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

RUSH: Saratoga Springs, this is Jim. Great to have you on the program. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I just wanted to say your first hour was brilliant. I just wanted to follow up on that thought about the New York Times article and the mind of the liberal thinking person and the policies of this administration. Basically it goes up to the top. That the administration, the State Department is infested with liberals, and they feel the same way. They don\u2019t want Europe to go back to be conservative. They feel the same way exactly as the New York Times do. They don\u2019t want us to come out and basically state what\u2019s going on, that radical Islam is a threat to the world. The president of the United States yesterday made a comment that this is the action of a few and then he —<\/p>\n

\"original\"RUSH: Was that, can I stop you? Jim, Jim —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — was his statement not pathetic?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was pathetic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: For crying out loud, in light of what just happened it was weak, limp-wristed. It was so pathetic, I can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree. And how does anybody in the media not question this? What is wrong with you, Mr. President? I thought you were a smart man. This has been going on, every week we have some kind of attack. It\u2019s astounding that this continues to go on, and he says these stupid things, and that\u2019s my point. It\u2019s just that that\u2019s what liberals do. They do not want to accept the fact that because they fear a backlash of conservativism, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going on in Europe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s right, but it\u2019s not that they don\u2019t want to see it. They see it. Do not doubt for a moment they see it. They don\u2019t want you seeing it that way. That\u2019s why Obama\u2019s not gonna call it terrorism. It\u2019s why he\u2019s not gonna refer to militant Islamist terrorism or jihad or any of that. And it\u2019s why the New York Times is writing, “Oh, my God, the worst thing, oh, no, oh, no.” Worried about people turning to right-wing governments in the aftermath of this. That\u2019s their big fear. Dangerous moment for Europe. Right here it is in the New York Times headline<\/a>: “‘Dangerous Moment\u2019 for Europe as Fear and Resentment Grow.” <\/p>\n

And so that\u2019s why it\u2019s the magazine\u2019s fault, folks. That\u2019s why so many leftists in the media, even the initial, the knee-jerk reaction, even though it was journalists who were attacked and killed, the knee-jerk reaction was to blame them in solidarity with the attackers. To the extent that the great fear that leftists, be they in politics or the media or wherever have, here and in Europe, is the election of conservative governments. That\u2019s a bigger fear than Islam is to them. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ll find a way, in their minds they\u2019ll find a way to deal with it. However, public opinion shifting to supporting right-wing governments, and what\u2019s that gonna mean. If they\u2019re worried about public opinion shifting: “‘Dangerous Moment\u2019 for Europe as Fear and Resentment Grow.” They realize that people don\u2019t want to be defenseless, and they realize that people, average American citizens, do not want to be powerless. And this is the real thing, folks. Leftists live in constant fear that people will discover they are horrible stewards of the public peace, and then be thrown out. <\/p>\n

Remember, all of liberalism is a lie and they must sell this lie or these series of liberal lies to as many people as often as they can. The big lie, of course, is that the answer to every cultural and societal problem resides in smart people in government making the decisions. And they constantly live in a state of anxiety or fear that they\u2019re going to be exposed as unable to do what they say. And when you have an attack like this, with the cops and no guns, showing up on bicycles, they are patently worried that their policies, that their beliefs, will be exposed as worthless when it comes to protecting people, public safety, security, and all it is. <\/p>\n

After all, these are the people, the leftists, who have convinced people to trade away some of their liberty for security. They\u2019ve convinced them to give away some of their freedom for safety, and if the left can\u2019t keep people safe, well, they\u2019ve got a problem. So when something like this happens, it gets downplayed. “No, no, no, no, no, it\u2019s a one off. no, no, no, no, no, not militant Islam. The big problem here is backlash against these poor Muslims. The big problem here is the rise of right-wing government. Don\u2019t believe what you see. The big problem you people face in France is not further attacks. No, no, no, no. The biggest problem is you might elect a conservative government.” That\u2019s their belief. And they know they\u2019re living these lies and they are hell-bent on making sure you never discover it. <\/p>\n

So an attack like this, there\u2019s no greater expose of a liberal government\u2019s incompetence than something like this, or a school shooting, or any other mass murder, or grand jury decisions that don\u2019t go their way. Remember, they have convinced people to give up a little freedom here, a little security there, for security, for safety. The government will take care of it for you. The government will do it for you. The government didn\u2019t do a thing for anybody and didn\u2019t have the weapons, the means, or the ability to do anything yesterday. And the left is terribly worried people are gonna figure this out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
