Getting Rush Limbaugh
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/03/10 | Chris Davis

Do you get Rush Limbaugh? If not, why? Over 20 million listeners tune into to hear Rush Limbaugh espouse conservative views on topics from abortion to the war on terrorism. Limbaugh doesn’t have a giant ego, nor does he have a Svengali hold over more than 20 million people; rather, he is an educator of conservatism.

Limbaugh’s impact of conservatism can be felt as far back as 1988, but it can be specifically felt when he was made an honorary member of the freshman class of the House of Representatives in 1994 at Camden Yards. In giving Rush Limbaugh an honorary title, members of that freshman class indicated that Limbaugh represented the voice of conservatism and the American people as much as they did.

For over 20 years, Rush Limbaugh has been educating Americans on conservatism. Now, he is given a chance to go on offense once again. Instead of defending conservatism, Limbaugh is given an opportunity again to use a freshman class of the House of Representatives as examples of how conservatism will only help America.

Rush Limbaugh will have many “teachable moments” in 2011. The lessons of conservatism will resurface as the new House of Representatives begins to steer America back towards a Constitutional Republic. Some of these “teachable moments” will be:

You didn’t even mention that the title has a major misspelling :-)

It's a blog.

It would be noteworthy if there were not a misspelling.

Rush has a hot new iPhone app... now you can listen to his program on your favorite Apple device - and he’s a big Apple fan!

Long time ago I never liked el Rushbo.
Thought he was arrogant, haughty and ‘holier-than-thou’.

Thought he hated minorities, women, poor people
and immigrants.

Then my usual car died and I had to take on a
K car that only had AM radio for my listening pleasure.
What a trial!

Turned on WABC NY for the hell of it.
Spent the first two weeks yelling at Rush for almost
anything he said.

Then, on the fifteenth day, the clouds parted,
the birds sang, the light dawned, and I swear,
I think the oceans began to heal.

I ‘got’ it. Maybe a lot of people who
don’t get it never listen, or not enough.

I thank God whenever I recall that old
Hooptie K car, and thank him for breaking my Cressida.

Glad you got it. It took me going into business to buy that lesson.
