Rush Limbaugh: Crying Out For Help (a special editorial by John Lucia)

Rush Limbaugh says his show is the most listened to in talk radio in America. If that is true, he is a more tragic person than one can imagine. How can a person be so negative against people and what our country is all about. He is especially negative against Democrats who don't share his ideology. Free speech comes with responsibility, and instead of talking positive, his whole time is spent trying to divide the country and its people.

Some thing must have happened in his life, something that he can not control that makes him feel guilty and takes his feelings out on others and our country. He has a character problem that will not allow himself to tell the facts and always blames others. Because he is incapable of articulating what he stands for, he devotes his whole show to being negative.

He can not handle or stay in a married relationship. In fact, he makes fun of women, a sure sign that he feels inadequate. He can't shake his dilemma of cutting and running during his generations war while millions of men and women his age volunteered their service in the military. He feels he has to bash veterans and accuse people of being unpatriotic because he can not deal with his feeling of inadequacy.

He fits the mold of a right wing neocon republican who will not accept responsibility for his own failed actions. He has failed the test of being objective with his audience. He has passed up an opportunity to do much good for his country and that is shameful. Whatever happened in his life made him a tragic person who can not compete in an open society with truth and facts.

There will always be an audience for ditto heads and negative people like Rush, and radio and TV have their counterparts, but what have they contributed to their country and their profession? They can't be considered journalists because they are not well informed concerning facts and their ideology allows them no room for any original thought.

The demons in Rush's life must be permanent as he has been in radio for a long time and still can't control his shameless actions. He is a tragic person who is crying out for help.
