Rush Limbaugh's first book

Gino Frobel
    Rush Limbaugh started in radio three decades or so ago in the Midwest and should of stayed that way working for some outlet in Omaha. However in 1988 The Reagan years were coming to an end and right wing corporate Republicans were concerned their free market revolution was coming to an end. They made a fortune and now were going to invest in the media that they saw as all liberal and that year Rush Limbaugh hit the airwaves in a nationally syndicated talk show. Now mind you no one listened to the radio in 1988 as it was thirty years after television destroyed that but somehow they made this ugly shithead into some sort of important media guy claiming he had a large national audience.  some of these early Limbaugh years and his faked popularity is recapped in one of Rush's first books " The Way Things Ought to be". I read this book and it as only interesting in the fact that it was the first few years this numbskull hit it big time. few liberals thought this guy would still be relevant in this day in age but this has to do more with how national media has expanded than any real following this joker can claim. He has managed advertising dollars cause he speaks for everything big business wants to hear politically. They needed a man to speak the racist conservative anti-tax demands that would hit the pocket books of rich Americans and the corporations they run and keep to themselves. Rush is one asshole who should of disappeared like Ronald Reagan but whose health has somehow not been affected by his obviously decadent unhealthy lifestyle. I have a feeling it will catch up to him and the jackass will drop dead soon.
     Rush spends alot of time talking about abortion and it is funny it is always guys that look like him who want to tell people with the completely opposite type of body what they can do with it. This book is mostly about eighties issues that were huge from homeless, aids, animal, rights, welfare, and sexual harassment. Gay marriage was not even considered and Islamic terrorism had yet to be a real issue. These were the good days for Rush Limbaugh had much
more power than they do now. Most of these leading issues of the day have proven guys like Limbaugh
wrong whether its on the environment or peoples views on abortion. Rush Limbaugh back in 1992 
was just as wrong, boring, lame, and dumb as the Rush Limbaugh we know in 2014. This is a voice
that cannot be around for too much longer and hopefully one day soon we will look back at how this
jerk was even ever relevant.
