Rush Limbaugh is “The Passion”
Original | 1/26/04 | Chris Davis

Posted on 01/27/2004 8:48:58 PM PST by writer33

Make no mistake. Rush Limbaugh is “The Passion.” He is the passion of conservatism, the very pulse, bounding through the veins of the nation. He produces life with every heartbeat of his show as he scoffs at liberals and gives us his interpretation of conservative truth. His brand of ideology shakes the very foundations of liberalism.

He follows in the footsteps of giants, such as George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Ronald Reagan, promoting the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He broadcasts affectionately trying to steer growing government towards the ideals of the Constitution.

He believes that Americans with limited government are better Americans. He believes that Americans shouldn’t murder babies in the womb. He believes that tax cuts are good for the economy. And finally, he believes safe Americans living free are the best Americans of all.

Boldly he pronounces the lies of liberalism and asserting daily doses of truth. With resounding conviction, he echoes the sentiments of the Founding Fathers, evoking the wrath of those who oppose him. “The Passion.” His passion forces him to carry the torch of liberty and justice, inflicting backlash, lies, and corruption at his doorstep. The compassionate liberals, those that believe in fair play and equal justice, will do almost anything to berate him.

Mildly he sits and passes on his message, his passion, his views, his legacy. A legacy of truth, justice, and the conservative American way. He hands his gift down day after day, show after show. He will live as one of the greatest men in conservative history correct 98.4% of the time. There are few men in history that has received the same award as President Ronald Reagan. There are fewer men that could go on day after day under the scrutiny he faces. And there are only a handful of men that could keep themselves reserved while suffering the onslaught of the visceral hatred of “compassionate liberals.”

Quite frankly, I don’t know how he does it. How does he stand so strong against so much? How does he execute his duties so faithfully with the onslaught of these lies? How does he continue to go on the air? Especially when the people that presume to blackmail him walk free! “The Passion.” That’s how.

As I listened to his show today, January 27, 2004, I could hear “The Passion.” Liberal after liberal tried to infiltrate the show and discredit the man behind the “Golden EIB Microphone.” He was fiery. He was excellent. He’d had enough. They failed to extinguish him.

Last night, his attorney, Roy Black, was filled with “The Passion.” Filled so full that it seemed as if Rush himself were sitting there screaming the answers, “I DID NOT DO THIS!”

I was enthralled. I was overjoyed. I felt giddy, like a kid in a candy store. I knew for the first time in months as if justice had taken a direct blow to the lies and corruption creeping into Rush Limbaugh’s life. Never had I wavered. Never had I been so steadfast in my disbelief of the news media. I never believed the allegations. Not once. Not until Rush himself admitted it.

I was disappointed when I heard Rush was addicted to prescription painkillers. Why, you ask? Because I had placed him on so high a pedestal, considering him the greatest man in the world. You know what? I still do. Despite all the claims, I still consider him the greatest conservative I’ll ever know.

I know you’re saying I’m crazy. I know you’re telling me to check myself into therapy, but it’s true. I can’t help it. I can’t help but applaud a man with this many medical conditions going on day after day after day after day, executing liberal lies with impunity. I have too much respect and admiration for the man that put his own show ahead of pain, pushing himself into addiction and blackmail. Too much admiration for the man that removed the disease, the man that removed liberalism.

Liberalism was planted deep within me, as if it were a parasite feeding on me. Rush cut it out like a surgeon excising a cancerous tumor, giving me the opportunity to experience life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He gave me the chance of a lifetime. The “lone beacon of opposition” handed me a certainty, a guarantee no person had ever given me before. No, he didn’t come to Texas and brainwash me. He presented his case like he does every single day-clearly, concisely and effectively, planting the seed of common sense in my brain. By sowing that seed, he also gave me hope, happiness, and “The Passion.”

“The Passion” to live life, to succeed again and again, and to not feel guilty about creating wealth. He handed me an education in advanced conservative studies and said, “Go forth and produce young man. Give life everything you’ve got.” And I do. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I owe at a minimum my undying support and loyalty.

Everyday Rush withstands the assaults, he strengthens my resolve to praise him more and more. The more the liberals bash Rush the more I salute him. The more they harangue him the more I respect him. They cannot or will they ever break my obstinate resolve. Instead, they have only succeeded in convincing me how corrupt, phony, and merciless they really are.

With Rush on the radio, I continue to conquer day after day, living in conservative principles, consumed with the fiery notion of my new life. I rebuke liberalism with special thanks to my educator. I love the life I have earned, as I pursue success after success, and eagerly wait another broadcast day of “The Passion.”

I was so LUCKY to meet Barbara Olson in Houston at a party a few years ago. She was the warmest, prettiest, friendliest person! Just gorgeous and she put everyone at ease. There was a warmth about her that filled the room. They played a tape of a stewardess on one of the 9/11 hijacked planes, the one that left from Boston Logan Airport - that was the one Barbara was on. I wish everyone here could have met her. You would have all loved her.

