RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I just got a flash email the upshot of which is that the Green New Deal has been taken off line. The Green New Deal and now the number of Democrats that have signed onto this folly, this insanity, this impractical, impossible list of proposals is 70. Seventy Democrats have signed on to endorse it. But apparently you cant find it online. It has been pulled down.
I know some people think that this whole thing is actually a Republican created hoax on the Democrats. I would love that if it is true. Im not so closed-minded that I wouldnt except I know that the people behind this actually do believe everything that they wrote in it. But its purpose may be something else or something in addition to actually detailing the agenda. But regardless, you cant find it. Elements of it have been taken down now because supposedly it doesnt stand the test of anything.

RUSH: Now, if thats true, if the Green New Deal is in the process of being taken down and you cant find it online, then somebody needs to be asking what role Nancy Pelosi is playing in it. Because I am here to tell you, Pelosi puts together this committee to deal with climate change and she doesnt even put Cortez on it? This is simply a committee where she can park a bunch of these young radicals to do a bunch of nothing while they think theyre doing something. She didnt even put Cortez on it. Thats how seriously shes taking Cortez and the committee.
But Pelosi and some of the aging Jurassic Park members of the Democrat leadership in the House would full-well understand how the Green New Deal would lead to their landslide defeat. Yet all of these Democrats just signed on to it without even reading it, without even thinking about it, and four of the Democrat presidential contenders signed onto it immediately and then begged to cosponsor the thing. If we play our cards right, these people are gonna be sitting ducks, and I actually think and I dont want to say this too loud, loudly.
But I actually think that starting with the State of the Union speech But even before that. But I think, and I really want you to You didnt hear this from me. If you want to tell other people, you know, you claim ownership. But I really think Well never see evidence of this cause the Drive-Bys arent gonna do it. But I think Donald Trump and just his existence and the way he sticks to his agenda and that speech I think Democrat Partys actual imploding, folks. Now, it doesnt mean Im not taking em seriously as a threat, but this is insanity.
Everything theyre promoting and talking about, its literal insanity on parade. Its frightening, because theres a whole lot of Democrats around this country that love it, sign onto it. But its nowhere near a majority. This is McGovernism. McGovern 72. Look it up. They lost in a landslide to Richard Nixon. Then Watergate came and they got rid of Nixon. But McGovern took this party down to Pshew! If it hadnt been for Watergate, they may not have yet recovered to this day, was how deeply depressed was their defeat in 72. And it was much the same kind
The radicalness of that day was identical to what the radicalness of this day is. Different issues, but the same kind of literal insanity and Trump is driving them insane. I think Trump is showing Republican Party how to finally render these people irrelevant. Well, irrelevant. They have too many judges to be irrelevant. But whats great about it is that all this while they think theyre winning and winning big and theyre on the verge of getting rid of Trump. There has never been this many people living under such giant delusions as todays Democrat Party and all of their acolyte, brain-dead supporters. But (sigh) you dont want to say too loud to too many people.
You dont want to give up the ghost.

RUSH: Castroville, Texas, next. This is Liz.
CALLER: Hi, how are you, Rush?
RUSH: Im good. How are you?
CALLER: Im doing good. Hey, I think we should all just print up a whole bunch of fake money, put it in an envelope, write on there Green New Deal, and send it to Ocasio-Cortezs office. (laughing)
RUSH: You know what? You reminded me. I got an email. I meant to mention this a moment ago. I got an email. Let me get this email. Mr. Limbaugh, what if President Trump adopted the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez money policy for spending money on things he wants? What if Donald Trump just said, I dont need to talk to Congress about a wall; Im just gonna print however much money it takes to build the damn thing!
I dont need a grant. I dont need to raise taxes. Im just gonna print the money and Im gonna use it to build a wall, and then Im gonna use it to do' whatever else he wants to do? Look, if they dont have to prove fiscal responsibility if they can sit there and propose literal insanity and say, Well, where the money comes from doesnt matter. Were gonna tax the rich, and if were short, well print some.
Because the moral requirements for what we want to do are so great, to be worried about what it costs is not necessary. Worrying about what this costs, says Cortez, is to miss the point. These are moral imperatives. What if Trump would just adopt that same way of thinking? Go out and say hes gonna build the wall, and if he has to print the money, hell print the money. Just echo Cortez. Just echo what these people are saying and check the reaction to it.
You know full well what it would be.
Here. Grab sound bite No. 25. This is Spartacus, Cory Booker. He cant wait to get in on the Green New Deal, which you now cannot find. This was today in Mason City, Iowa, as Spartacus (Snort!) You talk about dreams? You talk about fantasies? This guy actually thinks that he can bounce off this gigantic failure as a mayor of Newark and parlay that into the presidency.
This is what he said in Iowa
BOOKER: Our planet is in peril, and we need to be bold. Theres a lot of people now that are blowin back on the Green New Deal. Theyre like, Oh, its impractical. Oh, its too expensive. Oh, its all of this. If we used to govern our dreams that way, we would never gone to the Moon. God, thats impractical. You see that ball in the sky? Thats impractical.
FOLLOWERS: (laughing)
BOOKER: When the planet has been in peril in the past, who came forward to save earth from the scourge of Nazi and totalitarian regimes? We came forward! Who came forward to save the planet from or continent from financial ruin? We came forward with the Marshall Plan. Our history is standing up and saying, Look, humanity is in crisis; America is going to be a light and the hope.
RUSH: Uh, this guys an idiot, folks. How else do you characterize this? If we used to govern our dreams that way we would have never gone to the Moon, God, thats impractical. That ball in the sky, thats impractical. When the planet has been in peril in the past, who came forward to save earth from the Nazis? Hey, Cory, Hitler wasnt attacking the earth! Hitler wasnt attacking the continents! Hitler wasnt attacking the oceans, Cory!
He was attacking the Jews and he was attacking the French and Czechs, and he had his designs on Great Britain. He was attacking human beings. So now heres this guy comparing the Green New Deal to the Moon landing and the Marshall Plan while one of his believing journalists is out saying the Moon landing was a total waste of time and money and effort. God, these people are idiots. Theres just no other way to describe them than just plain stupid!

