Do Your Show Prep: Everything Rush reads to prepare for the show.

Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Unemployment Drops to 9.0% || Occupy Violence Continues || Cain Feeding Frenzy Continues

 RUSH: When I sense it, when I see it, it is probably true.

RUSH: One of the things that the left attempts to do is to codify elements of their ideology as "science." That is what global warming is all about -- and many other things as well.

RUSH: What we're in the middle of here is a test to see just how frightened Republicans can be made at the first sign of trouble; and way too high a percentage of establishment Republicans failed the test.

RUSH: Let me offer a wild, totally out-of-this-world observation: Did you people in the media ever stop to consider that maybe Herman Cain is simply telling the truth and that it doesn't need any strategy or organization?  Truth genuinely stands alone (it has that power), and if some guy thinks he's got the truth, he's telling the truth, and he's being honest about his answers, what kind of strategy is needed for that?

Last year, 27-year-old Jamie Alvarado of Salt Lake City was convicted for possession of cocaine and heroin, with intent to distribute. He faced 15 years. So he came up with a clever lie. He told the court he was an illegal alien.

CALLER: Listen, I'm a black conservative, and I just want to make one thing abundantly clear: The media can attempt to paint you any way they want to, but there are no bigger racists in this country than white Democratic liberals.

CALLER: Have a hamburger or steak. Go play golf, have a cigar, and have some fun, relax.

RUSH: Exactly right.

CALLER: I was raised by a dad who every night when he came home from work would get all excited and turn the Rush Limbaugh show on TV.

RUSH: They're trying to get the unemployment rate to eight-point-anything percent.  No president has been reelected with unemployment over 8% 

RUSH: Herman Cain did not seek Madeleine Albright's foreign policy advice for a simple reason: She's Madeleine Albright! Who the hell wants her advice?

RUSH: The left attempts to codify liberalism as science and now they're trying to throw another bone to the trial lawyers by saying that Twinkies and Coca-Cola and TwoIfByTea.com are addicting.  Can you believe it?

Not only do these people down at Occupy Wall Street claim not to believe in God, the whole concept is made fun of as old-fashioned and quaint and boring and nerdy.
