I missed the beginning of the show but when I did pick it up it was clear Rush was commenting on the fear mongering and slanted reporting by the media about Japan's nuclear reactors. Reading from comments from Dr. Josef Oehmen, a research scientist at MIT it is revealed that not only are news reports plain bad, they are plain wrong as in inaccurate. Here are two links about Dr. Oehman's remarks - first from businessinsider.com and second from bravewnewclimate.com
As Rush explains there is a risk to everything. He quotes from the EIB's official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsvilles who said, "Practical energy sources are inherently risky. There is risk associated with virtually everything, particularly in energy production -- and the reason is is that we need so much of it. There's no way to provide it without using concentrated forms of it. Petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear, those are all concentrated."
Rush explains that liberals want you to believe that they can have a utopia without risk. Along with risk is also reward. The high standard of living enjoyed in the United States is something that liberals want to undo for whatever convoluted reason. So they and through their media minions use scare tactics to stop progress. Of course, there's a false promise as there is no utopia. The media, and all leftist liberals, are using scare tactics and fear mongering to kill nuclear power. The left demonizes those who take the risk of exploration, and refinement, and distribution - using the oil industry as an example. People who work hard to provide us a life where you have an expectation there is gasoline at the gas station and you can be comfortable in your home by adjusting your thermostat. The liberals want to take risk out and there goes your standard of living.
Rush also suggests that Obama needs to learn from Japan whose financial situation is such that 200% of Japan's GDP is debt.
Later in the show Rush discussed the talking points the libs have criticising U.S. Rep Peter King on his hearings on Muslim Radicalization in American where they suggest such hearings with encourage more terrorism. Well then, Rush concludes, their (the libs and medias) ongoing criticism of the Tea Party ought to increase the Tea Party ranks. The same goes for their bashing Sarah Palin and, based on the liberal logic, support for Palin should be bolstered everything they trash her.
Rush tries to make sense of the nonsense. I didn't need to hear from Rush that the reports about Japan's nuclear situation were alarmist.
