Liberals Care More About Baby Turtles Than Human Babies!

CALLER: Yes. That is absolutely one of my points. You know, I feel like our culture has declined so much that we offer more protections for baby turtles, as you have brought up, than we do for human babies.

Rush: That’s what’s remarkable about this — and your point about the sea turtles? Folks, she’s exactly right. There are more pages… You would not believe it. I have some friends who finally got elected to public office down here. I said, “Would you look into this turtle-light restriction? I want to know what I’m up against here.” Not to belabor it, but for eight months of the year, those of us that live on the Atlantic Ocean side of the state of Florida — for eight months a year — we’re not allowed to have any landscaping lighting on at all if we live on the beach.

Even if we’re 250 yards from the beach, no landscape lighting and no outside lighting that might be illuminating, say, the roof or the second floor of the house. Because sea turtles… Which (snort!) don’t begin to hatch until May anyway, yet the restrictions start on March 1st. And we get warning after warning after warning from local authorities telling us that the lights have to go off soon and that there will be inspectors on the beach looking and watching. Occasionally, they’ll report somebody and send the cops to the house just to harass them whether or not they’re in violation of anything.

Last night on the Fox News Channel Tucker Carlson had a guest who makes my point, that these people are filled with an irrational hatred and rage primarily for us and for men as a subset of us. Now, us being religion, God-d, the Catholic Church, Christianity at large, conservatives, the conservative movement, that’s us, and that’s who and what they hate.

So let’s go to the audio sound bites. We have Tucker Carlson interviewing Monica Klein. She is the founding partner of something called Seneca Strategies. And Tucker Carlson’s question, “I wonder what you think about what Dr. Northam, the governor of Virginia, said. The infant is born. There’s a point where the mother and the physician can decide whether to kill the infant or not.” I want you to listen to the anger and the hatred in this woman’s voice. She hates Republicans. She hates Trump. She hates Kavanaugh. Tucker asks her, “What do you think of what the governor of Virginia said?”

KLEIN: (crosstalk throughout) Look, Tucker, I understand that you want to go back to a time where Roe v. Wade was illegal, where women were having back-alley abortions —

TUCKER: Don’t… Don’t give me that. I’m just… C’mon. This is so… Look… All right. All right.

KLEIN: — and they were using coat hangers to have abortions, which is actually what’s barbaric.

TUCKER: Look, c’mon. I’m giving you time to make a real argument. I’m not arguing for the repeal of Roe v. Wade. And please don’t be tiresome. The governor of Virginia — who is a rising star of Democratic Party — just said this. There’s pending legislation that mirrors it, and I’m asking you what you think of it.

KLEIN: Reproductive health care is under attack by the Republican Party. Seventy-two percent of Americans support the right to choose, and yet we have Trump and Kavanaugh trying to repeal Roe v. Wade —

TUCKER: C’mon.

KLEIN: This isn’t about babies! This is about health care. This is about you attempting to control women’s bodies.

RUSH: That is just… That’s deranged. That is poisonous derangement. That is hatred on display. And, by the way, Ms. Klein, this business about back-alley abortions and coat hangers? You just legalized that in the state of New York, did you not? “Nonmedical personnel” can now perform abortions…
