Missouri's Republican lawmakers want to memorialize Rush Limbaugh, a conservative talk show host who defined the genre and died earlier this year, with a day in his honor.

Rush was a fine American who supported Law and Order, and respected the Rights of all honorable people. He deserves this Honor. He was not the person the liberals say he was. He was better than most of those calling him names.

Debra Riffle

It would be impossible to get a nation, divided as ours is, to agree on the size of a postage stamp, much less on who deserves to have a day of recognition. Rush Limbaugh was the voice for many who felt shut out of main stream media. He deserves to be recognized in this way.

Cindy Evans

Rush is a native Missourian who had a major impact on our state and nation. Whether you agreed with him or not, he impacted our nation and culture, and should be recognized for that achievement.

Opponents say Limbaugh's status as a native son is not a point of pride for Missouri. They say his divisive rhetoric has contributed to a contentious political atmosphere.

For what reason? What a clown 🤡 I have to be nice 😊

It doesn't surprise me. I live in Missouri where ignorance and stupidity is a Olympic sport. Many of us our humiliated by Limbaugh et al. If he gets a " day" from our legislature, so too should a piece of dog feces.

Denzel TW

What makes him sooo special he deserves a day

Sarah Perry

I do not feel he represents Missouri well.

Ed South

How despicable, the man was stuck in the capitol at midnight to have a statue in his name placed there. How much in taxes has he paid to Missouri. Guessing 0.

Cecil Schick

He's no one special

Chad W

Exactly the type of person I DONT want my kids to be.

Robert Cone

This man was nothing more than a hate monger and made his living promoting such. He should have never had his bust in our capital let alone a rush limbaugh day.

Max

He would never get a fair evaluation in the liberal confines of Columbia.

Kim h

I agree with what everyone is saying about him. Why people would even consider this person is outrageous. Not a role model to be honored

Max

You obviously don't agree with those that like Rush.

Wendi Newman

Why would anyone want to honor such a vile man?

DENNIS WRIGHT

He doesn't deserve it!! Anyone who lies like that doesn't deserve to be honored! Are we really going to honor people like this? Another step backwards!!

Mary Ann Pulley

This man spewed division, racism, misogynistic, false information, and ungodly behaviors!

Like Maxine Waters?

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
