• ANN COULTER: SHE NEVER REALLY WAS CONSERVATIVE

2012-01-25T22:24:00.000-08:00

I figured out Ann Coulter - and it's very clear what her deal is. She has been upheld as some conservative spokeswoman because she attacks liberals - liberals and leftists, which we agree are bad. But she does NOT affirm conservatism. She never really has. She's built her career on going after liberals and pointing out what they do wrong. But she's never been a true conservative. You can look through her book titles. Not one is about the values of conservatism.

The only reason she was thought to be conservative is because she goes on TV and radio shows, and writes columns and makes commentary on how bad liberalism is. And it is bad. But when it comes time to do something, she's a moderate at best.

The titles of her books tell it all:

(1998). High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton.
(2002). Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right.
(2003). Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.
(2004). How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter.
(2006). Godless: The Church of Liberalism.
(2007). If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans.
(2009). Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America.
(2011). Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.

Tom Deam I just read another link that practically said Perry was the devil. I'm so sick of conservatives believing the garbage that comes out every election about the candidates. Perry has a solid record in Texas just as Bush did and yet if you elect him the end of the world will come! Do they not realize that with Obama in the White House, the world as we know has already ended? We really need to pray for this guy because literally all of hell will try to stop this guy from becoming President!

Linda Ann Agree with you completely Tom...look at the post under this one here on my wall...that was my original post of this quote of Perry's with this photo.....it wasn't up for a minute and the attacks began....that's why I reposted this one....it's been like that all day...the conservative talk show hosts on the radio are also throwing Perry under the bus....meanwhile it's Obama and the Federal Govt who refuse to secure the border and for decades the Presidents before did the same...Rick Perry has a fine record and a lot of experience and Texas is thriving...people and business moving there in droves....Perry said the other day he has been through rough campaigns before..for a spell he said ;-) and he's had to catch a lot of javelins ....made me smile...so hopefully he will be our next President.

Cory Michael Sahar, I read the article and I do appreciate you providing me with an article to read, but the argument I'm getting from the read is "well Texas is just..different"...I don't find a coherent argument as to why in-state tuition should be given to illegals and the fact that Perry uses the "You don't have a heart" comment is pathetic at best. Not tomention that article comes DANGEROUSLY close to the "you're a racist" argument because no one is arguing against LEGAL immigration. Everyone on that stage understands and embraces LEGAL immigration. March, What you just quoted is what I JUST SAID PERRY SAID. That doesn't mean he supports the law it means he supports their right to do it.

Donna Davis because they were brought here by parents, they have attended schools there, grown up there, the federal government will not do their job and secure the borders or deport illegals, the meet the criteria and it promotes them to pursue legal residency and citizenship (which takes about 6 years) these border states are very unique indeed in that they have many decisions they are forced to make because of the failure of the fed, this vote passed the Tx legislature 177 YES TO 4 NO

Stace InTexas Cory, Perry had issue with ONE part of the AZ SB 1070. See our law enforcement told Perry they didnt' want to be part of immigration. They didn't want to have to check the legality of an individual before handling the criminality. They don't have a problem with checking legality after the criminality is dealt with though. Texas is one of 9 states that filed an amicus brief in support of AZ's SB 1070.

Stace InTexas Perry's stance on immigration? His stance on illegal immigration is the exact same as anyone on the stage last night. He wants the border secure first.

The in-state tuition is a state issue. 12 other states have it to. The federal government is forcing every state to give illegals a roof over their head, food, and health care. Not to mention the federal government is also busing illegals to our state from AZ and CA at 30k a pop. Texas has learned if they have an education, that THEY pay for, they get citizenship and are no longer on the government dole. It's financially more feasible for Texas.

It doesn't make it right because "it's a state issue"...I'm glad it's only a state issue and I don't trust Perry based on his past to deal with illegal immigration at the federal level at all. I suspect he'll be alot like Bush.

o
Stace InTexas Intolerable, Jimmy? Not one single tax payer dime goes to it.

1) In-state tuition is NOT FREE! It is a difference of paying a reduced tuition cost verses an out-of-state tuition cost. Example: $7,100 in-state vs. $17,000 out-of-state;

2) In-state tuition is for everyone who qualifies, no matter their race, color or creed;

3) To qualify, the individual must have:

a) lived in Texas the 3 years leading up to high school graduation or the receipt of a GED;

b) resided in Texas the year prior to enrollment in an institution of higher education;

c) if the student was not a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident, he/she must file an affidavit with his/her institution, indicating an intent to apply for Permanent Resident status as soon as able to do so;

4) In Texas, the number of immigrants receiving the reduced tuition is slightly under 1% of the all students at public universities and community colleges;

5) Texas is one of 12 states with in-state tuition: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin have similar in-state tuition laws for immigrants. In 2008, Oklahoma reversed it’s stance on allowing in-state tuition to immigrants.;

6) Governor Perry was not alone when this measure passed. The Texas Senate recorded NO “no” votes. Out of 181 legislators, only 4 voted against the measure.

7) Texas “Dream” act should not be confused with the federal version. The Texas version relates to higher education ONLY whereas the federal act would facilitate giving legal status to children who entered the U.S. illegally with their parents.

Gee Fergie I've travelled all along the border of Texas...down Interastate 10 from Texas to California...by no means does a fence work in texas...it's terrain differs from flat to mountainous, through farms and alongside cities. I lived by the southernmost part of texas...not but less than 2 miles from the river...it's practically a stream and when dry season, they can even drive pickup right through the river...matter of fact, there is a system drug lords have called "Carry and Crash" which means carry drugs through the river, if border patrols chase you...drive back through the river and crash truck...safe drugs...if they lose drugs, the carriers' butt is grass.

Stace InTexas Governor Perry signed a voter id bill and pushed a sanctuary city bill through regular and special session. Texas has allocated more than $400 million in state funding to secure the border since 2005. In the last legislative session alone, $152 million was earmarked for border security. Governor Perry ordered Texas Rangers to the border, has requested (numerous times) National Guard, drones and border fencing in metropolitan areas. Here is Governor Perry’s letter to BHO. : http://dig.abclocal.go.com/ktrk/ObamaBarack08092010.pdf

Too, Texas is one of 9 states that forwarded an amicus brief in support of AZ's SB 1070.

Texas has an estimated 2 million illegals, the second highest. California has the highest population of illegal immigrants. Texas shares 1254 MILES of border with Mexico. California shares approximately 160 miles of border with Mexico.

Texas is doing the best she can with what she has before her. If someone (ANYONE) has a better idea ~ gracious ~ Texas is certainly open to suggestions.

In the meantime, akin to every other state Texas is spending her tax dollars feeding, housing and providing health care on top of paying to secure her 1254 MILE border whereby protecting Texas as well as the other 49 states. Additionally, families not seeking financial assistance only helps our states bottom line.

Stace InTexas ‎) In-state tuition is NOT FREE! It is a difference of paying a reduced tuition cost verses an out-of-state tuition cost. Example: $7,100 in-state vs. $17,000 out-of-state;

2) In-state tuition is for everyone who qualifies, no matter their race, color or creed;

3) To qualify, the individual must have:

a) lived in Texas the 3 years leading up to high school graduation or the receipt of a GED;

b) resided in Texas the year prior to enrollment in an institution of higher education;

c) if the student was not a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident, he/she must file an affidavit with his/her institution, indicating an intent to apply for Permanent Resident status as soon as able to do so;

4) In Texas, the number of immigrants receiving the reduced tuition is slightly under 1% of the all students at public universities and community colleges;

5) Texas is one of 12 states with in-state tuition: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin have similar in-state tuition laws for immigrants. In 2008, Oklahoma reversed it’s stance on allowing in-state tuition to immigrants.;

6) Governor Perry was not alone when this measure passed. The Texas Senate recorded NO “no” votes. Out of 181 legislators, only 4 voted against the measure.

7) Texas “Dream” act should not be confused with the federal version. The Texas version relates to higher education ONLY whereas the federal act would facilitate giving legal status to children who entered the U.S. illegally with their parents.

Plug the borders, then deal with illegals here. Perry only can do what is best considering that OBAMA is not doing what he SHOULD.

Second: Sehar argued that he was illegal and got an eduction, and so therefore it's right. It's not right to give folks who are illegal a better price on tax payer funded schools than US citizens. Third, I don't care whether illegals are on a path to citizenship or not, until they are legal in this country, they should not get a better deal on state run schools than US citizens. That's it, pretty simple stuff.

