On this day in 2021, America lost a great man: the Mayor of Realville
and Americas Anchorman, the great Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh was more than a radio announcer or show host. He was a
unique American genius, a patriot who inspired millions. From his one-line
zingers For government to give, it must first take away to his
thoughtful monologues, Rush was incomparable. He created a new generation
of conservatives and set the gold standard for conservative talk media.
Yet, despite his massive fame and popularity, there was nothing elitist or
unapproachable about Rush; many of his listeners, including those who
never met him, thought of him as their friend.
The college dropout turned radio and TV sensation, the show host honored
by presidents and intellectual giants, the All-Seeing, All-Knowing, All-
Everything Maha Rushie, who took on the left with half my brain tied
behind my back to make it fair. America tuned in daily to hear his jokes,
his critiques, his political observations, his predictions and analyses.
As he put it, he had talent on loan from God.
I was raised on Rush Limbaugh. My siblings and I memorized his parodies
and eagerly awaited the monthly Limbaugh Letter. As we drove to church or
activities, my parents tuned into Rush. He shaped my political views and
helped inspire me to go into journalism.
Rushs sense of humor helped him and his listeners get through the hard
times. Bigot: A person who wins an argument with a liberal, he declared.
And he loved to rib the left. I am the Doctor of Democracy. I am
Americas Truth Detector. And as the Doctor of Democracy, the deal you
have with your doctor isnt changing. You get to keep your doctor. You get
to keep your plan. You get to keep your station. Nothings changing, and
it really never was gonna change, Rush announced, making fun of Obamas
false claims about Obamacare.
But we stayed for his common sense and wisdom. Morality is not defined
and cannot be defined by individual choice, Rush told us. Liberals
measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives
measure compassion by how many people no longer need it. And No nation
has ever taxed itself into prosperity. When he observed that nobody else
does what I do, he was right; there are other very good show hosts, but
no one quite like Rush.
Rush Limbaugh fully deserved the Medal of Freedom he received from Donald
Trump. He gave hope to several generations, reminded conservatives we
werent crazy, helped us deal with the presents problems and plan for the
future. El Rushbo was a great American, and he will always be greatly
missed.
