The Way Things Ought to Be (Abridged) Audiobook

" Poorly reasoned, poorly researched, and just generally annoying there's nothing here of value except to understand how demagoguery serves to replace critical thinking. "

" This book was awful. I read it a long time ago and still remember recoiling at the man's words. I read it because I was curious. I was never tempted again to read another book by any of his ilk. "

" I read this in 1993 when I was just getting introduced to politics. Back then I found him entertaining and, yes, even educational. While I still regard Rush Limbaugh as a master of the radio medium I have drifted further and further from his political beliefs and now categorize myself as "Independent". Thanks for getting me started, Rush. "

" This was a written as only Mr. Limbaugh could write. Whether he be talking about feminazi's, the Thought Police, or Algore, Rush can put a hilarious and conservative spin on anything. This book stands along other conservative classics from the 90's such as Ronald Reagan's An American Life. This is a must read from "the man conservatives love and liberals love to hate." "

" It has been almost 20 years since I read this. I'm sure I would have rated it much higher 20 years ago. "

" This book is the conservative Bible. Rush makes so much sense. I used to be somewhat liberal (a LOOONG time ago) but I found myself agreeing with him and I have been a dittohead ever since. "

" Pretty good summary of solid conservative thought. Without the bloviating you get from the radio show. "

" Rush Limbaugh at his best. "

" Totally don't know why I bothered to read this one, but it was the last thing by him I've read. What a waste of time. "

" Only the truly conservatives will appreciate this book. It is a little outdated but his political piniciples still apply today. "

" Reading this book is a bit like watching the movie Troll 2. One should come prepared to encounter such vast stupidity that your brain may literally fail. "

" Reads as true today as it did back in 1992. "

" shockingly, i didn't at all hate this book. "

" Great perspective on conservatism and an independent thinker. A totally politically incorrect book. Fun to read. "

" If you like listening to Rush, or just want to know more about him and/or the conservative mind-set, read this book. "

" blast off!! it's the RUSHetship!! "

" I read Rush's book when I was in college and slowly growing in my political views from staunch conservative Republican to anarcho-libertarian. Rush's book is entertaining and does a good job outlining the conservative cause, although I no longer agree with many of his positions. "

" Conservatism at it's finest. I wish Rush would write more. "

" I like Rush and lean in his direction but, I just wonder how much of his work is simply work and how much is conviction. "

" I love Rush but this book was well outdated when I read it. Still, good info if old. "

" Read this for the first time my junior year in high school. Still love it. Still right on. "

" Easy book to read. Humorous. Engaging. Enlightening. Frustrating. It runs the realm of emotions. I was surprised to agree with him on some things, actually quite a few things, but also disagreed with him on many things. I recommend as it will make you think about your own opinions on topics. "

" Although I believe this man to be extraordinarily closed minded, and a lot of times, wrong to me, I respect him for being so open with his opinion. He does make a good point every 50 pages or so. "

" I love Rush but this book was well outdated when I read it. Still, good info if old. "

" Can be over the top. Interesting and valid viewpoints. "

" I like the info he delivers---not him as a personality. I have a better understanding of Rush by consuming this work. All 'Anti-Rush' individuals should read to know their opponent better. "

" This book is the conservative Bible. Rush makes so much sense. I used to be somewhat liberal (a LOOONG time ago) but I found myself agreeing with him and I have been a dittohead ever since. "

" This book is dated now, having been written in 1992; however, the content is remarkably applicable today. The treatments on various subjects are disappointingly shallow, but there are also a lot of good insights. "

" Rush makes some good points, he's not always wrong, he has a tendancy to rant and not accept that others may also have good points. Overall it's just an attempt to cash in. "

" shockingly, i didn't at all hate this book. "

" Reading this book is a bit like watching the movie Troll 2. One should come prepared to encounter such vast stupidity that your brain may literally fail. "

" a good basic 101 class on American politics and is still relevant today "

" I read Rush's book when I was in college and slowly growing in my political views from staunch conservative Republican to anarcho-libertarian. Rush's book is entertaining and does a good job outlining the conservative cause, although I no longer agree with many of his positions. "

" Kind of funny, though outdated when I read it. "

" This classic piece of American literature should be a must read for all American students. Rush presents the issues of the day and the answers to them all in a manner that is pure genius. "
