After talking about how much he hates the idea of idiots voting (meaning, of course, Democrats), he talks about the wisdom of the founding fathers in making sure that only White male property owners could vote, because you see, they had a stake in the system. Poor people don't have a stake in the system, so they shouldn't vote. But he does clarify himself.
No, I'm suggesting we go back. We can't. We never would. I'm not suggesting. I'm just saying that the theory behind it made sense in that they didn't want people voting who were clueless! They didn't care what people didn't know anything thought. Why should we? Why do you think I screen phone calls? I'm not going to sit here and waste valuable program time talking to dunces that have no clue what we're talking about. "But, Rush, they have a right!" They have no right whatsoever! This is a benevolent dictatorship. "But they have a First Amendment right." No, the First Amendment says you have a right to speak but nobody gets a right to be heard.So now I'm confused--is gold old Rush suggesting that we run our elections the way he runs his talk show? With, say, vote screeners determining who can and can't vote? Hmmmmmmm.
But of course the conflict isn't in Rush. He knows what he wants (and restricting the franchise to white male property owners isn't far from it). He just doesn't want to admit that because it will, let's face it, make him look like a jerk. Well, more of a jerk.
