I'd been in Germany from 86 to 91 (Air Force working the flight line) and got stationed at Ellsworth AFB as a Crew Chief on the B-1's in early 92. Worked the mid shift (11pm to 7am), come home to do evening things in the morning like yard stuff, help with the two boys or grill over a few beers and make a good lunch. That is when I first started listening. Twenty nine years later I'm now working at a fairly large Grain Elevator running a 120' crop sprayer all season, running a semi, or servicing equipment.  No, Rush Limbaugh wasn't perfect cause he was human like the rest of us. But when it came to "reading the stiches of a fast ball" in regards to politics and what it meant to those of us who actually work, he called out the hypocrisy and subversion of the left and their media. Just like President Trump, Rush couldn't drain the swamp but he sure as hell exposed it. Was in a truck with the radio on the morning of the 17th and when I heard his wife Cathryn come on, figured what was coming. I believe Rush provided a positive balance to our American Culture that is under attack.
