Rush In a Hurry - July 11, 2008
Rush In A Hurry Show Notes ^ | 7/11/08 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/11/2008 5:17:23 PM PDT by Vision

On Castrati Thursday’s Show...

Humorist Mark Steyn, outsourced from Canada, filled in behind the Golden EIB Microphone while Rush visited the dentist. Mark enjoyed our First Amendment for a day, while up north his book "America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It" came under assault from the Canadian government for offending Islam.

A Muslim living in Canada charged Mark with hate crimes over an excerpt of his book in Maclean's magazine, and filed a complaint before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal! For Details, check out FreeMarkSteyn.com and MichelleMalkin.com.

The Rush 24/7 Audio Archives: Listen to the entire Mark Steyn show in streaming audio, or as a podcast; or get any Rush-hosted show from the past month.

The Latest from Rush...
The Democrat National Committee Platform director has publically thanked Rush for Phase II of Operation Chaos, welcoming all of you to help write the platform that The Lord Messiah Barack Obama will run on this fall. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Mark Steyn Pearl of Wisdom: "The minute you say you want to meet liberalism halfway you're moving the center ground into their part of the field."

We don't hear it from many of our fellow countrymen, but Mark Steyn is not shy about saying it: "I love America." (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen to Mark's Monologue Here)

Mark Steyn Pearl of Wisdom: "Liberalism is the default position for people who don't think about politics much. We don't have to try and convert the left-wing kooks, but the cultural liberals. Cultural liberals are a big growth opportunity for conservatism." (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen to Mark's Monologue Here)

» The UK Telegraph: President Bush: "Goodbye from the World's Biggest Polluter"

Mark Steyn Pearl of Wisdom: "People want to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine to radio -- which is a crazy idea -- because they're upset there's one little corner of the landscape where cultural liberalism does not dominate. Why not have a Fairness Doctrine in American bookstores and universities?"
» Washington Post: Keep Free Speech » The Politcio: "Fairness Doctrine" Hypocrisy

Mark, who has roots in bilingual Belgium and Canada, explains why Obama's push for a Spanish-English nation is the surest route to decline, adding that such countries are also notoriously humorless. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen to Mark's Monologue Here)

Rush Weighs in On Obama's Bilingual Sermon...
"Rather than urging people in our country to speak English, Lord Obama wants us all to learn Spanish (which, by the way, he can't speak). Urging Americans to speak foreign languages is fine, but in context of his other views, this is an indication of where his head is. He would prefer to be running for president of a Western European country. He's embarrassed by America." (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here)

Rush returns on Monday for more broadcast excellence.

Early in the broadcast, Mark said something like, "Anyone who thinks 9/11 was a government plot or thinks government is the answer to everything, please call. We don't cut off the nuts on this program."

I had to stop what I was doing and laugh out loud. That's one funny dood...

This was one of the best shows I’ve ever heard. Steyn is incredible.

I was actually returning from a funeral on Friday afternoon when he came on, and I was in NO mood for laughter. But little by little Steyn lifted my spirits. By three o’clock I was laughing so hard I scared the dogs.

He did. He lives in New Hampshire. You know, the Live Free or Die state. Appropriate.

Thank you, He did and He is, and today Mark Steyn was one of the many small ways He used.

Steyns doing good work trying to keep Canada free. We need allies, not Islamic puppet states as neighbors.
