I have only welled up twice for non family related passings Reagan and Rush I will miss that ol windbag RIP Rush you taught me more stuff than anyone else on the planet
I shed not one tear for my father. He was miserable, trapped in a body that no longer cared what he wanted or thought, his mind clouded, humiliated by his own helplessness. His death was a liberation from this prison, and I was happy for him.
Rush, however, was still a firebrand, capable of brilliant insights and powerful arguments, a freedom fighter ‘til the end. Kosciusko (sp?) keeps coming to mind. The cheap gloating of the leftards reminds me of the Cossacks’ loud reveling of Thadeus’ downfall in battle.
