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.

Truly Awesome

In an error of cancel culture and unbridled socialism, it is refreshing to hear the words of one of the United States greatest defenders. Rush leaves the listener either questioning current standards or more affirmed in their understanding and beliefs in the greatness of the USA and how important it is to defend it.

It was a fun trip down memory lane.

I loved the book, even though it was an abridged version. It was a fun trip back from the early days of Rush's career taking off.

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!

“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.
