Actually, no. Isaiah did more than talk. Jeremiah got himself thrown into a cistern. Elijah had to run for his life. I could go on.
Rush is a great talker. His talk is of value.
But he never voted for Reagan, and he’s often and loudly said he has no use for demonstrations, rallies... or activism of any sort. Unless he’s changed since I’ve been able to be a regular listener.
Did I say his talk was without value? Nope. But when I was an early listener, caller after caller told him he was a hero, and he said “Thanks.” He’s not a hero. He’s a great talker.
Heroes do. You know that; you’ve written well about a truckload of them.

“Heroes do”
Rush is doing and it just happens that talking is what he does best. He really is the Ben Franklin of our time.

But he never voted for Reagan,It would be more accurate to say 'he didn't vote at all'.

Sorry, Dan you're way off on this. Sam Adams "talked" with his pen. Tom Paine mostly "talked" (yes, he was in the CA, but that's now what made him important). Even Adam Smith and William Wilberforce were far more important for their TALK and their ideas than their actions.
And, yeah, Rush is a hero. Certainly he's my hero.
