The Quiet, Sad Erasure of the Legacy of Rush Hudson Limbaugh lIl

He was a Midwest college dropout who was "a wandering shred of human debris" until his late thirties when he was picked up by New York's 770 WABC Radio in 1988 in time for the Bush/Dukakis race. For several years, he would host separate NY and National shows until they merged in the nineties. The early shows were where he showed his independence the most. He thought nothing of mocking sodomites. And who could forget the show's Caller Abortion? Instead of muting the caller and quietly hanging up on them like say, Patrick Madrid, he played the audio of a vacuum cleaner concluding with a faint scream which he always denied hearing. 

 Here was a man raised a Methodist and buried in a Masonic plot who used to take pro-Life cruises with Cardinal O'Connor  and  was personal friends with Malachi Martin. He seriously entertained thoughts of converting but wondered what hinderance two divorces (at the time) would present. By the time of the Gulf War, he was reliably in the Neo-Con/Zionist camp although he did endorse Pat Buchanan in the 1992 primary much to the consternation of those trying to control him. There were similarities in later years with his support of Donald Trump. 

Was anyone else heard on the radio by this many people since Fr. Coughlin (another voice that had to be controlled)? But what was his legacy?    Tim Kelly has repeatedly pointed out that he drove liberals crazy mocking them and made millions of dollars doing it from the millions who listened but did he even slow the country's leftward slide?

Now, he's gone and replaced by an even more controlled opposition:  A CIA trained company man and a  remote sidekick who can't go five minutes without saying "to your point," "no doubt," or "I have three boys."

Outsourcing Catholic Charity

Well, it's a sad day when a non-Catholic outsider seems to understand more about the USCCB and its attendant government and parishoner subsidized programs that promote abortion, birth-control, government overregulation, homosexuality and creeping Alinskyite socialism. It just goes to show you that you don't have to be a Catholic-in-Name-Only to tell the truth about what is going on in the American Church. Rush Limbaugh, who himself was under attack from the USCCB in October, sees things pretty clearly, he writes,

I mean holy carp, folks. Is nothing sacred? They have infiltrated the Catholic Church? Or maybe the Catholic Church has allowed itself to be infiltrated. "According to the newsletter, 'the Archdiocese of Washington's Environmental Outreach Committee has created a particularly useful new tool" and I have a compressed copy of it right there. I'm not going to zoom in here; I haven't got time. That's the calendar. "[A] calendar that lists 40 carbon-fasting measures individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint.' The newsletter provides a link to the full calendar. The calendar contains suggestion for each of the 40 days of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17, with 'Remove one light bulb from your home and live without the light for the next 40 days.'" What a cheap cop-out.

Perhaps we shouldn't expect truth and integrity from Jesuits or even possibly those who work for them, but we always hold out a candle of hope rather than curse the darkness; Henry Karlson who teaches at Fordham University and writes for InsideCatholic once told us that he favoured the Soviet Union over his own country, and since spending so many years at Fordham, we see that his allegiances haven't changed appreciably, as he demonstrates when he shills for the socialistic, anti-Catholic CCHD in an article he writes about the "good that the CCHD does" for Vox Nuova. Henry used to believe aliens were real, perhaps he still does, but it's far crazier and in our opinion a sign of malice, to defend the CCHD.



While he is eager to attack those who are pointing out that there is something systemically wrong with outsourcing Catholic Charity and relying on non-Catholics and anti-Catholics to do the job as using rhetoric and logical fallacies that have never before been used, he engages in some rhetoric himself and tells us, incredibly, that people would die if the CCHD disappeared tomorrow.

Actually, if the CCHD were abolished tomorrow, it would probably save lives, since the various Planned Parenthood and Pro-Abortion organizations which enjoy CCHD support wouldn't receive that support any longer.

Perhaps instead of outsourcing Catholic Charity to non-Catholic and anti-Catholic organizations, the Bishops should take that money to foster vocations to the Monastic orders who have traditionally been the charity arm of the Catholic church in the past, not a pack of United Way style professionals with murky job titles and strange agendas!
