G-d has called in his loan to Rush Limbaugh, giant of free speech in America. If you are liberal, and you are still able to speak; thank Rush.
Rush was a Rightist. Not as far Right as is being caricatured, and not always as right as some of his fans might claim; but he shored up the Right side of the dialogue in America and, by extension, in the West. As long as he was out there, all the "intellectual dark webbers" were free to denounce him whilst they continued to ply their trade to the immediate left of him.
The Limbaugh family isn't Catholic and I don't think Rush died in communion with the Saints. However I also do not recall that the man ever badmouthed the institution of the Church. (I am sure Rush occasionally commented about the foibles of certain of the flawed men running the place, as was his right and - in certain points - his duty.) Again: as long as Rush was free to speak, public Catholics were free to stake out their positions in public, even denouncing him in places.
We are all the lesser for not having Rush anymore. May G-d bless and keep Rush Limbaugh. May He shine his face upon him and grant him peace.
