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

RUSH: Lancaster, Ohio. This is Michael. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. I appreciate your patience, too. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Mr. Limbaugh, very pleased to get to talk to you. First of all, I owe you an apology. I was a leftist Democrat for years that believed the lies that they told about you, and thankfully I turned the radio on one day and listened to you, and I\u2019ve been conservative since shortly after that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, it only took one day for you to learn the things you had heard were not true?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right. I turned the radio on, about… Well, my mother, my sister, and my brother are all leftists. They still are. My mother and sister passed away, but I still go back and back and forth with my brother about this. But I\u2019m not a Rand Paul gu<\/a>y. I spoke to Mr. Snerdley, and I mean no disrespect to Rand Paul, but I call him “Bland Paul,” B-L-A-N-D, because he has about as much chance to be president as I do. His speech delivery is like an eye doctor speaking to his patients, and that\u2019s what he is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s right. He is an eye doctor. I did hear a little bit… By the way, we\u2019ve got the sound bites here for you “Bland Paul” fans. Just kidding!<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: That\u2019s what Michael called him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: But I did hear him say that. He recounted that he was an eye surgeon, and he talked about a mercy mission that he had taken to Honduras with some other doctors to help people see.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes I admire him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So he is an eye surgeon. His dad, Ron Paul, is an OBGYN. He\u2019s an eye surgeon, and I heard him say that he wants to save the country. He wants to revive the country. He wants to be able to help people nationally the way he\u2019s been able to help \u2019em as a doctor.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, America has to be the preeminent country in the world, and when we\u2019re not, we see what happens. Senator Paul\u2019s foreign policy wouldn\u2019t be much different than what we got with Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So that\u2019s your big beef, foreign policy?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we have to… The world\u2019s falling apart, and I agree with some of the libertarian ideas, but the reason Ron Paul and Rand Paul are so popular among the college crowd is because libertarians think drugs ought to be legal.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I believe there are far too many laws, but I think we can go down that road. Look what\u2019s happening out in Colorado, and here in Ohio they\u2019re talking about trying to get marijuana legalized.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, they will at some point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know, but I\u2019m against it. I\u2019m 70 years old, I\u2019ve never taken drugs, and I think we have enough problems with alcohol.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve never puffed on a doobie?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I haven\u2019t. No. Never did. I\u2019ve smelled it at different concerts. I kind of like the smell, secondhand smoke of it, but I don\u2019t have any desire. I like to keep a clear mind.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Well, look, that\u2019s interesting. You think that the youthful attraction to Rand Paul and Ron Paul is the fact libertarians urge if not legalizing, certainly decriminalizing a lot of drugs. But I know it\u2019s not just that. It\u2019s also the draft. It\u2019s also there isn\u2019t gonna be any foreign policy. There isn\u2019t gonna be anybody being shipped around the world to fight wars, \u2019cause they\u2019re not gonna get us into any.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t believe the US has any role outside our borders; everybody else should fend for themselves. Basically Obama is putting that into play in the Middle East. The one aspect of Obama\u2019s foreign policy that does have an active tangent to it is the harming of Israel, but everything else he\u2019s just kind of thrown the doors open and let these guys figure it out themselves. I\u2019ve run into a lot of people who say, “Don\u2019t you think, Rush…?”<\/p>\n

The avowed socialist on the golf course I\u2019ve told you about said (impression), “Don\u2019t you think, Mr. Limbaugh, that the wise thing to is to just let those savages have at themselves! I mean, after all, we have been trying to manage those affairs for how many years, and it has not changed! It\u2019s only gotten worse or stayed the same. Why not back out like Obama is doing\u2019k and let them have at it?” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the avowed socialist said to me, and that\u2019s basically what the libertarian foreign policy is, and then you deal with the fallout as it ends. (interruption) Why is my e-mail gonna light up? (groans) Snerdley (laughing) is saying libertarians hate when I criticize \u2019em. How does anybody know I just criticized libertarians here? (interruption) I\u2019m just saying… (interruption) Well, what “is” is what “is.” <\/p>\n

Anyway, I get ripped in e-mails every day, Snerdley. Why is it gonna make a difference now? Why is it gonna start mattering now when it doesn\u2019t yesterday? You know, if you people really wanted to worry me out there, you\u2019d stop nagging me; then I would think I\u2019ve got a problem. If you really want to start playing head games with me, leave me alone. That\u2019s when you\u2019ll make me think maybe I\u2019m losing it. <\/p>\n

Just kidding. Just kidding. I\u2019m toying with you all the way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
