    I love it when people feel the need to spout off about that which they know nothing about. Here’s my daily lesson……if someone is on your ignore list…..keep them there.

    Rush and Stern are nothing alike - Rush was NOT a shock jock
    Did I agree with him 100% of course not - but normally Rush was right

    He was a shock jock. He was all about entertainment by painting others as "Them." His audience was less pagan and prided itself on a moral high ground, but his schtick was still shock jock. He was a tiresome radio host.

    Did he use entertainment? Of course
    But he also gave out a lot of valuable information.

    He polarized people. He dehumanized his opponents. There is no value in that

    Think what you like -
    but some 20 + million people listen to his show each week
    that would be a bit over 10% of all adults in the USA.

    Travis and Sexton - the current hosts of the EIB network - are averaging about 10 million listeners per week..

    Sean Hannity is # 1 at about 16 million per week.

    'Bloviators bloviate'. Maybe 'the daily lesson' is simply a reminder of that fact.

    I know he was popular. I know he polarized America. I know that many Christians spent more time with Rush than they spent with God. I know that many Christians started seeing their future through politics instead of through Christ alone.
    Rush was a shock jock who shocked 20 million people into following politics over Christ.

    I loved listening to Rush. I still miss him from time to time. He was always right on point on what the next step for the Commie and Anti-God Left was. I can remember in college a few years back going back to my dorm at noon to make myself a tuna sandwich and cranking up Rush's opening monologue. I never called into his show, but I did call into Levin's once.

    Ultimately I hope he knew the Lord. I recall listening to one program where he mentioned how he didn't have much time left, and that he felt at peace with the Lord. I hope he knew Him.

    It’s been a couple of years. Stage 4 lung cancer.

    I read somewhere his widow is a direct descendant of John Adams, if memory serves.

    He loved radio and really revolutionized the talk radio format. I think his show was the first to go nationwide.

    He was funny, at times crude, always informative and entertaining.

    He had a lot of really good discernment about political issues in real time.

    In a lot of ways, he was similar to Trump, especially in calling out media bias and pop culture craziness.

    peace to you

    Not offended. Just don't care for it. I write my own music, and put it on my computer to play back, and make mp3's so I can listen in my car.
