WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT AND WHY WE MUST PROTECT IT
The Rush Limbaugh Show, September 7, 2007
RUSH: You know, what happened in Philadelphia in 1776 was a miracle. Divine inspiration had to have been there. The principles may be bigger than the men who wrote ’em down, but they did write them, and they were not racists, and they were not bigots, whatever else the PC crowd teaches today. . . .
Have you read the Declaration of Independence? “One nation under God . . . Creator.” The Pledge of Allegiance? Clearly the founders of this country believed in God and believed that we were all created and that we were all created equal. “Certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.” Life, liberty, pursuit; these words mean things.
You say that the principles are bigger than the people that wrote ’em down, but it took people to write them down. Where did they get the inspiration? Where did they get the intelligence? They were great people that put this country together, a country that stood the test of time like no other country in the history of civilization. Today’s liberals are none of the Founding Fathers. Today’s liberals are not capitalists as constituted today. They are socialists. . . .
RUSH VISITS THE WHITE HOUSE, STAYS IN THE LINCOLN BEDROOM
The Rush Limbaugh Show, August 26, 2010
RUSH: One of the funny stories that I remember is that after my night—it was in 1992 in the summertime that I’d spent the night in the White House. George H. W. Bush was president. . . . I got to know the usher; they were all big fans. And it was like a hotel room—you could have a wake-up call. This was on the same floor that the president and his wife live. It’s a big floor, obviously, but you could order coffee from, quote unquote, room service. A uniformed steward would bring it to you, and I got to know all these people. And when Clinton won the election, I remember Harry Thomason and his wife, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, talking about how they couldn’t wait to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom after Clinton was inaugurated.
So, through channels I reached people that I had met in the White House: “Could I leave a note that you would leave for Harry and Linda on the pillow in the Lincoln Bedroom the night that they’re in there?” And it happened to be inauguration weekend, I think, that they spent. It took a while, but in a couple weeks they came back and they said sure. So I wrote a note, and the note said, “Dear Harry and Linda: Never forget this. I was here first, and I will be back. Signed, Your buddy, Rush.”
Pre-ordered.
It will be my wife birthday gift.
She will be 53 on December 13
She will die, when she opens up the package.
Don't give Bill Clintoon any ideas.
There are no atheists in hell.
I pre-ordered mine. Can’t wait for it to get here. I miss Rush....things aren’t the same without him.......RIP Dear Man
Rush Limbaugh’s death has been a major body blow to those trying to defend normality against the woke communists. The left genuinely feared the man and he consistently improved his program delivery, his commentaries frequently rose to the level of real intellectual exercises analyzing some topic or trend. There is simply no commentator that really tries to follow in the path he created. To much trivial chatter and joking around dominate and Beck simply cannot be trusted, the man is unreliable and if some flunky of the President of the Mormon Church called him and told him the LDS were now supporting the transsexual and queer crusade he would do a 180 degree turn and start yammering about these perverts being basically ‘good people’. Tucker Carlson is the closest commentator to Limbaugh’s merciless extended attack style. Levin is another who simply cannot be trusted and spends too much time on irrelevant trivia. These are very bad times not to have a real national voice and sadly we don’t.
mine 9 to noon
Rush Limbaugh was one of the few actual constants in my life.
I was listening from literally his first minute in national syndication.
One day a co-worker came in my office and heard me listening to Rush. He told me that his best friend was Rush’s producer.
“Yea?, prove it. Get me an autographed photo with my name on it.”
That photo hangs in my office today.
There will never be a talk show host as good and entertaining as Rush. Just like there will never be another Churchill or Trump.
Not yet, resurrection hasn't happened, if it did I missed it.
Not one that worked anyway. I listened all the years and I was a subscriber the day he announced it until the day he died. No one on radio even matters to me anymore.
Apparently Jessie Watters is now top dog at Faux news. I haven't watched a cable or network news show since a week before they stole the election. Don't imagine I ever will until Trump returns to his rightful place.

The sky grows very dark over our country.
Thanks so much for this post. ❤️
You are very fortunate:)
He was a constant, he made me use my mind. 12:06 EST meant so much to me, I didn't even have to look at a clock or my watch and I would turn on the radio to hear his opening song. Those three hours were a way for me to feel comfortable in this world knowing there are others with morals and good character. I wish you the best.
I stopped listening to radio shortly after his death.
Podcasts now rule
VDH STEYN and a number of others
I always wonder how conflicted Chrissie Hynde must be knowing that probably by far her most listened to song is because of Rush.
Still miss hearing his bumper music and opening monologue every day at 11am CST.
I do not remember exactly where I heard it, it went something like this:
Chrissie Hynde wasn't happy that Rush was using that song as bumper music into his show, however Hynde's father was a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh. So Hynde & the Pretenders let Rush continue using it.
No recollection as to whether or not royalties were involved (probably were, who knows?)
Anyway, that's the crux of the story and I recall hearing it after Rush passed. Take it for whatever it's worth.
Same. I rarely agreed with Hitchens but I was a fan. Brilliant man and his arguments were based on facts and reason, rather than the screeching emotionalism that is the basis of modern leftist "thought."
The story I heard was that Chrissie would allow it if Rush made a donation to PETA.
