The Second Greatest Show On Earth

                    My grandfather had a saying; "Next to Barnum and Baily, the American Election Process is the greatest show on Earth!" How correct he was. Yet, how sad his prediction has become. We cannot vote anymore without a doubt of our selection's integrity to elect candidates. Our ballots no longer reflect the choice of our nation's direction, but rather, who is the least worst.
                    Voter fraud is just a normal part of the process now as much as long lines are normal at Dunkin Donuts. I can deal with deciding I want a coffee with cream then getting one that is without. I cannot deal with my vote being for "A" then discovering it was for "B". Then, I have to listen to some one tell me it was vote for racism, or, a vote for "going back".
                    Speaking of Dunkin Donuts and the election..I was accosted by an individual today at a DD.  The server was handling several orders at once. She got mine wrong.  I suggested she slow down and take one order at a time. Some A-hole called me a "dick" and berated me as my order was processed. ..I thought I was going to be in a fight. This guy was in my face!!
                    This made me think.. How much berating will we suffer this next week at the polls as people want to be heard properly and have the correct ballots to cast their votes. How many A-holes will be there calling them "dicks" and berating them to vote as they see fit.
                     The sad answer is; there will be many. Many will try to vote and be shunned away. Other votes will be auto-clicked to the Democrat Party.
                      Try to complain my friends...There is no recourse!
                   
                     The reports from FOX already point to numerous voter fraud examples. Most of our military absentee ballots are in the trash or lost.

                      I love how I am accused of being a "right wing" guy. The funny thing is, that, my accusers don't have a clue as to my past. I was born and raised a Card carrying Left wing ACLU Democrat! I know the play book. I know the game plan. I am the consummate "mole" to expose the playbook of the Left. I lived that life!
                      Recently, I read one of Hillary Clinton's books, " Living History". She wrote about how she was a registrar for John Kennedy's Presidential Campaign. Her job was to gather registrations for the vote..A noble cause.
                     She wrote that she went to address' that didn't exist, names that were deceased, places that did not exist. She filled out her forms and went back to the campaign manager.
                     After she told him about these discrepencies, she was informed to forget about them and those names would be added anyway. She said she heard nothing more of this. This was in 1960 for God's sake!
                     You think this has gotten better?

                     Gore vs. Bush in 2000: Gore wanted votes recounted in only Democratic Districts to sway the outcome. The Florida State Supreme Court said that ALL votes must be recounted in ALL Districts. This lead to the stopping of recounting and Gore relequishing to Bush...The Left was not happy. They claimed that Bush "stole" the election.
                      Truth is, Gore wanted to slant the election in Primarily Democratic Districts where voter fraud was rampant. Thus the stage was set for ACORN in 2008. We can go to Jersey City/ Hudson County in 1997 for another great example of fraud. Two machines sent to a Teacher's Union non polling place already loaded with votes.
                     Shall we talk about the Black Panthers outside polling places in 2008?

                    So, here we are again... Ross Perot said in the 1992 debate that this would be the last truly free election. We all laughed at him and his big ears. His simple "fixes" for our economy....Damn..I wish Ross was President then.

                     His words come back to haunt us! From a simple man who built a company and was in the front row of the bullshit our Government has handed us over 30 years come the telling! A giant shit sandwich and we must all take a bite from!


....And That Is The Diatribe....

Intolerance Run A-muck

                    The recent firing of a renowned journalist, Juan Williams from NPR has sent a chill down the spines of writers, commentators, television and radio personalities. That chill can have two effects. 1; it either stiffens the spine so the respondent becomes more resolute or, 2; the spine becomes brittle and breaks way to easily. Either way the industry itself becomes less of a trusted source for information as a whole. It was Walter Cronkite who said something to the effect that our Democracy depends on the free flow of information from its news organizations.
                     Speaking of Walt; I wonder if the graphic news reels from the front lines of Vietnam, that were broadcasted nightly, were censored. Would the outcome have been different? It is fact that, The Pentagon Papers, graphic scenes of our mangled soldiers and other exposures during that time altered the course of the war. We do not see those secnes today on the nightly news. The best source to see some really great video is a website from The Military Channel, military.com. Some are scenes of our soldiers performing bravely, some of them getting killed, blown up, graphic gun camera video of insurgents and Taliban getting cut to ribbons in full on no bullshit. The television decision makers will never air this. Not because they want to alter the course of the war, but because some one may complain.
                     That's right..Viewers may complain. Some one may be 'offended' and write an angry letter. Corporations for media tremble at this omni-present threat.
 
