Rush Limbaugh has been forced to deliver a humiliating apology for epithets he used against Sandra Fluke, a liberal activist and Georgetown law student. The apology comes as President Obama and the liberal media desperately try to paint Ms. Fluke as a victim of conservative male chauvinism - the latest casualty in a Republican “war on women.” According to the Democrats’ hysteria, women are being relegated to the Dark Ages. In fact, the opposite is true: Anti-Christian, anti-Catholic bigotry is rearing its ugly head, and it must be stopped.
Recently, Ms. Fluke testified at a House subcommittee in front of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi... The reason: Georgetown refuses to provide free contraceptive services as part of its student health care coverage. Ms. Fluke claimed that birth-control pills could cost female students as much as $3,000 by the time they graduate from law school, roughly $1,000 a year - a financially crushing burden. On behalf of “reproductive justice,” Ms. Fluke says that this assault on women should end. Mrs. Pelosi and the feminist lobby agree: Georgetown must comply with the new Obamacare contraceptive mandate and provide Ms. Fluke free birth control.
Snip
The national debate on contraception is so disconnected from reality that it would be laughable if the consequences were not so tragic. The claim that Republicans are preventing women from access to birth control is risible. Condoms, the morning-after pill, oral contraceptives - they can be purchased almost anywhere (local grocery stores, pharmacies, giant retail outlets, public bathrooms). Planned Parenthood gives them away. Nine out of 10 health plans already cover contraception and sterilization procedures....If Ms. Fluke wants to have sex, then take the personal responsibility to pay for it. Georgetown has the right not to subsidize behavior it believes to be immoral and unethical.

He didn’t say anything different.
Great article!
“Discrimination is alive and well in America - and especially prevalent throughout the Democratic Party and among its allies. Christians are routinely mocked. Their symbols and beliefs are denigrated. The Catholic Church’s institutions - schools, hospitals, charities, universities - are being persecuted. Soft totalitarianism creeps in through a liberal witch hunt conducted against those who dissent from the secular credo. Christians and every American should beware: Big Brother is on the march and will soon be knocking on your door.”
excellent article.....well done!
GREAT article.........
Is that old windbag still on the air?
Yes. And all of the leftist pundits publicly taking out long knives know in their heart of hearts that they actually need Rushbo to remain on the air as their designated dastardly villain.
You ALWAYS say that. ALWAYS.

This guy substituted for Savage the other night. I really liked his philosophy and attitude.
You know, Rush really is in the right here, no pun intended, and I think that the Democratic response is outrageous. With only the use of the words “slut” and “prostitute” he cause a whole media uproar, making him give a very unnecessary apology. I remember when Juan Williams at the liberal libel machine, NPR was fired for saying that “if I see people who are in Muslim garb... I get worried,” and was justly fired for that cruel, bigoted outburst. I’m angry that Rush was treated in the unjust way he was for his statement while there are others out there, like Juan, that really show us who in this country are the bigots.
