middle class, lower middle class activists than if you want to create a bunch of activists among the rich. The rich are outnumbered, I mean dwarfed just in sheer numbers.<\/p>\n

So in this book that David has written here, Guilty by Reason of Insanity, there are three chapters on socialism and capitalism because he thinks it\u2019s that important. There are also three chapters that chronicle the left\u2019s intolerance and authoritarianism. And there is a logical connection between intolerance and authoritarianism.<\/p>\n

So this is a tremendous book for those of you who have instinctively understood your own political beliefs, conservatism, but life moves long so fast, you remember the most recent example of a leftist or liberal outrage, but the most recent examples dwarf your memory of things that happened yesterday, last week, last month, last year. This book recounts \u2019em all. So it takes the place of your memory. You don\u2019t have to remember all these outrages.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s written to inform people. It\u2019s also written to arm them if you have any desire to argue, to try to inform others. If you want to try to straighten out your kids who may have been corrupted by a leftist curriculum at their school, this is the book for you, Guilty by Reason of Insanity: Why the Democrats Must Not Win, by my brother, David Limbaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
