Customer Reviews of The Way Things Ought to Be

A conservative masterpiece.
Rush Limbaugh's "The Way Things Ought To Be" is one of the great landmark books of the conservative movement. Today, I am a conservative Republican in a family full of Democrats. After listening to Limbaugh's radio show a couple of times, and watching his television show a few times, I began to read this book, and it was the beginning of my conversion to conservatism. TWTOTB, and its follow-up, "See, I Told You So," set the tone for the Gingrich revolution of the 1994 election when the Republicans regained control of the House and the Senate. In TWTOTB, Limbaugh confronts a number of issues including abortion, feminism, AIDS, the environment, animal rights, socialist-utopianism and "entitlemania" (entitlement programs, and this b.s. mentality of "my country owes me something"). Rush also defends the 1980's and sets the record straight on Ronald Reagan after years of lies and disinformation by the left. After twelve years, "The Way Things Ought To Be" remains a great source for the study of conservative thought. I recommend it not only for conservatives, but also for any liberals or moderates who seriously wish to conduct an honest study of conservatism and what we really believe.

Inside the Mind of the Right
Rush Limbaugh did a great job of writing this book. He spells out his philosophy and his method. He talks about several issues: abortion, the State of the Union, AIDS, the Imperial Congress, and the Eighties. Lots of subjects described in this book have lost their relevance in our current times. However, his words don't cease to make quite an impact.

Throughout his book he follows a simple outline, common sense. He repeatedly challenges one to think on one's own and not believe the "liberal-pandering mass media and it's one sided views of how things are/should be." From chapter to chapter, Limbaugh gives his perspective on issues dealing with the poor, the savings and loan scandal of the 80's, and why Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of the 20th century. I don't agree with him on all issues, but he always makes sure to back up his ideas.

A great comment he makes is that "we need to replace the eagle with a huge sow that has a lot of nipples and a bunch of fat little piglets hanging on them all trying to suckle as much nourishment from them as possible... the sow is not fat and flourishing, she's emaciated. A lot of the piglets have dropped off and are running around lost because they can't get any more nourishment." A look around at society immediately backs up his statement. He has an exponential amount of individuals that are living off of the government. There are too many kids that have the federal government playing the role of wage-earning father.

A great example of Rush's classic ideas is presented in his advisory of the book. "I considered advising you to place the jacket sleeve from a similar-size copy of the Bible over this book, which would place you in less jeopardy. But I then remembered that you wouldn't legally be allowed to read it in a school or during a commencement ceremony or many other public places, because God is unconstitutional...Just please be aware that reading this book in the wrong public places could result in its being set on fire or your being pelted with rotten vegetables. Don't be frightened. Read it anyway. Be courageous and brave. Smile when they stick their noses in the air and harumph. Laugh when thy confront you and ask you why you are reading fascism. Chuckle when they blame you for hunger in Ethiopia"

Throughout the book I was challenged, because I was persuaded to the conservative point of view. In the end, I considered myself to be very influenced by his words. This is a must for conservatives and liberals alike.

Thank heavens he had that boil!
Rupert Limburgher, or whoever, is truly a great treasure for this nation, or at least the parts of it where people can't read or write and like to own a lot of guns. His first book "See, I Told You I Had a Boil on My Butt!," or whatever, made all of us who have problems wiping after we use the toilet feel better about ourselves. And thank goodness Roderick (Rungeon? Rancor?) didn't wipe himself! If he had, he might have been sent off to fight in Vietnam, and would have actually gotten combat experience instead of being able to enjoy sending others to fight his wars. Now, in his latest diatribe, "The Way My Weight Ought to Be," or whatever, Reggie (Radish?) keeps on telling it like he wishes it were. Thank heavens that this man lives in a country where he can force his immigrant maid to go out in the middle of the night to score several thousand powerful pain killers to support his massive addiction, or else we as a society might be deprived of the chance to read his illegible nonsense.