Linda, I wasn't going to write this but you need to be corrected. First: It is wrong to give tuition discounts to people who are here illegally and for US citizens to pay more than illegals. Period. Second: Marc is a pipsqueak. He accused me of 'attacking' woman on your thread. I said women were strong enough to debate, but you proved me wrong. You are weak and you ran to hide behind a block. Third: Perry is going to fall behind Romney over this. It is ridiculous for you to support Perry in the instate tuition issue. He's wrong. Americans hate it. And Perry will suffer for it, rightfully so. Fourth: You and those on your thread who support instate tuition for illegals are listed on my profile so people can disconnect from you all if they wish. Fifth: Illegal aliens living in Texas are NOT Texas citizens! It's preposterous that you believe such crap. Lastly: We cannot win the election coming up with weak people like you who refuse to see the truth for what it is and react accordingly. I suggest you get back to baking cupcakes or whatever it was you were doing before you decided to try politics online.

• REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO DEFUND OBAMACARE

2011-02-15T12:02:00.000-08:00

Read carefully, and twice, so that you understand how serious this is:

"The House Rules Committee has rejected Rep. Steve King’s proposal to FULLY DEFUND ObamaCare, failing to agree to “protect” King’s amendment when it comes to the House floor. Bottom line — Republicans on the Rules Committee refused to play hardball to fully defund ObamaCare. By doing so, they are allowing Nancy Pelosi’s “mandatory” self-funding provisions which many say are unconscionable if not unconstitutional — to stand! This will force this Congress to approve most of the funding for ObamaCare."

Now, understand that we cannot repeal Obamacare until January 2013 at the earliest, assuming that Obama can be beaten on November 6, 2012. And, with a steady approval number of 50%, give or take, that's not going to be as easy as some of us had hoped.

But after two years of implementation and now funding, Obamacare would be nigh impossible to repeal. The law would have its tentacles reaching into our lives in so many ways, many Americans who now favor repeal would have changed their minds.

So, then you might say, we'll have to have it found unconstitutional. And that's another fine option of course, but again after two years of funding and implementing this monster, judges are going to be much more reluctant to just toss it out and cause all kinds of mayhem to a health care system that is being reworked in such great strides.

The thing to do, as I have said on my show for months, is to refuse to fund Obamacare. And so now you must be in contact with Republicans in the House, and especially on the Rules Committee. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. If you don't act now, you are allowing Obamacare to take shape. --Jz

• COMMENTARY: NEW BAN ON HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES?

2011-01-20T08:55:00.000-08:00

This comment was too long for the comments section on the show page, so I am posting it in its entirety here. Guest commentary is welcome; please write me via email and we'll make it happen. My friend Brian wrote the following. -Jz

Two days ago (18 Jan 11) on your show, your guest Matt said he would support a ban on high-capacity magazines and claimed they have no "sporting" purpose. He even went as far as say the average police beat officer had no use for such magazines and that they should be restricted to SWAT officers.

Most of the guns I have aren't for "sporting" purposes. I bought them for self-defense, i.e. for shooting people, not paper or Bambi.

What exactly does Matt consider a "high-capacity" magazine? If you ask most anti-gun pukes, who want all guns banned period, they'll tell you any magazine that hold more than 6 rounds should be banned.

The magazine used by the Arizona crackpot held 30-plus rounds. So what? Does anyone really think he couldn't have murdered just as many people with a 15-round magazine (Glock 19) or a 17-round magazine (Glock 17)? All it would have taken was a magazine change or two, which can be done fairly rapidly or at your leisure if you're shooting at unarmed people.

It should also be remembered that on 6 September 1949, WWII veteran Howard Unruh murdered 13 people with a 9mm German Lugar. The Lugar Unruh used in his rampage held 8 rounds and he had an extra 8 round magazine and 16 loose rounds in his pocket. (A rampage that was probably stopped when he was shot in the thigh by an armed citizen with a .38 revolver)

http://www.dvrbs.com/camden/CamdenNJ-HowardUnruh.htm

Matt claimed the average police beat officer has no use for "high-capacity" magazines and that they should only be used by SWAT officers. I think the beat officers during the 1997 Hollywood bank shootout would disagree. I would think the initial officers on scene at the Columbine massacre wished they had 30-round magazines on hand. High-capacity magazines are very useful when you're in a gunfight with armed assailants. There are also countless other times when officers' lives could have been saved if they had high-capacity magazines.

I know some SWAT officers personally, and while they would be somewhat disappointed that an incident be dealt with before they arrive, they would be relieved that the incident was terminated before to0 many innocent lives were lost.

Lastly, I don't trust any politician or anti-gun activist to tell me what type of gun to own, what type of ammunition or what type of magazine to carry in it.

Addendum: Suppose a `ban on "high capacity" magazines is passed. What happens after the next mass shooting, and there will be another mass shooting.

Will the anti-gun folks then try to limit magazines to five or six rounds, or will they try more restrictive restrictions?

Several years ago ago, I attended a discussion on the UN's plan to limit small arms at the Monterey Institute for International Studies. one of the attendees told me that sometimes the anti-gun lobby needs to propose a law they know will not reduce crime. That way, after it fails the public will accept more restrictive measures.

The anti-gun lobby will not stop at restricting "high capacity" magazines.

• THREE REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR HUGE TAX INCREASE

2010-12-12T22:22:00.000-08:00

RANT TRANSCRIPT AND VIDEO

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT: Let me share with you something that Dick Morris just wrote today. *sigh* You're just not going to believe this. I'm lost for words. Already, we have Republicans acting like they didn't hear a damn thing on November 2nd.

According to Dick Morris, "The formerly solid wall of Republican opposition to any tax increase has now already been - I added the word 'already' - it has already been breached, and it's up to us to repair it and plug it up. Three normally conservative Senators, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Mike Crapo of Idaho, and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire have voted in favor of the Bowles-Simpson Deficit Reduction Commission's recommendation for massive tax hikes.

"Coburn, Crapo and Gregg are laboring under the grand illusion that tax increases can reduce the deficit. In fact, the record is the exact opposite: Tax increases dampen economic growth." Dick writes here about everything we know about raising taxes. "Raising taxes never brings in the revenue its supposed to, and because higher taxes hurt the economy, higher taxes increase manditory entitlement spending on medicaid, welfare, unemployment compensation and food stamps, thereby eradicating spending cuts that may have accompanied them."

Now listen: "Coburn, Crapo and Gregg's vote endorses and sends to Congress a report that calls for a nine year tax hike of $1.3 trillion dollars, raising the federal tax burden permanently to 21% of GDP, as opposed to the average of 18% to date - that source is the Americans For Tax Reform. It even eliminates Congressional control over tax increases. They would become automatic after 2013, unless the commission's proposals are implemented."

And, wow. It even gets worse. "The commission calls for higher tax rates, reduction of indexing of tax brackets for inflation; it would raise the capital gains tax from 15% to 23%; it would raise social security taxes by up to 50% for taxpayers making up to or over $150,000 a year; it would double gasoline taxes..." Oh my God. "... and set the inheritance tax permanently at 45%."

Now, this is something we would expect from Democrats, but not Republicans. "Coburn, Crapo and Gregg have done great harm to our cause by endorsing the idea that a centrist approach of combining tax increases and spending cuts is the answer to our deficit. Their approach would lock in Obama's massive increase in government spending.

"When Obama took office, federal..." Listen to this: "Federal, state and local governments combined accounted for 35% of our economy. Now they are up to 45%, ahead of Britain and Germany. We must roll back the deficit through spending cuts, not ratify it through tax increases."

Let me say that again. "When Obama took office," this was only two years ago. "Federal, state and local governments combined accounted for 35% of our economy." That's already too high! And now, just in the time that Obama has been President, that has increased to 45%. Federal, state and local government account for forty-five... nearly half of our economy - is government! Holy mackerel, this has got to stop!

And these three Republicans vote for it?

Judd Gregg is retiring so he doesn't care. And Tom Coburn, and Crapo - what's his name? Mike Crapo, were just re-elected. "Neither said anything about endorsing big tax increases as soon as the ballots were cast. They hid their true intentions from us. Please drown Coburn and Crapo in letters and phone calls to protest their betrayal of our cause. We must make sure that they do not back these tax increases on the floor of the Senate, and that their defection does not encourage other RINOs to break ranks."

