RUSH: Here is Patrick in Brecksville, Ohio. Great to have you, sir.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you? Mega dittos, 1991 dittos. You know, with the Bush funeral, I’ve had a real hard time, you know, kind of feeling my normal grief or normal respect for him. I respect him. I think he was a fantastic man. But given how cynical I’ve become on so many things and sort of his lack of fighting back and what the Republicans have done over the last 40 years, I find it really hard now to have as much, you know, respect or grief. It’s certainly like, you know, I didn’t feel like the way I did when Reagan passed.
It kind of troubles me, but I think it ties into where we’re at today. I think it ties into Trump. You know, and I almost hold — I don’t identify as a Republican anymore, but I almost hold them more responsible than the liberals. Liberals are what they are. We know we’re not gonna get anything from them. When I call my congressman on the right, you know, Republicans, and you get basically the same treatment from the liberals, there’s no fighting back, you know, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, I mean —
RUSH: Well, see, wait. Let me stop you because this is exactly what’s being praised. And this is what’s phony about it. They’re praising the Bushes both for not fighting back, basically allow the left to steamroll. Bush changed his —
RUSH: — take on taxes. That’s what they’re praising as bipartisanship. That’s what they’re praising as an era gone by, when we could work with Republicans, when Republicans agreed to lose, when Republicans agreed to let us win. That isn’t Trump. And I’ll go so far, I think what you’re trying to say — and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think what you’re trying to say is that, in truth, the reluctance of not just the Bushes — there’s a lot of Republican elected people that didn’t want to fight back ’cause they’re scared to death of the media. Didn’t to want fight back against Obama because they’re scared of being charged racist. And that lack, that reluctance is what gave us Trump.
CALLER: Precisely.
RUSH: There you go.
CALLER: 110 percent. That’s the full draw-out of that for me. And that’s what they still don’t get about why we support Trump. I don’t always agree with everything he does, again, we can go into that nonsense, but again, when I talk to people, I take him and his fight and his support of us and trying to do what’s right and taking it to the other side and trying to accomplish these things over the lay down and die and let them run over us.
So, you know, I’ll take the good with the bad, right? And to me, the past 40 years, what have Republicans solved? George Bush was a good, decent man, yes. But what did he really get done? What did we really benefit from it? And so at some point I get kind of tired of supporting that when I really don’t ever get any payoff for it.
RUSH: This is precisely why I have been trying to stress that what we have been seeing today is not the way our politics used to be. It’s the way the left wants it to be, but it’s never been this way. The Bush family, the Bush values, the traditions, virtues, whatever you want to call them that defined them and governed their philosophies of life is what we’re seeing.
And my point is that that that we’re seeing used to define the whole country or the vast, vast majority of it. And it’s important to know that’s what’s been lost, the virtues, the values, the manners, what have you, that people are watching in this funeral are what used to be the norm. And we’ve lost them. And not because of Donald Trump. We have lost them because there was a war raged against them, waged against them beginning in the late eighties or the early nineties.
I could even peg it, if you wanted to put militant feminism in this mix, which you can, it’s clearly one of the many ingredients of the culture war, you have to go back to the late sixties for that. The attack on America, as founded, has been ongoing since then. But the real intense version has been within many of our lifetimes. And here’s the thing that people in Washington, a political skirmish over the budget. It’s not a political skirmish over how many more years we’re gonna have Social Security.
People who voted for Donald Trump genuinely believed their country as founded was at stake. When those are the stakes, it doesn’t matter that your guy defending you may have manners on Twitter that are not recommendable. It doesn’t matter. What matters is saving the country from the marauders on the left who want to basically erase every vestige of our founding and turn this country over to people for whom it was never intended. And in that kind of a battle with that on the line — but Washington doesn’t see that crisis. Republicans, Democrats, there isn’t any kind of crisis. It’s the average political arguments of the day. They come and go. That’s the great divide.both parties, refuse to understand. This isn’t
I don’t think many people see Obama as a bad president because he was black. He was a bad president because he was a cultural Marxist, anti-American neo-communist Islamist sympathizer. He could have been a full blooded Cherokee, a Chinaman or a red-headed Irishman but given all of those flaws, he was bound to be a bad president. Being black just made it worse because he was able to work in race baiting as yet another way to be America’s worst ever president, I don’t even rate Carter that bad. Maybe Millard Fillmore was a stinker, we have no way to compare apples and oranges.
the quote should end at “They come and go. That’s the great divide.”
