People who know and study American history, were still abundant when Rush Limbaugh ventured onto the national stage - following a bow wave created by Ronald Reagan. Americans still traveled to historical sites.
Despite some popular observations about young people and the current “anti-study” of American History, I am occasionally surprised when I meet a young person who is interested . . . because he or she is aware of NOT being taught American History and finds that they want to know a lot more.
On the other hand, I did meet a gal, born in the midwest and maybe 35 years old, who had never heard of the Civil War. She was a teen during the early G. W. Bush Admin., when American History had already been heading over the cliff - in high schools.
Yet Rush sure did attract young people who learned what was not on, or sufficiently reported in, the evening TV news.
I think that too many Republicans in the public eye, do not sufficiently know, and are unable to support [with], American History - in their speaking.
Rush Limbaugh’s father sure had the talent. Ronald Reagan did.
My point is, you have to be a teacher who knows American History, and, who loves your students - as a conservative radio showman.
In order to gain ground.
Very true points! How many politicians do we even hear quote American history facts?
My kiddos are proud Rush babies....from way back :-)
Our own LS reaches many of the younger generation with his American History homeschool lectures and lessons.
James Woods is also doing good work tweeting, daily (?) about the American Revolution/history. Hopefully, younger folks are seeing his tweets.
Love this ... we’re weathering this storm, together, with our dear RPOTUS.
American History should be the first reform in public school education.

My friend (hoosiermama)must have had a time getting to sleep last night and sent me this. I thought you would be interested.
Derinkuyu: Mysterious underground city in Turkey found in man’s basement
A basement renovation project led to the archaeological discovery of a lifetime: the Derinkuyu Underground City, which housed 20,000 people.
**********
In 1963, a man knocked down a wall in his basement and discovered a mysterious underground city. The subterranean city is up to 18 stories and 280 feet deep in places and probably thousands of years old. The Derinkuyu Underground City is the largest of its kind: It could house 20,000 people.

We live cheek by jowl with undiscovered worlds. Sometimes the barriers that separate us are thick, sometimes they’re thin, and sometimes they’re breached. That’s when a wardrobe turns into a portal to Narnia, a rabbit hole leads to Wonderland, and a Raquel Welch poster is all that separates a prison cell from the tunnel to freedom.

"Nearly every elected official from South Carolina is endorsing me [not Birdbrain]. That says a lot."
"I haven't even talked about Desanctimonious. I think he's gone. (points to someone in the crowd) You can't say that, sir! This guy said, 'He bought a new pair of high heels!' You can't say that!" (Laughter)
Inviting an entire group of pols from South Carolina up on stage. "I'm going to be there in a few days, so I'm kissing ass!"
This group includes the Governor, Lt. Governor and Congressman Joe "You Lie!" Wilson. All endorsing President Trump, not Nimrata Haley.
"It's time to fight for this man just like he's fought for us."
South Carolina Governor McMasters: "We want to get the woke out of our military and put the fight back in!"
"Do you want to hear 'The Snake'?"
"YES!!!"
"You have to give a president complete and total immunity. I'm not just talking about me. All presidents."
On Garland's DOJ: "This is election interference on a scale we've never seen before. By the way, whatever happened to the Biden boxes, kept them in his garage?"
Some nut disrupts the speech. "Get him outta here ... A disturbed person. Probably paid by Soros."
"There's a group of ladies from North Carolina. They follow me everywhere. This is their 117th rally. Stand up, ladies."
On public speaking: "There's such love in the room, it's not that hard to do."
"We will expose and expel the warmongers, the sick political class that hates this country."
"Hold on, Jane!"
👍🏼👍🏼
AWESOME recap, of last night’s YUGE NH rally, Gran!
That last one really has MY heart ❤️ 😊
Exactly!
All a part of the plan to dumb down the people by the NWO/WEF.
I have talked about this before after working for nearly 25 years in the Middle School level of education.
Our history teachers rejected the new books offered and used their old ones till they wore out.
This was over 10 years ago, and things were going south rapidly them.
them=then
Going to be one of those days.😁
That article is very interesting and makes me know much more.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks to jonny I was able to do a recap.
Jonny, you are a gem!
