RUSH: We start in Milwaukee today. Jerry, you are up first. Nice to have you on the program. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. I agree with this Republican-appointed judge. The judiciary, one of the most important aspects of it is to ensure that the rights of the minorities are protected. Obviously people have the right to pass laws, the majority, but the Constitution — of not just the federal government but of state government — ensures that the rights of the minority, even in a dislike minority are protected. In terms of… At one time, the right to vote, Rush, was only men marrying or men could vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sir, it\u2019s sad people like you that are helping the left destroy the country. <\/p>\n

CALLER: The left is destroying the country?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s uninformed… Well, the minority is not allowed to break the law. The minority is not allowed to rewrite the Constitution to the federal bench. The minority is not allowed to look at the Constitution and say, ‘I don\u2019t like this,\u2019 and simply write parts of it out. Besides, the minority in this case is not even really concerned about equal rights. The minority in this case is trying to bash and destroy the US Constitution, and it\u2019s ignoramuses like you who don\u2019t know what you are talking about who help them get away with it. You call here and you read a prepared statement as a caller, pointing out it\u2019s a Republican judge. It doesn\u2019t mean anything who appointed this guy. His ruling is what matters. Anyway, take it to some other show. Maybe you\u2019ll have better success there. Jean, Columbia, Missouri. I don\u2019t have much patient for these people today, folks. Just a warning. Jean in Columbia, welcome to the program. Nice to have you here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to be able to speak with you. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling because I don\u2019t know if the election is even going to solve the problems in this country. I\u2019m very conservative, but I don\u2019t think… You know, look at what\u2019s happening in California. Let\u2019s say that most of the conservatives win reelection in midterm elections. They don\u2019t have to accept it. There will be other judges. I think it\u2019s already too far gone. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. If we\u2019re too far gone, then what are you going to do? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I think the states may be be looking at secession, maybe another Civil War — and tell you the truth, I\u2019m ready for it because I\u2019m so hopping mad. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is — <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m mad every day. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. You\u2019re mad. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m mad at the — <\/p>\n

RUSH: You are mad every day. Other people are depressed every day. Look at what people in this… This is a reasonable woman and she\u2019s talking about secession, Civil War! She\u2019s not alone, folks. This is not the rantings of extreme kookism anymore. Minorities do not… You know, if we give way to the minority every time, we got minority rule — which is what we\u2019ve got, by the way, and look where it\u2019s taking us. Minority rule. So, ‘The midterms aren\u2019t going to matter. We need a revolution. We need secession.\u2019 She\u2019s mad. A lot of other people are mad. (interruption) Well, some might say the Civil War\u2019s already on, a nonviolent one with no arms that have been taken up, but some would say a Civil War\u2019s going on. Not started by us. If you\u2019re of the opinion that the Civil War is underway, it\u2019s been started by the American left years and years and years ago and is just now intensifying. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Snerdley, when I say ‘minority rule,\u2019 I\u2019m talking about minorities, lesser numbers, the left in this country. The left is a minority. We\u2019re being ruled by a minority. We had this caller, this guy in Milwaukee talking about the rights of the minority. If the minority gets everything it wants all the time, then we have the minority ruling, and that\u2019s not a representative republic. I\u2019m not talking race here at all. Talking politics, the American left. We are being governed and ruled by a minority. Here\u2019s Drew in Long Island. Drew, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for having me, Rush. I think you are a great man. <\/p>\n

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

CALLER: The wait was wonderful. Listen, I wanted to ask you: Do you believe that two people of the same gender should be afforded the same rights — maybe not to be called marriage but to be afforded the same rights — as two people inter-gender that would be married? <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, in California they already are. They already are in California. You are talking about the civil unions. In California gay people already have the same rights that married people have in the context in which you are speaking, which is benefits, right? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, yeah. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Benefits, right. Because everybody wants benefits. Nobody wants to do anything on their own. Everybody wants ‘benefits,\u2019 and in California they\u2019ve taken care of it. The civil union has been established. You don\u2019t have to be married to get the same quote-unquote ‘benefits,\u2019 visitation rights and all that that married people have. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, ‘benefits\u2019 in terms of, you know, healthcare and insurance premiums —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — are less when you are paying for more than one person. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Yeah, I know. <\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, these are the things that, in the eyes of the people that are pushing for the unions, the gay people out there — because I have a lot of gay friends. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

