RUSH: Dick in Macedonia, Ohio, I'm glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Rush, an honor and a privilege. I'm willing to take a stab at explaining why it's absolutely essential in a constitutional republic to have either a Judeo-Christian ethic restraining our behavior or something very like it. The framers of the Constitution had a very decided Christian worldview. Part of that worldview is recognition of the fact that we are flawed from the garden, we have a basic tendency...

RUSH: Here's Ruth in Brooklyn. Thank you for waiting. Ruth, nice to have you with us on the EIB Network. CALLER: Wow. This is like a real treat, Rush. I'm nervous.

I heard you on the radio, and I thought, "Oh, my gosh, who is this guy? I love the way he thinks. This is how I think," and over the years, listening to your program,...

RUSH: Ed in Fredericksburg, Virginia, nice to have you with us on Open Line Friday. Hello. CALLER: Rush, I read again this morning -- it seems like it comes about every second day -- an AP writer saying that the Kyoto and the climate change folks that the United States is the only country in the world that's all screwed up and we're wrong and everybody else is right. It made me think that, you know, these folks are the modern equivalent of the Barbary pirates 200 years ago, when we stood for principle...

RUSH: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says a swipe that Vice President Cheney took at Democratic House leaders is 'beneath the dignity of his office.' Capitol Hill was abuzz Thursday with discussion of the vice president's assertion in an interview with Politico that House Democratic leaders had been surprisingly supine: 'They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.'" (laughing) Boy, that's open to interpretation. "Cheney added that when he served in the House, 'We would...

RUSH: Barack Obama, you are being kneecapped! Folks, listen to this. Barack Obama, the presidential hopeful, has scheduled two highly anticipated rallies in Iowa tomorrow with The Oprah.

But Neville...

RUSH: By the way, the left -- ho-ho-ho-ho -- you heard about the CIA destroying some tapes? (laughing) Harsh techniques! Abu Zubaydah, friend of Bin Laden, 2003 or 2004 when this happened, I'm not sure. At any rate, the left is fit to be tied! The CIA destroyed tapes! The New York Times is upset. "Somebody could have leaked us those, and you destroyed 'em?" (laughing) The announcement was made by the Director of Central Intelligence, Hayden, yesterday. Here's a montage of Wolf Blitzed, John Roberts,...

RUSH: Ann in Brooklyn, I'm glad you waited. You're up next on Open Line Friday. Hi. CALLER: Oh, this is the best moment of my day, maybe my year. Thank you so much. RUSH: It's my pleasure. CALLER: I actually called to make a remark about Hillary, but can I please slip in a little thing on religion and freedom? RUSH: Sure.

We're going to go back first, lifted some audio from Rush the TV show, March 8th, 1994.RUSH ARCHIVE: The Hillary Clinton story basically is this -- and see how similar this sounds to the old days before the modern era of feminism raised its head. You're a girl, you're a young woman, what do you do? You go off to college. That's what she did. Why do you go? To meet your husband. That's what she did. She wouldn't be where she...

RUSH: This is December 7th, the anniversary of the first of three attacks on our homeland. December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor, and then, of course, September 11th, 2001. You know what the third attack on our homeland was? February 26th, 1993, the first attack on the World Trade Center. People conveniently leave that one out. That was the first attack of the World Trade Center, the date that some count as the start of the war on terror that the terrorists started nine years before the war that...
