<\/p>\nRUSH: Gainesville, Florida, next. Patrick, I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s a privilege to speak with you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much. Great to have with us, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Well, I\u2019m sorry to have to disagree with you, but on your point about the radical Democrats, I think that they have morphed into Ralph Nader\u2019s Green Party from 1992. And also I know you spend a lot of time thinking about our younger generation, why are they so radical, and I think I have a way to assist them to get back to what\u2019s important for our country.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, okay. Since it\u2019s Open Line Friday, I\u2019ll bite on how you think you can save the Millennials. What would that be?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, having gone into the military right out of high school, it is, what I believe, an institution that functions just like a communist-run country. It\u2019s a great institution in our country, if needed, but it helped me to appreciate freedom. I did not have any way to determine where I was going, what I was doing, and for how long. And I think our younger generation has parents that are —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, wait a minute. You didn\u2019t really mean that to sound like — you called the U.S. military a great communist type organization that limits freedom and therefore it is educational for people in teaching them this is not what we want. That\u2019s your take, right? That\u2019s pretty much what you\u2019re —<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, well, thanks for letting me clarify. No. I\u2019d just say that the military is great. I loved it. But at the same time, I realized how much I appreciated having freedom, having my own say. And that\u2019s why I got out. But I don\u2019t believe that there\u2019s so many people in our country that haven\u2019t had that experience, and they don\u2019t appreciate freedom. And some people love that —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s true. But that\u2019s not exclusive to young whippersnappers. That is a function of being born into it and never having had to fight for it. And that happens for all of us. This is why I have been so focused on people learning the founding, who those people were, what they did. It\u2019s so special. It is so unique. It is a testament to every positive human characteristic God planted in us.<\/p>\n
The American founding has everything. If you can teach the awe, if you can create the awe and the reverence for what happened — why do you think the Democrats are trying to make people think it was nothing but a bunch of white racists establishing a white nationalist country? They are totally lying and distorting the founding of the country precisely because of how special and unique it is and how everything in it destroys the concept of liberalism and communism and socialism.<\/p>\n
It was the first country not to incorporate any kind of monarchy or dictatorship or tyrannical ruler of whatever stripe you want to call it. The first country ever organized with the essence of the freedom of the individual as the primary organizing influence.<\/p>\n
Now, your point about the military. People have made it for as long as I\u2019ve been alive that if you have an out-of-control kid that you have failed to discipline, get \u2019em in the military or send \u2019em to a military academy, military school and teach them discipline because there\u2019s nothing else that can happen there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now, you\u2019re right. I know what you\u2019re trying to say by claiming the military denies you the freedom to move about and do what you want and go where you want, and that\u2019s a great way to teach communism. But the military is not communist. The military is teaching loyalty. The military depends on loyalty and hierarchy. And it depends on an organized structure of people accepting orders and following them for a specific objective.<\/p>\n
The military\u2019s not attempting to take over the world. The military\u2019s not attempting to take over the country. The military is defending and protecting the country. And it takes a system and order and organization for this to happen, of people understanding their jobs and doing them and not complaining about it. Malcontents are not permitted. They\u2019re tossed out, they\u2019re put in the brig, or what have you.<\/p>\n
Now, in terms of somehow trying to instill the value of freedom in people who take it for granted, that\u2019s a tough thing to do when you\u2019re born to it, when it\u2019s all you know, and you\u2019ve been listening to your teachers tell you how rotten the country is, you\u2019re not gonna value it as much.<\/p>\n
So I understand the challenge here, but that\u2019s why teaching the founding, to me — I mean, everything about it that people of a certain age, whatever grade,, can learn. Everything they\u2019re capable of learning, it should be taught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
