I believe she\u2019s at Tulane. It\u2019s a major university, wherever she teaches. She\u2019s an African-American professor at Tulane. That\u2019s right. She also has a show on PMSNBC. Of course they\u2019ve got this slogan over there called &#8220;Lean Forward&#8221; or some such thing. Hosts of their shows are cutting promos that they run on the network, and last week they began airing a new Lean Forward promo for her show, which airs on the weekends. This is that promo.<\/p>\n<p>HARRIS-PERRY: We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we\u2019ve always had kind of a private notion of children: Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven\u2019t had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it\u2019s everybody\u2019s responsibility, and not just the household\u2019s, then we start making better investments.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N3qtpdSQox0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you have it. Now, I\u2019m sure some of you hear this and you\u2019re livid, and you\u2019re outraged. The thing that I really want to impress upon you is that this is not far out. This is not new. It is not unusual. It used to be. Stuff like this used to be. If anybody five years ago, or even two years ago, had said this? &#8220;Whoa, whoa! It\u2019s really lunatic stuff,&#8221; people would have said. &#8220;Oh, man, that is really extreme!&#8221; But it isn\u2019t new. What\u2019s new is that she has total confidence in saying it.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not worried that a majority of people are gonna disagree with this. But this is Marx-Engels, Communist Manifesto. The nuclear family has always been under attack by communists, by leftists. The nuclear family &#8212; just like religion &#8212; must be destroyed, and in its place, &#8220;the community,&#8221; the collective. So, while this is outrageous in its self-contained form, it isn\u2019t anything new. I guess one of the things that is the most frustrating to me is that liberalism and socialism and Marxism and this kind of stuff have been out there on display for people to see and recognize and accept as true for decades.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t anything new. Yet in the past people would hear something like this and choose not to have to deal with it. That would have meant taking action, and it was much easier to say, &#8220;Nah, that\u2019s never gonna happen. I mean, that\u2019s just not going to happen.&#8221; So where has that left us? All of these things we thought were never gonna happen are now happening &#8212; and the opposition party, which in this case is the Republican Party, has basically one item in their agenda, and that\u2019s to stop these guys.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no alternative. There is no vision. There is no equally correlating long-term vision being articulated by the opposition to this. All we\u2019re doing, all the party\u2019s doing, is saying, &#8220;We have to stop those guys. In the way of stopping it, we\u2019ll agree with some of it. Maybe partial amnesty or whatever. We\u2019ll moderate our terms here on social issues. Okay, gay marriage? Fine. We can see where that\u2019ll work. All right, all right.&#8221; But there\u2019s no push-back, and so there\u2019s no reason for Melissa Harris-Perry to be worried about any negative fallout or feedback from this.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_75016\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushReestablishConserve585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Because as far as she\u2019s concerned, everybody thinks this now. I want you to listen to it again. I want you to listen to just how naturally it flows off her tongue. I want you to listen to how matter of fact it all is; how she just presumes everybody agrees with this. This is not something she even has to defend. This isn\u2019t an argument that she has to win the debate about. This is a conclusion now that we\u2019ve all come to, and everything in here is a conclusion. &#8220;We\u2019re not spending enough on education.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going bankrupt on all we\u2019re spending on education! We\u2019re getting nothing for it. I\u2019ve got the story of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12733\">what\u2019s happening at Bowdoin College<\/a> up in Maine coming up. I\u2019ll give you the details here just a second. &#8220;We\u2019re never invested as much in public education as we should have&#8221;? We\u2019re throwing money down a rat hole drain of public education! We lead the world in public education spending. We lead the world in getting the least for it. &#8220;We\u2019ve had a private notion of children that your kid is yours and your responsibility&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>How old-fashioned!<\/p>\n<p>How utterly irresponsible was that! How selfish could you be, thinking that your kid is yours? That was never the deal. The kid belongs to all of us. Look, as I say, Mrs. Clinton tried this. It Takes a Village &#8212; and what was the reaction then? Everybody laughed at it, made fun of it, and had jokes at her expense. I know I did. A lot of people did. Back then, in the nineties when Mrs. Clinton\u2019s book came out, nobody ever thought anything like that would ever really happen, where the state would literally claim ownership of your kids.<\/p>\n<p>It was so foreign, it was so out of the realm of common sense and even belief that people never, ever took it seriously. Yet these people keep plugging away, and they keep setting up their Head Start programs, and they keep setting up national publicly funded government-run day care centers, and they keep furthering the notion that somebody else can raise your kids better than you can. They got traction on the idea that fathers are the worst thing for a kid, especially for girl kids \u2019cause fathers are predators.<\/p>\n<p>Fathers are dangerous, rapists. They beat up their mothers on Super Bowl Sunday. All this outrageous stuff everybody laughed at and said, &#8220;No way anyone will believe that,&#8221; they just kept plugging away at it and they think it\u2019s commonly accepted as fact. Here, listen. This is a professor. I don\u2019t know of what, but it doesn\u2019t matter. She could be a professor of history. She\u2019s teaching this rotgut. It doesn\u2019t matter. Okay, here\u2019s Melissa Harris-Perry.<\/p>\n<p>HARRIS-PERRY: We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we\u2019ve always had kind of a private notion of children: Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven\u2019t had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it\u2019s everybody\u2019s responsibility and not just the household\u2019s, then we start making better investments.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Folks, that is as foreign as anything I\u2019ve ever&#8230;  That, to me, is insanity.  This is, you know, go get the guys in the white coats, bring the little van up, take her away.  That\u2019s what this is.  We haven\u2019t had a very collective notion of these are our children.  So we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families.  We need to recognize that kids belong to whole communities, and not \u2019til then will we start spending the right amount of money on it.  So how does this manifest itself? <\/p>\n<p>You need your yard mowed, what do you do?  You go knock on the door down the street and say, &#8220;Your kid that you don\u2019t own, I do today for the next hour. Your kid\u2019s gonna mow my yard, and then after that my trash needs taking out, and after that I need somebody to go to the grocery store for me. My kid\u2019s tied up, so I\u2019m claiming your kid.&#8221;  How does this work?  What is the practical application?  What she is saying, Melissa Harris-Perry, what she is saying here is as old as communist genocide.  But, the fact that it is said in America on a cable news channel, and is considered fairly benign is what has changed.  What\u2019s changed is that people believe this.  This isn\u2019t that big a deal anymore.  That\u2019s what\u2019s changed, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Melissa Harris-Perry is a professor.
