Just finished listening to his last show, it was great.
He made me understand it was ok to be conservative and believe in personal responsibility.
And that I wasnt alone.
We were blessed to have had him.
My heart hurts, like Rush was a member of my family.....well.....for 20 years, he was.
His “Like” was seen in pre-Revolutionary America manifested in the existence of Samuel Adams.
Thank you Kaslin for the many posts and summations of Rush’s shows. You deserve credit.
I wept today. I listened to him for 30 years. Every day he was on, no matter where I was, I tried my best to listen to him. He was like a member of my family. I will miss him greatly.
His passing gives us courage to fight on. Ever seen a grown man cry?
Bye Rush, it doesn’t seem real at all.
Rest in peace, sir.
You’ll be greatly missed.
I wish they could keep airing his shows, even weekly. When Art Bell left his radio show, they played (still do) a show each Saturday night. I know it is not the same as a new episode...
So sad...knew it was coming, but still...
He will be greatly missed. I listened to him since 1996. I first found his TV show.
Kaslin, repost:
...There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013
If you’re a liberal at 25, it means you haven’t been paying taxes, because you live off of other’s toil.
I’ve been Conservative since my first paycheck, at a real job, at 16.
How amazing is that? It's the day famous for its repetition, the day that gets as many do-overs as needed until... you've truly arrived.
Excellence in Broadcasting!
Thank you, Kaslin!
I started listening to Rush in the early 90’s, and listened very regularly, but eventually I stopped listening to him, because I found I liked to listen to Dennis Prager and they occupied the same time slot in my market. But, over the years, I’d tune in to Rush when Prager’s show was boring or a repeat. So, I can’t say that I was a loyal and long time listener, as so many others I know. My husband liked to listen to him.
But, today, my husband ran a brief errand, came home and said, “I have very sad news.” And, he said Rush died this morning. Well, I cried like a baby.
I do think we lost a great voice for conservatism, at a time when we need it more than ever.
Rest in peace, Rush.
32 years for me.
In case you missed them.
As I’ve said on other threads, when I first heard Rush on WABC, he said he would not have guests or do interviews. I just looked at the radio and said “” How are you going to do that, buddy??” Well— it didn’t take long for me to realize that he didn’t need them! All he had to be was —Rush!
An exceptional person. Bless you, Rush, and thank you. ( wiping tears again)
That is where I first heard about Free Republic, from a Freeper that called in to his show and told him who she was.
I logged on that day, after Rush’s show, and lurked for maybe two years, before signing up.
