Rush Limbaugh

Media does not get everything they want all the time. The Democrats certainly don't. They don't win every election, and they don't win every battle.

Basic Economics 101. It's the most complicated simple subject there is.

There isn't one thing the federal government does that anybody in Big Business would emulate, at least not in the profit sector.

If liberalism discredited itself, Obama woulda never gotten elected, and the New Deal woulda gone by the wayside, and LBJ woulda never gotten the Great Society. Liberalism does not discredit itself. It has to be explained and beaten back.

Every Republican is on record as saying Obamacare is unacceptable, intolerable, and they're gonna do everything they could to keep it from happening. But, at the moment of truth, they're not.

Sorry to interrupt myself, but it's the only way I stop talking.

Journalists are simply leftists disguised as reporters. They're political activists disguised as reporters.

If we can have record high unemployment, record job loss, and just an absolutely anemic economic recovery because of Obama's policies, and he's not blamed for it, what makes anybody think he's gonna get blamed when an insurance company starts doubling their premiums?

Ladies and gentlemen, even my own staff challenges me. When I issue edicts, commands, orders, ideas, you would think that there would be overwhelming blanket acquiescence, approval, and support.

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.

Being a conservative union member is almost like being an actor in Hollywood: You don't dare say it, or you might be injured on the job, or you might be laid off, or your family might have something happen to them.

I've had some Democrat African-American leaders tell me they're really not all that comfortable with Obama as the lead at the MLK festivities 'cause he's not down for the struggle. He does not have that in his roots.

There's a reason why young people think what they think. They are taught it. In many cases when they learn at home is erased or countered or overcome.

There are a lot of Democrats that tell me that they are just distressed over what Obama has done to the health care industry and to jobs. They are afraid to say anything about it because of recriminations, because this regime fights back.

Barack Obama happens to be the first African-American, and so criticism of him is and always was gonna be racism, and therefore not permitted.

I can't give money away to buy listeners. I can't pay listeners off with phones or food stamps or anything. I can't come by my audience by buying it.

I want Obama to have to weigh in on Ben Affleck as Batman. It's about time Obama went to work.

Everybody assumes I know everything, so they send me these notes sometimes, and I don't know what they're talking about.

We've defined decency down now that we look at the entertainment value of it, whether the acting is good, the writing is good, the story is good, no matter the depravity, we'll watch it.

People are pursuing happiness, but they're pursuing things that will never, ever make them happy, and they don't know that. They've got a distorted view of what will make them happy, what happiness is, and it's based on what they see on television.

I don't have an ego that makes me believe the world revolves around me. I am not self-absorbed.

Standards are declining left and right, and it doesn't matter. It's whatever is necessary to prop up Obama.

The journalists are so devoted to Obama. They are such sycophants that they're worried about access.

I do not believe that Obama is smarter than anybody else. I do not believe he has cut a new path and is a politician unlike any we've ever seen regarding his intellect. I don't believe any of this hocus-pocus. I didn't believe it when they said it about Hillary, Smartest Woman in the World.

Obamacare can't work, folks. It just cannot.

Freedom without virtue isn't freedom - it will eventually destroy a society.

Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. Real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. Prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. It's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.

Obamacare won't just bankrupt the country. It may bankrupt small businesses. It may bankrupt individuals.

Why is freedom such a hard sell? That's the question. In this country, why has the idea of individual liberty and responsibility become such a hard sell? That's something I never thought would happen here.

The Republicans have bought into the idea that people hate them because they're opposed to everything.

Life is busy. There are daily concerns and obligations that have to be met, and to take time to think about how precious and special a human life is that you only get one, and that every wasted minute is lost. You can't get it back.

I am opposed to Obama's efforts to destroy the American economy. I'm opposed to Obama's efforts to so-called fix the health care system. I'm opposed to the way Obama wants to go about fixing unemployment.

We're throwing money down a rat hole drain of public education! We lead the world in public education spending. We lead the world in getting the least for it.

Liberals sit from this lofty perch of pomposity, but they are the champions of ignorance. They don't know what they're talking about.

As a professional broadcaster, I can tell you that over the course of my career, there is an adage: don't ever apologize.

The thought that so many people get their news from social media really is scary.

The media is a like any other group of people. Their universe is all that matters.

I've had so many people tell me that they are shocked that AM radio still even exists with all the different listening options.

We keep waiting for the American people to wake up, and they keep hitting the snooze bar. But something, folks, someday, will wake them up. Of that I'm confident.

To somebody like Obama, substantive opposition is not tolerable. The objective is to eliminate all opposition - be it a political party, be it media, or what have you.

I've given up on being accurately portrayed in the media.

I have no interest in being wrong, so if I am, please correct me. I don't want to be wrong. There's nothing in it for you or for me to be wrong.

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

I can't tell you the number of times in high school I was allowed to be disappointed for not making the grade; it's a part of life. So the young students who are being taught by radical leftists in this country today are going to end up growing up in a world for which they are totally unprepared and unequipped.

I say what I mean. I don't speak in code. That's why I am a star and ace communicator.

If you really want to get rid of the problems in the NFL, put Obama in charge of it: in a few months it will be so deep in debt it will have to go out of business - no more concussions.

It's impossible for a Democrat to be a failure. It's impossible for a Democrat to be a reprobate. It's impossible for a Democrat to be a mess. It just isn't possible, as far as the mind-set of the media is concerned.

I never try to get noticed. It just happens. I never try.

There are many lessons people can learn about the left. One of the key lessons is they never give anything up. Once they begin a quest, they don't stop until they've got it. The other thing that you need to learn is, they're never happy even after they succeed. They are never happy because there can never be enough to satisfy them.

Everybody wants to be loved by everybody, and they'll do everything they can to be loved, including not be who they really are, from person to person.
