Republicans Didn’t Want to Fight the Culture Wars and Now Infanticide Is
Legal in New York, by Rush Limbaugh, 1/24/19.
RUSH I came across a
piece today… In fact, it may be time to do this. I was gonna do this later on
in the program, because it really doesn’t tie into anything, except it just
did. It ties into something else here, but this is exactly what real resistance
looks like. We haven’t had any resistance on our side. The Covington kids story
is a classic illustration of why we’re not even on the field. The Democrats are
on the field moving the ball.
Our party isn’t on the
field. Our media, conservative media is all we have. But, you know, we’re the
cheerleaders. We’re on the sidelines. We’re not running for office. We don’t
get votes. We don’t have offices in the capital. Donald Trump is it, and he’s
got no support. Remember when Karl Rove and George W. Bush would not respond to
any of the criticism? I mean, and some of it was vile, slanderous and libelous.
It was… (sigh) It was depravity. They wouldn’t
respond to it because they didn’t want to sully the great office of the
presidency by taking it into the gutter of politics, and so the media and the
left pretty much had free rein. They were allowed to attack and say whatever
they wanted to about Bush — and, by extension, us, voters. We were never
defended, either. I’ll give you another example. Do you remember the
construction of, “Well, I am a social liberal but a fiscal conservative.”
Remember that, by
people on our side — and who was it saying that? Well, the so-called moderates
who are embarrassed by pro-lifers and conservatives. So these were the people
constantly bellyaching. (impression) “You’ve gotta stop talking about abortion!
We’re losing! We’re getting our butts kicked! Abortion? Just get rid of it!
It’s never gonna change anyway. You gotta stop!” These guys, their wives were
nagging them and all. These were moderate so-called Republicans. Hell, I ran
into it all the time.
I can’t tell you the
number of moderate — so-called moderate — Republican women who wouldn’t know
fighting back against the Democrats if their kid lives depended on it, coming
up to me, “You gotta stop talking about abortion and you gotta get them to
stop! It’s killing us. We’re never gonna win a thing.” So the thinking was that
if we would just stop talking about “the social issues,” which is where we were
losing everything! That’s where the culture war was taking, was where we were
losing our society, losing our morality, losing our culture.
And our side has this
massive contingent that wanted to give it up, not fight for it because fiscal
conservatism, money, the economy. “That’s how people won elections, not on this
social stuff.” So the great moderates on our side were constantly advocating,
“Forget the social issues. Don’t talk about abortion. It embarrasses me. It
embarrasses us. We have to go to convention and hang around those people. We
need to focus on the economy. We need to focus on telling people we’re best for
their back pockets.” So that the left was never engaged, folks, except from the
sidelines by us.
The left was never engaged, and they still
aren’t being, other than by Trump, as they attempt to essentially destroy —
literally blow up — the moral foundation of the founding of this country. While
the left is largely to blame for it because of what they’ve done, by the same
token, Never-Trump conservatives and Republican moderates are also responsible
for the state of it because they have not done anything to stop it. Years and
years and years of not resisting it, not fighting back, acquiescing. “Yeah, I’m
a social liberal but a fiscal conservative.”
They were this demanding we not push back, not
even on abortion! Demanding we forget that so as not to lose the moderates in
the upcoming election. Well, guess what’s happened? The left has now bullied
and conquered all the moderates and turned them into budding young leftists.
There aren’t any moderates anymore, have you noticed? There’s a greater partisan
divide now than there was even in the 1960s. My point is, the left in this
country has not had any political opposition. They’ve had media opposition from
us on the sidelines, but we’re not on the field.
And I’m not making
excuses. I’m suggesting to you that we have not had… The left looks like
they’ve steamrollered us like a hot knife through butter. It’s only because
nobody has ever attempted to stop ’em, except maybe on the pages of magazines
or in policy papers published by think tanks that nobody reads. But in terms of
actually fighting back on the specifics and on the aggression of the left? It’s
not even a matter of fighting back. They haven’t even been on the field.
Only conservative
media — alternative media, it’s called — has been opposed. But we’re not on the
playing field, folks, honest to God. Because, you know, we’re not seeking
office, getting votes. We don’t have offices there and votes, and so we’re not
there. All we can do is try to rev up as many voters as we can to oppose the
left but we’re doing it alone — and let me tell you how it manifests itself.
