Let's remember what a great man said.
"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
September 21, 2011
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Folks, this is a little Inside Baseball, but it's important because he who controls the language ends up winning the debate,
and it might seem like a small thing, but I have learned and I have been given to understand that the "establishment Republicans" hate the term.
They don't like being called "establishment Republicans,"
and they are trying to change the term to "establishment conservatives" and in the process co-opt the definition of "conservative" and conservatism.
It's not something that you'll notice if you watch cable news or even read.
You have to be able to see the stitches on the fastball, you have to be able to read between the lines,
and you have to know some stuff going on behind the scenes (and, of course, I am in a position to know these kinds of things).
So don't doubt me on this. The establishment Republicans are the "establishment Republicans.
The Republican leadership is the Republican establishment, meaning the elites.
They hate it and they are in the process of trying to redefine who conservatives are and what it is --and if they succeed, the conservatism that you and I hold dear will no longer be the definition of conservatism.
If they succeed, the current thinking of the Republican establishment will be what is called modern day conservatism.
It sounds like a small thing, but in a daily ebb and flow you'll not even see any news about this,
but it's in important because it's crucial who controls the language, who controls the way words are defined.
You and I know that the establishment Republicans don't like conservatives.
They didn't like Reagan.
They were embarrassed of Reagan.
They were embarrassed of us.
They didn't like the Moral Majority, they didn't like the Christian right, they don't like the pro-lifers.
They don't like the social conservatives at all.
They're embarrassed by us, in many ways, with their other buddies, the establishment Democrats --which combined gives us the Washington establishment,
and they very much prefer to be members of that club than ours.
But they know that it doesn't help them to be called "establishment Republicans."
So they're trying to take the term "conservative" and co-opt it and define it as they behave, write, speak, and even vote on matters of politics.
END TRANSCRIPT
"Establishment Republicans" are
Lying to Us With Threats of a Dire Default
Let's
remember:
Never stand and take a charge... charge them too.
Someone on another thread said
"... Constitutional limitations of government power especially freedom of the press and speech, are designed to make government impotent in the absence of a general consensus ..."
But with the press not doing its job, and the LAME Stream Media trying to silence speech they don't agree with,
we're in a real mess and under attack by an evil force rarely seen in this country.
The Republicans and the God-Given freedoms this country has enjoyed so far, are descending into oblivion.
And the
"Establishment Republicans" aren't doing a damned thing to stop it.
The
"Establishment Republicans" aren't providing
"the boots on the ground" to win.
They're trying to put the public back to sleep, lying to them, in order to keep their power, and
"wreck the country as it commits suicide".
So now the
"Establishment Republicans" have
"fractured their base" and,
because they have taught us
"that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics",
they're going to lose, and lose big, if they don't swing to the hard right wing of what used to be their party.
How many conservatives have re-registered as "Conservative Party" or "Independent" because they're fed up with being lied to?
We've been
"treated to one lecture after the other on the need for compromise and patience ", and we're sick of it.
We don't trust them any longer.
Look,
Rush said it best....
Now, the fact that the Republican establishment cannot make that case and other arguments
tells me that they may have already surrendered,and this is a big difference between us and the establishment.
They're in this defensive posture, I've told you,
I said on Greta how many times, a lot of people inside the Republican establishment secretly don't even believe Obama can be beaten.
And that's why they want Romney, 'cause they think at least Romney will help 'em take the Senate.
He'll lose less down the ballot than Gingrich or some conservative will.
But conservatives, you Tea Party activists, you don't want to give up
and you haven't given up,
and you don't want to accept this propaganda from the left.
We insist on challenging it, we insist on fighting it'cause there's no other way to save the country,
and continually playing these gamesletting the Democrats rewrite the language, change the definition of things,
get away with false accusations against us, never do anything about it,
constantly stay on defense.
So now, because of the
Establishment Republicans" there's not just a candle lit, but a bonfire lit ...
in the very heart of the conservatives, and it will burn away the dead wood that is
"Establishment Republicans."
Yes, it's time to curse the
"Establishment Republicans" for every thing they've NOT DONE!
And CURSE THEM for most of the things they HAVE DONE!
"Attack, repeat, ATTACK!"
