RUSH:
We are on the verge, ladies and gentlemen, of becoming a socialist
country. The federal government now owns 80% of AIG, my insurer. That
means that you are going to be propping up the outfit that insures me.
I'm going to be, too, but so are you. If you want to fix AIG, put the
guy who built it back in there, Maurice Hank Greenberg, not to be
confused with Hank Ace Greenberg who ran Bear Stearns. Where's that
now, by the way?
We have a socialist retirement system. We have a socialist health care
system for the elderly. We have automobile and aviation companies on
the verge of bankruptcy or government ownership due to legislation and
regulation in oil prices that could be half of what they are if
Congress got out of the way. Look at me. The problem with General
Motors and Ford and Chrysler and domestic auto manufacturers is not
that they don't know how to run their business. They are all kicking
butt internationally. Ford, General Motors are selling cars out the
wazoo internationally. You know what they don't face? The same kind
of onerous regulation they have here. You want to fix the Ford auto
industry, General Motors, local, domestic auto industry, just get rid
of the CAFE standards. The idea that people that run the auto
companies do not know how to make cars that people want has been
obscured by the fact that they've been forced to make cars fitting
mandates offered by government, people in government who have never
built a car, have never designed a car, have never marketed nor sold a
car. Just get government out of their way, and then let 'em sink or
swim on their own. How is it that all three of them are up the creek?
All three of them face the same onerous regulations.
![]() What about oil prices and the effect on the
price of a car and the mileage and the kind of car you want? Get
Washington out of the way on that, not this phony bill that Nancy
Pelosi ushered through the House. We can drill everywhere there isn't
oil now, and you know why they had to usher this through? 'Cause they
knew it was a losing issue for them. We had 'em right between the
eyes. We had 'em right in the palm of our hands. They were on the
wrong side of this drill, drill, drill, right here, right now,
business, so they usher through this stupid thing. It's the same, the
Gang of Ten, gang of 16, now gang of 20 in the Senate -- oh, yeah,
we're going to allow drilling, we're going to drill, drill, drill, but
it's gotta be further than 50 miles offshore. Most of the oil is
closer than that, so Big Oil has been told go ahead and invest and
drill where there isn't any oil, which they won't do.
We are on the verge of becoming a socialist country. This election
puts the private sector directly at odds with the public sector. And
we are about to find out which will control the vast majority of jobs
and wealth creation in this country. Committed liberals, socialists
are in charge of both houses of Congress, the media is pushing them
over the finish line in November, trying to. They are salivating at
the chance to keep this ball rolling -- Jay & the Techniques,
1967. Barack Obama is not just the most liberal senator in the
country. Barack Obama is a committed socialist, trained by Marxists
like Saul Alinsky who bows at the feet of Jeremiah Wright. Democrats
don't have solutions, my friends.. All they have is blame. All they
have is complaints. Most of their complaints, as Barack's economic
plan is, is a complaint about capitalism. Why do they hate
capitalism? Because they don't control it, capitalism is where you
have more freedom and liberty, and they don't have any control. That's
why they don't like it. They just have blame for Republicans and Big
Business. They have been targeted for slaughter. They don't tell us
what they're going to replace all these things with, but by connecting
the dots it's a no-brainer.
By the way, how is the state of Illinois being run by Obama, Daley,
Durbin, et cetera? Let's look at some things here. Change Chicago
style, body count. In the last six months, 292 people have been
murdered in Chicago, 221 have died in Iraq. Senators Obama and Durbin,
Jesse Jackson, Jr., Governor Rod Blagojevich, House Leader Mike
Madigan, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, the daughter of Mike Madigan,
Mayor Richard Daley, son of Mayor Richard Daley, our leadership in
Illinois, all Democrats. Look at the murder rate. It's a combat zone
in Chicago. Of course, they're all blaming each other. They can't
blame any Republicans in Chicago because there aren't any. The state
pension fund, Illinois, $44 billion in debt, worst in the country.
Cook County, Chicago, sales tax, 10.25%, highest in the country. Look
it up if you want. Chicago school system, one of the worst in the
country, the students there just protested! This is the political
culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. He is going to fix
Washington politics?
I mentioned Michigan, look at Michigan. Liberals wreak havoc with
everything they touch. They wrecked the mortgage industry. They're
wrecking the oil industry. They have wrecked retirement and elderly
health care systems. They are hell-bent on wrecking the rest of the
health care industry. And for good measure, they actively try to
humiliate our military and see to it that they lose. We are playing
for keeps, folks. This is not just another election. Events have
brought us to where the government has become so invested in the
affairs of the private sector that the next president will determine if
the private sector or the public sector is going to be calling the
shots. Barack Obama is one of the people who could be making those
decisions. It's crunch time in the big city. |

TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: One more way of saying what I just said, ladies and gentlemen,
and then we will get to the phones. I know it's going against the
grain to say this, but these entities, Lehman Brothers, AIG, what have
you, they need to fail no matter how big they may be, no matter the
frantic and overblown predictions of economic demise. We've had many
investment banks go south. We had a whole savings and loan industry go
south. We're here in more prosperity -- Obama so full of it.
