 An Agenda Piece Against the Left Wing, 2008-08-25
Limbaugh presents a second case for Conservatism that follows earlier work "The Way Things Ought to Be". This book serves little purpose in view of the depth he covered on Right Wing issues in the first book and considering his seemingly greater interest in attacking the Left.
Limbaugh arouses emotion with ease with his polarizing approach and seems to enjoy pointing out inconsistencies with Left Wing policies and speeches; particularly those of Bill Clinton. For those who share this agenda, Limbaugh will fill your needs especially with his amusing list of conflicting quotations from the Left; however, one need not look far to discover the irony that a long list could also be derived on Limbaugh from his own radio show.
While I do not agree with the entirety of Limbaugh's views, there are selected views that he defends admirably. However, his polarizing attitude combined with his attacking agenda leave this book lacking, something that was not as apparent in his first book.

 An excellent book, 2007-08-21
A permanent place in my shelves. I brought a copy of this with me during the Clinton Wars when I ended up in Operation Desert Fox. A classic book that only someone without a sense of humor couldn't appreciate.

Liberals they live to lie, 2007-04-27
These liberal hate filled "reviewers" give me a laugh, har har, that's me guffawing. They just can't help lying, they even have to start their diatribes of hate with an immediate lie, they say, "I'm a conservative but I think blah blah hate hate about Rush" I can smell a liberal 10 miles off. Do they really think everyone's as stupid as they are? Got news for ya, you ain't foolin' no one. Your typical hate filled messages are recognizable immediately as only coming from the loony left. Now that I've put you liberal reviewers here in your place, I shall now proceed to my pearls of wisdom on this wonderful and enlightening book that every man woman and child should cherish.
Yes, it's another Masterpiece from the Mastermind and the reflector of all right thinking truly decent Americans, Rush. Rush speaks for all good and right thinking people, he reflects our thoughts and what we already know is right and wrong, but Rush goes one better, he is great for rubbing the liberal liars noses in their own excrement. Liberal liars don't stand a chance with their scheming lies and communist attempts to take over the courts because they can't win an election. Liberal liars, bow your head to greatness that is me and all others just like Rush, Rush will be every liberal's new hero, because in your heart, you know he's right. Now, liberals, read Rush's book over and over and admit your real goal, to destroy America and freedom. We won't let it happen. Liberals and elkayda, oh, that's not how you spell it? I DON'T CARE! Liberals and ekayda are one, and they will be defeated. And a good start to their destruction is all people worldwide reading the wonderful wise words of that lovable little fuzzball, Rush. And that's the final word. Thank you and good riddance to liberals.

 He Told Me Nothing I Already Knew, 2006-09-30
As with all my reviews, I just want to focus on the veterans issue. Like many right-wing war lovers, Rush never served. This shows.
Rush gives a totally ridiculous analogy about why men fight on page 15. After stating this idiocy, he concludes, "[e]verybody does what he is ordered to do because that is the nature of the military." And where did you get that idea, pray tell? I and others did what we had to do because we WANTED to do it. We had pride in service and pride in being elite. I wasn't a paratrooper and jumped out of planes because somebody told me to.
It is odd that Rush would refer to Representative Ron Dellums as "a former draft dodger." You have to turn to page 253 to see where I get mad about this guy. Regarding WWII, Rush states, "[y]oung men lied about their age, ignored medical and physical disqualifications, and abandoned their livelihoods in order to join the services." It is well known how Rush parlayed a correctable anal cyst into 4-F status to stay out of the military and Vietnam. I myself was also deemed 4-F, but obtained a waiver regarding my own physical disability, which was not correctable through simple surgery. Rush speaks of ironies on this about supposed Democrats, saying they would turn into "chicken hawks" (page 258) at the "first sign of trouble." Well, buddy, that was you on Vietnam. On that same page, he talks about Vietnam--the war I was in as a volunteer and he "volunteered" to stay out of.
Rush again forgets to look in the mirror after stating, on page 259, that the military has "unique requirements...no matter whose feelings get hurt, including heterosexual men who can't meet the physical or ment requirements." Since you did not meet the physical requirements (but could have with one short doctor visit), do you feel hurt, Mr. Limbaugh?
It also makes no sense, except in the context of people too cowardly or self-absorbed, his statement, "[r]ecruitment is down...and the intelligence level of those enlisting is lower." The easiest way to correct that problem is for all these right-wingers to go down and sign up. I really start to burn at the end of page 261. Check this out. "Most of us are so detached, so smug, and so far removed from the battlefields where our fathers fought...we cannot beging to empathize with them." Hey, my dad, granddad and me all got our OWN battlefields. He wags a finger at the reader with, "[d]on't ever forget the WWII generation, nor abandon the cause for which it sacrificed." Oh, puleeze, Rush, what about Korea and Vietnam? Got a problem with those of us who sacrificed fighting communism?
Rush reminds me of another fat windbag and draft dodger strutting around, making other men go out to do what he didn't have the guts to do himself: Benito Mussolini.

 Ex-Lax In Broadcasting. Beat The Rush, 2006-04-25
This is Judith Regan's good sequel to Judith Regan's bad blockbuster, aka "Rush Limbaugh's First Book." Both books, paste-ups of Rush monologues, have the same problem as Rush monologues, pointless prolixity. Judith should have cut things down to a solid fifteen or twenty pages in the manner of Rush cutting down hours of prattle into broadcast brilliance, his morning updates, radio's best 1.5 minutes.
I've been with the Majority Maker off and on since cowgirl Hillary Clinton's cattle futures. It's been a long strange trip: This (Socks) is the Clinton cat, this (Chelsea) is the Clinton dog. No Boundaries Ties. The Lovely & Gracious Marta's psychopathological bump tunes, coincident with the Majority Maker's bad mood after he made the Republican majority in 1994. The rush to impeachment. The rush to war. The assurance that Hillary wouldn't lower herself to run for the Senate. The assurance that Hillary, running for the Senate, wouldn't win. The c. 45 monologue minutes during which Rush conflated John Kerry with Bob Kerrey. The Eagles & McNab. The dope fiend. The schlub.
But things are now getting so wierd that it's time for Hunter Thompson to come back & take over. Last week Rush boosted Bush by saying that Congress is even more despised than Bush. That would be the, uh, Republican Congress whose majority, spending like drunken Democrats, was made by Rush in 1994. Or so they say.
Then he gave Bush's failed presidency the ultimate attaboy: This administration, said Rush, is even more diverse than Clinton's. Quincy Bush is totally in the tank, but Congress is even worse, and none of it matters because we Republicans are multiculturalists.
My party 'tis of thee, a rainbow of diversity. And multiculturalism. Ponder the irony, my friends, while reading See I Told You So, a quaint artifact from the dead-as-Ronbo Republican Revolution.
