RUSH: David in Indianapolis, you are up next as we go back to the phones on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello. How are you today, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First I wanted to call and let you know I am not probably one of your most typical listeners. I am a gay 50-year-old man in Indianapolis, Indiana, but I do agree with you 99.2% of the time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, 99.2%, and since I\u2019m almost always right 99.3, you\u2019re close.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m working on it. The double standard that the Democrats have with Republicans. I don\u2019t like a bully and for the first time in my life I voted Republican. I\u2019ll probably not vote Democrat again unless it just dramatically changes and the Republicans don\u2019t stand up for what they should be. I think things have gotten completely out of hand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t believe in fascism, socialism, and that\u2019s what it is. I don\u2019t care how you wrap it. And if they try to say they\u2019re not the bullies, they prove it over and over and over again. At the elections they had black power guys in front of the booths. You know, if you would have had Ku Klux Klan people in front of those booths there would have been a total riot. Everybody would have been all over the topic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, it\u2019s over and over again. If they show that a white person didn\u2019t do it then, well, they just kind of blow that underneath the bridge. But they show a black person really didn\u2019t do something, then, well, that\u2019s national news. I think what people are getting tired of is the double standard. My generation, especially as a gay man, fought for the rights of equal rights. That\u2019s equal across the board. That\u2019s not redistribution of money. If you work for it, you earn it. I come from one of those white families. I didn\u2019t get anything special. My mom was divorced, had several children, worked and earned a down payment for her home. Nobody gave it to her. I worked for everything that\u2019s ever been handed to me. I didn\u2019t get grants. I didn\u2019t get anything. I worked my way up. Nobody has a right to come in and tell me I don\u2019t deserve it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — but somebody else does.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The frightening thing, David… You\u2019re Democrat. The frightening thing is how many people do think the opposite? How many people do think they are entitled to what somebody else has if they have just a dollar more? And the Democrats have done a great job exploiting all this class envy over the years. But I\u2019m proud of you. I don\u2019t know what it was that was the tipping point for you, but I\u2019m glad that it happened. I appreciate the call. Thanks very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