Boy I'll tell you, this pisses me off. So the link for Dick Morris' column is in my show notes. You can go here and get all the information on Tom Coburn and Mike Crapo. Addresses and phone numbers but let me give you a couple of phone numbers just in case you want to call, and you're listening to the show - you can pause the program if you're listening at TheJimmyZShow.com, and make the call.

The phone number for Tom Coburn: Area code 202-224-5754. The main phone number for Mike Crapo: Area code 202-224-6142. Those numbers are both in Washington DC, where these sons of bitches are right now. And don't talk to me about my language. [laughs] I am holding back big time. And if you want to call them in their home town offices, Tom Coburn: Area code 918-581-7651; Mike Crapo in Idaho: Area code 208-522-9779.

Let these bastards have it. I can't stand this anymore. We just got done with the election, a month ago - three days longer than a month ago. And these guys are already saying, no, we gotta have massive tax increases. I - I don't know what to say. [tapping fingers] And these are supposedly conservatives! What the hell is a RINO like John McCain going to do? John McCain, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe... Lindsey Graham... I guess they're all going to vote for this too.

Son of a bitch, I can't believe this. I'm sorry, I'm swearing I know but - believe me - there are a lot stronger words I'd like to use. You know, this kind of voting - by Republicans - is the best argument for a third party, and I don't know how you tell people who voted, trusting the Republicans one more time on November 2nd... And so many people told me, online, "Hey you know what? I have just had it with the Republicans but I'm going to give them one more chance. If they blow it this time, screw it, we gotta start the third party."

The Conservative Party or The Tea Party Party, whatever you want to call it, people want that third party now - because of this! Because of what we're seeing these Republicans do. Supposedly conservative Republicans voting for a $1.3 trillion tax increase! Playing into the hands of Obozo! This tax increase is exactly what the Democrats want! And we have conservative Republicans voting for it? Oh my God. I don't know what to say.

[laughs] I just want to go crazy! Blah! What the hell did we do on November 2nd? Weren't you listening? You bastards! Oh man. [laughs]

We're always going to have Democrats tell Americans we're going to have to raise taxes. That's what Democrats do. But if we have conservative Republicans going along with it, then maybe the two-party system really is out of date, and we can't trust Republicans at all.

Now I was arguing before the election that we had to give this to the Republicans because the Tea Party is pushing Republicans to the right, and that conservative Republicans generally understand what the American people want. And now you've got Coburn and Crapo and Gregg all voting in favor of a massive tax increase. I don't know how you tell people in the Tea Party now, "Don't start a third party. Third parties are losers," because I can't sit here and tell you that I can go along with the Republican party.

The Republican Party is either going to stand up for the principles that the American people demand, or the American people are just going to say, "Hey, to hell with you then, we're starting a third party." And I... Right now, I'm not arguing for a third party. But I don't know how to argue against it anymore.Not with this kind of crap. So, when I get done with the show today, I'm going to call these rat-bastards. I'll let them know exactly how I feel, and maybe I'll get online and send them a link to my show, so they can hear what I said if they want to.

But Tom Coburn? I just praised the guy for what he said. We listened to that sound byte in the first hour - and now everything I said is out the window. I was entirely wrong about the guy. He's a traitor. Same thing for Mike Crapo - a traitor. The people in Idaho especially, and the people of Oklahoma need to get on the phone and let this guy know. It's intollerable. We are not going to have you do this. I would rather have a democrat in there, because then I know: The Democrat is going to vote for higher taxes.

A conservative Republican like Tom Coburn, voting for this is a travesty. It is unacceptable. And I'm not going to sit here and put up with it. It's not going to happen. I'm Jimmy Z.

• BREAKING: SAN FRANCISCO TO BAN EVERYTHING

2010-11-13T11:39:00.000-08:00

San Francisco, CA -- The City of San Francisco City Council has announced its intention today to ban everything. Councilmember and Vice Mayor Kevin Mullin proposed the ban, saying that everything has been allowed for too long, and "it's time to start over and not allow any of anything."

Mayor Gavin Newsome has voiced reluctant support for the idea. "I feel that everything is a pretty big step, but it's better than doing nothing. Someone needs to start the era of prevention."

By banning everything, the City hopes to put an end to frustrating and endless problems. Mr. Mullin claims that banning everything could lead to the end of pollution, emphysema, infant mortality and hang nails. "Our hope is to end these things through banning things that lead to stuff happening."

One thing not included in banning everything is taxes. "Oh no, we'll need more taxes to enforce the ban on everything," said Councilmember Pedro Gonzales, a big supporter of the overall ban on everything.

"This ban is going to require a lot of enforcement. For instance, law enforcement will be required to keep an eye on everything now, because everything is banned," Gonzales said. "If someone opens a Taco Bell restaurant, which is a part of everything, the police will be there to remind the owner that everything - including fast food restaurants - has been banned."

Councilmember Karyl Matsumoto agreed. "It's just become too time consuming to ban one thing at a time. First we ban Happy Meal toys, and then we ban circumcision - it all becomes so tiring." Ms. Matsumoto sighs. "You know, we can save the taxpayers a lot of time by banning everything all at once. Then we can get back to doing the people's business."

Ms. Matsumoto won't go unaffected by the all encompassing ban. With everything banned she has found out that odd spellings of traditional names are banned. "That's true, I'm a little upset but I feel that spelling my name 'Carol' is a small price to pay for the good of San Franciscans. I can live with it."

Homosexuals in San Francisco are relieved to have found a loophole. Since banning everything includes a ban on anti-homosexual sentiment and a ban on homosexual behavior, the city claims the ban on everything cancels out the ban on homosexuality. "Logically, you can't ban both - they offset each other. So homosexuality is not a part of everything," said Mr. Mullin.

Other things included in the ban on everything are candy, children, belches, pencil lead, tires, plastic, insulation, eye shadow, heat, pets, clothing stores, joking around, shaving, carnival rides and greeting cards. Problems likely to be prevented, according to the City Council, are death, injury, disease, unhappiness and divorce.

• Economic 'Easing'

2010-11-07T11:00:00.000-08:00

I sent this article, an excellent write up on Fed Chairman Bernanke's continued and now downright scary Quantitative Easing, to Michael Stollaire.

He was kind enough to forward the following to me. Enjoy...

--Jz

Check out Jesse Ventura (former independent Minnesota Governor) and "Conspiracy Theory" on TruTV:

http://www.trutv.com/shows/conspiracy_theory/index.html

I watch it for the entertainment value, if anything, but check out the most recent episode about Wall Street, and the Rolling Stone article that's mentioned in it:

"Wall Street's Naked Swindle"

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/12697/64824

Between these two sources, you can see why The Fed has corrupted the American political system, and YES, I do agree that "Quantitative Easing" is simply an unsaid tax on the American people, as if $1 Trillion is printed, this means The Fed bought $1 Trillion in debt. Therefore, if $10 Trillion is in circulation, this created a 10% tax hike, and since The Fed is above the law, and outside the control of the US Government, the system of checks and balances created by The Founders, in order to protect We The People from thieves like Paulson, Geithner and Bernanke, etc. is completely avoided.

I believe that the most powerful person in the world is NOT The President of the USA, but instead THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

I would highly suggest watching the Zeitgeist films:

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

The stock market simply cannot grow in a linear fashion, and as such, it is necessary for "corrections" to transpire that purposefully decimate the market, meaning the DJIA, NASDAQ, etc. After Bear Stears went bankrupt, the DJIA went from 11000+ to around 6500 points, and now, we are back up to over 11000 points. Now, you can see how Wall Street just doubled-down on their money.

What do we do about it? We need representives in government positions that will crack down on Wall Street, instead of idiots like the Clintons who dismantle laws and regulations like Glass-Steagal (SP?) that prevent disasters like the housing bubble, and so forth.

Trump was on Fox and VanSusteren recently, saying the same thing, that we should not put up with price-fixing of OPEC, which would land Americans in federal prison, and China stealing our wealth, because we create bubbles, instead of MANUFACTURING EXCELLENT PRODUCTS. I really hate Trump, just like I think Ron Paul is a complete weirdo, but you can't argue with them about The Fed being poison, and what America needs to do to regain it's #1 economic status.

