RUSH: There are rolling themes on this program. There are umbrella items under which fall a number of, oh, stories and sub-ideas, sub-topics, if you will. One of the themes of this program for its duration since we started, and actually predating this program going back to when I was in Sacramento, has been that the American left and the Democrat Party are engaged in an escalating -- and it has been escalating year after year after year -- attack on the institutions and traditions that have defined and made American greatness. Not just political institutions, but social institutions and traditions and cultural institutions and traditions.
And it's not stopped. And every so often there is a new line of attack. Some of the items that are attacked and assaulted are huge, like marriage. Marriage is an institution and tradition that has been in the crosshairs of the American left for as long as they have had a hatred of religion. They have made repeated, consistent efforts to undermine the tradition of marriage, and they've succeeded. They're well on their way to rendering the whole point of marriage new, different, and meaningless as it relates to the primary reason it even came into existence.
There are many things like this that the left is -- religion, as a giant topic and things that come underneath this, such as gay marriage...speaking of, I got an idea. I thought of something over the weekend, because the left is not through promoting gay marriage. Now, what has happened is that the resistance to gay rights and gay marriage is practically gone, so they've had to come up with a new substitute for it in order to keep the protest meme or narrative alive. And that has resulted in now a major push for equality and fairness and justice for lesbians, gays, and transgenders and bisexual people.
Since gay marriage is a fait accompli, no matter what the Supreme Court says, it's a fait accompli, up next, transgenders. They will be the next aggrieved victimhood or group of victims that will require attention, and the majority will need to be attacked as discriminatory and mean in order to pave the way for the normalcy of the transgendered status of human beings. That's just a little aside. And, in fact, we've already seen this.
But here is an idea I've got because they're not through. I mean, they never give up. To them, nothing is ever mission accomplished, because there's always gonna be some holdouts. There's always gonna be some people that oppose normalizing gay rights and agreeing to the concept of gay marriage and redefining it. There's always gonna be holdouts. There will always be religious people that own businesses that will refuse to serve or do business with people promoting activity that violate someone's religious practices. So to date we've had gay activist groups target bakeries and photography stores and similar types of things in order to prove discrimination, to show a bias and to beat down opposition.
Well, one of the things we've learned recently, and frankly I'm pleasantly surprised by this, that so many people on the left have agreed with me. We go out of our way to not offend Muslims, and we chastise anybody who does anything along the lines of, say, drawing cartoon characters of the prophet Mohammed, right? We don't permit that. We frown on that, and we condemn anybody that does that, because, why? Well, there's no need to provoke millions and millions of Islamic people, Muslims who are not terrorists. Why do it, and anybody who engages in a cartoon rendering of the prophet Mohammed is chastised and ripped to shreds and criticized because we dare not offend our Muslim brothers and sisters.
I pointed out the other day, well, then should we maybe stop flouting and flaunting gay marriage, because gay marriage is really disapproved in Islam. Gay marriage, homosexual behavior is not tolerated, it is not permitted, and it is punished severely when it is caught, when it's spied. And yet in American media all over the place we are celebrating gay marriage, we are flaunting gay marriage, and I ask, does this not also offend Muslims?
Where do we draw the line, I asked poignantly, in what aspects of Islam we will respect and others we will ignore. When it comes to pictures of the cartoon drawings of the prophet, we will absolutely obey the demands of militant Islam and we will not only refrain from drawing cartoons, we will condemn and seek to destroy anybody who does. But MSNBC, CNN, TIME magazine, the New York Times can readily, happily promote gay marriage and gay rights all day long, and the Muslims are supposed shut up about it?
Why, on the one hand, do we respect their wishes when it comes to cartoon renderings of the prophet Mohammed and ignore their wishes and ignore what they claim upsets them and angers them when it comes to gay marriage? Therefore I have an idea. I know that many of you out there run businesses that if a gay couple, a married gay couple came in and asked for your service, you would deny it on the basis that you disapprove, your religion does not sanction the approval of gay marriage.
My idea for you is quite simple. Don't use that as the excuse anymore. Let's say that you own the ABC wedding cake bakery. The only thing you do is you bake wedding cakes. And as such, militant gay activists target your bakery. They're gonna take you out, they're gonna take you down, they're gonna walk in there, they're gonna tell you they're gonna get married, and of all the bakeries in the world, yours has been recommended to them because that's all you do, therefore you must be better than anybody else at baking wedding cakes.
Instead of telling the gay couple that you refuse to bake the cake for their wedding because you disapprove of homosexuality, you should now say you are not going to bake a cake for the gay wedding because you fear Muslim backlash. Or, due to your respect of Islam, you cannot bake a cake for a gay wedding. See how that flies. Since the left is agreeing, a bunch of people on the left have gone on TV, "I hate to say this, you know, Limbaugh's got a point. We do flaunt gay marriage at 'em, wow. Wow. That's a good point. I mean, we readily agree not to do the thing with the prophet and the pictures and the cartoons, but gay marriage, yeah, we're kind of in their face on that."
Well, just make a note. Any of you small business owners who think you're gonna get a visit from a gay couple asking you for your product or service at a gay wedding just say, "Nah, nah, nah, we refuse because of our respect of Islam. We can't." Don't say anything about your religion. Don't say anything about it's your religion that prevents you from doing it. Say it's Islam. You respect Islam or you're afraid of Muslim backlash. See how that flies. It's just an idea. Hope it works.
