A couple of days ago Rush was talking about the child sex abuse scandal engulfing Penn State, and said there was one glaring reason in front of everybody's faces why the Penn State folks hadn't taken any serious action about it. The only thing I could think of that he meant (since he was so afraid to come right out and say it) was that there was a "homosexual agenda" that was promoting such child abuse, and if anyone tried to stop it gays would rally and strike and call "homophobia" - thus destroying all their careers and seeing them summarily dismissed.
Now a possible second meaning of Rush's words has become clear to me. Maybe no one did anything about it because Penn State at that time was a winning football team, and Penn State students would have rioted at the thought that their strength and conditioning coach was fired just because he was having fun with little boys. (If it had been little girls now, who knows, that might have been a different story.)
In any event, apparently students at Penn State have been rioting because Joe Paterno was fired yesterday - instead of being allowed to finish out the season and the retire.
Students rioting - where have we heard this before? Presumably none of these students are parents (oh, there are probably baby mommas and baby daddys abomong them, but no parents who place the welfare of their kids of higher importance than the welfare of their football team).
And Rush talks about the degredation of American culture?
Fans of sports in this country will fight each other at the drop of the hat - knock people down and stomp them into comas - just because someone is wearing the wrong jersey?
Sports at one time were touted to build character and well...sportsmanship, but those feelings have long gone by the wayside.
Sad.