The truth is that we are only manufacturing "vapor paper" bubbles: the dot-com internet bubble, the housing bubble, and just wait until the $1.5 Quadrillion derivatives bubble bursts. Yes, that's $1,500,000,000,000,000 ~ a very big number, indeed. For America to survive, we need to manufacture and distribute TANGIBLE GOODS, and not rely on the technology sector to crank out more widgets like the iPad, etc.

Currently, we've got so much corruption in DC that when former Goldman employee, Paulson, says that he needs $800 Billion or America dies, they just do it, with no questions asked, no accountability, and the money just goes into the hands of bankrupt institutions like AIG, Goldman gets 100 cents on the dollar, and billions in bonuses are paid out. It's like playing roulette in Vegas, except you can bet on the double-zero all night, with no accountability, because the house pays you back every time you lose.

I think we've got a minimum of 3-4 election cycles that have to consecutively elect individuals like Rubio and Rand Paul for us to even have the slightest chance of recovery.

• The Coming Storm - What It Means

2010-10-05T09:03:00.000-07:00

In 2008, I made a statement I was vilified for by Conservatives and Republicans. I stated that the idea of a Barack Obama presidency was horrible but not as horrible as the idea of a John McCain presidency. My reasoning was simple. With either man as President of the United States, the socialist ascendancy of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would continue to destroy the country- as it has since January of 2007. In an article quoted by All-American Blogger, I stated that a McCain Presidency would not move the Conservative message forward while an Obama Presidency would do just that.

Here I am today saying "see, I told ya so"

The victory of Democrats in 2006 and 2008 was manufactured by their own malevolence. It was Democrats and liberals who sabotaged the Iraq war, destroyed the economy and brought about the era of Wall Street bailouts and exploding deficits. The Democrats were masterful at creating these crises and shifting all the blame for them to George W Bush. George W. Bush and the Republicans had the deficit down to $165 Billion,unemployment down to 4.4%, gasoline down to $2.19 a gallon and the Dow up to 14,500. America looks wistfully at such numbers today.

In Bush's second term, his failure was not that he was too conservative, it was that he was not conservative enough. His undoing was not his unwillingness to reach across the aisle but his willingness to. Can anyone doubt that John McCain would have matched (or even accelerated) this acquiescence? John McCain was all about "compromise". McCain-Feingold, McCain-Liebermann, McCain- Kennedy. Ask yourself which party got the better of those deals?

McCain compromise with the Pelosi-Reid congress would have been- to paraphrase Ben Franklin- two wolves and a sheep decided what is for dinner. Even, on the rare occasions that McCain dared to stand up for Conservatism, could he have hoped to sway public opinion? Could he have hoped to get his agenda through such a rabidly corrupt and partisan Democratic congress? No. Americans had drunk the hope/change koolaid by the quart. large swaths of the country were ready to anoint Obama the new Messiah. Had McCain managed a miraculous upset victory, how could he have possibly escaped being the scapegoat for the soaring deficits and hemorrhaging jobs.

Conservatism was not on the ballot in 2008 but Conservatism would certainly have been the scapegoat. The only reason blaming our current ills on the Republican leadership have failed is because America could see-quite clearly- that no Republicans were in the leadership. Can't you see, It was necessary to give the Socialists total control in order that their masks be taken off and a stupid public be awakened to their true agenda

Sarah Palin put it best. "So, tell me America, how is that hopey, changey thing working out for you?"

America now knows what true Socialism now looks like. Now, we finally have our chance to get this right. 2010 has not been a two-way battle between Democratism and Republicanism. It is a 3 way battle between Democratism, Republicanism and Conservatism. Make no mistake, Conservatism is winning the day.

That is what this approaching storm is about and it is breathtaking to watch. Millions of Conservatives have risen up in one voice to purge the Liberals but outside and inside the Republican party. When John McCain said those now famous words that we don't have to be scared of an Obama presidency, Conservatives saw more evidence of a GOP out of touch and that before we can take our country back, we have to take our party back.

This storm represents a full-fledged revolt by Conservatives and the last chance for the GOP to right the ship. If the new Republican majority behaves anything like the last Republican majority, they will be kicked out just as quickly. The American people are demanding Conservative governance. This is not just another cyclical purge, this is something historic. This is going to be a genuine political realignment.

GOVERNORSHIPS

The long term effect of the coming storm will be felt right here. When all is over, the GOP will control between 30 and 35 of the Nation's 50 Governorships. It is here- not the Senate or House- that we will have our strongest firewall against Obama. It is here- not the Senate or the House- where the success of Conservative Governance will continue to be displayed. Finally, it is here- not the House or Senate- where the ground game will begin that will rout Obama and the Democrats in 2012, leading to a Republican Presidency and a filibuster-proof Senate majority.

In 2009, the GOP gained three Governorships- Jan Brewer in Arizona, Bob McDonnell in Virginia and Chris Christie in New Jersey. The courage and leadership they have shown has been amazing. In 2010, they are going to get a lot of help. In addition to holding Florida- the #1 Battleground State- Republicans are poised to pick up the states at #2, #3 and #4. With Republican Governors in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, Obama's reelection hopes would be bleak enough.However, when you also add Wisconsin, Iowa and New Mexico, the levers of realignment from the 2010 census tip remarkably in our favor.

Republicans won't stop there. Tennessee, Wyoming, Kansas, Illinois, Oregon and Maine will all replace Democrats with Republicans. New York, Maine and Massachucetts are not out of reach either. California could be an important hold because Meg Whitman would move the state well to the right of the Governator. Add to that Mitch Daniels, who is already doing a superb job in Indiana and the beginnings of a Conservative dynasty are easy to see. This could really be the beginning of the end for liberalism.

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Liberal predictions of a Democratic defense of the house are delusional. If you look at the current projections of safe seats on Real Clear Politics, they show a 17 point Republican advantage with 38 tossups. In a normal election year, the two parties would each be expected to win 19 and lose 19 of the tossups. This would put the new congress at a 226-209 Republican majority. That alone would be a loss of 48 seats for the Democrats.

This is no ordinary year. Republican primary participation is the highest in 40 years. The Republicans had more votes than Democrats for the first time in 80 years and the Democratic participation was the lowest ever. The Republican lead in the Generic ballot has been as high as 12 points - the highest ever- and the GOP enthusiasm gap is off the charts. It is highly unlikely that the Republicans will win only 19 of these 38 races. A safer bet is that they will win 28 or better. The conservative end of that scale puts Democratic losses at 60 seats or more. Even that doesn't tell the whole story. So deep is this wave that it is even reaching races that pollsters didn't even think about polling and- almost daily- the list of vulnerable democrats grows.

In January of this year, the Cook Political report listed 39 Democratic House seats as vulnerable. In May, the number had grown to 63. Today, it stands at 79. However, Dick Morris and others believe the true number is much higher. In fact, Morris has gone on record as saying that Democratic losses could break the record of 74 set in 1922, and could even reach 100 seats.

Whether we can reach 100 seats or not, I don't know. Yet, I think I can predict-with confidence- that Democrats will not only not defend the House but will not come within 20 seats of defending it. The Republican majority in January of 2011 will be larger than the one they had in January of 2005.

THE SENATE

Whether or not the GOP will have a Senate Majority in January of 2011, I cannot be certain. If not, they will be very close. Republicans will emerge with no fewer than 49 seats and no more than 55. The median result of 52 is entirely plausible. Republicans will defend all of their own seats- including Florida. In addition, they will pickup Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Colorado, to go along with their Massachusetts pickup in January. Despite her struggles, I am confident that Sharron Angle will also knock off Harry Reid in Nevada.

If Angle does indeed win, it would be the 50th seat and we would need to knock off one more seat from among California, Connecticut, Washington, New York and Delaware. Stealing one of those races is plausible. Two? Unlikely.Three? That is just pressing our luck.

Sharron Angle must beat Harry Reid to keep us in the game. Plus, Reid has just got to go, anyway.

If Angle can get us to 50, Dino Rossi (Washington) followed by McMahon (Connecticut) and Fiorina (California) gives us best chance at 51. Whether or not the GOP reaches a senate majority this year, they are certain to have one in January of 2013, perhaps even a filibuster proof majority. 23 Democrats have to defend in 2012.

OF WILL AND MEANS

Once the GOP takes back the reins in Congress, Governorships and State Legislatures, the must resist the temptation to reach across the aisles. Republicans must have the strong will to bring back Conservative governance- to restore morality and fiscal sanity and to not just stop, but reverse, the relentless march of oppressive government. This could very well be the last chance we have to save this country - God willing.

