Having said that, I'm not going to live and die by his every word like some demented sycophant who doesn't realize that the man is doing nothing more than running a successful business.
How can I best say amen? You're totally right and that's why I posted the lines from Lowry Mays. His honesty about the business was a breath of fresh air when it came out in 2003. Like Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) said in The Godfather, "...this is business not personal."
We're all trying to make an honest buck and Rush Limbaugh has certainly excelled in that regard. Plus, he's created a number of jobs with his wealth.

Remember the line of men's ties that Rush marketed about 15 years ago? I bought a couple because they were different not because I needed two more ties.
At that time our parish priest was a democrat. He and I could trade remarks about politics without getting into a shouting match. Rush's name came up a time or two.
Of course when Rush put his ties on the market I had to buy a couple because they were distinctive to say the least. I don't recall the year, but it was shortly before Christmas when I purchased them.
It came time to dress for midnight mass on Christmas Eve. There was no question about it I would wear one of Rush's ties. I picked the tie that carried the name Stained Glass, it was the more conservative of the two.
I walked in the door of the church with my overcoat open so the tie could be seen. Father spotted it and recognized it within the blink of eye. The look on his face....priceless !
Before Mass I had the chance to look around and what do I see? Four other men wearing Rush's ties. That added to the joy of that particular Christmas.
Father retired years ago, but I still wear Stained Glass by Rush to midnight mass on Christmas Eve without fail. It has become a tradition with me.
The moral of my story is that Rush created jobs when he came out of with his line of men's ties. Capitalists do that sort of thing quite well.
