Time Text
And greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Great to have you here.
Fastest three hours in media.
And we just keep on trucking, heading on down the highway of truth, El Rushbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's the telephone number, 800 282-2882.
Email address L Rushbaugh at EIB net.com.
Well, Whitecleft Jean is going to have a press conference here pretty soon.
It seems that some people are targeting him and him alone.
Whiteclef Jean is running charitable operations for relief efforts in Haiti.
And some people, experts, we are told by NBC News, say that Yyclef Jean's administrative expenses may be going into his pocket, that he may be personally profiting.
By virtue of his charitable operations for earthquake victims in Haiti.
Now why single out this guy?
There are all kinds of charitable organizations that are that are working around the clock every day in Haiti, even before the earthquake happened.
Why single out this guy?
The White House, this is the first White House in history which has asked for these kinds of donations to go to a website run by the president of the United States.
And folks, I have to tell you something.
If you think a dollar of welfare ends up as a dollar of welfare when it gets distributed, you're wrong.
Ten years ago, the administrative cost of a dollar of welfare was 28 cents.
I'm sure it's higher now, which meant that only 72 cents of every dollar taxed or printed for welfare spending got spent.
Only 72 cents every dollar.
The government, you won't say it profited, but but you have to pay people that administer these things.
There are a lot of charities.
The administrative costs are high.
There are a lot of charities, the administrative costs are low.
There are some charities that do a 100% pass through.
But why focus on this guy?
Why focus on this guy?
Could it be?
Could it be that they want all of his money to go through the White House website?
I mean, that's I mean it's a natural question to ask.
Uh in in in discussing this.
You know, could do it during Hurricane Katrina.
And let's be let's be honest about something here.
The the media is not comparing Obama's efforts in Haiti to the possible.
And that's the difference in what's being reported in Haiti and how what happened in Katrina, New Orleans was reported.
During Katrina, it was reported that Bush didn't do enough.
Bush was portrayed as a superman, who with a push of a button could make anything happen.
Here we had Shemp Smith of Fox News in tears in New Orleans.
How can it be happening?
Haroldo was down the same thing.
In tears, how can all this be happened?
Why where is the government?
It was portrayed, and that was after two days.
It was portrayed as though Bush could do anything, and he didn't want to.
And then people like Jeremiah Wright and the Reverend Jackson and some other prominent Democrats said, Well, you know, these people are black and Bush really doesn't care.
That was stated.
That was stated.
Kanye West about black people.
Kanye West said it.
Bush doesn't care about black people.
Ah, my memory's long in this stuff.
I don't forget it.
With a push of a button, Bush could have done anything, but he chose not to.
Now we're not seeing that with Haiti.
With Haiti, what are we hearing?
We're hearing about all the physical limitations, the problems, the bottlenecks, the impossibility of it all.
So good old Obama is trying as hard as he can, but there are just insurmountable odds.
There are just insurmountable obstacles.
Oh, poor Obama, he's doing everything.
We're gonna nail that Whitecliffe John go away.
Obama's doing everything he can.
But man, there's just so much in the way.
He's got Bill Clinton helping out, he's got George W. Bush helping out, uh, and Hillary landed down there.
He's doing everything he possibly can, but oh, it's just impossible.
Well, are there things that Obama and more specifically the military could be doing in Haiti if they really wanted to?
Are there?
I mean, I'm just asking.
Could the Navy go in there and build a new seaport, for instance?
Could well they get started on it?
They may not be able to redo it quickly.
Could they repair this one, for instance?
But somehow we got a closed port, we got a clogged airport.
My point is the media is not demanding these things be dealt with.
The media is not demanding it.
Obama fixed these.
The media is not betraying Obama with a magic button, a magic wand that can make all this get fixed overnight.
They did that with Bush.
The media is making excuses for Obama.
The media is making excuses for Clinton.
Did you hear what Clinton said?
Campaigning for Marcia Oxley, Marsh uh uh Cockley, Martha Coxley.
Excuse me.
I've had so many people mispronouncing her name, and I'm trying to honor them and I'm I'm goofing it up myself.
Bill Clinton said, because he went up there and he did an appearance for her on Friday.
He said going up and making a campaign appearance for Martha Coakley and Haiti Aid are two sides of the same coin.
