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

RUSH: Judy in Delaware, Ohio. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. I\u2019m a first-time caller. I enjoy your show very much. My point is all the optics and everything around this, Ohio has early absentee balloting starting next Tuesday, September the 30th. We don\u2019t wait \u2019til November the 4th to elect. We have five weeks of voting before that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s my comment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s to afford a greater opportunity to cheat and engage in fraud, and it\u2019s a way for the Democrats to find out what they need when Election Day comes —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: — where they need the votes from, and how they\u2019re gonna get \u2019em, and so forth, or if they do. Yeah, this early voting, that\u2019s a whole other subject. But that\u2019s, to me, an open invitation for fraud.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. But we have all of this now on our plate, you know?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, so your point is —<\/p>\n

CALLER: All the optics, the imagery and everything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Your point is that all this imagery and the optics are going to influence the way people vote if they vote early, before we even really know whether this thing is successful or not, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. You\u2019re right on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s only because you explained it so well. I was able to follow you and understand. You did a great job, a great job explaining your point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I and my grandkids are looking very much forward to another chapter of Rush Revere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeees.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh-ho, cool! Well, you know, I can\u2019t… Every day… There\u2019s a story in the Stack today,<\/a> I wasn\u2019t gonna mention this, now —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no! No, no. No, no. It\u2019s good. I\u2019m glad you did. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a story in the Stack. Denver, students in Denver… I\u2019ve got so many damn Stacks, I can\u2019t keep track of what I\u2019ve got anymore. Students in Denver are protesting that they\u2019re being taught capitalism and free markets. They\u2019re literally protesting and walking out of class! They\u2019re fed up that they\u2019re being “propagandized,” they say, with pro-America themes, in Denver! I shouldn\u2019t say “in Denver!” I should say “in Denver” as though it would be expected. <\/line><\/p>\n

But I saw the story today and I said, “This is why. It\u2019s exactly why there is a Rush Revere time-travel adventure series.” Anyway, yeah. Judy, I really appreciate you saying so and that you\u2019re expressing hope that there will be another chapter. Be confident. You can allow your hope to become ontological certitude, but I can\u2019t say any more for just a little while. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But I can tell you this: It\u2019s so good!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I shouldn\u2019t say this, but, “Oh, it\u2019s so good!” I\u2019m chomping at the bit. But I can\u2019t wait. Just hang in there, be cool and be patient. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Denver school students,” we\u2019re talking junior high and high school, “walked out of school in protest over the curriculum teaching free-market capitalism and respect for authority.”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s an AP story out of Arvada, Colorado. “Hundreds of students walked out of classrooms around suburban Denver on Tuesday in protest over a conservative-led school board proposal to focus history education on topics that promote citizenship, patriotism and respect for authority, providing a show of civil disobedience that the new standards would aim to downplay.” And of course the AP just loves reporting this. Oh, man, you can just see AP salivating here. <\/p>\n

“The youth protest in the state\u2019s second-largest school district follows a sick-out from teachers that shut down two high schools in the politically and economically diverse area that has become a key political battleground. Student participants said their demonstration was organized by word of mouth and social media. Many waved American flags and carried signs, including messages that read ‘There is nothing more patriotic than protest.\u2019 ‘I don\u2019t think my education should be censored. We should be able to know what happened in our past,\u2019 said Tori Leu, a 17-year-old student who protested at Ralston Valley High School in Arvada.<\/p>\n

“The school board proposal that triggered the walkout calls of instructional materials that present positive aspects of the nation and its heritage. It would establish a committee to regularly review texts and course plans, starting with Advanced Placement history, to make sure materials ‘promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights\u2019 and don\u2019t ‘encourage or condone civil disorder, social strike or disregard of the law.'”<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, I can remember, honestly can, I can remember a time where you wouldn\u2019t have to state that that was the curriculum or part of it. It was just assumed that you would teach the truth of American history. That you would teach being proud of your country. That you would teach patriotism. That you would teach the benefits of the free market system, which is how every one of you little skulls full of mush is gonna make something of yourself someday. <\/p>\n

The free market system is where they hand out chances for success, by the way. There isn\u2019t a socialist system out there that hands out chances for success unless you happen to be one of the precious very few in leadership positions in socialism, and they don\u2019t pass out chances for success. What they do is give you dibs on other people\u2019s money that you can take and use as your own. It\u2019s called taxes. <\/p>\n

So the students protested and walked out of classrooms in protest over this proposal to focus history education on citizenship, patriotism, and free market systems, capitalism, if you will. The students walked out. Now, they have a right to walk out, I guess. That\u2019s what everybody says. “Well, you certainly have that right.” I\u2019m not interested in that. What interests me in this is what are these kids learning at home? And it\u2019s patently obvious, isn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n

