Drinking the Conservative Kool Aid
RUSH LIMBAUGH, may he rest in peace if he can, did not mince words. He abused them for purposes of near constant prevarication, but he didn't mince them. Unequivocally he insisted to his tens of millions of sycophantic radio listeners that climate change is and will forevver be a liberal hoax, with possible Chinese accomplices. Its purpose, insisted the inhaler of strong cigars in a small unventilated room, was to accrue more power to the government by fabricating a purely mental emergency. The paranoia of the mentally unstable.Just Like they believe Trump's constant cascade of convenient lies, they believed El Rushbo's, and, more tragic still, still do. A majority of American conservatives, and presumably conservatives worldwide, still refuse to accept the blatantly encroaching of climate change by human carbon atmospheric poisoning. Now they are amending their nonsense, claiming that only mother nature changes the climate, without any possibility of human interference, because, as Limbaugh said, humanity is far too puny in the face of mighty mother nature to have even the slighest impact on her. Rush and his benighted crew were and are evidently without access to photographs of forests turned into concrete, rivers on fire, large lakes filled with dead, rotting poisoned fish. In our modern era of environmental devastation, land, water, and air, the smug conservatve community, virulantly resistant to all progress because progress rrequires change, the EPA is made impotent by their malign legislation, the continued burning of fossil fuels is encouraged and celebrated in the name of corporate profit and rising stock prices, and progressive legislation to address and finally attack climate change is resisted like the defenders at the Alamo fought to the death against the army of Santa Anna. Two decades after the U.S. Department of Defense told us that climate change caused by humanity industrial activity is the single greatest threat to American national security, right wing America refuses to take up arms against a rising sea of climatic troubles. What does one call people who refuse to defend their country against its most destructive enemy? Does teh word "traitor" ring a bell? It not, it should. Nonoby should tkae joy that Rush Limbaug is dead. They should simply sip a abit of champagne and soke a mild cigar in a well ventilated room that he no longer spews his multifaceted verbal poison.Concerning the staunch conservative defenders of an unchanged fossil fule economy? May they suffer the same fate as the brave defenders of the Alamo.
