Sad and shocking Example of How Liberalism Kills
RUSH: Let me give you a really sad and shocking example of how liberalism kills. This is how liberalism kills innocent and gullible people. This story is about fear-mongering by the Democrats and the left from the Latin-American Herald Tribune, which sounds like it might be the Latin-American version of the New York Times, but here's the upshot of the story. It's from Buenos Aires.
"A seven-month-old baby survived alone for three days with a bullet wound in its chest beside the bodies of its parents and its brother, who died in a suicide pact brought on by the couple's terror of global warming, according to the Argentine press. The cops found a letter on the table alluding to the couple’s worry about global warming and their anger at the government’s lack of interest in the matter."
They killed themselves. Familial suicide -- well, murder and suicide brought on by the fear of climate change and the fact that a government wasn't doing anything about it. These people had to be -- you might want to say they're deranged, who knows. But who made them this way? Who inculcated such fear that the planet may not be habitable in X-number of years to the point it may not be worth growing up because the suffering is going to be so, so profound? So to eliminate the potential suffering that might happen because of climate change, they kill themselves.
Yes, it's an extreme example, but it's an example. And I'm telling you, I know many of you might think I'm be somewhat jocular. I could share with you stories every day from the tech blogs I read, and I read these, these are Millennials, these are highly educated in terms of formal college education. They're arrogant, they're educated, they think they know it all, and they have bought this hook, line, and sinker. And they are scared to death that Donald Trump is going to hasten the destruction of the planet, and some of them think because he wants to.
I never understood this during the Reagan years. They accused Reagan of purposely destroying the ozone layer. Why would anybody -- in the first place, we wouldn't know how to do it if we wanted to. Just like let's say President Trump -- no, no. Not gonna put Trump in this. Let's say President Obama, as one of his outgoing missions, convenes his cabinet and orders his head of the EPA to hasten, to speed up climate change, to do great damage to the country in order to pay people back for not electing Hillary.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, keep in mind, some people in this audience think that's possible, when I mention that, they think it's possible. What would Obama's EPA director do? You're sitting there, you're in the cabinet meeting, and Obama has just told you to speed up climate change so that its effects happen in the next six months to a year instead of the next 20 years because you want to exact revenge on the people that did not elect Hillary.
What would the EPA guy do to hasten the speed of global warming and climate change? Any of you who believe that man is making this happen, tell me what anybody, EPA director or anyone, what would you do if you got the order to hasten climate change, the rise of the sea levels, the increase in global temperatures, what would you do to make it happen? (interruption) So you think they would set fire to every forest, try to explode every volcano, trigger every earthquake. You think that would hasten climate change?
See, you have just fallen for the trap. You're answering it, okay, this is what the insane would do. You don't really think that would hasten climate change, do you? But the danger is that somebody might think you could do it. (interruption) No. James Carville having a talk show, that wouldn't. I mean, I get your point, hot air and all that, but I don't think that'd be --