Oh yes, he did.
I have it right here in my stack.
I did, let me find it.
Let me find it.
I've got it right here.
You don't doubt me on this.
Uh it's in the stack here.
I went past it because a bunch of stuff I wanted to get to first.
Well, let me find it during the break, because I'm I'm I'm but he did.
He said that both of us that the two sides are the same coin, which means, I mean, Cokley, that's purely political.
Purely political.
Now the president of the United States, let me let me just ask a question, because they're raking me over the coals here for being flat out honest.
I never said don't donate.
I simply said there are a lot of better places to donate than White House.gov.
If people have been on the ground, their missionary services there, there are you've got you've got the Red Cross, you've got the United Way, there's all kinds of people that are in Haiti before this happened.
So is it let me just ask a question?
Is it politicizing Haiti to direct Americans to White House.gov to contribute?
I think it is.gov.
You see, the President of the United States politicized Haiti when instead of referring to non-political entities for contributions to Haiti relief efforts, he gave them his own highly politicized White House website, Whitehouse.gov.
It's been a political tool from day one.
From stay connected to the blogs to the touting of purely partisan initiatives and a majority of Americans have flatly rejected.
That site, Whitehouse.gov, is used for partisan purposes to mine email addresses, to cultivate political volunteers and voters, and to mobilize them.
And there are companion websites organized now or whatever it is.
Now the president could have referred Americans to the Red Cross for charitable giving and a number of apolitical organizations, but he didn't do that, although there is a link at Whitehouse.gov to go to the Red Cross, but he didn't refer you got to go to the White House got gov to see it.
Now the White House has proudly declared, Rom Emanuel did this, folks.
I look at I didn't say this.
They did.
The White House has proudly declared that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
That a crisis has to be held to a higher non-benefit of the doubt standard.
Look at, do you think the Democrats are still politicizing Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath?
Do you think the media still is?
There's no doubt they are.
They're still politicizing that.
The White House still blames its predecessor instead of accepting responsibility for its own votes and policies.
Obama voted for every spending measure he now blames Bush for.
The buck has never stopped at this White House, and it never will, as long as the state-controlled propaganda reporting media remains retired from journalism and full-fledged into propaganda.
This this White House, folks, prop uh politicized 9-11.
What do you mean, Roush?
What do you mean?
Let me remind you.
The White House politicized 9-11 when it made it a day of service.
Remember that?
9-11 should be a day of service, which is a left-wing political belief.
It politicized art and artists.
The White House in a conference call with selected artists who were rounded up by the National Endowment for the Arts to participate in paid political art to help support administration policies.
This has been exposed by Andrew Breitbart at Biggovernment.com.
There are endless and countless examples of subtle and not so subtle efforts by this White House to recruit and organize Americans for the political benefit of one Barack Obama.
You know it and I know it.
The White House website has been used to recruit union members to disrupt the Tea Parties and town halls last August.
It has been obnoxious, inappropriate, unethical, and some experts that I've talked to say illegal.
To push back twice as hard on the relentless, never ending political games by this White House has become an unpleasant responsibility.
But I shoulder it.
I happily do so.
To ignore the manipulative organizing practices of this administration is to give them a free pass to brazenly consolidate power under the guise of good intentions and public service.
And that is exactly what they have to do.
Folks, I'm gonna tell you, it sickens me to have to be the one to point out sleeves dressed up as honorable public service.
If the media were halfway doing its job, I wouldn't have to point out that a pervert has been named not just a czar, but the safe school czar.
If the media did its job, it would demand transparency.
If the media did its job, it would investigate the epic corruption of Nancy Pelosi, of Harry Reid, of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.
I mean, this is low-hanging fruit, just waiting to be picked.
If the media did its job, it would demand to see Barack Obama's college and law school transcripts, and that just scratches the surface.
You see, to demand a higher standard of this president may be an uncomfortable burden at times, but I wear it as a badge of honor.
We used to demand this higher standard from every president.
I don't think Barack Obama could handle one week of the treatment George W. Bush got for five years.
I don't think he or anybody in this administration could put up with it.
The president worked for us, he reports to us, and when he tries to manipulate and politicize people and situations that cross the boundaries of responsible public service, I will call him out.
