Politics and Hypocrisy at John Lewis Funeral

Jul 30, 2020



RUSH: It didn’t take long. The funeral for John Lewis is taking place at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, and Ronaldus Magnus was just blamed for racism and the lack of affordable housing and all that. Didn’t take long. Here it is… (silence) You don’t have number 22? (interruption) Well, okay. Here’s what the Reverend James Lawson said:

“We would not be in the struggle we are today in housing if President Reagan hadn’t cut that billions of dollars for housing where local churches and local nonprofits could build affordable housing in their own communities being sustained and financed by loans from the federal government. We don’t need bipartisan politics if we’re gonna celebrate the life of John Lewis.

“We need the Constitution to come alive. We will not be quiet, as long as our economy is shaped not by freedom but by plantation capitalism that continues to cause domination and control rather than access and liberty and equality for all.” These guys don’t understand what they’re even talking about. Plantation capitalism? By the way, the applause that got was through the roof.

Cut billions of dollars for housing? Local churches and local nonprofits could build affordable housing until Reagan came along? Do they not know what’s happening in the cities and suburbs today? There is a mad dash flight from the cities to suburbia, and that means the Democrats need to have corrupting policies implemented in suburbs quickly, which they are in the process of doing. I’ll explain it.

Stanley Kurtz has been writing about this at National Review for four years. The point is, get this: Lake Tahoe real estate salesmen are saying we’re running out of houses to sell. People are fleeing San Francisco so rapidly they’re buying up everything. They’re getting out of the city and they’re going out… (chuckles) To call Lake Tahoe a suburb of San Francisco is a stretch, but the point is people are fleeing the rat-infested aspects of the cities.

Not just San Francisco. They’re fleeing to suburbia.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Okay. Do you have audio sound bite number 23? (interruption) All right. Well, I’m told… I don’t know if this is true ’til I hear it myself. I’m told that the funeral for John Lewis is on the way to becoming the Wellstone memorial. That will take some doing. Here’s the supposed example. This is William Campbell, the former Atlanta mayor, and here is a portion of what he had to say.

CAMPBELL: In a solemn moment, he pulled me closer and he whispered, “Everyone has to vote in November. It is the most important election ever.” (applause). And I promised him with that with every fiber in my body I will tell everyone: If you truly want to honor this humble hero, make sure that you vote. First Corinthians tells us when faith, hope, and love remain, the greatest of these is love. John Lewis was love. Good night, sweet prince, and may flights of angels carry thee to thy rest. Thank you. (applause)

RUSH: Well, I wouldn’t call that Wellstone memorial. They got a long way to go to get to the Wellstone memorial. I don’t think they’re gonna get anywhere near Wellstone memorial. What that is, is former mayor William Campbell is saying that there was a solemn moment before John Lewis passed away. He summoned the mayor, said, “Get closer,” and he whispered, “Everybody has to vote in November. It’s the most important election ever.”

A, I don’t think anybody on the Democrat side needs to be told that to believe it. And, you know, Clinton has already spoken. If there’s gonna be Wellstone memorial evolution of this thing… You know, the funeral crashers have already spoken, and that’s not really happened. We got a call about this from Albuquerque. This is James. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. God bless your health.

RUSH: Thank you. Thank you, sir.

CALLER: Hey, look, the Dems, the Democrats’ hypocrisy is on full display. Why is it John Lewis can have a funeral where they’re all sitting practically right next to each other but the rest of us throughout the country, we can’t bury our loved ones? We had a family member that died during COVID-19, and we had to cremate him. He wanted to be buried in a coffin, and we weren’t able to because of COVID-19. This is complete hypocrisy on the Democrat side.

RUSH: Well, I was gonna say, “Your relative isn’t John Lewis.”

CALLER: Exactly.

RUSH: That’s why you don’t get a funeral.

CALLER: No.

RUSH: Your relative is not a prominent member of the House of Representatives, Congressional Black Caucasians. And your relative didn’t have Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, sitting in the audience wearing an ugly mask.

CALLER: I mean, is that inequality right there in full display?

RUSH: Not only that, you can’t probably even go to church with as many people as they have packed into the Ebenezer Baptist Church here today. That’s the one thing. You can go protest all you want. You can go stand in the protest march. You can throw Molotov cocktails. You can burn down buildings or try to. And the virus will leave you alone.

But if you go to church, if you try to have more than 50 people in your sanctuary, then you could be spreading the virus, and you’re not gonna be allowed to do that. But yet these people get to do what’s normal, every day for them. And of course, the question answers itself: Why does John Lewis get to have a funeral and you don’t? (chuckles) You’re not John Lewis. You’re not a Democrat. It really isn’t any more complicated than that.

RUSH: You know, they’re making a big deal — and let me print something here, folks. I’m gonna… I have to read this verbatim rather than paraphrase it because I’ve been waiting for this to happen. A lot of you have been wondering why I haven’t mentioned Herman Cain yet. There’s a reason why, and it’s coming right up. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is not in Atlanta.

