Rush Limbaugh's Thanksgiving Day Story

Via amuse's substack, Rush Limbaugh had written about the first Thanksgiving in one of his books and sometimes read the passage aloud before the holiday.

This, dear reader, is the real story of Thanksgiving. It wasn't just a meal shared with Native Americans--though they did indeed feast together, celebrating the bounty of their harvest. No, the true reason for giving thanks was far greater: the Pilgrims gave thanks to God for guiding them to the principles that allowed them to survive and then thrive--the principles of hard work, private property, and individual liberty. It wasn't socialism that saved them; it was capitalism. It was the power of personal responsibility and the freedom to reap the fruits of one's own labor that turned near-starvation into abundance.

Below, two clips of Limbaugh talking about this. The first clip is shorter -- about eight minutes -- and the second clip is longer -- about 33 minutes. Your choice!

The latter clip is the last time Rush addressed this before he died.
