What did I say? What did I say? Barney Frank\u2019s put his finger in the dike, trying to stop all this economic hemorrhaging. He\u2019s trying to stop Rick Warren from showing up and giving the prayer, he\u2019s really upset about that at Obama\u2019s inauguration. The Democrats are now again lowering expectations. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ain\u2019t going to let that happen here. Not only are they lowering expectations on policy matters, the headlines say that the inauguration crowd originally projected at six million, they say it will be cut by about half. Actually no, the projections, if you read the article in the Washington Times, two million is what they\u2019re expecting. That\u2019s a reduction in expectations by two-thirds. Also, Bush\u2019s last inaugural, $400 grand. So you know that the report will be that there were $500 grand or more at the Obama inauguration. It\u2019ll dwarf whatever just by virtue of the reporting in the Drive-By Media. <\/p>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the soap opera here continues. What are we going to call this soap opera? This soap opera\u2019s gotta be called Liberalism in America. Let me give you some headlines today from the Drudge Report. &#8216;Bitter Cold, High Winds Chill the Midwest.\u2019 &#8216;Wind Chill Minus 30 in Chicago, Minus Ten in New York City.\u2019 &#8216;All Parts of Canada May See Their First White Christmas Since 1971.\u2019 &#8216;Severe Cold Wave to Hit Europe.\u2019 &#8216;Beijing\u2019s Coldest December Day in 57 Years.\u2019 Now, if God is writing this sitcom, we\u2019ll call it Liberals and Liberalism in America, what God is doing is revealing what a con artist, this guy\u2019s got nothing, Algore has nothing on Bernie Madoff. Do you realize the global warming hoax is larger in scope than Bernie Madoff\u2019s scheme? Algore is being displayed here as a liar. But God is doing it in a kind and compassionate way. Oil costs next to nothing, which means we can heat ourselves with His creation. Coal is down as well this winter, while we sort out the global warming lies. <\/p>\n<p>This cold wave that\u2019s going to hit Europe, Joe Bastardi today at his blog at Accuweather.com says that it is going to be worse than anybody will ever remember. This cold wave is going to come in, and he makes the point that some people could say, &#8216;Well, this is just a sign of how we have been warming.\u2019 No, that\u2019s not the way to look at it. By the way, he\u2019s not a global warming believer. The way to look at this is very simple. If we\u2019ve got global warming going on, then how is it that all of this frigid weather can make a comeback? If you are vanquishing the enemy, you are vanquishing the enemy, and if global warming is going to destroy the planet and our climate, where in the world is all this cold coming from? Don\u2019t tell me that it is an illustration of just how fast the earth is warming. This is what the Drive-Bys and the environmentalist wackos want us all to believe, because they have their agenda, so anything abnormal weather-wise is said to be the result of climate change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Barney Frank is fit to be tied out there, ladies and gentlemen, trying to put his finger in the dike out there, trying to &#8212; (interruption) what is so funny?
