"Republicans..relying on the voters to get mad and throw the Democrats
out...is not enough. They've got to be stopped."...
11/20/14, "Don't Live in a Time Warp! The Democrat Agenda Marches On Regardless of Election Results," Rush Limbaugh
"RUSH: Snerdley is saying, "You're not the least bit energized looking at the political consequences fall over this?"
That's a good question, and I submit that if you are energized by the
political possibilities that ensue from this, that you need to get your
head out of the twentieth century and you need to stop looking at
things in the conventional way....There's a great column today in the
Wall Street Journal, and it's by one of our old favorite standbys, Daniel Henninger.
In its own self-contained universe, it's a great column, but it misses a huge point....
In essence,
Henninger chronicles all of the trouble Democrat Party is in, how the
mainstream Democrats and independents are abandoning them because the
technocrats (meaning the elites, the self-proclaimed smartest in the
room) are in charge of the Democrat Party and they are ruining the
Democrat Party....
It is
a brilliant piece. But it is 20 or 30 years behind the times. Folks,
the idea that this is going to hurt the Democrats? It may, but that's
the wrong way to look at this. "Oh, man, there's gonna really be some
blowback!...They're
destroying the Democrat Party."...
There's a whole wing of the Democrat Party
that doesn't care about winning or losing elections as the primary way
they corrupt the country. They don't need to win elections to corrupt
the country. Losing elections is not that big a deal to them. And that
wing is running the Democrat Party right now, and they don't care about
any of that. They got whipped in the eighties, didn't they? "Yeah,
man, that Democrat Party, Reagan?..."They lost in 2004, and they lost in 2010. Oh, man did
they get shellacked in 2010. And they just lost in 2014." Really? And
the Democrat Party is falling apart?...
Where are they in big trouble? They're not
in any trouble. They're getting away with it, folks, is the bottom
line....If you look at this the way Mr. Henninger is
and the way Mr. Snerdley's question indicates he might be, you think
there's gonna be fallout from this There's gonna be blowback. Well,
there used to be. Elections used to change the direction the country was
taking.
But they don't anymore, and that's the big difference....
Very simply put, the Democrat Party screwing up, the Democrat
Party losing support, does not mean the Democrat Party fails to advance
its agenda. So here's Daniel Henninger's piece...."Obama: The Hangover." It's a great piece
in its own self-contained silo. But I think it's in a time capsule,
and it's written from a political view that has long since ceased to
exist....
"The problem is that the technocracy itself --"...The technocracy, the elites, the guys running the
show, self-appointed. "The problem is that the technocracy itself has
become a political problem for the Democratic Party."
No, it hasn't. But let me continue.
[Henninger article]: "For some 80 years, that technocracy has been the life force of the
Democratic Party. Now it’s a kind of noxious green sludge consuming the
party. Calling itself 'the administrative state,' a technocratic army
of social scientists, lawyers and bureaucrats has kept the Democratic
Party supplied for decades with the policy details behind its promises
to the electorate. ObamaCare was going to be one more victory march into
the end zone of federal entitlements with a playbook designed by Jon
Gruber and the other grandchildren of the original administrative
elites."
It goes on to detail how all of these things are falling apart, how
they're all disasters, and how this is gonna have dire consequences for
the Democrat Party. With all due respect, what I find missing in pieces
like this is, despite cataloging the disaster that is befalling the
Democrat Party, they are achieving lasting damage on this country which, to me, makes the trouble they get into, an election here or an
election there, somewhat irrelevant. This is a way of looking at
politics that's stuck back somewhere in the twentieth century when voter
reaction to events actually changed the direction of the country. Voter reaction is a term for elections.
Now, you might disagree with me, but my perception is that elections
are not changing the direction of the country much. Not Democrats
losing elections. Let me address just that specifically. Democrats
losing elections is not changing the country. They may lose an election
here or there, and they may get in trouble here and there, but their
agenda is marching on. The Democrats are losing support, eh? Yeah,
right. They lost support in the eighties big time. I mean, they lost
two landslides and then they lost in '88. And they lost support in
2000. And they lost support in 2002...and they lost again in 2004.
And they lost again in 2010, and they were in a mess after each one
of these losses. Remember?..."Man, the Democrat Party is
falling apart....The Democrat Party is
in such dire straits, the old lions, the old liberal war horses are
killing the party."...I've read this piece
for 30 years. And every morning when I get up, the Democrat agenda is a
little further down the road. So the Democrat Party's losing support,
eh? Well, show me how that's manifesting itself.
Now, folks, do not go fatalistic on me. I'm not saying this to be
fatalistic, or even pessimistic. What I'm saying is everybody's gotta
change their perspective on what's happening here. It's why I opened
the program with, "I can't believe what we're about to see here." We're
actually gonna watch a crime take place, and we're eagerly counting
down the time and we're gonna watch, we're all gonna watch as the
Constitution, BB gun aimed, holes are gonna be fired right through it,
and that's it. And then we're gonna talk about, "Yeah, this is really
bad for the Democrats. I can't believe Obama. Do you realize how ticked
off people are gonna be?"
Doesn't matter. The Constitution is still gonna have holes in it
tomorrow, because nobody is stopping them. It used to be that elections
stopped out-of-control parties and out-of-control politicians. They
got the message. The Democrat Party doesn't care. Obama on down, they
don't care what the electorate thinks, what the electorate does, as
evidenced by what is going to happen tonight....And,
until such time as somebody decides a way to stop them, this is gonna
keep on happening....
You can't overreach
any more than Barack Obama has, but it doesn't apply anymore. Democrats overreach, and when the Republicans rely on that...relying on the voters to get mad and throw the Democrats
out.
That's not enough. They've got to be stopped.
They are in
Hollywood. They're on every television show. They're in every song
that's written, practically. But if there's not a coordinated effort to
stop the advance of liberalism, it's gonna keep marching forward. Writing of the temporary disarray that the Democrat Party is in as
though that's some kind of victory...
We played an
audio sound bite of Mitch McConnell after Obama had announced some
outrageous plan of his, and McConnell's statement was, "Well, I guess
the president is not going to move to the center as we thought he
would." That's what used to happen 30 years ago. The losing party would
move in the direction that they lost.
But that doesn't happen anymore. It isn't necessary. And the
Democrat Party has been governing against the will of the people for I
don't know how long anyway. They want to win elections, obviously. That solidifies their power. But losing elections doesn't stop them.
Being in party disarray doesn't stop them. Barack Obama tonight is
gonna go out there and tell everybody he's addressing a problem, and
he's not addressing a problem; he's magnifying one, on purpose.
Not only is he going to put millions of illegal aliens on a path to
amnesty; he's inviting millions more to come to the border and cross it
because eventually it'll happen again. There will be more amnesty."
