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

RUSH: George in Raleigh, North Carolina, really glad you waited. You\u2019re next, sir, on the EIB Network. Hi. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. How are you? <\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m fine and dandy. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Great to be able to talk to you again. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Great to have you here again. Thank you. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, sir. The conversation over the past couple of days regarding the anger in the American electorate, I reflect back on my life and think about decisions I\u2019ve made in anger and they\u2019ve always ended poorly for me. And as a student of history, I think back to nations that also had an angry populace, it hasn\u2019t ended well for them either. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is it safe to say that in your life — do you regret every decision you have made when it was made in anger or knee-jerk, immediate reaction to something that ticked you off? Do you regret every one of those decisions? <\/p>\n

CALLER: All the ones that I can recall. All the ones that were meaningful. I definitely do. And I think that sometimes decisions sparked in anger, if you let yourself reflect and cool down, I think that maybe anger, you know, may have sparked the idea, but the solution, once you calm down, could be totally different. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So how does that manifest itself in this campaign? You think there are too many angry people supporting Trump and you think they ought to back off? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah, I mean, I think so. I mean, again, as a student of history, you know, it\u2019s an angry populace that gave Castro to Cuba. It was an angry populace that gave Marxism to the Russians. It was an angry populace that gave Napoleon to Europe. We\u2019re getting ready to hand the greatest military that man has ever known over to a man that on his best day seems a little bit unhinged. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re talking about Obama? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s another good example. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well — <\/p>\n

CALLER: I have somebody else in mind, actually. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. Well, look, I\u2019m mad. I\u2019ve been mad for seven freaking years, legitimately so. I\u2019m mad and I can\u2019t tell you what kind of things are going on out there. Am I irrationally mad about it? I don\u2019t think so, but I\u2019m mad. I\u2019m not spending my day in rage. That is not my main point. But, I mean, I am not docile about stuff going on out there. I think I\u2019ve been pretty patient. I think a lot of other people have been pretty damn patient. They have been promised and promised and promised, and it\u2019s never happened, and so some of the rage is understandable. <\/p>\n

I understand what you\u2019re saying, that in the fit of emotion, at the peak when you are livid, that\u2019s when they say sleep on it, and that\u2019s good advice. When you wake up, you always have a much less intense feeling than you did before you went to bed when you\u2019re angry about anything. But, anyway, George, I appreciate it. It\u2019s interesting topic, and we will have more of it, I\u2019m sure, as the program unfolds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
