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

RUSH: Here\u2019s Madeleine Albright. This was on Slay the Nation yesterday. Bob Schieffer. These guys, by the way… Schieffer and these old horses from way back when, these old media warriors, everything existed according to a formula of “world order,” and remember what they believed. They believed that the election of the hippest and coolest, first African-American Democrat president was gonna finally bring about this utopia they had all dreamed of since the days of Camelot.<\/p>\n

It had arrived with the election of Obama.<\/p>\n

And now the world is aflame, the world is on fire. There isn\u2019t any stability. Ebola breakouts now are getting out of the native countries in which they\u2019re happening. Three Americans have the disease now and it\u2019s spreading. They\u2019re scared to death. While we\u2019ve been sending money to fight AIDS and sending money like to Bill and Melinda Gates to build mosquito nets or something, all of a sudden here comes Ebola, which is spread by fruit bats. <\/p>\n

Nobody thought about fruit bats. Now, Ebola, there\u2019s no cure for that. It\u2019s deadly. It\u2019s spreading. It\u2019s the biggest outbreak in sub-Saharan Africa since, well, ever. Bono forgot about it and Bill and Melinda Gates forgot about it and Clintons forgot about it. All these charitable people dealing with poor countries of Africa, forgot. It\u2019s poor countries, and Ebola is breaking out, while everybody else is building mosquito nets for malaria.<\/line><\/p>\n

All we have to do is discredit Rachel Maddow to fix that. Anyway, the world is a mess, it\u2019s in flames, and these old warriors don\u2019t understand it. “It\u2019s supposed to have been fixed by now because everything they believed in was embodied by people who won elections and all they had to do was show up, Kerry and Obama.” <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a mess, and they don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Madeleine Albright. Schieffer said, “We have so much going on right now. It\u2019s almost — it\u2019s almost like we\u2019re caught up in events and out of control!”<\/p>\n

ALBRIGHT: There have been really two huge game changers, and one is: Putin\u2019s behavior vis-a-vis first Crimea and then now towards Ukraine, and a completely different, uh, kind of behavior by Russia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nooo.<\/p>\n

ALBRIGHT: And the other is what is happening in the Middle East, a lot of it due to the Arab awakening and also the to the artificiality of the borders that were established after World War I.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, come on! That\u2019s just —<\/p>\n

ALBRIGHT: There are an awful lot of things going on that need understanding and explanation but to put it mildly: The world is a mess.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is her foreign policy. It\u2019s exactly what she wanted: The United States out of it. This is exactly what they wanted. This was exactly what was gonna happen. This business of seeing “a different kind of behavior from Russia,” and this is one of the smartest people ever in Washington, Madeleine Albright?<\/p>\n

A different kind of behavior by Russia? (snorts) That\u2019s insulting. A different kind of behavior? They\u2019re behaving exactly as they did when she was secretary of state and the years before that! Different kind of behavior? What is causing the different kind of behavior? It\u2019s real simple: Her foreign policy, as epitomized by Obama and John Kerry and all the rest of them.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Madeleine Albright: the world\u2019s a mess, oh, it\u2019s so bad, Russia has changed their behavior. <\/p>\n

They have not. That\u2019s the whole point. These people are blind. Don\u2019t forget, either, ladies and gentlemen, Madeleine Albright was one of the experts in the 2012 campaign who mocked Romney and made fun of Romney when he said that Russia was our top geopolitical enemy. Romney made a point of saying keep everybody\u2019s eyes on Russia. And they were all laughing at him.<\/line><\/p>\n

They all mocked him and they all said he was out of date. In fact, Madeleine Albright said Romney\u2019s not up to date and that\u2019s a very dangerous aspect, that\u2019s just an example of his twentieth century approach to twenty-first century issues. And the truth of the matter is, these people are stuck in the twentieth century. They\u2019re stuck. It\u2019s like they\u2019re in this cocoon of comfort where the US is to blame, and if we would just stop being who we are, the world would clean up and be a wonderful, lovable place again, and they just can\u2019t leave it. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not hip. They\u2019re not cool. They have not become forward thinkers. They\u2019re not leading anybody on this. They are stuck. And so is Hillary. Hillary is of this mind-set, the Russian reset. She\u2019s stuck. She\u2019s got this same attitude they do. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I need to remind you about Madeleine Albright. This is back in 1998, it was an AP story. I\u2019ve never forgotten it. Albright says, “The US doesn\u2019t want to be sole superpower.” Remember this? And here is the money quote. “We very much don\u2019t want to be on –” by the way, this was to cover for Clinton. This is right in the middle of Lewinsky, and Clinton\u2019s bombing Iraq on Saturday night killing janitors trying to distract people after he bombed an acetaminophen plant somewhere in Africa to make it look like he was tough. He was rattling the chains about Saddam\u2019s chemical weapons and so forth. <\/p>\n

But Madeleine Albright said, “We very much don\u2019t want to be out there by ourselves as the organizer and the only superpower. People don\u2019t believe that. They think we just want to be King of the Hill, but we do not.” And she went on to talk about how the United States needed a competitor, that a single superpower would, by definition, destabilize the world. We needed somebody to rein us in. And so, you see, the moral equivalence. We weren\u2019t the good guys. We\u2019re just as bad as the bad guys. We\u2019re no different than the bad guys. Our intentions, our morality, our existence is no different.<\/p>\n

So she was very upset when the wall came down. She was very upset when the Soviet Union fell because it left us as the lone superpower, and that to her was a destabilizing thing, and to Obama and to John Kerry and to Hillary and to all of the modern-day Democrat Party. The United States is the problem in the world, it is not the solution. And the United States as the world\u2019s lone superpower is not good. And that\u2019s just absurd, folks. It is literally absurd. It\u2019s dumb, it is stupid, and it\u2019s classic of how people we\u2019re told are much smarter than we are, they\u2019re the best and the brightest, they\u2019re literal idiots. They\u2019re educated beyond any possibility of common sense. Not even educated. They are indoctrinated. But they\u2019re just wrong on everything. <\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re wrong as they can be and yet they get all these accolades, because they\u2019re supposedly so smart, and not just so smart, they\u2019re so much smarter than all the rest of us. That we just basically have to genuflect in their presence and thank God that they\u2019re alive to do for us what we can\u2019t do for ourselves and all the other happy horse manure. It gets frustrating. It\u2019s frustrating to have things so important run by blithering fools, dithering idiots. And we are surrounded by \u2019em. Well, I guess we always are to one extent or the other. <\/p>\n

But Albright, she said she was worried when the Berlin Wall was torn down. They never talk about why it was there, who put it up! They never talked about the impact of the existence of the wall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