Are you aware of the…?
What is the name of this bill? It’s something passed in New York. It is the…Well,
I don’t know the name of the bill. But this was in the New York Senate
yesterday. Ready for this? “By a vote of 38-24, abortion was voted on in the
New York Senate to be added to the New York Constitution as a constitutional
right.” But wait. We’re just getting started. The New York State Senate
yesterday voted 38-24 “to allow non-physicians to perform abortions.” The New
York State Senate voted yesterday 38-24 “to allow abortion through the third
trimester.”
But the pure evil is
in the last part of the bill. The New York State Senate voted 38-24 yesterday
“to repeal protections for babies that survive abortions.” The abortion
business in New York has just been voted on as constitutional by the New York
State Senate. Now, here in Florida, I could be minding my own business and a
cop can come to my front gate and demand to come into my backyard and check my
lights if there is an allegation that one turtle egg might hatch and not go to
the ocean.
I can be… Any of us
here who live on the coast, for eight months a year are threatened with all
kinds of punishment. We’re reminded constantly every February, ’cause the
restrictions go into place on March 1st. One turtle egg hatches, and the little
turtle hatchling goes the wrong direction, and we are guilty of a crime if
we’ve had our lights on too powerfully. But killing a baby in New York after it
survives an abortion is legal — and was applauded in a standing ovation in the
New York State Senate chamber.
They were celebrating.
I think the move is that you can now get a legal abortion in New York up to
your due date. Now, this is the Senate. This is just the State Senate vote
we’re talking about. This is what happens when there’s no pushback, and our
side was telling us to abandon this! It was the focal point and the crux of the
culture war. The entire fight over the value of life, the value of human life —
which has now, on the left, becomes secondary in status to turtle eggs in south
Florida or to any number of other of animals in certain circumstances.
The ability to go
ahead and kill a child that survives an abortion gets a standing ovation. Now,
we’re told years ago that the Republican Party’s killing itself by resisting
this and trying to oppose this. “Just forget it! Let’s focus on our fiscal
conservatism. That’s how we’ll win elections, ’cause there’s all kinds of
moderates out there. They care about their back pockets more than they do
abortion. We’re scaring ’em off talk about abortion. We need to focus on the
economy.” So now we’ve got an entire so-called conservative movement which
doesn’t resist anything.
And in fact, its first
inclination is to side with the left rather than be embarrassed and oppose the
left. In a late-term abortion, which New York has just legalized in the State
Senate, the baby’s killed. Delivery is induced. They deliver the child anyway
after they have terminated life. My question, why bother with it? If you can
legally kill a fetus after it’s born, then why not just wait to do that? Why go
through this whole abortion business in the first place?
I mean, this law’s
allowing doctors to deliver the child and then end its life, if that was the
intention. And then you suggest, “Hey, if you’re gonna do that be deliver the
child, put it up for adoption.” “Get outta here! No way. You don’t have the
right to tell us about adoption.” They’ll shoot down adoption as an option
faster than you can bring it up. What kind of people cheer this? But you should
see ’em. There’s a little video, a looped gif file, that shows standing
ovations throughout the New York State Senate chamber when all this was
announced.
And we were told,
“Don’t stand up! Don’t resist this. Oh, no, no, no! Social liberal, fiscal
conservative. That’s who we are. Yeah, that’s what we’ve been.” Even now, I’ll
bet you this isn’t gonna bother any people. But this is why the left appears to
be winning with no opposition (chuckles) because they really haven’t had any.
We’ve been voting for people promising to oppose but it really hasn’t
manifested. That’s why nobody is gonna abandon Donald Trump, ’cause he is it,
the only one who pushes back.
This is what it looks
like. I told you after he was elected: It’s not gonna be pretty. You can’t go
back and relive the past, but some of this… It’s a shame. It should not have
ever happened. If there were just some simple opposition fighting for the
hearts and minds of the American people, engaging these people in their
depravity. It didn’t happen, except in conservative media — which, of course,
the left has done its best to disabuse and impugn and destroy credibility.
