BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay, Ronald Reagan March 8, 2013, Orlando, this was at the National Association of Evangelicals' annual convention. By the way, just so there's no confusion, the reason I'm playing these bites for you is so that you understand, especially those of you who were too young or not interested back in 1983, that this is nothing new, that a president who won election in two landslides spoke the same way as Santorum. I'm not saying that Santorum is Reagan. I'm saying that what is happening with Santorum, the fact that he believes what he believes, is not...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, yesterday, as I mentioned, Matt Drudge posted excerpts from a speech Santorum gave at Ave Maria University back in 2008, and in that speech Santorum said Satan had set his sights on America. You know, I've talked about Satan on this program. Well, I didn't do it on this program. I discovered Satanic messages in Slim Whitman music back in Sacramento. I have my own experiences with the devil. I almost resigned when I found out about this. I was doing a Peace Update, and at the time the Global Peace March was going on for...

In the aftermath of Drudge’s shameful headline story yesterday, Rush decided to take a dig at Drudge using his new headline about $6 gas prices:

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Santorum showed up yesterday on Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer. And, folks, it was like Bob Schieffer, who's, what, 90? Ninety-two? Bob Schieffer talking to Rick Santorum actually appeared as though Schieffer thought Santorum was from Mars. It was a space alien. What he thought, the things he had said, Schieffer could not believe that there was a human being alive on this planet who could think that way, who believed these things. He was shocked. He was stunned. And it goes to show the Republican establishment, clearly the Democrat Party establishment, do not have the...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let's just jump feet first into this Santorum business. I want to start actually with Friday night's Hardball. Chris Matthews had the editor-at-large from Salon.com, Joan Walsh, as a guest. And they were talking about Obama's decision that insurance companies pay for contraception coverage for employees of religious-based businesses. That's what happened at the same time Obama's approval numbers were plummeting. Now, you're gonna be hearing something that isn't true in this bite. They cite a poll that shows 66% support of Obama's federal requirement that private insurance plans cover the full cost of birth control. No....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Well-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l. How about this, ladies and gentlemen? It looks like the establishment Republicans are very worried that Romney cannot win, even if he is nominated. They're very, very worried that, even if Romney is nominated, he can't win, yet they continue to push him. There are a bunch of pieces. By the way, greetings. Great to have you here on Presidents Day. Yes, I know it's a holiday. I did not get deceived by the staff, as I announced on Friday. I was given the option, I was told that today was gonna be Presidents Day and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Michael Barone had a piece in National Review Online that I saw posted late last night. It's entitled, "Reversing Obama's Soft Despotism." What intrigued me or what caught my attention about this piece was its references to Alexis de Tocqueville as it relates to our democracy and the Republicans. And let me just paraphrase a little bit here about what Barone says. "They want to turn back the Obama Democrats' advance into what Alexis de Tocqueville ... characterized as soft despotism. Tocqueville, after describing in 'Democracy in America' how Americans avoided the perils of equality..." That right...

Quick Drive By Post....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There's a story here. This is another one. Most people would read this and wouldn't connect the dots, but look at this one. This is from the Wall Street Journal: "General Motors Co. is freezing the pay of its 26,000 U.S. salaried employees and will eliminate its traditional pension contribution for those salaried workers who still receive them in moves to reduce financial risks and cut costs." Well, guess who owns General Motors now? You say "Obama." No, it's the unions, the United Auto Workers. Guess what's going on here. Do you realize the grievance and the...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is from Rayford, North Carolina. Carolina Journal. I'm gonna read it to you exactly as it printed out here. "A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious. The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day." Again, let me read this to you...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: In that sense, as the program unfolds today, we're gonna go back and revisit this whole contraception, abortion, Catholic Church business. There was a piece called to my attention over the weekend at Ricochet, it's a website started by a good friend of mine Peter Robinson. Peter Robinson took over the equivalent of Firing Line, hosted by William Buckley when Buckley gave that show up. Peter's out at Stanford at Palo Alto and he started the website Ricochet, and it's a highbrow place, highbrow conservatives. Paul Rahe (r-a-h-e), a professor at Hillsdale College, wrote a brilliant piece...
