RUSH: Steve in Springfield, Massachusetts. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, Rush, wow. This is a tremendous honor. Spare me if I sound a little nervous. I used to listen to you on THE in Leicester in the late eighties. Anyway —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That makes you a lifer. I mean, if you\u2019ve been around since the late eighties, you\u2019ve been around since the beginning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CALLER: Yeah. But I\u2019ll tell you, you know, two things that I heard on your show really reshaped my analysis of liberalism. One of them, when you said it was actually the news media that was controlling things and the party was just an arm, but also that piece by David Greenfield<\/a>. IT really kind of like shook up my thinking as to how diabolical the liberal movement is. This isn\u2019t just arbitrary stuff, and they\u2019ve gone way beyond just political propaganda. What they\u2019re doing is they completely hijack the language and learn how to do things with subtle nuances that a lot of people don\u2019t even pick up on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, you are — and I don\u2019t mean this to take away from you. I\u2019m actually very happy to hear it. You are one of many people who have given me feedback that my reading and interpretation of that piece by Daniel Greenfield<\/a> was of profound enlightenment to them. It was a great piece because it did cast all of this in a different light. It\u2019s not just left-versus-right politics, and it\u2019s not the Democrats that are running this show. It\u2019s the media, the entire left-wing apparatus of which the Democrat Party has now just become an arm of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But this “resistance” movement is not just the standard, ordinary political opposition where there are two players who respect the same authority. What we have here is one of the players who does not respect any of the authority that comes from the Constitution<\/a>. They don\u2019t respect the authority of the outcome of elections. And that\u2019s probably what opened your eyes and made you see it for something different than the way you\u2019ve been looking at it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Plus another thing too is I\u2019m almost beginning to look at the left as like kind of like a confrontational or rather almost like an anti-ideology. I think they would switch their entire agenda if it suited their purpose. You know, they create these absolutes like climate change, like all of a sudden there\u2019s no such thing as science or testing the theories anymore. It\u2019s almost like they\u2019re trying to bring us back to the Dark Ages when, you know, the earth was flat and the sun and the moon and the stars revolved around the earth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no. Wait a minute. Let try to correct you on this gently. That\u2019s the wrong way to look at them. You\u2019re giving them way too much credit for intelligence. The outcome, if they succeeded, that\u2019s exactly what would happen. They would destroy economic progress because that\u2019s what they\u2019re actually opposing. They\u2019re opposing technological progress, economic progress, societal progress. It is progress that upsets them. So when you say, “That would take us back to the Dark Ages.<\/p>\n

“That would take us back to the 17th Century. It would take us back to pre-electricity.” That\u2019s not what they want. That\u2019s not what they\u2019re thinking. They don\u2019t take it that far. All you have to do is look at California recently to find out how basically vacuous these people are. Victor Davis Hanson made this point recently. Let\u2019s take the four-last year California drought. All during that drought, what did the climate change people say? They said, “This is because of climate change!<\/p>\n

“This is the worst drought ever, and this drought is never going to end because this drought is the result of climate change! Since climate change is happening, and since climate change is destructive, and since climate change is horrible, then this is life in the future California!” Okay. So you have a bunch of people stating that they believe droughts in California is permanent. What do they do and not do? Well, in the first place, that is stupid and silly and absurd to think.<\/p>\n

Because if you look at the historical record, droughts in California generally have a duration of four to five years, and then something happens where they\u2019re either totally ended, you get enough rainfall to the replace whatever the four-year drought has created, or you get enough to reverse the trends of the drought. Now, what happened to the Oroville Dam during this period of time? It was clearly known that the Oroville Dam could not withstand what usually is a predictable amount of rain in a certain period of California.<\/p>\n

\"\"And they didn\u2019t do it because they didn\u2019t think it would be necessary because there was a drought that was never going to end. Then when the massive rains came, rains that were never predicted and global warming said would never happen — and then the floods came and the Oroville Dam, the spillover nearly didn\u2019t hold up — what did they do? They switched, and rather than recognize the peril that their policies had put everybody in, they immediately switched the argument to say that the end of the drought was due to climate change.<\/p>\n

“The drought ended because of the unpredictable nature of chaotic weather brought on by climate change!” The point is they had prevented the state from spending any money on infrastructure to deal with modernization and upkeep. Water and California are not natural. California has to import it; they have to buy it in most of the state. The Southern part of California is a dessert, is arid. They have to get water from other states or from Northern California. And if there isn\u2019t rain in the Sierra and snow in the Sierra and not natural runoff, there\u2019s trouble.<\/p>\n

Well, there always is. It may go three or four years. But the point is when this drought was happening, they believed it was permanent, but they didn\u2019t stop to think of the damage that was gonna result. They were too happy celebrating that they thought they were right about climate change and they were convincing people that they were right. But my point to you is the results, the actual results of their policies… In other words, taking us back to the dark age? They don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna have their iPhones and they\u2019re gonna get better every year and they\u2019re never gonna run out of bottled Poland Spring water or whatever. They\u2019re always gonna have what they want. They\u2019re the biggest short-sighted… Who are these people? They are mind-numbed robot liberals. They\u2019ve co-opted science. They\u2019ve turned science into a full-fledged, partisan political project. They destroy virtually everything they come in contact with, including the very things they claim they\u2019re trying to protect. And you can find these kinds of examples of how people enforcing adherence to climate change policy end up causing great damage.<\/p>\n

Because believing in the policy prevents doing things that modernize infrastructure on the theory we\u2019re not gonna need it. “It\u2019s never gonna rain here again! This is a drought caused by climate change, and since we can never say that climate change is going to stop, we can never say that climate change is going to take a pause, we can never say that it\u2019s gonna start getting cooler, we can never, therefore, say it\u2019s gonna rain.” But it\u2019s always gonna rain again. There are always gonna be storms and there\u2019s always gonna be floods in California.<\/p>\n

They may take four years to happen, 50, a hundred years. But there\u2019s always gonna be floods, always have been. But with these people in charge of that state, they\u2019re never prepared for anything, because they live in this permanent bubble that by stopping climate change, they\u2019re gonna be improving everything. In their minds, they\u2019re not taking everybody be back to the Dark Ages, pre-electricity and horse dung in the streets. They\u2019re improving life for everyone. That\u2019s how dangerous and stupid they believe these people are. But they happen to be elected to office. One of these lamebrains is the governor. The people of California have no chance as long as these people continue to run that state. You can see it deteriorating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
