I'd like to know your take on the signal that these Democrats are sending to these new recruits?

Question

Fathers of Marines Thank Rush;
Democrats Undermine Their Kids
Hey, Rush, real quick, I have a 17-year-old son who's a senior in high school, and he just enlisted in the Marines and he's heading off to Camp Pendleton this July. And he's raised some concerns and questions to me about the politics of the funding of the war.

I'd like to know your take on the signal that these Democrats are sending to these new recruits.

RUSH: Oh, I think the signal that they're sending to the new recruits is the same signal that they're sending to the current fighting force, and is the same signal that they are sending to our enemies overseas, that they can be counted on to secure defeat, if given the chance. They own defeat, Mark. Look it, it's worse than that. They can't permit victory politically. They simply cannot. They are so far out now from over the edge that even if there is victory, they can't even lay any claim to it or even say that they had a role and played any assistance in it. It's not that they're wedded to it now. For their political future, we must lose, and they must bring that about. I'll tell you what, your son is very perceptive, and all you need to do is see this smiling picture of Nancy Pelosi announcing this vote victory last Friday in the House of Representatives. The main thrust of that bill is to quit, to give up and lose by March 31st of 2008, and there she is just smiling like she's never been happier.

CALLER: Rush, it's even come home to my wife and I knowing what he's up against, but we've encouraged him. He's had a lifelong dream of being a Marine, and we told him every day, "Hey, we're proud of you. You have a lot of family members that are proud of you. The nation is proud of you." Rush, probably all the listeners out there right now on this program are proud of all these people going in.

RUSH: Oh, there's no question about it. Is your son...? Now, I know some people that are stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and they admit that they're affected by it. Sometimes their morale is down, but it doesn't affect the way they do their jobs. Your son is to be admired here. He's 17, and this is his dream, and he wants to do it. Here's another thing to consider. These people are not just against victory. They are against the military. The worst thing that can happen for them is military success. Your son obviously picks up on that but it hasn't changed his mind, has it? They haven't convinced him to give it up?

CALLER: Rush, he wants to serve his country like there's no tomorrow. You know, it's amazing his mind at 17 years old, and we're proud of him. Rush, hey, it's always great to talk to you. If I could just give you one more closing comment, if you don't mind? I know the call screener said there is a timeline here.

RUSH: Well, go ahead. The call screener is second in power to me.



CALLER: Hey, Rush, there have been two people in my life who have been a great influence, yourself and President Reagan, and I'm on business, and I had to stop at a small town in Illinois called Eureka, Illinois. I don't know if you know the significance of Eureka.

Answer 1

When the bodies of the people that died in New York were still being discovered, the same people calling this war illegal and unjust were standing on the streets with their American flags. When Kennedy, Clinton, and Kerry stood at the podium and called for us to go to Iraq becasue it was a clear and present danger to the United States, youo all waved those little flags, when Saddam was capture you toated with the neo-con next to yoou and again waved your little flag. When it began to look like this would not be a drive thru mission you started to put your flags away, and once your so called brave leaders stood up(4years later) and denounced the war, you denied ever holding that flag.

Answer 2

I think that's great. Is there a point? Four years, over three thousand dead American troops, Iraq in chaos and not an inch closer to being able to take care of itself and hundreds of billions of tax dollars spent. It seems to me that republicans are willing to throw America's sons and daughters into that meat grinder under the guise of patriotism.

Answer 3

Viet Nam vet!!! A democrat sent me, a rebublican brought me home!!!! I wouldn't serve under a democrat because they will sell your soul to the highest bidder, then try to make it look like that was your decision!!!! At the same time, their making love to your girl friend or your wife, even Hilary!!!!

Answer 4

sorry i cannot listen to rush. he makes my ears bleed. Don't forget the heroic Pat Tillman was a liberal and called the iraq war an illegal and exhorted other soldiers to vote for kerry, according to tillman's family.

Answer 5

It is sad to think that so many Americans obviously do not know families like this one. It makes you wonder where the liberals really spend their time. My prayers and thanks to this young man and the parents that raised him.

Answer 6

Hey! Rush, what was it you did when it was your turn to go, I don't seem to remember what it is that gives you the authority to offer any wisdom to other-wise BRAVE people.... and is it true most of your listeners are equally cowardly, but we're not supposed to know, I guess.....Oh! Well...we'll just continue to assume it.....

Answer 7