CALLER: In their eyes this is about those rights, but behind the scenes the politico\u2019s eyes as you said is to, in my opinion is to destroy the constitutional rights that we have. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and that\u2019s why I said earlier in the program that I think these… Most gay people are not gay activists. Most people are not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, they\u2019re not. No, they\u2019re not. <\/p>\n

RUSH: They are being used.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. <\/p>\n

RUSH: They are being used as the latest battering ram against the Constitution. <\/p>\n

CALLER: But do you believe that gay people should have the right to have a civil union? Do you believe that they should be, you know — that their wishes should be respected just as anybody else choosing a life partner? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, it doesn\u2019t matter what I think in this case. It exists. Civil unions have come up as a way of mollifying. People wanted to say, ‘Look, marriage is what it is. Let\u2019s not bastardize it. I mean, if you want the benefits, if you want visitation rights, if you want to be able to be on the insurance policy, do it with civil unions,\u2019 and notice it didn\u2019t satisfy. It did not satisfy. Granting everything they wanted on the benefits side did not satisfy the judge or anybody else here. So it\u2019s a false notion. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was in California in the early and mid-eighties during the zenith, the modern era zenith of the rise in popularity of gay rights movement. What I remember back then was they said, ‘Just leave us alone.\u2019 That was one of the major mantras of the political gay rights movement: ‘Just leave us alone,\u2019 and now they don\u2019t want to be left alone. At all. If marriage is not between a man and a woman… I\u2019ve raised this before, but I think it\u2019s a valid, logical conclusion. If marriage is not between a man and a woman, then what should the definition be? If we\u2019re going to say that marriage is codified homophobia, that marriage between a man and a woman only exists because men and women, heterosexuals, have been homophobes and the way they sought to discriminate against gays with as to not allow them to get married and define marriage as only between a man and a woman and now that\u2019s out the window, the judge has taken care of it. <\/p>\n

So what is marriage? Is it between two adults? Is it between two consenting beings, two consenting objects? Where does it stop? Why two adults? Why not three? What if three adults decide that they want to get married? Well, some of you might get off on that. Some of you might like it, especially if two of them have health benefits and you don\u2019t — which is a strange reason to get married, but I guess there are all kinds of reasons for it. If the adults are loving and responsible, why not three in a marriage? Why not? Or more, for that matter. I mean, if the marriage is not a union of a man and a woman, what\u2019s a family? We can define that however we wish it to be defined. Who am I? Who are you? Who are you to tell anybody what marriage ought to be? <\/p>\n

As far as the judge and who should decide, the judge should decide everything it appears. If the people cannot even be trusted to define marriage, how can they be trusted to define anything else? This goes to the core of our country, the core of our existence. Self-government, but we can\u2019t be trusted to self-govern ourselves. If we can\u2019t be trusted to define marriage, then how can we be trusted to define anything? If we are bigots because we are heterosexual, then we\u2019re bigots for all purposes. (interruption) Of course I realize how irritating it is, but that\u2019s what this judge said. This judge said he has codified marriage as homophobia. So we\u2019re not trusted. The people can\u2019t be trusted to define marriage; what can we be trusted to do? <\/p>\n

According to this judge, nothing. According to the left, nothing. They are God. They have to do all the defining. Now, if the heterosexuals are bigots because they\u2019re heterosexuals, then they\u2019re bigots for all things, right? If they\u2019re bigots for all purposes, then they are not rational. They are not capable of self-government, right? Ergo, that\u2019s how you get a decision like this. It\u2019s sick. These seven million voters of Prop 8 were put on trial by this judge and found to be incompetent, bigots, homophobes, and that\u2019s why what they did had to be overturned. Well, once you go down that slope, anything we vote can be overturned because we\u2019re not competent. Walker\u2019s ruling makes it very clear, ladies and gentlemen — the judge here makes it very clear — that marriage is simply homophobia. <\/p>\n

