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

RUSH: We start Long Beach, California, with John. Thanks for calling, sir. You are up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How you doing? I interviewed you one time many years ago in Long Beach, when you were here back around 1992 when you were emerging as a force. But, anyway, that\u2019s not what I called about. I wanted to agree with you and your contention that — I\u2019ve been in the newspaper business, in journalism, for 36 years now. The first week I started was when the hostage crisis started in 1979 so, you know, I go back that far. <\/p>\n

And I can tell you that there\u2019s no doubt, and you said it before, and I\u2019m a member in good standing with a lot of these people, but I\u2019ve become more conservative as I\u2019ve gotten older, and they haven\u2019t. When I disagree with them I get looked at like, you know, you seem like such an intelligent guy, John, I mean, how could you possibly be talking this way. I think the reason is, and you\u2019ve mentioned it, too, that they view conservative thought as evil, going back to when we were all Baby Boomers trying to save the world and everything. They view it as evil, and anything you do to be evil is considered to be okay, like Harry Reid when he does that about Mitt Romney. That\u2019s okay for them to do it, because they\u2019re beating the bad guys, the evil, and it doesn\u2019t matter. <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how they justify it. That\u2019s why the New York Times, which I shock my journalistic friends by saying I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a great newspaper because it\u2019s too imbalanced in its coverage about important issues. They would never do the Hillary Clinton kill shot. They will never do it on Benghazi. They will do it for somebody else but they will never bring themselves to take her out, because she represents a bigger cause. <\/p>\n

You know, I could go on, give you other examples, but I think that\u2019s what prevails. And I can tell you straight up that\u2019s what happens. You mentioned somebody the other day said, “Well, the immigration is broken, immigration system is broken.” I just ask, “Well, who broke it?” And you could just feel the disappointment, you know, of course I\u2019m pointing out that, you know, the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait, wait, wait, wait. When they say the immigration system is broken, they say the law isn\u2019t working, and that\u2019s wrong. The immigration system is being corrupted. Like everything else, the law is the law, and it works. It\u2019s just not being enforced. It\u2019s being corrupted. And then when that happens they claim the law isn\u2019t good. The law is not accommodating current reality like they say about the Constitution, the Second Amendment and so forth. Yeah, I know they look at conservatism as evil, but they look at it as otherworldly, too. <\/line><\/p>\n

I know this is gonna be hard for people to believe. It\u2019s a psychological thing. Most uber-leftists do not even think of themselves as that. I mean this psychologically. They think they are normal. They call themselves pragmatists. Anything not them is what\u2019s odd, weird, kooky, major minority, really, really small, unhip, uncool, whatever. They are ideologues, but they don\u2019t have to calculate their ideology every day. It\u2019s just who they are and it\u2019s how they operate. And it is what guides them. I mean, they are that first, second, and third. They are liberals first, liberals second, liberals third, whatever else they are then weighs in. <\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not open to an alternative point of view \u2019cause there isn\u2019t one, in their minds. There is no “other side” to any story. It\u2019s just a bunch of kooks over there who got this crazy ass belief system that, gee, man, this is weird, and they treat people that way. It\u2019s not very complicated at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
