It is with profound sadness and eternal gratitude that I note the passing of Rush Limbaugh today. A truly great American in all senses of that designation, a brilliant radio artist and the de facto leader of true conservatism in the United States for 30 years, he was truly one of a kind.
Rush’s wife, Kathryn, opened his radio program today with a heartfelt statement to his 25 million+ listeners. I won’t deny shedding a tear or two as I listened to it and tried to take in the impact his loss will have. Talk radio as it has existed for the last generation existed because of Rush. His influence in the country is unrivaled in the history of the media; not just of radio, but of all media in this country’s history. No other single figure even comes close.

With his passing, there is no obvious replacement, no conservative pundit capable of taking up the torch and keeping the fires of conservatism burning. With no true national voice to guide the way, the loss of this great American will be every bit as impactful as the loss of Donald Trump and his presidency.
God Bless Rush Limbaugh for all he has done for us, God Bless his family and God Bless America.
That, sadly, is all.
RIP, he will be missed. He was the GOLD STANDARD of conservative talk radio.
Oh, no. RIP Rush.
RIP Rush.
Rush built the conservative movement.
Now he’s at peace.
I have no words. God bless you Rush for all you did.
OMG Just can’t get any worse these past months!! My heart is broken!! RIP Rush we love you!!!
R.I.P. Rush Hudson Limbaugh III. Thank you, sir. love.
(prayer)
I didn’t change my views because I listened to Rush. I listened to Rush because he expressed my views. He codified what I was thinking and gave voice to me, and many others, who had no voice.
Thank you, Rush Limbaugh.
The world is now a darker place.
RIP Rush.
I pulled my EIB tee out last night and thought its been a few weeks since Rush has been on the air. Something told me last night the time was near but I’m not ready. A 30+ year relationship with El Rushbo, I don’t know what I am going to do.
Rest In Peace, Rush.
Rush Limbaugh showed us how it was done.
Now that he is gone we must carry on using what we learned.
I think the saddest part of it is that his death came about at a time in history where everything he had warned us of for 4 decades is coming to pass.
Godspeed Rush Hudson Limbaugh!
RIP Rush. I owe him so much. Truth, love of Country, exposing the Left for who they really are. The list goes on. A brave man.
I owe my political awareness and involvement to Rush. RIP
What a man!!!! He will be sorely missed. RIP Rush!!!! So sad.
On loan from God.
In sports they would call Rush a generational talent. He cannot be replaced. There is nobody with the combination of passion, insight and voice that is even close. He fought hard and will be greatly missed. RIP
