Cultural Tipping Point? Don't Bet On It
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | July 15, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/15/2015 1:13:16 PM PDT by Kaslin

>RUSH: So they're really ticked off out there, huh? (interruption) I knew when I warned you people, if we go to phones on this, you're gonna be shocked at what you hear. Snerdley tells me that he's being bombarded by calls from New York shouting at him, telling me where to go, that I'm lying. They've read the New York Times story about this, and I'm making all this up. "This didn't happen," and then they're hanging up. Snerdley says he hasn't seen a response to anything like this in a long, long time.

Folks, I'm not in any way surprised. Look, would you like to listen to the Cosmo magazine reaction to this? You shouldn't be surprised. I know everybody is thinking there's gonna be a tipping point. There's gonna be something that happens that wakes everybody up and alerts them that we are close to the edge here and if we don't change our ways, we're finished. Well, it may happen, but it isn't this. The author of the Cosmo piece on this is Robin Marty, and this is really all I need to know.

"I've read the emails. I've watched the short-version video. I've read the website and the other anti-abortion action groups' press releases. I've even poked through all the primary sources posted so far in the 'Document Vault.' Now, frankly, I'm just going to yawn." (Yawning). And then she goes on to parrot the Planned Parenthood press release talking points. And then says, "Overall, yes, the video put out by Center for Medical Progress is upsetting and off-putting.

"The highlights of the conversation were unpleasant, I shuddered when listening to the discussion of how the fetus can be removed, and the idea of a 'menu' of fetal tissue and organs that could be procured depending on the gestational age of the pregnancies being terminated and the number of patients who consent to donating is one I hope I never have to encounter again. However, medicine overall is often gory and gruesome." That's your reaction from Cosmo. "Now, frankly, I'm just going to yawn. ... [M]edicine overall is often gory and gruesome."

This is "medicine," you see? This is scientific research. (interruption) Dr. Mengele? Oh-ho-ho! Dr. Mengele? Just mentioning that name probably will inspire a bunch of more calls from New York. "How dare you associate Mengele with this?" I was once interviewed by Jeff Greenfield of the 92nd Street Y, waaaay back, way back there, when I began the explanations of why I was pro-life, all on the cultural side. It has nothing to do with forcing anybody to do anything. I was always for a change of hearts.

I've never been for some massive, controlling, authoritarian center in the government requiring and demanding everything. That's not the way you persuade people. I've always hoped to reach people's minds and hearts. You're not gonna stop these things from happening. Nobody's gonna... You can't legislate it away. You couldn't have government bureaucracy set up to stop it and have it stopped. That's not the point. What you want to do is reduce the frequency and the instances, and you want to reduce this kind of stuff associated with it.

But now, see, this is the depravity here, folks.

We have a procedure called abortion, and now people have found another way to make money off of it, and to cover it up it's being called "scientific research." Medicine! It's insulting, 'cause that's not at all what is going on. The actual Cosmo piece ends this way. "Abortion opponents may be winning in their own media circles with this PR campaign against Planned Parenthood, but when it comes to actually proving illegal activity, at this point, their evidence is sorely lacking." (chuckles) Really?

"Evidence is sorely lacking"? They have a taped video confession of the practice and that isn't evidence? It's the kind of stuff that puts people behind bars every day in courts all over the country. But here it's... I've always loved the... You should have seen the audience at the 92nd Street Y. They just were outraged at my principled explanation of why I was pro-life, but everybody assumes that... You know, we're not the Big Government gang here, folks.

We're not the ones that want to set up a bureaucracy over here that tells you how you have to live. That's what you people on the left do. We want to provide spiritual, moral guidance. We want to have guardrails. We want to have law. We want to have moral indicators. We realize people are gonna be depraved; not everybody is gonna be clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. It's how you deal with the ones who aren't that's the problem. Don't accuse us of trying to set up some massive government to intrude on your privacy to have you do what we want you to do.

We're not those people.

That is who you people are, if I may be honest.

You're the ones that tried to determine what everybody eats. You're the ones determining what we think about climate change. You're the ones demanding that we not only support your causes but that we love them at the same time. Don't dare confuse us with you! You're the totalitarians, not us. We just don't believe that freedom includes the ability to wantonly break the law, and we are concerned about the longtime impacts of moral depravity. That's all it is.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Dave out of Long Island, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.

