Rush NAILS it... again. (School Shootings, etc) - ECUGrad07 - 02-22-2018 10:49 AM
"You know, folks, how many of you have — in your own minds — longed for what you consider to be the innocence and the simpler days of the past? How many of you have thought about how innocent life seemed back in the ’50s? Ozzie and Harriet. In the ’50s we had a Second Amendment. It was as robust and thriving then as it is now. What did we not have in the 1950s and into the 1960s? What did we not have? We didn’t have school shootings.
There were the occasional mass shootings, Richard Speck and the nurses in Texas. They were really, really rare — and those were in the mid to late ’60s which itself was a decade of great turmoil and revolution. But in the decade of the ’50s, the decade of innocence, the post-war economic boom decade — mom and dad, the 2.8 kids, white picket fence, family dog, station wagon gone in the garage. Whenever anybody reminisces about returning to those days, what are they told? They’re mocked and they’re laughed at. They’re made fun of.
“You can’t go back! You can’t do that! We can never go back to the ’50s. The ’50s weren’t that great anyway. We can’t do that. You’ve got to grow up. You’ve got to understand that things change — and even if you don’t like ’em, you gotta learn to accept them.” Now, in many instances the people wishing for a rebirth of those days of innocence are talking primarily about cultural things, when there seemed to be a more robust morality that the majority of the Americans abided by and agreed with.
It is cultural degradation that most people lament when they talk about returning to the ’50s. And, of course, those who are benefitting from the cultural degradation who don’t want to return, mock those who long for those simpler days by telling them, “Grow up! Get real! You have to accept things as they are. Things change — and if you don’t want to change with them, then you’re a so and so.” Isn’t it interesting that the American media and its fellow radicals are essentially asking for a return to a more innocent time — a simpler time when these events did not happen?
When school shootings, mass shootings, church shootings, movie theater shootings, didn’t happen. They are hell bent on believing that we can make that journey to the past. They are convinced that we can get there by simply eliminating the Second Amendment or eliminating guns or what have you. What would their reaction be if we were to say: “Come on, get real! You can’t go back to the ’50s. None of us can go back to the ’50s. We can’t turn back the hands of the clock. We have to deal with what’s now.”
Exactly what the left tells people who reminisce about the ’50s today. We can’t go back to the ’50s! You’ve got deal with it! If you don’t like gay marriage, deal with it! If you don’t like transgender bathrooms, deal with it.! If you don’t like open-borders immigration, deal with it!” People who long for a more innocent and simpler time are mocked and laughed at and impugned in any number of ways, and yet now it is the American left somehow seemingly longing for those days in the past when these kinds of events didn’t happen.
They have a firm belief we can get back there. All we gotta do is something with guns. We’ve gotta take them away from people that have them; we’ve got to prevent new ones being made or sold. We’ve gotta get rid of the Second Amendment. Totally unrealistic demand and unrealistic expectations. But even worse: A failure to recognize the current reality and deal with that. And until they, not us — but until they — can deal with the current reality instead of lamenting and wishing for days that no longer exist, we’re never going to fix this.
We’re never going to solve it. Because their solutions require us to get in our time machines and revisit a previous age where things were simpler and innocent. But if we can’t do it with cultural issues, if we have to sit here and accept the reality that has become our society, then doesn’t that hold for all areas of our country’s evolution? And it does. We can’t go back. It isn’t the Twilight Zone. It’s not Star Trek. We can’t beam ourselves back. We can’t beam the guns away. We can’t go back and destroy those that have been made.
Even if we get rid of the Second Amendment, there’s still 300 million guns out there.
That’s a reality we have to deal with — and we do in many other areas. We have air marshals on airplanes. We don’t know who they are but they’re there. We have armed security at so many places in this country. Try to go to a Super Bowl, any public supporting event. The security you’re required to go through? (sigh) I mean, it never was ever like this. In the ’50s and the ’60s, you wanted to go to the ballpark; you went to the ballpark! You didn’t worry about a terrorist bomb or a lunatic shooter. But now we have to, and we deal with it — except in schools. For some reason, we’re told, “We can’t turn schools into armed security depots.”
Why? It’s about the only thing that’s really going to stop this."

I can’t stand it when people say they long for the 50s. The 1950s where racism, mysogyny, and homophobia were a way life. I am so glad the 50s and 60s are long gone because it was an embarrassment to this country. Times change, people adapt. It’s time this country adapt or we will be no more.

Guess you didn't read the last line. This country adapting would be to put armed guards at schools.

No this country adapting would be to take assault weapons off the street and to contain the problem known as white anger.

Assault Weapons...... Generic term for people who don't know what the F they're talking about.
Fully automatic weapons are already ILLEGAL. What's legal is semi-automatic weapons like the dreaded AR-15 or any other weapon that doesn't require one to reload or recock the hammer.
Just because something is big and scary doesn't make it illegal.
By all means, gather your fellow leftists and DEMAND your candidates run on banning "weapons" and confiscating them from law abiding citizens. Report back and tell us how THAT worked out for ya.

Exactly. Get rid of street gangs, street thugs, armed robbers, armed violent criminals, cartels, rapist, terrorist, and the like—-and maybe taking away guns from law abiding citizens might make some sense. Even then, probably not, since we have since learned you can use a rented truck to kill 100+ people if you really want to create a mass killing event.

He really did. Its not about guns. Its about the people and our society. The Hollywood culture isn't a healthy one.

Rush is a curious proponent of 1950's America being that he is an admitted opioid addict working on his 4th marriage.

Well El Rushbo, we can certainly turn schools into armed security depots. However, will you support the necessary increase in taxes to accomplish it?

Of course.
If I were a law-maker though, I might propose cutting or eliminating PP funding to help pay for it. It is for the children after all.

You could probably cover 1 school district with that.
Additionally,
Quote:Most of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding is from Medicaid reimbursements for preventive care, and some is from Title X. There’s no keep-Planned-Parenthood-running part of the federal budget.How Federal Funding Works at Planned Parenthood
At least 60% of Planned Parenthood patients rely on public health programs like Medicaid and Title X for their preventive and primary care. So, when you hear politicians talking about “defunding” Planned Parenthood, they really mean blocking patients who rely on public health care programs from getting their care at Planned Parenthood centers...

Get rid of the overabundance of assistant principals, put them back in the classroom teaching, and use the savings to hire trained security.

Pretty sure almost $500mm would cover more than one school district.
Abortion is a barbaric procedure that deserves no place in modern medicine as a commonplace practice made on the whim of convenience. If any law needs changing, its the 'freedom of choice' aspect that protects abortion providers. Truth be told, if abortions were such a small percentage of PP's services, they should have no problem ending the practice.

You do realize that none of that $500 mm is for abortions, right? It's for health services for people. So you're willing to take health care away from people to fortify schools?
