RUSH: To White Plains, New York, and Rich, welcome, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Greetings from a still-grieving Jet fan. I heard you mention earlier in your broadcast —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me how it feels.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s that, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me how it feels. You said that you are a still-grieving Jet fan.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, it feels like Sanchez\u2019s arm was moving forward the whole game!<\/p>\n

RUSH: A-ha! So the refs did it. The refs always align themselves with the Steelers? <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Okay, if that\u2019s what it takes to get you through, I can relate.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Houston Oilers, same thing, 1979, Mike Renfro. They think they got screwed, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What do you think, Rush? Do you think his arm was going forward or not?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t see his arm going forward.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You didn\u2019t see it going backwards?<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. I didn\u2019t see it going backwards but I did not see it go forward. There was one key replay view where that arm was not going forward. There are so many optical illusions in these, because the ball, the way it —<\/p>\n

CALLER: The ball ended up a couple yards forward.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but that\u2019s the optical illusion. The ball going forward makes you think the arm is going forward. That\u2019s not necessarily the case. Go back and look at Polamalu, who did the same thing to Joe Flacco in a regular season game. He hacked the arm, the ball flew a little bit forward, I believe, before it was recovered. Maybe it flew a little bit sideways. It\u2019s —<\/p>\n

CALLER: But, Rush, how does the ball go forward without either the arm, the wrist, or the hand going forward? I mean, we\u2019re talking physics here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, physics perfectly explains this. That\u2019s why I was just trying to say it\u2019s an optical illusion.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling) All right, Rush. I want to make a point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I heard you talk about Dingy Harry\u2019s defense of the Obamacare, and he used the term ‘patient\u2019s rights.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s how they are characterizing Obamacare, as a ‘patient\u2019s rights bill,\u2019 yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And then I heard you talk about passenger\u2019s rights somewhere in your dialogue there, and yet I\u2019ve heard of animal rights, reproductive rights, prisoner\u2019s rights, marital rights. My question is this to you, Rush: Rights are an important thing, so could you tell me how many there are? I would think that something as important as a person\u2019s rights should be enumerated — and to me, I\u2019ll tell you my interpretation of what the left deems ‘rights.\u2019 They take the cause du jour and put the word ‘rights\u2019 after it and there you have it!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There\u2019s a new right, and of course —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Before —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — it\u2019s accompanied by a taxpayer funded entitlement.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Before I answer your question, I need to ask you one more.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Was there a second gunman on the grassy knoll?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Are you calling my a conspiracy theorist, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I\u2019m just asking you a question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (stifling laughter) All right. The question about rights, you\u2019re pretty much on the money. You could have a bill that permits every man to rape a woman. If you call it the Civil Rights Act of 2012, it would pass. <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: You could legalize rape by calling it a civil rights bill or some sort of ‘rights\u2019 bill. This is an exaggeration, folks, to illustrate absurdity to by being absurd. You could pass a lot by calling it a civil rights bill. Now, the question of where rights come from, that\u2019s essentially what you\u2019re asking me.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Rights come from creation. Rights come from God.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So the Congress is God!<\/p>\n

RUSH: In their minds.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: The White House is God in their minds.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Liberals, in their minds are your God, are your nanny. They bestow rights upon you. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t like the Constitution. The Constitution clearly says that rights coming from God, and they\u2019re not all that complicated.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Is there anybody in Congress, in the Senate, even His Majesty himself who will acknowledge that, who will even acknowledge that the Constitution says that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s the Declaration that says it. It\u2019s the Constitution that spells out what government cannot do. <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: I think it\u2019s a crucial question, because we\u2019re at a stage here in our nation\u2019s evolution where the left has really done a pretty good job of trying to make everybody think they fit into a group of victims somewhere. Ergo, we\u2019re working on a ‘passengers rights bill.\u2019 Where did that come from? Well, the passengers rights bill comes from the fact that airlines will sometimes leave you on the airplane for four hours on the tarmac before going to a gate or after leaving a gate, and they won\u2019t let you off because they\u2019re concerned about a number of things. Passengers have complained. Sometimes it\u2019s been eight hours on the plane on the tarmac. <\/p>\n

