FARDING!
I’ve been dealing with liver cancer for five years. But I decided not to have any treatment cause I’m sick of going to the hospital. The time I have left is my own. Last summer my MRI showed that my tumor has shrunk 50%. I don’t know why but I’m running with it. A lot of people I know and relatives went through hell treatment and still passed away. So I’m leaving it in God’s hands. Hey,we’re only here for a short while anyway. Rush was a fighter and I’m going to miss him terribly.
My favorites were the Paul Shanklin parodies, especially during the Clinton/Gore days.
My favorite segment was probably in 2012 when Donald Trump called in during the annual fundraiser. Rush told him he had to pledge a donation, and Trump said he would match what Rush gave. After a break, Trump said that he had just made a “very generous” pledge to match what Rush did. Then Trump spent the next several minutes trashing Mitt Romney. Great stuff.
I found Rush in 1990’ish....whenever the “year of the woman” was going on in California Senate races...right after Tailhook.
I was in the USN and the FM side of my car stereo quit working. That left me with a.m. side and found him driving driving home from Miramar Golf Course. I distinctly remember the FM side dying at a traffic light in Mira Mesa.
I switched to AM to see if only FM was down and sure as heck there was Rush talking.....I had heard the light!
Santorum said Satan had set his sights on America. You know, I’ve talked about Satan on this program. Well, I didn’t do it on this program. I discovered Satanic messages in Slim Whitman music back in Sacramento. I have my own experiences with the devil. I almost resigned when I found out about this. I was doing a Peace Update, and at the time the Global Peace March was going on for nuclear disarmament. Slim Whitman had a song called Una Paloma Blanca in which he yodeled a lot, which Slim Whitman does in his songs. Una Paloma Blanca, One White Dove, symbol of peace. Remember at the Olympics a couple of them got fried by the Olympic flame? It was Una Paloma Bako.So I pretended to have discovered a Satanic message in Una Paloma Blanca when you play that backwards.

Funniest thing he ever did.
i probably shouldn’t even bring this up but I remember Rush laughing uncontrollably on radio once for an extended period when when a lady who was a listener called his show once and somehow her job entered the conversation and lets just say her job involved in her by her own explanation..... making sure bulls.........”produce”.......for insemination purposes.
I was the first caller on April 9, 1993. We discussed Clinton’s intentions to involve the US in the Bosnia conflict. I felt like I was talking to an old friend.

“Your Favorite Rush Memories”
I haven’t been able to listen to Rush for about a year. My car radio does not work on AM stations. Home radio won’t reach a station clearly. Didn’t do internet as husband works from home and for most of the year limited internet. So FR was a limited source.
With that said, I have loved Rush for decades- TV and radio! A great loss and I do believe his talent was on loan from God as he was 99.8% truth...correct?!!!
I don’t cry hardly at all and yesterday just broke out in tears several times.
I started listening when he first went syndicated because WSJS in Winston-Salem carried him. That was followed by Rush Rooms in restaurants. I quit listening when I left Winston in 1998. I was always working when he was on.
He made it big by being the firstest with the mostest. No else was doing when he was doing so he was the only source of conservative news.
Remember “fark”?
I loved his sense of humor. He would be talking and suddenly say something so funny...catch u off guard.
I will never forget the first time he rumpled paper over the air! WOW. How effective that was. And it was never ever done on air before Rush.
I miss him already.
I was a Democrat because, well...., my mom and dad were.
Then I found Rush.
I thought “this makes far more sense than the really stupid things I am hearing from democrats”
Things tht I never considered stupid, were now revealed as really really dumb. I wanted to help people- so democrats do that, right? Boy was I wrong.
Democrat politics usually end up hurting the people they are trying to ‘help’.
Summed up in the words of Reagan “Govt. is not the solution to all problems- often it is the source”
I spent the 90s working in Harlem, Washington Heights and the South Bronx. Every week day from 12-3 PM Rush would be blaring from the radio hanging from the guard rail around the manhole I’d be woking. If I wasn’t in a ‘hole, I’d be in a basement or backyard and Rush would be with me. He was my “partner” at work longer than anyone assigned to me by management.
The operatic song ending, “God bless you, Rush Limbaugh.”
