Dear Rush Limbaugh and His Listeners – January 19, 2021

Dear Rush Limbaugh and his Listeners,

As I’ve written before, I don’t usually listen to the radio when I’m home, but I do when I’m driving. If that drive includes the hours 12 noon to 3:00 p.m., then I turn the dial to hear what you are talking about. That means I listen for 2-10 minutes, max. Since I only drive to get some groceries that means I’m not on the road for very long so there isn’t much time to listen to your show. There’s also the fact that it is impossible for me to listen to your voice for more than a few minutes as you always sound so angry.

I heard a little of what you said today as I drove from Miller Road to just before Stadium, a journey of less than 2 miles. It was enough to hear you warn your listeners with a message they will hear over and over and over again forever. Good grief! If I didn’t know better, I’d be scared to death. Starting tomorrow our country will become a place that your listeners won’t recognize. Our country will change RADICALLY from a place we know to a place we don’t know and don’t want!!!! We will be SOCIALISTS! You also told us that we won’t recognize any of our institutions!!! I didn’t hear any reasons for this change other than the RADICAL DEMOCRATS who hate our country and want to destroy it. I don’t know what you meant by not recognizing any of our institutions but maybe you expanded on that idea later on in the program to explain exactly what will be different. Are you suggesting that the people who have so far been named to head these institutions are all Radicals? Is that because they have great reputations and are people with experience and knowledge or because many of them represent the great diversity of our people and they don’t all look like you?

Then I heard you explain what is meant by “making America great again”. You said something like “when the country was like “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best”. Actually, those aren’t the exact programs you referenced but they were TV shows from the 50’s and 60’s. So, that was the last time America was great? Is that what has been meant for the past 5 years? You do know that sounds pretty sexist and racist. Did you really think that Mr. and Mrs. Cleaver represented the average American family?

The last thing I heard you say was a comment that ALL Democratic politicians ALWAYS say that Martin Luther King, Jr. or JFK or Ted Kennedy inspired them to run for office. Huh? First of all, what’s wrong with being inspired by these people? Second, do you really think that politicians under the age of 60 are looking at people from 50 years ago as their inspirations? Third, so who were the Republican heroes of yesteryear beside Ronald Reagan, who couldn’t get elected today because he had a sense of humor. President Eisenhower would be seen as a radical leftist with his legacy of crazy ideas, like infrastructure, regulating big business and, I don’t know, standing up to the Khrushchev.

Why exactly did you win Medal of Freedom? Let’s talk after the first few months of the next administration and hear what terrible things have happened because Democrats are in office.
