RUSH: Listen to this. This is from London: ‘A leaked e-mail message has led to speculation that the British government plans to promote vegetarianism as part of a broader strategy to fight climate change. In a message sent earlier this year to a vegetarian lobbying group…\u2019 I told you these… Even the vegetarians are a bunch of activists. You have militant vegetarians, you do, and they\u2019re out there trying to force you to eat what they think you should. Like I said yesterday, ‘You want the biggest demonstration of the difference between liberals and conservatives, liberals want to control your life. Conservatives don\u2019t.\u2019 They want to live their own; you live your own. You stay within the bounds of the law, propriety, morality, no problem. You want to go buy a Prius, go buy a Prius, but don\u2019t tell me I have to buy one. You want to be a vegetarian, go be a vegetarian but don\u2019t tell me I have to be one. Don\u2019t try to force your wacko ways on us, and that\u2019s what liberals do. You\u2019re going to respond to the vegetarian lobby in the UK? And they are. The Environment Agency is responding to the vegetarian lobby. ‘The Environment Agency — a statutory body set up under a 1995 law — said it was considering ways to deal with global warming, one of which was to encourage people to eat less meat.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So here you have vegetarian activists who are doing everything they can to force the British government to force everybody else to eat the way they think they ought to eat, and they attach this so-called political connection to it. Save the planet. Global warming. ‘The agency said that it was unlikely that most people would swear off meat entirely and that the issue would have to be introduced ‘gently\u2019 for fear of alienating the public.\u2019 Really? Introduce it gently, like stealthfully do it? Stealthfully do it, introduce something so they don\u2019t notice it until it\u2019s too late? Fool the people? If you ‘don\u2019t want to alienate the public,\u2019 then don\u2019t do it! If you know it would alienate the public, don\u2019t do it! These people in Great Britain are elected, too. ‘The official who authored the e-mail message also wrote that the potential benefits to the climate of a vegan diet could be ‘very significant.\u2019 A vegan diet is one that shuns all meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products,\u2019 which leaves chocolate and wine. (interruption) Wait a minute, you eat fried cheese? Well, that\u2019s the vegan diet. Are you a vegan? Okay. ‘In recent years, vegetarian groups around the world have increasingly turned to the issue of climate change to promote their cause.\u2019 Well, I\u2019m sorry. The cause is not vegetarianism; the cause is liberalism. The cause is huge government! The cause is controlling your life, and it\u2019s the same thing with every other supposed issue.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the environment, whether it\u2019s global warming, whether it\u2019s animal rights or it\u2019s feminism, it\u2019s liberalism, and it is designed to control you, and they do it by making you feel that you\u2019re sinning against a religion. Go out and eat beef, why, you\u2019re destroying rain forests and all that sort of stuff — and of course you don\u2019t want to do that. You want to make difference. So you start eating this vegan stuff, and you look sick after not too long a time. Yes. ‘In recent years, vegetarian groups around the world have been…\u2019 Nothing against vegetarians. See, this is my point. I don\u2019t care what you eat. Just stay outta my life. Don\u2019t tell me I have to eat it, if you\u2019re a vegetarian activist, if you are a militant vegetarian. Hell, these people tried to get, what, a Burger King out in Berkeley to serve these soy burgers? Hey, if you don\u2019t like Burger King, don\u2019t go there, but don\u2019t make them sell stuff that that\u2019s not what they\u2019re in business to do! The city council passed a resolution. It\u2019s about control, folks. It\u2019s not about ‘the climate.\u2019 It\u2019s not about ‘women\u2019s rights.\u2019 It\u2019s not about any of this. It\u2019s about control. <\/p>\n

Big government: a bunch people that refuse to hang around anybody who doesn\u2019t live life the exact way they do because they\u2019re these superiorist elitists who think they have all the answers. Growing livestock and so forth ‘produces large amounts of carbon dioxide,\u2019 which is not a pollutant, ‘and methane,\u2019 these are greenhouse gases, ‘blamed for global warming.\u2019 It\u2019s not definitely proved to cause it, just ‘blamed.\u2019 So another angle of global warming, another method to control all aspects of our lives — and that\u2019s what this immigration bill is. See, I wish everybody could react to liberalism the way they\u2019re reacting to this immigration bill. You know they\u2019re lying to you. You know they\u2019re not telling you the truth. You know you can\u2019t trust what they\u2019re saying on this. Well, please, pray tell, ladies and gentlemen, have the same reaction when you hear Algore narrate his idiotic, lying-through-his-teeth-movie or when you hear any other liberal activist talk about Abu Ghraib or the US military or whatever. Do you realize — we have these Gore sound bites; we\u2019ve linked to them on RushLimbaugh.com — without exception, if you wait long enough, everything a liberal tells you will be wrong? Without exception, if you just wait patiently for the truth to reveal itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
