Summary

Highlights:

  • “He was my hero. And that’s not just hyperbole. If it weren’t for Rush I wouldn’t be here with you right now.”
  • “Over the next several months just by sitting there at night listening to him on TV, I hadn’t even discovered his radio program at the time - it converted me. His arguments, the arguments converted me.”
  • “I would never have given conservative Christianity the time of day if it weren’t for Rush’s emphasis on the need for religion to have a solid moral basis for civilization. As a lefty, I thought we had outgrown religion.”
  • “I love his interminable optimism. Now, you wonder where I got my optimistic conservatism from, it was from Rush.”
  • “I was such a Rush geek I listened to Rush on Saturday afternoons.”
  • “He gave me a work ethic that made me excited to serve others and not feel like I was above them.”
