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

RUSH: Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, we had polling data<\/a>, survey data from something called the Public Religion Research Institute. The data we had yesterday: 73% of Americans think that they don\u2019t have a chance to have success as their parents did, and I think that was the survey in which people said that they had missed out on the chance for success. <\/p>\n

I forgot how it was worded, but I remember my reaction was, “Where do you go to have the chance for success passed out to you?” Well, there\u2019s more. “A new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute shows that 55% Americans say the American dream never ever existed in the first place or that it did exist but doesn\u2019t anymore.” Now, stop and think about that for just a second.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s responsible for people believing this? A, it\u2019s a reflection of their reality. They\u2019re living it, number one. But they\u2019re also being told this. But who\u2019s responsible for both? They\u2019re living in a hogwash economy. They\u2019re living in an ongoing recession. There hasn\u2019t been any recovery. Now, the economists might trying to tell us that statistically the recession ended in June of 2009. <\/line><\/p>\n

But in the real world, it hasn\u2019t ended. People continue to drop out of the workforce, and people continue to drop out of the universe of people trying to find a job. The number of people not working, the labor force participation rate is at an all-time high. It\u2019s 93 million Americans and climbing. Because of Obamacare — again, thank you Democrat Party — employers are reducing work hours to 30 max, so that they don\u2019t have to provide coverage. <\/p>\n

This was a slam dunk. You could see this coming the moment you saw that in the Obamacare legislation. It\u2019s another one of these unintended consequences. Democrats write laws and think everybody\u2019s just a bunch of sheep and is going to abide by them rather than realizing that clever people are gonna find ways around it. But this is pretty sad, that 55% of the American people say the American dream never existed.<\/p>\n

It was a myth, or it did exist but doesn\u2019t anymore. The concept of the American dream used to be the defining characteristic of this country. It used to be the objective, reaching the American dream, however people defined it. It used to be defined as owning a house, which works because that equals a certain degree of economic success and security. But these kinds of attitudes become self-fulfilling. <\/p>\n

These kinds of attitudes here are shrouded in pessimism, negativity, reluctance, giving up. “If it doesn\u2019t exist, why pursue it? If it never did exist, why be a fool and pretend that it did and try to find it now, if it didn\u2019t exist?” Now, I maintain to you that there\u2019s a political party that benefits from these attitudes. There\u2019s a political party that benefits from people thinking there is no American dream.<\/p>\n

They still have to eat. They still have to have shelter. So if you\u2019ve got a political party that\u2019s gonna blame these attitudes and these economic circumstances on a presidency that hasn\u2019t been around for six years, and if you\u2019re gonna say, “Yeah, that\u2019s right! The prosperous America you\u2019ve heard about, that was temporary, that was an aberration. This is what it should have been all along.” <\/p>\n

The Reagan years kind of skewed everything in an artificial way, they want you to believe. “The poll shows just 42% of Americans cling to the notion of the American Dream — loosely defined as people who work hard being able to get ahead.” Think of that. That\u2019s dead. Fifty-five percent of people think that the concept of working hard and getting ahead doesn\u2019t seem to be real anymore. <\/p>\n

Now, this number, this 42% of Americans thinking the American dream still exists, that\u2019s the lowest percentage since the question has been asked. This poll only goes back to 2010. So it\u2019s not a big shift in just three years because Obama\u2019s been around for six, and this attitude has been inculcated almost from the get-go. “A CNN\/Opinion Research poll in June showed 59% of Americans said the American dream was unachievable.” <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not just this poll. There are a bunch of others. And then, before you conclude… If some of you out there think, “I know why this is. This is just Republicans mad at Obama.” No, it\u2019s not. “Republicans, by 55%, are far more likely to believe in the American dream than Democrats, which come in 33%.” Only 33% of Democrats believe in the American dream. Stop and think of that, too. <\/p>\n

What do they believe? <\/p>\n

Who are they loyal to? <\/p>\n

What do they listen to and support and vote for? <\/p>\n

The drivel that comes out of the mouths of Democrats! And look what it gets \u2019em. Futility. Worthlessness. Depressed. Fifty-five percent of Republicans are likely to believe, or do likely believe the American dream still exists. <\/p>\n

I have a sound bite I wanted to play when I had the guy on from Denver who was being very, very nice about the Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans history series. CBS today. Remember the story we had yesterday about the kids protesting at Jefferson County, Colorado?<\/p>\n

The school board curriculum changed, and they didn\u2019t want to be taught capitalism. Well, here we have Stephanie Ross. Stephanie Ross is a Wheat Ridge High School history teacher from that district on CBS This Morning.<\/line><\/p>\n

