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.”
