Hello.CALLER: Man, Rush, I never thought I'd be picking a fight with a guy that I've listened to since I left the Army active duty in 1989, but sometimes, boy, you confuse me like you've never confused me before.RUSH: Well, let me see if I can straighten it out.CALLER: Well, I've never... I've listened to you for that long. I remember once I talked to you. How many callers do you get from Pinehurst, North Carolina? I mentioned...

RUSH: Newt Gingrich, nice to have you with us on the program. Sorry we had the problem establishing contact with you.GINGRICH: Ah, it's great to be with you. How are you doing?RUSH: I'm fine and dandy. We need to straighten this out, because from what you've said since Sunday, I don't think we're that far apart on things, but when I heard you say the Reagan era is over, and then you confirmed that again today on Fox, this morning, I had a reaction to that that I wanted to explain to you, because...

RUSH: One more sound bite on this race war, the Uncivil War between the Democrats. By the way, am I the only one who is just marveling at Bill Clinton's central role in this campaign? Now, I understand he's the husband and Hillary had a similar role when Bill ran in 1992 and '96, but not quite as prominent. There is no question in my mind is that Bill is running for an unelected third term. He wants this as much for himself as he might want it for Hillary -- and it's two against one. (interruption)...

RUSH: Yesterday on this program, one of the two monologues that people were talking about all day was the state of conservatism and where it's headed. I bounced off a comment made by Newt Gingrich on the George Stephanopoulos ABC show on Sunday in which he said that the Reagan era is over. Newt, of course, heard about it, sent me a note, "Hey, I want to come on and talk about this." He was on Fox & Friends this morning, and they portrayed this, Steve Doocy and his gang portrayed this as a feud...

RUSH: They've called a truce. Supposedly called a truce here on the Uncivil War between Barack Obama and the Clintons. Remember, it's two against one, folks. Poor Obama, the black guy, being ganged up on by an ex-president and a sitting president, both with the same last name. Greetings, great to have you back, it's Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network. Here we are, behind the Golden EIB Microphone, with three hours of broadcast excellence straight ahead. Some truce. The Drive-Bys are obsessed...

Story #1: Columbus Got Syphilis from Native AmericansRUSH: But first, before we get into all of that, let's start with asking those of you who are relatively youthful, say those of you who graduated haskrool in the last 15 years during the multicultural takeover of the American haskrool curriculum, how many of you have been taught that Christopher Columbus brought syphilis, racism, sexism, homophobia, and environmental destruction to the New World, when he came here from the Old World? How many...