• A Look At The Senate Four Weeks Out

2010-10-05T08:58:00.000-07:00

Can we hit 10 out of 14?

That is the question that will decide whether or not we will win the Senate. Before I go into detail, it is important to marvel at just how incredible it is that we are even having this conversation. That is a conversation that must be had because, should we fall short of taking the senate (a real possibility), Democrats will claim it showed that GOP momentum was not as strong as advertised.

That dog don't hunt.

January 2009

In 2009, when Barack Obama took power, the Republicans were still retiring and bleeding. The idea that even one Democrat was in danger was not even discussed. In fact, the only argument was how many more Republicans would lose. Let me repeat this. In January of 2009, the only discussion was how much worse things would get for Republicans. Additional Republican losses were assumed, not speculated. There was no question of 'if' only of 'how many'?

How many?

From the Democratic perspective, Arlen Specter's party switch was further proof of a permanent Democratic ascendancy. He provided them with a filibuster-proof 60th vote in the Senate and it was guaranteed they would add 2-5 more seats in 2010.

The minimum was 2 because Kentucky's Jim Bunning was very unpopular as was George Voinovich in Ohio. However, Democrats were more than confident they would pick up New Hampshire, Missouri and North Carolina as well. It must be understood that if the election were held in January 2009, the Dems would probably have picked up all 5 seats.

Then to now

The minimum gains the GOP will make in the Senate is 9 seats. (Scott Brown's January win + 8 more in November). The Maximum is 15 (Brown +14).

That means the REAL GOP gains- the picked up seats plus the ones that came back from the dead- means that the GOP's actual position will have improved by between 14 and 20 seats. This was unthinkable a year ago. Only by an incredible 6 special elections being added, did that change.

The death of Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd, the corruption of Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan, the appointments of Hillary Clinton and Ken Salazar, the wholesale collapse of Obama and the Democrats and the rise of the Tea party have all contributed to the change. The change has been amazing. The sheer scope of changing circumstances bringing us to here is just mind-boggling.

So, looking at the 14 additional races we could pick up. We will go least likely to most likely. Remember, we need 10 of these for a takeover.

The "we need a break" group.

Though it is very doubtful that we can win these 4 races, Senate control may very well depend on us picking off 1 of these races. If we take 2 or more, we are virtually assured of control.

14. Delaware.
This race went from a Democratic lock to a Republican lock back to a Democratic lock. It remains to be seen if it can bounce back again. This was Joe Biden's seat for 36 years. Why are the dems attacking Christine O'Donnell so viciously? It is very simple. If the Dems cannot hold this seat, they cannot hope to hold the Senate because-given the size of a wave that indicates- other races will fall too..

13. New York.
If we lose this race, it is the biggest missed opportunity this year. Kirsten Gillibrand has always been vulnerable. Republicans waited far too long to get in this race. It is hard to imagine what they were waiting for. This is the special election to permanently replace Hillary Clinton. Is Joe Dioguardia strong enough to beat her in this environment? Without question. Does he have enough time? We will see. He has already taken 10 points off her lead.

12. California
This race has been back and forth and I keep waiting for Carly Fiorina to take control over Barbara Boxer. She hasn't yet but I still think she will. This race threatens to be the fish that got away.

11. Connecticut.
Linda McMahon is closing fast on Richard Blumenthal She is still down slightly but, unlike the California race, the trend is our friend in the race to replace scumbag Chris Dodd.
Obviously, if we go 0-4 in the previous 4, the remaining races are all must wins. More than likely, we will slip up somewhere. These are the two races most likely to make us need a steal in the 11-14 group.

10. Washington
Unfortunately, Dino Rossi is the most likely slip up. Even when he wins, he loses. In the 2004 Gubernatorial race, Democrats in the State of Washington, and their willing accomplices in the courts, stole the race from Rossi by simply recounting and recounting until they were able to find enough ballots to win. Democrats repeated this feat in the Minnesota senate race. Does anyone doubt that Rossi must beat Patty Murray by at least 2% for his win to count?

9. Nevada.
This was once the surest pickup in America. Now, it is tenuous at best. What Nevada Republicans and Independents were thinking when they nominated Sharron Angle is a mystery to me. Harry Reid has 100% name i.d. and would be down by 20 points if Sue Lowden were the
nominee, we would have no chance of losing. However, without Harry Reid as the target, we would have no chance of winning. Harry Reid has to defend his spot as one of the heads on the three-headed monster. I believe this race will ultimately be decided as a race between Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell for majority leader. I think this race breaks to us at the end and Angle eeks out a small victory.

The We look good group.

8. West Virginia.
This race is billed as Joe Manchin's popularity vs Obama's unpopularity. Manchin is losing the race. What's more? He losing to a guy who only got 36% of the vote in 2006. John Raese might as well not be on the ballot. The RNC is just hammering Manchin as a rubber stamp for Obama's cap and trade plans that would kill West Virginia coal. The ads are working to devastating effect. I think we have this race locked down. It may sound crass but without Robert Byrd croaking (and Kennedy before him), we would not be able to pick up the senate.

7. Illinois.
The numbers Republican Mark Kirk are putting up are not so impressive. However, it is hard to fathom that Alexi Giannoulias is only polling 41% defending Barack Obama's Senate seat. A defacto incumbent polling 41% in a two-way race is TOAST. Consider this. In 2004, Barack Obama won this race by 43 points. Even a 1 point Kirk win would be a 44 point swing in the President's own state. Do I need say more?

6. Colorado.
A true battleground all year but now Ken Buck is up to an 8 point lead over Michael Bennett and pulling away.

5. Wisconsin.
Russ Feingold is getting his clock cleaned by unknown Ron Johnson.

4. Pennsylvania.
Addition by subtraction. Arlen Specter's party jump was such a gift. Now, Conservative Pat Toomey is on his way to Washington.

3. Indiana.
Brad Ellsworth is being destroyed by Dan Coats and this state is coming back to the safe red column.

2. Arkansas.
John Boozeman has a modest 38 point lead over Blanche Lincoln in the land of Clinton.

1. North Dakota.
Byron Dorgan got out of the way of a run away train by retiring. The Republican governor John Hoeven is ahead by 43. I think he is safe.

• What is it about the 'Tea Party' that makes me uncomfortable?

2010-09-18T08:17:00.000-07:00

I have been trying to understand what it is about the Tea Party that bothers me. I have been aware that I react negatively to news stories on radio and TV about Tea Party activism in the various elections, and that I need to know why that was happening.

Sure, I've been bothered by the anger I see in conservatives online. There's a difference between healthy anger, righteous anger, and just being emotionally out of control. People responding to an article about Obama, for instance, will just say, "F Obama, get him out of there" or about conservatism, "If you don't like the Tea Party, get the F out of the way", stuff like that.

We have to be a little more convincing than that! You certainly aren't like that - There's a way to say "F Obama" with evidence and being thoughtful about it. We have to convince others to vote for our candidates too, not just the right wingers. We can't win on our own. We have to be attractive, considerate, convincing.

Ultimately, the Tea Party
cannot save this country.

But what really bugs me, and I've been trying to figure out why I don't like the Tea Party as a whole, is really two fold. One we've talked about - I think that the media is beginning to use the 'Tea Party' against us, because we made it easy for them. All they talk about is Tea Party this and Tea Party that, but it's so much bigger than 'Tea Party'. Its not simply about changing government back - to being 'opposite of Obama'. And the media is talking a lot about how the election is not as much about great conservative candidates as it is about how much America hates Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their left wing agenda.

What our movement is about is the Constitution. We want our lives, and our laws, and our representatives in our state capitols and in Washington DC to be based on and adherent to the United States Constitution!

We need to be so much better than "through Obama out" - because if all we are is "vote for us because we're not Obama", we won't end up accomplishing much and in 2012 we'll end up losing our shirts again.

The second reason I have a problem with the 'Tea Party', and this is far more important, is that I don't see a lot of Tea Party proponents - either those activists in the Tea Party organizations or the candidates - talking about how far this nation has strayed from God. Sure, you and I talk about it, and some people like Franklin Graham will talk on TV about it, but where is this message from the Tea Party activists and their endorsed candidates? We need them to speak this message all the time, because without God and our nation depending on Him to save us and protect us, all of this work will have gone nowhere.

