RUSH: So I checked the email during the break, and a very astute emailer said: “Wait a minute, Rush, I think Trump does get ideology. He’s opposed to climate change.” That’s an excellent observation. Trump is opposed to climate change, but not because he understands it’s a liberal idea. He’s opposed to it on — well, let’s review what he said. Trump has said that climate change is a hoax hatched by the ChiComs to make American businesses less competitive.
Now, that’s not what climate change is. That is one of the results. The origins of climate change are 100, 1,000 percent in socialism, liberalism, communism. Militant environmentalism became the new home for displaced communists when the Soviet Union imploded when the Berlin Wall fell. Climate change, global warming, whatever, the reason that I am so opposed to it, the reason that I have probably spent way too much time talking about it and many of you probably, “Could you move on?” every time I bring it up, is because everything that is wrong with liberalism is encapsulated in climate change.
Everything, every danger, every choke point, every potential item of destruction of everything we believe in, is encapsulated in climate change, from the ideology to the lies to the funding to the lies and the distortions to the takeover of science by politicians and politics. This is why I’ve always objected when our so-called scientists object to climate change with their own science which attempts to debunk the science of the globe, theirs is not about science. Climate change has nothing to do with science.
It’s fooled all kinds of Millennials and all kinds of tech gurus and all kinds of other lazy people into believing climate change is about science and actually about climate, but it isn’t. It’s about the erosion of freedom; it’s about the expansion of government; it’s about the expansion of government control; it is about politicizing science and being able to take every aspect of science over and reconstruct it for political purposes to serve the agenda of the left, which in this country is the Democrat Party. There isn’t any science. If science were the sole factor in climate change, it would have been debunked as a hoax already.
