Ed Shultz who has an early prime time program on MSNBC is one of the very few on the liberal left side that has a successful talk radio program. He got into it with Ernest Istook who is now with the Heritage foundation over employers in relation to the health care bill. In this radio face off, Mr. Shultz responded in the way that has become practically the signature of the liberal left. He responded by denying the claims made to him without any evidence for back up. He had no facts and kept telling Mr. Istook he was wrong. Mr. Istook responded with facts which made Mr. Shultz look like he had been devoid of intelligence. See the transcript and get the audio of that talk radio program segment here.
As a critic from the loyal opposition, the only talk radio program on the liberal left side that has my ear on a regular basis is the local Philly urban talk radio station in the morning. Once and a while, I also try to catch Independent Lew Dobbs and Libertarian Neal Boortz who I have warmed up to a little bit. I listen mostly to right wing conservatives. But I listen less these days to the big conservative talkers like Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. I listen mostly to conservative right wing talkers who have Internet based radio programs such as Rod Eccles, Willie Lawson, Kevin Jackson and Mad Irishman, Sheridan Folger. I also listen to local based talkers that can be heard through streaming like James T. Harris of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I am now trying to listen to a local based conservative talker Lisa Fritsch out of Austin, Texas when I can get a chance. I first learned about her when she appeared on Glenn Becks's TV program about black conservatives. Ms. Fritsch is on 10:00 a.m. central (for me thats 11:00 a.m.) Monday through Friday for only an hour. From what I have heard so far, she definitely deserves another hour of talk time. I am really enjoying my personal discoveries of conservative radio talkers.
If you have read the "About" on this blog and/or my profile page on Facebook, you will see that I present myself as an independent conservative. This is due to when I made the initial decision to no longer be a Democrat. I wanted to go Independent, but could not because I am a voting resident of the state of Pennsylvania. Independents and other third political parties are closed out in PA's closed primary voting system. Third party candidates do not do well and are pretty much a lost cause in PA, therefore I went Republican.
I still contain an independent streak within me and can see both the Democrat and Republican parties as pots calling the kettle black. Neither of these parties are perfect and they take turns being in the spotlight for bad behavior. Former President Bush and both Houses of the Republicans Congress were in enough trouble with conservatives for voting in the Democrat vain for tremendous spending that has led in part to the current economic crisis. Republicans lost because many conservatives voted for third party candidates or did not vote at all. Then, there were the scandals dealing with the personal behaviors of a few elected Republicans.
Now its the Democrats' turn. People (mostly Independents) who voted for Pres. Obama are going through buyer's remorse, because they see the kind of change he was talking about is not the change they wanted. The Democrats are fearing losses in 2010. Some of the President's picks for his administration have had tax problems and then there is Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-New York) head of the House Ways and Means Committee and his tax issues currently in the news. There are also the controversial Czar picks with the main concentration right now on the Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings who was part of a post on a few Czars I did last week. Folks like Sean Hannity will not let this appointment go. You have to really wonder how in the world did Kevin Jennings ever get chosen period!
Because of my independent streak, I sift through the complaints I have heard from people about the treatment of Pres. Obama. Personally, I am thus far critical of his policies and other choices in the running of this country, but I deplore personal attacks and threats on the Pres. and his family. This first non white President is getting threats of harm well over that of any other U.S. President. After saying that there are some Obama supporters who see any valid criticism of his presidency as unlawful and personally threatning. I liken that fervor to the Nixon and Reagan years when their most ardent supporters stood on "My Country Right or Wrong."
Liberals! Liberals! Liberals! Some Obama folks who said nasty things about George Bush think Pres. Obama is just about the only President to have nasty things said about him. Okay! So now everyone take a look at this. Warning: Some disgusting language.
From last spring, Dr. Ben Carson on his life including his response to racism due to the influence of his mother who only had a 3rd grade education. I remember Dr. Carson telling how his mother required him to read books, do book reports and and give the reports to her. It was years later that he realized that she could barely read them due to her lack of education.
