And the public is going to be outraged if they understand what is occurring here. Patrick Leahy from Vermont, a radical leftist, hell-bent on pushing this woman through fast before her radicalism is understood by the public. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going on. That\u2019s why you\u2019re not allowed to know what her brother Irving does in his classroom. So what we have here, and I\u2019ve been thinking about this long and hard. I came up with the phrase and then I asked myself for a couple of seconds, should I actually use the phrase? And I\u2019ve decided that I\u2019m going to use the phrase. What we have here, not just in the Kagan nomination but throughout our country, is a disconnect between liberalism and Americanism. I can think of no more succinct way to explain this. The truth is what really irritates people these days, particularly the left. It\u2019s just going to irritate them like they can\u2019t believe. <\/p>\n<p>The disconnect between liberalism and Americanism. Says it all. The Kagan nomination shows it, the state dinner thing tonight, the way they\u2019re handling that. Obama going to Ohio yesterday, 15-point-something percent unemployment in Ohio. And Obama goes in and starts talking about how wonderful things are in the country and things are coming back. It\u2019s like pouring salt on the wound. Foreclosures and repossessions are at an all-time high, yet we\u2019re in an economic recovery. And all this is great news for Obama. It\u2019s the disconnect between liberalism and Americanism, and they clearly are two separate things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, we\u2019ve been told here that the hearings for the socialist Elena Kagan for the US Supreme Court will start on June the 26th.
