This video was actually done especially for Earth Day and the greenies.  Earth Day every year is April 22nd.  It is called, &#8220;If I Wanted America to Fail.&#8221;  We got three bites. <\/line><BR\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"327\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CZ-4gnNz0vc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/line><\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:  If I wanted America to fail, I\u2019d use their schools to teach one generation of Americans that their factories and their cars will cause a new ice age, and I\u2019d muster a straight face so I could teach the next generation that they\u2019re causing global warming.  When it\u2019s cold out, I\u2019d call it climate change instead.  I\u2019d imply that America\u2019s cities and factories could run on wind power and wishes.  I\u2019d teach children how to ignore the hypocrisy of condemning logging, mining, and farming, while having roofs over their heads, heat in their homes, and food on their tables.  I would never teach children that the free market is the only force in human history to uplift the poor, establish the middle class, and create lasting prosperity.  Instead, I\u2019d demonize prosperity itself so they will not miss what they will never have.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/members.premiereinteractive.com\/store\/28566\/41863_8.html\"><img id=\"eZObject_61723\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/350x275.jpg\"\/><\/a>RUSH:  It\u2019s brilliant.  I love it.  It is exactly grand-slam home run material.  It nails the environmentalist wacko movement.  It\u2019s just perfection.  And it\u2019s close to my heart.  This has been, this whole global warming, climate change, manmade, has been probably in my top five most-important-to-me-to-see-people-get-the-right-news-about-it issues since I started this program.  For 23-plus years practically every day I\u2019ve been talking about the lies and the techniques.  And right there these guys nailed it in that little bite of 49 seconds.  Guilt everybody, you\u2019re causing climate change with your factories and your thermostats and your comfortable lifestyle and the car you drive. You\u2019re causing it, but there\u2019s redemption for you if you follow our directions.  You allow your taxes to go up. You start driving a bunch of little clunkers around. You basically give up a little freedom. You stop enjoying as much of life as you can. That\u2019s the price you have to pay for destroying the planet.  This is exactly the technique these guys, these people, young people got it.  And other young people listen to young people, and this is a video that went viral out there.  Here\u2019s the next example.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:  If I wanted America to fail, I\u2019d make it easier to stop commerce than to start it, easier to kill jobs than create them, more fashionable to resent success than to seek it.  When industries seek to create jobs, I\u2019d file lawsuits to stop them, and then I\u2019d make taxpayers pay for my lawyers.  If I wanted America to fail, I would transform the environmental agenda from a documented conservation to an economic suicide pact.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  An economic suicide pact. &#8220;If I Wanted America to Fail.&#8221;  And of course this is especially warm to my heart since on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=31442\">January 16th of 2009<\/a> I said, &#8220;I hope he fails.&#8221;  Oh, that\u2019s another thing, for those of you new to the program. And, by the way, we now know, we got the numbers in from March.  Through the roof.  Skyrocketing.  All kinds of new people here.  January 16th of 2009, Wall Street Journal calls, &#8220;We want 400 words on what your hopes for Obama are as this historic new presidency is inaugurated.&#8221;  And they told me they were gonna be asking a lot of other people to submit 400-word little mini-essays, gonna publish them in the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=31442\"><img id=\"eZObject_61713\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushIHopeHeFails.jpg\"\/><\/a>I wrote back and I said, &#8220;I don\u2019t need 400 words or 200 words.  I can do it in four words:  &#8216;I hope he fails.'&#8221;  And reactions were predictable.  But everybody who criticized me knew exactly what I meant.  They knew it then; they know it now.  I hoped Obama\u2019s agenda would fail.  He\u2019s a liberal.  He\u2019s a socialist.  He\u2019s a Marxist.  I knew what he was going to do.  I knew what his policies were going to be, and I didn\u2019t want them to succeed.  I believe in free market economics, freedom in general, pursuit of happiness.  I didn\u2019t want Obama to succeed implementing his agenda because it would be detrimental to the country.  Everybody knew that, but it was too big an opportunity for \u2019em to let it go so they had to demagogue it, criticize it. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it ends.  This next bite is how this video, &#8220;If I Wanted America to Fail,&#8221; ends.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:  I\u2019d concede entire industries to our economic rivals by imposing regulations that cost trillions.  I\u2019d celebrate those who preach environmental austerity in public while indulging a lavish lifestyle in private.  I\u2019d convince Americans that Europe has it right and that America has it wrong.  If I wanted America to fail, I would prey on the goodness and the decency of ordinary Americans.  I would only need to convince them that all of this is for the greater good.  If I wanted America to fail, I suppose I wouldn\u2019t change a thing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  If I wanted America to fail, I wouldn\u2019t change a thing.  Meaning, Obama\u2019s headed down the right path toward American failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a great video.
