Rush Limbaugh

You know how old I am? I'm so old, I remember when Letterman used to be funny and it was presidents who were serious. That's how old I am.

I know it when I don't know it. Sometimes I know it when I don't think I know it. I need to trust myself in these moments, these rare moments of self-doubt.

Will some reporter, or some Republican on the Sunday shows, please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

There was a time when the United States government earned the trust of its people. There was a time when most people believed that the United States government was protecting them.

The left puts a lot of faith in a lot of people in the past that were dismal failures that they think are the greatest people who ever lived.

Try to always stay focused on the objectives that are possible and the positive - and on having fun outside of the stuff that's going on in Washington.

I'm not afraid of having an agenda. I do have an agenda. It's a positive agenda.

I am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people. I think people love him because of his race and feel sorry for him, object of sympathy. I think people feel he's a victim, he portrays himself as a victim of America; he gets sympathy that way.

Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It's as big a political issue as health care is.

Obamacare is not about improved health care or cheaper insurance or better treatment or insuring the uninsured, and it never has been about that. It's about statism. It's about expanding the government. It's about control over the population. It is about everything but health care.

Folks, the most insidious part of this whole health care scheme is that all of these vast medical expenditures will become nothing more than government budget items. We individuals will no longer exist. The relationship between a government and citizen will change forever.

The Republican leadership thinks the best way to avoid losing elections is to let the Democrats win every controversial issue.

Nobody in a leadership level in American politics is trying to inspire the American people. Everybody needs to be goosed. The vast majority of people are not self-starters.

There's a void of leadership in a lot of Washington. I think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.

Character matters leadership descends from character.

It's amazing when you see something on T.V. for years and then you go and see it in person. It's perspective is all different.

That's what liberalism is all about, is promoting incompetence on the basis it's fair, because people would be the best if they weren't discriminated against.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.