And I don't do it for any other reason than it is the proper role of a responsible citizen.
The day it becomes irresponsible to hold public servants accountable, then I could say this country's great experiment in self-governance is over.
And I'm not ready to stand by while our heritage, our inheritance of the freest country ever created is slowly given away by somebody who has apologized time and again for our proud history.
Still infuriates me.
A man who means it when he says he will remake America if given the chance.
Just so you know, I don't intend to passively sit by while he executes this plan of his.
And everything that's happened to this country over the last year is part of a plan.
Only a fool or an accomplice would conclude otherwise.
I find it next to impossible, very difficult to sit by and quietly watch this travesty happen and say I couldn't do anything about it due to political correctness.
You're just not supposed to criticize people in the midst of charitable efforts.
Why not?
If the charitable effort is being used for their own purposes and are they not going after Whitecleft Jean?
Why are they singling him out?
I frankly don't know anything about his charity, but either are a lot of people that are doing charity work out.
Why single him out?
Political correctness is killing this country.
I'm simply choosing not to participate.
It would be irresponsible.
Talent on loan from God.
Right here it is.
It's in the it's in the DC examiner, Clinton, Haiti Relief, Democrat politicking are two sides of the same coin.
Somebody asked me today, Clinton said, Well, why are you going to this political rally?
And I said to him, this is just two sides of the same coin.
You have to bear with me.
I have friends killed there.
I worked with this country for 35 years.
Hillary and I had a good cry on the phone because the cathedral we sat in the pews 35 years ago was finally destroyed.
Clinton said that they used frequent flyer miles in 1975 to go to Hawaii.
There's only one problem with that.
The frequent flyer mileage program didn't go into effect until 1981, until after airline deregulation in 1978.
There was no such thing as frequent flyer miles in 1975.
You can look it up.
But doesn't matter.
Two sides of the same coin.
And they they get mad at me for accusing these guys of politicizing things.
They had a good cry.
He and Hillary had a good cry because the cathedral where they prayed in 35 years ago went down.
That's what he said.
He and Hillary had a good cry on the phone.
Now look at you you process that however you wish.
I have a soundbite here to illustrate my good friend.
Oh, and one more thing here about this this White House.gov from the Politico.
This is about a year ago, January 20th of 2009.
The new White House website, unveiled by President Obama's team Tuesday, includes a shot at former President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina.
Under the agenda portion of the site regarding Katrina, it says President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
And it goes on.
So don't tell me, you people in the press, don't tell me and don't tell anybody else that I'm off track when I say this man politicizes everything, including the Haiti relief effort, by asking people to go to Whitehouse.gov.
And don't ever tell them I'm telling people not to donate there because I've or to Havy because I've not said that.
I have said you've already donated to the government in the form of your taxes.
You already have.
And what do they do?
Authorized a hundred million dollars?
From the government.
So that's been done.
You want to donate, go someplace else.
Remember, Obama wants to remove the charitable deduction.
He wants all charitable uh contributions or all charitable outlays to come from government in the future.
Now, here's another website, or another soundbite rather, to uh to explain the elitist arrogance of people like Marcia Coakley.
This is from Fox 25 in Boston this morning.
She was on television this morning, and the host said 61% of the people respond to that Suffolk poll, say they don't think the government can afford this health care plan.
Are they wrong?
Now listen to her answer.
They are wrong because the plan, if you look at it over the next 10 years, will be cost neutral from the budget office.
But what's more important, Gene, is that what it does is change the way we think about health care.
We're gonna do more screening early on.
We're gonna get those kids who are gonna have diabetes.
We're gonna do cancer screening.
We don't have a health care system that works now.
We only fix people when they're sick already, and it costs too much.
And it's hard to measure that, and it's also a little complicated.
So it's too hard for people to understand.
It's just a little too complicated.
We do not have a 10-year cost neutral plan for the budget office.
We have a trick, Ms. Cochley.
The trick is the taxes begin immediately, the so-called benefits, the spending doesn't start for four years.
And that's how they arrive at budget neutral over ten years, but it's nowhere near budget neutral.
You know, we've told you about Hillsdale College on this program a lot, Larry Arne uh, and about how tough they are in the students, even when you're right, you're wrong at Hillsdale.
