BREAK TRANSCRIPT
You know, folks, I'm sitting here, I'm thinking of a new approach on Social Security. I'm thinking of joining the left. I'm thinking of just agreeing with our friends on the left and doing nothing. Let's just don't do anything, and let's let the program blow up, implode, and go defunct, and then we're rid of it! Yeah, let's just get rid of Social Security. Let's just not do anything and get rid of the program. (Laughter). Now, don't panic in there, Mr. Snerdley. I'm just making a point. Agree with the left, don't do anything, and let the program go under. We got too many government programs as it is. Don't you agree with that? All right. All right. Nothing else needs to be said.
It's called sarcasm.
No, it's sarcasm.
Your title is very misleading.
How so?
my head hurts!
i heard rush do that segment, and it was excellent, as always.
as he said, some people had already called up accusing him of saying stuff he didn't say.
and so here, too.
I do believe El Rushbo was indulging in a little sarcasm
Got'cha to read it, din'nit....
Straight from the transcript on El Rushbo's own website -
"I'm thinking of joining the left."
And that shows again that the Right is more humane than the Left. Privatizing social security is nothing else but a sincere effort to SAVE the system. It has always been said that us in the Right have the brains, and our friends in the Left have the hearts. On this one we have the exclusivity on BRAINS and HEARTS.
Social Security is a great program that's what all the congresscritters depend on for their retir........doh !
Straight from the transcript on El Rushbo's own website -
"I'm thinking of joining the left."
Did you listen to the show, or just read the transcript?
He said he was thinking of joining the left, so Social Security would be destroyed once and for all.
So he DID say it! (I thought I was just hearing things...)
Brains say "abolish it".
As a chapter of his first book (The Way Things Ought To Be) was titled, Rush was just "Demonstrating Absurdity by Being Absurd."
Abolition is a rather harsh term. I would settle for gradual PRIVATIZATION. The goal should be, nevertheless, a COMPLETE privatization. In other words, private retirement funds instead of state-sponsored social security.
No - it's called sarcasm. Good grief.
Once again: It's called sarcasm.
Do you not know what a Ponzi scheme is? It is basically a pyramid scheme invented by a con man about 100 years ago.
BUMP!
