Rush: A Series of Lies Undermines Our
Civilization
RUSH: I’m looking at the Stack of
Stuff and there’s some lighthearted stuff in here, but even the
lighthearted stuff has an edge to it. And it’s really incredible. I
remember the first five years of this program, maybe the first ten, the month
of December there was hardly any controversy, hardly any hard-hitting
news. I mean, there might have been exceptions, but we just don’t have
any let-up. There is not a let-up in the intensity of the news.
Here we are two days before Christmas, and
we’re still dealing with chaos, and we’re dealing with crisis one after
another. We’re dealing with facts right in front of our faces that tell
us of a crumbling civilization, actually. Not just a crumbling culture,
and not just a crumbling society, but a crumbling civilization. And,
believe me, that’s what’s at stake with all of this anti-cop stuff. And,
you know, there’s a great piece today by Heather Mac Donald. I printed the
piece out. It runs to five pages and I’m not gonna endeavor to read the
whole thing. I mean, I could. I could read the whole thing and keep you
locked into it.
Most people cannot read other people’s work for any length
of time and keep anybody interested. It delves into monotone and people just
lose interest. This might even be worth it to try, but I’m not going
to. Her basic thrust is that our civilization is literally being torn
apart by a series of lies, and the biggest lie that is being promulgated,
amplified, and serviced by the media, by the Democrat Party and by special
interest groups is this idea that the police exist to shoot black men.
That that is the purpose of police departments, is to shoot black men.
And that lie is getting people killed. And it is a lie.
You know, when the incident happened in St. Louis, in
Ferguson, Missouri, with the Gentle Giant, one of the reasons that made
legitimate news at the time is because it’s rare anymore that this kind of
thing happens. It’s rare, and it’s why it made news. But they
immediately — when I say “they,” I’m talking about the leftists — began to
immediately cast that story as common, everyday. When anybody countered with,
“No, no, no, the black murder rate in America is what it is because of
black-on-black crime,” you say that and you got pilloried. If you said
that you were attacked and people came after you and accused you of all kinds
of mean things, racism at the top. You were a divider, not a uniter. You
were a bigot.
But the fact remains that it’s true. The incidence of
police officers targeting and going hunting on black people, it’s a
falsehood. It is a big lie. And Heather Mac Donald documents it
with facts and data, and she makes the point here that people believe this lie
to the point now that when you tell ‘em the truth, they don’t believe
that. They don’t want to believe it and they don’t believe it. I’ll
tell you what services the lie the best is the black incarceration rate.
There are certain things that are true. The
incarceration rate for black males is higher than white males, expressed as a
percentage, and so that gives the agitators like Reverend Jackson and Reverend
Sharpton, they use that to prove the lie that police departments everywhere are
targeting black men and either killing them or accusing them of crimes and a
rigged jury system is finding them all guilty and that’s why they’re all in
jail. And then over here are the real statistics from the DOJ on
black-on-black crime. And you find that black-on-black crime dwarfs
whatever happens with police departments.
But the point is that it’s just an out-and-out lie.
And the whole thing about the truth being relative, that the truth can fall
prey to power, and does, way too often. But the way she has written, it’s
really good, the whole idea that a lie is getting people killed. And the
people servicing the lie are people like this lamebrain mayor, de Blasio.
The New York Times is out defending him and blaming others for stoking this
attitude, when he’s right in there leading the way. Obama has yet to
speak up on the two dead cops. He’s still playing golf. He
could do a lot to quell this if he wanted to, but he’s not doing
anything. What are we to believe, then? That he doesn’t want to do
anything or that it’s a local matter and we in the federal government don’t get
involved. It’s not true.
The New York Times, in an editorial on the 21st, a
couple days ago, actually wants Dick Cheney and all the interrogators of
Al-Qaeda prisoners at Club Gitmo brought before charges at The
Hague. War crimes charges, the New York Times is demanding this. Even the
Senate staff report, which was bogus, on the so-called interrogation techniques
and the torture that took place, even they do not think that anything they
reported is worthy of anybody being charged with anything. But the New
York Times is off and running on that, and of course they set the table for
much of the rest of the media to follow.
But that is just an example of how radicalized what
everybody thinks of as mainstream media has become. All this happening a
couple days, three days before Christmas, and no sign that it’s getting any
better. And then the mayor of New York, this guy is classic. In his
heart he’s an agitator. In his heart he’s a low rent community
organizer. He got elected mayor and he doesn’t have the slightest idea
how to responsibly run that office. He has taken every radical view that
he’s got, taken it right with him in its base form and is ruling the city with
this radical idea or the series of radical ideas that he’s had, not making any
adjustment whatsoever for being elected mayor, the whole concept of you’re
mayor of the whole city.
And apparently this guy, de Blasio, one of the defining
aspects of his character and his politics and has been, for most of his life,
police brutality. These people are just personally invested with the lie
that the cops are the biggest problem in America. And don’t
forget that piece that I shared with you yesterday from another
radical leftist disguised as a tech blogger. This guy is saying, “Well,
you know what, the reason we’re dealing with rogue cops this way is because we
give the military a blank check.” He has this comparison, the military is
out wantonly killing thousands of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan and
Syria, and the cops are asking for the same exemption. Well, hell, if the
military can kill citizens freely and at will, why can’t we in the police
department?
This is absurd, but the guy believes it, and he’s taught
this. But it’s genuine radical belief that has dwarfed any belief in what
would be called the reasonable left, if there is any of that left, or
remaining. And it’s just so much of what’s affecting this country, not
just the problem we’re having with race and the cops and the aftermath,
Ferguson, the grand jury there in Staten Island. So much of everything
that is attacking our basic civilization is the result of lies. Some big,
some little, but people believing them and acting on them, and people are
getting killed because of it, and the country is being torn apart because of
it.
Our civilization, some fear, is coming apart at the seams
because of a bunch of lies. You have basically a bunch of community
activists, agitators, organizers or whatever, who are used to not really being
heard by that many people. They go out and they raise hell, and if you’re
community organizing on a corner in Chicago, okay, big whoop. You take
that same behavior to the White House, you take the same behavior to Gracie
Mansion, city hall, you are starting to affect real people and real life with
this radical, stupid, cockamamie belief system that you’ve got.
It’s one thing to be in the neighborhood shouting all this
stuff about police brutality or this or that and people go walking on by. But
then you take that same behavior untempered and put it in positions of real
power and you’ve got people who have no idea of the results of their actions or
words. Maybe they do. Maybe I’m cutting ‘em too much slack.
Maybe they know exactly what they’re doing and they’re doing it on
purpose. I don’t know. Whatever, it isn’t helpful. And it’s
coming from the people that claim to love us and claim to be tolerant and claim
to be the ones that have all the compassion. They’re the good people,
right? They’re the ones that care.
They’re getting people killed. They are in the process
of taking the rivets, if you will, out of our civilization. And they seem
to be doing it happily. So this stuff is happening, and it’s two days
before Christmas. These people used to take a break at least a couple
weeks before Christmas. So it’s there, and we are going to address it
because that’s what we do. We keep you up to speed, make the complex
understandable and keep you advised of the absolute latest on everything.
