From this principle it will follow, that the form of government which communicates ease, comfort,...

You go in the political arena, and you are going to be subject to analysis and criticism. That's what they can't believe that I did. "Why, that's heartless and cold and cruel." They were saying, "Doesn't he have hope?" He can exercise his hope all day. We all have hope. I'd love to get my hearing back. We all have hope.

How absurd and ridiculous. But they exist for one reason: liberal, white,...

RUSH: I just want to run a little thought by you regarding the Duke lacrosse case. It might be a stretch, but it's still illustrative, because you could say that we have more to thank the North Carolina attorney general for than just the Duke lacrosse ruling. Not only did he declare those three lacrosse players "innocent," not only did he return justice to the justice system, not only did he expose lockstep liberals and the PC tyrants, but he might have also helped in a strange sort of way, the...
