Stop

Rush had a great monologue the other day in which he talked about the DiPippo article and used it as a jumping off point to talk about how the Angry Left and the Anti-American Democrat party are taking our freedom away inch by inch, year by year. He asked the question of how long it is going to take before the American people wake up and notice what is going on? When will the American people begin to understand how the state is encroaching on their lives a bit more every day? When will they realize that it is not just a small inconvenience here or there, and if it is not stopped it will mean the end of their freedom and the end of this country as it has been? How long until the American people understand that the Angry Left and the Democrats want to destroy this country and make it into something like the socialist European Union?

I don't know the answer to this one either and I don't think anyone does, but those of us on the right side of the fight have to do everything we can to make sure it does not happen. The Angry Left wants to keep Americans in the dark until it's too late. We need to be the ones to alert the American people to the facts, so that they will be able to see for themselves what is occurring. We need to illustrate the story in a clear and straightfoward way; to sound the alarm so that Americans will notice what is going on. Because when Americans have all of the facts, they tend to do the right thing. And they still value their freedom. But they need to know just how serious is the assault on that freedom and where it is coming from in order to be able to stop it.

Ronald Reagan is one of our heroes. Not a cult figure hero, a substantive hero. Where are the heroes today? Well, how many hundreds of thousands of them are in Iraq, and what the hell is said about them by the leftists and by the Democratic Party, by John Murtha, by Dick Durbin, by John Kerry? You name it! They are murderers! They are rapists! They are thugs! You think this stuff doesn't resonate all over the country? And look at the leftists on college campuses, high school campuses and wherever else you find idle time. They hate the US military! They have been taught and brainwashed to hate the US Military, which is protecting their silly right to say these stupid things. They have an official home: the Democrat Party. They have an official house organ: the New York Times, and the rest of the Drive-By Media. And these are the people who are trying to tell you to stop doing bonfires, to have your car only idle for three minutes at a time.

They're telling you to stop having kids because it's going to pollute the planet even more! They're blaming you for your attempt at a better standard of living and prosperity, for destroying the climate. These are negative, unhappy, miserable people trying to spread as much of all three of those qualities to as many people as possible. They do despise this country. They do purposely seek to cut it down to size. They do purposely and, by design, seek to take away -- little by little so you won't notice or care -- your freedom. They seek to place that which they have taken from you in Big Government where controls over even more of your freedom will be instituted because in all of this huge giant equation, the only place that is benevolent -- the only institution worthy of our respect, in fact our prayers, and getting down on our hands and knees, and saying, "Thank God!" -- is for government. Government wants to give us healthcare. Do you realize...?

We need a goal today like they had a goal in the '60s. We need a goal. Energy and independence, our own oil. Drill it! Drill it here and drill it now! Who's going to stand in the way? The very people who don't want our independence. The very people who want us to be dependent on other sources of oil. They say it's because they're afraid of pollution. How many oil wells are in the Gulf of Mexico, near the Gulf Coast? How many were damaged or ruined during Hurricane Katrina? How many oil spills were there? Hundreds were damaged or ruined and there were no oil spills! It's a phony argument to say that oil wells offshore will end up polluting and destroying the country and the environment and the planet. These are people who, while taking away your freedom and liberty -- at the same time, by definition because you and I are the ones who make the country work, our ambition, our industriousness and productivity. Take away our freedom to do that and guess what happens? The country's productivity shrinks. That, they want.
