Right-wing pundit Rush Limbaugh turned 70 years old Tuesday — a landmark he wasn’t expecting to see. While hitting seven-o is a big birthday for anyone, Limbaugh said almost a year ago that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Shortly before Christmas, an emotional Limbaugh said he was grateful to be outliving his doctors’ prognosis. “I wasn’t expected to make it to October and then to November and then to December and yet here I am,” Limbaugh told listeners.
A column in his hometown publication the Southeast Missourian praised Limbaugh, a Cape Girardeau native, as “the first to develop a prominent place for conservatives in media”

I join many millions in praying for Rush. He is a Godsend for us and we love him.
But screw your headline writer calling him ‘right wing’. He is right. Period.

I "found" Rush in 1991; was at Gettysburg National Military Park on a visit. Stopped to rest, turned the car radio on at top of the hour for news. . . and five minutes later heard this booming voice that articulated EXACTLY what I had been thinking all my life. The combination of being at a. critical location in American history and listening to Rush talk about America crystallized everything I have ever thought about politics. Since that day, I rarely have missed the first hour of his show..

Best wishes, and prayers, Rush.
Rush Limbaugh's tag line is so, so true, "Talent on loan from God." We have been very lucky to have him, hope he can hang on longer, but I know this stuff is relentless. Maybe God will grant him some more years, somehow.

Dittoes Rush. Praying. You are the most influential and principled conservative since William F. Buckley. You've certainly reached more people.

Someone told me years ago that there was a guy on the radio who said that the only difference between Stalin and Gorbachev was that Gorbachev was alive.

After 29 years of saving my sanity this great man has become family to me. He has been more of a blessing than I could possibly express in words. If God's ways were our ways no doubt we would all keep him with us forever.
Happy Birthday, Rush. May God bless and watch over you and your loved ones in this time.

Wishing Rush a Happy Birthday. My late husband and I had the ultimate pleasure of meeting him on June 6 1996 when we attended a live broadcast of his television show. He was and is the most down to earth person you would ever want to chat with. May God grant him freedom from this cancer so he can continue his trying to save this nation.

Happy Birthday El Rushbo, The smartest man on earth!!
I began listening in October 1992. Some time before that, I saw Rush on Phil Donohue's afternoon show. Donohue tried twisting Rush's words, and Rush was brilliant in his arguments. Anyway, he always entertains and enlightens, and I am so grateful to have had him by my side ( figuratively) and feel he is a dear member of my family. God really put his best work into creating our precious friend, Rush.

Rush is only a few weeks older than I am, and this all gives me real pause.

Blessed 70th Birthday, Christian love and prayers, Rush! Indeed, “talent on loan from God,” for which Conservatives are so grateful: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)

Wishing him the best on his 70th. I heard today that new advances in treating lung cancer are having profound effects. Many patients are living much longer than expected. Continued prayers...

Happy Birthday Rush! He taught me all I ever needed to know about conservatism. He converted me from my mush brain of liberalism about 22 yrs ago. I thank him because it made my life much better and my thinking so much clearer. I look forward to everyday that I am able to listen and Rush is able to be with us.

I remember the first time I became a Ditto Head. I was at my first shore duty station at the Alameda Naval Air Station in the Bay Area of California. My First Class Petty Officer was listening to this guy who had a cool radio voice and was quite funny. With lines like “lovable little fuzz ball” and “half my brain tided behind my back just to make it fair. Well I asked him who the guy was and he said he’s Rush Limbaugh and our new President is in for it. That was in 1993 and we all know who was President back then. I’ve been a fan of Rush’s ever since. He’s been one of our greatest Conservative warriors and I wish him a Happy Birthday and I pray that he’s able to soldier on his EIB Network for years to come.
