TODD: The left is better than Republicans at a thing called “the brand hanger.” This is where you take a known item, and you wrap yourself around it. It\u2019s a Madison Avenue thing. So, they\u2019ll take a word like “justice,” and it\u2019s meaningless the way they say it, but it\u2019s such a beautiful word. Just a little trick. When people speak of justice, say, “I\u2019m sorry. For whom?”<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t change the mind of a cultist on the left, but it can get other people around you thinking, “Yeah, but justice for whom?” They\u2019ve done this with the word “sustainability,” and it\u2019s a magic word to them, and it should surprise none of us that it was Rush who found this one single word — it\u2019s a key leftists use, and they\u2019re shills — to manipulate the emotions of all too many Millennials.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this stuff, you know, I have been concerned. I love America! I want it to continue to be the greatest place on earth. I want everybody in this country to be able to maximize the opportunity that liberty and freedom give them. And it\u2019s liberty and freedom that are under assault by these people that are demanding conformity, in speech, in behavior, demanding conformity in acceptance.<\/p>\n

And we see it manifesting itself. It\u2019s the climate change left that is keeping people poor. Let\u2019s take an imaginary African country. Let\u2019s call it San Cordoba. And San Cordoba has a per capita income of $14 a week. And the people that live there are in absolute poverty, and their government is a tyranny. They\u2019ve got some general that\u2019s the president and the commandante or whatever, and the people just have nothing.<\/p>\n

But somebody discovers oil, somebody discovers a big pool of oil underneath San Cordoba. What does Greenpeace do, what does Algore do, what do the environmentalist wackos do? They come in there and they forbid them from getting it, because getting it will pollute, getting it will destroy, will upset the ecobalance in the ocean or off the coast of San Cordoba.<\/p>\n

And so the means of a rising standard of living and a country coming out of poverty will be unavailable to them because powerful forces, the UN will be in there demanding that San Cordoba — because they\u2019re trying to phase out fossil fuels. Have you seen all these automobile manufacturers now promising — who was it, Aston Martin said by 2030 or 2040 they won\u2019t have any more internal combustion engine cars, and that caused an avalanche of other companies announcing the same thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the first place, it\u2019s asinine. It\u2019s simply asinine and they\u2019re believing a market for these things exist that doesn\u2019t. If people that bought Teslas and Priuses weren\u2019t subsidized to buy them, do you think they\u2019d be selling the way they are? If the government wasn\u2019t subsidizing Tesla to the tune of $5 billion, do you think they\u2019d be making as many as they are?<\/p>\n

The market may be there for them someday, but the market isn\u2019t there. It\u2019s being forced on us under the belief that the internal combustion engine is destroying the climate and thus destroying the world. And that leads to Stephen Hawking and these other clowns saying we gotta abandon earth if we\u2019re gonna survive, we gotta colonize and asteroid or Mars.<\/p>\n

Folks, we aren\u2019t close to even go back to the Moon, much less going to Mars and colonizing! We\u2019re not even close to this! But kids are being educated with this. It\u2019s being inculcated, it\u2019s being forced into them, and they all believe this stuff. And it\u2019s gonna have to an impact as they grow older. I mean, some of the things they are being taught actually is near criminal.<\/p>\n

The internal combustion engine and the discovery and market uses of petroleum products, the free flow of oil at market prices has been the difference maker. We have done a better job of any nation in the world cleaning up our messes in terms of our pollution and so forth. And to tell people that this, the primary fuel and engine of prosperity is a culprit in destroying the planet is near criminal, but it continues apace.<\/p>\n

So these kids grow up and then they go to college and they get degrees in PR or marketing, advertising, and then they get hired. And you get a story like this. This is from the BusinessInsider.com. It\u2019s out of London. “M&M\u2019s Are Going to Promote Wind Power in a New TV Ad Campaign — Chocolate brand M&M\u2019s will promote wind power in a global advertising campaign set to run later this year and into 2018.” Hang on. “Chocolate and pet food giant Mars Inc.” they own M&M\u2019s “this week announced a $1 billion” wait for it, here\u2019s the word: “sustainability.”<\/p>\n
