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.

Well said!

I love that Rush recorded this book himself. Hearing him deliver the content in his unique style was fantastic! It was interesting to hear Rush discuss situations that occurred over twenty years ago. I was able to see how some of these movements have progressed, and how the guilt and shaming tactic are still used today. I loved this book!

Greatest of All Time

“Talent on loan from God.” We knew one day you had to give it back, still too soon. RIP Rush!

In 2023 it is still relevant

Great for an introduction in the course for advanced conservative studies 👏 This is an abridged edition but covers all the points of the book.

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.

As Relevant Today as When It was Written

This book is vitally important today because what Rush always taught were principles. Principles last throughout history. Rush was right, is right, and is missed. It is time for us to pick up the baton from him and run the race to victory lane.

Great read for conservatives!

Loved it, as Limbaugh himself does not give opinions but actually states facts! He does not get emotional and he is not afraid of putting liberals in their place. Yet he does not insult or mock in the slightest bit.

I miss Rush on the radio, and downloaded the book to hear his voice...i was pleasantly surprised by how so much of it is still true today...he was ahead of his time.
