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

RUSH: Here\u2019s Lee in New York City. I\u2019m glad you called. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. If the voters are too stupid, and the media is not too far behind, why do you think the brilliant and independent Supreme Court drank the Kool-Aid?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do I think the Supreme Court drank the Kool-Aid?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Why do you think they bought it? They\u2019re not that stupid. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re that stupid.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019ve got the four libs that mix the Kool-Aid. You\u2019ve got the four conservatives, then you\u2019ve got John Roberts. Look, I don\u2019t know. I can only guess, educated based on things — I\u2019ve heard that there were all kinds of attempts, that he was originally with the five conservatives then changed. I don\u2019t know. The thing I\u2019ve heard that made the most sense to me — and it could be dead wrong — was that the chief justice just didn\u2019t have the stomach to declare something passed by Congress unconstitutional. Just didn\u2019t want to go there. And so rewrote the parts it that were problematic to make it okay. I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Harry in Sebastian, Florida. Hi, Harry. I\u2019m glad you called. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush. Thank you so much for taking my call. I really appreciate it, and if you don\u2019t mind me taking the liberty, I\u2019d like to give a shout out to James Marshall Timberlake, he\u2019s my first grandson born November 2nd. But I thank you. The reason I called is that I believe there\u2019s an American who has been vilified who really is a hero concerning Obamacare, and that is Chief Justice John Roberts. Had he done what all of us expected him to do to find it unconstitutional, you would not have had the Republican landslide in 2010; you would not have had the Republican landslide in 2014; you would not be talking about Jonathan Gruber <\/a>today. <\/p>\n

Who would get these videos? We see now how the progressive Democrats, how they are condescending and what they think of us. I think Justice Roberts, by doing what he did, taking the vilification at that time, is now, over time, being shown that he did the correct thing to actually begin to change the direction of this country from a country that believed in Big Government, progressive liberalism —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to know where it started that the way we win is to have liberalism implemented so that everybody can learn how rotten it is. When did that start? “John Roberts did a great thing by letting this thing be proclaimed constitutional. That way we\u2019ve exposed these people for who they really are.” We didn\u2019t need this! If Roberts had found this thing unconstitutional the 2010 elections would have been the same because Obama would have stayed the same. He would have found a way to get this done some other way. He wouldn\u2019t have just taken his chips and gone home and cried about it. <\/p>\n

\"original\"But, look, I\u2019m not trying to be disrespectful to the caller. I try never to do that. I just don\u2019t get this. It\u2019s a derivative of 1992. I had people call here, “Rush, go ahead and let Clinton win. Let him win. And people will find out. That\u2019s the only way. The media\u2019s not gonna tell the truth. We have to have people actually live this crap. It\u2019s the only way they\u2019re gonna figure it out.” <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, Clinton is a rock star in the Democrat Party. Barack Obama got elected. I don\u2019t see this working. We have Obamacare that\u2019s the law of the land with a Republican Party that doesn\u2019t appear to be all that energized to do that much about it, and we\u2019re the on verge here of having the immigration laws on the books count for nothing. We had an election based on the fact that people are opposed to all this, and it isn\u2019t stopping any of this stuff from happening, which is the bottom line to me. <\/p>\n

This stuff has got to stop. And federal elections are not, by any way, shape, manner, or form, enough. And certainly one of them isn\u2019t. There are gonna have to be many, many more of these. I\u2019m not even talking about John Roberts here. ‘Cause his point, the caller\u2019s point really is, Roberts, by not calling this thing unconstitutional gave us this great gift, Obamacare, and now people see what it really is. <\/p>\n

You see, my frustration stems from the fact that you didn\u2019t need John Roberts not doing his duty. All you had to do was listen to me. All you had to do, January of 2009. (interruption) No, and I\u2019m not making it about me. But it was not anything special or unique to be able to know what we were in store for. It was out there to know. It was out there to learn. <\/p>\n

It was rejected. I just… (interruption) Well, Fournier doesn\u2019t see anything wrong with liberalism<\/a>. I do. Fournier doesn\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with it, because liberalism is great to him. Compassion and fairness, it\u2019s the uninsured getting covered, and it\u2019s the cost curve being bent down, and it\u2019s the hungry being fed, and it\u2019s the thirsty being quenched, and it\u2019s conservatives getting beaten, and it\u2019s all kinds of cool things. (interruption) I know. Everything I said was going to happen is happening, including the death panels. Everything I said. <\/p>\n

You think it\u2019s not frustrating? Because it didn\u2019t take anything special. All it requires is a knowledge of liberalism and a willingness to admit what it is and who they are and what they do. You don\u2019t even have to believe it when somebody tells you. The world is replete with examples of it, including our own country. Anyway, we\u2019re pounding previous ground here \u2019cause that gets us into the media\u2019s role in it, and I don\u2019t want to rehash old territory. <\/p>\n

But this idea that we somehow are really gaining ground here as our enemies implement their ideas escapes me. I don\u2019t see them pulling that trick on us. “Let\u2019s let the conservatives win a little bit, then the people will find out just how extreme it is! Let\u2019s let the conservatives win. Let\u2019s have women find out how much they hate \u2019em and let\u2019s let the conservatives win, and let\u2019s find out how much, whatever. The pro-lifers, how much they hate people.” <\/p>\n

I never see them using this trick. I never hear them campaigning on it. I never once hear anybody on the left say, “You know what? Let these Republicans win. Ha-ha. Let the country see what a bunch of wackos they are. Yeah, let the Republicans win and let them implement all this prosperity, and let\u2019s see how much the American people hate it.” I never see that happening. I don\u2019t know where it got started. Probably Clinton, but I think it probably predates that. Well, some of it may be trying to be optimistic, trying to see hopeful signs in absolutely disastrous events and trying to turn chicken whatever into chicken salad. I understand that. <\/p>\n

Anyway, look, I gotta take a break, and I do have this Stack of Stuff, little things going on out there that while we\u2019re talking about all this big stuff, nobody sees. You thought that I had forgotten and wasn\u2019t gonna get to it, and you are wrong. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
