The SIlent Radio: A Third Year WIthout Rush

American Thinker ^ | 17 Feb, 2024 | Peter Nichols

[MtnClimber]

Rush Limbaugh is gone, but life is possible, and victory is possible. America is worth fighting for, and we are worth fighting for as well.

A third year has passed since the death of Rush Limbaugh. The day of the sad news, millions of people were sensible of a loss. Something they depended on for reassurance, reinforcement, confidence, strength, amusement, and interest was now gone and never would come again.

Limbaugh was an optimist, and optimists are like bonfires. The shivering gathered about him for warmth -- those fearing an awful and incomprehensible transformation in their country, those to whom the triumph of Marxism looked to be inevitable. His listeners had this consolation -- that at the appointed hour the ebullient voice would issue from the radio, and for a time they would be in the company of a friend, who saw what they saw but had it all figured out and was himself unafraid.

Naturally, the leftist bullies hated him for ridiculing their piffle, but above all because he was dauntless. And he made others so, as did Donald Trump.

Intellectuals who fancy themselves conservatives, but of such refinement and probity as to join occasionally with the liberals also shunned him. They could scarcely play the role they coveted while acknowledging such a man as Rush Limbaugh to be a leader of the conservative movement, a man who spoke to and in the voice of the Republican base. It was the respect of educated liberals and not the hooting of the rabble that was to be garnered, thought those who would evolve into the “never-Trumpers.”

But doing justice to Limbaugh’s nominally conservative antagonists, their enmity also sprang from matters more interesting than snobbery. They thought themselves possessed of a certain moderation -- they sometimes called themselves “moderates,”

Yes, I wish he had said what he knew in one of his final broadcasts.

[Boardwalk]

Yes Jeff Kuhner has both humor and hope. He thinks Trump will win big.

[MachIV]

Thank you for the kind response. Blessings to You.

Is Soros really buying up “all of the AM markets”, or just Entercom, as I’ve heard?

[gitmo]

It feels like 10 years.

[nutmeg]

Sure does… 😢

Take I-70 east to the Bircher Blvd. and W. Florissant Ave. exit.

Go northwest on W. Florissant Ave., to the entrance of the cemetary - it will be on your right. If you get to Calvary Ave., you went too far along W. Florissant Ave.

Gravesite is at 38 deg. 41 min. 41.6 seconds NORTH and 90 deg. 13 min. 43.1 seconds WEST.

From the north, comes a lane named MEADOW.

From the west-southwest thence to east-northeast, there is a lane named RAVINE.

To the south of the intersection of RAVINE and MEADOW, is a short stub of a lane, where a lane named MAUSOLEUM approaches from the east, and a lane named LAWN approaches from the west.

Rush Limbaugh's grave site is north of where the

- short stub of a lane, and
- MAUSOLEUM, and
- LAWN

all meet - while also being south of RAVINE.

Nearby him, to the south, is the gravesite of Albert Lambert, who developed Lambert Field and helped to fund Charles Lindbergh.

Also, leave the cemetary, by heading southeast on W. Florissant Ave., returning to I-70.

The surrounding neighborhood is not safe. Visit later than 10:30 AM and be gone by 2:00 PM - that range will place your visiting time within a relatively safe period of the day.

Puff the Magic Negro was one of my favorites.

"Rush receiving the Medal of Freedom in the middle of Trump’s State of the Union speech was epic!"

"Puff the Magic Negro was one of my favorites."

From his boyhood years; I liked his "Know your Bible contest".

Wonder how many "winners of his contest", went back and did a little more study, realizing they didn't know as much as they wished they did.

Controlling interest in Audacity which is 235 stations. Used to be Entercom.

[nutmeg]

Thanks for that correction.

Yikes… the “Rush station” I’ve been listening to for decades - WTIC 1080 AM, a 50,000 watt station out of Hartford, CT - is one of the Audacy stations.

WTIC mostly went with local conservative talk shows after Rush passed away. So with Soros having controlling interest in Audacy now… can he fire all the conservative talk show hosts and replace them with crap liberal shows??

[KC Burke]

He could but ratings would fail. Most likely subvert them with money. Do a Nikki on them.

“I haven’t listened to talk radio since he died.”

Me, too. No one can ever take the place of Rush Limbaugh. I surely miss that man!
