The tiny minority of people are ostensibly, they say, offended by something that you own.  Imagine an agency of the federal government, without any proper adjudication before any sort of court, tribunal, or what have you, just comes along and, on their own whim, decides to eliminate your private property rights.  Because of interpretation of political correctness, because they\u2019re liberals, because they\u2019re statists and authoritarians and assigned to them that kind of sweeping power. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3429\"><img id=\"eZObject_92310\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushSeeIToldYouRedskins.jpg\"\/><\/a>That\u2019s exactly what the Washington Redskins are dealing with today.  The Patent and Trademark Office simply eliminated their right of the Redskins to own that trademark.  It doesn\u2019t mean they have to change their name.  What it means is that if &#8212; and there will be a series of appeals on this.  The Redskins will not go down without a war dance.  After all the appeals, if this ruling holds, it means that anybody can use the Redskins trademark and logo for anything, that the Washington Redskins do not own their name. That\u2019s what this ruling means.  They don\u2019t have the right because some people are offended.  It can be spread around. If you, Snerdley, wanted to start selling caps or T-shirts with the word &#8220;Redskins&#8221; or &#8220;Washington Redskins&#8221; and use their logo, you could, because they don\u2019t have the right to own it, even though they do own it. <\/p>\n<p>Imagine the federal government taking away your health insurance and your doctor.  That\u2019s what millions of Americans are dealing with, many more millions to come.  Imagine the federal government shutting down coal-fired electric plants on a whim in the name of a hoax, global warming.  And as a result, driving up your electricity bills to the point that you have to make life-altering changes in your lifestyle to be able to afford them.  And about that, I want to issue you another warning, ladies and gentlemen. <\/p>\n<p>I remember back in 1997 when the Sierra Club targeted SUVs as main contributors to global warming.  I warned you that there was going to be an all-out assault and increasing amount of momentum aimed at SUVs and their owners and an attempt to stigmatize those people and their vehicles, make them feel guilty and get rid of them.  And people said, &#8220;Come on, Rush, do you see liberals in virtually everything?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;In the political realm, yes.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_92295\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Redskins1.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It didn\u2019t take long before people realized that I was right.  So I\u2019m here to issue you another warning.  I have here in the Stack of Stuff today a story by a similar type of environmentalist wacko group.  They\u2019ve discovered that your cable box is one of the primary biggest users and thus wasters of electricity in the country, and when you combine the hundreds of millions of cable boxes in this country alone, we\u2019re talking about serious global warming.  We\u2019re talking about serious use of the electricity, and if it\u2019s produced by coal, that is bad. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So I am here it tell you, June 18th, keep a sharp eye, because your cable box could well become the next SUV, the next target.  Don\u2019t doubt me.  I\u2019m not making a full-fledged prediction on this right now, just a warning.  Imagine the federal government taking away the country\u2019s borders.  Imagine the federal government just obliterating them.  That\u2019s what the states are battling.  We\u2019re all battling a form of tyranny here.  It\u2019s what happens when the separation of powers concentrates in one branch of the government; there are no checks and balances. <\/p>\n<p>So you go ahead, you cheer, and a lot of people are, you go ahead and cheer the stripping of trademark rights of the Washington Redskins at your own risk.  I know some of you might be saying, &#8220;Well, what about the Florida Seminoles?&#8221;  What about the Runnin\u2019 Rebels?  That\u2019s a team mascot name.  That probably offends a lot of northerners.  The Runnin\u2019 Rebels?  How about the Fighting Irish? <\/p>\n<p>I know what you\u2019re saying, &#8220;Rush, nobody\u2019s complaining about those.&#8221;  That\u2019s right, not yet, is the answer.  You let them get away with this, and this is not the end of anything.  This is not the solution to some cultural problem resulting in the consistent, constant pain of being offended felt by a few people.  This will be the beginning &#8212; I should say, actually, the continuation of even more all-out assaults on private property rights if they offend anybody that\u2019s enshrouded in political correctness, is a leftist or believes it and simply wants to deny you what is yours. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_92300\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaDictatorBurnConstitutionPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So you go ahead, you cheer, if you want, the stripping of trademark rights from the Redskins.  No one is safe when the protections of a constitutional republic are stripped away.  There is no civil society when private property rights and individual rights are crushed at will on a whim by a centralized, coercive government.  You take away private property rights and you may as well take away the right to free speech.  And that\u2019s exactly what has happened here to the Washington Redskins. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>There will be lots of cheering in the news media, in the sports media. Throughout the civil rights coalition there will be all kinds of backslaps and cheers.  And they will not be any happier.  I want you to note that even if this holds up after all the appeals, and if the Redskins just have to sit there and grin and take it while their private property rights are dismantled, the people responsible for it will not be happy.  They never are.  They\u2019ll gloat maybe for a while, but they\u2019ll just be angrier and angrier at those things remaining that offend them and will set out to attack them. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an audio sound bite from CNBC\u2019s Squawk on the Street today, during a report about the patent office canceling the Redskins trademark registration.  This is the cohost Simon Hobbs.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_92301\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/SimonHobbs_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>HOBBS:  There is a question whether federal agencies should have the right to cancel patents that may be valuable to the private sector on a whim. Nobody obviously wants something that\u2019s racist out there, but there is a broader question here of something that is valuable that can be canceled in this way, internally, within a central agency. Surely.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Mr. Hobbs&#8230; Do I detect a British accent?  Am I right, was there a British accent there?  (interruption) Okay.  Mr. Hobbs, this is the norm now.  We are being ruled by whim.  This is what I mean when I say the Obama presidency is not over.  It\u2019s just getting started.  Old Simon Hobbs here is kinda shocked. He can\u2019t believe this happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the private sector. It might be offensive as hell, but you just can\u2019t come out there with something valuable like that. It can\u2019t just be canceled internally within a federal agency. Surely!&#8221; They just did it, Simon.  What you need to note, Simon, is the people who are cheering this. What will happen to the people who decry this is that they are gonna be focused on as racist and sexist, and you know the drill.  What really needs to be focused on is the people who praise this. <\/p>\n<p>The people who approved this, the people who applaud this, they are the ones that we need to note.  They are the people others need to know about.  Snerdley, you and I need to pick some profitable company out there that offends us.  Like Google.  That name just bugs me.  It just offends me.  Google? I\u2019m sure I could find others.  We could steal their trademark.  I mean, if it\u2019s good for the goose, it\u2019s good for the gander.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the way to deal with it, I know, but I\u2019m simply making a point.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  By the way, I want to remind you, ladies and gentlemen, you can go and look it up on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/\/daily\/2014\/01\/09\">Quick Hits page at RushLimbaugh.com<\/a> from January 9th of this year. May I read to you what was posted?  Quote, &#8220;How the Feds Will Go After the Redskins,&#8221; and then the quote from me: &#8220;The way the Feds are going to get the Redskins is the federal trademark office, and I\u2019m gonna spend some time on that today.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I ended up not getting to it that day on January 9th of this year, just back from the traditional two-week break between Christmas and New Year\u2019s.  Kathryn and I sometimes go to Hawaii.  I remember reading show prep and getting ready for the return to action here at the EIB Network, and I came across that while away. I ended up not getting to it, and I\u2019m going to have to track it down now.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_92299\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Redskins3_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>But I just want you to know, and I want it on the record, that we predicted this very thing back on January 9, 2014.  