RUSH: I just got some
of the most incredible emails. “Rush, how can they…? How can they do this? How
can somebody know their due date is Saturday and then go kill their baby on
Thursday? What doctor would do this?” Okay. In New York State, it’s now
constitutional for a non-doctor to do an abortion. So you don’t need a doctor
without a conscience.
But, folks, I don’t
know how many times — and I took so much heat. I’m not complaining. I’m just
reliving it here. I’m recounting it. It almost was as bad as when I didn’t
support Perot back in 1992, and people threatening to leave the audience. Same
thing. “If you don’t stop talking about this abortion stuff, Rush, you’re gonna
lose half of us!”
But I persisted,
because if we’re not gonna stand up for life (chuckles), then what other aspect
of our politics or existence is worth defending? But, anyway, I tried to point
out to people that this is why there are things like “the unviable tissue
mass.” “It’s not a baby. It’s not even human. Why, who knows when conception
really happens?” All these arguments were designed to tell women that they
weren’t really carrying human babies. “You’re not aborting a child. You’re
getting rid of an illness.” Remember that? “It’s an illness!”
Remember Planned
Parenthood and the feminazis running around detailing all the horrible things
that can happen to women because of pregnancy? We had the unviable tissue mass,
and then basically a man’s got no right — a father has no right — in any of
this. It’s a woman’s body, and she’s the only one can do anything about it. And
as to how do you abort something on Thursday when your due date is on Friday,
Saturday. Well, part and parcel of the magic the left pulled off on this was to
convince — and these are poor women doing this.
That’s another thing. “It
doesn’t matter! You want to bring a child, poor child into this squalid house
you live in, into this horrible neighborhood. You don’t want to bring a child
into this.” They did every trick in the book to further this. It got to the
point where even legally, they would tell women, “If you don’t want it, it
doesn’t exist. If you don’t want the child, then it’s not even really there.
There’s no problem with aborting it,” and that became determinant. If you
wanted it, then it totally became a different thing. If you didn’t want it, it
never was a baby.
It was some of these
other things, and we just answered, “Fiscal conservatism! That’s our trick.
That’s our answer. Fiscal conservatism.” Right.
RUSH: I really had not
intended to get into this at this stage. I was gonna save this for later in the
program. I had a different bridge built to it. But I may as well. Grab audio
sound bite 21. I just want you to hear the applause after I again tell you what
the New York State Senate passed. This is called the Reproductive Health Act.
It’s a bill that “expands abortion access” and codifies the right to abortion
in the New York Constitution. But here are the elements of this. Abortion is
added to the New York Constitution. Nonphysicians are allowed to commit
abortions, to perform them.
Non-doctors? Whatever
happened to the back-alley abortions with the coat hangers being objectionable?
Whatever happened to that? Allow abortion through the third trimester and then,
Governor Cuomo, up to your due date! See, if there’s no doctor involved, if you
don’t have to have a doctor… I thought all this was about protecting the life
of the mother. You know, if you go back and just remember (or have somebody
remember for you) all of the arguments that have been made over the years for,
quote-unquote, “a woman’s right to choose,” all of this becomes eminently
understandable.
For example, the
back-alley abortions, the coat hangers. “No, we can’t have that! That’s why we
need to legalize abortion. Too many women are being harmed or hurt and so
forth.” It was all about protecting the life of the mother, but it isn’t about
that anymore, folks. This is about taking the life of a child. That’s all this
is. It used to be… I mean, they made every effort to convince people that it
was only about the life and the health of the mother, but it’s gone so far
beyond that as evidenced by abortion up to your due date — and, like I say, I
got some emails.
“Why would…? If your
due date’s Saturday, why in the world…? How could you? You’re nine months. How
could you?” (sputtering) You have to remember what they’ve done. You have to
remember what the left has done from kindergarten on for the last 30 years.
They’ve dehumanized human contraception and birth. They’ve dehumanized it, by
design and on purpose. It isn’t a child if you don’t want it. It’s… You’ve
heard the terms. “It’s an illness, it’s dangerous, it’s risky, it’s an unviable
tissue mass.” You’ve heard all of that.
