RUSH: Folks, there are some people who are saying that the incident at Fort Hood is just another glaring illustration of why we need gun control in the United States. Why we need gun control. If you are one of these people who think that the lesson of the Fort Hood massacre is gun control, may I remind you...? As Jay Nordlinger posts at National Review Online today: Yeah, yeah, right an Army base is no place for weapons. Right? Gun control on an Army base? Guess who was unarmed? There are...

RUSH: Watching this vote and watching these Democrats cheer, this is the biggest assault on freedom and liberty yet to occur in the United States Congress. And then to learn that the Stupak amendment was part of this, that the pro-lifers ended up buying into this whole thing because funds were going to be taken out of health care to buy abortions when you know they're going to go back in? We have a Democrat congressman already saying it's going to go back in. I love the pro-life community, I'm...

RUSH: Now, I just had sent to me via e-mail a blog post, a blog post from the imam who was at the Falls Church, Virginia, mosque when the 9/11 terrorists and the Hasan guy was there. The imam now lives in Yemen. And the headline on his blog post, if it's really him, "Nidal Hassan [sic] Did the Right Thing -- Nidal Hassan [sic] is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is...

RUSH: The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is going on right now. It's dark over there in Germany. I have a story here from the State-Controlled Associated Press: "Merkel Thanks Gorbachev on Berlin Wall Anniversary." Now, let's be clear about something. "Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm, mmm, mmm!" was invited to go and said (imitating Obama) "Mmm, mmm, mmm, ain't going! Got to bowl, gotta play golf, got a concert in the House, got a date night, gotta celebrate health care. I ain't...

RUSH: Last Friday, unemployment in our country hit 10.2%, coming in higher than the experts expected. This, of course, after the Democrats in Congress spent almost a trillion dollars in so-called stimulus, including the pork, and after Obama said unemployment would not top 8%. And the stimulus bill, if you'll recall, was supposed to contain a lot of "shovel-ready" projects. Well, we learned that 65,000 construction jobs were lost -- (laughing) I'm sorry to laugh about it -- in the unemployment...

RUSH: Last Saturday, House Democrats had the unmitigated gall to show up on a Saturday night when nobody was paying attention -- after the unemployment number at 10.2% -- and commit a Saturday night massacre on this country. It's nothing other than a Saturday night massacre. After securing the vote to destroy the best health care delivery system in the world and replace it with a massive, big-government trillion-plus-dollar job-killing monstrosity -- and I gotta tell you something here, folks....
