Megadittos to Rush.

Condolences to Chris.

Chagrin for the "compassionate" conservative's current Court choice.

Blessings.

That's why they are trying so hard to take him down with the pain meds issue. What's going on with that now? Is it still pending?

Fabulous.

Make no mistake. Rush Limbaugh is still “The Passion.” He is still the passion of conservatism, the very pulse, bounding through the heart of a thriving nation. He produces life, optimism and a love for America with every broadcast of his show, scoffing at liberalism and giving 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, William F. Buckley Jr., 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.

It's very difficult to put into words my passion for Rush, but Chris has done it. As long as I have been listening to Rush, every time I turn on the show I find myself marveling at his brilliance, and the energy with which he illuminates the issues. He always finds the nugget of wisdom, the essence of a topic. The one that makes me say "a-ha!."

My condolences to you and your family.

I started listening to Rush locally, before he went national, while I was still in HS. He taught me the greatness of Reagan conservatism and for that I owe him a debt of honor.

Rush is beautiful and so are you for articulating it so well. Sorry you lost your dad. I lost mine at age 94!!!

Rush has a certain show that he sometimes runs on days when he is off, or on holidays, and it has been a great source of inspiration to me in my career, and just as an adult making my way in this world. I won't say which show it is, but it's a perennial.

When times are hard, it's comforting to hear a positive message from someone you respect, someone who has had both failure and great success in his life (as Rush has, and he makes no bones about that.)

By the way, my uncle, Ed Linn, who was a very successful writer/novelist, and a FReeper, turned me on to Rush, many, many years ago. I remember the conversation very clearly, for some reason. The time, place, etc.

So sad for Chris.......

I remember my own dad (WW2 marine, MSU grad, Army 1st Lt., retired Detroit police Executive Lieutenant) back in the late 60's professing the threat of the commies (HaHaHa, dad is a paranoid wacko!)

Didn't take me long in the army to figure out dad was right.

At least I can say that the one positive aspect I had on his life that was recognized was the fact that I turned him on to Rush and from that day forward dad was a diehard listener be it here in Michigan or when they wintered in Arizona........

You are the man your father wanted you to be, and I am sure he was very proud of his son! God bless you and yours--I am very sorry for your loss of your beloved father!
