Rush has been targeted.
I wonder how many people remember or have read Rush's books? The one way to target a radio program is to get the sponsors to stop advertising on the show. Now, with this latest contraception business, that's exactly what's happening.
This is happening at the highest levels- which means the so called president himself. When are people going to wake up to what's happening here?
This is scary stuff. Rush treats it with humor, but it is scary stuff. We may be seeing the beginning of a dictatorship.
Am I over reacting?
This all starts with Obama trampling over the 1st amendment rights of Catholics. Now he wants to silence Limbaugh. What's next?

Super Tuesday: Which Republicans Will Show Strength in South?
Better watch out for this:
BARACK OBAMA: You know that we can't just drill our way to lower gas prices.
As long as I'm president, I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy, because our future depends on it.(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
In Delegate Race, Romney's Victories Amount To Less Than Meets The Eye
by S.V. Dáte
excerpts
It ain't over yet.
excerpts
- As improbable as it might seem, the combination of Michigan's delegate allocation rule and Arizona's rule-violating winner-take-all contest could mean that Romney's twin victories provide him little ultimate benefit — and highlight again the dual-track GOP primary campaign season. [emphasis mine]
- And then there is Arizona. That state advertised a winner-take-all primary and awarded its 29 delegates to Romney. But that format violates the Republican National Committee prohibition against such events prior to April 1.
- So Arizona is in the same boat as Florida, which also awarded its 50 delegates winner take all (also to Romney) on Jan. 31.
- both states' delegates could be reallocated by the Committee on Contests
It ain't over yet.
Romney's Upper Hand
Kudlow
quote
I don't think I'd put too much faith on marginal tax rates right now. I agree in principle, but Obama's energy starvation mode is what should be priority. It is dangerous on many levels. Particularly in national security. We must have enough energy to run the economy. Without it, it won't matter what the tax rate is.
To be fair, I should include this quote as well:
He ends by talking about proper emphasis. My worry is that by spending time on tax rates, the energy side of the economic mess is going to get short shrift. That would be a mistake.
quote
...when Romney delivered his tax-policy speech at the Detroit Economic Club a week ago, he talked about after-tax incentives on the next dollar earned. And he correctly noted the incentive effect of allowing Americans to keep more of what they earn after-tax. This addressed a key question among conservatives: Does Romney get the incentive model of growth? The answer is yes. Romney's 20 percent tax cut brings him back to the Reagan supply side.Comment:

How long until Obama says Georgetown is acting “stupidly”?

I'm not knocking the professor here. One is obligated to pay attention to the buzz. But the buzz is dumb.
This story is all over the place. While Rome burns, these people are fiddling with this nonsense. Once again, it isn't about contraception, it is about religious freedom.

BREAKING: Mitt Romney Urged Obama to Embrace the Individual Mandate

Comment:
So Romney can't help on ObamaCare. He advocated it.
Update:
He was for it before he was against it
In July 2009, Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed in USA Today urging Barack Obama to use an individual mandate at the national level to control healthcare costs.

Obama's Algae Biofuels
March 1, 2012 By Stephen Lacey
I don't agree with the thesis that biofuels could do this, but that's is not my point. My point is that the Republicans don't have a good enough answer for these concerns, regardless of whether or not that you agree that it is a concern.
For instance, you can reduce the use of carbon dioxide and achieve lower prices at the same time. The biofuel argument fails on that economic score, but it may succeed on another score if the environmentalists are successful in promoting their flawed idea of finite resources.
The solution here for both scores could be thorium fuel cycle as advocated by Kirk Sorensen. Nuclear energy has become a dirty word, but it is something for the future, and the future would not be far off, and would not entail a large expenditure of cash in order to realize its potential.
The thorium fuel cycle creates much less waste than the uranium fuel cycle and uses far fewer resources than even biofuels. It is virtually inexhaustible, as there are thousands of years worth of supplies. It would leave a small environmental footprint, as it is quite concentrated. Biofuels would take up too much of a truly finite resource--- land. Furthermore, thorium fuel cycle reactors could make electricity even cheaper than fossil fuels, all without carbon dioxide.
It makes so much sense on both scores that, as the they saying goes, it is the main reason it is not being done.
The article does make a legitimate point. Innovation has become a dirty word. But I thank Romney for that. Thanks for his failure to see innovation as a hopeful thing, as opposed to a thing that should be ridiculed, Obama could take the high ground, while leaving us high and dry on energy. Obama's Solyndra economy will fail and we will be left holding the bag.
For those concerned about finite resources and maintaining a liveable planet, innovation means finding entirely new, clean sources of energy.
