"Rest in piss" is trending on Twitter in response to Rush's death.

Remember Twitter has total control over what trends.

We should all know by now the left is generally comprised of genetically defective marxists who are always spiteful towards anyone or anything that is successful and not under their control.

It is not our fault that marxists are born mentally and physically deficient.

Fuck their Twitter trends and fuck that cuckold Jack.

At least it makes more sense than that retarded "rest in power" they trot out whenever they make a new martyr.

In fairness, when John McCain died and when Hillary dies I will have a similar reaction. When people who hate me die, I don't feel obligated to mourn.

RIP to a legend.

Pay attention to what the hateful left says about him.

This is how they truly feel about us.

No need, I already learned more than I ever cared to know about the bottomless depths of their seething hatred from their reaction to Thatcher's death.

As much as I didn't like Thatcher there was practically zero point to celebrating her [physical death] as she'd had dementia for long enough that the person that people didn't like was long gone. She was described in her last days [or weeks, I can't remember what was mentioned] that she spent her time asking for her husband despite the fact he'd died years before.

Under these circumstances the only thing you can tell someone like this is "They will be here later" as telling them the truth will not only hurt them severely in that moment but they won't remember having that conversation and will ask again at some point. Rather than repeatedly subject them to a hurtful truth they will never be able to accept you have to permit them a degree or falsehoods as the alternative will never be anything but pain for them and those they know if they see the consequences.

As may be obvious by that previous statement, I've seen what dementia can do to people. I've seen how the person they used to be disintegrates and you are left with a few different results:

  1. Someone from their earlier life, as was the case with Thatcher and the person I knew, asking for things that may have been decades ago as they don't/can't realize that isn't now. This can result in someone who doesn't remember the closest living relatives they may have by this point despite how significant they may have been to them.

  2. Someone with a complete lack of lucidity to everything around them, unable to recognize anyone meaning they are surrounded by "strangers" and never know where they are. The fear this can instill is pervasive and everlasting as they will never improve.

So to return to my original opening sentence, "as much as I didn't like Thatcher", I wouldn't wish how her final days were on anyone, regardless of what I thought of them. How she was treated after her death was crass and of the many different ways people could have responded to it very few chose a dignified option.

Wasn't a fan but obviously nobody deserves to die of lung caner & he's pretty much the reason conservative talk radio exists at the level it does in the US.

I'd argue Lung Cancer is one of the few cancers people actually 'deserve' to die of in most cases. Obviously there are cases where environmental conditions outside the individual's control cause or exacerbate the cancer, but I believe the vast majority of cases are caused by individuals smoking or otherwise voluntarily inhaling carcinogens (and Rush certainly falls into this group.)

That said, Rush was the voice of American conservatism for many years and we have lost a great man. I'm sure the media will continue to focus on his vices and abrasiveness, but he contributed more to the proliferation of conservatism in the US throughout the 80's, 90's, and into the 00's than any other private citizen.

I must admit that this guy was the reason I got into politics to begin with. By now he was a tad too boomer for my tastes, especially in his positions on Israel and Middle East intervention. Nonetheless, he was a firm social conservative who wasn't afraid to call out feminist and LGBT bullshit, and towards the end he was getting more redpilled on globalism and Covid. And of course dying of lung cancer is terrible. He will be missed.

RIP to the man who helped get the alt-media ball rolling back when the MSM was still unquestionably dominant and its narratives regularly went unchallenged.

I got introduced to Rush's show during a stint I did at a small-press printing company back in '98-99. When I got hired on there I was supposed to be filling a new position of "electronic documents manager", but what I ended up doing for the first two months was scanning documents to be converted to PDF for printing.

They basically stuck me in a room with stacks of banker's boxes full of hard-copy documents, a PC that was hooked to the network, a scanner with a feeder tray, and a fresh copy of Adobe Acrobat, and told me to have at it. I was bored out of my skull until I discovered mid-day talk radio and started following both the G. Gordon Liddy show and Rush Limbaugh who aired right after Liddy. It was during that time I formed a lot of my political opinions, as I recognized Liberalism for the grift that it was, and started to recognize that all politicians are crooks - you're just voting for the least of the worst.

RIP to the man who got taken to task for discussing that the main cause of vehicle accidents in rush hour traffic was women farding in their cars. May his formerly-nicotine-stained fingers always hold the documents of truth.

Agreed. There's absolutely no question that he was a major force for political commentary at a time when the FCC was waging a fucking war against pirate radio. The dude probably changed the political landscape in the long run.

Look at the tweets about rush Limbaugh today and understand that people aren’t being hyperbolic when they say the left wants you dead over your political beliefs.

Really let it sink in. Go read the tweets.

"They want you dead but will settle for your submission." - @michaelmalice

If Michael Malice said this, it would be the dumbest thing he's ever said.

The Left has never yet settled for submission.

I do not mourn the loss of a Conservative icon. I did not know him and as far as I'm concerned Conservatism is simply standing in the way of a proper opposition to the evil of the Left.

Without Rush you wouldn't have the vast proliferation of right wing voices around today. He's the progenitor of the Alex Jones Show and all the "fashy" right-wing podcasters

– Gizortnik 5 points 5 years ago +5 / -0

I agree with that for the most part. It's important for us to remember how right-wing and pirate radio circumvented Leftist control over television, and Rush was big enough to actually make it through the barriers of the FCC.

You must be new here. If you're still desperately hoping that Conservatism is going to save you from the Communists you're basically an NPC.

Name the Jew. Not with animosity, but with fact. Eventually, they'll recoil, and opportunities to roll back their corrupting presence will present itself.

Hart-Cellar destroyed America. Cloward-Piven destroyed America. The Federal Reserve destroyed America.

At this point, I almost wonder if antisemitism is just a super useful weapon to distract people with by the white people who were in positions of power in every one of those efforts. It's basically easily controlled opposition, and it's a strawman you can paint your enemies with.

"Thank god for the antisemites, otherwise I wouldn't be able to poison opposition to these schemes that make me stupidly rich!"

It absolutely is, which is why it needs to be normalized again, and the only way to do that is to show why antisemitism exists. The actions of Jews.

Not really, no. Antisemitism continues to exist because people who are solely focused on one specific group are easy to manipulate to no end. Their actions are predictable beyond measure, and are a wonderful form of controlled opposition.

Mixed feelings. Used to listen to him in high school and even remember catching an episode or two of his TV show back when it aired. LIked that he wasn't PC, and his show was certainly entertaining, didn't like all the water he carried for W Bush and the Iraq war. I suppose I can understand it from the standpoint of not counter-signaling against your friends in the presence of your enemies, but to someone like me who was sympathetic to populist arguments coming from the left back when they still signaled in that direction, Rush-style conservatism didn't offer me much at the time.

That said, I appreciate that he respected his audience enough to publicly support Trump to the extent he did. It's more than I can say of the "conservatives" who show nothing but open contempt for their constituents.
