A beautiful tribute worth every second. Read Mark Steyn HERE:
…”the Big Voice on the Right, the largest obstacle to the complete marginalization of conservative ideas in our culture. All those of us who labored in his shadows owe it to him to continue the fight.”
~ Mark Steyn
Yes they really “broke the mold” after this guy. Rest In Peace, old friend.
I suspect that there have been intense discussions over the past year concerning the future of EIB, with Rush fully involved. We’ll just have to see what they have come up with. Rush didn’t put this 600+ station network together overnight; I don’t believe they would just let it go away…especially now.
I hope mark is the one to carry the mantle for Rush.
He’s very funny and is very quick witted with side of sarcasm.
God speed Rush, I really feel I’ve lost such a great friend.
Prayers for the Limbaugh family and friends today.
See you on the other side sir.
Before there was any of this, there was Rush.
Godspeed, MahaRushie.
Great article! I did not realize Steyn had been sub hosting that long!
A great tribute.
Clearly, Rush’s “Talent on loan from God” falls in line with the parable of the talents found in Matt 25:14. He was loaned talents and he returned them doubled to his Master. The Master now welcomes Rush into “the joy of your Lord.”
A dear friend has passed. Let us now carry on with his insights and inspirations that he left for each of us.
God Bless you, Rush Limbaugh!
We lost our bestest friend, our consoler, counselor and teacher. Stay strong, stay together!
The left of course can’t hide its glee nor their venom today. CNBC referred to Rush as an “incendiary” radio talk show host. The NY Slimes called him talk radio’s provocateur and on countless lefty blogs people were posting their hate for Rush. Rush would not want us to dwell on these people. They truly are lost in the mind and in spirit. The fact that he still lives rent free in their heads even in death shows that even the left knows the impact Rush left on this country. RIP Rush!
Rush would be flattered. Here is what he said about the left’s hateful venom when Breitbart passed.
“Rush Limbaugh eulogized Andrew Breitbart, who said of the impotent, no-account Twitter Addicts celebrating his death: “Leftists are filled with an unspeakable, vicious glee today, but Brietbart would have loved to read them for they show the impact he had.”
Of course this applies now to Rush.
The louder they scream, the nastier they are, the more it shows just how much and how long Rush has lived in their heads rent free.
Oh! and BTW. The accommodations inside their heads are very spacious. Plenty of room in there for Rush’s successor to live there too.
I choked up at his send off. Talent returned to God. No commentary necessary!
Until we meet again, my friend!
Good God, what else can go south now? I’ve tuned completely out and now this. Think I’ll remain un-tuned for a while..Wtf is this pos trying to spit?
“ It is a bane on our existence. It has always been as Lincoln said we have to you appear to a battle angels these guys are not and women they are in fact demented. They are dangerous people.”
God bless everyone… I can’t take the stupid….
That’s bite me… sorry.
I thank God that I got to listen to the voice of Rush Limbaugh for so much of my own life. God blesses us with people like Rush only once. I am sure God has now welcomed Rush to be among the immortals. You did well, Rushmo.
I had a very large mea culpa moment today. I felt it was very necessary to send a former partner an “I’m sorry” about how I dissed them and fought with that partner about their listening to Rush Limbaugh, who by the way made sure to taunt me with him. “But I was so much older then. I’m younger than that now.” RIP Rush. It’s funny I don’t think of the RIGHT in the political sense anymore. It’s just the right stuff.
I started to listen in 1992 on a bet from a lefty friend who said how vile he was. Thought I’d listen for a bit, see for myself.
Discovered I had a skull full of mush, despite “education”, high IQ, etc.
Rush educated me, taught me clear thinking, and made me laugh.
I will so miss him.
His body has now assumed room temperature but the fire he started will continue to burn as his soul lives on in millions of hearts that long for liberty,, decency, and all the principles the founders realized must be sustained to realize the promise of the true greatness of America! .
I will be passing on a part of his legacy to my youngest Grandchild. She turned six in January but is an avid reader who’s reading and comprehension is well above her grade. So her next Christmas present from me will be the complete set of American History books written for Children that Rush published. I am sure she will Love Liberty the horse and the stories.
Mark Steyn has a remarkable command of the language. The last sentence in his tribute will stay with me. “Talent Returned To God” So true.
Thanks Rush, for decades of riding shotgun as companion, co-pilot, and mentor.
I tried to get my text to speech voice reader to do this in the same accent as Mark, but alas, no cigar. The female voice didn’t quite cut it either.
Thank You Mark, for your stellar service to Rush, his family and team! Thank you for your wit and humor and salemanship. I always figured when Mark was subbing they probbaby got a lot of new Rush members because he always sold everyone on the full package.
I am a better person for listening to Rush for 30 years, thanks God for loaning him to us.
You know what gives me a measure of comfort, despite the fact Rush is now gone?
It is that now, there are 35 million Rush listeners who are now carrying his torch. They’re officially no longer listeners. They’re doers. This is no longer a passive crowd of learners. This is, as of now, Rush’s Army, more powerful than anything that walks this Nation.
Been trying to figure out why RUSH passing has left such a hole in my heart….and it dawned on me that he truly cant be replaced. There truly isnt a backfill. NO PLAN B…No PROTEGE…this is a spiritual war, no doubt. FAITH is our only option…
