History of the World. . . . .

Rush Limbaugh 7/27/09: "one of the best points that anybody could make in describing the uniqueness and greatness of this country, do you realize that the history of the world is tyranny? The history of the world is dictatorship. The history of the world is dungeons and torture chambers. That's why this country is so unique. It's just part of human nature for people who desire to have power over other people. There are people in this country who are Americans who have the same view of totalitarianism that all the worst regimes of the world have had. They just are a minority, or have been a minority. They have to be stealth to get anywhere because who's going to vote for torture, who's going to vote for tyranny, who's going to vote for dictatorship? But we did. We did. And you see it slowly encroaching."

"If they could move faster on this they would, but it's why this country is so special and so unique in all of human history because it was founded on the exact opposite pretense and purpose, individual liberty and freedom, a Constitution that tells the government what it cannot do to us and to the citizens. And, of course, Obama and his buds think of the Constitution as consisting of negative rights, meaning it doesn't say what the government can do for us or to us."
