Like global warming, swine flu and everything else wrong in the world, racist, sexist and homophobe, Rush Limbaugh is largely responsible for who I am today. In 1993, I had a great job as Art Dept. supervisor at an ABC affiliate TV station in Baltimore. The same station where Oprah was co-host on our morning show, years earlier.
While minding my own business, my favorite radio talk show host was replaced with Rush Limbaugh. I thought, “Who is this wise guy?” A week later, I was hooked.
Unapologetic, Rush courageously and boldly said everything I felt. Rush became my HERO! At that time, middle aged folks were being let go because of company down-sizings. The ever optimistic Rush, encouraged folks to view their termination as a opportunity to pursue their dreams. HR had just awarded me my 15 years of service “gold pin”. I had 15 more years to go to retire. Inspired by Rush, I told my wonderful wife, I wanted to quit my job to pursue a music career full time. My amazing wife said, “Let's go for it!”
We were broke for the next 15 years. Five years ago, we were homeless. However, as weird as this may sound, we are grateful for our incredible journey. We grew from whiny kids, to grateful adults. We learned to trust God for EVERYTHING! Today, we are living our dreams. Awesome!
None of this would have happened had I not been inspired and encouraged to believe in myself and the greatness of America by Rush Limbaugh.
Something else I truly admire about Rush is his courage to stand up for what he believes. Case in point. When his fans tried to pressure Rush into supporting Ross Perot, Rush said, “There's something not right about this guy”. Rush was right.
Folks, Rush especially, but you can include Hannity and Beck, are getting pretty beat up by the media, dems and even republicans. It is extremely critical that we stand by these guys. We need these brave patriot generals, if we are to win this battle against secular progressives and America hating leftists who seek to remake America in their own vile image.
Let's continually let Rush, Hannity and Beck know, “Hang in the brothers, WE GOT YOUR BACKS!”

He agrees with me about 75% of the time, but I’ll take it. He will eventually come around.
Unfortunately, most people would not be willing to go broke for even a year.
It says a lot about your character and determination.
But when God is on your side, who will oppose you?
If you have broadband internet, you can listen to Mark on your very own computer. Look for the daily thread which will have links.
I like Rush too. But then again, I am a white male, so what do I know. I better go ask a Latina Woman if I should be listening to Rush.
I have learned more from Rush than in 12 years of school, 4 years of college and 2 years of grad school put together — while paying pittance in tuition (which is my annual subscription to 24/7). More than the “what” I have learned, I would say it’s the “how” to look at things that has shaped much of my outlook on life.
Excellent post, thanks.
I have found if you take care of Gods Business he will take care of yours
Rush is not a racist!
So, you were a Super Senior as well!
Guaranteed!!
He knows that. He's saying it tongue-in-cheek.
I wish Rush would say a little more and go a little farther, but he does a great job of nibbling at the edges of our nation's problems.
I am disappointed and sometimes infuriated that he refused to discuss the Obama natural born issue.
It bugs me no end when he calls people like Bill Ayers “radical leftists”. He make these communist revolutionaries sound as non-threatening as Norwegians. ( My apologies to to Norwegians.)
I personally have never heard him identify Marxism as being our nation's most serious threat.
He does have great fun taking jabs at the government schools but I have never heard him suggest that parents should remove their kids or that the government K-12 schools should be shut down.
He generally ignores the homosexual bullies and their machinations. They have to do something **really** flagrant for him to mention it.
Do I enjoy Rush? Yeah, he is a funny nibbler.
Thanks Marcus, I’m with you brother!
Good job...you make a difference!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Great stuff. Please be a regular poster and you should call into Levin’s show sometime
My first encounter with Rush was in April of 1989, and I remember that day very clearly ... the company I worked for had just moved into a new location and I didn't know where to go at lunchtime, so I went to my car to catch a Yankees game on WABC-NY radio ... but there was no Yankees game being broadcast, instead there was this odd little talk show voice saying things that made me nod my head in agreement with and the more I listened the more in agreement I was with it. What Rush was saying is what I'd been thinking for as far back as I could remember, but could never express verbally because I'd get shouted down every time -- early "political correctness" hostility, as it were --
Fast forwards to now where Rush is considered a 'celebrity' of sorts, and yes he can and has been somewhat of a blowhard at times .. but contrast Rush's reasoned arguments with that of the many other left wing blowhards who know not what the heck they are saying, and Rush is far and away more in tune with his audience than left wingers are
BUMP.
Good article, Lloyd.
