Rush Limbaugh

There is no country on earth that can touch us in charitable efforts, in disaster relief efforts, in doing everything to help.

That's great.

But the power above which follows the example from below is on the way to committing suicide.

The disease concept of homosexuality as with the disease concept of all so-called mental illnesses, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, or suicide conceals the fact that homosexuals are a group of medically stigmatized and socially persecuted individuals. ...
