\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s Alex in Broomfield, Colorado. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Greetings, Mr. Limbaugh. Hillsdale dittos to you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hillsdale! Hillsdale College<\/a>, is that what you\u2019re referring to?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir, I will be a senior at Hillsdale in the fall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, one thing we know, we are talking to a student who will soon be, if not is, an expert on the US Constitution. It\u2019s required to get out of Hillsdale. Congratulations for getting into the place. That\u2019s really great. I\u2019m glad that you got through here today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much. I love the place. The reason for my call today, I\u2019m calling about US Congressman Jared Polis. He\u2019s calling for an internal investigation of a charter school in Colorado after the charter school declined to allow the valedictorian to give the commencement address, and they said it was because of a number of inappropriate comments which were inappropriate for the venue, and among those comments the student comes out as homosexual. Now we have a US congressman overstepping his own authority, calling for investigation of a charter school.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. You\u2019re not surprised, are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not really. It\u2019s quite incredible, the steps these groups go through to bully, intimidate, and threaten.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Bully” is exactly the right word. So what you need to suggest — now, you\u2019re not there at the school anymore?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, sir. Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know anybody at the school?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Say that again?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know anybody at this school?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do know a few people at the school.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It would be great if somebody — are any of the other students gonna speak, do you know?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Speak in terms of like speaking out in a commencement address?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I mean, they want the valedictorian to speak, right, and you said what the valedictorian wants to do is come out as gay, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct. They got two groups in Boulder, and they opened up a private venue for the students, and then he was able to give his commencement address to a private audience at a fundraising event, and that\u2019s been all over the news for the last few days.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because the school, the charter school said no, you can\u2019t, we don\u2019t want you making statements like that during our commencement festivities, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They said it\u2019s inappropriate. You\u2019re addressing your graduating class, it\u2019s more than just about you. You\u2019re trying to talk to every single senior that\u2019s worked through that high school, and you\u2019re trying to, you know, give them advice and encouragement for going out into the future. It\u2019s not supposed to be an individualistic event just for the valedictorian.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Well, the school happens to be exactly right, but that is totally unacceptable to the architects of the leftist agenda today. The valedictorian speech is an opportunity to spread the cause or to spread the word and promote the cause, and, by definition, to distort the purpose of the actual comment. What I was thinking is, get another student to also make remarks and come out as straight.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s exactly what we said, and that\u2019s why the opening of your show was brilliant, because it went along just with it. And no, if the valedictorian was to say, “You know, I\u2019ve been gay my entire life and now I\u2019m gonna come out as straight,” this school would not allow that. They say it\u2019s inappropriate for the venue. You\u2019re supposed to be addressing your graduating class.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that happens to be true. It isn\u2019t about the valedictorian. It\u2019s about the entire class and it\u2019s supposed to be motivational and inspirational and so forth. But, you know, that\u2019s old-fashioned thinking. These people are members of oppressed minority groups, Alex, and as members of oppressed minority groups, they are free to do and say and act however they want because they have been so held back, they have been so stomped on, they have been so discriminated against that when they finally get the chance to speak out they damn well should. That is the attitude.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s something we study at Hillsdale, that one of the fundamental things in the Declaration of Independence, you have life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. And the foundation of liberty is the freedom to think, the freedom of your mind, and that\u2019s what they want to oppress. They want to be the thought police, not even let you think that you\u2019re gonna act against their own agenda.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s exactly right. You\u2019re going to a great school. I tell you, it\u2019s not easy to get into Hillsdale, and it\u2019s not easy to get out of there, either. I mean, it\u2019s not easy to graduate with a decent GPA. You\u2019re in a great place, and I can tell they\u2019re teaching critical thinking. It stands out. It\u2019s just opposite when you listen to Alex that he\u2019s able to think on his own. He\u2019s not robotic. He hasn\u2019t been programmed. He hasn\u2019t been in any way indoctrinated. He\u2019s actually speaking on his own, using critical thinking. Which used to be what college was all about, to develop that, but now it\u2019s about suppression. Now it\u2019s about molding people, making everybody the same and turning them into little bots, if you will, little robots. The leftist army.<\/p>\n

