LIBERALS SEEK TO UNDO AMERICAN GREATNESS.

Rush Limbaugh read and reacted to a stupid USA Today column.

The fact that this country established and acknowledged by virtue of our holy creation that we have certain inalienable rights, which means they can’t be taken away by anybody. That’s what “inalienable” means. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, those three things were acknowledged to be the natural state of the human being in the United States and everywhere. Never before in history had that been done.

Most people in this world from the beginning of time have lived under tyranny, have lived under bondage, have lived under dictatorship, have lived in poverty, have never known the standard of living this country made possible. The greatness of this country’s not a myth. The greatness of this country is very specific. There are specific reasons, specific explanations for it. It’s just heartbreaking that they haven’t been taught in almost 50 years.

We’ve lost two generations to the public education system, which then enables some dummkopf like this guy to write a piece saying America’s national greatness myths are shattering. Should they survive, can they survive? Here’s the subhead. “Rather than restore some idealized, jingoistic version of who we are, let’s use this painful moment of self-doubt to remake the reality of America.”

Speak for yourself, buddy. We who love this country have zero self-doubt about it. None. “Let’s use this painful moment of self-doubt to remake the reality -” how about we use this painful moment of self-doubt to vanquish the American left, to vanquish communism and socialism, which has never worked anywhere? How about we use this painful moment to teach more and more Americans the truth about their great and wonderful and God-blessed country?

That's Rush being Rush, last July, when Our Intellectual Betters told us that we shouldn't be gathering for Independence Day, let alone enjoying fireworks, but that it was permissible to balance getting the Wuhan coronavirus against standing up against overzealous law enforcement by destroying neighborhoods.

Note particularly that second paragraph.  It's the message of the Midnight Economist, adapted to the Framers' political philosophy.
