Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Breathtaking!
You know, my friends, I've always told you there's another agenda behind the global warming hoax -- and that's socialism. Global warming-ism is an anti-capitalist ideology, rooted in the idea that America is too successful, too prosperous; that our prosperity must be curbed because it's supposedly harming the planet.
Well, on Wednesday, our former President Bill Clinton confirmed everything that I have said. Campaigning for his wife out in Denver, Clinton proclaimed: "Everybody knows that global warming is real." And he went on to declare that America and other "rich countries" should say: "Okay, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren. We could do that."
Yes, my friends: America should "slow down our economy" -- go into a recession! -- to serve a myth perpetuated by radical environmentalist-wackos with an anti-American, anti-capitalist worldview.
Now, this former President -- and candidate for another Clinton co-presidency -- has just suggested we deliberately hamper our economic standing in the world and cripple our economy for the sake of appeasing an unproven, scientifically flawed theory that has no basis in fact.
If we were to do what Bill Clinton suggests, millions of Americans would never be able to exercise their potential to prosper. It's a sabotage of the American Dream, a sabotage of America itself -- which would no longer be the superpower it is now, and all of us would have to turn to government for more and more. This kind of thinking is as dangerous as it is breathtaking. And it better open your eyes to what the Clinton mindset -- the liberal mindset -- really is.

All environmentalism is fundamentally Marxian.
Not throwing off on Rush, because this is exactly the kind of thing he's good at, but I always wonder why commentators like him shy away from using the terms "Marxist" and "Marxian." Socialism is just a softened form of Marxian ideas. Environmentalism is purely Marxian. The end result it seeks is control of all natural resources by the state. It is sheer collectivist group-think.
Maybe it's because the majority of people don't know what the terms mean. To be a successful communicator, one has to use lingo that the people will understand... The terms "Marxist" and "Marxian" isn't in most peoples vocabulary. I know I don't go around using those terms...

That's an oversimplification. What you are suggesting is that a communicator must dumb down. The great communicators of the past never did that. Reagan didn't even do that. He used the terms all the time.
I'll grant you that a communicator must know his audience, but if he modifies his speech so utterly that he fails to get his point across, what's the point of the communication? I'm not saying that Rush failed or fails to get his point across. To his audience, "socialism" is an emotionally charged word. Rush, as a propagandist, polemicist, and rhetorician uses emotional responses as the tools of his trade.
I have a niggling suspicion that commentators like Rush avoid the term because they tend to occasionally espouse Marxian ideas themselves. However, the more obvious answer is that using emotionally charged words is like using explosives. Too much and you end up blowing yourself up.
