I woke up this morning thinking about the voice behind the golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbaugh. The voice that went out everyday in America. He was like a friend that you could sit down with for a cup of coffee.His humor and intelligent views were affirming and filled you with hope. The voice is gone. What a loss. We could tune into him to start every morning. I don’t think that I can really describe fully what Rush meant to us. There is a dark, empty gap where he used to be. Our Nation is poorer without his guidance and calmness. We really needed him at this time.
As an original listener from day one on KFBK in Sacramento in 1984 it was a great 37 yr. long ride that ended far too soon.
Its hard to believe that its been more than 30 years since I first heard Rush (1990)
I’ll always remember him starting one show saying “I’m thinking about voting for Bill Clinton”
LOL
My 14 yo daughter and I went to Dan’s Bake Sale, 1993 ...

Every day at noon, I still think to myself: it’s time for Rush..
Also, if I happen to see 3:00, I think: Ohh.. he’s over..
My wife was a hard democrat when I met her; she campaigned for both Kerry and 0bama.. but she listened to Rush with me and realized that what she’d been told about him was completely wrong. She’s on our side now.
That day when Kathryn opened the show to announce his passing, my wife broke into tears - as though we’d lost a family member (which we all did, didn’t we?).
I think all of this happening now would have started some time ago. Rush held it together for us using sanity, humor, and genuine insight. Nobody today seems to have that ability ... the “Rush Replacements” are all just “whiners” telling us how bad it is ... we ALREADY KNOW ... Rush guided us in handling the badness.
Rush held RINOs feet to the fire.
He would shame them on air.
If he was still with us, he would have talked about the plight of the J6 prisoners and Kari Lake's stolen election daily. He would remind everyone how nothing has been done about cheat-by-mail-in ballots and signature verification.
And this latest witch hunt with Trump -- Rush would have been playing sound bites of when prominent Democrats got away with far worse.
I miss Rush sooooo much.
Excellent comments bro.. Hard to believe that Austin has become an equivalent of San Francisco.