But the key to it is
that the fetus and the child… That’s what all the arguments about, “When does
contraception happen? When does contraception begin?” That’s why all those
arguments. The left has been hell-bent on convincing as many women — and men,
too — that it’s not a baby, until it’s born and the mother wants it. If the
mother doesn’t want it and it’s born, you can still now, in New York, get rid
of it it. They just repealed protections for surviving babies. This is what
Obama voted for as a state senator in Illinois! If the baby survived abortion,
you could go ahead and…
For those of you who
think this is easy for me to talk about because it’s scoring political points,
you’re as wrong as you can be. But I don’t… What else do you call it? A baby
survives an abortion and you can still terminate the baby. You can still kill
it. If that was the intention in Illinois — and Obama voted for that, and then
tried to hide and run away from that all during his presidential campaign. They
just made that legal in New York. They have repealed any protections for babies
that survive abortion under the premise nobody wanted that baby.
“It’s not a baby
because it’s not wanted. It was gonna be born in poverty. It was gonna be born
into…” Well, they can’t say “single-parent family” because they’ve lionized
those. But they came up with all kinds of existing circumstances that would
justify abortion. Poverty, violence. “Who would want to bring a child into that
atmosphere?” they said. Anything to validate, and it’s not… If you mention
adoption, they’re gonna shout you down and they’re gonna pummel you. That’s not
an option because we’re not talking about a human being.
This is how they’ve done it, starting in kindergarten 30 or 40
years ago. They gradually inculcate the idea that we’re not even talking about
a person here. “It’s potential illness. It’s a potential complication. It’s a
risk! It’s just an unviable tissue mass,” and they get little sonograms and
they show you something the size of your little finger. “Come on! That’s
nothing.” But when you’re two days away from your due date? For them to pull
this off, they have literally had to rip God out of countless lives, and
they’ve had to do something with conscience.
They’ve had to find a way to erase conscience, and they’ve done
that by basically saying, “The father has got no role whatsoever. It’s totally
up to you. It’s your body. Nobody can tell you what to do — and if you don’t
want it, then it doesn’t exist anyway. If you do want it, that’s a different thing
— and we’re gonna fight you on that. But if you don’t want it, then
hunky-dory.” When all of this was announced — audio sound bite No. 21 — this is
what happened in the senate. NEW YORK STATE SENATE: (wild cheering and
applause)
RUSH: Now, that’s just seven seconds of it. We could have made a
loop, ’cause it went on and on. They gave a standing
ovation for this. So this was not passed into law as something that they thought
is necessary and needed but makes everybody very uncomfortable. Because many of
these people over the years said, “No, this is not… We just need to do this for
the life of the mother, and we need to do this for women’s rights and right to
choose. Of course, we’re not comfortable with it.” It’s just exact opposite.
They are now celebrating!
They think they’re celebrating a women’s right to the choose in
here, but what are they ultimately celebrating? I have a statistic here — let
me throw it out at you — that I have here at the bottom of the Stack. Yes. This
is from Congresswoman Christina Hagan.
Planned Parenthood, from their report — the official report from
2017 to 2018. Planned Parenthood
performed 332,757 abortions during the reported year. That’s about the
size of Cleveland. They did 2,831 adoption referrals, which is down from 3,800
the previous year. So Christina Hagan here says (paraphrased), “Why do they
still call themselves Planned Parenthood since parenthood isn’t anything of
what they do?”
Of course, Planned Parenthood never has been about parenthood.
Planned Parenthood — and if you pointed this out, they came after you. Market
Sanger! It’s eugenics. Planned Parenthood was about ways to get rid of
“undesirable people in society,” according to the elites of the day, and those
“undesirables” were the poor and African-Americans. That’s how this whole
thing, this whole organization started. But you better not say that today.
You’d better not do anything to criticize this movement today.
Now, the reason this came up in the first hour, and I didn’t
intend it to, is that something prompted me. I think it was a story about the
Covington High School kids, and we all know what happened here. Basically, the
left comes out with its narrative, and even people on our side race to condemn
them before waiting to find out what happened. They race to condemn them
because they… Well, all the obvious reasons. They want the approval of the
media. They want to be… You know what? I think it’s something else.
