Nobody is hanging onto anything. We are rightly remembering the greatness of a hero.

So beat it.

True ultimately, but all movements, as even Lenin noted when he refuted Communism without knowing it, said that all movements are led by (individual) men.

Look, for example, at the "Yellow Vest" movement in France. Leaderless, it has been going on for a year and done nothing.

Reminds me of the feeling you get when your last parent dies (this happened to me in my 30s), and you realize that in your family *you* are now the older, supposedly wiser person on whom many things rest and rely. Well, Larry, it's you now, for which I'm grateful.

I don’t think things would be different but a guy I loved, that I grew up in politics with would be here to hold my hands from the radio every day and make me feel a little better at the end of 3 hours about it all.

Thank you for posting this message from Rush. I miss him greatly.

I so very much miss Rush. He gave me hope and made me laugh. He reminds us that you never really know what you have until you aint got it no more. Godbless Rush. What a truly great man. He felt like good family to me since I was a little pup.

What Rush would have done is magnify the FBI's illegal twitter activity to the point that even the mainstream corporate media couldn't have simply ignored it like they're doing now. Rush reached so many people that he completely overshadowed corporate media complicity. Sadly, today we have no one with that reach.....although Elon is trying.

Forgot to mention the fact that Limbaugh was a raging misogynist. I guess if you love to hate women, you love Rush. For Trump to give the medal of honor to such a pig as Rush, sullies rightful recipients of the award up to now. Like Trump, Limbaugh was a garden-variety hater, and addict.

Rush was a racist, divisive, lying, aggrieved, dinosauer of a freak.

The world is infinitely better off without him.

I miss Rush so much, I'm going back and listening to archived shows. His calm, sober optimism is so sorely missed. For 30 years I knew I could always get the unvarnished truth from Rush! NO ONE else comes close to Rush!

Hanging on to dead people vs moving an agenda forward is why GOP voters fail.

We are Bonnie Tyler Holding out for a Hero, instead of training to become that hero in our local life.

Rush failed to conserve anything, but we genuflect and remember him as our freedoms are surgically removed.
