I've been listening to Rush for 13 years and IMO, he has never claimed to be a paragon of virtue. He's first and foremost, a cutting edge entertainer who espouses the positive attributes of political conservatism, while pointing out the evils of political liberalism. Rush has done a lot to advance the conservative agenda and has educated millions of people about American politics. Through his efforts, many of Rush`s listeners have joined the conservative cause. And for all his efforts, Rush rightfully carries the mantle of Ronald Reagan.
Rush has his detractors on the left and the right and they're doing a good job of slamming Rush. Paybacks are hell.
As I told Rush in an email I sent him:
"After you kick the demons of addiction, I know you will return to the golden microphone of EBI, better then ever. Once again, broadcast excellence will reign for 3 hours every weekday. Take care Rush, best of luck and may God bless you."
Well said, amigo.
