RUSH: Here's John in Kennesaw, Georgia, John, glad you waited. Welcome to the program.CALLER: Hey, good afternoon, Rush. You began the program by reading a quote from Hillary some years back, scolding people for pointing out increasing tyranny in this country does not exist.RUSH: That wasn't Hillary. That was Bill Clinton in a commencement address at Michigan State in 2005.CALLER: Well, the point is, there has been increasing tyranny, and it's primarily due to the left. Now, we may still be...

RUSH: We move on to Mrs. Clinton. Let me set this one up, because what's fascinating about this is that Mrs. Clinton has been shielding herself from certain reporters, certain questions she doesn't want to deal with -- and, in fact, she's been praised by reporters for doing this, most recently Anne Kornblut in the Washington Post. I pointed this out to you on Friday. She made it known that Hillary's only talking to certain people in the media, and most of them are editorial writers, that she's...

RUSH: James in Manhattan, glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.CALLER: Hello. Why don't we call a spade a spade and say that the Democrats are trying to re-create the Soviet Union? You know, you mentioned Waxman, socialized medicine, polluting young minds -- la, you know, George Orwell -- and I think it was on Friday you were talking about how pediatricians in Massachusetts were interviewing children about the social habits of their parents.RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: Income redistribution,...

RUSH: I had some rudimentary information on this two weeks ago, and it wasn't enough for me to trust going with. But since then, it has been verified, and most of it's been verified by a "Freeper" at Free Republic. Everybody is writing about this now, since the Freeper posted it over the weekend. This 12-year-old kid that the Democrats used in the Saturday radio address to whine and moan and cry to President Bush about the SCHIP children's health program, it turns out that the family of this...

RUSH: All right. Richard in Monticello, Minnesota, you're next on the program today, as we go back to the phones. It's great to have you here.CALLER: Rush?RUSH: Yeah.CALLER: From the land of 10,000 liberals, I'm a conservative island.RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. I understand how you feel.CALLER: I want to humor you for just a second. I've listened to you for decades. How's that sound?RUSH: (laughing) Exciting.CALLER: I used to cover the Midwest traveling a lot, and I still carry...

RUSH: Did you see Nancy Pelosi yesterday on Fox News Sunday? We have some sound bites here. Here is Chris Wallace asking Pelosi, "Would you be satisfied with having some troops in Iraq in 2013?"PELOSI: No. I would think that the minimal temp -- I would describe a minimal temporary force to be there for a few years following the end of next year.RUSH: Okay, so she stutters and stammers and fumbles when hit with the troops in Iraq 'til '13 question. Kooks can't like this answer. What the kooks...

RUSH: (If Obama can say it, I can say it.) Sometimes, I think there is divine intervention in my life where it concerns this program, because yesterday I took a break. The Steelers were creaming the Seahawks, just creaming 'em. You know the Seahawks, their time of possession in the second half? How's this for diversity, folks. You know what their time of possession was in the second half? Five minutes and seven seconds. That's all they held the ball for against the Steelers. So I said, "Okay,...

RUSH: From the American Spectator today, their column is entitled The Prowler. "The Democrat Party senior leadership is feeling a Rush. Rush Limbaugh, that is. Late last week, DNC Chair Howard Dean, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, his deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin and Senatorial Committee chair, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi all signed off in some form or another direct mail fundraising plans that will feature Limbaugh for their national party. '"Don't let Limbaugh smear true patriotism,"...

RUSH: I want to read a quote to you from a speech, just a couple lines, a couple paragraphs. I want to ask you to think about, as you're listening to this, who said this. "How dare you suggest that we, in the freest nation on earth, live in tyranny? How dare you call yourselves patriots and heroes? I say to you, all of you, there is nothing patriotic about hating your country or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your...

RUSH: Barack Obama was in Greenville, South Carolina, at the Redemption World Outreach Center Church, and he said this.OBAMA: There is God's spirit in each and every one of us -- black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American. It's waiting to be released.RUSH: That's right, he says that we are going to have the kingdom of God on earth, God's kingdom on earth. Well, this is fine and dandy with me, but nobody's objecting to this. The media thinks it's a very clever move, actually. We've also...

Story #1: Petraeus, Brits, Albright Warn Iran RUSH: Well, this is getting interesting about Iran. General Petraeus is warning Iran, once again, that we have evidence of them being involved in the killing of American soldiers. The Brits have said that they are "on board" for US strikes on Iran. Madeleine Albright was over in the Czech Republic, and she said war with Iran cannot be ruled out at this stage. And, of course, the Democrats are out there all concerned about, "Well, wait a minute, now....
