I have not heard a better way to explain it till I heard on the radio by El Senor Rushbo. That is why I put this together for more people to understand it.

RUSH: Now, I'm going to tell you something, folks. James Carville has warned of riots and trauma out there if Obama's up by a significant number going into the election and then loses. And if indeed the pollsters get this wrong and if they've got it wrong all along, and McCain pulls out an Electoral College victory, I hope somebody tells these rioters, if they riot, that the proper targets of their wrath are the media, because that's who's misled them all along.
Folks, I want to try something here. We criticize Senator McCain, for example, in the debate he brought up William Ayers, and those of us who watch, "Good, good, good." He didn't explain what Ayers is. He assumed that most people know who Ayers is. Now, for the bulk of this program and yesterday, as we have been focusing on Obama's 2001 audio, just recently found, by the way, his interview with the public radio station in Chicago, where he makes it plain that he wants the Supreme Court or wants the government, somehow the legal system, to enact his notion of redistribution, socialism. And, of course, we've discussed today that some people may not know what socialism is, and some people might think it's a good thing, what's wrong with it? And to those of you who maybe now understand socialism, maybe you're not quite sure about it. And I know you're out there, some of you are college students and I know liberals are listening. We do not preach to the choir here, contrary to what the critics say. But I want to try to explain to you why this is bad as it relates to the United States of America, by telling you what this country is and how it was founded in somewhat of a detailed fashion.
I'd like to ask this question again since I have your attention. There have been populations of people organized as countries since the founding of the planet, since it was created, and since humanity first appeared. People have organized themselves in various ways: groups, families, nations. Now, the earth and humanity, depending on who you talk to, is millions of years old, billions of years old, and throughout the history of human beings, no group of human beings has ever produced the wealth, the freedom, the opportunity, the prosperity, the security, as Americans. The United States of America, throughout human history, is the greatest nation however you wish to define it, in history. Now, how did this happen? We, the United States of America, are just human beings. There are countries that exist at the same time we have, there are countries that existed long before we came into being, of course in Europe and Asia, Africa, Australia, the subcontinents.
How is it that in less than 250 years, this group of human beings called Americans has revolutionized everything about life? We've produced the greatest standard of living and shared how to do it with others. We have produced a standard of living unheard of and undreamed of even by people who were alive 100 years ago. We have produced a country where the occupants, the residents have the highest expectations of opportunity, security, wealth, all of these things, education, than any group of human beings has ever had. I really would like for you to take a moment and, when you have a moment, ask yourselves how this can be. And do it honestly. How can it be? And not to besmirch some of these other countries, but just to give you an example. China, Japan, Russia, the satellite countries, Rome, Italy, take your pick, France, all these countries have been around much, much longer than we have. And admittedly, people that founded this country came from Europe. Why were they not able to do where they lived what they did here? You realize our Founding Fathers were Brits. Why were they not able to turn Great Britain or England into the United States when they lived there?
