It´s great to have you here. Hi. CALLER: Hey, Rush. It´s great to talk to you. RUSH: Thank you very much. CALLER: Hey, if I understand the way the budgeting works, the last time the US had a budget was in 2009 and it was about $1.8 trillion. RUSH: That´s pretty close. CALLER: Okay. Now, I think we´re spending over $3 trillion annually. RUSH: It´s 3.6 or 3.7 if you add dimes.

If the government expects me to pay my share of the bills, it better run the finances the way I do, or expect to have the debt repudiated. I didn´t get the money, so the government can get it from those that did.

Poor Ann from Littleton. One should never ask Mr.Limbaugh rhetorical questions nor take a breath when speaking to Hannity or O´Reilly. She was not able to make her point, which seemed to be why we have not had a budget for three years. It would expose how "one-on", "emergency" spending has been included in the "baseline" annual budget.
I don´t think these tyrants are going to leave peacefully. Up the Revolution!

Yet they deny that spending is the problem. It calls for another one of those, "just how stupid do they think we are" responses.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered. Information detailing what happened before, during and

Whistleblowing website WikiLeaks today published more than 1.7million U.S. records covering diplomatic or intelligence reports on every country in the world. The data released today includes more than 1.7million U.S. diplomatic records from 1973 to 1976 - covering a traffic of cables, intelligence reports and congressional correspondence. WikiLeaks described the Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD) as the world´s largest searchable collection of U.S. confidential, or formerly confidential, diplomatic communications. Much of the work was carried out by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, 41, during his time in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been staying since last summer.

Champagne was flowing tonight as the Left took to the streets to celebrate the death of former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. More than 300 people gathered in Glasgow city centre, while over 100 revellers amassed on the streets of Brixton, south London. Within hours of her death, people had taken to micro blogging sites to organise the gatherings. In Glasgow´s George Square anti-capitalist campaigners shouted from loudspeakers, ´Maggie, Maggie, Maggie´ as the crowd replied ´dead, dead, dead.

RUSH: There´s a story I ran into. I don´t know if it´s a story. It´s something I discovered over the weekend. It´s hard for me to describe my emotion when I came across this. The upshot of it is that in an official manual, the United States Army now lists evangelical Christianity, Catholicism and Islamophobia as forms of religious extremism, along with Al-Qaeda and Hamas. Stop and think of that. The United States Army, and this, of course, the Obama administration, lists evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as forms of religious extremism.

The 29,503,030 people who follow Barack Obama´s Twitter account might see his picture, see his name, see that little blue verified account badge and think they´re following the President — but it´s not him. All of the president´s named social media accounts, in fact, have been handed over to a non-partisan, not-for-profit group that isn´t overly concerned if you didn´t notice the transition. As the first sitting President with a Twitter account, the murky handover raises questions that didn´t exist ten years ago — can a politician legally hand over his valuable online

MARGARET Thatcher’s famous line “The lady’s not for turning” has gone down as one of the former prime minister’s most-quoted expressions. The phrase referred to her refusal to do a U-turn on her economic policy after unemployment rocketed by 500,000 in just one year to hit 2million. But the Iron Lady, who has died following a stroke, made a number of pithy remarks during her 87 years. Here we have compiled her top 15 quips: 1) Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

RUSH: I need to ask you guys something on the other side of the glass. I want you to be honest. I don´t want any of this kiss-butt stuff that you are normally known for. Do I sound like I´m really down in the dumps over stuff today? I don´t? Good. Because I got some e-mail, "Rush, what are you so down for today?" I´m not. I´m not down. But some of this stuff I have learned over the weekend that we´re talking about, to me is really sobering stuff. Folks, I must tell you.

Lady Thatcher, I was very fortunate to know. Because of some friends of mine who knew her, I was often invited to social occasions with her. I must have spent quality time with Lady Thatcher on 10 to 15 different occasions, all in the 1990s. I´ve regaled you with some of the stories. In every one of those

Gov.

It also bans abortions based solely on the [sex] of the fetus." But as the Associated Press reports, abortion proponents are especially exercised about a provision "declaring that life begins ´at fertilization´ " Talcott Camp, deputy director of the ACLU´s Reproductive Freedom Project, said the language could eventually

This is one for the “too stupid to survive” files: U.S. Army Labeled Evangelicals, Catholics as Examples of Religious Extremism. When I first saw the headline, I assumed it must all be a little less obviously bone-crushingly stupid or at any rate more nuanced once you got into the story. But I invite you to look at the accompanying poster for the Equal Opportunity training brief issued by the Army Reserve in Pennsylvania. It lists “extremist” groups, starting with “Evangelical Christianity” at Number One, “Al Quaeda” (misspelled under any Roman rendering of Arabic) at Number

SEOUL -- South Korea´s Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae said Monday there are signs that North Korea may be preparing for another nuclear test. In a meeting with lawmakers, the policymaker said that Seoul is aware of indications that another test is being planned, but he failed to go into details. The remarks came after a lawmaker citing unspecified reports said that there has been an increase in the movements of vehicles and personnel near the Punggye-ri test complex in North Hamgyong Province.

Today, Kim Jang-soo, South Korea’s new national security director, said North Korea may fire off a missile as soon as Wednesday. The launch will undoubtedly be a test of an intermediate-range missile, not an attack. North Korea last week moved two missiles, which were subsequently loaded onto mobile launchers, to its east coast. Many expect the missiles, which have been subsequently moved to hidden locations, will be fired in trajectories arcing over Japan. The Pentagon is not at the moment especially concerned about Pyongyang’s longest-range missile, the Taepodong-2, a variant of the successfully tested Unha-3 rocket.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
