What Would Rush Say?
self | By J. Johnson

Posted on 02/17/2021 9:19:08 PM PST by jimjohn

Like everyone, I will remember where I was and what I was doing when my lovely wife peered over the computer monitor and told me “Rush has passed”. There was no need for a last name. I immediately paused thinking, “I feared this day was coming. Now, what do we do?”

My first thought was a prayer for the surviving family, and then for the rest of us to have the power to solider on. Then I see the comments of some who immediately choose to peer over at the enemy to see what they may be saying.

The only thing that discussed my more than what the enemy is saying about Limbaugh’s passing is the fact that there are those who claim to be on our side even CARING about what they are saying; To the point where it even makes a heading under ‘Front Page News”!

What’s wrong with some of you people? Is your first thought to run over to the enemy and get their quotes? Is that what we have devolved into?

H. Rush Limbaugh always stated that his success was not dependent on other people, therefore they couldn’t destroy him. But the lesson he leaves is that there are too many people who will allow the narrative to be dictated by the enemy, i.e., some of you with let the Rules of Engagement to be defined by the enemy – when you don’t have to.

While all this is going on:

* We have our people in Texas under siege by a winter storm while the enemy is blaming THEM for it.

* We have 220+ persons being persecuted by an out-of-control federal government for exercising their First Amendment rights on January 6. With the response I’ve seen from most people on our side, we are sending a clear message to anyone who dares to stick their head out of a foxhole in the future. Has ANYONE reached out trying to support these folks – most of whom are being railroaded??

* We have a person installed into the office of president who hasn’t done ONE THING for the benefit of Americans, and is so out of touch he thinks blacks and latinos are too stupid to get on the internet, while saying the person who actually won the election is racist?

* This government is virtually bankrupt, while we’re all expected to pay up before April 15 to a regime that calls us domestic terrorists for simply disagreeing with the results of an election (the same way they have for the past 4 years), and expecting us to keep paying for it?

Ladies and Gentlemen: we have a lot of work to do, and part of it should be not wasting time looking at other sites and what the enemy is saying. What – is this news? We you expecting compassion? Respect? No, that’s what you would expect from US. But they are not US – that’s the point. So why waste time and energy reading or even reposting? It’s more than not newsworthy – it’s insulting.

I personally have enough to be upset about without giving a DAMN about what a bunch of basement dwellers think. We mourn our loss, we bury our dead, and we move on.

WE DON’T SURRENDER.

I don’t need any further motivation by their hatred. We move forward in making sure we have enough boots on the ground to ensure honest elections from this point forward, support our fellow Americans under siege right now, and make preparations to defend against a hostile, un-American regime in power today. From this point, we do not give them one inch of free real-estate in our heads.

Sorry to go off on a soap-box. But I believe Rush would say “don’t let these people define you”. That’s what we do when we highlight their shallowness. If you want to remember Rush, please do so by dropping the NEGATIVE, defeatism and start looking forward. November 3 was just another battle in this war that will last at least a generation. We are fighting for our children, grandchildren and posterity that hasn’t be born yet. We are fighting for the Constitution, and with that our own survival.

No more hanging our heads down and wallowing in self-pity. Dammit, we are AMERICANS. We are all God’s people. And as His People, we will rise up. We will stand on our own two feet, and crawl before no one!

That is all.

Just my $0.02

Rush completed his job. He taught us while wearing Ronald Reagan's mantle.

We learned to recognize Donald Trump as the successor to Reagan.

How we proceed from this point will be us walking without his hand holding us up, but ever remembering his words.

There is a Power greater than ourselves that restores me to sanity and I believe that people are able to do good things with the help of that Power.

And those things aren’t necessarily political. My right actions outside of the political arena can make one hell of a difference every moment of every day.

When your implacable foe tells you what they think of your fallen
hero, and what would please them to see come to you...

You might need to pay attention.

The DO mean it, you know...

Rush’s most important contribution to this country was by being an unwavering voice of reason, no matter the current circumstances. I can’t count how many times, when the latest leftist assault seemed overwhelming, that I would turn on Rush’s show and feel an immediate sense of confidence and stability. He was a much needed anchor in an often turbulent political and cultural sea.

Screw them. I popped a bottle when RBG died. I can’t wait for the next one of “theirs” to croak (thinking about u, Jimmah Cah-ter). Don’t care and I’m not going to be the “respectable conservative” in their little psychotic media games - or even play in their corrupt, fradulent sandbox.

No apologies needed for typos, etc...your points are well taken. I think we all knew Rush’s days were numbered in the recent days when his guest hosts were totally silent about Rush’s condition. I tuned is as always and the moment I heard his wifes voice I knew. As I’m sure MILLIONS of his listeners did as well.

(Fat fingers will finish the post now)
We must continue, Rush wouldn’t accept anything less. He would expect Us to keep on digging and make sure that We get the job done. That job is 1) TAKE BACK AMERICA.
2) ARRESTS OF THE FRAUDULENT GANG THAT STOLE THE ELECTION IN 2020.
3) BEGIN CLEANING UP THE ABSOLUTE DISASTER THE FRAUDULENT GANG HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 70+ YEARS AND DO NOT STOP. WE HAVE A LOT TO DO AND OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE DOING REPAIRS FOR A LONG TIME.

Prayers for Rush’s Family and Friends.

Now it’s time to get started.

Mega kudos!

You have put into words what I have been thinking all day. Rush was a forever optimist. If he were able he would be telling us to quickly get past our grief and march on along the highway of keeping our Republic.

He imparted many pearls of wisdom through the years. Giving up and dwelling on the negative was never one of them.

There was a time folks were urging him to run for office. I am so glad he resisted the urge. He has provided more to us in the role he took than he ever could have as a politician.

Pretty sure the last thing Rush Limbaugh would have wanted, is for you to be offended at liberals celebrating his death. They hated him because they feared him. Let them show who they really are.

I remember a listener said, “Rush is the best friend I never met”. How true.

He would say “Buy the Dec 1993 Playboy Magazine, no Snerdley only for the articles.”

I will miss El Rushbo terribly though. Prayers for Kathryn and Rush's entire family.

George Noory, of Coast to Coast AM fame, made a very nice tribute to Rush a few minutes ago. He was audibly emotional about it. As are we.

I never met him face-to-face. But, I considered him a friend for over thirty years.
