Did you know that? The life expectancy in America is getting shorter despite all the advances in health and prosperity. That is being chalked up to the opioid crisis.<\/p>\n<p>But the birthrate replacement levels, the simple way to define that is the birthrate replacement level is enough babies are born every year to maintain your country\u2019s population. The ideal is population growth. Population growth equals economic growth. If a large percentage of the newly born will end up working as adults rather than becoming dependents, which is what the Democrats want for newborns, hence they try to get hold of \u2019em as early as day care, kindergarten and all that and start conditioning them for their future role as dependent Democrat voters.<\/p>\n<p>So what the New York Times has done, they see the birthrate replacement level is below normal. And they have fought to combine another issue with that fact to push that issue, and that is climate change. So what the New York Times wants you to believe is the U.S. birthrate replacement level is below normal because people are unwilling to bring children into the world because the world is soon gonna be destroyed or uninhabitable. And who, what responsible, compassionate adult would want to bring into the world that isn\u2019t gonna be there in 20 years or 30 a child?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The New York Times reports that some would-be parents are actively avoiding having children because they believe an &#8216;exploding\u2019 human population is contributing to climate change &#8212; and they want no part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but my whole life I have heard people say, &#8220;I wouldn\u2019t have kids today. I wouldn\u2019t bring a kid into this world.&#8221; And then those people go out and have kids. I think it\u2019s nothing unique to come across a generation which has in it a certain number of people who think that it would be silly to have kids because the world is so dangerous, in such rotten shape, the future is so bleak that it would be inhumane. Every generation has people that say this and think it, and yet they go out and they become parents.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some pull quotes from this piece. &#8220;A dozen interviews with nervous environmentalists, the NYT found that women are going on birth control and men are practicing celibacy &#8211;&#8221; Wait. Somebody needs to help me here. How does one practice celibacy? By not engaging in it. That\u2019s how you practice? But what are you practicing for? Like Churchill was once asked, &#8220;How can you have a glass of champagne with breakfast every day?&#8221; He said, &#8220;Practice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>So how do you practice &#8212; the Patriots, they practice football every day. How do you practice celibacy? You just don\u2019t do it. Is there an expertise in it you have to achieve? Okay. So what they\u2019re saying here, they\u2019re not actually practicing it; they\u2019re engaging in it, right? Okay. So the New York Times found that &#8220;women are going on birth control, and men are being celibate just so they don\u2019t have to live with the guilt that they brought about environmental ruin.&#8221; And I firmly believe that there are a whole bunch of liberals that actually think this. And you should too. You should not doubt this.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, they have been raised on this.&nbsp; They\u2019ve been taught this starting with Saturday Morning Cartoons all the way into preschool, into junior high school, middle class, high school. They have been preached to that humanity is what\u2019s destroying the planet.&nbsp; In the old Rush to Excellence Tours back in the late eighties and early nineties, this was a feature of every stage performance I did, to focus on some of the outrageous things the environmentalist wackos were saying about, &#8220;The way to save this planet is to get rid of the people!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That humanity is the greatest threat the planet knows, as though the planet cannot survive with one of God\u2019s creations: Human beings.&nbsp; This has been something that the left, the environmentalist wackos have been drumming into young skulls full of mush for as long as I\u2019ve been doing this radio program.&nbsp; So it\u2019s not a surprise to me that people who\u2019ve heard this have now become adults and literally believe it and are living their lives accordingly.&nbsp; This is the damage that liberalism does!<\/p>\n<p>This is how this intricate web of deceit gets woven throughout the fabric of our society in unwitting &#8212; otherwise good, innocent &#8212; people end up believing a bunch of tripe that they have been taught day in and day out their whole lives.&nbsp; And for them it\u2019s become an article of faith and almost a matter of religion.&nbsp; They are saving the planet.&nbsp; This is how these people are recruited!&nbsp; They\u2019re first blamed as being humans. &#8220;Humans destroy the planet! Humans destroying plant life. Humans destroying animals. Humans this and that. Humans destroying the climate and the environment with pollution, SUVs,&#8221; and redemption is always offered.<\/p>\n<p>You can always redeem yourself for these sins that you have committed, and the first way is subscribe to the climate change theory, then vote Democrat, then donate Democrat, then support Big Government, and then support all policies designed to punish people who don\u2019t believe in it.