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
The average FDNY FF is a Christian, church going father and husband who spends his life (and often gives his life) risking everything for his community every day. If you can find a better representation of traditional American values I'd like to know where.
I had Rush on just long enough to hear this caller. She did an outstanding job speaking. God bless her and her Marine.
dude, put down the pipe and slowly back away
Indiana...
And btw, there are a thousands of law enforcement officers, firefighters, and servicemen (who reside disproportionally from the South) across America who "risk" everything every singe day -- NOT unlike their New Yawk counterparts.
Ergo, the answer to your question of the general populace is STILL the Midwest.
Ooooh...aaaah...:-*
LOL Looks like my animated GIF is screwed up to just one little pucker but you got the idea. :^*
Hey you two! Go get a room why don't ya! LOL!

But what a pucker it is (it only takes ONE, right? ;-)
Well said, asp1.
Well, if you insist. ;o)

I was cheering out loud , while listening.

Lol -- er, I mean, "Hotstuff"!
Debbie's passionate, eloquent, patriotic call to Rush was one of the most moving I've heard in a long time. I had tears streaming down my face from the moment her voice broke. Rush was right. She spoke for the majority of Americans, and she did it from her heart...from our hearts too. God bless her,and her wonderful son. God bless every one of our service men and women, and their families. We can never thank them enough.
I have no idea what you mean, but whatever it is, I think I disagree.
