Thread: Limbaugh & Caller Discuss Open Borders & Sessions To

RUSH: We'll just wait. We'll just wait and find out how long it takes for the Democrats to figure out their tack on this. It ought to be pretty quickly because it's the natural reaction they have to this, talking about the Fort Dix Six. Dave in Detroit, you're next. Great to have you with us today.

CALLER: Hello, Rush.

RUSH: Hello.

CALLER: Rush, I guess my question would be, I can't calculate how the trillion dollars we're French frying in Iraq is really keeping us safe over here. I don't think there are any Iraqis terrorist attacks, and to my way of thinking, for fractions of what we're spending there, we should be able to keep these borders safe and do more to stop homegrown terrorist attacks.

RUSH: If I heard you correctly, I have to admit to being stunned, because your question contains an either/or, and you throw in this gratuitous business that the Fort Dix Six had nothing to do with Iraq. In the first place, they do. It's all connected: 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, terrorist attacks in the Philippines, prior attacks before 9/11, all of this stuff is connected. There is an ideology out there, militant Islam: a bunch of jihadists, who want to wipe us out. They hate us. I don't know how much money it took, by the way, for a video store clerk to spot some suspicious jihadists who came in. How bright are these guys to go get a DVD duplicated that shows how to fire all these weapons for jihad? All we needed was an alert citizen. It's sort of like the millennium attack. We had an alert Customs official that thwarted an attack by militant Islamists in 2000, before 9/11. It was planned for LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. There are other examples of this. In fact, I'll never forget John Ashcroft. After 9/11, he was then the attorney general, and Ashcroft put out a notice to the American people, "Be vigilant. Be on the lookout." The libs all pooh-poohed it and laughed at it, and then, "Oh, you just want the American people to run around fingering their neighbors and the government is supposed to protect us! The American citizens are not supposed to protect each other! They're the ones that need it."

Here you had an alert clerk. I get these questions. You guys have got Iraq on the brain. It is poisoning your brain. It's eating your brain cells away. You're otherwise intelligent people, for the most part. But this, "I don't know what these guys had to do with Iraq." The next thing we're going to hear is the fact that our being in Iraq caused this. That would be typical for the Democrats to say. This is ultimately Bush's fault. "That's why they hate us." (Big sigh.) We have a great story here. We have an absolutely pretty good story: an average, ordinary American did his job, did his duty. He wasn't intimidated; he wasn't afraid, and I need to make this point again. The flying imam lawsuit up there in Minnesota was about stopping exactly this kind of thing, about stopping good Samaritans from doing their jobs. They wanted to shut down people on airplanes from reporting suspicious behavior on those airplanes. This is classic. This is not a money thing. This didn't take any money at all. I agree with you about border control, but you're acting like I'm somehow for open borders, when I'm not. In fact, speaking of that, go all the way back to the top of the audio sound bites. Jeff Sessions yesterday on the floor of the Senate -- he's a Senator from Alabama -- was talking about Dingy Harry's plan to resubmit last year's immigration bill. They're trying to get something done here by the August recess, and Sessions is worried they're trying to ram this thing through before anybody knows what's in it. This is what he said.

SESSIONS: When you do that there won't be time for the American people or Rush Limbaugh to find out what's in it and tell the American people what's in it so they can get mad about it. That's basically what it's about. They want to slide it through with the least possible time to discuss it, and I think that's irresponsible. It's wrong.

RUSH: I'll tell you what, I am honored. On the floor of the Senate, Senator Sessions says, "There won't be time for the American people or for Rush Limbaugh..." and, by the way, I think he said this purposely because that's one of the Democrats' purposes is to keep people like me from finding out about it and alerting you and everybody else to what's in it. He knows this. So to call here and rip into me as an open borders guy and start talking about money, is sadly irrelevant. It misses the point.

First of all, the IRAQ War is nothing more than a BLIP on the screen compared to a possible cost of AMNESTY!!!!!

This needs to be put into perspective.

These traitorous elected officials are attempting to dump upon the American people TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in tax money to be used by ILLEGAL CRIMINALS and their families and families families, etc. etc.

Our Children will be sucked dry!!
Their children will have nothing left of what our forefathers fought for and worked to build!!
FREEDOM as we know it will have been killed!!