ROSS: If we can\u2019t talk about the struggles that people go through in history to gain a greater equality, a greater America, how can we convey a true story and convey a complete picture to our students?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a history teacher. This is a history teacher, and she is proud of the fact that her students want to eschew capitalism and instead think that America\u2019s greatness is about diversity, and that\u2019s what they want to be taught. Let me ask you a quick question: Is the story of America the struggle for equality? Is that what you think the story of America is? <\/p>\n

She says here, “If we can\u2019t talk about the struggles that people go through in history to gain a greater equality, how can we convey a true story and convey a complete picture to our students?” Has that been the story of America? (interruption) The story of America is the struggle for equality. What do you think about? Is that what our story is? Is that what the founding of America was about, the struggle for equality? <\/p>\n

Think about it for just a second. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The struggle for America. The story of America is not the struggle for equality. That was, for lack of a better word, acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence. And the Constitution, in its own way, dealt with the premise in several of the Bill of Rights. The story of America is the struggle for freedom, ladies and gentlemen. Not equality, not fairness, not diversity, not all of these things that modern liberal high school and middle school teachers think are important. <\/p>\n

America is diverse in more ways than most other countries could be trying to be. There already is more equality in premise alone in this country than most human beings have ever known. The story of America is the struggle of freedom from a controlling, dictatorial, statist, tyrannical central government or power. That is the story of this country. That is the story that sets this country apart from every other country. <\/p>\n

The struggle for equality is a subset, if anything, to the principle of freedom. There can be no equality and there can be no diversity and there can be no fairness unless there is freedom. Freedom is what this country was all about. Freedom for average, ordinary, common, everyday people. Common, ordinary, everyday people were the stars in this country. Not the leaders. Not the elected officials. <\/p>\n

This country was founded on the premise that all men are created equal. Certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, pursuit of happiness; that\u2019s all in the Declaration of Independence. Why were we separating from the tyranny of Britain? Freedom. Because it was assumed, it was proclaimed that freedom is instilled in every human being by virtue of creation by God and that it is man, men, women, whoever, who attempt to deny that freedom from average, ordinary, everyday, call \u2019em whatever you want, people. And the Founders had had enough of it. They had studied immensely the history of the world up to their point in time. They had found the horror stories and what they thought were the recipes, and that became the United States of America. <\/line><\/p>\n

For the first time in the history of the world — and this is the true American exceptionalism — for the first time in the history of the world, a country was founded on the premise that its people run the show and that its government is subservient to the people. That the people are governed and lead lives according to the natural-born freedom they had. The reason why it\u2019s a struggle is because up until that time, and since that time in other parts of the world, the history of humanity has been tyranny. <\/p>\n

The history of humanity has been bondage, in some cases, torture, tyranny, no economic freedom. The history of the world has been the subjugation, the subordination of individuals to government, dictatorial control. That\u2019s the story of America. But apparently out in Denver, Colorado, and I\u2019m sure other places, young, hip liberal teachers are inculcating young skulls full of mush with the idea that this country is flawed, this country denies equality to people and freedom and fairness and what have you. Because that\u2019s what they\u2019ve been taught when they went to college to learn how to be teachers. <\/line><\/p>\n

That bogus premise of the purpose of this country and the history of this country has just been recycled over and over again, generation after generation, to now where it is the dominant view in American education. Hence, my friends, this is why the idea of writing these books was so appealing to me, to try to get the truth, the simple, honest truth. It\u2019s a great, great story. It\u2019s a spine tingling story. <\/p>\n

Even today in 2014, the concept of individual human freedom is still a rarity. It\u2019s why this is the one place on the planet, if people want to go somewhere, it\u2019s here. And it\u2019s for that reason. They\u2019re not trying to cheat Customs, ICE. They\u2019re not trying to cross borders here for equality, and they\u2019re not trying to get here \u2019cause they want to be part of a great experiment on diversity. They want to get here because they want to be free, especially those coming from places where it has never existed. <\/p>\n

I know, I know, others are coming here to get in on the benefits. I acknowledge that. But I\u2019m talking about the purists. They say we\u2019re a nation of immigrants, and we are. The genuine period of immigration which did build this country, that\u2019s why they came. And that\u2019s been the story. Everything else that these teachers, what did she say? “If we can\u2019t talk about the struggles that people go through in history to gain a greater equality.” Braveheart. Equality, is that what he was after? I don\u2019t think so. That came later. You can\u2019t have equality or fairness or diversity unless you first have a giant umbrella under which everybody is free. And then you can go about playing around, making messes with what it all means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
