The irony and unrealized, the Progs/Dims will feel the full weight of their misplaced thinking before those they despise and harsher as well.

And now I like him even more.

Rush is at his best when he dissects a liberal news story just one piece at a time.

Rush is absolutely the best at what he does. He gets to the root or core of most issues with facts as his guide. He was exposing the bias in media long before Donald Trump He uses humor and treats his callers with respect which isn't always the case with talk radio hosts.

Love Rush. He was must listen to radio leading up to the election. I would have it on everyday at work. Don’t really listen much anymore but I need to get back into it

Rush presented a damn scary point last night. What kind of condition would this country be in if Hillary had actually won. None of these lowlifes like Strzok, Comey, McCabe, etc would be held to any kind of justice...they would be running shite, instead. No tax cuts, no energized conservatism, no conservative justices...very very scary

Rush was good 25 years ago. He's unlistenable now.

Mark Twain, George Carlin. They were both good at it in their own way.

Rush is the one person the Obama administration feared the most. He alone may have saved the entire nation from allowing Obama to fundamentally change us forever

I like Rush, I enjoyed his show for a long time. I've even played golf with his brother and have enjoyed a cigar with the man himself. Great guy irl.


The thing is, it's a show, it's not real, he created the conservative media platform and made a killing doing it, and the left responded. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Etc. would actually report the fricking news if not for him. So would Fox.

I won't argue that he is a blowhard and a douche, because he is

but he is very intelligent and makes astute observations

That is not even remotely true. Unless you think Rush is responsible for media bias during the Reagan years.

Well on one hand, outsourcing is a defensible position from a conservative POV if it is profitable, but on the other hand, it shouldn’t be.


The issue was chasing profits over the sovereignty of the US economy. When you give a communist country your industrial/manufacturing base you're setting your country up for the BS we're dealing with today.

I'm still waiting for indictments and orange jumpsuits....., we should not let this past 3 years go without some Swampers going to prison.

His major strength is critique of media. I have always held the position: 'If it's in the newspapers start with the assumption that it's a lie.'

Rush was the first national commentator I heard express the same view.

Yes and the fault may, likely does, Lie with the Govt when it enables outsourcing rather than disincentivising it.
