Rush the Big Voice on the Right

In a recent article in the National Review Rush Limbaugh, the God Father of conservative media recently catalogued how he not only birthed but also nurtured the growth of an alternative voice alongside what he aptly calls the "state-controlled media." I can remember the first time I heard him in 1986. I was so excited to hear someone say what I was thinking. For years I had felt like I was all alone. Outside my wife, a few friends and relatives, I didn't think anyone thought or felt like I did about the slide of our nation and our society from a land of limited government, personal liberty, and economic opportunity into a socialist quagmire. Since it was all I ever heard, I thought the mainstream media was reporting the news and presenting what was the majority opinion.When I heard Rush I immediately knew this wasn't the case and I knew there was someone who was ready, willing and able to champion the conservative philosophy against the avalanche of Progressive propaganda.