America's better today than it was yesterday; it's going to be better
tomorrow than it was today. When he says America is not what it was,
tell me when it was better, sir. Even for you. You, sir, got rich
during the Bush years. The Clintons got rich during the Bush years.
And you whine and moan about the Bush years! You couldn't even afford
a rental car in LA in 1996. You got kicked out of the Democrat
convention 'cause you couldn't get a credential. It took George Bush
getting elected in year 2000 for you to actually arrive and have some
money, that and meeting Tony Rezko. But it happened during the Bush
years.
![]() All these companies we're talking about here
are international companies. We're not only bailing out American
investors and customers, but investors and customers worldwide. The
issue here I don't think is regulation. The issue is the wrong kind of
regulation, the wrong kind of regulating. To say that any industry in
this country is free of regulation is utterly ignorant. You cannot
build an extension on your home without receiving an endless number of
permits from local government. Hell, half the time you can't build a
house where you want to build it because you gotta walk a tightrope and
a minefield of environmentalist wacko regulations, stupid tax laws from
your local community. In some places -- ahem -- you even have to get
permission for the color of your house you're going to paint. Ahem.
Some places you have to submit plans for the interior decorations that
you are going to have. In some places don't you dare fly an American
flag. And certain times of the year, don't you dare turn your lights
on in your backyard because some turtles might head in the wrong
direction, even when the turtles aren't there for three months, you
can't turn your lights on in certain places in this country. We are so
over-relegated, it's absurd!
And now they want even more regulation, not just more regulation, they
want to run the outfits they have been regulating. Unfortunately,
liberals are demanding more and more low-interest loans for college,
more great sounding populist interference with market forces, all while
talking about we gotta get tuitions down, but they'll never do that.
We never hear about the corrupt Big University, Big Education. They're
ripping people off left and right, not only how they're not educating
them, but what they're charging them not to be educated. The liberals
whine and moan about the high cost of tuition but never do a damn thing
about it because it's their buddies running the schools.. Part of the
old boys network and they're going to continue to make sure those old
boys get paid well, the instructors, the professors, university
presidents and so forth. Companies have to fail so that more capital
doesn't follow bad capital and more risk doesn't follow already bad
decisions. One of the reasons all this happened was that there was no
risk, or there was thought to be no risk, government is going to bail
everybody out here, thought these people, and so there was no
responsibility. The whole concept of risk was lessened considerably.
When you go into a risky situation thinking there isn't any, then
what's to stop you? If you know on the back end that somebody's going
to bail you out, then why even run the place responsibly? Why not just
bleed it dry? Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae, hundred million bucks, now
Obama's economic advisor.
Government has got to recede from the market.. Government must stop
the imposition of political decisions in lieu of sound market
decisions. A lot of people have gotten very rich from all this. See,
that's the dirty little secret. Franklin Raines, a hundred million
dollars in like seven years, running Fannie Mae into the ground, former
Clinton administration official, now an Obama economic advisor. This
is not American capitalism, what we're watching. As we sit here today,
more and more areas of the economy are essentially being nationalized.
The government is taking over the responsibility for more and more of
these businesses. And I'll tell you, the auto companies, they're
asking, they're knocking on the door, the airline industry, they're
going to be next. The sad thing is executives of these places might
welcome all of this. Get rid of the responsibility they have, they
think. This is the same government, keep this in mind, my good
friends, this is the same government that has imposed trillions and
trillions of dollars in debt on our society through irresponsible and
unsound entitlement programs, has no intention of stopping, and as I
say, while they ran your mortgage industry into the ground, while they
sat by and watched because of their own actions the value of your house
plummet, they attack Big Oil as corrupt, they attack Wal-Mart, they
attack Big Insurance, they attack Big Fast Food, they attack Big
Trans-Fat, they attack Big Pharma.