Why…? Why do we think that a two-person marriage is morally superior? Where did this come from? Why does society…? I don\u2019t care what country you go to, and I don\u2019t care what era you cite. Marriage has always been two people, a man and a woman. How did that happen? I\u2019m asking rhetorically. You don\u2019t need to shout at the radio and tell me. I know what you\u2019re saying. How did this happen? Where did this kind of ‘bigotry\u2019 begin, that a two-person marriage is morally superior? ‘Prejudice\u2019 is mentioned sixteen times in this guy\u2019s ruling. Fourteen times you\u2019ll read the word ‘fear\u2019 in this judge\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tom in Mentor, Ohio, you are next on the EIB Network. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush, how are you doing?<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Congratulations on your marriage. Wish you nothing but happiness. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that, sir. Thanks much. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Now, I have a question for you. You\u2019ve been talking about, you know, minority rule, minority rule. I\u2019ve been thinking about this for months. Isn\u2019t this like apartheid in South Africa where the minority, not that it\u2019s race, but the minority liberals and the viewpoint of the way Americans think now are ruling and jamming down the throats of all the conservative thinking people? <\/p>\n

RUSH: In South Africa, you mean the minority are the blacks? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I mean, it\u2019s just like reversed. Not reversed but it\u2019s — <\/p>\n

RUSH: I wouldn\u2019t compare this to apartheid because apartheid was racial. What\u2019s happening here is not racially based. <\/p>\n

CALLER: No, that\u2019s what I mean. It\u2019s not racial but it\u2019s the minority is ruling over the — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Precisely, by ignoring the Constitution. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Right. <\/p>\n

RUSH: By bastardizing it, by rewriting it. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. <\/p>\n

RUSH: By ignoring the will of the people, not only ignoring the will of the people but telling us that we\u2019re not smart enough to govern ourselves every which way from Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mark in Charlotte, North Carolina, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call. Mega dittos. <\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Listen, one of the things that you\u2019ve taught us so effectively over the years is to follow the money. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. <\/p>\n

CALLER: And when I listened to this discussion about the marriage and defining it, you know, one of the things that\u2019s being eliminated or at least they are trying to eliminate is the estate tax exemption. However, the marital exemption is unlimited and so this could be a scheme. I don\u2019t know, Rush. I thought I\u2019d run this by you. Is this some scheme to once again avoid taxes in perpetuity perhaps? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know. I mean, I\u2019m not sure what you mean by the — what is the marital exemption? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, when you have a husband and wife, and let\u2019s say they have an estate, doesn\u2019t even have to be as big as yours, Rush, but, you know, they\u2019ve got a significant estate. When one of them passes away, the estate goes to the spouse. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, tax-free, that\u2019s what you mean. <\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right, there\u2019s no tax on that from an estate tax standpoint. It\u2019s an unlimited marital deduction is what they say. So would that be part of this, too, because if we redefine marriage then they\u2019ll be eligible for this as well, this unlimited way to pass on money. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t doubt that that has been used as the benefits side of this, people being discriminated against, not being permitted to have the same benefits as married people, therefore there\u2019s discrimination. And I would assume that that\u2019s being used to fuel the fire of those who think they are being discriminated against, but I really think that the big picture here, that what this is all about is destroying the United States, destroying the US Constitution. Ripping and tearing apart the traditions and institutions that have defined the country. There\u2019s no question that you can get them all fired up by saying, ‘Look at what you\u2019re missing here! You can\u2019t get married and so you\u2019re missing out on a free inheritance when a partner passes away.\u2019 No doubt that\u2019s been used. Seems like same thing with health care benefits and all the other. But the main objective is the United States. That\u2019s what\u2019s in the crosshairs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
