Limbaugh Ranks Among Conservative Greats

Human Events ^ | The Week of December 3, 2001 | Mark R. Levin

[wildconservatism]

As far as I’m concerned, the giants of modern day conservatism are William Buckley, Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, and Rush Limbaugh.

What about Pat Buchanan, Sam Francis, and Joe Sobran? Those are Levin's neo-con giants.

DITTO....the guy is just the latest in a long line of American flim-flam silver-tongue'd devils.

What does Maha Rushie say about Bush's plan to proceed with Mexican trucking in the U.S.?

You mean Rush has an opinion on a real issue?

[Semper911]

Rush is a pompous ass, with the sense of humor similar to that of an eighth grader. It is unfortunate that his is the only show on the dial during the day.

Talk radio is starved for intelligent, intertesting conservative information because everyone is trying to be like Rush.

I gather you don't listen to Rush - too bad! I feel the very same way Veronica does about Rush. He validates exactly what I feel! Before I listened to him, I didn't think there was anyone in the world who believed the way I did.

If you don't like him - so be it, but you don't have to ridicule those who do like him.

Rush Limbaugh's forte lies in the political arena which is now starting to raise its head and Rush deals with this so well as no others do. After WTC he was lost because this was an area that is not in his forte. All the other syndicated talk shows, Hugh Hewitt, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, including Rush basically bore me because I look at other sites on the web to find information that these people never address. But I expect no man to be all things for others and myself. We conservatives own talk show radio. And how much time do people spend on the road? No wonder there is so much road rage! The lib commies go ballistic when they can't find a moron spouting their beliefs! LOL!

[Sueann]

I believe Rush is primarily responsible for turning the public around on their view of Clinton. During impeachment the polls said 75% of the public did not want Clinton removed from office, while 25% said they did. However, one year later, after a lot of information had become public, the numbers were totally reversed. 75% now believed it was a mistake leaving him in office. 25% still supported him. And ... it was a 25% personal rating that Clinton maintained until the end of his term.

I personally believe the 75% who thought leaving Clinton in office was a mistake are still with us. And ... because I believe this, I can see where the liberal mantras just don't stick any more. The libs are still there dishing out the garbage, but the public is not buying it. I totally credit Rush with this.

[SuziQ]

I haven't been able to listen to Rush much in the last few months. I'm homeschooling my kids, and I know they'd rather listen to the radio than do their work, so I haven't turned it on much. We usually listen while we're having lunch, then have to turn it off to get back to lessons.

I'm keeping him in my prayers for successful surgery for the implant.

[supercalifragilistic]

Thanks for posting this. I am forever indebted to Rush for helping me think through the issues of the day. I remember over ten years ago turning him on in the car and getting geared up to be outraged. Rush just made me laugh out loud with his humor, and thus opened a new chapter in my life of deeper thinking.

And Mark Levin is no lightweight either. His knowledge of the law was invaluable to my understanding of the whole impeachment mess. No doubt he was invaluable to Rush as well.

My prayers are certainly with Rush as he prepares for this important surgery.

Those last years in college have certainly strained your brain matter. you, sir sound like you are full of it!

[Defender2]

[Rogmonster]
