Rush on 08/15/05

Rush went OFF on the loony moonbat liberals yesterday. He said earlier that he has put this rant up on the free side of his site for every one to read. I will only highlight excerpts here, you can read the whole thing at www.rushlimbaugh.com

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: John in San Diego, you’re next. Welcome to the program. Nice to have you with us.

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: I believe that Cindy Sheehan is bringing up one important point, though.

RUSH: What’s that?

CALLER: If this is a valiant and noble cause, why don’t we have [sic] any senators sons or House of Representatives sons volunteering to go over there? Why isn’t the president’s daughters doing something for the war effort, if this is such a valiant effort? And that’s the primary purpose that she has made this protest for, is the fact that the average person is being used as cannon fodder basically for this effort, and it’s not a noble cause.

RUSH: John, you disappoint me, but you don’t surprise me. No war is noble as far as you all are concerned. The US is guilty. This argument is tiresome, boring, and specious. Why didn’t the president’s daughters go? It’s a volunteer force! The president didn’t “send” Cindy Sheehan’s son over there; he volunteered. If she is doing anything, she is sullying his memory. She is making his life worthless. She is making what he volunteered to do worthless, and you guys, you don’t see this. There are sons, there are family members of elected officials in Washington who have been and are in Iraq. It’s not a great number, but they are there. But it’s not a draft, and the president can’t choose who goes. It’s a volunteer army and everything that you said is doing a disservice to those who have volunteered to represent this country and serve this country and their families, and if I were you, I would be ashamed and try to grow up and get a little maturity.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: My friends, there’s another reason why the Sheehan thing is going to derail, why this train is going to derail, and that’s because look at who her public relations outfit is. It’s the mainstream press. They don’t have universal respect anymore. They don’t even have any concept of how they are harming her cause by championing it, but I want to talk about something larger here with you liberals. I know there are a lot of you here in the audience. We hear from you now and then, and it may be a waste of my time but I’m going to try it anyway. But I think you all need to look at things differently than you do. You need to take your focus off of government. You know how absurd it is for us to hear that a war is ignoble because the president’s kids aren’t there or because congressmen’s kids aren’t there? Do you know how irrelevant that is? Do you know who makes this country work? Can I ask you people on the left if you have the slightest idea who makes this country work? Because I’ll tell you, it’s not the president, I don’t care who he is, and it’s not Congress, and I don’t care who they are. The people who make this country work are the people, and they’re people you’ve never heard of. They are people unlike Cindy Sheehan, who are not seeking publicity, they are not seeking fame. They take life seriously. They try to mix their work and pleasure into a proper balance. They try to raise their kids the right way. They’re doing everything they can to follow the straight-and-narrow. They sometimes slip off, but the people who make this country work, the fabled average American. That’s who you liberals condemn, whether you know it or not. That’s who you impugn. It’s always been the case.

Read the rest for yourself at Rush’s site. It’s uplifting and so true. Moonbats — wear your hats, you will need protection from the truth — because YOU CAN NOT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!

Thank you Rush — thank you!