But at the same time we\u2019ve got a poll here that 72% of the American people think that we\u2019re still in a recession, and they\u2019re ticked off because they don\u2019t think they have an equal chance at success. Here we have a bunch of students walking out because they don\u2019t want to be taught about the benefits of the free market system. And they apparently don\u2019t want to be taught patriotism, citizenship, and the truth of American history. They want to learn protest. They want to learn human rights. They want to learn socialism. They want to learn all these other things that are contraindicated by our own Constitution and national history. <\/p>\n

Folks, look, this is exactly why the idea that my wife had that I should write children\u2019s books on American history, the truth of American history, this is exactly why it appealed to me. This is exactly why. This is just one of many examples, but this perhaps may be one of the most blatant examples of this that I\u2019ve run across in a while. “The proposal from Julie Williams, part of the board\u2019s conservative majority, has not been voted on and was put on hold last week. She didn\u2019t return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment.” Probably because she knows it\u2019ll be distorted, taken out of context, and misused. <\/p>\n

She “previously told Chalkbeat Colorado, a school news website, that she recognizes there are negative events that are part of US history that need to be taught. ‘There are things we may not be proud of as Americans,\u2019 she said. ‘But we shouldn\u2019t be encouraging our kids to think that America is a bad place.'” Exactly, and that\u2019s precisely what the left is doing!<\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how we ended up electing a guy who even today, at his speech to the UN, apologized to those thugs and dictators in the audience over what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. Did you know that? You know, Obama\u2019s up there; he\u2019s lecturing everybody on human rights and civil rights and how we gotta do this right and we gotta do that right — we gotta be nice here, nice there — and then he said, “Now, look.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got our own problems here. You saw it! You saw it in Ferguson, a small town in Missouri.” He\u2019s essentially saying, “Look, I\u2019m gonna preach to you even though I don\u2019t have the moral authority. I don\u2019t have the moral authority because my own country sucks, but I\u2019m still gonna tell you what I think we ought to do.” He just undercuts his own message. <\/p>\n

There is a pent-up, fervent desire by people on the left to impugn this country and its founding and its history to as many young skulls full of mush as possible. You know, the truth of American history, I got that covered with the books. I\u2019m cool. But this business of telling young people…? Sorry. This instance of having young people protest and walk out of school because they don\u2019t want to learn about economic freedom?<\/p>\n

That is a concern. <\/p>\n

They all want to be successful. I guaran-damn-tee you they do, and probably a lot of these kids are gonna be future people running around asking, “What happened to my chance for success? There\u2019s an unequal chance for success.” Well, yeah, you rejected learning about it when you were in school in Colorado, because the capitalist system is where the chance for success is, and it\u2019s where it\u2019s passed out!<\/p>\n

The free market system is where you find opportunity. The free market system is where you find opportunity to innovate, to create, to invent, to succeed. That\u2019s where it lives. And now we get kids arriving at school suspicious of it, hating it, and I guarantee you they\u2019re being lied to about it by their parents or whoever. A casual glance at the history of the world… I mentioned this stat to you yesterday. It\u2019s a stunning stat. <\/p>\n

Fifty percent of the world\u2019s wealth has been created by United States. Now, people like this think it\u2019s been stolen. They don\u2019t think we\u2019ve created anything. We\u2019ve stolen it. We\u2019ve engaged in wars for oil, and we\u2019ve conquered countries and we\u2019ve stolen their stuff and we brought it back and we\u2019ve used it and then given it to the Koch brothers — and before that we gave it to Halliburton, and before that we gave it to Exxon. <\/p>\n

Yeah, so now these kids are running around saying, “Okay, where do I go for my chance of success?” I\u2019ll tell you what: When you find the guy in your town that\u2019s responsible for gasoline prices, that\u2019s the guy you go to for your chance for success. But how silly is that? I mean people think that there\u2019s a single person in charge of gasoline prices. They\u2019ve been made to believe that. (interruption) Oh, they\u2019ll come around.<\/p>\n

Snerdley said, “These kids have been brainwashed this early. What are the chances of them coming around?” I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s 50-50. There\u2019s a chance they\u2019ll come around. Some do; some don\u2019t. Sometimes people in the clutches of the left end up being strangled and smothered and they just sit there and live their lives underneath the pillow.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re looking at life through a fog filled with resentment at all the success they see, thinking that everybody that\u2019s enjoying success is somehow cheating somebody else, which leads to a very bad outlook. It leads to that lack of appreciation, acknowledgement, respect, for the things people do to become successful. On that, an obscene profit break. I think it\u2019s appropriate. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
