MEDIA JACKALS GNASH TEETH AFTER LIMBAUGH AWARD

    The Whacko Left Wing has had a hard beginning to 2020. Their last attempt to steal the 2016 Election failed in the US Senate and the first primary for the Democratic Party has blown up in their faces. It's getting so people's reaction to news about the Democrats is like the reaction to news about ISIS. "Are they still around?" Just five years ago, both the Democrats and the Caliphate looked like unstoppable enemies of our Civilization. Today, they're both leaderless and irrelevant. 

   The President's State of the Union Address yesterday has become the lightning-rod for all of the Left's frustrations. There was really nothing especially extraordinary about the speech itself. The President did what presidents typically do at this event: chronicle their successes, make some new promises, recognize some prominent Americans, then have a big dinner-party afterwards. One could see, though, from the grimaces on House Speaker Pelosi's face, that she was straining all of her mental and physical resources to restrain a TDS attack. My suspicion is that this restraint was heavily reinforced with Barbiturates. Whether it was or not, I'd have hated to be anywhere near her after the speech. Democrats certainly don't want a repeat of of the 2018 SOTU embarrassment. One of her guests, however, did have a TDS breakdown and had to be removed from the Gallery. 

   During the speech, Trump awarded long-time Conservative pundit and radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In the interests of full disclosure, I haven't listened to Limbaugh in a long time, though I was a regular listener during the 1990's. Back in the 90's, there were actual attempts to censor Conservative voices; and not like the relatively tame 'deplatforming' or 'demonetizing' of today. There were literally laws being proposed to shut down talk-radio back then. Bush's 2000 win ended these attempts as did improvements in the Internet which made radio less influential. But it's indicative of the kinds of obstacles that Limbaugh had to overcome. 

   I recall in 1993, Limbaugh was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame and nasty MSM Feminist Sally Jessie Raphael---who was MC of the event---publicly stated her opposition to awarding Limbaugh right during the ceremony. Now, 27 years later, the MSM was forced to gnaw their tongues in rage from the sidelines while Rush received the highest American civilian honor. 

  It must be remembered that Limbaugh did this while battling an Opioid addiction and degenerative deafness. Another incident that I recall from 2001---when Limbaugh announced he'd gone deaf---a medical writer (whose name I don't remember) expressed his admiration that Rush continued on the radio. "As a doctor, I would have advised him to give up radio. It's remarkable that he can function in that capacity any more at all; and he should really be a national role model for the Hearing-Impaired." Technology has since developed hearing devices which allow him to hear again. 

  Two weeks ago, Rush was diagnosed with advanced Lung Cancer. And his radio broadcast still goes on. Limbaugh is now 69 years old and seems determined to die doing what he loves. And you can't help but admire a man like that.

  In 1992 and 1993, Limbaugh wrote two books on national politics which, although considerably dated today, made the New York Times Bestseller List for a combined 24 weeks---and this was in spite of the Times engaging in what we now call shadow-banning. Limbaugh's fans put pressure on the Times to admit to Limbaugh's Best-Seller status. Limbaugh didn't write another political book; but in 2013 began the Rush Revere children's book series---which if I recall, is up to five volumes. The first won an award from the Children's Book Council: quite an achievement considering that the CBC is not the most Conservative-friendly organization, to say the least. Limbaugh has become extremely wealthy through these endeavors and gives to the community extensively. 

  I haven't always agreed with Rush Limbaugh; but he's done more for America than all of the MSM hyenas who hate him combined. What Limbaugh's greatest contribution was, in my opinion, to give Conservatives a platform and to raise our collective spirits and activism at a time when we felt utterly defeated. In 1992, there weren't any blogs of any significance and certainly no vlogging. Aside from a few editors in newspapers and a subscription to The National Review the entire national discourse was dominated by a very Liberal Corporate Media which was preaching that Reaganism was dead and that the Clinton Machine was paving the way to the 'New America.' Limbaugh's success inspired his producer, Roger Ailes, to launch the Fox News Network---which, in the 1990's was much more Conservative than it is today. 

  So did Rush Limbaugh really deserve the award? I answer yes. He singlehandedly took on the Corporate Media---at a time when it looked invincible---and opened the way for freedom of speech through alternative means. If it hadn't been for his influence---against terrific odds---the Left likely would have never had any meaningful opposition for the last three decades. Whatever Limbaugh's future holds for him, we'll always regard him as a true Freedom Fighter who made a real difference and benefited us all.
