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.

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.

Loving Rush!

I miss hearing Rush’s voice every day. He was so funny and such an encouragement. I feel sorry for people who never listened to his wisdom and wit. I read “The Way Things Ought To Be” years ago. Listening to his voice on Audible has really helped, especially during these dark days of progressive policies, and sky high inflation, and searching for toilet paper.

I miss you buddy

I am a 27 year listener. Rush agrees with me, but he just says it better than I do.

wonderful trip down memory lane

Rush's opinions are timeless so this book is just as relevant as it was when it first came out. the icing on the cake is that it's narrated by Rush himself.
if any of you ditto heads are jonesing for a few hours of uninterrupted conversation with Rush, you'll love this audiobook. I know I did.
