My brother sent me the below text at 4:00. Shortly afterward, he found out that Rush had died. There's nothing remarkable about the coincidence. But it was a clear-eyed sentiment uncorrupted by his own sadness or nostalgia. The words are not impressive, but I take comfort in them. I thought maybe a few of you would as well. ................................................... After Reagan, conservatives feared they no longer had any powerful voices aside from Buckley, who was great but had a limited audience. Then came Rush and Newt Gingrich. Then Gingrich exited, but it didn't matter because Rush kept growing in stature and he had always had the talent. He easily led the conservative movement. Then we had a bunch of good voices accompanying Rush, but still Rush was the only conservative with enough stature, self confidence, talent, and testosterone to lead conservatism. A bunch of guys have the confidence and testosterone--but not the stature or talent. I've long wondered what would happen after Rush. And sadly we know we won't have him much longer. But now we have Trump. I can't speak for God, but it does seem like he always sends someone who can keep the flame of freedom burning.
No. But im not in that part of the country. I wonder if there will be anything on-line. If not, and i know when it it!, i will be in a prayer mode. Still
Hard to think of Rush gone!!
I will remember him the way he would want: The man was a lover of, and a fighter for America.
Thank you. Excellent post.
