Also, in Rush fantasy-land, we will be taxed for breathing and exhaling CO2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
LIMBAUGH: This is so unnecessary. There isn't any global warming. This bill is not about climate change; it's not about improving the environment; it's not about anything but raising taxes and taking away people's freedom. It -- folks, we are made of carbon, and what this is, is a carbon tax.
Anything -- we are -- theoretically, we could be taxed because of the carbon dioxide we exhale. If they want to figure out how much that is contributing to global warming, we can be taxed on that basis. There's no limit here once you start taxing carbon. We are made of carbon. We are a carbon-based life form.
What this legislation seeks to establish is that we, by virtue of our existence, are destructive polluters who have to be punished. We are polluters whether we want to be or not. It's just -- because we're carbon. It's just -- it is absurd.

I keep swearing off of listening to and about Limbaugh because he upsets me but I can't resist checking out his most recent display of ignorance.

I'd call Limbaugh less the confirmed leader of the republican party and more the poster boy that the extremists flock behind like sheep.
