I was very sorry to hear today that the cancer that Rush Limbaugh had been fighting for the past year finally won. With Limbaugh’s death America lost its most powerful conservative voice since the death of William F. Buckley Jr. in 2008. I first heard Rush Limbaugh on radio back …

When I was in college I read George Orwell’s gloomy and ominous novel, “1984” and while it was eye-opening, I never once considered that the totalitarian world it portrays was one that could ever materialize in America. Today, I’m not so sure it couldn’t. In fact, it seems to me …
