Please see my review for his other book, "The Way Things Ought to Be", for a scathing review that will basically apply for anything Limbaugh ever written or said.

Did you know that feminists are just mad because men don't want to have sex with them? (spoiler alert: it's the hairy legs.) Ha! You tell 'em, Rush! This guy's not afraid to say what everyone else is already thinking!
So, this book is kind of amazing. I have it listed as "read," but only because "occasionally pick up and try to force myself to finish two pages" isn't actually an option. I found this a couple years back at the Massanutten Regional Library in Harris...more

As one of the poor, working-class Americans struggling to make ends meet on a meager salary, you might think I would have nothing but contempt for Mr. Limbaugh. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. As Mr. Limbaugh says, if anyone is to blame for this mess of a country, it's those defeat-o-crats who whine and bitch about how good the rich got it. Hey, if I wanted to feel sorry for myself, I'd go stare at my paycheck while my little guy is asking me why we can't buy him those fancy ne...more
What a piece of shit. This book was used as a doorstop in my bookstore. When he was allegedly suffering from a 'cardiac event' last week in Hawaii I decided I'd finally read the fucker.
Good Christ, he's totally ape-shit bananas!

Why waste my time and reading ability on this trash? Rush would be ranting to the left if he could make money on it. An embarrassment to actual authors. Yes, I did read it to review it.

ive never read this book, but i never would. Rush Limbaugh and his completely right wing political views are insanely, well, insane.

Rush just being a larger jackass than before. Man, it's embarassing that I bought his snake oil at the time (in my defense, i was 15 years old).

Charlie encouraged me to read this book. Not my cup of tea but he said he believes every word.

I read this book when I was about 20, it belonged to my boyfriend's (now husband's) dad. It was really entertaining & I learned from it too, & I felt really grown up reading a book about politics. Yes, Rush can be obnoxious but that's what makes him entertaining. Alot of the stuff in this book was true, but it's probably a little outdated now. My favorite part was the liberal dictionary. It's too bad he got into so much trouble with pain killers & stuff. I like Sean Hannity better than Rush, rea...more

those who think they know what Rush limbaugh stands for
I learned about the power of a positive outlook. The marketplace should be allowed to control the way we do things. That government needs to be limited to promoting the safety and welfare of its people against enemies within and without.That racism isnt profitable if left to the devices of the free market and that once government tries to intervene it perpetuates the problem. the same goes for a myriad number of other social disputes, from homosexuality, feminism, environmentalism, abortion etc.

Not as strong as his first book, but great nonetheless. Especially the part about the free market taking care of businesses that would take part in racist or sexist practices. Government intervention in this area is needless and only creates more problems.

I am a big Rush fan. Even though this book is older and deals with a lot of '90's politics, I still enjoyed it. Many of his principles are as true today as they were under Clinton.

Still can't get enough of this book. What's so funny is that things played out almost exactly as he suggested. At the time it sounded like bombast. Now it just reads like history...

Read this book when I first started listening to Rush in 2000. I always love to hear what the king of talk radio has to say. Always on target. Very interesting book.

The beginning of the end of my conservatism. Things neither make sense nor are interesting.
