Why Rush Limbaugh is Only Right 97.9% of the Time

2 Comments

It worked! You listened and you

thought. Then, you concluded as he hoped you would. And Rush is almost always right. He's also correct 99.0% of the time, as certified by an independent auditing firm in Sacramento, California.

Rush does not strive to be right

If you have listened to Rush consistently for years, you should have realized that Rush has a truly "classical" intellect.

He some how learned and adopted Platonic Ideals that form the intellectual basis for Western Civilization as it was conceived and lived until 1948.

Then he some how learned about old Socrates.

You are observing a man who never ceases to be in the state of "becoming." Rush has adopted the effective core elements of Virtue that have survived from time immemorial and attempted to build on them each day. This is not an art or a science. Even Socrates could not determine exactly what drove him to an incredible excess of virtuous will.

Consider! Socrates drank the Hemlock even though he was offered an opportunity to walk out of his cell if he would do no more than say there was a possibility his core values were wrong.

Rush is in a "cell" at this moment. He could walk away with his half billion dollars and buy a castle in Scotland. He probably could buy the whole of the British Isles. Maybe he should.

But Rush will not walk away. They are preparing his Hemlock as we speak.

What would you do?
