This article is pretentious and trite. Stuff it. It’s his business if he’s happy. Stop gossiping about him.

Possibly, but if you divorce the piece from the author’s motivations and distill it down to its arguments, it makes sense. No?

This is America. The author is entitled to his opinions.

And I to mine.

And it’s my unreserved opinion that this author can stuff his opinions and sit on them all the way back to Rome.

Only if we leave Rush out of it. Otherwise, it’s kind of creepy.

If you read about the people in the bible,you will start to realize something... that the people God uses are ordinary people with weaknesses and faults and problems just like the rest of us. The linage of Jesus includes prostitutes, thieves, adulterers, and murderers.

I too, get a sense of Rush’s frustration with the country, especially with the GOP. Too many in the GOP believe “if we can just get past the abortion issue” (read that, just give up and join the Rats), or that if they just “move to the center” (again, read that, just give up and be more like the Rats), then they can win power again.

They completely ignore the firm conservative message that won them control of both houses in 1994 and that Reagan won landslide victories in both his terms despite being firm on abortion and fiscal responsibility.

If I were on my death bed right now, I'd know my conscience was clean.

Imagine a rabid liberal on a death bed. I wonder if they'd think about heaven and hell, and would they be comfortable with all they've done in their lives. Would they think about all those souls they've destroyed? What about their abortion activism? What about sodomite support? Would they be frightened because maybe, just maybe, they might have been on the wrong side? What if they were......wrong, and now they're about to face eternity?

I wouldn't want to be a rabid liberal on a death bed. The thought gives me chills.

He is consistently upbeat and optimistic. And he has already proven himself to be tough and determined in the face of real adversity that would have beaten most people.

So I would lean toward “yes”, he’s a happy man. Optimism and courage are two of the main ingredients.

They are afraid of not getting on the bandwagon and/or they're a bunch of 'I give up wussies' that don't do what they were elected to do, so Michael Steele, stop asking me for money.

My daughter is away at college. She was talking to my son today and said she missed listening to RUSH. Isn't that sweet?
Did I raise this kid right, or what?

Rush makes me happy 3 hours a day.

There are positives to everything. I was despondent for a long time after losing my job 2 1/2 years ago but put it into perspective: I now get to listen to Rush every single day. Whereas before, I would take my vacations in July only to find out that he did to.......that pissed me off because I had put in for my vacation before he did.......

Why not?

Is he so much better than you or me?

I think not.

Yeah, he put it out that way.

Actually I've just agreed to consult a bit.

They just can’t stop bashing/obsession about Rush. If he is not happy he is one hell of an actor! Despite almost daily attempts to destroy him personally and professionally he is a VERY happy man on the radio.

He gets to do what he loves 3 hours a day..eats good steaks...smokes good cigars...drives nice cars...and goes home to his loving kitty. (Sounds like a pretty good life to me!) He has triumphed over addiction and losing his all important hearing..and can still have a positive attitude.

I would be willing to wager a VERY LARGE amount of money that Mr. Limbaugh is MUCH MUCH Happier than someone like Keith Olberman!
