The story of Rush Limbaugh reminds me of a movie you wouldn’t believe could ever happen in real life. Forging his own path against all odds and under constant attack, in the end, the hero triumphs!
I knew about the prominent Limbaugh family before I ever heard of Rush. I clerked for a federal appeals court judge in Kansas City after law school, and every lawyer in the Midwest has heard of the Limbaughs–the Limbaugh judges, the Limbaugh lawyers, the Limbaugh courthouse.
But Rush spurned the law, spurned college and went on radio. He wanted to be on radio, so that’s what he did. He was a conservative, so that’s what he was. Nancy Pelosi Trying to Hush Rush! Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi recently signaled her STRONG SUPPORT for revival of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" - a blatant legislative attempt to SILENCE Rush Limbaugh and ALL conservative talk radio! In fact, Pelosi won't even allow a fair up-or-down vote on legislation (the Broadcaster Freedom Act), sponsored by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-IN), to outlaw the "Fairness Doctrine." But there is good news. To date, 200 Members of Congress have signed a discharge petition to force a vote on Pence's Broadcaster Freedom Act - meaning we are only 18 signatures shy of thwarting Pelosi's efforts to hush Rush! Rep. Pence needs our help! Join us in forcing Pelosi to hold a vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Act today! TAKE ACTION NOW! |
As obvious as it seems now that Rush would be a huge success on radio, it was far from obvious for many years. He was fired repeatedly, until, eventually, his distinctive brand of conservative talk radio that no one believed would work, worked.
When Rush came along, it’s not just that there was no conservative talk radio to speak of. AM radio was dying. And the idea of a national show three hours a day at a time of day when Republicans are at work must have seemed ludicrous to even his friends.
But the moment Rush became a huge success, liberals said he was just in it for the money! Yes, what surer path to fame and fortune than announcing that you are a conservative and taking on the entire mainstream media while being repeatedly fired? Obama's Socialist Roots Exposed! Barack Obama says that lifting the prohibition against offshore drilling will "merely prolong the failed energy policies we have seen from Washington for 30 years." But the reality of the situation is; when President Bush courageously offered to lift the executive ban on offshore drilling, he was, in fact, reversing years of "failed energy policies." So how, in the name of all that is holy, can Barack Hussein Obama declare that reversing 30 years of failed liberal energy policies will "merely prolong the failed energy policies we have seen from Washington for 30 years?" It's a little reminiscent of the famous quote from George Orwell's 1984. "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength." Read the Full Story |
