Rush Limbaugh

Militant feminists are pro-choice because it's their ultimate avenue of power over men. And believe me, to them it is a question of power. It is their attempt to impose their will on the rest of society, particularly on men.

How can people be so stupid? I marvel at that. See, I think you have to work as being ignorant - and if you're gonna work at being ignorant, why not work at being informed?

Character matters, leadership descends from character.

If Thomas Jefferson thought taxation without representation was bad, he should see how it is with representation.

Did you know that the White House drug test is multiple choice?

I know it when I don't know it. Sometimes I know it when I don't think I know it. I need to trust myself in these moments, these rare moments of self-doubt.

There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law, punish those who do not.

We are born to action, and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.

If Romney would go ideological in explaining Obama it would help. We gotta stop the 'He's a nice guy' stuff. Nice guys don't do what Obama is doing. Nice guys don't say and do and act the way Obama is saying doing and acting.

We are hated because we are free. We are hated because of the idea that is the United States of America. We are hated because of our Constitution.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

Charity is willingly given from the heart.

I have to tell you every day is a roller coaster.

There's a void of leadership in a lot of Washington. I think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.

Obama just announced Americans don't consider themselves victims or entitled. Actually the vast majority of Obama supporters believe exactly that. They believe exactly that.

Poverty is not the root cause of crime.

The truth does not require a majority to prevail ladies and gentlemen. The truth is its own power. The truth will out. Never forget that.

The difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is that yogurt comes with less fruit.

Barack Obama foreign policy wizard. I just have to laugh.

The way Obama voters and non-Obama voters deal with unemployment are a very different.

Everything about the left is perception manipulation and lies. Everything. Everything is 'Wag the Dog.' Everything is a structured deception.

Government stimulates the democrat party.

I suppose we're not supposed to judge people.

So what is so strange about saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to reconstruct and reform this nation so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation? I want the country to survive. I want the country to succeed.

Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck, sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.

Police and firefighters are great but they don't create wealth. They protect it. That's crucial. Teaching is a wonderful profession. Teachers help educate people to become good citizens so that citizens can then go create wealth. But they don't create the wealth themselves.

United States foreign policy which includes national security is literally disintegrating before our eyes.

I never ever have seen media this way. It's almost indescribable. Making up stories refusing to run real stories. It's making themselves look like utter fools. There's no journalism there is no media. There's pure full-fledged advocacy here.

I don't need equal time I am equal time!

Wouldn't it be great if our national news media had standards as high as the National Football League's?

The press has met their Waterloo and it's Obama.

The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama your agenda is not new. It's not change and it's not hope.

The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.

There is one other business where the customer is always wrong and that's the media.

Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity. Now Obama is dismantling it because he has no appreciation for our greatness. In fact he resents it. He blames this country for whatever evils he sees around the world.

When a nominee for the Supreme Court one of only nine lifetime appointments makes an overtly brazen racist comment about tens of millions of American citizens we don't need lectures. What we need to do is to confront her with what she said and what it says about her.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.

Obama and the Democrats are not focused on the moderates. They're focused on getting their base out and they're trying to expand that base by forming sympathetic empathetic alliances with the downtrodden and there are a lot of downtrodden because Obama has made them that way via his policies.

None of what Barack Obama is doing or wants to do to this country is anything the rest of the world hasn't seen before and already failed at.

Obama had the audacity to say 'I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States.' Ladies and gentlemen torture in the United States has always been illegal.

No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity.

The welfare state is collapsing all around us. There are people that realize that we can't go on this way but I'm not sure how many people realize how close we are to the collapse of the U.S. financial system.

The Obama camp the White House and the media all condemned Romney before they condemned the attacks. Obama thought it more worthwhile to hit Romney for what he was doing than the terrorists for what they did. Romney got hit first.

We want everybody to succeed. You know why? We want the country to succeed and for the country to succeed its people - its individuals - must succeed.

Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century.

Barack Obama doesn't think this country should be number one. If it were number 35 it'd be fine with him.

Liberal Democrats are inexorably opposed to tax cuts because tax cuts give people more power and take away from the role of government.

The more dependent you are the more ignorant you must be and that's how they want you.

The Democrats cannot find Romney fingerprints on what's happening to this country. Every fingerprint is Barack Obama's Joe Biden's Nancy Pelosi's Harry Reid's Barney Frank's you name it Eric Holder.

I reject the notion that America is in a well-deserved decline that she and her citizens are unexceptional. I do not believe America is the problem in the world. I believe America is the solution to the world's problems.

The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters.

The polls are just being used as another tool of voter suppression. The polls are an attempt to not reflect public opinion but to shape it. Yours. They want to depress the heck out of you.

Nationalizing businesses nationalizing banks is not a solution for the democratic party it's the objective.

Let me tell you the polls that count and those are the polls a couple of weeks before the election. That's when the pollsters worry about holding onto their credibility. Those are the polls that everybody remembers.

