BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Grab sound bite 27. I've got a little bit more coming on the sit-in, but it just ended, and what happened was that Nancy Pelosi surrounded by John Lewis and not -- (interruption) Yeah, yeah, James Clyburn, a Congressional Black Caucasian guy is following her down the steps -- Rangel -- followed her down the steps and proclaiming victory and so forth, singing, "We shall overcome." And you're saying, "We shall overcome? What the hell does it have to do with gun control? What do you mean, we shall overcome?"

It just proves my point. This stuff never ends, folks. There's never an end to any of these liberal complaints. Liberalism is a series of grievances in addition to everything else that it is. And everybody lives under the idea that, okay, if we address the grievance will you shut up and go away? Oh, yeah, we just want -- but it never does. It never happens. Every liberal supposed solution is simply the beginning of a new problem by design.

So here we have the end of the sit-in, they've walked down the steps singing "We Shall Overcome," and John Lewis heads to the mic, about 150 media people. For all intents and purposes they're applauding this valiant effort of these brave Democrats avoiding the dogs and the hoses and so forth of Bull Connor on the floor of the House doing everything they can to deprive the American people of their Second Amendment constitutional rights. They're being applauded for it. Here is John Lewis at the microphone.

LEWIS: It's not a struggle that lasts for one day or one week or one month or one year. It is a struggle. But we're gonna win the struggle. (applause) We must never, ever give up or give in. We must keep the faith. And we must come back here on July the 5th more determined than ever before.

USH: Right on. They're come back July 5th 'cause Ryan shut the place down. He shut it down and sent 'em home since they wouldn't stop the sit-in. It was the only way he could gain order so they're coming back July 5th. The struggle. The struggle. I think whatever Michelle Obama does a public appearance, the word "struggle" is part of, every one of them, the struggle. They're all in a struggle. What's the struggle? It's s-h-t-r-u-g-g-l-e, by the way.

And the struggle is never ending, they're ongoing, and the struggle, what is it? Why, it's discrimination. It is intimidation. It's bullying. It's the denial of rights. It's the denial of humanity. It's the ongoing struggle against the inherent unfairness of the United States of America. (interruption) They won that 50 years ago, the Civil Rights Act, I know they overcome. But that's the point. No, no, no. It's never over. He said so.

This is my point. Play the beginning of this again. It's never over. The struggle. Next day, next week, next month, next year, it's never over. Play it again.

LEWIS: It's not a struggle that lasts for one day or one week or one month or one year. It is a struggle. But we're gonna win the struggle. (applause) We must never, ever give up or give in. We must keep the faith. And we must come back here on July the 5th more determined than ever before.

RUSH: Right on, right on. We gonna win the struggle. We gonna win the struggle. There you have it.

John Lewis is not a civil rights icon but a black supremicist.

Civil rights icon my ass!

I emailed this fraud over 10 years ago asking this fool why are my taxes funding welfare for illegals.

His response was he didn’t know anything about welfare for illegals.

Public schools = stupid people.

When we fight for the right to keep and bear arms according to the Constitution, we are fighting the “Bull Connors” of the world.

Think of the absolutely infantile mindset it takes for people who are supposedly leaders to physically sit down and block congress from functioning, all because they aren’t getting their way.

It’s staggering. Without revolutionary change, this country is doomed.

The twitter guy David Burge had a great comment on this farce: “government stages sit-in strike against government to make more government”

The Supreme Court can make a Constitutional right appear or disappear.

We should be arguing that personal ownership of guns by ordinary citizens are what truly keeps ordinary Americans safe.

I don’t own a gun, nor do I have to. The mere chance that I or a neighbor might own a gun keeps people from robbing my house, my neighbors’ houses and from kidnapping my neighbors’ daughter for the White Slave trade.

Hillary and Obama will always enjoy high-quality Secret Service protection, as will their families.

What about our families?

What about equal protection under the laws?

Let’s put a bill into the hopper banning any person, including a member of the Secret Service, from having a gun within 500 feet of:
1. the President
2. a member of his family
3. Hillary Clinton
4. Bill Clinton
5. Chelsea Clinton
6. a member of Chelsea’s family

and then bring the bill up for a vote.

OK, I’m not an avid gun user, but seriously, the No Fly List has thousands of people on it that should have never been on it. The ACLU has condemned the list several times. As they have always said, the List takes away Due Process. So these children, who had 5 meals catered in at taxpayers expense, and had air matresses and pillows delivered, have now gone home for the 4th of July holiday and said they will be back in the 17th of July to continue their protest. So it’s obviously not a priority. Just showcasing. The ACLU said it will challenge any law that takes away a citizens rights without Due Process. So there you go, an organization that has helped women and African Americans and Gays is not stepping into the mud to say “Hold on a minute, we have laws”. This is going to get interesting

Looked more like a police line up than a sit in. A-hole Lewis needs to be reminded that all the mass murders the past seven years were committed by registered democRATs, thusly the RATs should be profiled.