So you got a piece of legislation to fix that, make sure the airlines can\u2019t do that, and you call it the Passengers Rights Bill of 2010, 2011, and it spells out what your rights are as a passenger. The attempt here has been to put as many people as possible into groups of victims. The reason for this is so that the great elected leaders in Washington can act as the solvers of problems. They can act as the people who fix it all. They make you a victim of something, and then they come along and say, ‘We\u2019re the ones that are gonna make it safe or fair\u2019 or whatever. ‘We\u2019re gonna get even with those who have victimized you!\u2019 It\u2019s insidious, because the more people who buy into this whole notion that they\u2019re victims of something, it\u2019s usually of the country. They\u2019re a victim of some aspect of this country. <\/p>\n

Racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, corporatism, whatever it is, government gets to come along and say, ‘We\u2019ll fix it. We\u2019re the referee,\u2019 and that\u2019s supposed to make you say, ‘Oh, good. I\u2019ll turn my life over to you, then. You will protect me from all of these predators out there like Walmart and McDonald\u2019s and whoever else it is that is endangering your life, the food that you eat or what have you.\u2019 So they\u2019ve set this up and it\u2019s been going on for years. It\u2019s a battle. Government equals justice! Government equals good! Government equals wonderment! Private sector equals pain! Private sector equals crime. Private sector equals predators! ‘Private sector is where everybody who wants to get you is. The government is where everybody who wants to protect you is,\u2019 and that\u2019s how they\u2019ve set it up. In the process they have taken initiative away from people; they have taken ambition away. It\u2019s much easier to blame some entity, a faceless entity for your failures than it is to blame yourself. Especially when you got some politician who\u2019s gonna come along and punish them for making you a failure.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This might be a wise, opportune time to revisit something. This whole notion of rights. ‘Cause people do run around, ‘I got my rights! You can\u2019t take it away from me! I got my rights,\u2019 and it has boomeranged. It has exploded, and everybody — well, a lot of people — has a misunderstanding of what is a right. How would you define it. If somebody came up to you and said, ‘I\u2019m confused. I don\u2019t know what a right is.\u2019 How many of you would say, ‘Well, it\u2019s something the government allows you to do\u2019? If you did say that, you couldn\u2019t be more wrong. A right… Remember, now, especially by virtue of our Declaration of Independence: ‘We are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights; among them, life, liberality, and the pursuit of happiness.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Those three things are enumerated in our Declaration. Those three rights encompass so much. Pursuit of happiness. Right to life. Liberty. There\u2019s a lot there. Those are things. Those are things that cannot be taken away from you. A right is something that no man can take away from you — and if someone tries, then you are being violated. Now, the US Constitution, this is an opportune time to remind you again in the Obama administration view of it, and he himself has said this. He has a guy in his orb by the name of Cass Sunstein, and Cass Sunstein and others have led the intellectual thinking that the Constitution really is nothing more than negative liberties. Negative liberties. The Bill of Rights. Well, what\u2019s in the Bill of Rights? <\/p>\n

Well, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to associate. <\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the negative here? Well, that\u2019s tricky. They don\u2019t look at the Constitution the way you do. They look at the Constitution as an obstacle. They look at the Constitution from the prism of being in power. They look at the Constitution as ‘negative\u2019 because the Constitution tells people in power what they cannot do. They cannot stop us from practicing religion. They cannot stop us from speaking, particularly political speech. They cannot stop us from free association. And that\u2019s what they don\u2019t like. That\u2019s why they call it ‘negative liberties.\u2019 That\u2019s why FDR said, ‘Let\u2019s have a new Bill of Rights! We want to spell out positive Bill of Rights from the standpoint of what government can do\u2019 they say ‘for\u2019 you, but it really means ‘to\u2019 you. <\/p>\n

So when you have people like leftists, liberals, Obama, Constitution is an obstacle. They want you to believe that rights come from them, that Obamacare grants you certain rights (that, by the way, the Republicans want to deny you). That\u2019s the way it works. And what are these rights? Do you have ‘the right to affordable health care\u2019? Think about it. Do you have the right to affordable health care? Well, naturally, you don\u2019t. But how many Americans believe they do? This is where this law has been found unconstitutional. The government has mandated that everybody have health insurance — and if they don\u2019t, that they pay a penalty. The Constitution is clear. It\u2019s in the commerce clause of the Bill of Rights. <\/p>\n

You cannot do this. The government cannot require that everybody have something, and by the same token they cannot require that we don\u2019t do something! They cannot mandate it. States can (auto insurance, all that) but the federal government can\u2019t. There\u2019s a reason it\u2019s set up this way. It\u2019s to keep the federal government from becoming omnipotent and omnivorous and so big and powerful that you can\u2019t escape them. Now, you might like the idea that affordable health care is a right. But somebody then\u2019s gonna have to do define affordable. Who gets to define that? Is affordable you only have to pay a hundred bucks a month for it or affordable means, ‘whatever you can pay, you get the same thing that everybody else gets no matter how much they can pay\u2019? <\/p>\n

