RUSH: You know, just like the Obama administration\u2019s effort to manufacture a recovery taking place, a dynamic, ongoing economic recovery, virtual recovery, nobody believes that. And nobody is moved by this phony, staged contraception <\/a>nonsense. Everybody knows where to get this stuff, everybody knows where to get a birth control pill or a condom. Everybody knows. And everybody knows it\u2019s cheap. Nobody thinks anybody\u2019s going broke because of this. This is how they overreach. Send a woman up there talking about going broke regarding a place that costs $45,000 a year to attend? <\/p>\n

Now, see, I welcome this. The reason I\u2019m spending a little bit of time on this is because it\u2019s about much more than just this one woman wanting us to pay for her to have sex all the time. If this is where the left wants to fight the battle of government-run health care, then this is where it should be fought, and that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing. This whole episode is to advance the premise of government-run health care, and notice the left is choosing contraception, not cancer, not heart disease, not diabetes. They\u2019re choosing one-dollar condoms. They have decided to build their case for government-run health care around a female law student attending an expensive law school, who not only wants a scholarship — the Wilt Chamberlain Scholarship — to pay her tuition, she wants the rest of us to pay for her sex. <\/line><\/p>\n

This is the issue they have gone to the mat on. They want contraception to be the battle where government-run health care is fought over. Not cancer, not heart disease, not diabetes, but one-dollar condoms. But here\u2019s what they don\u2019t get. Talk about all the women that use birth control, the percentages, 98, 99%. Fine. But up \u2019til now, individuals paid for that themselves, because what really is going on here is the end of personal responsibility. Ms. Fluke is asking to be exempted from personal responsibility. She wants all the sex that she wants all the time paid for by the rest of us. She wants no consequences for it, or to it. She wants a penalty-free, moral-free life where everybody else pays for the mistakes that she makes as a consequence of the way she lives her life. <\/p>\n

<\/a>So she\u2019s asking to be exempted from any personal responsibility for her life and for her health. She doesn\u2019t want to have to take on the personal responsibility of all that. Furthermore, the Democrats obviously now want to control women\u2019s birth control. They want to decide who can have it and when. And they have decided to circle the wagons and fight the concept of government-run health care over a dollar condom, or a prescription for birth control pills. This is what happens, folks, when you give up a freedom. Somebody\u2019s glad to take it from you. This woman is hardly courageous. This woman is a useful idiot. She marches to Capitol Hill and says, “Here, take my freedom. And make everybody else pay for what I do.” I have to remind people of this each and every day. <\/p>\n

And who\u2019s the villain? I am. I\u2019m the villain for pointing out the consequences of women giving over control of birth control to the government. I\u2019m the villain for pointing out the absolute insanity of all of this. I\u2019m the villain because I\u2019m spoiling the party. I\u2019m not playing along. I\u2019m not winking. Now, the latest is — Snerdley, who sent the letter to Issa? Fourteen Democrats on Darrell Issa\u2019s congressional committee have sent him a letter demanding that he renounce me? Oh. Led by Elijah Cummings, the former head of the Congressional Black Caucasians. The CBC. The Congressional Black Caucasians, Elijah Cummings — is his daughter named Filet? No, Mignon. No, that\u2019s Clyburn. Okay, so they\u2019ve sent Issa a letter demanding that he denounce me or renounce me or whatever. This is how they do it. They\u2019ve tried this. ‘Cause if Issa renounces me, they\u2019ve hit their grand slam fundraising and all this.<\/p>\n

You know what I ought to do? I ought to grant him permission to do it. I ought to give him an “exemption,” a one-time exemption. Go ahead, Darrell, we\u2019ll wink, we both know what\u2019s going on here. Then they\u2019ll go to Boehner and then they\u2019ll go to Paul Ryan and then they\u2019ll go to Eric Cantor and then this is gonna come up in the next debate, whatever it is, this will come up. Could be in the Huckabee value debate, could be the presidential debate, it\u2019s gonna come up. “Mr. Obama, President Obama, do you agree with Rush Limbaugh that 99% of the women in America are sluts,” will be the question. (laughing) And I\u2019m gonna say, “Oh, my gosh, why couldn\u2019t my parents be alive to see this?” The Democrats want to convince us personal responsibility is something the government should do for you, and that\u2019s what this episode is all about. It\u2019s exactly what this is all about. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t do this very often. I do this less than once a year. But I\u2019m gonna do it now. Folks, I have something I want you to do. I want you to find — and I want you to do it on your own. I want you to find the e-mail address<\/a> for Darrell Issa, chairman of his congressional committee. I-S-S-A. I want you to send him an e-mail asking him to renounce Elijah Cummings for being so ignorant. Or just renounce Elijah Cummings for manufacturing a phony issue and not understanding what\u2019s going on, because Cummings has sent a letter — with all the other Democrats on Issa\u2019s committee — asking him to renounce me. I thought about exempting Issa and saying, “Go ahead, Darrell. Go ahead and renounce me.”<\/p>\n

But that would be the wrong way because then they would never report the wink and the nod and the humor contained behind it. So Issa needs to renounce Cummings for attempting to gin up something so obviously phony. By the way, let\u2019s put something together. Here this babe goes before Congress and wants thousands of dollars to pay for her sex. Well, that\u2019s what it is. If she wants her contraception to be provided, that means she wants to have sex without consequences, with no worries, no responsibility. We\u2019ve learned that you can get a month\u2019s supply at Walmart (and the Democrats hate Walmart because there no union workers there). So one of the most economical places to get birth control is Walmart, and the left will not even use it.<\/p>\n

No, we gotta go to the government to get it! We got to go to the government to get it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