I see a lot of conservatives touting the Tea Party on TV; on Fox News shows and other programs like the Sunday morning talk shows, talking about Tea Partiers from the right perspective and from the left perspective, and very rarely if ever does anyone point out that this nation was founded by Godly men, on Godly, Biblical principles, and if we don't get back to that, we won't get back to where we want to be. And that's why I am still uncomfortable with the Tea Party.

Because ultimately the Tea Party cannot save this country. All of the Americans' fervor over the Tea Party, and boasting about how the Tea Party candidates won in the Delaware and New Hampshire primaries, is meaningless unless everyone is thanking God for these victories. It's not just "we the people". We the people can't do squat in and of ourselves. It is "we the people and the God of the Bible" that will get it done.

• Activists Clash with Fountain Valley School Board

2010-07-24T21:24:00.000-07:00

by Al Rowley
July 23, 2010

Newt Gingrich said it right. "America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.....The time to take a stand is now!"

Well over 100 citizens did just this at the monthly meeting of the Fountain Valley School District board meeting Thursday evening, July 22. A Resolution had been placed on the Agenda to accept and approve the use of some supplementary instructional material which would provide additional important information and correct some of the mis-information regarding Islam contained in the seventh grade textbook "World History - Medieval to Modern Times". published in 1996 by Holt, Rinehart Winston which is used in this and many other school districts.

The supplementary information has just recently been developed by an advisory board of Textbook Alert, a group of college and university academics who are well aware of the extent to which grade 7 History & Social Studies texts used across the nation have been intentionally propagandized to present a sanitized sugar-coated mis-leading portrayal of Islam and Islamic History, primarily through the efforts of an Islamc activist group, the Council on Islamic Education.

This Council, founded and directed by a Muslim immigrant, Shabbir Mansuri, who holds neither a college degree nor academic qualifications as a historian, educator, or theologian, has been working at this since 1990 by lobbying State Departments of Education to remove anything critical of Islam from their curriculum frameworks and even convincing textbook publishers that his group must be allowed to edit their pre-publication textbook drafts to make sure that nothing offensive to Muslims is present which might impede their adoption by any state or local adoption committee. All major publishers seem to have acquiesced, and several texts even list him as a co-author or consultant. The reason this agenda item was introduced at the Fountain Valley School District is because this District has been providing office space for this Council on Islamic Education since 1993...a relationship which is considered highly inappropriate by many.

An overflow crowd of well over 100 filled the board room and 20 speakers took the opportunity to address the Board during the "public comments" period. While the Board normally allows 4 minute per speaker, Board President Tony McComb surprised those who had signed up to address the Board by arbitrarily announcing they would be limited to two minutes, so many opinions from the public were obviously and intentionally not permitted to be expressed or heard.

Only one speaker, a Fountain Valley High School coach, spoke against the resolution. He voiced his opinion that the kids really seem to be learning all they need to about Islam and he feels there is no need for any supplementary material. A significant number of the other speakers were immigrants from Muslim countries where they have had first-hand experience with Islam and sharia law, some as Muslims, some as persecuted non-Muslims minorities. One of them, a 13 year old 8th grader reported much of what he had been taught in the 7th grade about Islam here was simply not true. The fervent and highly emotional expressions of these speakers brought intense vocal responses and applause from the supportive audience; to the extent that the Board President requested that there be no audible response until each had finished their remarks and that it then be limited to clapping only. It was not lost on the audience that he had not only cut the speakers time in half but also tried to silence even their own expressions of support.

One speaker, noting that the public part of the meeting seemed not to have started with the Pledge of Allegiance invited all to stand and join him in the Pledge. While the audience did, the Board sat and watched uncomfortably until finally one by one some reluctantly rose and joined in.

A former Muslim Iranian Navy Captain, once in charge of all training for the entire Iranian Navy, warned the Board about the intentions of Islam to conquer the entire world and force it to submit to Allah and sharia law.

A member and immediate past president of the Board of the Anaheim Union High School District, Orange Counties largest high school district, admonished board members for not even making eye contact with the speakers and assured them that her board would have passed the resolution and adopted the Supplement without delay. Several Muslims and ex-Muslims warned the board about the true intentions of Islam to conquer America and how it is laying the foundations for conquest by brain-washing America's youth so they will willingly accept Islam.

We know of no law or State Education
Code requiring that 'supplementary
instructional materials' (which this
clearly was) must be vetted and
adopted by any state agency

A member of ACT! for America informed the Board that while ACT! had provided input at two public hearings of the California Curriculum Frameworks Committee, in Sacramento which could well have resulted in changes to the next generation of History books scheduled for 2012, but that State budget cuts have forced the cancellation of all further work on new textbooks for 2012. As a result schools may be forced to continue using their existing flawed texts until possibly 2018 or later. He stressed that the need for correcting supplemental material thus becomes especially critical and important.

A substantial number of the audience remained for over 3 hours until the very end of the meeting when the Board finally addressed the issue of the Resolution. Asked by the Board President to each express their feelings about the Resolution and the supplemental material, none refuted the information therein, but one after another their almost identical objections came forth: Judith Edwards voiced her opinion that any supplemental materials must come down from the State, Ian Collins announced "There is a procedure..." without ever explaining what it was. Christine Alcorn insisted that "this must be done at the State level." New Board member Nicola Weiss echoed. "We must follow proper procedures". Board President Tony McComb mumbled something about not having the procedures or authority to adopt supplemental materials. Several mentioned the fact that the Board couldn't very well adopt supplementary information for one group because then they might have to do it for others as well. The Board then decided that the Resolution, which had apparently only been on the agenda as an "Information item" was not important enough to be placed on the next agenda for further consideration as an "action item". By doing so they have deemed it not even worth further consideration and simply tossed it into the trash can.

The SRO audience was composed of an interesting spectrum of the community. A number were local residents of Fountain Valley, A number were immigrants from Islamic countries who are obviously very concerned about what is being taught to our children about Islam. A number were members of various ACT! for America chapters in the area. The Resolution had been drafted by a well-informed Fountain Valley parent, Steve Jackson, who is not an ACT! member.

There were about a dozen Muslims standing outside in the parking lot near the entrance before the meeting, but they were not seen accosting anyone or entering the Board Room at any time. One attendee suggested, "They probably didn't need to as they knew it was a done deal".

This may well have been the case. The fact that the entire 5 member board, presented with overwhelming community concern and evidence that their grade 7 History textbook contains erroneous and propagandized information about Islam, and also provided with a creditable piece of supplementary instructional material which could balance and correct this AT NO COST, and then unanimously reject it ... all for the very same reasons ... seems strongly to indicate that this issue had probably been decided before the meeting.

We think the Board has also lied. Either that or they have been badly mis-informed by their Superintendent. We know of no law or State Education Code requiring that "supplementary instructional materials" (which this clearly was) must be vetted and adopted by any state agency. Most all California school boards have a written board policy regarding the introduction and use of supplementary instructional materials. We'll wager that these need not be State adopted. We find that Fountain Valley School District also has such a Board Policy No. 6161.11, We will be getting it and we plan to review it closely.

As noted, there seemed to be no Muslim protestors present. A 4-column article announcing the board meeting entitled "Activists Clash Over History Text" which appeared in the morning's Orange Country Register included comments by the local CAIR leader and Shabbir Mansuri, founding director of the Council on Islamic Education, so obviously Muslims knew about the meeting and could have turned out in large numbers.

It appears that the Fountain Valley School Board and Superintendent Marc Ecker indeed fit Newt Gingrich's description of "willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could".

Meanwhile, The O.C. Register's version of last night's board meeting, which didn't seem to make it into this morning's edition, is now up on their web page. You can view it at

You can also send in comments. Their reporter obviously viewed the meeting a bit differently than I did.

• ON TEA PARTY IMPLOSION:

2010-07-22T11:18:00.000-07:00

YES, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

On my Tuesday show, I read reports about Mark Williams (I DO think his letter crossed a line), the Tea Party Express and the Tea Party Federation, led by David Webb who was acting quite like a tea party 'leader' when he 'booted' Mark Williams and the TP Express from the 'Federation'. http://thejimmyzshow.blogspot.com/2010/07/jimmy-z-tuesday-show.html

I've seen the tape of David Webb, proudly telling Ben Jealous of the NAACP that he had booted Williams and the Tea Party Express. This is as wrong headed as the NAACP forcing Shirley Sherrod out BEFORE they looked into the entire video. David Webb is not THE leader of the Tea Party, but he sure enough seems to want to be seen in that light.

