My Advice for the Next Time You're Asked to Bake a Gay Wedding Cake May 11, 2015 Rush Limbough
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There are rolling themes on this program. There are umbrella items under which fall a number of, oh, stories and sub-ideas, sub-topics, if you will. One of the themes of this program for its duration since we started, and actually predating this program going back to when I was in Sacramento, has been that the American left and the Democrat Party are engaged in an escalating -- and it has been escalating year after year after year -- attack on the institutions and traditions that have defined and made American greatness. Not just political institutions, but social institutions and traditions and cultural institutions and traditions.
And it's not stopped. And every so often there is a new line of attack. Some of the items that are attacked and assaulted are huge, like marriage. Marriage is an institution and tradition that has been in the crosshairs of the American left for as long as they have had a hatred of religion. They have made repeated, consistent efforts to undermine the tradition of marriage, and they've succeeded. They're well on their way to rendering the whole point of marriage new, different, and meaningless as it relates to the primary reason it even came into existence.

Well, one of the things we've learned recently, and frankly I'm pleasantly surprised by this, that so many people on the left have agreed with me. We go out of our way to not offend Muslims, and we chastise anybody who does anything along the lines of, say, drawing cartoon characters of the prophet Mohammed, right? We don't permit that. We frown on that, and we condemn anybody that does that, because, why? Well, there's no need to provoke millions and millions of Islamic people, Muslims who are not terrorists. Why do it, and anybody who engages in a cartoon rendering of the prophet Mohammed is chastised and ripped to shreds and criticized because we dare not offend our Muslim brothers and sisters.
I pointed out the other day, well, then should we maybe stop flouting and flaunting gay marriage, because gay marriage is really disapproved in Islam. Gay marriage, homosexual behavior is not tolerated, it is not permitted, and it is punished severely when it is caught, when it's spied. And yet in American media all over the place we are celebrating gay marriage, we are flaunting gay marriage, and I ask, does this not also offend Muslims?