I think people on our side, the so-called conservative
intellectuals and Never Trumpers, you know what I think? I think to them, the
media is legitimate, and they want to be part of it! They want to be seen as a
legitimate part of it! Even though they may be conservative, they think they
are in “the media.” And, therefore, they do not want “the media” criticized or
condemned because that’s where they work! Now, they’re not leftist Democrats,
but the media as an institution, they want it to be seen as something rigorous
and wonderful and worthwhile because that’s where they work.
And, of course, they want to be seen by other practitioners of
the craft (i.e., journalism) as legitimate. So their natural tendency is to
side with other journalists, even if they’re wacko liberals. And that’s exactly
what happened. And it just epitomized and illustrated once again the biggest
problem that we have had and why Donald Trump was elected is that our side
hasn’t even been on the field fighting any of this for 30 years. Now, there are
exceptions. Newt Gingrich and his gang in 1994, two or three members of
Congress here, four or five members of Congress there.
But in terms of a committed movement, conservatism has largely
been a media enterprise, which is fine and dandy for what it is. But we’re not
actually on the field of play. People that get elected, people that work in
government, people that work at these bureaucracies that have
regulation-writing ability with no oversight? I mean, that’s where all this
stuff is happening. What we’re doing is trying to alert as many Americans as we
can to the truth so they’ll vote against this.
But think of the left just in terms of sports analysts.
Think of the left here as the New England Patriots and they’re
playing nobody. There’s nobody stopping ’em. The New England Patriots are on
the field all the time, and nobody’s stopping them. There may be some bodies
out there, but it’s basically the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are on the
sideline trying to fire up the crowd, but the crowd can’t play. The crowd’s in
the stands. There’s nothing to stop the New England Patriots. Or put any team
out there you want. I picked the Patriots ’cause they’re just on a roll and
never lose.
And then even some of our cheerleaders defect and start cheering
for the Patriots! Because they don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be
embarrassed for people to realize that they’re on our side. I ran across
something that reinforced this today.
There is a piece at Breitbart, and it’s by a guy named John
Hayward. I remembered the name because John Hayward once wrote a piece in which
he discovered that liberalism had found me guilty of the crime of effective
conservatism. Now, this article is headlined: “Hayward: Trump Fights the
Covington Culture War After Passive Conservatives Surrender.”
In this article he’s describing passive conservatives and their
surrender in the battle against those who are undermining American principles,
values, and culture. The passive conservatives in Hayward’s view are the Never
Trumpers, the country club Republicans, the cruise ship Republicans, the
Republicans who bravely advocated, “Stop talking about the social issues —
you’re killing us — and focus on fiscal conservatism! That’s how we win.”
His piece here is literally a tribute to Donald Trump for his
fights on these cultural issues, because he’s it on the field. Yeah, he’s got a
lot of support here and elsewhere — and, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m not
putting what I do down. I’m not saying it’s ineffective. That’s not the point.
I’m just saying that the apparatus we’ve all thought that we’re cheering is on
the bench! Here’s the lede of his piece here: “Trump will be criticized for
wading into the issue” the Covington kids “and ‘making it worse,’ but this is
one of the reasons he won the 2016 election.
“He gets involved in culture battles when bloodless [Republican]
protocol is to step back and let the Left have another easy win, or even help
them. Passive conservatism was so thoroughly terrorized away from social issues
over the past generation that it became reluctant to engage even when liberals
are clearly the aggressors and their attacks are utterly dishonest!” It just
made me remember all of those times.
Hell, I went into Pittsburgh for a Sunday Night Football game,
the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. We’re going out to dinner on Saturday
night, and there’s some of the crew. We just lost an election the previous
week, and the crew is giving me grief! “The reason we lost was we can’t stop
talking about these social issues. You gotta stop it! You’ve gotta tell ’em
that they’ve gotta stop it!” I just tried to tell ’em, “If we don’t push back
on this, then we’re never gonna push back on anything.”
I kept hearing, “Look, there are people out there… Most people
are social liberal and fiscal conservatives. They’re moderates, and that’s who
we have to go get.” I remember being frustrated by it, and then I’d go play
golf and I’d hear it from different people. But it was always the same thing.
And these are the passive people Mr. Hayward is talking about here who have
literally been terrorized and frightened out of opposing any of this stuff.
