If you are old enough to have children and are reading this blog, the odds are that at least at sometime in your life, Rush Limbaugh had a tremendous impact on you.
When I was in high school and college I used to listen to Rush all the time during his noon to 3 PM EST time slot on 770AM in New York. After a while of listening to Rush Sean Hannity came along, and well, the rest is history.
Rush was an icon, a man who carved out a niche in radio that no one had ever dreamt possible. He shaped the ideas of the nation for decades.
While I stopped listening to Limbaugh when I got older and became more skeptical about the GOP, those who continued to listen to Rush tell me that he too had the same conclusions.
There are few men and women who I would say had a Barry Goldwater type impact on American politics, but Rush was definitely at the top of that list. The man was an icon, and it’s fitting he be remembered as one…
Fox News reported:
‘Missouri is one step closer to approving “Rush Limbaugh Day” in the state.
The Missouri House of Representatives voted on Thursday to declare Jan. 12, which is the birthday of the late talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, in honor of the conservative icon, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Post-Dispatch reported that the measure must be approved by the state senate “before the end of the legislative session next Friday.
The House vote to approve “Rush Limbaugh Day,” which was led by Republicans, came after a failed effort by Missouri Democrats to mark Jan. 13 “Walter Cronkite Day.”
Limbaugh passed away in February at the age of 70 following a battle with lung cancer. His wife, Kathryn, made the announcement of his death on his radio show.
The longtime radio host learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First Lady Melania Trump presented America’s highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in the House viewing gallery.’