Also read this from Lloyd Marcus. He has something to say to white liberals about their attitudes and behaviors that do not help but hurt blacks. Plus go here where Mr. Marcus deals with the ultimate emotional intimidation. He hits the nail on the head in both columns.
Gays After Pro Traditional Marriage State Senator In May, Republican State Senator John Eichelberger, of Hollidaysburg, PA sponsored a constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage. Kesystone Progress bankrolled by homosexual activists is a Pennsylvanian progressive politics vehicle that zeros in on Republican freshmen for defeat. Sen. Eichelberger is a current target, because he stands against redefining marriage to include those in homosexuality. Sen. Eichelberger has this Pennsylvanian's support.
Attorney General Eric Holder Our Attorney General Eric Holder in 1998 when he was a deputy A. G. under Janet Reno expressed concern for the continual growth of pornography. Currently pro-family advocates have sent a letter to Mr. Holder reminding him of his 1998 concern, to speak out against porn and enforced the pornography laws currently on the book by prosecuting all offenders.
The porn laws have not always been enforced. A few months ago on a cable news program, former Focus on the Family President Dr. James Dobson said the Clinton administration was not so great at enforcing the pronograph laws. Read more here and read the letter and see which pro-family leaders signed the letter here.
Going After the Fat Remember when smokers abound and then little by little, it became increasingly difficult to pull out and smoke a cigarette. You notice nowadays especially during the colder months, people huddled up outside buildings on a smoke break? Well this administration through the proposed health care bill are coming after overweight people. Fat! It’s the New Smoking!
Late Clarification In conclusion, I have an extremely late clarification to make. In my Dec 11 post, I felt that my comments to the blog of the early morning talk host on Philly's one and only urban and liberal talk radio station had been rejected. I really thought the local talker had gotten sick of my opposing conservative comments. The truth was that reader comments were not making it to the blog regardless of political viewpoint.
Well the problem with reader comments turned out to be one of spam. The early morning host made it clear that he would approve comments whether pro or con to his views. My comments still did not appear on his blog, but the situation was finally corrected. The early morning host and I are now Facebook friends which has opened up more opportunities for my loyal opposition commenting.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg started a firestorm when she said, "...there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of..." Conservative talkers, columnist and bloggers pounced on it. There was resounding quietness on the liberal side. The very liberal Justice Ginsburg was acknowledging the eugenic attitude behind Roe v. Wade shared by the founder, Margaret Sanger of of the family planning organization Planned Parenthood.
I know that conservatives, liberals, libertarians and so forth can be found on the Sanger side, but it is mainly on the Democratic liberal side that there is in your face championing of a woman's basic right to pregnancy termination. The libertarians also support pregnancy termination rights, but they hardly have the power and sway of liberal Democrats. The Obama administration is putting increased effort into making abortion easier to obtain.
Listen to Margaret Sanger's Words Dealing With the Black Population
Read Maryland Senatorial candidate Ron Miller's Eugenics in Obama's America, a post from the Jeannie-ology blog and La Shawn Barber on the Obama administration's effort to include abortion in health care. In fact please visit her blog and read her other posts on abortion. Ms. Barber is a Christian whom has been very vocal about Christians supporting pro abortion candidates and elected leaders.
Zo is now with Pajamas Media exclusively. They do not offer an embedding code for their free videos. Just click on the image (a video promo will appear first for a few seconds) to hear Zo on human rights as they relate to Iran in comparison to the United States.
We Americans really take our freedoms for granted! Zo also takes human rights further with current leadership attitudes toward the unborn and universal healthcare. Zo is so good. He hits the nail on the head every time. Just click on the Zonation image to view the video.
Zo just knows how to take it to the liberals. He hits the "it's okay for liberals to speak out on their positions and get paid for it, but not conservative people (especially concerning people of color). Conservative people get accused of being sellouts and opportunists. Well Zo sets them straight.