You have to be able to articulate why you're right and prove it to every professor.
Hillsdale College, they graduate four out of five of every student with a four-point oh over the last half a decade.
But however, I'm told this seminar, there's a seminar they're doing now on the Constitution.
And it's this month.
The scholars at Hillsdale College have created an online live seminar that's all about the Constitution.
The same college that has proudly graduated four out of five of their students with a 4.0 over the last half a decade.
Hillsdale College.
I've spoken there.
Great people.
It's one of the finest and fiercest defenders and advocates of our Constitution and how absolutely unique it is.
They figure if you're going to defend it and protect your rights and freedoms, you got to be empowered with information.
I don't know how many studies I've seen the past six months that have shown how many of us feel that our constitutional rights are being stripped away right in front of our eyes, but there are a slew of them.
So on Saturday, January 30th, the Hillsdale people are pulling together one huge online seminar all about the Constitution, and it's free.
No strings attached.
You imagine explaining to Jefferson and Hamilton, the rest of the bunch the magnitude of this.
All you do is go online to Constitution Downhall.com and register.
It's free.
It's not all day.
It's on a Saturday.
It's the last day of January, January 30th, and it's a godsend.
And it is an encyclopedic seminar for you.
Constitution Town Hall.com.
Go there and register.
I promise you there are no strings.
It's totally free.
Hillsdale, just one of the many institutions trying to save the U.S. Constitution by informing millions about it.
That's Constitution Town Hall dot com.
And let me ask you another question here, folks.
Would a man who politicizes a man caused disaster 911-911 politicize a natural disaster?
Let me point this out.
Barack Obama has given a terrorist, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, constitutional rights and a show trial in New York City.
He did this for political purposes.
Don't tell me this is the best legal way to resolve this.
Obama wants the media to help him smear President Bush and Vice President Cheney based upon the rantings of a Muslim extremist.
Obama is willing to bankrupt New York City, ignore the Constitution, destroy the CIA, and launch a banana republic style attack on his predecessor to advance his political agenda.
It's one of the most brazen and destructive political ploys in American history, but it's there for everybody to see who cares to deal with reality.
And I am grounded in reality.
I am Mr. Literal.
So would a man who politicizes 9-11, would a man who politicizes Hurricane Katrina politicize an earthquake?
I think so.
The White House released a timeline trying to establish, and I mentioned this earlier, a four-day, minute-by-minute timeline trying to establish Obama's concern and leadership in Haiti.
I think it's a great deal.
This comes after his total lack of concern regarding Fort Hood, the terror attack there, the attempted terror attack on Christmas Day.
This comes with the president's approval ratings in freefall.
It's uncomfortable to connect the dots, but it's far more uncomfortable for me not to connect them.
Now let's not forget here, folks, this is the same person who wants to exempt his union political contributors from a tax on health care policies.
Obama is trying to get you and me to pick up the tab for unions, workers who earn an average wages and benefits of 175,000 dollars a year, just like he wants 49 states to pick up the tab for Nebraska and Louisiana.
This is a man who thinks that it's appropriate to fine and jail Americans for not buying health insurance.
So would a man who politicizes man caused disasters?
911 politiciz a natural disaster.
The dots are there for everybody to connect.
Or they can try to distract from the obvious by attacking me.
Now, Michael D. Tanner.
This is an article that originally appeared in the Christian Science Monitor on September 20th of 2005.
And it's from the Cato Institute, which is libertarian think tank.
Katrina, government failure, private success.
And this this is a it's it's a long article.
Let me give you some excerpts from it.
As we as we hear calls for a compassionate response to the victims.
It is important to remember that you can't be compassionate with other people's money.
He's he's writing this about Katrina.
This difference is as simple as the difference between my reaching into my pocket for money to help somebody in need and my reaching into your pocket for the same purpose.
The former is charity.
The latter is not.
Moreover, private charity has long been recognized as more effective and efficient than government welfare programs.
Local churches and community groups are the best positioned to understand the needs in their respective areas and can direct money or services to where they are most useful.
Private charities are generally far more flexible than government charities, which are frequently bogged down in red tape and regulations.
Just ask yourself: who has done a better job at timely and effective response?