Brilliant. This is why Rush has been so popular for so long.
Gay “marriage” is entirely compatible with what Rush believes about marriage.
Maybe. Concept is good, anyway.
It is a nearly perfect defense.
“They” will continue the search for the uninformed.
Yeah, I had to leave the radio before the punch line,
but I saw where he was going,
and it is indeed brilliant.
I really would like to see the look on a lib’s face when they are told “people shouldn’t bake gay ‘wedding’ cakes because it’s offensive to Muslims”.
You can bring it up when either the Draw Muhammed or Gay “marriage” is talked about.
I don't think so. Though Rush has had divorces; he knows well enough that divorce is not good. Why would he divorce if he knows it's not good? Many are forced into things they know are bad to do, and would like to see those things changed. There are things that government mandates, mandates that people have to obey though they know are wrong.
I think that excuse might be useful elsewhere...
“Please step out of the vehicle sir.
“No, it might offend Muslims.”
Well, not useful everywhere perhaps...
Since gay marriage is a fait accompli, no matter what the Supreme Court says, it's a fait accompli, up next, transgenders.
................................
That line makes me want to put a tinfoil hat on and challenge what side Rush is working for. Hey Rush, who said gay marriage is a fait accompli? Only you that I know. I certainly plan on fighting it for as long as necessary. And that includes voting ONLY for candidates that take the same stand. That's why so far Cruz is the only one I will vote for.
By putting such a line in this article, one could argue that the author (Rush) is making a very subtle effort to actually further ingrain gay marriage into this country. And him and anyone else that capitulates on this issue can go to hell, both literally and figuratively.
“Gay “marriage” is entirely compatible with what Rush believes about marriage.”
Are you saying that because he has had failed marriages?
You do not have to be perfect to defend what is right.
No one is perfect.
I agree. When I listen to Rush I’m not tuning in for marriage counseling.
This is amusing, but why? It just makes us the same liars the left is by perpetuating these unconstitutional concepts.
Wish it would work, but there’s a problem: Islam condones lying to infidels, so Muslims can say they side with the gays (and against the Christians) to make us look bad, knowing full well what they will do to the gays if they get sharia law in place.
Gay marriage is not a done deal - those that do/can, get on your knees and pray with the faith of Christ. It’s only when we have FAITH that God will do what we ask - will it happen.
Huh?
I like Rush and this is clever but it makes me uncomfortable. If I am principled enough to not want to photograph a gay marriage then I’m principled enough to be honest about my reasons. My reasons would be my Christian faith, not my respect for or my fear of muslims.
Your actual reasons for refusal is between you and God.
How you defend yourself from the world is another matter.
You're buying into their worldview Rush.
mohammed is only a 'prophet' if you subscribe to their satanic religion.
For the rest of us, he's just another murderous paedophile.
Don’t agree. It’s part of my testimony to a lost and dying world. If I pay a high price for telling the truth, so be it.
Peace,
SR
No. He is part of the Dialectical Materialism which is the MO of the Leftists. He is the release valve for emotions, so that we will lay down for the total encroachment on ALL Freedom.
Otherwise he would have carried the Sword of Truth-—which he skirts...the hard issues-—the FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS-—he skirts
“Since gay marriage is a fait accompli, no matter what the Supreme Court says, it’s a fait accompli, up next, transgenders. “ (It is very subtle psychology, folks-—that is for sure. He is brilliant.)
But he is only shaping attitudes and beliefs of the Right-—making them “think” homosexual marriage is “fine” along with the Leftist/Homofascists who are programming children as I type to take Pride in anal sex-—NOTHING from Rush about normalizing sodomy in the children 24/7 in Hollywood and schools-—nothing which will actually PUSH BACK.
To destroy the fundamental Worldview of children is what has been done for 20 years and he is too smart to not know it. I KNOW IT-—and I am not as brilliant as he supposedly is-—either he is controlled by the Left-—Bribed or as evil as the Leftists. There is no other reason for him to be so dumb. (Although he never raised children, he has nephews). He has to know that desires are learned and habituated and perverts have owned (and raped the Cory boys and “silence” about those powerful Hollywood producers who never saw persecution like the Catholic Church-—NONE. They still are allowed to pour filth into the minds of children and pervert their Reality and destroy Virtue which is essential for Freedom.
The very idea of Homosexual “Marriage” (oxymoron) throws out Natural Law Theory and Reason and Science from minds exposed to such vile concepts—and it is SEXIST besides like Afghani Ethics where harem boys are Natural ( The concept throws out...the Laws of Nature and nature’s God) from our Constitution. It flips 2000 years of Ethics-—from the Ethics of Christianity based on Reason (Science) and Logic and Rule of Law (Higher Laws) to Rule of Man and Satanic/pagan/Marxist Ethics-—irrational evil Laws.
He intentionally undermines Wisdom-—which is discerning Good and Evil. That is why I stopped listening to him years ago. He adds fire to the almost boiling pot-——he is about controlling “feelings” and your attitudes so you won’t resist the slavery which is coming soon——Not forcing Justice (Virtue) back into our Justice System which is the ONLY type of “Just” Law.
He would have asked for the Dept. of Education decades ago and harped on it until it was accomplished and exposed all the operant conditioning which destroyed Classical Education and the minds of our children.