Does anybody watch Game of Thrones? Did you see Sunday night\u2019s episode, the last 20 minutes? One of the greatest 20 minutes on TV in terms of production value and scene structure and everything, the Wildings, the White Walkers and the Wildings finally had their big battle, and the White Walkers are the dead. The Game of Thrones version of zombies, except they\u2019re skeletons. Even the horses they ride are practically skeletons, and you can\u2019t beat \u2019em. They can jump off of 15,000-foot cliffs and survive. <\/line><\/p>\n

Everybody that\u2019s killed in the battle, the big White Walker guy comes up and raises his arms and turns them all back to life as White Walkers, the walking dead, and you can\u2019t kill them, you can\u2019t beat them, except with dragonglass. The dragonglass sword is the one thing that can wipe out a White Walker. But they\u2019re bots, they\u2019re robots, they\u2019re clearly just an army. And that\u2019s what the left is creating. All these colleges all over the country, a massive — you know, and I point this out because, folks, you people in this audience, for as long as this program has been around, going back to 1988, you have been accused of being mind-numbed robots, and I have been accused of being your Svengali. <\/p>\n

Until I came along, you didn\u2019t know anything, you didn\u2019t think anything. But somehow I came along and I was able to play the Stradivarius of the voice and I was able to mold you and shape you into anything I wanted you to be. And I was able to inspire you to act in ways I wanted you to act and vote in ways I wanted you to vote. Prior to me, you were fine, nobody knew who you were. You were living nondescript, practically invisible lives working at the hardware store, then I come along, and all of a sudden you become political activists. But you\u2019re not independent thinkers, you are mind-numbed robots because I am your pied piper. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they\u2019ve always tried to claim in a dramatic insult, not just to me, but to you primarily is where the insult is aimed. And, in fact, the mind-numbed robots in America today are the children of the left. In fact, I would go even further, and if you would say this about the kids of the sixties, the students of the sixties, it\u2019d be a profound insult, and it was true then, and it\u2019s true now, even truer now. They are obedient. They aren\u2019t rebels. They aren\u2019t risk-takers. You know, they think of the SDF students, student Democrat society, Chicago, all these anti-war protesters of the sixties, they thought they were avant-garde and cutting edge. They were obedient. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re being obedient to the people teaching them in these universities. Obedient to their leftist parents. I\u2019ll never forget, Midge Decter made this point. When I first heard her make this point she was a guest I think on Firing Line with Bill Buckley. Obedient is the last thing I would have ever associated with sixties anti-war protesters, with people blowing up bank buildings and so forth, conducting whatever they did, protests, violent, nonviolent, the whole ball of wax. She\u2019s on firing line referring them as obedient and I had the chance to meet her some years after I saw that, and I asked her when she meant, she explained it. She\u2019s exactly right, and the left, college students today, they\u2019re little pups. <\/p>\n

They think they\u2019re brilliant. They think they\u2019re independent thinkers. They think that they\u2019re a cut above everybody, and they\u2019re not. They are literal mind numbed robots. That\u2019s exactly who they are. They\u2019re all the same. They think the same. They say the same things. They act the same things. They hang around people that do the same and say the same and act the same. They are obedient. And when I watched Game of Thrones and I watched the White Walker army jumping off the cliff 20,000 feet, 10 thousand, I mean, just literally running. They were unafraid, they just ran, whatever their leader told them to do, they did it. And I thought, my God, I\u2019m looking at the college campus today. I\u2019m looking at college students, same thing, except these people were dead. <\/p>\n

You could argue that many of today\u2019s students are brain-dead. They just blindly, obediently accept all of this gunk that they\u2019re taught. But you can hear the guy from Hillsdale College is able to articulate everything about whatever he cares about on his own and make it sound unique and individual to him, able to cite the Constitution. It\u2019s just great. Such a great school. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
