My friends, I come to you tonight behind a blue dot because I demand anonymity for my own safety. Because I stand accused of being one of the most heinous Americans. Why? Because I believe in the power of the individual, I believe in limited gov\u2019t. I believe in you keeping more of your money. It makes me a conservative. I am asked by reporters all the time, &#8220;So what gives you the right to breathe?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The politically correct left, they say that they alone know who should and shouldn\u2019t speak. They don\u2019t know me. You know how long this show is gonna last? We\u2019re not going away until every American agrees with me. You must call and say, &#8220;I love this show.&#8221; My friends, my name is Rush Limbaugh. There are many who say my show needs to be balanced with equal time. They are wrong.