After the Republican Party did everything that Colin Powell says it needs to do to grow and nominated the very kind of candidate he wanted in 2008 what did Powell do? He endorsed Obama! So according to the Drive-Bys and David Gergen Republicans should let somebody who campaigned and voted for Obama tell us how to build our party.

For the last five years we have been presented with the idea that Barack Obama is superhuman. Barack Obama is unlike any of us or anyone else. And he isn't. In fact he's much less achieved and much less accomplished than most who have gotten half as far as he has and I think maybe what we saw was the best.

You know how old I am? I'm so old I remember when Letterman used to be funny and it was presidents who were serious. That's how old I am.

You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.

Folks, the most insidious part of this whole health care scheme is that all of these vast medical expenditures will become nothing more than government budget items. We individuals will no longer exist. The relationship between a government and citizen will change forever.

I must be honest. I can only read so many paragraphs of a New York Times story before I puke.

That's the definition of 'success' for the modern Democrat Party. As many people dependent on government as possible is the objective.

The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position not a moral position. Yet we should compromise and work to reduce abortions. Where's the compromise between life and death - and why work to reduce the number of them occurring if there's nothing wrong with them?

Is it a coincidence that in 1998 Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.

Most people's historical perspective begins with the day of their birth.

If you commit a crime you're guilty.

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head John Conyers says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it signed by a president who smokes funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

The mainstream media today has the biggest disconnect with its audience that it's ever ever had. And as the disconnect grows and as more and more people distrust them then the media digs in more and more and says you don't know what you're talking about you don't know how we do our jobs you don't know what's important.

The idea of going back to college scares me and I didn't even go. I went to college for one year two semesters. If you add up the total time I probably didn't even go one semester.

There's such cultural rot taking place such a disintegration throughout our culture. Values morality you name it. Standards have been relaxed and people are not being held to them. People's intentions if they're said to be good and honorable that's all that matters.

Well the chairman of Federal Reserve just made his move to rescue Barack Obama. We're gonna have QE3. We're gonna print some more money.

The people that make this country work the people who pay on their mortgages the people getting up and going to work striving in this recession to not participate in it they're not the enemy. They're the people that hire you. They're the people that are going to give you a job.

A loyal liberal can get away with anything with other liberals, as long as that loyal liberal is liberal and attacks conservatives left and right, spouts the right words, they get away with anything.

In NFL preseason the coaches don't use 10% of the playbook. They don't game plan. They do nothing. They don't give anything away for the regular season. They try to get everybody safely through it without anybody getting hurt.

Even when I think I'm wrong I'm right. I am all-knowing.

Emotional roller coasters tend to emphasize the lows tend to be more affected by the low by the dip in an emotional roller coaster than when you are at the peak.

The last thing they want is a revitalized economy now. I'm not saying the Democrats don't want a strong economy. Don't misunderstand. They just don't want it now.

Football is like life and I know life.

Let me tell you who we conservatives are: we love people. When we look out over the United States of America when we are anywhere when we see a group of people such as this or anywhere we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims.

I want anyone who believes in life liberty pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force any person any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success I want that organization that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed.

Obama is a statist. He's an authoritarian. He doesn't want to govern, he wants to rule.

Barack Obama's enemies are the people who make this country work. Barack Obama's enemies are those who succeed. Those are the people whose income he wants to redistribute. Those are the people whose income he wants to take using the power and the force of the federal government to do it.

This is a frightening statistic. More people vote in 'American Idol' than in any US election.

It is Barack Obama who is at war with this country. Recent events prove it. This is not a cliche. It's not a figure of speech. Obama is at war with the U.S. economy.

Who in the world wants to run a country where the new norm is one where there are no jobs?

When a poll is really really out of whack with what I want to happen I do have a tendency to disregard it.

As far as I'm concerned the people who aren't paying taxes don't get to run around claiming that they built everything, that they built the roads and that they built the bridges and so forth.

So much value has been lost in the housing market that people are now buying. If there's any activity in the housing market it's because values have plummeted to such depths that the 47% can now afford to live in a government-purchased house or something like that.

Enraging liberals is simply one of the more enjoyable side effects of my wisdom.

Reagan won because he was real. He believed in America. He told people he was gonna make it great again coming out of a disastrous four years of Jimmy Carter and Watergate before that.

That's what liberalism is all about is promoting incompetence on the basis it's fair because people would be the best if they weren't discriminated against.

We can take this country back. All we need is to nominate the right candidate. It's no more complicated than that.

Styrofoam and plastic milk jugs are biodegradable! Do you know what isn't biodegradable? Paper!

George W. Bush attended the intelligence briefing every day. Obama has not even attended half of them. He sends surrogates. That to me is significant.

Will some reporter or some Republican on the Sunday shows please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.

Look 85% percent of Democrats think the economy's fine. What does that tell you about these people?

I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism.
