Politics & Government - 12 September 2007

my friend has just been arrested and handcuffed because of being in possession of a stolen bike.

He was returning it and the police have arrested him.

What happens now?

Will he be in the cells overnight?

Will he go to prison?

See, the Democrats are running out of victims. The affluence in this country is good. We had the poverty statistics last week. The poverty in this country is not what it was. The Democrats need uneducated, unmotivated, voters. They need people to depend on them. They're going to have to create them. So the way they're going to do this -- to say that they destroy the country, we've gotta define that, because we have to be very careful here. This is an important point, and it's accurate, but when you say, "destroy the country," it can cause people to be turned off and not listen to what you say. They want to remake the country. They don't like capitalism. They don't like freedom, because that's when they lose elections. When people are economically prosperous, the last thing they need is government. When they are economically prosperous and growing, the last thing they need is government programs of any kind. The Democrats are desperate to have as many people dependent on government as possible, because government is the engine of their control and view of the country.

That's why they're trying to come up with all of these stealth health care plans and things, to get as many people as possible, depending on the government, for a need. Now, I happen to think health care is not a "need." I think it's a "desire." (But that's an argument for a different day.) You know, we all have wants and needs. The Democrats are trying to persuade as many people as possible to let them be in charge of supplying their needs, and the Democrats know that they cannot do that in a means of prosperity for everybody, so everybody will end up being in a situation of increased need without being educated or trained in order to provide for it themselves. It's about control of the population as a means of attaining total power that they can't lose, because at that point they'll never be voted out. Too many people will be dependent on them. Look at the black vote: 90% every year. Why? Well, it's what they're trying to do with the Hispanic vote. Look at the union vote. Look at the union money that comes in. You can look at their various constituency groups and find out how they planned to do it for the whole country. So it's not that they're trying to destroy it. They don't want America to stop being America. They just want to change the way it's structured. The way I put it is that they want to destroy the traditions and institutions that define this country's greatness, because they don't include liberals.

People have to understand what liberalism is. Liberalism, socialism, communism, you have to understand what it is versus conservatism. Conservatism puts total faith and confidence in the individual. "You go out there, pal, and do the best you can. We want to set up circumstances that make it possible for you to be the best you can be," and we do that by getting government and regulation and obstacles out of your way. The Democrats want total control of government for the purposes of securing their power. Now, there are some Republicans like that, too. That's why I'm not saying "Republicans and Democrats" here. I'm saying "conservatives and liberals."

treat inmates like garbage, do they get some sense of satisfaction, is it because they were bullied when they were young? i mean i know most criminals act like theyre garbage but theyre still human beings and should be treated that way

RUSH: Jill in Fort Worth, Texas, welcome to our program.

CALLER: Rush? Hi.

RUSH: Hi.

CALLER: I need your help real bad. My 17-year-old son is still in school, and he has this liberal teacher telling him that we're over there for oil. Can you help explain to him that she's lying?

RUSH: (sigh)

CALLER: (laugh) I know, you said it many times.

RUSH: He believes this is what you're saying.

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: We are in Iraq for oil?

CALLER: Exactly. I tried to tell him that. He comes back with these liberal, stupid comments, and I need help because I can't remember the stuff you've told me.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Help!

RUSH: One of the things you could tell your son is that if... Who does he think is after the oil? Does he think Bush and Cheney and Halliburton are after the oil?

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Of course.

RUSH: Obviously. You know what should concern you more than this is the literal dingleberry he's got for a teacher.

CALLER: Exactly.

RUSH: This teacher is an absolute imbecile.

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: She's an absolute imbecile. Here's what you need tell him. What's his first name?

CALLER: Randy.

RUSH: Randy?

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.

RUSH: You need to say, "Randy, if we were in the Middle East and in Iraq for oil, why don't we have it yet? We're the United States of America. Why are we worried about killing for it? Why don't we just go take the oil fields over there and take them? Why doesn't Halliburton own them? Why doesn't Bush own them? Why hasn't Bush quit? Why do we have to go to war, Randy, to get the oil in Iraq when we have military forces in Qatar (or "Cutter) and Saudi Arabia?"

CALLER: (Laughing.)

RUSH: "Why don't we just tell them, 'Hey, gang, your oil is ours'? What are they going to do to stop us? Why don't we tell the Kuwaitis -- who love us right now -- 'Hey, you know Saddam wanted your oil? Guess what? We're taking it'? If we were really that kind of country, Randy, we would be doing this all over the world. We would be going everywhere! If we want the oil so bad, how come we can't drill for our own in Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico?" And then I would say to him -- and I'm not a parent, and you are, and I would say to him -- "Randy, I understand you're 17, but you are really disappointing me. You are smarter than this," and say, "Randy, our number one supplier of oil in the world is Canada, and they don't have a military that can defeat us. Why don't we just go get theirs?" But tell him he's disappointing you, and you'll have nothing more to do with him 'til he gets his mind right, like my dad did to me.

Our lawyer is dragging his feet, he's had the case over 1 year and has 1 expert witness (surgeon) willing to testify for us, but has still not filed suit. If it comes down to it, we only have 6 months left before the statute of limitations runs out. We will need to do something to bring this to court ourselves. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

How do I report my local police department for theft?
Some kid came by my house the other day, said that my bike was his bike, so my bike was seized. The kid never provided any form of proof that he ever owned a bike like mine, so the port huron police department didn't let him take my bike, but they won't let me get my bike back because I don't have the receipt of when I bought the bike. How do I report the police department of Port Huron, Michigan for theft and get my bike back?