“The debate on the passive Right was never about pushing back or
fighting, especially not by top-tier Republican officials looking to preserve
their ‘electability.’ The only serious topic of discussion was how much ground
to yield, how many of the Left’s premises to agree with. The idea was that
yielding all cultural battles to the Left would allow Republicans to focus on
‘fiscal conservatism’ and win over moderate voters who only care about
pocketbook issues. Curiously, the Left never saw it that way, not for an instant.
“As we would learn, ceding cultural battles to the Left without
a fight, or actively helping them to score a little Strange New Respect and
maybe some roundtable seats, made the ‘pocketbook issues’ largely irrelevant.
The Left frames everything in moral terms now,” except they get to define
moral. Abortion is moral. Getting rid of white privilege and standing up to a
bunch of teenagers and beating a drum in their faces and calling them racist
pigs? That’s the new morality. The left gets to define it because we walked off
the field when morality was being debated.
RUSH: We’re gonna
start in Somerset, New York. This is Kathy. Welcome. Great to have you on the
EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: We love you,
Rush, and I am so embarrassed about Governor “Devil Incarnate” Cuomo and the
legislature of New York. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck You Schumer, I’m sure,
were behind this also. Killing babies. It is a dark day when you kill a baby,
and I’m just so upset. I’ve been thinking of leaving for Tennessee.
RUSH: Let me ask you a — CALLER: I’m out.
RUSH: Wait. Kathy, let me ask you a serious question. Killing
babies, is that…? I know that’s gonna be the result here. Do you really think
that is their intent here? Don’t interpret a tone in my voice. Do you think
that is their intent, to kill babies?
CALLER: It’s obvious! (laughs) Yes. They’re serial killers, and
they’re making it legal. I mean, everybody knows that a premature baby can be
five, six months and survive.
RUSH: Why do you think they want to do that?
CALLER: I think they want to control the population and bring in
Third World countries and keep the white babies and black babies. I think
they’re going for a whole New World Order. We know that.
RUSH: So they want to eliminate as many, quote-unquote, “native
born children” as they can and replace them —
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: — with the flow of people we see from poverty-stricken
places all over the world?
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: Okay.
CALLER: I mean, already we’ve got a sanctuary state of New York
right between Buffalo and Rochester.
RUSH: I know. No. I just… I’m not disagreeing. I just wanted to
make sure I understood where you’re coming from. I appreciate the call.
RUSH: I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a
story from the Catholic Herald, and the headline of the piece: “New York Lights the World
Trade Center Pink to Celebrate Legalizing Abortion up to Birth.” Pink, of course, is the
color of little girls. Now, why does this building exist? Can somebody tell me
why the World Trade Center or whatever they now call it…? One World Trade
Center. Why does this building exist? Hmm? (interruption) Well, it was built in
remembrance of nearly 3,000 people that were murdered in New York City on 9/11!
That’s why it was built, because the previous two were attacked
and destroyed by anti-American jihadis who hijacked our own airplanes and our
own air traffic control system (when the government wasn’t shut down) and flew
the planes in there, including into the Pentagon. So we got into gear and a
decade later, a new building went up to commemorate and remember the 4,000
people who died. How is it now being used? To celebrate the ongoing abortion of
tens of thousands of Americans, babies.
“New York City’s One World Trade Center’s spire was lit pink to
celebrate the passing of a law that legalizes abortion for any reason up to
birth. The law also allows nondoctors to perform abortions and repeals a
legislation recognizing unborn babies over 24 weeks as potential homicide
victims. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Catholic, signed the bill … before
ordering that the spire of One World Trade Center, as well as bridges and
buildings in the state capital of Albany be lit pink in celebration.
“‘In the face of a federal government intent on rolling back Roe
v. Wade and women’s reproductive rights, I promised that we would enact this
critical legislation within the first 30 days of the new session — and we got
it done,’ Cuomo said.” So they’re celebrating. They’re celebrating. Anybody can
do abortions now up to the due date. If the child survives, you can still
finish the abortion — and they’re celebrating this with standing ovations.
RUSH: Back to the phones. Mayville, Michigan. This is Ray. Great
to have you on the program. Hi.
