Rush Limbaugh: Capitalists, Not Environmentalists Will Rebuild

Just to carry out a theme, folks, that I have established recently, "the people who make this country work." When you turn on your television and you look at the people rebuilding New Orleans and Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi, those are not going to be environmentalists. You won't see the Robert F. Kennedy, Jrs., or any of these others from these well heeled nonprofit groups rebuilding New Orleans in Gulfport and Biloxi. Do you know who it's going to be? It's going to be the military. It will be construction companies and their employees. It will be hotels and restaurants and grocery stores and the like. It will be the very capitalists that make this country work; it will be the very people that make this country work.

What Rush didn't say is that the left doesn't want America to be great.

[stevio]

I heard this today. Rush is right on and the eternal optimist. God bless him and our country.

[cripplecreek]

Of course we'll rebuild and the city of New Orleans will be better and safer than ever.

[38special]

Rush is right!

[b9]

Reminds me of Michael Crichton's "State of Fear."

[SueRae]

I heard this part today and it was heartening. Time to roll up our sleeves folks.

[mylife]

Right on Rush!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Agreed. I heard him, too. Rush was right on the money today. :)

[LibKill]

Truth. Capitalists build because they profit. This is a natural human desire, to build and make a little cash.

All the environmentalists have to sell is fear. No one in in New Orleans is buying fear right now. They have had their fill of it.

They want everything we all need. Food, Shelter, Transportation to places where they can get food and shelter.

JOBS! WORK!

Enviroweenies can't provide anything but fear. The market of fear is overstocked right now. Noone is buying.

Capitalists are giving food (WalMart) and will give jobs (work, INCOME) after.

I have not heard from the socialists what they will give. I expect they will just rant about how evil the right is.

[Peter Libra]

This gentleman is America's statesman. He did not have to get elected either. Sad as I have been, Rush is sort of like a light at the end of a dark tunnel.

America will come out stronger. God speed.

[John Lenin]

I wish he hadn't released the strategic reserve. I wish instead what the president would do, would by executive order temporarily suspend all these environmental regulations that retard development and retard drilling and retard distribution, such as these 40 different formulations of gasoline and all these other things and let the oil companies that want to drill, drill, and let the refinery owners that want to build and expand, build and expand, and let the pipeline builders who want to build more pipelines, build the pipelines, and let's get this going -- and let's also temporarily rescind all the taxes on fuel and gasoline.

Bring it on ! Drive a stake through the heart of the enviro-whackos because there ain't no alternative energy we can turn to.

[asp1]

Great points, LibKill!

I heard this "editorial" today and I thought Rush is brilliant.

[Doe Eyes]

Of course we'll rebuild and the city of New Orleans will be better and safer than ever.

Of course, "we'll" means Federal Tax dollars.

Will "we" rebuild it below sea level?

[wagglebee]

I was hoping that Bush would suspend the ridiculous federal gasoline tax.

[Just Lori]

and let's also temporarily rescind all the taxes on fuel and gasoline.


Washington state liberals would go insane! Wait a minute........

[TrailofTears]

True man of the age. He is a real statesman. Few can say it as clearly as he does.

[John Lenin]

No politician will even mention cutting gas taxes. The States and the Fed rely to much on the gas tax.

[cripplecreek]

"Will "we" rebuild it below sea level?"

Will "we" use eminant domain to seize land to build it and all related infrastructure elswhere?"

Thinking that the city will simply be deserted is Al Gores wet dream. If we're going to play that game we should raze New York, Seattle, Boston, San Fransico, and LA. We'll relocate them to a central location and call it Nebraska.

[Doe Eyes]

Thinking that the city will simply be deserted is Al Gores wet dream.

What's your dream?

Are you will to pay for it?

Of course not.

[Milhous]

Of course we'll rebuild and the city of New Orleans will be better and safer than ever.

Rebuilding NO offers something for everybody. People looking for work will find a plethora of good paying construction jobs with plenty of apprenticeship opportunities. Bureaucrats can create new empires to help the helpless. Leftist intellectuals can criticize everything. Politicians get an opportunity to stage gaudy public ceremonies to take credit.
