TODD: The same left that is teaching our kids that heroin and fentanyl are all good and we\u2019re gonna legalize that and showing by example, they\u2019re still obsessing with banning sugar. They\u2019re still doing this. Just look at the comparison of these things. They\u2019re still obsessing with this. As longtime students of the Limbaugh Institute know, Rush was particularly annoyed by food cops, and he had a way of eating their own lunch for them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There are very few times, ladies and gentlemen, where I think — and have thought, in the 20-plus years I\u2019ve hosted this program — that I\u2019m wasting my time. But I\u2019m on the brink of thinking, “If I\u2019ve got to explain sugar to people, I\u2019m wasting my time,” and then I realized, “No, you\u2019re not wasting your time,\u2019 and that\u2019s even more depressing. I found a piece here by a blogger named Laurie Beebe at EzineArticles.com, Ezine Articles.<\/p>\n

\"\"At any rate… “When did sugar start getting such a bad rap? Unlike many herbs and supplements which are touted for being ‘safe and healthy because they are natural\u2019, people forget that sugar comes from the sugar cane plant, or from sugar beets…\u2019 Sugar is as natural as your favorite herb. ‘In a survey where people were asked ‘How many calories are in a teaspoon of sugar?\u2019 the answers went as high as 200 calories or more.” Do you know how many calories are in a teaspoon of sugar? (drumming fingers) Sixteen. (snorts) How the hell did you know this, Snerdley? You knew it? Rachel knew it.<\/p>\n

There are sixteen calories in a teaspoon of sugar. “So how did it get a reputation for being fattening, causing diabetes, and contributing to the obesity epidemic? A glass of orange juice,” which is loaded with sugar! Orange juice from the tree, loaded with sugar. Drink that, and you\u2019ll nullify it if you happen to take too much insulin. Look, I\u2019m not a doctor on this stuff. I just know that anything is getting a bad rap. But the reason we\u2019re talking about this is because the United States Senate is going to start taxing drinks that have sugar in it, and this is nothing more than the left\u2019s attempt to establish guilty behavior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The reason they\u2019re going to tax sugar, they tell you, is because they want to improve your lifestyle. They want you to stop eating it so you get healthier. That\u2019s not why! It\u2019s because sugar is in everything. And once you start taxing Coke and Gatorade and Pepsi and 7-Up and Sprite and all these other things, then you can start taxing doughnuts and everything else that\u2019s got sugar in it. It\u2019s just an excuse to tax people. Take the sugar out of it and they\u2019re coming at it the same way they come at everybody — I\u2019ve been watching some idiot on television just now during the break,<\/p>\n

“Yes, we must raise this tax on sugar so that we make people healthier and lower our health care costs.” Well, of course, who doesn\u2019t want lower costs on everything and who doesn\u2019t want healthier people? Okay, fine, so we\u2019ll just raise taxes. It\u2019s just increases in taxes, and they\u2019re going to find ways to increase them left and right no matter where you go and what you do. And they\u2019re going to justify it at every turn on making it better for you, you don\u2019t even know what\u2019s good enough for yourself, but these people care about you, and they\u2019re going to make it better for you to live in America. These people are trying to take away as much liberty and freedom as they possibly can to control as much of your life as possible.<\/p>\n

TODD: And how they graduated. Now you have cities — I kid you not — where they\u2019re going to demand… They\u2019re already doing it. They\u2019ll demand that the taxpayers take in the money you pay for drinking a soda pop, and they use it to distribute free heroin. I am not joking. This program is information. Let\u2019s use it as power and tell your friends, “Are you okay paying taxes so people can take heroin?” Right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