FEMA or the American Red Cross.
It's not to say that government has no role in dealing with a disaster like Katrina.
From policing to search and rescue to infrastructure repair, the government has and will continue to be active, but there's a danger in turning to the government too quickly or too often.
If people come to believe that government will provide the funding, they may decide that there's less need for their own contributions.
This will result in a loss, but not only of money, but of the human quality of charity.
And this is all that I was saying.
All that I was saying when I said, you know, don't go to this White House.gov business.
That's a politicized entity.
There are countless private charities to donate to.
Find them, Red Cross and so forth, and uh and do it that way.
Nobody here, including me, ever said, don't donate.
Which is what they're trying to distract you with.
And more importantly, trying to distract me.
They were hoping I would lead off my show with this today and ignore what's going on in Massachusetts and what's going on with health care.
But I am not going to let them distract me.
Now let's go to the audio sound bites on this.
Because it's interesting.
If you listened far enough on uh Face the Nation yesterday, you heard Bill Clinton eventually agree with me.
Takes three sound bites to get there.
Bob Schieffer is talking to Bill Clinton.
Here's the first of three bites.
Rush Limbaugh said, for example, that President Obama might try to use this for political means to shore up support for himself in the black community.
And he said, we've already donated to Haiti.
They call it the U.S. income tax.
What's your response to that?
Oh, I don't have any, you know.
I I think we should.
It's not fruitful to get involved in that.
I think every American has been heartbroken by what's happened, and I just think it doesn't do us any good to waste any time in what is, in my opinion, a fruitless and pointless conversation.
Schaefer says, What would you say, uh, Mr. President Bush?
I say now's not the time to focus on politics.
It's time to focus on helping people.
I mean, look, you got children who's lost their parents.
People wonder where they're going to be able to drink water.
There's a great sense of desperation.
And so my attention is on trying to help people deal with the desperation.
So Bob Schaeffer then says, What do you and Clinton interrupts?
Let's take a serious point that Mr. Limbaugh was making is that Americans pay for the government and the military's down there doing their part.
But in a disaster of this magnitude, there is no way that uh the government, which has other responsibilities as well, national security and other responsibilities.
You just can't deal with this just with government money.
That's what all these faith-based groups are doing down there.
That's what all these other non-governmental groups are doing.
And we think Americans know that want to help.
Exactly, which is my point from the get-go, which was distorted by the media watchdogs that watch and Misreport this program and people like Bob Schaefer who don't listen to this program, then get an idea, a distorted idea of what I said.
The government can't do it all.
I can't believe he actually admitted it.
These guys are having you believe government can do everything.
Government can fix your health care.
Government can solve war.
Government can solve pestilence.
Government can do everything.
Now it can't.
Did you ever hear them say this during Katrina?
Government can't do everything.
You never heard them say this during Katrina.
So vindication for me is all over the place.
It's out there for one and all to see and here.
Let's grab a phone call quickly.
Who's next?
Sarasota, Florida.
Jeff, I'm glad you waited.
Thanks for your patience and hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
I was calling in regards to Martin Luther King's birthday and national holiday.
We're celebrating it.
And what I wanted to comment was, well, actually I had two comments, but I'm very tired of the revisionist history they're talking about with Martin Luther King.
Because most people, I would reckon 90% of anybody I've ever spoken with think that he was a diehard Democrat.
And it's simply not true.
He was Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.
His father was a Republican.
His grandfather was a Republican.
I did not know any of this.
Yes.
He viewed Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Okay.
He ultimately became a Democrat.
Well, a de facto Democrat when he was in jail.
And you see, Kennedy had voted against the nineteen fifty-seven civil rights bill when he was uh senator.
And when Martin Luther King was in jail, Coretta made uh Fausian bargain with Kennedy to get Martin Luther King Jr. out of jail by throwing her support in their direction, and Kennedy reciprocated by saying, I'll go along with the civil rights bill.
But yes, Martin Luther King was a Republican.
So you're saying he's a Republican until 1960, basically.
Basically.
Well, I do know, I do know that Richard Nixon was the first political figure to bring uh Martin Luther King to Washington uh as a political figure in the 50s.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But I didn't know I didn't know that King was a uh Republican nor his ancestors.
I didn't know that either.
