JASON: The 1619 Project used by schools… Isn\u2019t it amazing the cooperation they do? So you\u2019ve got the CDC coordinating with the teachers union. You have the New York Times\u2019 1619 coordinating with K through 12. You have the media coordinating with Big Tech. And you have these tax-exempt groups coordinating with the Democrat Party. That is what I\u2019m talking about when I say institutional liberalism or when I say this gaslighting — collective gaslighting — that\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

Nothing could be a greater lie than the idea that our constitution is fundamentally racist or our constitution is fundamentally anti-equality. Nothing could be a greater lie than that. We are the only country on the face of the earth that has ever looked at its wrongs and righted them, and it started right at the beginning, contrary to Howard Zinn and the 1619 Project. (impression) “The Constitution is a white man\u2019s racist document!” Really?<\/p>\n

Well, the Constitution banned the importation of any further slaves in 1808. The Northwest Ordinance passed the year the Constitution was ratified banned slavery. The three-fifths clause… You heard this a thousand times. Oh, three-fifths clause didn\u2019t count slaves as whole persons. No, but 8% of the African-American population was free, and they were counted as whole people. Why is that?<\/p>\n

\"\"Because the South wanted to count the slaves to empower their apportionment. It was abolitionists and anti-slavery forces who said, “No. If we count everybody then you\u2019re gonna have more power and keep slavery more potent,” and finally, “Oh, how did they…? How come they didn\u2019t just outright ban slavery in the South at the time of the ratification?”<\/p>\n

Because the southern Confederacy wouldn\u2019t have joined. They would have established their own country and you would have never ended slavery. Sixty-thousand Americans died to fulfill our commitment towards equal protection under the law in the Civil War. That\u2019s what America did. That\u2019s the true reparations. No country has done that.<\/p>\n

Rush talked about this not long ago. Audio clip number 9.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The New York Times announced that there is no more journalism in the New York Times. There is simply agenda orientation and narrative advancement. And the New York Times has decided that America was not officially founded in 1776. And the Revolutionary War had nothing to do with America\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

America was actually founded in 1619. And, by the way, we\u2019re coming up on the 400-year anniversary, you see. And what happened in 1619 is the first African slaves arrived for sale in what is now Virginia. And so the New York Times and their new premise, their new narrative is that the United States is a gigantic fraud. That the real story of the United States that\u2019s taught is bogus. That America\u2019s true past is one of immorality, injustice, racism, bigotry, homophobia.<\/p>\n

The premise is that everything great about America, American exceptionalism, all of America\u2019s great achievements are essentially illegitimate because they would not have happened without slavery.<\/p>\n

And, therefore, everything about the United States is illegitimate. I made a big deal about it because it was a giant See, I Told You So. This has been a message I have been conveying to you in this audience for years about the left\u2019s true intent. The transformation of America as Obama described it, the eight years of Obama were indeed a plan designed to make Americans believe that the greatness of America was not justified, that it was indefensible, that all of the great economic prosperity the American people have enjoyed was not really legitimate because it was so ill-gotten in so many ways.<\/p>\n

So the Obama people came up with this new term “the new normal.” “The new normal” is a steady declining economy that needs to be expertly managed, that Americans\u2019 expectations need to be lowered, that the central ingredient of the American dream, that children will do better than their parents, is over.<\/p>\n
