Great article, great post. The world is better to have had Rush Limbaugh around, and I do hope Jim Acosta is reading this.

Rush was one of the first voices that was saying what the average American believed. He was the one that allowed “fly-over” country not to be intimidated by the coastal media-bureaucrat complex.

I love watching liberal heads explode every day. To be honest, if it weren’t for Rush, I wouldn’t know CNN and MSNBC exist.

Bump for a man who is, in my humble opinion, a NATIONAL TREASURE!

Treasure, indeed. Rush and the American Spectator kept me from losing my sanity when Bonnie and Clyde Clinton moved into the White House.

The one who shines the light, is the one who makes the cockroaches scurry for cover.

Many years ago when he had the 900 line, I commented how we finally had someone who could talk back to the liberals who dominated TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. I am grateful to Rush for all he has done for this great nation.

Rush realized that “fly-over country” was being maligned because he was a product of fly-over country. What satisfaction that gives me to know that a boy from Missouri is so much smarter than they are.

I found Rush on his tv show. Dont remember the year. It was a wow moment.

Finally, someone on tv that thought like me. Rush is my dittohead.

Thirty years ago, while other conservatives apologized, Rush Limbaugh pushed back. Mount Rushmore material, if you ask me.

It occurred to me last week how ubiquitous the term “MSM” is... mainstream media. And how long has it been around with no one asking why it’s called MSM?

I’m fairly confident in saying Rush coined that and flipped it out to the world for use probably stemming from the super sycophantic Clinton media ummm....1992.

The funniest thing I ever heard Rush talk about had nothing to do with politics. It was him recalling his days in Jr. High School and his antics in Metal Shop. I remember how he couldn’t stop laughing as he went on about it.

“Drive-by media”, another famous Rushism,
has entered the national lexicon as well...

I remember how my spirits plunged ten years ago when he was rushed to the hospital in Hawaii with chest pains and I thought, no, no, we need to keep this guy around, and I was so glad when it turned out to be nothing important.