CALLER: (garbled cell) Hello, Rush. With this discussion of
abortion, you’ve got my blood pressure off the Richter scale. You know, you
talk about the liberals and their immorality of building a wall, and yet we can
kill babies all day long, and no big deal.
RUSH: No. It really isn’t. That’s the thing. It isn’t a big
deal. You’re right.
CALLER: It’s absolutely maddening, utter hypocrisy. I’ll tell
you, if we discovered bacteria on Mars tomorrow, the liberals would say, “We
just discovered life on Mars,” but yet a fetus is not a life? It’s a precious
life.
RUSH: It’s actually a good point, because the left did go nuts
the other day when they found out the Chinese have grown seeds on the dark side
of the moon. That means we can move there ’cause earth, you know, is ending.
Earth is so bad! Climate change is gonna destroy everything. We can go to the
moon now ’cause thee grew some kind of seeds. They’re celebrating seed life.
CALLER: Yeah. You know, there’s no common sense. It’s not
pro-life, pro-choice. It’s pro-life, pro-death. Pro-murder.
RUSH: Let me ask you a
question. Let me ask you a quick question, Ray. Seriously now. And please,
don’t infer that I’m trying to answer for you or want a specific answer. Don’t
infer anything you might hear in my tone of voice. This is purely a question
designed to genuinely get your answer here, what you think. Why do you think
the left is so apparently motivated and hell-bent on doing this? Why are they
celebrating what constitutes killing hundreds of thousands of babies? What in
the world is making them feel celebratory about this? Do you have an answer to
that?
CALLER: No. I don’t
know what the agenda of man is. I can’t answer that, you know, probably in the
way that you want it answered.
RUSH: No, no! That’s
my point. I’m not looking… I think I can answer it, but I’m not looking for you
to agree with me. To me, it’s the fundamental question: Who in the world could
want this? Who in the world could advocate for it. Who in the world could start
poisoning young kids’ minds that cues they’re the ones that have to grow up and
have the abortions in the first place. What do you have to do to erase the God
and the conscience from young people that you get hold of starting at
kindergarten? Who would want this and why? What is the possible benefit to
this? Particularly —
CALLER: I think it’s
what you talked about earlier. They want to erase God right out of their lives,
right out of society. They don’t want to answer to a God. They’re void of any
kind of wisdom. It just doesn’t make sense at all, and the Bible says, “The
fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” (garbled)
RUSH: Well, now,
you’re getting close.
CALLER: Well, take God
out of the picture, take God off his rightful throne and leave man to his ways,
and we’re gonna end up right where we’re at.
RUSH: So you would
say… If I may paraphrase, you would say that part of this is an open-faced
defiance of God?
CALLER: I believe it,
Rush. And I’ll tell you, another one of my pet peeves is our leaders, they’ll
get up, they’ll give their speeches, and it always ends with, “God bless
America.” You know, it doesn’t work that way. If you’re not gonna give God his
rightful in place… You know, America is an exceptional country. We were founded
like no other country. “One nation under God.”
RUSH: They don’t care
about any of that. They have no appreciation for that. They have no
understanding of it, no appreciation. They’ve got no ties to it, in their
minds. You’re talking about stuff that codified slavery and racism and bigotry
and homophobia, anti-transgenderism, anti-binary kids, anti-cisgender
contrarianism. They’ve got no ties to the founding. There’s nothing romantic
about it. There’s nothing historically wonderful about it.
To them, it was a
period of pure evil that they’re finally getting their hands on and rolling
back. But that’s another answer. My answer… I have my answer to your question.
I just want to hear what other people think ’cause this is… I could ask the
question a number of ways. Why are they so celebratory over now the freedom to
kill? Why is the freedom to kill such an important political objective? Why do
they want to do this? What is the benefit they derive from this?
I’m sure everybody’s
got a legitimate answer to it. I have mine. I’m just curious what other people
think, ’cause I think that’s how you have to look at this. I mean, what is it
really? What is it that’s happening here? And they’re doing standing ovations
after they passed the law, so..? Why? What in the world has been achieved here,
in their minds? What is the reason for the happiness and the celebration?
‘Cause you and I can’t relate to it. But clearly it’s making them deliriously
happy. There is an answer.
