American radio host and conservative political commentator.
His nationally-syndicated talk show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, airs throughout the world on Premiere Radio Networks. He has been credited with reviving AM radio in the United States, and is considered to have been a "kind of national precinct captain" for the Republican Party's Congressional victories in 1994.
National Review magazine, in a 1993 cover story, called him "The Leader of the Opposition" during the Clinton presidency. A month after Bill Clinton's defeat of the the Elder Bush in 1992, Ronald Reagan sent Limbaugh, a man he never met, a letter in which he thanked Limbaugh "for all you're doing to promote Republican and conservative principles...[and] you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country."
“I'm a huge supporter of women. What I'm not a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose. Feminism has led women astray. I love the women's movement, especially walking behind it.”
“Militant feminists are pro‐choice because it’s their ultimate avenue of power over men. And believe me, to them it is a question of power. It is their attempt to impose their will on the rest of society, particularly on men.”
“The way liberals are interpreting the First Amendment today is that it prevents anyone who is religious from being in government.”
“The worst of all of this is the lie that condoms really protect against AIDS. The condom failure rate can be as high as 20 percent. Would you get on a plane — or put your children on a plane — if one of five passengers would be killed on the flight? Well, the statistic holds for condoms, folks.”
“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
“Conservatism solves problems libralism blows em up.”
“I must be honest. I can only read so many paragraphs of a New York Times story before I puke.”
“Enraging liberals is simply one of the more enjoyable side effects of my wisdom.”
“He's one fry short of a Happy Meal.”
“The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope.”
“Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the twentieth century.”
“None of what Barack Obama is doing or wants to do to this country is anything the rest of the world hasn't seen before and already failed at.”
“You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.”
“Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.”
“No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.”
“if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.”
“Most of the reasons people think they can't do something are reasons they've created. Everything you do is up to you. Part of life is realizing that you have much more potential and ability than you'd ever know. However, it is up to you to reach inside, face the fears, and unleash that which really drives you.”