The media hates anyone who voted for Trump.
I voted for Trump to save and return the country to what I knew during the Reagan Administration.
I think you are on to something there. I think a lot of black Americans are secretly embarrassed that the first black POTUS did such a lousy job.
I wish all of them, our friends and foes, would keep up the kumbaya moment until next week. Then release EVERYTHINNG about GHWB, including his activities that led him from the HOR to director of the CIA.
We elected Trump to undo the Bush Plan for North Mexico that they have been implementing for 30 years against the will of the citizens.
“Then release EVERYTHING....” All those things you refer to have been plain as day for a long time, have always been there for everyone to see, Dems and Pubbies alike, not to mention the American electorate.GHWB’s ascent through the corridors of power, which delineate a virtually perfect trajectory of the power and influence of How To Implement Globalism, speak of an already completely KNOWN quantity, which interestingly parallel in reverse the clandestine identity of Obama, who represented just a new version of the Trojan Horse.Then, two years ago, enter Donald Trump, who, for better or worse, the entire country has been, if anything, OVERFAMILIAR with, and he’s portrayed as a Fascist Dictator in Waiting, who suddenly appeared “out of nowhere” to take his place as Commander in Chief. And THAT after EIGHT YEARS of being ruled by the International Man of Mystery, the ultimate trickster, Barack Obama> More than a little ironic don’t you think, that Trump is being made to pay for all the faults and sins of all recent Presidents?
Uh, no, we did not, Rush, and I shut you off today and yesterday, because frankly I am sick of Bush.
No one had f*ck all to say about him before he died, and now he was the greatest guy ever.
Nauseating.

George Bush Reagans biggest mistake..
Bush purposely stopped the Reagan revolution. Bush's political philosophy was wishy washy warm and fuzzy nonsense. The GOP is doing its best to stop MAGA and are succeeding.
ahhh….we all see it. We even vote accordingly. And it doesn’t make one damn bit of difference. Sometimes I wonder if we’ve had a decent, pro-American President between Eisenhower and Trump.
.
Two of them, Kennedy, and Reagan, and both took bullets!
I’m with the caller. The Bushes have been part of the problem. So it’s really hard for me to stomach any respect for them.
The great divide in a nutshell:
For too many years, the gop and the gentle conservatives, have laid down and let the dims/left/libs have it their way. They came to consider it the right way to do congress. No problem as long as those like pelosi ran the show. The media saw it that way also.
The people out here didn’t see it that way... and voted! So we now have a fighter as President and the left are yelling “fire”.. no way to get along.. you on the extreme right are dividing the nation.. we have had rule and you can’t come in and try to actuallly govern.
You all know the rest of the story... you all know what fair and equal means.. it’s for sure the left doesn’t.
And no, it's not all about a quest for power; consider that many/most of the engineers & proponents of globalism come from from old line established wealth. So, in a weird way, globalism is really a manifestation of noblesse oblige, where the elite are essentially obliged to help direct & manage the ignorant masses. Which gets us back to motivation, and the predominance of bored ennui vs rabid hunger. (Note: a distinction is made here between Rockefellers and grifters like the Clintons.)
However, with the advent of nuclear weapons, an existential threat is posed to humanity as mankind begins to feel the tightening effects of constrained supply. And who is the most likely culprit for upping the game in order to win the spoils? Well, let me ask you this question: which race has dominated, dictated and determined history for the last 2,500 years? So, we have perhaps the most coldly violent (as opposed to mercurial poor impulse control) with a lot of built in expectations about what they want and how they plan on maintaining it.
The solution, as far as the globalists are concerned, is to render Western man neutered, so they he may not influence the coming territorial battles and resource wars, nor carry their collective baggage of expectations about standards of living. Voila, replace whites with other races, who have no institutional memory whatsoever of any kind of wealth, political participation, knowledge or even base IQ that would allow them to discern exactly what's going down.
In this fashion, a cloistered elite can govern the world characterized by radically reduced circumstances. With limited resources, scientific discovery and technical advances can still be maintained by reserving the lion's share of resources towards favored projects. The new composed mass of humanity can literally return to subsistence farming for all they care.
This is what's driving globalism, or as Bush I said "a new world order". Not a desire for fanciful, Hollywood type mad power, but a very real understanding of the challenges that lie ahead.
