That is evidence of the corruption of our culture throughout education and entertainment, pop culture, "cares about people like me." Well, the Republicans never win that one. Even Republicans that have been elected president always lose in that. And therein lies one of the biggest challenges the Republicans have, is convincing people they care about them. If you want to talk about Republican branding that's gone wrong, that's probably it in a nutshell, that Republicans don't care about people. They care about the rich, and that no matter how incompetent the Democrats are, doesn't matter, 'cause they at least care.
And then that feeds into all of this equality and fairness and all these other things that really have nothing to do with leadership. But even that, the Democrats tried characterizing David Jolly as a pro-offshore drilling lobbyist and a global warming denier, he doesn't care about you, and it didn't work. So I'm telling you that there are all kinds of lessons for the Republican establishment, and the Tea Party, too. Anybody that wants to win elections in this cycle, there's all kinds of lessons to be learned from this one.
The global warming thing, I don't know why the Republicans haven't been more vocal because, to me, it's so easy to refute it. I know we have our scientists that are trying to refute it that way, and God bless them. But the people that support it don't know the science. The people that support it are brain-dead. They're caught up in the emotion of it. They are accepting blame for causing it.
And then they are accepting that carrot out there that they can be absolved for this sin if they agree to pay higher taxes and drive a clunky little car and whatever other price they have to pay, and give up some of their freedom. I mean, to me, it's just so commonsensical. This is a farce, and that big question: How do we know what is normal? What kind of vanity do we have?
How many human beings have walked this earth over however many years it's been here? Whatever you believe, where do we get off saying that in our 85 years of life expectancy is what's normal for the earth and that's the way it should be? We don't know that. We don't know that there even is a normal, because the climate of Planet Earth is in a state of constant flux.
So we're gonna define "normal" by where we're most comfortable? Well, I'm sorry, that doesn't even work, 'cause frankly we, down here, have had a very comfortable winter. It's been fabulous. As far as we're concerned, this could be normal all the time. And most of this country has frozen its behind off! There is no normal. There is no automatic, "This is the way it was intended to be." We don't know that.
So any so-called evidence that it's getting warmer or cooler from that point is bogus. The whole thing is made up. Now they're inculcating all of this with Michelle's push into healthy foods, by determining how food is created, produced, grown, whatever. It's gotta be done in a "green" fashion. That's gonna raise prices. It's ostensibly gonna be healthier and so forth.
But it's just gonna end up taking away food choice from people, and it's gonna raise prices like crazy. And it's all based on the presumption you don't know how to eat right; you don't know what's good for you. But it's really based on more than that. They just want to control every aspect of your life, and it's what they're aiming for.