&nbsp; And that\u2019s how this all happens.&nbsp; And it happens on every issue they\u2019ve got from feminism to environmentalism.&nbsp; We\u2019re seeing this same kind of belief the way they have drummed up this belief that Trump cheated with Russia on the election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-57078\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushPanic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"585\"><\/p>\n<p>This is not just something that they started accusing Trump of&#8230; Well, they did just start accusing Trump of it. But the premise behind this is that Republicans and conservatives are illegitimate and cheat. This is stuff that has been poured into people\u2019s heads in the education system for years so that when they need to use it, all they need to do is say, &#8220;Trump colluded with Putin,&#8221; and automatically a third of the country believes it!&nbsp; Because they have been conditioned and taught their whole lives that Republicans\/conservatives are evil and everything else that they teach about conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>And this is how&#8230; This is why the left has deemed it so important to own pop culture, because this is where habits are formed.&nbsp; This is where lifelong beliefs are imprinted, and they are imprinted daily on people\u2019s lives from very young age, and they just grow up believing this stuff.&nbsp; So now we\u2019ve gotten to the point where a lot of people believe that they don\u2019t want the guilt of having done anything that might make the planet uninhabitable.<\/p>\n<p>And if they believe what they\u2019ve been taught about Paul Ehrlich and The Population Bomb &#8212; which has been demonstrated to be wrong on every prediction it made. This is the thing that\u2019s so frustrating for us, for me, is that everything they believe &#8212; everything! Everything they believe is a lie. Everything they believe is the result of a political-agenda campaign, and they buy it hook, line, and sinker.&nbsp; And you can\u2019t talk them out of it because it\u2019s become an emotional, almost religious part of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to the [New York Times], the couples have varying approaches to their childlessness, but all believe that it\u2019s best&#8230;&#8221; Get this. &#8220;According to the [New York Times], the couples&#8221; here who admit to not having kids to save the planet &#8220;believe that it\u2019s best humanity end its run, so as to prevent rising tides and melting [north and south] poles &#8212; and the [New York Times] reporter nods approvingly&#8221; and writes approvingly of what these people say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[H]aving a child is one of the costliest actions they can take environmentally.&#8221;&nbsp; It\u2019s right there in the New York Times story.&nbsp; &#8220;[H]aving a child is one of the costliest actions they can take environmentally.&#8221; The people interviewed by the New York Times believe it is best that humanity cease to exist.&nbsp; Not an exaggeration.&nbsp; &#8220;One woman, who is on birth control in order to speed the slow self-destruction of the human species&#8230;&#8221; Stop and think: Here\u2019s a woman seeking redemption. She has accepted the guilt and the blame that the media and the left has accused her of for destroying the planet, destroying the climate.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s accepted that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-263267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020618-Baby-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020618-Baby-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020618-Baby.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>She\u2019s now on her redemption path, and she\u2019s now on birth control.&nbsp; Her redemption, her attempt at being absolved of the sin is to go &#8220;on birth control in order to speed the slow self-destruction of the human species.&#8221; She has been told and she accepts it and she is contributing it. Therefore she\u2019s considers her life to be meaningful, that she is helping bring about the end of the human species by being unable to have children.&nbsp; But it\u2019s worse than that.&nbsp; This woman who\u2019s being quoted here says children &#8220;are not &#8216;congruent with a stable society.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[S]he fears any kids she might have would be doomed to wander the deserts of a Mad Max-style dystopia, where children fight in Thunderdomes for cans of food.&#8221;&nbsp; She\u2019s seen it in a movie. She\u2019s been told this is where we\u2019re headed by people that she trusts. So her contribution to saving the planet is to not have kids.&nbsp; She said this, folks.&nbsp; I\u2019m not making this up.&nbsp; And the New York Times proudly, happily printed it!&nbsp; &#8220;There is even a group called &#8216;Conceivable Future\u2019 which organizes childless house parties where deeply concerned environmentalists can share their dire predictions for a horrifying future, and where they can pat each other on the back for the &#8216;life-saving\u2019 and &#8216;future altering\u2019 decision to avoid&#8221; having kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They have been preached to that humanity is what&#039;s destroying the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":263267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
