January 1990. NEVER forget it. I was CEO of a small, very successful technology corporation and we had just moved our corp. offices. My top VP, a P.E. with an MBA, & a fantastic conservative, told me I HAD to listen to this conservative guy on the radio.
I NEVER listen to talk radio of any kind, period. I told him I did not like listening to talkers. He kept persuading me until I turned on Rush.
I will never forget it. 5 minutes and I wasn’t just in awe - I was hooked. For the first time in my life I could not turn the radio off! I could not believe I actually listened to some stranger talk for over an hour - and could not wait to hear what he said next.
Next day I became addicted. Began listening daily. Could not wait for Monday’s for Rush to come back. That was 18 1/2 years ago.
Yes, there have been a few times I disagreed with Rush. But not many. I do indeed believe he is a gift from God, and has so influenced our nation - perhaps more than any individual in my life - in the recovery and maintaining of conservative truth. He is fearless with the truth, and probably the most convincing, articulate, and logical voice in our world.
I think without Rush we would not have Trump.....we’d be watching the 2nd 8 years - and probably the final ones- in the destruction of our nation under Hillary.
I truly feared for our nation when he went deaf. I didn’t think we could take the loss. But God, in a sense, raised him from the dead, and gave him back to us.
I cannot thank the Lord enough for this man. Perfect? No. Only the Lord Jesus was perfect. But the most influential man of the last 3 decades.
I trust the Lord to keep him with us for at least another decade.
The Lord knows we need him.
Who else can be a counter-balance to the dominance of the communist media and their Democrat party minions?
1990 or 91 Lived in Ft Lauderdale and drove over to St Pete ti estimate a highway project. Had the radio on and heard this guy talking about Boston banning water pistols. Funniest thing I ever heard. Had to pull off the road I was laughing so hard. Thought it was some local in Tampa. Only next day when talking about it found out who Rush was (from my liberal secretary).
Have often tried to call in to tell Rush he is wrong because he never meets the expectations of this member of his audience because he has never been that funny since. But he is still the greatest.
