Rush Invited Leftists to Join Us in Celebrating Independence

BUCK: Let’s also bring back a voice here that can shed light on Independence Day, and the reason to celebrate it for all. That’s right. Rush Limbaugh, back on July 3rd, 2019.

RUSH: This goes back I forget how many years, but it’s recent, like in the last 10 years. This is a Harvard survey. They found that images, patriotic images — of, say, the American flag, fireworks, this kind of thing — the visual images, the graphics that are associated with patriotism remind people of Republicans. They promote Republican Party values — or, in this case, conservative values.

That’s what this is about.

The Democrats know full well when people are exposed to American symbols and patriotic displays and songs, their political leaning moves to the right! Shortly after that study was made known, that’s when we became engulfed in this Kaepernick crap, the tearing down of our history. That’s called “art” and “free expression.” We had to topple statues, had to get rid of the flag. We now know this thing going on with Nike. This stuff is not accidental. It’s not just the evolutionary status of the American protest establishment and the dissent movement.

It is purposely, strategically targeted. So they get to play politics on the Fourth of July and we don’t? We want to handcuff ourselves? “Okay, okay, right. You’re right. We shouldn’t politicize the Fourth of July.” We have to politicize it because these people are politicizing everything.

And now we got the media, the Democrats out claiming that the president’s politicizing it when the whole existence of this country is a political miracle! To say that the Independence Day holiday is not political? I think what the Democrats mean by this is, “It’s not the property of one party.” Well, then join us! You are the guys abandoning us. You’re the guys on the left! You don’t want anything to do with the flag, you don’t want anything to do with patriotism. You want to sit there and tear it all down.

BUCK: It’s exactly what we’ve seen in the last few days from the left. That’s what we have been talking about here. Rush knew, Rush saw it, and he was always fighting against it.
