Evidence: The Left Hates America

RUSH: Now, over the years, my friends, I have spent some time trying to explain to this audience of people here who liberals are and what they believe and why they believe it. And in one of the specific efforts that I have made, I have made repeated attempts to explain to you why the American left does not appear to love America. Instead, they have deep feelings of anger about America. You’ve heard me say it once; you’ve heard me say it a gazillion times. They do not believe in American exceptionalism. They don’t believe in American Greatness. They believe America was founded in an unjust, unfair — and in some cases illegal — manner.

They think there’s nothing worthy of celebrating about the United States.

I’ve had people say, “Don’t you think that’s a bit of an exaggeration? Don’t you think you’re going a little bit overboard on that? I mean, you want people to believe what you’re saying, but that sounds so odd that it…”

Well, it may sound odd. What it is is unconventional. What these are is truths that very few people will utter or say, for whatever reasons. But I come to you today with a little bit of evidence, as I always do. I always have evidence, facts, news, whatever, to back up my claims. I was just rummaging around doing show prep last night, and I came across a headline: “Martin Sheen Blames U.S. for Ruining Central America, Causing Immigration.” I said, “Well, looky here! (chuckles) Exactly what I’ve been saying! Exactly! Thank you, Emilio!” His name is Emilio Estevez, right?

“Appearing as a guest on Monday’s Tavis Smiley show on PBS, liberal actor Martin Sheen claimed that the United States is to blame for causing so many immigrants to leave Central American countries and travel to the U.S. as he complained about past interventions in some of those countries. [He] concluded that ‘we’re looking at what we have wrought.’” My friends, I do not make this up. I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked body, not just the back of my hand. I know them. I know what they think. I know what they’re going to think before they realize it. I know what they’re gonna do.

Sheen’s “comments came during a discussion after host Smiley brought up President Donald Trump’s recent decision to end the DACA program that benefits young illegal immigrants. After Sheen commented that it is important to ‘defend these young people,’ the PBS host suggested that there is ‘hatred’ for illegal immigrants as he followed up: ‘Take me back — I want to juxtapose or have you juxtapose for me, Martin, the hatred that you had to endure when you started out as an actor all those years ago. And that name — Ramon Estevez…”

Oh, it’s Ramon!

He’s Ramon Estevez.

“And that name — Ramon Estevez — didn’t serve you so well.” He changed the name to “Sheen” because he liked Bishop Sheen. (interruption) Yeah, one of his sons is Emilio. Is that Charlie or the other one? (interruption) The other one. I’m having a mental block. Anyway, they are the Estevez family. They’re the ones that changed their named, not me.

“An author and journalist came under fire on social media Monday, after she tweeted a reply to an anti-looting warning from Miami police by saying: ‘The carceral [sic] state… is inseparable from white supremacy.’” What she means is that police officers are arresting looters. Where I live, the only people allowed on the island in south Florida are residents and EMS people right now. I think they’re calling that Phase 2. Phase 3 is when employees (people that own businesses but don’t live there) can return. We couldn’t do the EIB Network program there today because the staff he doesn’t live there would not be allowed on the island.

The reason for this — and it’s not just Palm Beach, it’s all over south Florida — is to keep looters out. It’s the biggest problem they’ve got, ’cause every criminal mind knows that there are a lot of homes unoccupied, that a lot of homes that didn’t suffer a lot of damage are unoccupied, that people got the hell out. So they are just sitting-duck targets. So the police are doing everything they can the criminal element out.

You see, even criminals in a time of disaster have a right to what they see in the store even if they can’t afford it. In fact, even more if they can’t afford it because that’s unfair and that’s unjust, and that’s another reason why America is a bad place. So these people are just trying to survive and to arrest them is nothing more than white supremacy. You have to look up “carceral.” It means having to do with prison. It’s part of the root word of “incarceration.”

“The Miami Police Department took to Twitter on Sunday, as Hurricane Irma…” Which, by the way, was not as strong as predicted. Which, by the way, only did one-third the amount of damage that was predicted. Which, by the way, is still bad. But which, by the way, is not what was predicted. (I will get in trouble for pointing this out.) Anyway, “The Miami Police Department took to Twitter on Sunday, as Hurricane Irma battered the state.

“‘Thinking about looting? Ask these guys how that turned out. #stayindoors,’ the post read, sharing a photo of people inside a jail cell.
