Rush on the Opening Ceremonies

Rush always tells it like it is. Those who were with me watching the Opening ceremonies on Friday night can attest to my remarks about Communist China. Others in the room agreed. Like always, Rush gives voice to the common people of the United States. With the drive-by media fawning over Communist China, Rush brings a touch of reality to the commentary. Thank you Rush.

Now, I understand that they don’t want the plug pulled by the ChiCom government on the telecasts.  But please, I mean it was over the top, some of this stuff was.  Well, I’m going to have more comments on the ceremony down the road.  That ceremony, yeah, it was dazzling, there’s no question, but can I tell you what I saw in that ceremony?  Who’s putting that ceremony on?  The ChiComs.  I don’t care what the video that NBC is showing you looks like, that is still a repressive regime.  What I saw were 15,000 kids who all looked the same, who were all doing the same thing, who were all behaving the same way.  I saw sameness.  I didn’t see any individuality at all.  I saw 15,000 people at slave wages no doubt, following orders or else.  Now, it was great, the pageantry was fabulous.  The performance of those people in that opening ceremony was great, the synchronization was flawless. They’ve only been rehearsing for this for probably five years.  They probably got some dietary bonuses if they did well.  But I saw sameness.  I saw no individuality whatsoever.  I saw exactly what the Soviet communist model, the Marxist model for society is.  One person’s as easily interchangeable as anybody else.  We’ve now learned that the cute little girl in pigtails that sang the opening hymn to the motherland — that’s probably the one time Obama does clasp his heart, when the ChiComs sing hymn to the motherland.  But nevertheless, we find out that that little girl didn’t sing it, she lip-synced it.  The actual girl that sang it was pulled out at the last minute because she has buckteeth.  The ChiComs said she didn’t look good enough to be on TV so they pulled her and they had that little girl in pigtails go out there and lip-sync the thing.
