When I was twenty two years old, I went to work for my father. Now my dad and I spent a lot of time driving around South Florida and as anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in a vehicle knows you sometimes get tired of listening to music all the time so we started listening to talk radio. There was this radio host named Neil Rogers on the AM dial and he would do these funny bits and insult people and hang up on them and it would make our day. It was funny as heck. Now at the time I considered my self pretty liberal. WTH? Well I was young and didn’t know any better. In fact I really did not know what being a liberal was other than a majority of the other college age kids were also.

So I continue, with time I eventually started to really listen to the show and what Neil Rogers was saying. First thing I noticed was that when callers would call into Mr. Rogers show and disagree with him he would get really mad and call them names, hang up on them and would not let them finish the point they were trying to make. I mean it is his show and he can do whatever he wants, but it got me thinking why doesn’t he at least hear the other guy out? I mean the truth is the truth right? The problem is that sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes after he hanged up on a caller he would keep calling the caller names but would not rebut what the caller had said. In other words he was controlling what was being said on his show and that made me feel uneasy. Then the other thing I picked up on was Rush Limbaugh. I had no idea who or what Rush Limbaugh was but boy did Neil Rogers hate him. He used to refer to him as LardAss Limbaugh and other such names. Neil Rogers used to blow a gasket when mentioning Mr. Limbaugh and I could not understand for the life of me why he would get so mad?  So I tracked down Mr. Rush Limbaugh and listened and read what he had to say and the rest you can say is history. I also would like to make it clear that although I agree with the majority of things Mr. Limbaugh sais I don't agree with all of it........but I'm sure if I called Mr. Limbaughs show he would let me speak and would not berate me or hang up on me without letting me have my say.

So in short Thank You Mr. Neil Rogers for helping me change my way of thinking.
