I also credit him for the time I spent listening to him back in the 90’s.
He also got me to think about things in a more logical manner, which is something, because I am sort of a chaotic minded type of person.
I will also say that his program laid the foundation for my conservative outlook. I’ve listened to a great, great many Limbaugh shows, and I’d say those earlier years were quite a bit better than what he is currently doing.
Something is off with him though. I don’t think one can be a conservative and not be just completely disgusted with the GOP at this point, and I do not get that from him at all. Seems like he is just fine with the GOP, and that is a big turn off for me.
I think perhaps after fighting hard for awhile, and he gets older, they lose their edge.
They don’t groom up replacements. Possibly overstay a welcome.
May just be part of the typical getting old process.
Personally I just don’t think many folks have the internal fortitude of a Charleton Heston, or Ted Nugent, or Chuck Norris, or a Clint Eastwood.
Like so many people who come from humble beginnings, then rise to great fame and fortune, Limbaugh has gradually lost touch with the common man.
He lives in a rareified world of personal luxury and security, unknown to people like us. No matter what happens on the political stage, his nest is safe and feathered with down. Always will be.
I think it’s all become an intellectual exercise for Rush. Its why he seems unperturbed by events that raise the hackles on the rest of us. I think it’s also why he’s sometimes more interested in issues like ‘deflategate’, when far more pressing things are rattling the people’s nerves.
Notice that he’s not doing a thing to step up and take a bigger (and riskier) role in the nation’s affairs. Glenn Beck may be a nut, but he has stepped outside his personal bubble and put it all on the line, many times. Can’t say the same for Rush, who’s steadfastly remained in his ivory tower, pontificating from on high.
He even denies the massive civil war going on in the party. It’s as though he thinks that those for Trump are waving their pom poms for the GOPe.
Now. instead of talking about Ryan close advisor, Daniel Senor’s leaked documents, let’s talk about what Eleanor Norton Holmes said. . . Now Joy Bayhar . . .
What???????????????
The most blatant political coup in a lifetime and you want to talk about this fluff?