Washington Post today: &#8220;Redskins Patent Office Decision Cheered by Lawmakers as &#8216;Landmark Decision\u2019 &#8212; Lawmakers cheered a decision by the US Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the Washington Redskins trademark registration, saying the ruling should finally convince the National Football League to reverse its decision to stick with the name deemed offensive by Native Americans.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>I want to add one thing here before we get to the NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll.  This is not the Patent and Trademark Office.  This is Barack Obama.  One of the things in reporting out of Washington that has happened during this administration&#8230; This is executive branch.  All this stuff is coming out of the executive branch. All of this, well, tyranny.  It\u2019s all coming from the executive branch, and Obama owns the executive branch. <\/p>\n<p>He is the executive branch.  But yet it\u2019s never reported that way. It\u2019s never, &#8220;The Obama administration today canceled the trademark ownership and registration the Washington Redskins.&#8221; No, it\u2019s the Patent and Trademark Office &#8212; a nameless, faceless bunch of geeks.  Wrong!  Barack Obama\u2019s administration did this.  Barack Obama\u2019s administration lied to you about keeping your doctor. <\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama\u2019s administration has basically erased the Southern border of the United States and is allowing anybody in.  Barack Obama\u2019s administration is doing all of this, and they\u2019re just now getting up to full speed.  It\u2019s not the Patent and Trademark Office.  That\u2019s just the location of the implementation.  The thinking, the intellectual firepower, the desire, the instructions, the orders, the power to do this is coming right out of the White House. <\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake about it.  IRS? Obama!  Not Lois Lerner.  She was just the woman that implemented the desires\/demands that come from the White House.  This is all executive branch stuff, and it\u2019s never reported that way. &#8220;The IRS today said five rogue agents in Cincinnati,&#8221; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.  No.  The White House.  The Obama administration.  In a sense, this is landmark. <\/p>\n<p>Has a name ever been criminalized before?  Have we ever&#8230;? I don\u2019t know.  I\u2019m just asking off the top of my head.  So in that sense, it may be landmark.  But I told you it\u2019s gonna be cheered, and you need to note the people cheering it.  Those people deserve to lose their next election, the people cheering this. This is the simple taking of private property rights without any kind of due process whatsoever. Zilch, zero, nada. <\/p>\n<p>It could be any of us that somebody on the left claims to be offended by.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Just one clarifying thing.  I don\u2019t need to clarify for myself.  I want to clarify your understanding.  The Patent and Trademark Office stripping ownership rights of the trademark Washington Redskins from the Washington Redskins does not require them to change their name.  It just means they are not the legal owners of the trademark.  And if it stands, anybody can market it, anybody can use it, anybody can make money off of it.  Theory being this would hurt the ownership of the Redskins and the NFL.  They don\u2019t have exclusive ownership rights.  They don\u2019t get the profits from the sale of licensed merchandise.  That would force Snyder to change the name.  That\u2019s the thinking. <\/p>\n<p>This is merely step one.  The important point here, the important thing to notice is the utter audacity of the administration simply on a whim utilizing power it does not have, utilizing legal steps it does not have to deny private property rights, on a whim, political correctness.  That\u2019s the thing to note.  They just decided to do it.  And it\u2019s not the Patent and Trademark Office.  It is the Obama administration.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, theoretically we could. We could call ourselves &#8220;the Redskins EIB Network.&#8221;  You know, that\u2019s actually something these people better think about.  Because if they take away the trademark from the Redskins, it means everybody can use it, anybody who wants to.  That means it could be everywhere, which I don\u2019t think is they want.  Actually, you know what?  They don\u2019t care about that. <\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t care if Redskins is everywhere. This is just a power play to take it way from the team.  That\u2019s all this is.  Think about this now.  The Patent and Trademark Office has told the Redskins that they no longer own the trademark.  Now, they gotta go through the appeals process and all of that here.  But they just unilaterally do it, and there is no constitutional authority for this.<\/p>\n<p>But the Obama administration just today told the Washington Redskins they no longer own the trademark because it\u2019s offensive.  