Stealthy? What the ...? America has been proudly slaughtering the unborn since 1973. Nothing stealthy about it. Everybody knows about it and even pseudo “christians” kept voting for the trailer trash that made it happen.

There are so many things going on in this country that are direct and even indirect corollaries to events of 1930s era Weimar Germany that I am regularly struck dumb at how the American people just continue to allow it.

Take this Iran deal nonsense: Obama is literally paying the country that is responsible for killing American soldiers in Iraq. He is signing a deal that gives money directly to Iran. I can’t fathom how this is going over in military barracks across the country. The American government is taking our tax money and handing it over to a state sponsor of terrorism against us. I can’t fathom this. It’s literally incomprehensible.

American servicemen and women across this nation took an oath to protect this nation against enemies foreign and domestic. What’s the breaking point in this nation? Seriously...

I don’t know who expected these revelations to produce some kind of cultural tipping point. I certainly didn’t. The Kermit Gosnell atrocities were just a temporary blip of moral outrage...mainly among those of us already outraged by abortion. If that didn’t move people in this country nothing will.

Video of the monster:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjxwVuozMnU

They could have her cutting out the parts of a live infant, and the left would defend her. These people are too far gone. The depravity and callousness toward life is too far gone. When Yahoo had Groups I used to lurk around one called Abortion Celebration. The comments of the “women” on there were horrific. This was 15, 16 years ago. And things have just gotten worse.

It was when Yahoo had Clubs not Groups, but I found the quotes. From about the year 2000.

“I agree a woman should have the right to abortion on demand at any time during her pregnancy.”

“BEFORE my last abortion I was given a 9 page report on my options. . .”

“I have never been in that position, but considering how little thought it takes to f__k, you should put just about that much consideration into aborting, because childbirth ain’t some magical thing. It’s the result of f__king. If it was so f__king magical, sex would last longer than it does (for many people, heheheh).”

“I feel no regret for the two abortions I have had.”

“We need to start enacting some Social Darwinism here. We are the only animals that do not have natural enemies, nor destroy derformed young. And yes, we ARE animals. We ARE primates.”

“When I suffered a positive pregnancy test in the summer of 1991, I did not for one second even consider any option except the abortion of the cancerous mass from my body.”

“When I refer to a child in that way, it’s bratty little bastards with mothers who think they’re entitled to some sort of special treatment just because they accomplished a task that I do several times weekly, which is F__K.”

“I call children crotch fruit, snot goblins, f__k-trophies, sproglinas, vomit comets, etc., because most of them ARE!”

“This is why I want my uterus ripped out and deposited in the nearest trashcan.”

“Yeah, I just LUVS when my body balloons up to Jabba the Hut size, only to s__t out something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a lemon! WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?! There are reasons why I want a tubal ASAP.”

“yeah, okay...I get jealous when people get all sorts of special treatment for a bodily function.”

This person is comparing pregnancy to bodily functions as well:

“Just start rubbing your tummy and loudly say, “Ulcer wants Pepto!!!” Or run potty saying happily, “Butt wants a dumpie!!”

I think this last quote was from a different club...maybe an animal right’s group:

“The baby does not really feel it and its fast! There are enough of us stupid cruel people anyway. We need to stop worrying about us and worry more about animals. I mean look at us taking away their life for cloths, food, beat’n fun and all. They have feelings and feel pain too! So abortion is so good! We dont need more people to come on earth to abuse our fellow earthlings! Its a cruel word out there! Jen. ABORTION RULES BABIES SUCK!”

The child molesting abortion lovers should volunteer for post-birth abortion. So concerned about new babies adding to the load on resources, but they won’t get a hole drilled into THEIR head and THEIR tiny brain sucked out.

Here's the answer to this crap.

Let's say you are an adult and of legal age to consent to medical procedures and whatnot. Let's further imagine for a second that you are in dire need of some cash. You have 2 kidneys, and are a healthy, functional individual. You want to sell one, because you only really need one right? Lots of folks live with only one kidney.

Can you?

No. the government will not allow you to sell your own organs.

Why can you sell the organs of aborted babies?

“love when libs heads explode. Sarah Palin, there I said it, kablam, there go a few.”

It is a fun sport, albeit a bit messy.

Guns save lives.

A few more....
