Make no mistake. Rush Limbaugh is “The Passion.” He is the passion of conservatism, the very pulse, bounding through the veins of the nation. He produces life with every heartbeat of his show as he scoffs at liberals and gives us his interpretation of conservative truth. His brand of ideology shakes the very foundations of liberalism.
He follows in the footsteps of giants, such as George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Ronald Reagan, promoting the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He broadcasts affectionately trying to steer growing government towards the ideals of the Constitution.
He believes that Americans with limited government are better Americans. He believes that Americans shouldn’t murder babies in the womb. He believes that tax cuts are good for the economy. And finally, he believes safe Americans living free are the best Americans of all.
Boldly he pronounces the lies of liberalism and asserting daily doses of truth. With resounding conviction, he echoes the sentiments of the Founding Fathers, evoking the wrath of those who oppose him. “The Passion.” His passion forces him to carry the torch of liberty and justice, inflicting backlash, lies, and corruption at his doorstep. The compassionate liberals, those that believe in fair play and equal justice, will do almost anything to berate him.
Mildly he sits and passes on his message, his passion, his views, his legacy. A legacy of truth, justice, and the conservative American way. He hands his gift down day after day, show after show. He will live as one of the greatest men in conservative history correct 98.4% of the time. There are few men in history that has received the same award as President Ronald Reagan. There are fewer men that could go on day after day under the scrutiny he faces. And there are only a handful of men that could keep themselves reserved while suffering the onslaught of the visceral hatred of “compassionate liberals.”
Quite frankly, I don’t know how he does it. How does he stand so strong against so much? How does he execute his duties so faithfully with the onslaught of these lies? How does he continue to go on the air? Especially when the people that presume to blackmail him walk free! “The Passion.” That’s how.
As I listened to his show today, January 27, 2004, I could hear “The Passion.” Liberal after liberal tried to infiltrate the show and discredit the man behind the “Golden EIB Microphone.” He was fiery. He was excellent. He’d had enough. They failed to extinguish him.
Last night, his attorney, Roy Black, was filled with “The Passion.” Filled so full that it seemed as if Rush himself were sitting there screaming the answers, “I DID NOT DO THIS!”
I was enthralled. I was overjoyed. I felt giddy, like a kid in a candy store. I knew for the first time in months as if justice had taken a direct blow to the lies and corruption creeping into Rush Limbaugh’s life. Never had I wavered. Never had I been so steadfast in my disbelief of the news media. I never believed the allegations. Not once. Not until Rush himself admitted it.
I was disappointed when I heard Rush was addicted to prescription painkillers. Why, you ask? Because I had placed him on so high a pedestal, considering him the greatest man in the world. You know what? I still do. Despite all the claims, I still consider him the greatest conservative I’ll ever know.
I know you’re saying I’m crazy. I know you’re telling me to check myself into therapy, but it’s true. I can’t help it. I can’t help but applaud a man with this many medical conditions going on day after day after day after day, executing liberal lies with impunity. I have too much respect and admiration for the man that put his own show ahead of pain, pushing himself into addiction and blackmail. Too much admiration for the man that removed the disease, the man that removed liberalism.
Liberalism was planted deep within me, as if it were a parasite feeding on me. Rush cut it out like a surgeon excising a cancerous tumor, giving me the opportunity to experience life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He gave me the chance of a lifetime. The “lone beacon of opposition” handed me a certainty, a guarantee no person had ever given me before. No, he didn’t come to Texas and brainwash me. He presented his case like he does every single day-clearly, concisely and effectively, planting the seed of common sense in my brain. By sowing that seed, he also gave me hope, happiness, and “The Passion.”
“The Passion” to live life, to succeed again and again, and to not feel guilty about creating wealth. He handed me an education in advanced conservative studies and said, “Go forth and produce young man. Give life everything you’ve got.” And I do. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I owe at a minimum my undying support and loyalty.
Everyday Rush withstands the assaults, he strengthens my resolve to praise him more and more. The more the liberals bash Rush the more I salute him. The more they harangue him the more I respect him. They cannot or will they ever break my obstinate resolve. Instead, they have only succeeded in convincing me how corrupt, phony, and merciless they really are.
With Rush on the radio, I continue to conquer day after day, living in conservative principles, consumed with the fiery notion of my new life. I rebuke liberalism with special thanks to my educator. I love the life I have earned, as I pursue success after success, and eagerly wait another broadcast day of “The Passion.”
Millions of people have chronic back pain, and MOST don't give up on life and go lie in a bed and complain.
They continue to work and try to enjoy life the best they can.
The idea that you would suggest Rush faked back pain and yet surgeries to correct it is a little far fetched.
My understanding is that LLF requested copies of what was already given to the Sun-Sentinel. The damage was already done--and LLF wanted to know what was handed around, and to get the prosecutor on record. It seems to me the right thing to do. Rush's private matters were already NOT private, before Levin ever involved himself as an interested 3rd party.
The prosecutor IS the scapegoat in this, because he should not have handed out the info to begin with--and then lied about who told him it was okay to do it. I came to these threads late, so it's very possible I missed something. If I did, please feel free to point out what I've gotten wrong. Otherwise, I'll stick by my opinions. Don't take our disagreement personally, please. I still like you as an anonymous ID!
Rush is an EXCELLENT icon for the right. The best of the best.
On the other hand what you've written above reinforces the ugly stereotypes Dems have of conservatives as being self-righteous, mean-spirited, unforgiving and intolerant.
And of course it is usually the Dem hypocrites who demand perfection from everybody on the right and claim that any fault disqualifies a person from EVER speaking out on issues of morality and right or wrong.
If this was the case then NOBODY could ever speak out on such things, which the left would love.
And it seems you would as well.
Seriously I don't believe your criticisms of Rush above have a thing to do with concern for who represents the right.
By the way, it must be painful for you to know that Rush's ratings have actually gone UP since the drug addiction controversy.
Interesting how you've already convicted Rush of all these wild and unproven accusations.
It's becoming more and more clear that your so-called concerns about who represents conservatives is not the issue at all, but rather a guise to promote your intentions to bash conservatives by bashing Rush.
It's no wonder the conservative movement is in deep doo-doo.
The conservative movement is in better shape today than at anytime in the past 30 years. And thanks in no small part to the influence of Rush.
I believe that's your real problem with Rush. Not his bout with drug addiction.