                      Since I am a contributing writer to this blog I have every right to (and I must) direct this conversation towards my own experiences while producing my radio program. I feel the examples over the past two days are relevant to my own situation.
                      I want to make a statement here:
                      I will stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone, even those I find reprehensible in their rhetoric to defend their right to say what they think.
                     There are standards we must oblige by. Don't swear, don't be openly racist, etc. But some one's opinion? Some one's thought on an issue? Some one's political convictions? Those, now, are tantamount to dismissal?
                      What really fries my fish is the level that some will lower to to demand that my voice be censored under the guise of "their values" or "the values we represent". What values are those? The values of a one sided conversation? The values of a set agenda (written or implied)? The value of, we don't want any other view point except our own, or the concept thereof.
                      I had responded to some comments on the content of my show. There is a 'Forums' page on the website WCUW.ORG. I post my show programming, I make comments, introduce guests. I, even, post something controversial in relation to the content of my show. This includes jpegs, etc.
                      
                       The first time I was called on the carpet was for a political cartoon of Obama and the Statue of Liberty. The cartoon was removed by Management and I was told in an e-mail that I was spreading hate speech and something about interracial rape. It was nonsense. It was cartoon.What are we the Taliban? Publish a cartoon of Mohammed and a 'Fatwa' gets declared?
                       There was another time when I had a Congressional Candidate(Ind) on and a caller asked about the "illegal war in Iraq..etc". We had responded by saying that Congress did vote on the war. The argument turned into a case of semantics. An entire dissertation about the 10th Amendment followed from the caller on that 'Forums' page.
                        Lately, the issue of having the Tea Party on my show (for the um-teenth time) reared its ugly head. This is what is the crux of the problem now. I have been accused of having only "right wing" Candidates on my show. Even though I have submitted a list to Management on the guests since January, this moron demanded a list anyway. They are right there on this page for every one to see..Didn't matter. This idiot later claimed that he/she had only tuned into my show from time to time, but was convinced of the political slant. That made him/her very upset. Ounce of perception, pound of obscure.
                        After I pointed out that WCUW broadcasts many other politically charged shows, and no one says a word, (because they are Left leaning) that we also have spiritual and Christian broadcasts; this didn't satisfy the complainer. Instead, this Fascist Zealot wanted the content of the Christian shows and my show forcibly handed over to the Board of Directors. So much for one of the stations hallmark logos, "radio of the people, by the people and for the people."
                        I guess this individual is self appointing themself to be the one man committee of Decency and political correctness. I always thought these were the actions of 'right wingers'. Au' contraire mon ami.

                      The reality is it has always been the Left who engage in this behavior. The reality is; in the past, most of these 'concerned citizen' groups were card carrying Democrats. All these organizations have grown to such power that they now control content over Government policy and censorship in the media. Individuals engage in this behavior almost on a sub conscience level. They don't know they are stepping on the Constitution. Their own sense of self righteousness clouds this inconvenient truth. They are convinced they are doing "the right thing".
                    
                         The truth is. These people are spreading hate, spreading intolerance, narrow-mindedness, a strict regiment to a stated doctrine and down right bigotry.

Have I Done Enough?

It has been a long time since I have written to this site. I have been busy at life and work. Others have posted and still do their own work and life. I am writing now on the last days of this election.

I have had the great opportunity to interview many prospective Congressional Candidates. Some lost the Primaries, some have won. I thank God for the chance to speak with these people, regardless of the outcome. It has been educational.

There has also been some controversy over the content of my radio show and if I was presenting a slanted view. Isn't every media and content thereof slanted in it's view?

One this day of my birth I realize how important I am to this world. Every person must realize that they are as equally important to their own cause and purpose of being.

The election is less than two weeks away. I am asking myself if I have done enough. Will my failure be my Birthday present? Will my small bit of help be my Birthday present? How could have I done more?

I interview, I blog, I try to carry the name of great Patriots along the road. Is that enough?? Has what little has transpired during my radio show been enough to convince just a few people? I pray it has. I know it has not..

The Left has brought out all the guns and all I have is my voice. All any of us have is our voice. Any attempt to bring out our own big guns pigeon holes us to the Right. How much have we accomplished?

I will tell you.

All of us have awakened this sleeping giant. All of us have cried; "We are here. We are here!" The nation has listened. It may not be the success we dreamed of; it is the success we have unleashed for the future. Our children now know what is at stake. Our children can see it. My children see it. (They, actually have no choice, I speak about this almost daily..So, they are inducted by default..)

We have awakened neighbors, we have awakened friends and family. We have been ostracized by some, accepted by strangers who are now our FB friends. Their children know their Parent's position. My children know what they must be. They must be American Patriots.

In the past, we spoke of the "debt" to our children and shielded them from it accordingly. We do not do this anymore. It is incumbent upon them to know their past and act to change their future. It is not the schools who will teach this (they want more of this). It is not our TV (they feed on fear). It is , certaintly, not, our Government ( a program sustained by a ruse is a program sustained in the budget). It is the voice of knowledge and the voice of living that lie that will change the way we do business in Government. As a former Liberal; I know that lie.

So, have I done enough?..No

Shall I do more?.. By all means...Teach your children well..
