About Rush Limbaugh

Timothy Bella / Washington Post:
Rush Limbaugh joins the likes of Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks as recipient of highest civilian honor  —  There was Mother Teresa, “a heroine of our times,” and Rosa Parks, “a living icon for freedom in America.”  Elie Wiesel kept “watch against the forces of hatred,” while Jackie Robinson … 
Editor:  I am older than Rush but - among other things - I have been a contrarian most of my adult life. Back in the early 1990's,  my daughter called me with this announcement:  "Dad,  you need to listen to KMJ at nine in the morning.  They have a guy on there who talks like you." And I have listened to him since that time.  What is key, here, is the fact that Rush is our voice.  More specifically, he is the blue collar intellectual  . . . .  and Trump mirrors that same blue-collar mentality.

I have found that those who do not care for Rush do not listen to him.  Their opinions of him are shaped by his critics  . . .  his enemies.  they listen to those who hate the man.  And in that sense,  their opinons are not their own.

We forget the reason, the single reason,  for Limbaugh's seeming "instant" success, namely, that he voiced the opinions of the common man.  Within the shortest of time,  he ceased to be a stranger on the radio.  He was one of us and that is why he is loved  and given a place of honorwithin the Patriotic community.
