When we studied the 1990s, I pulled from my bookcase the books I had purchased during those years: The Way Things Ought to Be, and See, I Told You So.
FUNNY TELEVISION AND RADIO SHOWS
During that time I was introduced to those books while watching his fun television show, which I stumbled upon when I brought my first baby home from the hospital!
Limbaugh doesn’t sit and worry about the future.
In fact, he’s quite hilarious, often creating parodies of various events, which I pulled-up on-line for my son to see El Rushbo in action!
Limbaugh currently has a daily radio show that commands millions of listeners!
He defines the correcting of current events of our era!
One of my favorite things about Rush Limbaugh is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously, and pokes fun at those who do…while speaking to the current events of our day.
LIMBAUGHT SELF-TAUGHT IN GREAT BOOKS
As a classical homeschool educator one of the things I enjoyed reading the most in Limbaugh’s books was that he himself read the Great Books!
No, he was not classically trained in public school or college.
In fact, he was bored out of his gourd!
Psst, teachers…challenge your students with the Great Books.
My daughter’s college classmates are jealous she got to read them, because they were stuck with boring modern literature.
Raise the bar with…the Great Books!
Let them enter the Great Conversation that has been discussed for hundreds of years, about freedom of man from government tyranny.
Limbaugh accessed the Great Books from his father’s bookcase…and obviously that speaks truer than a textbook.
Limbaugh’s information is deeply researched and based on history, which he follows-through with logical arguments.
If we know what happened in the past under similar situations, we can use that to make more informed decisions for the future.
LIMBAUGH CULMINATED OUR HOMESCHOOL STUDIES FULL CIRCLE
And that in a nutshell is how I wrote our classical homeschool history program, that was integrated with government, philosophy, and literature as well as fine arts!
One represented the other because the artist/author of the day crafted their work based on their thoughts of their present surroundings…their philosophy.
Limbaugh pretty much brought everything full circle from when our studies began in the Ancients and progressed through the eras of time to the modern era.