RUSH: Heres Ed, Sun City, Florida, great to have you on the EIB Network. Open Line Friday. Hi.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Dittos. Hey, your opinion on something. Given all things the way theyre happening, at least politically on the Democrat side, I think we can sort of say if things continue as they are, Cortez is becoming the face of the Democratic Party. As a result of that, I just cant see Schumer and Pelosi and their ilk stepping aside and letting her be the messenger. I just dont see it, Rush. I see a lot of things perhaps going on behind the scenes, just my opinion, but I just cant believe that theyre gonna let her dictate the message of the party. Just your thoughts.
RUSH: Well, I think were already seeing evidence of that with the fact that her Green New Deal isnt anywhere to be found. And now shes out tweeting that the Republicans are lying about it and mischaracterizing it, which is a sign of how great the Green New Deal is. And shes talking about all these 70 Democrats that have signed on to it and want to endorse it. And shes accusing Republicans of lying about it and writing about it in things in ways that are not true.
Look, these people are not very bright, folks, theyre not very educated. Theyre not very bright. Pelosi is gonna find a way to use this woman, not dispatch her. Pelosi would be a fool not to use her. This woman could be brilliant raising money when she doesnt even know that thats how shes being used. But if Pelosi is half as smart as I think she is, she will find a way to exploit this enthusiasm and to use it for her and the partys own benefit. And that would be fundraising.
Shes not gonna let this woman become the face of the party. Pelosi is the face of the Party. Pelosi is not gonna surrender that. But shell find a way to make this young kids efforts end up helping the party. Shell do what she can to make sure they dont hurt. That would be my guess.
Nope pelosi and the seasoned socialists love cortex.
Cortex makes the insane demands of pelosi, et al, appear reasonable compromise.
This is all part of the hegelian dialectic. The left requires more and more extreme antitheses in order to shift things left incrementall and appear to be trying to push for “reasonable” changes to the status quo.
Nope pelosi and the socialist og lo e cortex and they will use her until shes not useful or a threat to them.

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I NEARLY CRIED:
WSJS KIMBERLEY STRASSEL CANT GET OVER GREEN NEW DEAL
The Wall Street Journals Kimberley Strassel was not impressed by the rollout of the proposed Green New Deal in fact, she argued Thursday that if a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job.
As Democrats rolled out the resolution, notably backed by freshman Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the commentary and criticisms rolled out as well. Strassel was firmly and decidedly in the camp of the latter.
By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful.
Strassel followed her initial tweet with a series of key points to illustrate her initial assessment. The facilities and turbines required to deliver renewable electricity on the scale described in the GND, for example, would take up more space than the entire state of California.
......sheer number of turbines, solar panels, facilities necessary just for the “renewable electricity” bit. Would need 500k square km, bigger than California. Also note, govt will pay for these—not private sector.
I hope a lot of people took a copy and saved the entire, heinous document and Republican campaign candidates beat their rabid, communist DEMON RAT opponents to death with it in campaign ads during the upcoming election.
The New Green Deal proves one thing: FusionGPS was obviously commissioned to craft yet another document for the Democrats.
It’s CLOWARD/PIVEN on steroids!! Overwhelm the system till it collapses, then re-create it as Socialist or Communist.
NPR has the actual HB online at:
Scroll down and read H.Res. I’m trying to figure out how to grab a copy and save it, before this one gets “sanitized”.
NPR has it still online; don’t know how I got it mixed-up with that ‘New Green Deal’... sorry.

I’ve got it both ways.
“...pass it so you can find out what’s in it...”
Sounds suspiciously like a Soviet five-year plan.
(It would be funny if it were not so tragic that the
“American” electorate loves it.)
IMHO
-—(It would be funny if it were not so tragic that the

They do...?
Moronic TV pundits and libtard talking heads are not the American electorate...
“Moronic TV pundits and libtard talking heads are not the American electorate....”
...but many lawyers, doctors, teachers, union members and other citizens will vote democrat/socialist forever, vehemently standing up for climate change legislation, wealth distribution, high taxes and all the other pet
democrat scams.
IMHO
They’ll vote socialist/Democrat forever, and the libtard
talking heads are nothing but a reflection of their attitudes toward the rest of the population.
