Most people never knew freedom. Most people lived under tyranny and in bondage. Most people lived in poverty. They certainly lived in fear of the people who governed them or led them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Back on October 24th, Hillary Clinton tweeted, &#8216;Donald Trump refused to say that he would respect the results of the election. That\u2019s a direct threat to our democracy.\u2019 Well, we\u2019ve had a role reversal here, and Hillary &#8212; her campaign, anyway &#8212; are sponsoring this intimidation tactic of the Electoral College.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look around at what\u2019s going on in America right now and what people knew was going on and why the election results ended up being what they were. Real news is labeled fake news now. Award-winning children\u2019s books are banned. Police are assassinated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump\u2019s presidency is gonna be the most under siege, attacked presidency we\u2019ve ever had, day in, day out. It isn\u2019t going to stop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody will be able to convince me that the Clinton campaign isn\u2019t behind this effort to harass, threaten, and intimidate the electors in the states who will vote on December the 19th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The American left claim they\u2019re the open ones. They claim they are the understanding ones! They claim they are the ones with all the tolerance for a wide variety of views and opinions, and they\u2019re not. They are not open, they are not tolerant, they are not understanding. They are bullies and they are cowards, and they are afraid &#8212; viscerally, literally afraid &#8212; of any point of view that they don\u2019t ascribe to. And rather than consider it and rather than throw any view they disagree with open for debate, they shut it down.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m begging you to make a conscious effort to resist believing the stuff you read in the media about Trump flip-flopping or walking back, and either wait for me to set it straight or try it on your own.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump has advisers who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get into fistfights every day if they have to with the opposition. He does not have a bunch of milquetoasts around him. He doesn\u2019t have a bunch of traditional insider establishment politicians around him.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The whole purpose of the Rush Limbaugh Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans series is designed to counter what is being taught, obviously in places like Marshall, Wisconsin. These books tell the glorious, joyous truth of the founding of the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America, a genuine miracle, a God-blessed miracle.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think one of the things the left is really worried about is these books are reaching a demographic that they never, ever worried that I would reach, young people learning the truth of America, learning the greatness of America, learning to love and be joyous Americans. Doesn\u2019t fit with the left\u2019s agenda today.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s no political partisanship whatsoever in the Rush Revere Series. You won\u2019t even find the words &#8216;liberal,\u2019 &#8216;conservative,\u2019 &#8216;Democrat,\u2019 &#8216;Republican.\u2019 That\u2019s not the point. The point is to tell the truth of America. Every American needs to read these books, particularly every child so that they will have an insurance policy against the kind of ill education they\u2019re getting.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Climate change has all the elements the left believes in: Big Government, high taxes, limited liberty and freedom on the part of the people. The United States is guilty, the United States is to blame, the United States must bear the brunt of punishment.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted everybody to be able to enjoy these Rush Revere books, and we were trying to get past this silly leftist fear that there are things politically in it that would scare them or frighten them and make them want to hide the book or burn the book or ban the book. None of that. This is just the truth of the American founding, because we believe it\u2019s a miracle, and we believe that it was blessed by God.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign is being urged by a number of top computer scientists to call for a recount of vote totals in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.\u2019 No. They haven\u2019t found anything. The story is a total lie. It\u2019s a misdirection. There is not a shred of evidence. It\u2019s just three people calling themselves computer scientists claiming that they have looked at trends and concluding there could have been hackery of voting machines. And they admit there\u2019s no evidence of it! But that doesn\u2019t matter. Because once again a favorite tactic of the left: The seriousness of the charge vastly outweighs the nature of the evidence.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Betsy DeVos becomes the second woman chosen to fill a spot in Trump\u2019s cabinet as his secretary of education. Nikki Haley, South Carolina governor, is now the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Haley is a good pick, and so is Betsy DeVos. So this misogynist guy, Trump, he\u2019s really out there. He\u2019s chosen a couple of women here, folks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ladies and gentlemen, I really want you to try to do something, and that is to doubt everything that you see that has as its source the New York Times or NBC or CBS or ABC or CNN or the Los Angeles Times or USA Today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s my favorite time of year starting now and going through Christmas. I just absolutely love it. It\u2019s because of my childhood and memories of my childhood, and being in Sacramento and Pittsburgh and then moving to New York in 1988.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The true definition of American exceptionalism is America as founded is the exception to the way human beings lived on this planet prior to America.
