Steven - Not so much striking out and hating is heard on that show (if any) - specific political opposition to liberalism is. But you wouldn't know that unless you listened. Far worse than completely miscasting RL's statements is your attempting to create equivalence between regular Limbaugh

Have I got this right? - The 2012 alignment with the plane of the galaxy is NOT and alignment of our solar system crossing the plane as it swings above and below. That crossing happened thousands of years ago and we're now 'above' it heading further away from the plane. The alignment is actually