Barbara would never have approved of Rush's private records being made public. You are right, she was a fearless fighter, hence the name of HELL TO PAY, the book about Hillary. She wasn't even afraid of Hillary! Hillary scares me to death.

Congratulations to Chris! *DEEP BOW*

And to Rush, hang in there my FRiend! Know you're loved and respected - although you are only human.

Rush, give 'em hell and send that K guy packing for all his liberal self-loathing hypocrisy. He's not fit to shine your shoes, yet he's bent on destroying you, your reputation, and your income source!

Well it ain't gonna happen because he failed to recognize your determination and your grit. RUSH, YOU ROCK! ....Carry on, oh great One... ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Rush took pain killers to the point of addiction. The addiction then took Rush. In time, the addiction would have taken his marriage, his relationships, livelihood and his life. My compassion is out for anyone addicted to drugs, regardless of their political stripe. Let us see what you have to say, when addiction takes someone close to you.

Gut check -- would we really feel the same if "Clinton" and "cocaine" were substituted for "Rush" and "pain killers" in your paragraph?

I've turned to Hannity, Michael Medved, and Drudge for moral compassing.

You turn to radio talk show hosts and internet news linkers for moral compassing? Wow! Are you lost!?!

I don't think overdependence on and overuse of PRESCRIPTION pain pills, first prescribed for a TRUE MEDICAL CHRONIC BACK PAIN case compared to The Bent Rapist who USED cocaine for no good reason at all! Illegal drug addition is not the same as legal drug addiction~ Ask any doctor who has to prescribe pain meds. while weighing the risk of addiction to said drugs.

I live with chronic back pain, I know how easy it is to get addicted.

For a man with chronic back pain, Rush was constantly golfing and hobnobbing (the details of which his listeners have heard over and over).

How much golfing do you do with chronic back pain?

Comparing RL to Christ is extremely offensive.

Agreed. Offensive or annoying. Way, way too much.

Sounds like you should turn to Al Franken (when his new show opens), CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and NPR.

Surely you knew that "The Passion" is Mel Gibson's movie about the crucifixion of Christ. Had this been a mere mistake of terms, I would have expected to see "The Passion" as the "passion".

By using the quotations and capitalization, you've chosen to equate Christ's crucifixion with Rush's current legal problems. My guess is that it was intentional. If it was strictly coincidence, please accept my apologies.

Your point was made but the way you made it is going to be offensive for some people who would otherwise agree with your intended purpose.

True. I probably shouldn't have capitalized it.

I've had chronic back pain for 18 years. I don't golf but I have backpacked, worked as a carpenter, gardened (much harder on the back than golf), rebuilt truck engines, picked and dug medicinal plants, driven my '59 Chevy truck thousand of miles each summer to collect the plants and on and on ... That's how much a person can do with severe back pain. Without drugs.

Illegal drug addition is not the same as legal drug addiction

A fine line. Many people addicted to Oxycontin never had a prescription. And many others have self-treated pain with illegal drugs and got addicted.

I feel that it's necessary to point out that Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer and a radio personality.

Bill Clinton was first the chief executive of Arkansas, then the chief executive of the United States. You know, the guy who's in charge of executing the laws.

Last time I checked, Rush Limbaugh wasn't appointing federal judges or U.S. attorneys, and signing laws that make stuff we do illegal.

If I take a handful of painkillers I can do stuff. Not well, but it's amazing what those little pills can do.

And it's a lot easier to take the pills and pretend you have no problem, rather than feel like a wimp and lie on the sofa all day in pain.

The problem is, people don't respect you if you lie on your back day after day, and complain. Americans don't understand true pain at all. And your self esteem takes a huge hit, because you feel useless. So the temptation to overdose on pain pills is huge, because nobody need know you are anesthetized up to your eyeballs. I can walk around like a human being after a few Vicodan.

But I'm not rich, and I get scared to get behind a steering wheel with meds in me, even legal ones. So I sit home in pain, trying to figure out a way to make ends meet.

WHat "Yeah but"?

The guy admitted he is an addict. He did not get his addiction partying with ne-er do wells, he got hooked from treatment of chronic pain, something quite understandable. He did not deny deny deny when caught like Clinton did. And He did what an addict should do and checked himself into rehab. I don't know what more could or should be expected from him.

Look being a conservative is not never making a mistake. for if it were there would be no conservatives at all, including you I am quite certain. Being a conservative is saying "oops, I shouldn't have, but I F*&^ed up, I admit it and I'm going to better from now on."

Good point. A CIC would obviously be expected to adhere to a higher standard than a radio entertainer, for security's sake it nothing else.

I went to Rush's website and found the link to this thread on Rush's homepage.

Soon after, it was MOVED to the 24/7 area.

So to those who've come on this thread to nit-pick and throw rocks at Rush - Let me say "THANKS.... YOU'VE NOW KILLED OUR LINK. HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!"

What's a 24/7 area?

You'll have to explain some of this stuff to those who don't frequent the Limbaugh website.

I'm not a Dittohead - I only kick the stuffing out of the little weasels who bash Limbaugh on FR
