Stay well Rush

Over the Christmas holidays my conservative hero was hospitalized with chest pains. I have been listening to Rush since 1992. He has been a part of my Monday-Friday, noon to 3 routine for about 18 years. Almost one third of my life. The very thought of this patriot going the way of all men distressed me greatly. Not at a time when his voice is needed most. Sounds selfish I guess. But without sounding like a stalker or an obsessed fan, I feel like I know the guy. Like he is a friend of mine. His passing would feel like the loss of a valued compatriot.

Other than suffering the continual onslaught of the hate filled barbs of those who despise freedom itself(read liberals, progressives, limp-wristed RINO's) he has overcome his own personal health problems and demons. He is a man of integrity, wisdom and good humor.

At last report he has be released with no discernable heart issues. Giving credit to the care that he had received and a testament to the US healthcare system. One wonders what kind of medical attention he might have gotten from a government run healthcare system. Especially a system run by a government that is hostile to people who speak out against it's policies.

So for now, the new year is starting well. I look forward to Monday when those that give voice to my concerns and beliefs take to the airwaves. First Glenn. Later Sean. But right in the middle the man, the pioneer, the MahaRushi. Or as his late mother used to called him, Rusty.

  2. Glad to hear that El Rushbo is on the mend. Hope to hear him soon behind the golden EIB microphone. Rush, ease up on the cigars.
