RUSH: Here is Carrie in Chesapeake, Virginia. Great to have you with us, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for having me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m concerned about the future of our children, and I certainly appreciate what I think is your concern, too, through your Rush Revere books<\/a>, but I think we\u2019re sending mixed messages to our children. We teach them in elementary school and middle school no bullying, no fighting, no violence, embrace everyone, tolerance, respect. But yet somehow when they get to college they\u2019re encouraged to bully if it\u2019s outside of an opinion or use violence by tearing up things and damaging property. I mean, I don\u2019t think that there are Republicans or Democrats anymore. I think it\u2019s progressives and conservatives. And if you\u2019re a conservative and you have an opinion, you have groups like Antifa who get up in your face and threaten, and to me it\u2019s such a mixed message. And I\u2019m not going to pin it on Obama, but he did say that he wanted to fundamentally change this country.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Why won\u2019t you blame Obama? He is the guy that said get in their face. He\u2019s the guy that said if they bring a knife to a fight we bring a gun. Why don\u2019t you want to include him in it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because I think it\u2019s both sides. I think it\u2019s Washington, DC in general. I think that there are buzzwords that are always used to stand up and resist and rise up. However, you can\u2019t control people. You can\u2019t control everyone. So if a rogue group goes and destroys something or harms somebody, then they all act astonished that it was a rogue person. However, it\u2019s encouraged. I mean, we also tell our children anybody can be president of the United States. Well, that\u2019s not true either. You can only be president if you play the right game.<\/p>\n

I have two boys, both of them were bullied tremendously through middle school and one of them is still in high school. And I had to tell them: You can\u2019t defend yourself. You can\u2019t fight back. If you do, you\u2019re suspended. But yet when they get to college, it\u2019s a whole different game plan. And I think Pandora\u2019s box has been opened with all of this.<\/p>\n

I think once Pandora\u2019s box is opened with all of this resist, disrespect, you can\u2019t close it again. And I think what\u2019s happening is this country has been changed. And it\u2019s a wild, wild west, and if you oppose, you are crucified almost. I mean, what happens to the progressives when the younger people, for instance, don\u2019t get their promises such as free this or free that, free college, and then they turn on the progressives? I mean, there has to be some sort of —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I wish I could respond to you right now, I can\u2019t, because I\u2019m literally out of time but I will talk about this when we get back. I appreciate the call. Thank you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The woman, our last caller. You know, she had a couple of good points. That there aren\u2019t any Republicans or Democrats anymore. It\u2019s just progressives versus conservatives with Washington being the establishment type where all the attacks generally on tradition and morality are coming from.<\/p>\n

But her primary point was that we are sending confusing messages to our young people, that when they are young and in kindergarten, grade school, high school, middle school, whatever, that we teach them not to bully. Do not bully; it\u2019s a bad thing. And yet when these same kids get to college they\u2019re told that bullying and violence is called for if somebody says something you disagree with. That it\u2019s okay to beat them up. And she said this is sending mixed signals, and we\u2019re confusing people.<\/p>\n

Now, I didn\u2019t want to interrupt her. She was on a roll and our time was dwindling away. So I wanted her to be able to say as much as she could in the time that she had left. And she did a bang-up job not knowing how much time she had. We had a couple of callers today who have really exercised an innate talent for understanding broadcast timing constraints.<\/p>\n

\"\"At any rate, if I had stopped to interject with her about the bullying, I would have said to her that the people you claim are bullying on college campus — Antifa, she mentioned, Black Lives Matter — they don\u2019t think they\u2019re bullying. In their mind they are defending, and they\u2019re defending against evil. And therefore they are entitled to do anything. They can take whatever step necessary to stop evil. And that\u2019s what they\u2019ve been trained.<\/p>\n

The mixed messages or the confused messages that we\u2019re sending are indeed partisan. And they are indeed ideological. And people on the left believe that they\u2019re entitled and that whatever they think and whatever they are is just what is. It\u2019s natural and anything to the contrary is evil and must be destroyed, must be stamped out. They don\u2019t look at it as bullying at all.<\/p>\n

In fact, they would preach against bullying. They would say, for example, that the people they beat up are bullying them by disagreeing with them. And if you want to go even deeper, you might even suggest that this education with young people to not bully, don\u2019t be mean, is to set them up to be walked all over later in their life.<\/p>\n

And I wouldn\u2019t put that past the forward and long-term thinking of leftist social planners in the least. Create a bunch of wusses, pansies who believe it\u2019s not right to fight back or be defensive in any way and to set themselves up to be walked all over and be conditioned to be simply acquiescent. It may be a stretch, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if somebody were to learn that that\u2019s in some manual somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
