Debbie in Indianapolis, the Voice of America August 17, 2005
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Debbie in Indianapolis, named after Indians, and it's the headquarters of the NCAA. Welcome to the program.
CALLER: Hey, Rush we come from a super mega dittos household. When my 13-year-old was born she said ditto before she could say mom.
RUSH: (Laughing.) I'm not surprised. The future of America.
CALLER: Absolutely. I'm a MOM, which stands for, "Mother of a Marine", and I'm looking for a bumper sticker that says, "Your son got an A in college; my son got a Purple Heart in Iraq." His vehicle ran over a land mine twice in one day. We always talk about "if" something would happen to my son, I would never dishonor him. I'm sorry. I'm getting emotional in this. I would never dishonor his actions by doing what this woman is doing. My son volunteered to join the Marines. When he was 18 years, one month, and ten days old on September 12th he announced that he was joining the Marines after he saw the Twin Towers fall. When his first orders to Iraq were canceled he told us that, "Bush better not pull out before I get there." He knew it was something that needed to be done. He's going back for his second tour next month. What she's doing is not only dishonoring her son, she's dishonoring mine. RUSH: Debbie, I can't thank you enough for calling, and I can't thank you enough for doing another thing. You have just spoken for the vast majority of Americans in your call. You have just echoed exactly what they think. God bless you. Thanks so much for your call.
CALLER: I hope so. Thank you.
RUSH: You have, trust me on this. You are far more a voice, a representative voice of the people of this country than any of the rabble rousing malcontents that are being given airtime in a failed attempt to destroy the policy by the mainstream press. Trust me.
CALLER: It hurts me that she's sending the message that it seems like her son died for nothing. He didn't die for nothing. He died in the United States Armed Forces. There's nothing more honorable than that. These kids volunteered. They were not yanked from their cradle by an evil government to send them someplace they didn't want to go. My son knew on September 12th he was going over. My son knew what was in store for him, and my son stepped up to the plate. The caller you had on Monday, he was talking about, "Gee, how come these senators' kids aren't volunteering if the war is so great?" We're not going to talk about if the war is so great, let's talk about these kids who are great who stepped up to the plate and said, "You know what, I need to do something about this. There's something bigger than me out there."
RUSH: Debbie, exactly right. Debbie, thank you again. You just heard it, Debbie in Indianapolis, the voice of this country.
END TRANSCRIPT
I get goose bumps listening to this again.
Wow, he can declare someone the voice of this country.
He is truly greater than mere humans.
I need to dust off my Rush shrine and get some new candles.
Oh wow!! I'm soooo glad to see this posted. It was tearful to hear, but so very wonderful! I'm thrilled!
Rush was moved, as moved as I've ever heard him.
The MOM was very special, so articulate, so genuine, I felt privileged to hear this live.
God bless Debbie from Indianapolis!

I didn't get to hear Rush's show today so I just went to his site and found that. I can't believe how those people acted! They won't ever get me to spend another dime at the movies ever again! I'd rather stay home.

Some of the best and most patriotic folks I know DO live in Indianapolis.

oh my!
thank you, McGavin999, for saying that.
"This week, is the finest example of why I've stayed with Rush since 1990. How he handled that call today was definitely with "Talent on loan from God"!
Thank you Wilum. I cried even more when Rush responded to MOM, with such brilliance. It would have been difficult to speak after taking such an emotional call.
Excellent McGavin, excellent.
Rush -- who himself is from the Midwest -- has earned the right as a conservative stalwart to define a "voice of America."
And anyway, who'd you choose to best represent traditional American values? A New Yawkah?
I hate cryin.. it just wipes me out. But yes, she spoke for me.
That is beautiful! Awesome!
---------------------------------
Yep, a New Yorker, maybe like one of the 353 FDNY New Yorkers who stopped breathing on 9.11.
That was "BEST represent traditional American values," Poindexter.
I heard the call today from Debbie in Indianapolis.
I got a lump in my throat while listening to her.
If only the MSM would broadcast this call.
Bumping the sound clip. A must hear.
She needs to be with us in Crawford! I would chip in a hunk of change for her ticket
