Rush Limbaugh Up For Children’s Author Award

Rush Limbaugh Up For Children’s Author Award

At the end of last October, Rush Limbaugh published his first book in well over a decade.  But it wasn’t a book on political thought, or even a book for adults.  No, what Rush had done was far more interesting and powerful.  You see, Rush Limbaugh wrote a children’s book, which was aimed at a target audience of 8  to 12 year olds.

“Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims” is the first book in Limbaugh’s new children’s book series.

Limbaugh has now released a second book in his new series, which features Rush Revere, an American history teacher, and his time-traveling horse Liberty, an 18th century steed who inexplicably ended up in the 21st century, and has a range of interesting abilities… not the least of which is talking.  

The first book has proved to be so popular that it ended up on bestseller lists, and now has earned a spot as a finalist in the Children’s Book Council’s Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards.  Cue the predictable outrage that Rush Limbaugh might actually win an award for a children’s book.  The Children’s Book Council had to post an official letter on their website and Facebook page, stating:

The Author of the Year and Illustrator of the Year finalists are determined solely based on titles’ performances on the bestseller lists – all titles in those categories are listed as a result of this protocol. Some of you have voiced concerns over the selection of finalists from bestseller lists, which you feel are potentially-manipulable indications of the success of a title. We can take this into consideration going forward, but cannot change our procedure for selecting finalists after the fact.

So, yes, Rush Limbaugh now has a shot at winning an award for writing a children’s book.  A pretty darn good children’s book, I might add.  I “borrowed” my daughter’s copy and read it for myself.  She is still reading it – she’s one of  those people who can have five books going at once, which drives me crazy because I have never wanted to do that; I always finish a book before starting a new one – but she likes it.  And a lot of other kids have liked it.

This simply continues the trend of conservative books long dominating bestseller lists.  In fact, this has been going on for years – and the left has been whining about it and making excuses for it for years.  It makes the left look bad when conservative books are on bestseller lists.  Liberals want to – nay, need to – believe that conservatives are ignorant and uneducated.  The liberal dominance of academia gives them a sense of superiority – as if they have the corner on the intelligence market.  To have multiple books by multiple conservative (or, as Bill O’Reilly prefers to call himself, “traditional”) authors consistently dominating the non-fiction market is something that can’t be ignored.  If it was just one personality that was selling books, that could be explained away as “just the followers buying it.”  But it’s not just Rush – who hadn’t published a book since 1993 until this one.  It’s Mark Levin.  It’s Charles Krauthammer.  It’s Bill O’Reilly.  And many others.

And now Rush is gaining a foothold in children’s books.  And children are reading his books.  And liking his books.

No wonder the left is freaking out.  Goodness knows, we can’t have a generation of independent readers and thinkers.  Why, that would be… dangerous.

    I am an adult reader — love Rush’s books. Would like a sitcom like Mr. Ed based on Rush’s series of childrens’ books.

  • Buzz Bannister says:

    It should be turned into a Broadway musical just to screw with the left.

  • Xavier says:

    Let’s start a rumor that it’s required reading in some history classes and kids are listening to EIB in schools.

    You can hear liberal’s heads exploding already, can’t you?

  • The liberal dominance of academia gives them a sense of superiority – as if they have the corner on the intelligence market.

    Indeed. A weird symbiosis has developed between liberal professors and the media. The professors produce a steady stream of research that affirm the progressive worldview, research which often wilts in the face of reality (witness the incredible gymnastics some climate scientists have performed in order to prop up their global warming religion in the teeth of evidence that there has been no warming for almost two decades). This research is disseminated by a credulous media that lacks the expertise to evaluate it properly.

    In return the media provide political cover for the liberal professors. Skepticism is attacked as “anti-science” and “anti-intellectual”. Academic tenure benefits from a fight-to-the-death defense from reporters who would be far less sympathetic if the concept were applied to Wall Street executives and CEOs of struggling corporations. Public university budgets are rarely scrutinized, and the sometimes bizarro practices by academia’s more unstable elements (example: the <a href="http://collegeinsurrection.com/2014/03/u-of-virginias-first-annual-condom-olympics-features-threesomes-events/"Condom Olympics ) usually go unreported.

    From the CBC website:

    “Ultimately, kids and teens (over one million of them if as many vote this year as did last year) will decide who wins in all 6 Children’s Choice Book Awards categories on May 14, so encourage them to vote starting March 25 at ccbookawards.com. We have procedures in place to eliminate duplicate, fake, and adult votes during the voting period as much as possible.”

    “Eliminate… adult votes”? How?

    As much as Mrs. Jung is an idiot, I do have to expose Rush for he is an agent of the Devil. “Come on man! Really? Shut the F up!” For those of you who are not aware of the Hidden Power Brokers who linger in clubs such as the Masons etc. – it is a vast network of back slapping Luciferian worshipping folk, who enable each other & bask in the light of their accomplishments made readily achievable due to their connections. The highest level known is a 32nd degree Mason. Past that you are considered ‘Enlightened’ or 33rd Degree (Shriner) – the Left Hand Path (Google Left Hand Path) to that end is so revolting I cannot w/ conscious reveal. Doubt this? Look at Rush’s EIB logo. It is “I” surrounded by a “33”. Calling out to his brothers in Luciferian Arms. The light on the bottom of the Logo is to your right, but if you are the Logo, it is on the Logo’s left (Left Hand Path).
