Secular Conservatism: A Critique of Rush Limbaugh

Posted: Wednesday, December 31st, 1969

Secular--not pertaining to or connected with religion
Let me see if I have this straight. He is the champion of the "conservative movement" even though he has struggled with drug addiction to the pain killer oxycotin, was found to be using Viagra even though he was unmarried, and recently took the walk down the aisle for his fourth till-death-do-us-part vow. This "king of conservatism" was twenty-seven when his new bride was born. At the wedding celebration he treated his guests to a million-dollar serenade by the music queen Elton John, who recently declared that Jesus was gay, financially empowering the former Reginald Dwight (Elton) with the ability to pour another million dollars into his anti-Christian activities.
Rush Limbaugh, El Rushbo, is the king of Secular-Conservatism. He is the voice of the modern conservative movement, paid millions by advertisers to carry water for the Republican Party. He has admitted as much himself. Fame does not equate with leadership. Some of the best leaders I have ever been associated with are relative unknowns. We have to be careful who we follow, and why. Rush Limbaugh is the recognized leader of the conservative movement but what authority does he have to lead? Why would Christians follow a leader who behaves so un-Christian?
None of the high profile talkers are Christians. Oh, they may have a form of Godliness, and they may even mention "God" every now and then, but there is not a national-talker on the air who will boldly mention the name of Jesus as part of his broadcast. God, without Jesus, is not Christianity. Conservatism without Christianity is Counterfeit Salt. Rush Limbaugh is a poster boy for the secularization of Christianity in America.
Please understand, I am not picking on Rush. Living his life would be a very hard thing to do, even for a Spirit-filled man. I enjoy listening to him and often get a chuckle out of the way he presents things, but Rush Limbaugh is no role model. Rush Limbaugh is the Sultan of Secular Conservatives.
Just because folks recognize one's face does not make one a leader. From Tiger Woods to Rush Limbaugh it is rapidly becoming apparent that most public figures are not really the person that image-makers have tried to convince us they are. Tiger's exploits speak for themselves, and the nation's numero uno conservative Rush Limbaugh has exposed for the entire world to see his infidelity to Christian values.
"Wait a minute." you may be thinking. "Rush is very loyal to his beliefs." And I would have to agree with you. Rush IS loyal to what he believes. He believes in tax cuts, the free enterprise system, smaller government, the Republican Party, and himself
