Rush Limbaugh was one of the most interesting figures of the last half-century. He could personally take credit for millions of people becoming conservative. He was a legend, an icon, and he will be greatly missed. Just to cite how clearly he could state the conservative position, here are a few of Rush’s greatest quotes.
- “Let me tell you who we conservatives are: we love people. When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don’t see groups. We don’t see victims.”
- “The world’s biggest problem is the unequal distribution of capitalism. If there were capitalism everywhere, you wouldn’t have food shortages.”
- “Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth.”
- “You know why there’s a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.”
- And my personal favorite: “For government to give, it must first take away.”
Limbaugh died on February 17, 2021, at the age of 70. His death was attributed to complications of lung cancer, which he had battled since being diagnosed in January, 2020.