He did not attend the funeral for John Lewis — and, of course, there are people saying, “This means Trump is a racist and he doesn’t care. He doesn’t love people. (sputtering) He — he — he can’t rise above the partisan differences and so forth.” Now, my memory is that John Lewis refused to attend Trump’s inauguration. I know my memory is correct.

John Lewis didn’t go to Trump’s inauguration, and John Lewis was part of the Democrat crowd that was out there every day for 3-1/2 years claiming that Trump’s election was illegitimate. So these people get to say whatever they want about Trump. They get to accuse him falsely of everything. It has not stopped. It has been multiple times a day, every day for three-plus years and counting.

And if you want to include the campaign of 2016, we’re into four years plus and counting. And yet Trump is supposed to be bigger than all of that and he’s supposed to set all that aside. But the Democrats don’t have to be bigger.

Sloe Joe's not the only one confused about where he is.  O'Bastard thought he was at Paul Wellstone's funeral.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

Want to talk about hypocricy Rush?  How about not even mentioning the Bush appearance and his giving credibilty to the most radical factions of the dim party. 

There are low lifes in the GOP doing immeasurable damage to our chances in 2020

Didn't Wellstone doom Kerry in '04?

I dunno.  If there is something to the concept of "praying people into Heaven," Wellstone got "prayed into Hell."  It was sad.  Even Jesse Ventura took his feather boa out of the stadium.

Jon Lewis was a horrible person. Like Al Sharpton. Still dragging out the VICTIM CARD?  I love my "4 J". who are black, but they are AMERICANS.  Lewis was not.  Same as MAD MAXINE. REAGAN? What about OBAMA, under him black unemployment was about 8 % and doubled to about 16 %!!  They love to SKIP over that bastardo.  Then communist, illegal Obamcare, had 19 new taxes in it and JOB KILLING REGULATIONS.

Issue with Reagan, NOT THESE MEN?  CARTER, LBJ, CLINTON, OBAMA.  ALL DEMON-RATS.
--------------------------------------
1. The War on Poverty
 In their compassion for the poor, liberals earmarked $50 billion in 1964 to provide medical care, housing, cash transfers, and food subsidies to ease the plight of the disadvantaged.
Defiantly a failed liberal Idea.
Hatched by social engineers who cooked up President Lyndon Johnsons great society the war on poverty spawned welfare mentality that has trapped the poor in a web of dependency, spent 16 trillion without making a dent in the poverty rate and its now higher than it’s ever been and will burn through another 10.3 trillion over the next 10 years.
 
2. The U.S. Department of Education
 
President Obama proposed a new education reform package called “Race to the Top,” which includes increased federal funding to states whose public schools improve student performance.

The U.S. Department of education has spent trillions of tax dollars growing a bloated top down bureaucracy but the American education still lags behind other countries. Now president Obama wants to bribe states with billions more if they give in to additional federal interference in their schools. If states show that there serious about reform says president Obama well show them the Money. I wonder-reform to what means? It sounds like more of that hope and change bull shit to me. We never got the memo on specifically what that was and look what we did get more liberal progressive failed socialism.
 
Defiantly a failed liberal Idea
 
If these ideas are so good why do liberals have to bribe people to use them?
 
 
3. The U.S. Department of Energy
 
Created in the 1970s as one of President Jimmy Carter’s bright ideas, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has seen its mission evolve from basic research and development to spending billions to commercialize technologies that aren’t yet viable—and might never be.
 
Despite funding numerous projects that never get off the ground, the U.S. Department of Energy has seen its budget grow by more than $11 billion in the last 10 years—a 76% increase!  Because our nation is looking for spending to cut, the DOE might be the place to start.  Instead of focusing on opening new sources of energy, the DOE pushes politically correct pet projects that are expensed to the American people.
 
 
Some of these ideas . . . like mood rings and polyester pants . . . are better left in the 1970s.
 
 
4. The Community Reinvestment Act
 
 
Liberals created the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to encourage private lenders to meet the needs of borrowers in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
 
The CRA spawned sub-prime mortgage lending, which boomed starting in the mid-1990s under President Bill Clinton. When the bubble burst, millions of sub-prime borrowers—the low-income people the CRA was created to help—found themselves owing more than their homes were worth. This set off the foreclosure cascade, tipped the economy into a prolonged recession we are still in, and plunged many families into poverty after they lost the homes they couldn’t afford but that Washington induced them to buy.
 
Defiantly a failed liberal Idea Ignoring the law of unintended consequences: It just doesn’t work.
 
 
5. ‘Comprehensive’ Immigration Reform
 
Senate liberals’ latest immigration proposal offers multiple “paths to citizenship” for foreign nationals who are in America illegally.
 
They’re touting their Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2011 as the complete and real solution to America’s immigration problems. Hoping Americans will ignore history, though, liberals’ current manipulation is as catastrophically irresponsible as the amnesty law Congress adopted in 1986, which more than quadrupled the population of people here illegally.
 
Doing the same thing and expecting a different result: That’s not going to get us anywhere.
 
Have you had enough of failed liberal and progressive ideas?
