Highest Civilian Award … The Presidential Medal of Freedom
That’s what our President awarded Rush Limbaugh in Feb. of 2020. And I will never deny him as President his choice to do so…. even though his choice disgusts me .
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award that recognizes those who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”
I posted a couple of posts on this blog about two American hero’s.
One was posted on August 16, 2011 about a man named Pat Smith.
Another was posted on August 18, 2011 about a woman named Susan Stuart.
And I would be proud to know you took the time to look through my blog for their stories as apart from here these American Heros stories were buried on some page 17 of local news papers ….
Now this may sound like sour grapes … and I say let it, but Rush earned my entire lifes income every two and one half weeks … year after year after year . He earned that money getting on the radio every day to whine about socialised medicine in other countries and about how unfair his taxes were.
That was his contribution my President deemed worthy of his award .
Personally I don’t believe Rush Limbaughs contribution to be worth a medal as it could never equall the contribution of the likes of Pat Smith or Susan Stuart.
