RUSH: Now, I asked a question at the top of the busy broadcast hour, the last hour, using one of the themes that I have profoundly developed today that politics is part of everything happening in America today. From the culture, to actual government-style politics, everything\u2019s political.<\/p>\n
However, the low-information crowd and young people, they run around saying, “I hate politics! I don\u2019t like it. Nobody out there tells the truth. All anybody does is argue; they never solve anything.” They have no idea how everything they are bombarded with out there is political. Everything at Twitter, Facebook, it\u2019s all political. Google is political. Everything\u2019s political. Movies, television shows, it\u2019s all political.<\/p>\n

\nYet they don\u2019t think it is. Global warming? Totally political. They think it\u2019s science. Only the people who disagree with it are political. Those are the Republicans, they think, and they hate “politics.” Therefore they hate the Republicans, and therefore the only people who are “political” are the Republicans. “The Democrats? They\u2019re just interested in helping people.” This is how it works.<\/p>\n
This is why I\u2019ve got this madcap desire to have everybody, as many as possible, understand the politics of everything they\u2019re hit with. Okay, so Ebola. We shared with you a couple of Facebook posts yesterday that were laced with obscenities about what you should do regarding Ebola, and basically it was, “Screw it! It\u2019s no big deal. You don\u2019t have anything to worry about.<\/p>\n
“If you don\u2019t have it, you\u2019re not gonna get it, so don\u2019t worry about it.” There\u2019s been an actual mean-spiritedness attached to people who are opposing being concerned about Ebola. Now the question, therefore, is: Why, to people…? Well, I\u2019ll not characterize them right now. Why is Ebola political? Why is you being concerned about Ebola making people mad? What is the politics? ‘Cause I\u2019ll guarantee you, it\u2019s all political.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: So what in the world has got the left so ticked off about people being concerned about Ebola? It\u2019s political, make no mistake, therefore, what is the politics of this?<\/p>\n
This, Snerdley, may be the way to do this. Rather than just do what I\u2019ve been doing for 25 years, take whatever the event is, I don\u2019t care, pop culture event, whatever, and say, “Okay, what is the politics? What\u2019s driving this?” You know, because global warming is a great example. To the young people that believe it, to the low-information crowd that believe it, to them it\u2019s science. The people politicizing it are the Republicans who are opposing it. Therefore they\u2019re anti-science, that means they\u2019re just political and they\u2019re not willing to listen to science. These are the same people that say they hate politics and do not know they\u2019re being bombarded. In fact they don\u2019t know that 90% of what they believe is due to political persuasion. It\u2019s totally escaped \u2019em, including science has been totally politicized.<\/p>\n
Science is nothing but a branch office of the Democrat Party now. And this is a mission of mine, is to somehow in my one possible little way here, this tiny little radio program with so much else out there, but I really have thought for the longest time that if we\u2019re really going to affect massive changing of minds, there are some basics that have to happen first. And one of the basics is that people who claim to hate politics and therefore don\u2019t want any part of it, and therefore automatically reject anybody they think is political, are gonna have to be taught and convinced that everything, the vast majority things is political and how to spot it.<\/p>\n
The left has been extremely artful in convincing everybody, particularly the low-information crowd, that there is not politics in anything. All there is is compassion, equality, freedom, love, what have you. It\u2019s all political. And they don\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones we go, and it\u2019s another female that we have on the phones, this is Jill in St. Louis. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hi, Jill.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, hi, Rush. I\u2019m a Rush Babe.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, it\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m also a Rush Baby. You\u2019ve really made my day with your discussion about politics being in everything, \u2019cause I never understood people\u2019s views of politics. It\u2019s really one of my pet peeves, and full disclosure: I\u2019m 39, and I started watching your TV show back in the nineties.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh!<\/p>\n
CALLER: I credit you for helping me get through that college period where I attended an uber-liberal arts, fine arts school.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: So I got all of the socialist professors and all that, but I came out on the other side thanks to you and my husband. (sigh) So what bothers me is people have this incorrect view of politics, and they say things like, you know, “Let\u2019s get the politics out of Washington,” which obviously doesn\u2019t make any sense. They always talk about politics being mean and dirty, and I get so irritated.<\/p>\n
I always tell my husband, “Politics is politics is politics.” You know, it is what it is, and it always has been. People have killed each other over politics when they had the duels, and I\u2019ve always looked at it as… You know, it\u2019s like a chess game where you just expose the other person\u2019s weaknesses. It\u2019s not always pretty, but I think it\u2019s just, you know, kind of part the participation in America.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I think you\u2019re on to something. Politics is its own business, and saying we gotta get the politics out of it something? Democrats have convinced a lot of people that they are not political. This is the thing that… I realized this I don\u2019t know how long ago, but it\u2019s a very long time ago. When I hear young people or anybody, say, “You know, I wish they\u2019d stop arguing.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t want to hear about politics,” they have no idea how much of their world is politicized. They have no idea how much political influence is being used on them. Yet they believe that they aren\u2019t involved in politics, that they\u2019re apolitical, and that the only people who are “political” are the Republicans. “The Democrats\u2019 motives are pure, they\u2019re just trying to help people, but it\u2019s the Republicans are always trying to stop them!<\/p>\n
“They\u2019re always arguing. The Republicans are never cooperating, never getting along.” For example, they don\u2019t see global warming as a political thing; they see it as “science” and just trying to save the planet. And since they hate politics, they hate anybody who stands in the way of doing good things in the era of science. It\u2019s been a frustrating thing to me to encounter it so much, because the key to having everybody understand who the Democrats are is to get them to be able to see just how political they are and what their politics is.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. I don\u2019t understand when people complain about politics. I just wish that they would take it and see it for what it is. Medicine tastes bad, you know? But it is what it is. It\u2019s medicine. So there\u2019s some of us who would like to get into political arena, but my goodness, if you were to ever mention that, you\u2019d be looked upon like a pariah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, your motives would be questioned. You\u2019d immediately be suspected of something among the people we\u2019re talking about. If you told \u2019em you wanted to get into politics, they would suspect you of something, because to them it\u2019s dirty. “It\u2019s dishonest. It\u2019s just extreme and it\u2019s arguing all the time. It\u2019s never compromising, never getting along with anybody, constant bickering. We hate it.”<\/p>\n
What they don\u2019t understand is politics is really not about the art of compromise. Politics is about winning and losing, like everything else in life. You know, you compromise with a family member. Maybe you have to have to compromise with the boss or whatever. But politics, it\u2019s about defeating. The things that you stand for in politics are core, principled beliefs, and you don\u2019t compromise those.<\/p>\n
You try to beat back the things trying to destroy what you believe in. Politics is not about compromise. See, that\u2019s another thing. The left has really succeeded in convincing all these low-information people that all politics is is compromise. “The Democrats, Obama just want to compromise, but, damn it, these Republicans just gotta stop the hatin\u2019! They just gotta stop the hatin\u2019!”<\/p>\n
They\u2019re the architects of it.<\/p>\n
Jill, I appreciate the call. I really do. It\u2019s very, very insightful, and I\u2019m happy to have you in the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