Jeff, thanks much.
I have to, I'm in a hurry here, but one other related story to Martin Luther King Day, this from the San Francisco Chronicle today.
The Northern California Martin Luther King Jr.
Birthday Observance Committee, after more than twenty years of planning San Francisco's annual celebration, abruptly disbanded in September.
This is the first time in twenty years there's not a Martin Luther King March.
The Marchers are too old.
They can't do it anymore.
The Reverend Cecil Williams and four board members cited declining participant numbers over the years and sensed it was time to pass the torch to younger activists.
But the younger activists didn't show up.
Nobody took the torch.
The Martin Luther King parade canceled in San Francisco.
for the first time once in 20 years.
Hey, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh.
And I want to play one more soundbite before we get back This is Mark Halperin, who is one half of the authorship of the book Game Change.
And he was on Meet the Press yesterday during the round table.
He's now at Time Magazine.
He said this.
We see Rush Limbaugh say something outrageous and not a lot of repudiation from Republicans in Congress or others to say this is unacceptable.
It's a time when the American people are showing our best to help.
I'm talking about other Republicans in this country who shouldn't be silent.
It's such an outrageous remark at a time when we should be coming together.
So I don't know what he thinks I said.
All I said was, don't go to Whitehouse.gov.
If you're going to donate, do something more efficient than a politicized website run by the President of the United States.
But Mr. Mr. Halperin.
I could just as easily say that nobody in the media has chided you For not denouncing you for withholding all this information in your book during the campaign for your own personal profit.
If I wanted to, I could sit here and say, where's the rest of the media?
Not denouncing Mark Alperin.
He had all this data on John and Elizabeth Edwards.
He had all this data on the Clintons.
He had all of this information of what was going on, information that would have impacted the campaign.
And he withheld it for profit for a book.
And I thought journalists were about the news.
I didn't think they were about profit.
I thought they didn't believe in profit.
And I don't see any journalist denouncing Mark Halperon or his co-author for withholding important, vitally important campaign information during that news cycle.
And even Howard Kurtz.
Game change.
Howard Kurtz on background sourcing issues.
And uh he's he's just he's he's a little distressed here.
These passages in the new book are at odds with the smoothly functioning Obama machine depicted by much of the media.
Howard Kurtz is wringing his hands.
Why we didn't know what was going on in this campaign.
We thought the Obama machine was smooth and oiled and we're just heading on down the tracks.
And we didn't know.
Uh come on, Howard, just say it.
The media lied to us for a year for profit.
Why don't you denounce Mark Halperin for this instead of wringing your hands about, oh my God, why things were not like we thought.
And your journalists?
Who's next?
Arles Redondo Beach, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm honored to speak to you and a million thanks for all you do for everyone uh keeping us educated.
Thank you very much.
I have a complaint.
On January 9th, I sent out my absentee ballot to for Massachusetts election.
And Saturday, it came back into my mailbox here.
And the only thing I can figure out while I'm uh waiting here is where they have the return to go back to my hometown in Chickaby Mass is that it is stamped so light that uh that the that it didn't get read in the uh post office.
And I'm wondering if that's deliberate because I'm a registered Republican.
Well, I don't know.
They how can they know you're a registered Republican just from your Amnesty ballot without opening your envelope?
Well, but because I've always been, you know, when they mail it out.
But I just wondered because where it has my address um It could well be.
Look at these are Democrats, you know, and they're desperate.
It could well be that they looked up your address, found out you're a registered Republican and sent it back.
I mean, it is a union in the post office.
Hell, I don't know.
With Democrats, you cannot reject this kind of thing.
You just can't.
It may sound implausible, it may sound impossible, but you just can't reject it out of hand.
In the old days, you could.
Uh, the absentees that have been counted so far, Scott Brown has a sixteen-point edge.
Nine percent of the vote so far as uh early absentees.
Heritage Foundation releases this is cool, folks.
This is really cool.
It's 2010 index of economic freedom this week.
They co-author this for the Wall Street Journal.
And it is just another great example of the kind of comprehensive research you can expect from them.
Great organization, the Heritage Foundation is going to be available in detail at Askheritage.org this week.
And when you are a member, this is the kind of report, the kind of work you can expect.
