Or how many pubbies voted for Hitlery in Operation Chaos.
Rush not only filled us in on the truth of the politics of the day, he was so much fun.
And the way he drove the demonrats crazy was a sight to behold.
Nothing like him today, may never be another Rush.
People who know and study American history, were still abundant when Rush Limbaugh ventured onto the national stage - following a bow wave created by Ronald Reagan. Americans still traveled to historical sites.
Despite some popular observations about young people and the current “anti-study” of American History, I am occasionally surprised when I meet a young person who is interested . . . because he or she is aware of NOT being taught American History and finds that they want to know a lot more.
On the other hand, I did meet a gal, born in the midwest and maybe 35 years old, who had never heard of the Civil War. She was a teen during the early G. W. Bush Admin., when American History had already been heading over the cliff - in high schools.
Yet Rush sure did attract young people who learned what was not on, or sufficiently reported in, the evening TV news.
I think that too many Republicans in the public eye, do not sufficiently know, and are unable to support [with], American History - in their speaking.
Rush Limbaugh’s father sure had the talent. Ronald Reagan did.
My point is, you have to be a teacher who knows American History, and, who loves your students - as a conservative radio showman.
In order to gain ground.
