Scientist: Jail Global Warming Deniers
RUSH: In thinking typical of Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, liberals are authoritarianists and they are in the business of denying freedom. "David Suzuki has called for political leaders to be thrown in jail for ignoring the science behind climate change. At a Montreal conference last Thursday, the prominent scientist, broadcaster and Order of Canada recipient exhorted a packed house of 600 to hold politicians legally accountable for what he called an intergenerational crime. Though a spokesman said yesterday the call for imprisonment was not meant to be taken literally, Dr. Suzuki reportedly made similar remarks in an address at the University of Toronto last month." Yes, I'm afraid he did. And get this. He wants to take decisions on global warming in government away from politicians and put it in the hands of scientists, who, of course, are not governed by politics, are they? This is what liberals do. This is who they are. They're telling us every day.

Biofuels Cause Global Warming
Ethanol, Biofuels Cause Global Warming
RUSH: This is all over the news today, by the way. It's in the New York Times, do you know that ethanol and biofuels now are causing global warming? "Converting land for biofuel worsens global warming." Yes, it's true, thank you, liberals. "Clearing raw land to produce biofuels actually contributes to global warming by emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, researchers have warned."

Ice Age Approaches
Warming Over: Ice Age Approaches
RUSH: From the Investor's Business Daily editorial page: "Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical 'consensus.'" Scientists are now worried about a new Ice Age because the sun's activity is slowing down. Sun activity is cyclical. We have always maintained on this program as commonsense scientists that the sun has to be the predominant factor in global warming. "Kenneth Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada's National Research Council, is among those looking at the sun for evidence of an increase in sunspot activity. Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century. Such an event occurred in the 17th century. The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun, with little or no 11-year cycle. This solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted, with intermittent spikes of warming, until 1715. Frigid winters and cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine and death in Northern Europe."

The Archbishop of Canterbury Loses It
The Archbishop of Canterbury Loses It
RUSH: Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury is losing it. This is the guy who first cast doubts on the whole concept of the still star over Bethlehem around Christmastime, and then began talking about, "Well, you don't really need to believe in the resurrection to be a Christian." Yes, you do. Now, have you heard about this? This guy is back. The Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday that "the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is unavoidable and that it would help social cohesion. Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4's World One that the UK has to 'face up to the fact' that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system. Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court. He added that Muslims should not have to choose between the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty. He said there was a place for finding a constructive accommodation in areas such as marriage, allowing Muslim women to avoid western divorce proceedings." This is what you get when you have unchecked, unbridled liberalism. By the way, this is liberalism disguised as an archbishop, as a religious figure. Liberals will give away the culture and the freedom of Western democracies. They will give it away, for whatever reasons, who cares; all you need to know is they will give it away. And people like this, Rowan Williams, are not isolated, they're not alone. There are lots of these kinds of people who think this way in this country.

