I've been listening to Rush since '93.
Simply put, the man is funny as he!!.
We don't receive Jim in our area (VT) and my company has pretty strict internet rules at work. I'll take your word for it, however.
We know you'll see or hear about this thread, Rush, so let me add my "God Bless and Keep you, Rush Limbaugh!"

Even though the Navy names boomers after states, the SSBN Limbaugh sends a message to our enemies, and pi$$es off liberals. A twofer.
Oh, and I forgot, thanks Rush.

A visionary post to a visionary man. Thank you John Robertson and Thank You Rush!
Part of Rush's importance is his recognition of just how important and how visionary Ronald Reagan was. Equally significant has been Rush's determination not to allow the left to rewrite the history of the eighties. Ronald Reagan is the most important President since Lincoln.
Reagan's speeches provide the guideposts that would allow the United States to reach the renaissance that he envisioned as his legacey. I would recommend the series about Reagan's Renaissance being published at Financial Sense Online to all Freepers. The series is indexed and archived here. To see what is possible, read The Great Debate first. Then read the rest in chronological order. Enjoy!
I would think the Reagan Renaissance would be right up Rush's alley.
My niece's husband turned me onto Rush about '95.
Rush was truly loaned to us by God. Otherwise, we might be in the same boat as the Dutch.
I remember working on a consulting contract for a small business back in '92. The two owners were big Rush fans and filled me in with all sorts of news. I was one of those that had grown up respecting the Presidency on almost a mythical level. I couldn't believe the tales they were telling about Clinton and his late night sex forays. Well, as history has shown, all of these stories and more were borne out as the truth.
I heard about this new "syndrome" in the last few days: it is something like post-election-stress/trauma.
Not to worry, tho', it only afflicts Liberals and Democrats. (Recent example: Clinton's nasty interview with Peter Jennings. Of course, Clinton's distress runs much deeper than just this last election cycle.)
Like I said: Very well said, very well written.
Post Election Selection Trauma. Read about it here.
Dittos.
Post Election Selection Trauma
It is the term for what the crybabies on the Left are feeling after the election. It is unprecedented in just how far the Left have gone. It is going to fill the coffers of shrinks for years (if all goes well, we will have P.E.S.T. in the Left for the next 100 years).
I'm a long time Dittohead. Rush is superb. Others have followed, some are more conservative, but none are as intelligent and thoughtful and well-spoken.
Rush Limbaugh: Man of the Year
That being said, yes, we all owe a big debt of gratitude to Rush.
What's amazing about Rush Haters is...they've never really listened to his show. If they hear you're a Rush listener, they automatically ascribe all sorts of nasty things to you--anti-feminist, homophobe, right-wing nutcase, etc. Then you press a little bit: Have you ever listened to Rush. I've heard him, comes the reply. Have you ever LISTENED to an entire show...and then followed up by listening to several shows, so your opinion is at least based on some reasonable experience? Uh...no.
Same goes with Fox News. Some people react viscerally to the mention of it. Do you listen to it? Uh...no.
I always reply, You should tune into Fox News just from a cultural standpoint. After all, very soon they will have bigger ratings than CBS, NBC and ABC. Then I say, Combined.
A few years ago I was forced by family circumstances to spend a few weeks in San Francisco and L.A. I distinctly remember the morning I got back in my car to drive home to my "red county". The first thing I heard as I swung north on the freeway and headed home was Rush's theme on the radio...Tum, Tum Tum ta Da Tum Tum....and it brought TEARS to my eyes! It was a breath of fresh air! I'll never forget it.
Thank you Rush. My late husband and I spent many hours listening to you and learning.
"Rush has helped to stem the growing tide of liberalism that has infiltrated every aspect of our lives, and has been a real force in helping to turn this big vehicle around, but we ain't even close to being there yet."
No big disagreement. But at least the boat has been stopped, and we're starting to make that big wide turn we have to make. Long way to go, agreed.
But my bigger point was, were it not for Rush, and all he wrought, I truly believe we'd be looking at Hillary as president in '00--we'd be looking forward to her second term right now. We'd likely have dem-majority houses of congress. It would be hell on earth. We probably wouldn't have FR to discuss this on...truly hell on earth.
And he gets to snuggle with Daryn Kagan to boot.
I think he'll survive without a pat on the ass from people he knows have his six anyway.
