I simply turn on the Golden EIB Microphone and share my honest passions and beliefs with people. And they're free to go elsewhere. They're free to ignore; they're free to believe; they're free to be entertained, I don't care. They're free to do whatever they want. But a lot of people aren't free to smoke cigarettes where they want; they're not free to drink where they want; they're not free to eat the kind of food they want to eat; they're not free to eat trans fats; they're not free to drive certain places. Pretty soon we're going to be told what kind of cars we have to drive. I can't cause that. I can't restrict anybody's freedom. We've elected a guy who can, does, and wants to, all under the guise of saving us. So I appreciate the effort, and I appreciate somewhat losing my temper here. But don't compare me ever to an authoritarian who thinks so little of people that without him they can barely breathe on their own. Don't ever do that."

If one cannot understand Rush's words above, then one does not truly understand FREEDOM!

GOP Lady,

IMHO, Rush is right about 80% of the time —and I say this as someone who Rush has personally, on-air, has quoted positively.

But Rush leans statist and sometimes is a little too populist for my taste — meaning he caters to what his audience WANTS to hear and is willing to pay to hear, instead of what I know he really believes. He’s too smart not to know — just as you are.

Rush knows that he can’t tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and still survive in his business. So as a priest once said to me, “You have to give a child milk before they can handle meat.” Rush gave us milk when we needed to be gumming meat.

He’s absolutely right with that quote, but I’ve known people who said virtually the same thing to me 20 years ago — “Nationalized medicine requires me to take away your right to smoke, drink, eat fatty foods and not exercise — for the good of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”

P.S, Yes, Spock was a Socialist!
