Pat Boone: (Rush Limbaugh) Patriot of the airwaves

Rush Limbaugh is a patriot. Pure and simple, a patriot.

I see him in the select company of other patriots like Paul Revere, Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin. Thankfully, he hasn't been asked to make a dying proclamation like Nathan Hale – "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" – but I suspect he would, if it came to that.

Oh, I know he's the big dog in radio, all radio, and not just conservative. And I know he's paid big bucks because of the millions that listen to him every week. And I'm aware of the self-named Excellence in Broadcasting network and the frequent bombast and braggadocio that's grown and developed through the years as an outcropping of his exuberant personality – and it's meant to be entertaining. And to multiplied millions of "ditto heads," it is.

And of course, I'm aware of the savage and disparaging descriptions of him and his outspoken convictions, voiced angrily by liberals and leftists who hate him. They hate and envy him because he now wields such huge influence across the country. They've tried and failed to mount their own broadcasts and networks, having to gnash their teeth in recognition that their products aren't appealing to heartland America.

But for an amazing 20 years now, Rush's brand of unabashed love of his country and a conservative approach to its government – his patriotism – have resonated deeply with great multitudes of his fellow citizens.

Rush, like Paine, has not shrunk from the conflict; indeed, he is energized by it, believing in the triumph of the true American will. He brings the humor and wisdom of Ben Franklin to the battle, and we cheer him on.

Perfect!

Oh, and God bless Pat Boone as well! :-) My apologies, Mr. Boone. :-)

Libs love to equate Rush with the “hateful right wing” but in 19 years of listening to him almost daily, I have yet to hear him utter one sentence of hate. Compare that to any 3 minute segment of librul radio OR TV and you will get an earfull of venemous hatred towards all things right.

I tried to get Rush to use my intro to Zippo Hero but I never heard back from him.

God bless Rush and Pat Boone!

Right on, right on!

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us – that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." - Thomas Paine

What an awsome quote, too bad it falls on so many deaf ears these days

God bless you Rush and Pat.

Rush will be in the history books!!

Exsctly. I have never heard him say a hateful word toward anyone. A lot of teasing, some judicious mockery, but hate never. It isn't in him, apparently.

He approaches each debate with good humor and confidence, he is an optimist in the world of ideas.

Another thing; he doesn't follow GOP talking points. He generally leads them, he's generally out in front of them. There are others who seem to follow the daily talking points but he typically is out front, in harmony with the conservative critical center but slightly ahead of the GOP establishment.

They get their talking points from him.

To this closing line of Pat Boone's essay, I can only say..."mega dittos"

Congratulations, Rush Limbaugh. Long may you live. And loudly.

God bless Pat! He’s absolutely right. Rush is a true Patriot...and far more often than not, right.

Now, if only he can get his personal life together... (Rush is divorced from wife 3 or 4 now?)

[Parley Baer]

Ditto’s.

That’s why Bush should present Rush with the Presidential Medal of Freedom before he leave office.
