Rush Limbaugh

[JaniceSW]

I don't like him and to give him that medal also was a disgrace.  That's tells you what kind of President you all have because he is not my president.  Sorry he has to go through that for this family.

He actually IS your president. He IS the president of the United States whether you voted for him or not.  Whether you like him or not.  As far as Rush being awarded that medal it is NOT a disgrace. Your not agreeing with it doesn't make it a disgrace.

Now the way filose acted WAS a disgrace. But I am sure you applauded every disgraceful thing she and the other dumorats done during his speech.

No, he is not MY president.  I didn't vote for him and would never vote for him!! As far as that racist, conspiracy theorist, hateful Limbaugh, giving him a medal in the House of Representatives would be like giving one to a major Democrat in the Senate,  It was disrespectful and ignorant, but then that's who this president is.  If you like him, like him.  But don't tell me to like him, respect him, or call him my president.

You neither have to like him OR respect him.  But there is no denying the fact that he IS YOUR President if you are a United States citizen. It's not as simple as just saying it is not so. 


I am trying to understand your comment: "giving him a medal in the House of Representatives would be like giving one to a major Democrat in the Senate".  What does that mean?

There have been a lot of other people who have gotten this medal by other presidents who were commentary radio show hosts. This is nothing new. unless you live in another country Trump is your president whether you like it or not. That's why he is called President of the United States.  A lot of people didn't like Obama but they didn't state he wasn't their president.

OMG. I'm SO sick of hearing this "not MY president" BS. It doesn't matter if you voted for him or not. It doesn't matter if you agree with him or not. It doesn't matter if you like him or not. He is the president of the United States. Do you live in the United States? Yes? Then he is your president, until someone else takes over.

Trump is my president. So was Obama and Bush (x2) and Clinton and Reagan. And I have never voted in my entire life.

Would it be out of line for me to ask why you haven't voted and to perhaps encourage you to consider it? The country could always use more voters who vote with their brains rather than just checking a box because someone else [whether intentionally or by honest mistake] wrongfully told them that was the person/party who has their best interests at heart.

LOL.  How hilarious.  I could care less who you like. But like it or not he IS the president of the United States.  He is the president whether you voted for him or not.  He is the president whether you like him or not.  And he is the president of the entire country and every one in it.

I'm sympathetic for Rush Limbaugh's health situation.  But he is a poor choice to be a recipient of the Medal of Freedom.  It is to be awarded "for especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, or world peace, or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors". Rush was just as divisive as our president.

It sure would be nice if they could find a cure for cancer but until then people will suffer I lost both my parents to cancer.

[dreamyxo]

We all got to go sometime.

[rghvac69]

I'm a big fan and I hope he recovers soon.

[gaylasue]

I wish him well in his fight against cancer.  Cancer has taken out much better people than him.

Many people have cancer and each person has to deal with it to the best of their ability.  My mother in law passed from lung cancer.

Look at past recipients of this same award and then re-read what you yourself quoted.


Actor Robert DeNiro (whom I love as an actor, but cannot stand as a political mouthpiece) was awarded with the same honor by President Obama. DeNiro cannot put forth a single sentence about Trump without also dropping multiple F-bombs and going on a spastic tirade about inflicting personal violence against the President. Talk about being divisive... Rush Limbaugh is much more qualified for this award than DeNiro, IMO. But we are not the ones making those decisions.  Obama was fully within his right and prerogative to give this medal to Robert DeNiro - an actor who has had numerous memorable movies and roles throughout his career. Trump was absolutely and undeniably qualified to honor Rush Limbaugh in the same way.  ANYONE who accepts one and rejects the other is a short-sighted hypocrite, plain and simple.


Turning to your quote (which comes straight from the award terms itself: "cultural or other significant public or private endeavors"... talk radio as a source of news and entertainment would not exist today in the form that it is were it not for Rush Limbaugh. This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with his political views. This is about cultural contributions.

[bremer51]

Opinions vary.  Every President has the "right" to award the medal.  But Rush belittled and ridiculed blacks, women, gay people, the ill, etc,etc. That's not what I call contributing to our culture.

Don't care what you say Countygirl12 he is not my president and they acted just like your president  (Childish) so claim him if you like, but don't tell me who is my president, didn't vote for him. I sure you applauded everything Dump said and did.  Rush  Limbaugh is a bigot and a racist so that is why I stated to give him that medal was a disgrace, you may not agree and that is your right as it is mind. Peace!
