RUSH: This is just disgusting. This is how particularly liberal politicians think. This is Mayor Doomberg in New York at the United Nations during a general assembly summit on noncommunicable diseases. So the mayor of New York is at a summit at the UN on noncommunicable diseases, which is a discussion that included diet and eating habits. This is what he said.

DOOMBERG: There are powers only governments can exercise, policies only governments can mandate and enforce, and results only governments can achieve. To halt the worldwide epidemic of noncommunicable diseases, governments at all levels must make healthy solutions the default social option. That is ultimately government’s highest duty.

RUSH: Diet. What we eat, according to Mayor Doomberg, is government’s highest duty. If I ever found myself in elective office, the last thing I would think about is telling people what they have to eat and I’m going to be the one telling them. But that’s who this guy is. We’re facing a world-wide epidemic of government. We do not have a worldwide epidemic of starvation or obesity. We’ve got a worldwide epidemic of socialism. We have a worldwide epidemic of too much government, too big government, Marxism. There’s an epidemic of a lack of freedom. This is just absurd. But he gets elected.