FACTIONS AND FOCUS

"Let them vent?" We have just a little over three months before the election. This is hardly the time to vent. Maybe these 'leaders' should be looking past their differences for a time, and show a smart camaraderie from now until election day. We need as much kinship and we can get right now. The opposition is about to unleash a heaping helping of attack ads, hate speech and dirty - real dirty! - campaigning, and we do not have time to vent and separate. We have to come together like never before.

What I said on my show months ago is more true than ever - the Tea Party is a term, not an organization. It combines many organizations. ResistNet isn't a 'member' of a Tea Party organization as much as it is a member of the Tea Party movement. Call it the Constitutional movement; call it the Back to our Foundation movement; call it the Freedom and Liberty movement ... or call it the Tea Party movement - but the NAME is not important. The GOALS are.

We ought not lose our focus. The media is going to do a lot more of this. They are going to celebrate the Tea Party as long as the Tea Party is eating its own. Watch Face the Nation, at the 13:30 minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QHaHiCU9Co David Webb is playing along with the major media. He didn't talk over any of this is private with the Tea Party Express. He didn't bring Mark Williams into his office or get him on the phone and have a long talk first.

DEMOCRATS, DISAGREEMENT & SOLIDARITY

Might they have come to an agreement for an apology and come together? Wouldn't that have been better? This was clearly a move to exhibit POWER on Mr. Webb's part.

Would democrats and liberals have done this to themselves? Of COURSE NOT!! They would have had a press conference and taken the time to show that they are still working together; that Mr. Williams will apologize for the letter, but that their goals and political agenda is more important than a fictional letter to President Lincoln which may have crossed the line of good taste.

Ben Jealous of the NAACP got exactly
what he wanted all along - division
in the ranks of the Tea Party movement -
something we cannot afford to give him.

I get so damn tired of conservatives cutting each other down and battling with each other at times like this. And I have to ask, because 'race' is a major part of this issue: Is it possible that one reason Mr. Webb felt it necessary to immediately and without further discussion boot Mr. Williams (and since The Express was not willing to immediately do so, Mr. Webb immediately booted the entire Tea Party Express) is because Mr. Webb is African American? I'm not questioning his conservatism. I am questioning his judgment here, just three months and one week before the mid term elections.

RACE RELATIONS, BAITING

Conservatives do not see race. That's part of what makes us great - we DO believe in Martin Luther King's dream of judging people by the content of their character - not the color of their skin. And by the way, the reason liberals judge people based on the color of their skin is because liberals lack character - that's the last thing they want to be judged on!

letter racist? letter outrageous? enough to boot him? is the letter truly racist?

I read the entire 'letter to Lincoln' on my show this week. I didn't like it; I think it was offensive. I also believe Mr. Williams showed poor judgment writing it even while the democrats had already begun their 'tea partiers are racist' campaign. The timing of Mr. Williams' satire could not have been worse.

Still, with all of that being said, the letter called for a meeting. Mr. Webb and Mr. Williams and perhaps others from the 'Federation' and the 'Express'. They should have come together with an understanding - and explained in detail what the letter to Lincoln was trying to illustrate.

THE DAMAGE DONE

Now, thanks to Mr. Webb - a Tea Party activist no less - the letter is forever an example of racism within the conservative movement. And Ben Jealous of the NAACP got exactly what he wanted all along - division in the ranks of the Tea Party movement - something we cannot afford to give him.

ON PARTIES, MOVEMENTS AND LEADERSHIP

On of the things that so many folks in the Tea Party movement do not understand is that, until the Tea Party has organized and agreed to a leader, many people will see their opportunity to become a leader. And that's not necessarily evil - it's pretty much natural for some to want to lead. I'll be honest, that's why I started the Jimmy Z Show on my own web site - I wanted to 'lead' myself, and not have to be a part of someone else's plan or leadership.

The Tea Party suffers now, a short time before the mid terms, because it had no leadership. The NAACP is a different animal altogether - a group with a mission and a leader in Ben Jealous, and so that's why Face The Nation needed a Tea Party 'leader' to discuss the issue with Jealous. They got David Webb, and to be honest, I don't remember hearing of him before.

The Tea Party Express has been arguably the best known Tea Party organization, for it's bus tours and rallies all around the country. To cut them down and boot them in a very public manner is inexcusable. [To be fair, it is relevant for you to know that I have criticized the Express for being a 'for profit' organization who has made a fair amount of money for its parent company over the course of time].

We have a lot of work to do, and at this point in time, we do not have time to 'let them vent' or 'throw wheat to the wind'. We have a country to save, damnit, and this battle between factions within our movement is doing nothing but delighting our political enemies.

I welcome your comments - here of course, or on my show page at http://thejimmyzshow.com, or at thejimmyzshow@gmail.com, or anytime, 24/7 at 714-90-JZJZ-1.

REBUTTAL TO MY NRA RANT

2010-06-18T08:09:00.000-07:00

20% of Union members are also NRA members. These members helped elect George W. Bush in 2000. (Zogby International, 2000

In rebuttal to Jimmy Z:

Some views from the other side….

Here from the NRA: http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/NewsReleases.aspx?id=13902

And: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=5888

And the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/16/AR2010061605341.html

"What the NRA has managed to do is turn an issue about life and death into an issue of pure politics," Rand said. "They've done it by pushing this myth that they are much more powerful than they really are." (It’s Not a myth)

And the OpenSecretsblog: http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/06/disclose-act-exemptions-for-the-nra.html

And on the “lighter” side: From the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, I think you will enjoy this:

In Summary:
The way we, Jauntos and Trixie, sees it…they (the NRA) are “in bed” with the left solely for the reason of maintaining 1st Amendment rights for NRA members and because Reid, the RED, supports the 2nd Amendment which is ALL that NRA cares about, the members rights. That’s what we pay the dues for, not just the cool magazine. “Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer”.

The rest of it goes the way of the ballot for everyone, including NRA members. We just have someone on the inside looking out for us. Pelosi and Reid will be gone in November anyway.
AND I’m keeping my Life Membership. (so there‼)

And, by the way, I think you should have read more of the first rebuttal comment to Eric’s blather. But it IS your show, right?

Off Topic… I think that Arizona sign is a good idea if nothing else but to SHAME that wanna be Kenyan President and their so-called Senator (aka Wrong-way- J) into some sort of action.

Jan Brewer For President‼ Bobby Jindal For Vice-President‼ or vice-a-versa.

The Father of the Euro discusses Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), which can effectively replace the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency ~ a forerunner of a global monetary system:

http://www.livetradingnews.com/robert-mundell-the-father-of-the-euro-says-chinese-yuan-is-counterpart-to-us-dollar-13437.htm

This discusses the merit of creating a "currency basket" that will diversify the revenue, and why a world currency in the form of SDRs, will offset risk ~ this being "proven" in the decline of the USD, Euro, Yuan, etc.

Obama discussing the merit of Global Governance and a New World Order with West Point Cadets, etc.:

European Integration as a Region State, replacing Nation States, like the USA:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_integration

How the EU was started decades ago, with The Father of the Euro admitting in his memoirs before passing away, that the treaties, economic ties, etc. were forerunners of the long-term plan of uniting Europe into a single regional state with a single currency:

This transfer of national powers to a "Community" to be exercised by its Commission was paralled under the 1957 Treaty of Rome establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (or Euroatom) and the European Economic Community (EEC) in Brussels.

In 1967, the Merger Treaty (or Brussels Treaty) combine the institutions of the ECSC and Euratom into that of the EEC. They already shared a Parliamentary Assembly and Courts. Collectively they were known as the European Communities. In 1987, the Single European Act (SEA) was the first major revision of the Treaty of Rome that formally established the single European market and the European Political Cooperation. The Communities still had independent personalities although were increasingly integrated, and over the years were transformed into what is now called the European Union.

• INSINUATING VIOLENCE

2010-04-11T22:43:00.000-07:00

Did you ever notice that big talkers are usually real cowards?

I have grown more and more disgusted with people (esp lately on Facebook) who declare their love of country and the Second Amendment by letting everyone know that they have their arsenal of weapons and a huge cache of ammunition -- and by God, they're read to use it.

