RUSH: It is said that this program needs "balance" from time to time, and I've always reacted by saying, "No, it doesn't. You don't need to balance this program. This program is equal time." Balance this program against all of that that's out there from the New York Times to Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, LA Times, Chicago Trib, whatever. Program needs to be balanced? But in the interests, nevertheless, and since Bernie Sanders is upset about all the right-wing on talk radio that the left just can't get a foothold, let me help. I will announce your agenda for you.  I have it here. It's been published in the Boston Globe, but outside of Boston who will know and who will read it? I have the largest radio audience in America, and as such, I can help. So, my friends, here -- and I will, as an added benefit, I will even add commentary, as I announce the New Direction for America platform that the Democrats had to put off again, (Damn it!) out of respect for the president and the troops. Number one: Negotiate lower prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies for Medicare's drug program. In other words: "We're going to hammer business, and we're going to make big drug pay for going along with Bush in this new entitlement." Negotiate lower prescription drug prices? The Democrats are going to go in there and threaten these people with all kinds of punishment, fines, regulations and so forth, unless they do what the Democrats want. "Fund stem cell research and increase access to health care." Well, that's really new. When has that not been part of the Democrats' New Direction for America? By the way, the translation of that: We're going to send some money. "Increase science research, ensure the teaching of evolution, increase funding for community colleges." Spend, spend, spend. "Cut student loan interest rates by half, ensure access to family planning methods and abortion, fund infant and child care," and make sure there is abortion. "Increase the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour. Increase employment benefits." They're going to hammer business again, going to go tell business how to run the business, going to tell business if they don't, we're going to punish you even more with higher taxes. "Enact funding recommendations of the 9/11 Commission," i.e., make Richard Clarke our hero, meaning spend, spend, spend. |

| "Institute lobbying reform; implement balanced budgets and pay down the national debt while doing all this other spending," which means raise your taxes. Get this next one: "Enact tax changes to benefit entrepreneurs." There is one tax "change" that benefits entrepreneurs, and that's cuts, and you don't hear the word come out of the mouth of a Democrat, nor do you see it on their official New Direction for America platform document. What is this, "enact tax changes to benefit entrepreneurs"? The next one: "Focus national security strategy to nation's borders, increase port security." What does this mean, "focusing national security strategy"? I thought they'd been talking to communications experts out there. This is gibberish; this is gobbledegook -- on purpose, by the way. They're not specifying anything. They're trying to come up with things to make you think they have big and grand ideas. "Fund more public transportation, promote environmental restoration." Spend, spend, spend. "Repeal subsidies for oil and gas companies to encourage renewable fuels." That's it. There's nothing here about the war on terror.  There's really nothing here about immigration. There's nothing here on a whole host of issues that really matter. They're living in the past. They're trying to relive their glory days, coupled with arrogance and condescension. You know what the Democrats are like? I get all this flowery language, and I try to get all detailed and in depth explaining them psychologically, but it's real simple and those of you who are parents will understand this. They are just spoiled, rotten children. It's just no more than spoiled, rotten children. They have had power for so long and they've had it taken away from them and they're demanding it back. It's just like when summer vacation is over and you tell the little crumb cruncher go back to school. Most crumb crunchers don't want to go back to school. Abnormal ones want to go to school. (Any kid that likes school I'm telling you is abnormal.) Most kids, the last thing they want to see is the schoolhouse door, especially in August or September, whatever, school (crying). You gotta make 'em do it. Well, the Democrats, nobody's made them do what they need to do. They're just demanding all this power, demanding it because it's theirs. They're just nothing more than a bunch of spoiled, rotten children in the bodies of adults coupled with arrogant condescension. |
