God Bless you and your Family Always!Thanks for the comments. I appreciate 'em. I agree with you on Rush. He is the best.

One thing to emphasize Rush's very considerable talent, and his admiration for Rushmore-should-be RWR - but we should remember that talk radio as a conservative phenomenon has its roots in the Reagan decision to dump the Fairness Doctrine. It's so easy now to look back and say, with 20-20 hindsight, that the Fairness Doctrine served no other function but to buttress the Establishment liberal monopoly and suppress the broadcasting of conservative opinion. That was however not how it was advertised; all liberals - and even some FReepers who think that they are conservative - think that the the government should enforce "fairness" in broadcasting and even on The New York Times.
In fact of course the Constitution in general and the First Amendment in particular says nothing about "fairness," - and the government is not capable of enforcing "fairness", and cannot be made to even want to.

Excellent point, CIC.

Ping! Someone must've moved it back into News/Activism. They had moved it from the earlier post to Bloggers.

A truly superb read. It is hard to imagine not having Mr. Limbaugh on the radio. I know that he helped me survive High School and College, and for that I am eternally grateful.Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. Sorry it took so long, I must've got lost in all the pings.
