Publisher's summary

Rush Limbaugh is a way of life for over twelve million avid and devoted listeners. For three hours every day this comic conservative of the airwaves with "talent on loan from God" entertains, provokes and persuades friend sand enemies alike in a no-holds-barred show that is one of the biggest draws in radio history.

Using personal anecdotes, Limbaugh now reveals the major influences on his life and views, and blasts off on all the leading issues of our day. Nothing escapes his acerbic wit and huggable charm as he proves why he is on the cutting edge of societal evolution and the epitome of morality and virtue. Here he holds forth on such subjects as: Anita Hill, the homeless fraud, the media and many others.

Tackling the hottest topics of the times from Feminazis to Environmentalist Wackos, Rush Limbaugh is at his satirical best - the provocative conservative and the showman who is "documented to be almost always right 97.9% of the time" about The Way Things Ought To Be.

A little old but worth the read

God bless Rush to give the alternate view in a positive way.

Voice of the Heartland

As a Democrat turned right by Ronald Reagan, I thank goodness for Rush. He keeps the flame alive. In this book he speaks for Middle America with singular intellect, insight, and clarity. The book is a treasure.

Great read even today!

Conservatism does not change. And did it hear the words 'make America great again'? Glad I listened

Rush is always the best cheerleader for conservative thought and beliefs. His reading this book only serves to make it more enjoyable

Rest in Peace

Rush’s words are truly timeless wisdom - even after his passing, his commentaries still ring true, his arguments are still accurate and relevant, and American fears are assuaged by his wit and classic “Don’t be worried, do be vigilant” philosophy. Rest in Peace.

Great Auido Book

I love Rush Limbaugh, and have the both the book and audio cassette versions of this. I enjoy this book very much, but am very dissapointed that the Audible version cannot be saved on MP3 format on my cellphone. I'd like to transfer the book to my laptop and even burn it to CD. Since I can't do this I will not purchase any more Audible books. When I've purchased CDs from you I have the songs in MP3 format. I assumed Audible books would be like that as well. No more Audible books for me until I can have them in MP3 format.