RUSH: In the Drive-By Media today -- and we did a careful perusal here during show prep, and all of a sudden, within 24 hours, it's not Limbaugh versus McCain anymore. There are some references to me in fact having lost to McCain again and so forth, but they're very hard to find. Instead now.... Like here's the Associated Press, a story by Libby Quaid. It's no longer Limbaugh versus McCain. It's the issues. After McCain's got it sewn up, now the Drive-Bys are telling everybody about the issue problems that conservatives had with Senator McCain; some may still have.
"While Republican John McCain is urging his conservative critics to rally around his presidential campaign, there is a lot of water under that bridge. Here are the top-ten reasons some conservatives dislike [McCain]: 1. Campaign finance reform. ... 2. Immigration. ... 3. Tax cuts. ... 4. Gay marriage. ... 5. Stem cell research. ... 6. Global warming. ... 7. Gang of 14. 8. Kerry," and the vice presidential thing, "9. Works with Democrats. ... 10. Belligerence." Fine and dandy. Where was this before McCain got the nomination, or before he became the presumptive nominee? Prior to that, it was Limbaugh versus McCain. It wasn't even Romney versus McCain! Now that McCain's the presumptive nominee, the Drive-Bys, all of a sudden, start telling people what McCain's deficiencies are. This is the first step in the reporting of the record. Now here's Libby Quaid, again, in a different AP story. This is about all of McCain's missed votes! Now the AP is going into an attack mode on McCain. "Republican presidential front-runner John McCain has skipped more than half the Senate's votes in the past year, but he showed up Thursday to help pass a bill to stimulate the faltering economy," which, by the way... At CPAC yesterday, Senator McCain was going on and on and on about busting the budget. No more pork! No more earmarks! We're going to have the government smaller -- and then he shows up to vote for the stimulus package.
Look, there's nothing we can do to stop this, ladies and gentlemen. The stimulus package is what it is. I think they did eliminate the stimulus checks to the illegals, but they've added seasoned citizens and who? Disabled vets. Right. They pulled it back to the limits in the House. The upper income people are not going to get anything. So, no, I'm not going to get a check. You're not going to get a check, Snerdley. You're not going to get a check, Dawn. Brian, even you are not going to get a check. I know many of you who are going to get checks would love to thank me and all the rest of us who aren't getting checks because we're paying for your checks, but don't thank me. Don't thank Snerdley. Don't thank any of us for the $300, $600, or $1200 you're going to get because I had no say in the matter. Your Congress either wants to save the economy or save their seats, and I guarantee you it's the latter. I don't want to begrudge those of you who are going to be getting your checks, the socialist gift of the month, and I and Snerdley and Dawn and Brian, all the rest of us who are not going to get checks; we have no choice whether to pay you your checks or not, but I do wish -- I really, for once, I wish -- the government would be decent and send the checks out under my name and Snerdley's name. I wish, if you're getting a stimulus check, it would say, "Courtesy of Rush Limbaugh," or, "This check courtesy of Bo Snerdley," not your federal government, but us. Just once.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: It's attack time in the Drive-Bys. This story talks about all the votes that McCain missed. "After a speech appealing to conservative activists who have largely shunned his candidacy, McCain voted with 32 other Senate Republicans to pass the stimulus package. Almost every Republican lined up to shake his hand and congratulate him, who only a few hours earlier sealed his hold on the GOP presidential nomination, by suggesting he was going to be a big budget cutter and pork buster." Now, this is the kind of thing you better get ready for, folks. This is just the first of the stream. It's going to start very mild, but now that he's the presumptive nominee, the Drive-Bys are going to start their little hits, their little attack time. "One senator stayed seated and didn't come to the well to vote until McCain had left the Senate's center aisle: Larry Craig of Idaho, who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct last year. 'It's very hard, obviously. I've missed a lot of votes, and there's no doubt about it,' said McCain, during a flight from Phoenix to Washington. ... Obama and Clinton have missed fewer votes than Senator McCain." I'm reading from the AP here, folks. We're not being critical of Senator McCain. We're just telling you what the AP is saying. Obama's missed about 40%, Clinton's missed 24%, McCain has missed a larger percentage of votes than that.
What's the next story here? Oh, yeah. "McCain Not Yet Energizing Conservatives." Jim Kuhnhenn, the Associated Press. "Amid the cheers, there were boos. Placards denounced McCain's past support for changes in immigration policies. In the halls, public and private arguments erupted over his candidacy. McCain has angered conservatives over the years--" whoa, what's that? McCain has angered conservatives? I thought he just angered talk show hosts. Am I reading this right? The Associated Press says McCain has angered conservatives over the years. I could have sworn, I mean, the last two weeks it was only talk show hosts that didn't like Senator McCain, or been angered by him. Let's see, the next one in this stack of stuff. Now, this is interesting. Ralph Reed, "So he's walking a very fine line. But in a closely fought, competitive campaign that I think will be decided by a few points, Senator McCain is going to need the conservative grassroots of the party in the boat." Really? Well, I know I've said that, but that's not what the Drive-Bys have been saying. The Drive-Bys have been saying that he doesn't need conservatives, that he's going to get in moderates and independents and so forth. And then there's this. Liz Sidoti, AP: "That leaves McCain, whose independent streak rankles many in the Republican rank-and-file--" Wait. I thought McCain's independent streak only angered talk show hosts? What's happening here in the Drive-By Media? All of a sudden now that leaves McCain, whose independent streak rankles many in the Republican rank-and-file?
I thought it was just these extremist kook conservatives like me and the talk show hosts that McCain rankled? Anyway, just get ready for this, folks, because I warned you about it. Nothing that you can't deal with. I'm just telling you where the Drive-Bys' hearts and minds lie, and you will see it very subtly, as I have pointed out to you here, at first, but then it will expand and it will confound and it will be amplified even more.

The Dangers of Liberation Theology
The Dangers of Liberation Theology: "Gutierrez is probably the most famous. His book, A Theology of Liberation, published in Spanish in 1971, remains the classic expression available in English. A Catholic priest and theology professor in the Catholic University of Lima, Peru, Gutierrez was influenced by Camilo Torres, the Colombian priest who left the Church to join Communist guerrillas warring against the Colombian government. The Colombian army killed Torres in a mountain shoot-out, but his belief lives on in the writings of men like Gutierrez. He taught that the only path for concrete expression of Christian love for Latin America's oppressed lies in joining the Marxist revolution."
The Dangers of Liberation Theology: "In his books Gutierrez argues for Marxism’s superiority over all other philosophies and systems, universal salvation (the belief that everyone will be saved), God’s presence in the modern revolutionary movement, and the need for the church to work toward securing justice and social well-being for the oppressed."

Uruguayan Emilio Castro directs the Commission of World Mission and Evangelization of the World Council of Churches. More strategist than theologian, Dr. Castro stresses the need for participation in what he regards as the inevitable revolution in Latin America. As a universalist, he sees recruitment of people for involvement in bettering social conditions to be the primary task of the church, not evangelism as traditional evangelists teach. God works through Marxist revolution to bring all men together in Jesus Christ, he claims.
Jose Miguez Bonino is one of the most widely published liberation theologians in the world today, especially in English. He has written more than twelve books and sixty articles on the subject. From Argentina, he began his ministry as a Methodist pastor and was elected to the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches in 1975. Miguez believes that Marxism is the only scientific method to understand poverty and oppression. He also believes that Marxism offers the best way to express Christian love in modern society. He advocates violence for toppling repressive Latin American governments.

The Life and Death of Democracy
The Life and Death of Democracy
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new
constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."
"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years."
"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1 from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase
of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. ----------