Their enemies list is the private sector of this country where you
work. Their enemy, all of their enemies, are your employers. You have
it, you can see, side by side, A-B comparison, government runs
mortgages, what happens? Government gets in charge and runs health
care, what happens? Government gets in charge, fixes poverty, Great
Society, what happens? Affirmative action, feminism, you talk about
creating a meaner America? It's liberal policies that pit groups of
Americans against one another, on purpose. There needs to be a
cleansing of this process at some point, folks. Either we take control
of events and address them now or events will take control with
disastrous consequences, if not for us, surely the next generation or
two. And all those people making these decisions today, the members of
Congress and all that will be long gone, but your kids and grandkids
will not. |

If you really look back at the Cambodian history and the current
situation in the Cambodian society, one can come to a conclusion that
Cambodians are still fighting each other for power so they can corrupt
and to practice the culture of impunity over no one but their own
people in their own nation.
Cambodian people have been doing this for a very long time from one
generation to another.
Cambodians also have been searching ways to tacle their problems by
clinging to the same rhetorics.
The Cambodian culture cannot be changed. KhmerRouge tried to do it.
Yet, they could not succeed. Instead, they almost destroyed it to
ground zero.
Now, they are back to the same rhetorics. They corrupt and practice
the culture of impunity.What else is new?
In comparison, Thailand has been living in peace under their monarchy
lead. They brought their society to a higher standard. They continue
to make it better. Hence, there is no comparison between Cambodia and
Thailand.
So Cambodia would be better when they join Thailand as one nation.
> The game of cat and mouse of the Thai border guards with Khmer is larger
than you and I could understand. The Thai military whose tie to the Thai
political establishment, the monarchy, is trying to bait Cambodia into mini
crisis to discredit the PPP party government of former PM Thaksin. I give Hun
Sen credit for taking at most care to deal it firmly and not unwittingly become
a tool for the anti government factions and the military. The Thai has no
legal ground to claim those temples and lands in world court. That is why they
try to bait cambodia into a fight. Above all, it has nothing with the Paris
Agreement, it has a lot to do with Siam French Treaties that the Thai want to
resin and the potential offshore oil and gas deposit.
It's not a game. Thailand really wants that territory to be their
land. Thailand wants Angkor to be theirs as well.
Stupidity from the Cambodian side will not discourage those nation to
pursue that dream. Actually, they are encouraging through their own
act of self destruction. Thailand will take that part of the country.
It's not a game.
> The reason Hun Sen does not want to have the UN get involved yet is
because the UN security council, lining up with Thai friendly veto power
countries like the US, UK. Hun Sen also does not want the useless ASEAN
to lose face if he goes over the ASEAN head directly to the UN.
Who is Hun Sen and his government?
Aren't they Cambodians?
If they are, why are they so stupid according to your view?
> It is sad that oppositions do not have foreign policy experts, surrounding
themselves only with ignorant nationalist yes-man. Just listen the US, Condi
Rice, and yesterday, Negapornte also said the US wants Cambodia and Thai to have
bilateral talk to resolve the problems. ASEAN is powerless to solve
Thai-Cambodian issues because it was not set up to do that--solve conflicts..
Only UN will do but Cambodia has to try bilateral talk with Thailand first as
the US [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Running Cambodia the way Hun Sen and his CPP
team are doing now, Cambodian people are better off somewhere else including
Thailand. If the borders are open and Thailand allows Cambodians to migrate in,
you will see the influx of Cambodians leaving Cambodia to reside in Thailand.
The living standard is far better in Thailand than in many places of Cambodia.
Many Cambodians are leaving Cambodia to find better job in Thailand, Korea,
Taiwan and other countries just to be their slave. Millions Khmer in Thailand
are being treated better by Thai government. Meanwhile, Cambodian government is
treating its own citizens like animal.

The American government and the American people have no vital interest
in that region at this time.
So their comment is nothing but the promote peaceful solution.
Don't expect America to help anyone there anytime soon.

>
> Thailand, however, will not take over the entire Cambodia at this time..
They will continue to harass Cambodia to chip off its territory, the way Vietnam
has done to Cambodia. Cambodia will have a hard time explaining to the UN about
its continuous violations of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement. If Cambodia and
Vietnam do not respect the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, why should Thailand
respect any agreements at all? This explains why Hun Sen hesitates to get the UN
involved. Plus, what kind of businesses have Hun Sen and Thaksin done in
Cambodia?
>
It is impossible for Thailand to take over Cambodia at this time. No
one has ever suggest that.
However, the people of Cambodia can. They can become a part of great
nation called the kingdom of Thailand.
>
>
> Cambodia needs a better government, but will Vietnam allow? Will
Cambodians continue to be gutless forever?
>
Cambodia needs a better culture, not new different same government.
Cambodian government officals are nothing but thugs who try to extort
their own people in many ways they can.
It's the way they live in Cambodia.
It's their own culture.
They corrupt and to practice the culture of impunity.
They do it from all Cambodian history.
They use power to practice this culture.
That's their prestige.
They even kill their own people for power.
They even destroy their own nation for power.
That's their goal.
