I was living in Colorado at the time. It was a stunning turnout. I knew conservatism had a major following that day.

I was at a gun show in Fort Collins that day. No one came. Everyone was going to Rush.

You hit the nail on the head. Mr. Limbaugh said, out loud, the things so many of were thinking. Mark Levin said, “Rush made being patriotic cool” or words to that effect. He did that and so much more.

Damn am I going to miss the man. At age 74 he was so much a part of so much of my life.

It is like missing a part of me.

I've lived in Ft Collins since the 70's. My wife & I and our 2 and 4 year old there for Rushstock in May of '93, as were my parents from Boulder and my sister from Longmont. Great day! It was amazingly awesome to see so many 10s of 1000's of people who felt just like we did.

"Wow! You mean we're not the ONLY conservatives in the country? The MSM had me convinced we were among the tiny few remnants of a dead movement".

Also very impressive to me was the dedication of the overwhelming majority of attendees, who had to drive in or fly in from other parts of Colorado and out of state. There were rented buses from all the neighboring states and Texas and further afield, caravans of RV's from everywhere. And here all I had to do to get to Dan's Bake Sale was get on my bicycle.

"I knew conservatism had a major following that day."

Rush gave Conservatives confidence. He showed us we didn't need to be afraid to admit we were Conservatives.
