RUSH: Here\u2019s David in Charlotte, North Carolina. You\u2019re next, great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I have a 9-year-old son, and my wife and I have him in a private school because we don\u2019t want to indoctrinate him into the failing public schools system and what not. So we sacrificed to do that. Now this week we had the conversation in Cub Scouts. He\u2019s in the Boy Scouts of America, and they\u2019re considering bringing girls into the Boy Scouts of America system. My initial reaction was, “That\u2019s some left-wing activism trying to get at our children at another direction.” And I\u2019m hoping that I\u2019m wrong and that it\u2019s actually, “We have siblings. Let them come play, too.” But what is your feeling on that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (sigh) When I first heard this, what I think has happened — and I don\u2019t know the specifics, and I don\u2019t know the people involved here. So you have to allow that I could be dead wrong about this. But I think, in a general sense, what\u2019s happening is that the left is using the power of the media to pressure and bully a bunch of heretofore traditional American or conservative organizations — and I think it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n

When I saw that the Boy Scouts are going to admit girls, remember what came first, the Boy Scouts — this is the Cub Scouts, but the Boy Scouts had to admit gays. And the Boy Scouts had to separate their associations with churches because all this was discriminatory, and it was racist, and it was anti-gay, and they just buckled. Either that or the leadership of these groups have been taken over by leftists, which is also a possibility. The Cub Scouts being forced to admit girls — was it Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts or both?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believe it\u2019s definitely going to be in the Cub Scouts. And I think it\u2019s going to be both, from the research I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When I saw that, to me it just wreaked of somebody buckling to pressure that the Cub Scouts is a discriminatory organization because it only allows boys. The left succeeds with a lot of their mission this way by bullying people. People don\u2019t want to be thought of as sexists, and they don\u2019t want to be thought of as racists, and they don\u2019t want to be thought of as bigots.<\/p>\n

So they go out of their way to prove that they\u2019re not: “Hey, look at me, hey, look at us, we\u2019re going to let girls join the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts now.” Now the reaction, “What about the Girl Scouts? What are they supposed to do now? Are they going to admit boys?” That will be a fat chance. Not until Harvey Weinstein is a troop leader will that happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. Trouble.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) I wonder if I\u2019ll be condemned for that comment. (Chuckling) Well, is your son nervous about this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He didn\u2019t know what to think about it. One of the other parents who has a daughter asked the kids when the leader had stepped out. He didn\u2019t know what to think. Another boy in the troop said that he didn\u2019t want girls there. But as a parent, I\u2019m the one that\u2019s concerned, because we don\u2019t have them in the public school because we don\u2019t want that indoctrination and this is another avenue that they can use —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand your sensitivity to that, because on the surface it appears like that may be a factor. I was a Cub Scout once, I forgot the age — was it 7, 8, 9 years old?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, he\u2019s 9 now and he\u2019s in the last stage of Cub Scouts.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: I\u2019m not trying to pry here. But your son, who is 9, is a Cub Scout, does he like being around girls or is he at that stage, “I don\u2019t want the girls here, I don\u2019t want the girls here”?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, he plays with girls in his class. He doesn\u2019t have a problem with it yet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Some boys at that age don\u2019t want anything to do with the girls. They haven\u2019t yet matured and seen the light. It\u2019s just, ick, girls? No, I don\u2019t want Barbie dolls hanging around me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My son is well balanced. He reads two levels above his grade. He\u2019s a pretty sharp cat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wish I could offer you more definitive on this, but I frankly haven\u2019t seen anything more on it than what the original story was, which I don\u2019t even remember if it\u2019s Cub or Boy Scouts. But I think you\u2019re right, it\u2019s Cub Scouts admitting girls. I have to chalk it up to somebody buckling under pressure. Although I didn\u2019t know that there was any pressure being exerted on the Cub Scouts to admit girls. Maybe that happened below the radar. I don\u2019t know. But to me it\u2019s unnecessary. It\u2019s unnecessary and the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts are not discriminatory.<\/p>\n

See, that\u2019s the claim, “Well if you have a club of nothing but boys what are you saying to our young girls? You\u2019re saying you\u2019re not good enough. You\u2019re saying we don\u2019t want you. You\u2019re saying you\u2019re unwanted. We can\u2019t want that.” And some people buckle to that kind of pressure. If I may extrapolate, that\u2019s another reason why Trump is never going to be abandoned. He does not buckle to this kind of stuff. And Kelly didn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t see Republicans standing up to these people. You tell me another Republican that would stand up and call that whacko congresswoman an open barrel and send her to the Urban Dictionary looking for the definition. Didn\u2019t even know what it was. She had never heard the term. The usual occurrence is that somebody on the left acts outraged and the Republicans immediately, “No, no, no, we\u2019re sorry. No, we didn\u2019t mean it.” And these people in the Trump regime, they\u2019re just standing right up to it. They\u2019re not buckling to any of it or not much that we know of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