Now, what that means in practicality reality is that the Redskins don\u2019t own it and therefore don\u2019t have exclusive rights to it. Anybody can use it, and it would spread like wildfire.  You\u2019d have car washes open: &#8220;Redskins Car Wash!&#8221; You\u2019d have casinos opening up probably called &#8220;Redskins Casino,&#8221; any number of things. <\/p>\n<p>We could call ourselves the EIB Redskins Network.  It would be everywhere.  And you would think, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s not what they want. They want the name taken away, \u2019cause the name\u2019s offensive.&#8221;  No, no, no, no, no, no.  See, this puts this in perspective.  That\u2019s not what this is about at all.  This is not about the name being offensive.  That\u2019s just what\u2019s stated.  Yeah, it might offend a few people, but that\u2019s not what this is about. <\/p>\n<p>This is an abject, total power play.  This is the administration illustrating what it can do.  It simply&#8230; Look, Snyder does not donate to Democrat causes.  He might a little to even it out, but Snyder is known, if anything, as a Republican, and he does position himself very stubbornly. &#8220;I\u2019m never changing this name,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Never.&#8221;  Well, you don\u2019t tell a tyrant &#8220;never.&#8221;  You don\u2019t tell a statist or an authoritarian &#8220;never.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t tell somebody who thinks he has all the power over everybody &#8220;never.&#8221;  So I think this is somewhat personal now, because the end result of this action puts the name &#8220;Redskins&#8221; everywhere, and you would think that\u2019s not what they want.  If you really buy into what they\u2019re doing, you would think they want to wipe out the name so it\u2019s not used by anybody, but this action would result in it everywhere. <\/p>\n<p>So this is nothing more than a classic illustration of who this administration really is.  They\u2019ve targeted an enemy and it happens to be Dan Snyder, and maybe secondarily the NFL.  But it\u2019s Dan Snyder they\u2019re gunning for here, and they\u2019re not gonna stop.  The Regime is not gonna stop until they make him change that name.  It\u2019s just flexing of the muscle.  This is just pure, raw power on display.<\/p>\n<p>The Regime is telling an owner in the NFL, &#8220;Up against me, you are nothing!  Up against me, you are powerless. I don\u2019t care how long it takes, I\u2019m stripping that name.  I don\u2019t like it.  I don\u2019t want you to use it,&#8221; and that\u2019s all this is.  This is window dressing, because it doesn\u2019t offend a majority of people.  I heard it said earlier today by somebody, &#8220;Well, what about Fighting Irish?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The answer to that was, &#8220;Well, nobody is saying it offends them.  So they can keep it.&#8221;  Is it that simple?  I thought it was if it was offensive, if it was insulting, it goes. Even though they gave the name to themselves, it might still offend some people &#8212; and on that basis alone you gotta get rid of it.  But no! And then the person said there has to be momentum.  Clearly sort of a small mind. <\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;There has to be momentum and there isn\u2019t any momentum.  If there\u2019s momentum for the Fighting Irish, you gotta listen to the momentum.&#8221;  So that\u2019s where we are.  You have low-information people who think if there\u2019s &#8216;momentum,\u2019 if there\u2019s an increasing number of people making noise and whatnot, you must change it because they are offended.&#8221; The Irish are white, the Vikings are white and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>But under this guy\u2019s theory if there is all of a sudden &#8220;momentum&#8221; to change Fighting Irish then you\u2019ve gotta change the name. It\u2019s that simple, if people are offended.  That\u2019s one of those things that insults my intelligence, because there\u2019s not a day that somebody isn\u2019t offended about something.  You start making policy based on people being offended (sigh), and you cease to have an orderly society.<\/p>\n<p>You certainly don\u2019t have a democratic republic in any way, shape, manner, or form. <\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t maintain one when it\u2019s as simple as somebody claiming to be offended.  Do we want the weak minded to be in charge of everything?  Do we want guys who take a leak sitting down to be in charge of everything?  Do we?  I don\u2019t think so.  But when you look at it that way, it\u2019s clear what this really is, and it isn\u2019t about getting rid of the name Redskins &#8212; \u2019cause if they succeed in this, it\u2019s gonna be everywhere.  This is just about taking it away from Dan Snyder.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want you to imagine the federal government eliminating your private property rights due to the interpretation of political correctness by five people, or a very tiny minority of people.