How do you define this? There is no such thing as a ‘right,\u2019 not only to affordable health care, there\u2019s no right to health care, period. Just as there is no right to a house. Just as there is no right to a car. You were not created… Tell Thomas Jefferson he had a right to a car but he never got one. They didn\u2019t exist. This is not what people had in mind. This is not what rights are. Rights are not wants. Rights are not desires. Rights involve basic humanity, the way that we are created and the way our humanity must be respected by others. Now, as we all know, throughout the history of the world, human rights have been violated left and right. You want some names? <\/p>\n

Fidel Castro. Hugo Chavez. Hu Jintao. Mao Tse-tung. Joseph Stalin. Adolf Hitler. Vladimir Lenin. Mikhail Gorbachev. Idi Amin Dada. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Any mullah, any Islamist cleric is violating human rights somewhere along the line. Militant Islamists. You know, not mainstream. You know what I mean here. The point is that people who want to deny you your human rights are all over the place. The whole concept of American exceptionalism has been that that hasn\u2019t been the case here. The history of human existence is one of bondage, torture, prisons, poverty, injustice. Throughout human existence that has been the lot of most people. That has been the way they lived. <\/p>\n

But not here. <\/p>\n

For the first time ever in human existence, the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence, our founding documents, create a country where America is an exception to the way human beings have been treated throughout history. It\u2019s not that we\u2019re better than anybody. It\u2019s not that we have better DNA. It\u2019s not that we\u2019re smarter; it\u2019s not that we\u2019re chosen. It\u2019s none of that. That\u2019s not what exceptionalism means. We\u2019re the exception to the rule is one way of looking at it. Some of us believe we are exceptional people. To the extent that we are it\u2019s only because we\u2019ve had more freedom than anybody else has had to realize goals, ambitions to whatever degree of effort we want to apply. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been up to us. So you don\u2019t have all kinds of rights that Congress or the Senate or the president bestows upon you. There is no president, there is no human being that can proclaim a ‘right\u2019 to affordable health care. I mean, Obama has done it. Does it exist? Will it ever? It\u2019s impossible. They mandate everybody have an insurance policy. If you don\u2019t, you pay a fine. (clapping) ‘Yes, that\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh! That will lower prices for everybody by increasing the numbers of people in the pool!\u2019 Right, okay. We\u2019re gonna mandate every one of you New Castrati people have a gun.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not the same thing, Mr. Limbaugh!\u2019<\/p>\n

Why? <\/p>\n

‘Because guns kill!\u2019 <\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t matter. I have the power as the federal government. You can make me go buy an insurance policy or put me in jail or fine me if I don\u2019t, right? I\u2019m gonna pass a law and I\u2019m gonna tell you you have to have a gun.<\/p>\n

‘On what premise, Mr. Limbaugh?\u2019<\/p>\n

To reduce crime. <\/p>\n

‘Reduce crime!\u2019<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, Mr. New Castrati. Take a look: The cities that have the strictest gun control laws have the highest crime rates. <\/p>\n

‘Such as, Mr. Limbaugh? What are you speaking about?\u2019<\/p>\n

Washington, DC, your golden orchard. New York City. Wherever you look. The point is, this is irrelevant because a federal judge named Vinson in Pensacola has said that the government does not have, within the powers of the Constitution, to require every citizen have health insurance. So I could not pass a law, constitutionally, requiring you New Castrati people and everybody else to have a gun. The difference is, when I\u2019m told that, I say, ‘Okay, fine. Can\u2019t do it.\u2019 They\u2019ve just been told that their health care law is unconstitutional. Their reaction is, ‘Screw it. We\u2019re gonna keep on.\u2019 That\u2019s a violation of your rights, if you want to get down to the nit. In our country, ignore the Constitution, ignoring the law, your rights are being violated like you can\u2019t believe, under the guise, under the guise of affordable health care for all as a right. You are being bamboozled.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, the seat belt question is easy. ‘Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Limbaugh, there\u2019s a mandate you use seat belts, the federal government requires you to use seat belts when you\u2019re driving in your car.\u2019 Yeah, Mr. Castrati, but they don\u2019t mandate that I buy a car. I would have to have a car before I could be mandated to use your precious seat belts. But they cannot make me buy the car. So keep trying, folks. You\u2019re gonna bomb out. Keep trying to trip me up all you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
