Cap And trade For Babies: One Child Policy Coming to USA? (Limbaugh/IBD)
The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | October 20, 2009 | rush Limbaugh/ IBD

Posted on 10/20/2009 6:47:11 PM PDT by raptor22

This is an editorial here from the Investor's Business Daily: "Cap-and-Trade for Babies." It's coming, folks. They're going to offer young couples carbon credits for only having one child. The theory is that human beings are polluting and destroying the planet. Now, Paul Ehrlich wrote about this back in the seventies in The Population Bomb. It's been totally disapproved, discredited. This has been part of the militant environmental extreme for years, and here now the people who can make it a reality are running the country... But like everything else in the militant environmentalist wacko community, I believe this is going to happen someday. Once they get these ideas, they don't give them up. They've been working on this since 1976, and now we got Anita Dunn, who sings the praises of the great "philosopher" Mao Tse-tung in the White House....

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I want to go back to this editorial in the Investors Business Daily in which the New York Times environmental writer Andrew Revkin participated in a panel six days ago, panel discussion on climate change with other media pundits, and it was called "Covering Climate: What's Population Got to Do With It?" The lefties have been positing the notion -- I first heard it in the seventies when Paul Ehrlich came out with The Population Bomb that too many people, not enough resources, not enough food, we're all going to die, we gotta limit population. It's now gotten to the point that what we exhale, carbon dioxide, is the biggest pollutant on the planet and is destroying the planet and we're going to be in trouble, and they believe that humanity is the greatest scourge on the earth anyway, it's destroying other species, it's destroying resources, and now it's destroying the planet.

Referenced article at IBD. I don't see this idea going anywhere anytime soon, though.

That it is even seriously proposed is bad.

Since the ‘70’s, the environmentalists influenced two generations to limit the size of their families. For this sacrifice, our economy found it had too few workers and consumers, so the gates were opened to unlimited legal and illegal immigrants. Now that we know that the goal of the left is to destroy the U.S. from within by destroying its family structure and values, why would we fall for that again?

Not just muslims, but ALL minorities.

Yes; all Minorities/sigh. Albeit; thus far; the Islamists are reproducing the fastest.

As Mark Steyn reminds us of the wisdom; the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world. . .along with 'go forth and multiply' we can easily surmise why it is; we are absolutely, in deep doo-doo.

Those babies are Desirable. They all grow up to vote Social Democrat. They are not to be discouraged. They might be limited to one baby per daddy, though.

So, even though it is CounterIntuitive, since Restricting the Birthrate among Illegal Immigrants would reduce the Number of voters for the Democrats, It actually works out OK, because there will be fewer people to take care of the Elderly and they will Die off Faster that way and change the Voter Demographic so it is Biased to the Democrats.

Yet another good Conspiracy Theory.

But, It could happen.

They're going to offer young couples carbon credits for only having one child.

No, there will be a tax on >1 child.
