No, we gotta talk about "America was never really great" is that what you believe, Libs?

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite No. 10. This is Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario “The Pious,” and yesterday in New York City he was signing some bill somewhere. You know, Trump is egging him on to run against him in 2020. Trump is encouraging Andrew Cuomo to run against him. Trump is salivating at the chance to run against the son of Mario “The Pious,” and here’s what Andrew said…
ANDREW CUOMO: Look, the simple point is all this comes down to this. We’re not gonna “Make America Great Again.” It was never that great.
AUDIENCE: (shocked hoots, murmuring)
ANDREW CUOMO: We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women — 51% of our population — is gone, and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed, and every woman is making her full contribution.
AUDIENCE: (silence)
RUSH: What an absolute blithering idiot! To claim that America’s greatness has been denied because one group here or one group there somehow has not been allowed to reach its potential. Here we have it, identity politics on parade. Have you noticed, my friends, how many people on the left, supposedly college educated, supposedly well-learned, just really don’t know anything? They are just really dumb and stupid, don’t have any common sense.
This is just a stupid thing to say! It’s a stupid thing politically to say, and his aides started doing a tap dance almost immediately trying to say, “Well, you know, we need to re-explain what the governor meant. The governor really wasn’t saying…” Yes, he did. He said it, he meant it. This is the thing. He meant it. It’s not a new thing for leftists to think America is not great. America is flawed. America’s unjust, it’s immoral. I have been trying to convince people they think of it this way for decades.
They do not think America’s great. And their definition of greatness and their reasons for thinking this are simply reasons that do not relate to normal people. What he just said here doesn’t make sense to normal people. What? “We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American’s fully engaged?” What the hell does that mean? It’s never gonna happen. It isn’t gonna happen that every American’s fully engaged.
What does being fully engaged mean? Voting Democrat? Advocating Democrat policy? What does that even mean? It doesn’t mean anything you can define. But to make my point Andrew is a the chip off the block. Let’s go listen to Mario “The Pious” himself July 16th, 1984, Democrat National Convention. This is the convention that nominated Walter F. Mondull. But the primary for the Democrats, it was very interesting.
The Reverend Jackson sought the nomination, and he had the support of many, many, many people who would later go on to vote for Obama. And then Gary Hart(pence), senator from Colorado, got caught on the boat off Bimini with some bimbo and not his wife. He was also wanting the nomination. In fact, 1984 is when I actually began my radio broadcast commentary career at a news station in Kansas City.
I promptly got fired after two months of it because the newspapers were actually writing stories about the radio station. We can’t have that. The ownership came in from Salt Lake City, “We don’t want this kind of attention?”
Really?
“Yeah, you gotta go. You gotta be more like David Broder. Broder tells people what he thinks, but you don’t know what he said after you’ve read it.”
I said, “Well, what good is it then?”
“Well, it’s just the way you do it.”
But during the campaign I was having a blast breaking down who the Democrats were and what they were doing. Anyway, the convention came. The Democrats were not happy with Mondull. The Democrats didn’t think Mondull had a prayer. And they knew that Mondull didn’t have a prayer.
And what the Democrats were doing was simply offering Mondale as a sacrificial lamb. Why have a future star of your party go down to a 49-state landslide defeat against Ronaldus Magnus? They don’t want that happening to the Reverend Jackson. They didn’t want it happening to Governor Cuomo. They didn’t want it happening to Gary Hart(pence).
So Mondull was Carter’s VP. He was a war horse for the Democrats; he was very loyal. So they let him have the nomination and he went down in flames, after promising to raise everybody’s taxes. And it was Governor Cuomo’s speech at the convention that made everybody at the convention realize they’d nominated the wrong guy. We have two sound bites. Here is the father, Mario “The Pious,” of Andrew and Fredo Cuomo.
