This is the first year the country goes without the annual tradition, but countless Americans across the nation are continuing to keep the tradition alive.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic conservative radio host delivered his last Thanksgiving rendition November 24, 2020 \u2014 roughly three months prior to his untimely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2021\/02\/17\/talk-radio-legend-rush-limbaugh-dies-of-cancer-at-70\/\">passing<\/a> after battling advanced lung cancer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>During the program, Limbaugh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2020\/11\/24\/the-real-story-of-thanksgiving-2\/\">expressed<\/a> joy that \u201cThe True Story of Thanksgiving\u201d is spreading across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Real Story of Thanksgiving, going back to the very first early days of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed,\u201d he said, detailing the arduous conditions the Pilgrims faced the they landed in the New World, as detailed by William Bradford in his journal.<\/p>\n<p>Limbaugh continued, getting to the crux of \u201cThe True Story of Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Per his transcript:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"111\">\n<p>During that first winter \u2014 remember, they arrive in November \u2014 during that first winter, half of them, including William Bradford\u2019s own wife, died of starvation, of sickness, exposure to the elements. Now we\u2019re getting close to what you were taught in school. When spring finally came \u2014 and, by the way, writing that doesn\u2019t do it justice. Spring didn\u2019t just finally come. It was a survival. It was an act of survival that you and I cannot possibly relate to or understand.<\/p>\n<p>American Special Forces can. Military people who\u2019ve been trained can understand what the Pilgrims were \u2014 you and I can\u2019t. We\u2019ve never done anything like that first winter in the New World. They survived it. Spring finally came. They did meet the Indians, the Native Americans who were there, who did help them in planting corn and fishing for cod. They showed \u2019em where the beavers were so the beavers could be skinned for coats, other things. You animal rights people are not gonna like some of this story, but it happened.<\/p>\n<p>But even at this, even with this degree of assistance from the Indians, the Native Americans, there wasn\u2019t any prosperity yet. They had the Mayflower Compact. They had these laws they were living by, and there was no prosperity. And I wonder why. Now, this is important to understand here, folks, because this is where modern American history lessons end, with the Indians teaching the Pilgrims how to eat, how to fish, how to skin beavers, and all that.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where it ends. And that\u2019s the feel-good story. But that doesn\u2019t even get close to the true story. You know, Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives. It wasn\u2019t that. That happened, but Thanksgiving was a devout expression of gratitude, the Pilgrims, to God for their survival, and everything that was a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here\u2019s the part that has been omitted. The original contract the Pilgrims entered into in Holland \u2014 they had sponsors. They didn\u2019t have the money to do this trip on their own. They had sponsors. There were merchant sponsors in London and in Holland. And these merchant sponsors demanded that everything that the Pilgrims produced in the New World would go into a common store, a single bank, if you will. And that each member of the Pilgrim community was entitled to one share.<\/p>\n<p>So everybody had an equal share of whatever was in that bank. All of the land they cleared, all of the houses they built belonged to that bank, to the community as well. And they were going to distribute it equally, because they were gonna be fair. So all of the land that they cleared and all the houses they built belonged to everybody. Belonged to the community. Belonged to the bank, belonged to the common store. Nobody owned anything. They just had an equal share in it. It was a commune.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilgrims established a commune, essentially. Forerunner of the communes we saw in the sixties and seventies out in California. They even had their own organic vegetables, by the way. Yep. The Pilgrims, forerunners of organic vegetables. Of course, what else could there be? No such thing as processed anything back then.<\/p>\n<p>Now, William Bradford, who had become the governor of the colony \u2019cause he was the leader, recognized that this wasn\u2019t gonna work. This was costly and destructive, and it just wasn\u2019t working. It was collectivism. It was socialism. It wasn\u2019t working. That first winner had taken a lot of lives. The manpower was greatly reduced. So William Bradford decided to take bold action, which I will describe when we get back.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 Bradford decided to scrub it. He threw it out and took bold action. He assigned a plot of land to each family. Every family was given a plot of land. They could work it, manage it however they wanted to. If they just wanted to sit on it, get fat, dumb, happy, and lazy, they could. If they wanted to develop it, if they wanted to grow corn, whatever on it, they could. If they wanted to build on it, they could do that. If they wanted to turn it into a quasi-business, they could do whatever they wanted to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>He turned loose the power of the capitalist marketplace. Long before Karl Marx was even born. Long before Karl Marx was a sperm cell in his father\u2019s dreams, the Pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism, and they found that it didn\u2019t work. Now, it wasn\u2019t called that then. But that\u2019s exactly what it was. Everybody was given an equal share. You know what happened? Nobody did anything. There was no incentive. Nothing worked. Nothing happened.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ultimately, Limbaugh continued, the Pilgrims introduced capitalism, opening the door for individual incentives, which proved to be a game-changer for the settlers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd all it took was prosperity and the word spreading across the Atlantic Ocean of how there was prosperity and it was there for the taking. All you had to do was get there and give it a shot,\u201d Limbaugh said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lesson is \u2014 The True Story of Thanksgiving is \u2014 that William Bradford and his Pilgrim community were thanking God for the blessings on their community after the first miserable winter of a documented failure brought on by their attempt at fairness and equality, which was socialism,\u201d he added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rush Limbaugh - THE TRUE STORY OF THANKSGIVING\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jAyvTCaoFA0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late Rush Limbaugh would, every year, retell \u201cThe True Story of Thanksgiving\u201d to his millions of listeners.
