Let me pick apart something else from yesterday's show.
Rush zeroed in on Al Sharpton and Charlie Rose, who were discussing getting rid of statues and monuments to great Americans like Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee because they owned Slaves. Rush made it clear that American history cannot be changed, that Sharpton has no right to be personally affronted and that even if you got rid of statues and re-named streets and highways, nothing changes. He even asked "How would your life be improved by these changes? HOW?" (paraphrase)
Sharpton's argument was that slaves had no basic right to even marry, and were forced to have sex with their Masters. Why should taxpayer money be used to subsidize such things as a statue for a founding father who owned slaves? I understand Rush's point. But Sharpton's point is a moral question. Rush doesn't like Morality. Morality rubs El Rushbo the wrong way.
What's more important, Rush? If you have a statue of a man who represents American History but also has some shady aspects to his past, is he really worthy of a statue? Where do you draw the line for such things? As a white, you might not care. As a black, you might REALLY FUCKING CARE, you dig? Being indifferent is OK for Americans. But that's not possible for African-Americans. Oh No. They have a very particular way to look at it, and white America should be conscious of it. Charlie Rose saw the logic of what Sharpton was saying and Rush insulted him, sneered at him: "Charlie, who are you trying to Impress??"
He's not trying to impress anyone, Rushie. He's showing a sensitive ear to the issue, which you are incapable of.
Rush barked about how when all the statues are removed and all the highways re-named what will change? Will the Left still be happy? LOL He's hilarious. YES! We would be happy Rush! Because then Political Correctness would be just that: CORRECT.
Don't erect statues to questionable figures. Seems Logical, No? Really VET that process. No one complains about the Lincoln Memorial, do they? And for good reason. The memorial matched the man. Rush himself had public protests and petitions to "FLUSH RUSH!" when he got a bronze bust of himself in the Hall of famous Missourians. He knows ALL ABOUT statues not being worthy of their recipients, don't ya, Big Guy?
Al Sharpton isn't a guy I really like, but he had a point. Rush hates it when blacks have a point. Ooh does that bug him! LOL
