It is hard for me to think of someone who has been more influential in peddling anger and fear than Rush Limbaugh. I mourn his legacy and its impacts on people I love.
people I love--gentle, caring people--turned into someone I didn't recognize suddenly when talking about politics. It wasn't until I was in my 20s when I realized they were just parroting the anger they consumed from Rush.
my challenge today, and every day, is to think about what messages I want to marinate in myself. and I want to reject fear and anger as the fire hose I choose to drink from, even if it feels good and the anger is at unjust systems. I've seen first hand what the anger does.
