This is how I found him. I was feeding my son in the middle of the night and he was on the local station at 2am. What a great time that was. He was a patriot. I'll always have fond memories of listening to him.
I worked at an Atlas rocket launch site. The two engineers in the telemetry room would have the radio on and I heard this guy talking about women activists and Feminazis. I was only catching bits and pieces of this guy and I was more concentrating on what I had to do for work. But Rush pissed me off, the little I heard. (I encountered a very chauvinistic work world in the USAF and in the launch business initially and I didn’t understand how the CIA was really pushing the whole women’s movement.)
Fast forward a few years and my husband discovered him and got me listening to him. I attribute some of my now-natural optimism to Rush. He could always find the bright spots and pick me up, even during the Obama years.
My friend and I worked the combi machine line in a Whirlpool warehouse in college. She introduced me to Rush radio. We'd sit punching out appliance pieces into plastic bags and glean all we could from him each shift; then discuss what we'd heard over a Coke on our break.
Thank you for sharing this moving tribute to Rush ,,
I haven’t slept more than a couple hours for the past year ( special needs daughter doesn’t sleep at all which affects her mental health and unfortunately mine )she does alot of loud screaming etc I’ve been a bit down today understanding that this situation with her is affecting my health like big time , and I don’t know what more I can do to help her. My other daughter is a un compassionate lib who was just screaming for me to put her away in a facility. I went to a spare room that’s quiet to lay down for a moment and read your comment and believe it or not it gave me hope and refreshed my soul . What an awesome description “ discussing over a Coke on break “ I could feel your memories !
! Not sure how or why this story helped me , but it did and I thank God as I needed it ;)
The summer of Rush radio and the combi machines was just prior to meeting my now husband at that job. I "feel" the goodness of those college years in the early 90s a lot these days; and I'm glad they helped you in a moment. ::hugs::
Re: your current home/family situation, I'm going to lift up thoughts and prayers on your behalf (for perseverance, wisdom, patience, clear thinking, strength for a new day). As a mom, a woman who's worked with special needs children in a school setting, and a fellow conservative/America First supporter navigating my own trajectory of liberal family and acquaintances...I empathize with your life circumstances right now.
I know you will be the parent you would want for yourself, and the parent that can live with her parental choices made long after her children are no longer under her care. These jewels for our crowns require a lot from us, don't they (?!).
What a blessing you are ,,yes yesterdsy was a tough day for me , honestly one of the toughest in the 30 years thst I raised my daughter alone ! I can’t believe that a comment on GA ( yours) which had nothing to do with my situation brought me such peace and filled my heart with goodness ,God knew what I needed and did it in such a strange way as far as your comment , what a blessing that you met your husband there ! I’m doing better today , I think the constant “ you need to put her in a place “ from my other daughter made things so much worse, my daughter is non compliant she’s not a robot like so many of these children / adults , so they would put her in Gerry chairs and beds ,, straight jackets , and dope her up , I can’t allow that , of course my lib daughter knows more than me and loves to say .. i make the situation worse ,, another words I care too much for her and her needs ! Anyway , thank you again and thank you for the prayers that’s really what we need more than anything !
Btw I just reread your comment, what beautiful well written statements ,, you have a gift with words , tss as Lenten writer not sure if u use that or not ,,, ancc dd yes some jewels do require alot , Jewels is my daughters Name !
The Rush Limbaugh Show, was television's finest hour. I was fortunate enough to be living in Sacramento, when he first kicked off his show, on AM station KFBK. We always made sure to take our lunch break when his show was on. He was truly the first honest, bold conservative to take to the airways. Watching his radio career take off, and go nationwide, made me stand a little straighter, having followed him from the start. Can't wait to see him again.

Oh, how I miss him!
