The big thing that people have to remember, in this internet era, is that aside from National Review the magazine, the Rush Limbaugh show going coast-to-coast in the 1980s was the ONLY guy out there relentlessly mocking liberals and expressing classical conservative ideas. He saved AM radio single-handedly, and converted millions to conservativism through his show. He was a rain that watered countless flowers to grow.

No, unlike people on this board he was not a fascist, or an an-cap, or whatever projections that wanted him to be. He was tepid on the Republican party, trying to make them stand up and not compromise, but bullish on conservative principles.
