| RUSH: Now, in years past, when the left has done things like eliminate keeping score during high school sporting events because it was not fair. We don´t want to humiliate young kids who are, after all, they´re trying. Why should there be any humiliation for losing? So we started making jokes about where this would lead. And now the things that we joked about back in the nineties are actually happening. Try this. "A Massachusetts principal has been criticized for canceling his school´s Honors Night, saying it could be ´devastating´ to the

All´s well that end´s well, The best students will go to college and end up with decent jobs. "Honor´s Night" doesn´t compare in the long run.

It would be interesting to hear the principal´s views on The Academy Awards, The Emmy Awards, and The Kennedy Center Honors, and other similar events.

This isn´t isolated this is their mindset. Don´t achieve, conform. You didn´t earn that A anyway. Back in the first year of Clinton´s administration George Miller D-CA, wanted to eliminate any federal funding that went to a school district that dared to offer advanced courses. We need to maintain a uniform distribution of dumbness.

i predicted earlier today that Rush would be bloviating on this.
Rush has no children and has no wisdom on how to raise kids.
i have been listening to his show for about 20 years. he has no answers to our problems, just talks to make more money.

How about "Mediocrity Night"? Or "Satisfactory Night"? Then there´s always the "Meets Standards Luncheon". My favorite is the event honoring all students who showed up to school, not necessarily their classes, just showed up to school at least 47% of the schoolyear, or better, the students who showed up at the various bus stops. Give those kids a ribbon. We can call it the "I´m OK, You´re OK Award".

#5. Yeah right. Kids or not, Rush is correct. And. I´ve raised three kids. It´s a tragedy that the libs are working hard to make all the children, especially the achievers, as miserable as the underachievers.

Likewise, cancel any unfair awards, citations, or bonuses the school or its employees received, because it wouldn´t be fair to the schools and employees that tried so hard, but didn´t succeed.

Likewise, cancel any overtime or extra pay received by the teachers or administrators because it wouldn´t be fair to all the employees who didn´t get a chance to work overtime.

Imagine the screaming in Hollywood if they took away all the award shows. No red carpets, no trophys, nothing. I guess because there is big money involved in award shows it´s ok. But stomping on the initiative of children, well I guess that´s ok.

It occurred to me that this story was a little too pat so I looked it up. Turns out the principal didn´t actually CANCEL the honors recognition, only put it in the one big ceremony at the end of the year.
Telling half the story is what the libs do so often when they criticize us conservatives, so let´s not do the same thing when we criticize them.
Fair is fair, Rush Limbaugh, no matter which side you´re on.

#19 way to spin it, wow I got dizzy reading your reply.
Yeah it was canceled, it was a special award ceremony for those kids that now is combined at the end of the year so it gets lost in all the other awards being handed out. (waters down the special recognition) Like the ones for showing up at the bus stop at least twice a week, not leaving the class room in shambles, learning how to recite Dick and Jane books. The award list at these ceremonies is endless and bores every one to tears.

A new study may stimulate the old adage of respecting your elders; it says the general level of intelligence in the Western Hemisphere has declined since the Victorian Era. The study claims the IQ numbers are 14 points lower than from the 19th century. One of the authors of the study, Dr. Jan te Nijenhuis, professor of work and organizational psychology at the University of Amsterdam, says the cause of the movement toward stupidity is that smarter women have fewer children while those of lower intelligence have more children.

Wednesday, May 22, 2013, in broad daylight, a murderous act of jihad butchery was committed on a busy London street. The Daily Mail published a pictorial chronology of the gruesome attack, noting, prominently: At 2:20 PM (London time) a British soldier (25-year-old Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers), wearing a "Help for Heroes T-Shirt" (a charity for wounded British soldiers) was deliberately rammed by a car and crushed against a road sign. The Muslim assailants emerged from the car, dragged the victim to a wall, slashing and stabbing him to

Ron Radosh, writing on PJMedia, dug back into New Left history and political theory in coming up with an explanation for the IRS´s targeting of conservative groups. Radosh provided a telling quote from Herbert Marcuse´s theory of "repressive tolerance" article of 1965. I doubt whether it really applies to the IRS scandal but it´s timely in other ways. "Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be

During his foreign policy speech Thursday afternoon, President Obama warned that domestic terrorism would increase in the modern age of the Internet. “[T]his threat is not new,” Obama said. “But technology and the Internet increase its frequency and lethality.” Obama warned Americans that materials on the Internet could influence people to commit terrorist acts. “Today, a person can consume hateful propaganda, commit themselves to a violent agenda and learn how to kill without leaving their home,” he said.

How many ignored warnings does it take? That is one question that should hang over Britain after the horror of the daytime murder of a British soldier on the streets of south London. On Wednesday afternoon, Drummer Lee Rigby was killed in Woolwich by two men wielding large knives and shouting "Allahu akbar"—God is great. Islamists have been saying for years they would do this. They have planned to do it. And now they have done it. The attack itself is not surprising. What is surprising is that British society remains so utterly unwilling not just to deal

The White House insists President Obama is "outraged" by the "inappropriate" targeting and harassment of conservative groups. If true, it´s a remarkable turnaround for a man who helped pioneer those tactics. On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats. What came next was not common.

IRS Scandal: The inexplicable raid nearly two years ago on a guitar maker for using allegedly illegal wood that its competitors also used was another targeting by this administration of its political enemies. On Aug. 24, 2011, federal agents executed four search warrants on Gibson Guitar Corp. facilities in Nashville and Memphis, Tenn., and seized several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. One of the top makers of acoustic and electric guitars, including the iconic Les Paul introduced in 1952, Gibson was accused of using wood illegally obtained in

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
