A World Without Limbaugh

I hate to say this out loud. Upon hearing Rush Limbaugh was in the hospital and his condition serious, I felt a nervous twinge in my stomach. Dare I say it, I thought, “Oh my gosh, what if Rush was gone”. I could not help but think of the shocking passing of Michael Jackson. The next morning, I timidly turned on my TV. “Praise God!”, Rush is resting comfortably.

I had the same fearful feeling in my stomach once before years ago. My wife passed out after dinner as we were leaving a restaurant. She awoke and was fine. During the time she was unconscious, the thought of life without her overwhelmed me with fear. The incident gave me a whole new appreciation of her and our relationship.

This incident with Rush makes me feel the same way. I am sure when Rush started his career, he simply wanted to earn a living doing what he loves to do. Rush had no idea he would grow to mean so much to millions and his country. Rush Limbaugh has become bigger than Rush Limbaugh.

Rush, please take care of yourself. We (America) love and need you! God bless.

Rush is our force-multiplier.

Thanks Lloyd.

I wish Rush would train a group of conservative talk show hosts his secrets. His replacements bore me.

bump!!

We need Our Golden Voice to lead us into battle these next few years.

Can you hear that? That’s the sound of every bedwetting liberal excitedly wetting his/her pants at the thought of no more Rush. Godspeed, Rush!

I think Mark Styne is a great substitute host for Rush.

[Doomonyou]

Well said. From millions of us.

As thankful as I am for Rush Limbaugh and that he is still alive, he will pass one day as we all will. However, what he represents, TRUTH, lives, and it lives forever. Truth can be hidden, it can be obstructed, it can be frustrated, but it can never, ever be extinguished. I can easily be discouraged at times, but I know that the truth of conservative principles will live on.

Rush was reported in stable condition and comfortably resting last night before I went to sleep, but I still woke up several times during the night and went online with my iPhone to check for status updates.

Rush probably slept much better than I did.

A lot of us realized just how important Rush is to the battle this week. Lloyd, you aren't someone we'd want to lose either!

Keep up the good fight, and Happy New Year!

It is sad reflection on the state of the GOP and the Conservative movement that our most influential leaders are media personalities. Is there a single party leader/office holder who has as much conservative influence as Limbaugh, Beck, even Hannity or Levin? The only thing close to national leadership not coming from the media is Palin and she simply doesn’t have the reach that these media guys do. No one comes close to Rush. Sad. God Bless him.

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

I love your post. Thank you Lloyd.

I hesitate to say this because it's too close to the event for most people but it needs to be said. We are conservatives or Conservatives, if you prefer. Rush is not the leader of our movement, he is the one of the voices on our side.
To lose confidence or heart would do nothing but prove the accusations of our enemy, that we are nothing more than mind-numbed robots. We know we are not.
We look at Rush from this point in his history, while he is at the top. Think back to 1988 or before. He didn't start with 20 million listeners or 613 stations. Rush has stated his thanks for the thoughts and prayers but don't you think he would want us to go forward with the fight?
People become involved in the search for the next Reagan or Rush or Beatles rather than the next Smith or Jones or Davidson. Conservatives don't look for instant gratification, we know that's not how it works. It's perseverance, it's sacrifice, it's dedication.
We will go forward.

“His replacements bore me.”

You don’t like Mark Steyn? I think he’s a hoot - real humor with common sense. The other guys, I tend to agree with you.
