Rush Limbaugh, the radio host who dominated conservative media for three-plus decades, died Wednesday at the age of 70. He was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in February 2020.
That is too bad. Not many 'entertainers' which have alternative views are on the radio. My bet is a lot of liberal minded will crowd to take over any conservative talk radio host continuing.
There have been numerous commie/lib talk show hosts who have tried to compete with Rush over the past 30 some years and no one could hold a crowd. Many of you probably don't know that Rush had a crowd of 30 million (or more) average listeners EVERY DAY.
While I didn't always agree with him, Rush made himself a force to be reckoned with and he will surely be missed. I'm betting on Mark Stein or Dan Bongino as his replacement.
This month's issue of the Limbaugh Letter had a great photo of him, along with the words, "God is With Me". Also several good, personal articles. His brother, David, is a well-known religious author and was instrumental in re-igniting his brother's faith. FYI: I have most of the Limbaugh Letters going back to 1992.
Lo, There do I see my Father Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning Lo, They do call to me They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla Where thine enemies have been vanquished Where the brave shall live Forever Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death.
I went back and forth with Rush, for a time. I used to think that he was too partisan, at one time. Then, I watched and listened to Sean Hannity, and suddenly Rush became a moderate. Actually, Rush, while being a right wing conservative, was not the type of conservative that made me cringe the way that Hannity does. Rush actually had the truth and data to back up everything that he said. As for replacing him, there will be those who attempt to do so. The one who finally gets his spot will be the one who understands in their heart that there is no replacing Rush. Rush was able to call out a leftist, for being uber partisan ,without being seen as an angry, mean person. No doubt, the left will line up to show how much they loved and respected Rush. Even though when he received the Medal of Freedom, from former president Trump, they sat on their hands, with angry looks on their faces. Now that he is dead, it will be alright to show that they are really human. Of course, they will have to find someway to show that his death from lung cancer was related to Covid19, before the will pretend to have been big fans of his.
You give them too much credit for being decent humans. They are dancing on his grave as we speak, as they typically do when a conservative dies. One less Nazi as far as they figure in their warped minds.
When my mother passed and for several years afterwards I went to town hall and made sure that she was removed from the voting rolls and stayed that way.
Let us not mourn the loss of a dear old friend. Let us celebrate the life of a man of wisdom and humor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pM-r_DTSls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfaZZLWbUTU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft4O2J9pc8
I looked at Rush like the father you went to too get advice or wisdom. He was always gracious and full of trust in God and do your best and it will be OK. Rest in peace.
Bless you Rush. And God bless your golden EIB microphone. Your broadcasts in conservatism and faith in conservative values will never die. May millions of patriots carry your cause till the end of time.
Hail to my lost friend. I will miss his intelligence , wit and humor.

Sad to hear that. I remember his opening some of his shows with "with my formerly nicotine-stained fingers". Damned tobacco.
ReplyDeleteHe fought the good fight.
ReplyDeleteSad news. RIP, Rush.

I've been a daily listener for years. I feel like he is an old "BS" over the backyard fence" friend. R.I.P. dittos Rush.

ReplyDeleteLo, There do I see my Father
ReplyDeleteLo, There do I see my Mother and
My Brothers and my Sisters
Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
Lo, They do call to me
They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla
Where thine enemies have been vanquished
Where the brave shall live Forever
Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death.
The voice of EIB is gone.A patriot in my eyes. RIP Sir.
ReplyDeleteSaddened for the loss; content that he had his Faith; thankful that he was able to help the conservatives for 30+ years!

God Bless Rush...
ReplyDeleteThis is sad, but expected. He will be missed. I guess from now on he will be voting Democrat.
ReplyDeleteWhen my mother passed and for several years afterwards I went to town hall and made sure that she was removed from the voting rolls and stayed that way.
DeleteI used to think he was a nut, until a slew of his predictions started coming true in the early 00's. A pioneer and a legend in his own time. RIP Rush.

RIP Rush. Thanks for everything you did for us.
ReplyDeleteAs an early "Ditto Head", he was my companion for many hours behind the wheel. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteThe light of freedom has dimmed!
