A warning to you.

The moderator and / or self-appointed know-it-alls around here may yank this thread.

They'll tell you it was previously posted.

I can assure you that I also posted it, earlier today, AFTER I DID A SEARCH for it, which FR engine returned NOTHING!

So don't be too alarmed if the Department of FR-Land Security swoops down upon your narrow shoulders.

If it were not for Rush, we would not be here. Some of us need to be reminded of that. He single handedly saved Conservatism, and with it, delayed America's demise for at least another generation. I can never repay him for opening my eyes, but I can say that if he is lurking here, in FreeperLand...Thank you!

This is a pretty good article (I haven't seen it before). I usually always find myself agreeing with Rush on almost every topic. We need more like him.

Bump for a great article and goodnight.

I have always gotten a kick out of Rush Limbaugh, even though he seems like a real pompous ass at times (i.e., when he reminds me of me!).

He definitely has been a force for good in the political realm. He also, like any human being, isn't above correction himself and shouldn't be let off the hook when he is in error.

Rush is no longer very knowledgable about the nuances of many of the subjects upon which he pontificates.

He will launch into ecstasies of indignation over things of which he has little more than a superficial knowledge and understanding.

Two cases in point were the NY Times article about the EPA's report on global warming and the Washington Post article about the supposed opposition of the military chiefs to an attack on Iraq.

Both articles were misrepresentions to one extent or another but Rush swallowed them hook, line and sinker and used them as springboards to launch rhetorical assaults on the Bush administration.

As a perceptive commentator on contemporary America, Rush is a has-been.

I think Rush is terrific! I've listened to him for over 10 years.

Howie Carr is pretty good, too.

Rush is Ok, but he bugs me often enough that I don't tune in nearly as often as I once did. For me, Balint Vazsonyi is a different story ... he is just about everything you could wish for in an emigrant American.
