RUSH: Well, the Breck Girl went to the Council on Foreign Relations today to make a big speech. I knew he was going to do this. We had a story about two or three weeks ago from the Breck Girl in which he first sent this phrase out, this thought out as a trial balloon, but before the Council on Foreign Relations, he repudiated the notion that there even is a global war on terror. He said, "Global war on terror is an ideological doctrine advanced by the Bush administration that has strained American...

RUSH: I was preparing for this program last night and spinning through the news, kept seeing all these news stories on this Pew study about how moderate Muslims in America are. I ignored it because the instincts just took over. I got a collection here of headlines to illustrate things that I saw last night, and these headlines seem to present a uniform picture of the good assimilating moderate American Muslim. My experience with the Drive-By Media is that once one of them reports something, they...

That's where the Supreme Court's eminent domain decision took private property away from a poor person to give it to rich corporations to increase the tax base.