I recall one particularly crazy person saying that we have come to a point where there is 'only one thing left to do!' Of course, he didn't say what the one thing was, but since the health care monstrosity was going to be force upon the American people, there was no 'only one thing left to do.'

Of course, I understand the frustration many Americans feel. President Barack Obama isn't just making some mistakes that leftists and socialist-democrats (intentional small case 'd') are taking advantage of.

I believe that Mr. Obama really does hate this country, insofar as what he has been trained to believe. Mr. Obama is the ultimate realization of a thorough indoctrination. He is the clumination of decades of communists, working behind the scenes, waiting for the perfect storm of American voter ignorance to change this country forever into socialist mediocrity.

As I discussed on my show on Friday (April 9th thejimmyzshow.com), Americans opened the door for this kind of godless attack on our Constitution by spending years avoiding our country's deep religious heritage. And that's a big issue for another column.

So, clearly, the country is in deep trouble, and Mr. Obama, along with the likes of the most compliant, cowardly band of spineless democrat losers we have ever seen in power in DC, is working as hard as he can for George Soros and Bill Ayers to turn us into another European styled socialist-democracy (if there is such a thing). And if he succeeds, the entire world will succumb to economic and moral disaster.

We really are the world's last, great hope.

I get that. I understand the desperation that many people feel. But when someone like Mr. 'Nothing Left to Do' won't say what he means, and mean what he says, he's really said nothing. I pushed of course - is it blood in the streets you are working toward? Is it a full blown war and attack on Washington DC you want?

Because if you're not willing to say it on Facebook, I sincerely doubt you're willing to pick up a gun and run out of the garage and take on the FBI when they come calling.

There are a number of people I've run into online that have a lot to say in attempting to defend the actions of the Hutaree Militia in Michigan. Recall, these were the folks who were arrested for conspiracy to kill not one but many cops, in a plan as evil as it was devious.

Imagine: There are Americans who are willing to defend those who (may have) conspired to kill cops, all because they distrust Barack Obama and the democrats so. I gotta tell you: I'd feel no safer with the Hutaree running the streets of America than I would UN troops.

So no, now is not the time to insinuate violence, or argue for violence, against the regime of Barack Obama. What it is time to do is work your asses off getting as many Republicans and Conservatives elected on November 2nd, 2010. Let's see what things look like on November 3rd, and talk again.

• BARNEY FRANK'S HR 3017

2010-04-09T08:09:00.000-07:00

This bill was introduced in June 2009 by Sen. Barney Frank, D-MA. The following is a summary of this bill.

6/24/2009--Introduced.

Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009 - Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation. Makes this Act inapplicable to:

(1) religious organizations; and (2) the relationship between the United States and members of the Armed Forces. Declares that this Act does not repeal or modify any federal, state, territorial, or local law creating a special right or preference concerning employment for a veteran.

Provides for the construction of this Act regarding:

(1) enforcement by employers of rules and policies; (2) sexual harassment; (3) certain shared facilities such as showers or dressing facilities; (4) construction of new or additional facilities; (5) dress and grooming standards; and (6) provision of employee benefits to married vs. unmarried couples.

Declares that, in this Act, "married" refers to a legal union between one man and one woman. Prohibits the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from collecting statistics from covered entities on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity or compelling the collection by covered entities of such statistics. Provides for enforcement, including giving the EEOC, the Librarian of Congress, the Attorney General, and U.S. courts the same enforcement powers as they have under specified provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Government Employee Rights Act of 1991, and other specified laws. Allows actions and proceedings, subject to exception, against the United States and the states.

GOP Congressman John Kline (R-MN) warns us that HR 3017 creates an entirely new protected class that is vaguely defined and often subjective. "The legislation extends protections based on – quote – 'perceived' sexual orientation," Kline said. "These vaguely defined terms would result in an explosion of litigation," costing millions in lawyers fees, paid by Christian Business Owners to homosexual complainers.

The worst part of Frank's new bill, without exaggeration or embellishment, is that it specifically forces all business owners, including Christians, to open their ladies bathrooms to cross-dressing men, even before they undergo sex-change operations. No kidding. Just read the bill, here:

HR 3017 Section 8.A.3. "CERTAIN SHARED FACILITIES- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to establish an unlawful employment practice based on actual or perceived gender identity due to the denial of access to shared shower or dressing facilities in which being seen unclothed is unavoidable, provided that the employer provides reasonable access to adequate facilities that are not inconsistent with the employee's gender identity as established with the employer at the time of employment or upon notification to the employer that the employee has undergone or is undergoing gender transition, whichever is later." That's a direct quote from Barney Frank's proposed new HR 3017 law.

Homosexual Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) already has 198 co-sponsors, and will press for a vote THIS MONTH. Below are the Ohio (D) Congress persons who signed on:

John Boccieri OH-16; Steve Driehaus OH-1; Marcia Fudge OH-11; Mary Jo Kilroy OH-15; Dennis (are we surprised) Kucinich OH-10; Tim Ryan OH-17; Betty Sutton OH-13.

There is another House bill HR 2981 and the Senate version is S1584 with Senator Sherrod Brown.

• TYRA BANKS AND GIRLS GONE WILD

2010-03-30T15:39:00.000-07:00

Occasionally I flip channels and see a few minutes of the Tyra Banks show. She has from time to time had programs about women who were abused by men, or assaulted, or other such tragedies. She has always struck me as somewhat sincere – as opposed to Maury Povich who just uses people in such a disgusting manner I can’t imagine how he sleeps at night.

That being said, today I was moving through channels looking for the afternoon MASH rerun (I still enjoy MASH, especially the original cast in the first 3 seasons), and I paused on Tyra’s program. She has that scumbag “Girls Gone Wild” character on, talking about how much fun he’s having living his life. They show shots of the audience members, all young women, smiling and happy about listening to this putz.

Now I am no fan of Hugh Hefner. He’s an extraordinary dirtball. I can’t stand the man. He’s bad enough but when they put him on TV as if he’s some wonderful celebrity, I want to puke. But this guy from GGW – he’s a freakin’ demon. He smiles, he’s handsome enough I suppose, and he’s got charisma. Tyra Banks says something like, “hey, no one forces any of the women to take off their clothes – I don’t see the problem here!”

(By the way, I don’t know the man’s name, and I was going to look it up, but I thought it was cool that I don’t know his name and decided not to bother.)

Yeah, whoopee Tyra! This is all in good fun! Take off your bra! Ooh la lah! Show us your coochie! I mean, I haven’t seen one of those films but I can imagine. I’m no choir boy, but that kind of thing is such a turn off. Get ‘em drunk, and hand ‘em some money. There it is, “sexy”. HARDLY! And Tyra has now exposed herself. She’s playing along for the money having him on TV gets her. Ratings. Big ratings. And she gets to be the cool ‘hot chick’ who doesn’t mind this clown and his planes and homes and cars and more money than God – all obtained by exploiting young women.

Sure, they’re all of age, and they get paid and free booze and they make their decisions using their own free will ... after they’re hammered.

Tyra Banks should be ashamed of herself.

• MY OPEN LETTER TO ANDREW BREITBART

2010-03-28T09:05:00.000-07:00

Dear Mr. Breitbart:

I have immense respect for Breitbart.com and all the Big websites associated with it. I refer to material on these sites often in doing my online radio program (always referenced and linked in the show notes).

Now, I have to ask why so many conservatives are willing to look past Sarah Palin's stumping for John McCain when there is a real conservative in the race! This is really disturbing to me, and gets us right back to the heart of the problem with the GOP and politics in America. When do we start standing up against Republicans in Name Only, like Mr. McCain?

And when do we demand that people like Ms. Palin stand up for the principles that she espouses? She cannot be both for the Tea Party AND for John McCain - and yet there she is, in one weekend - doing the impossible.

I've been disgusted all weekend. All the cheering tells me that conservatives STILL JUST DO NOT GET IT.

Respectfully,
Jimmy Z

• I Will Be Happy if Pelosi Uses the Slaughter Shenanigan

2010-03-18T19:11:00.000-07:00

By Jimmy Z

Let them act out in such a fashion as to be damned by history.

I am still hoping and believing that the leftists in office in Washington DC will not be able to get the votes to pass their healthcare wet dream. We've put up a wonderful fight - and we're not done yet. No country has fought harder to prevent socialized medicine.

But in light of the very real possibility that Pelosi and the democrats (purposely not capitalized) will use the Slaughter Shenanigan -- aka 'Deem and Scheme' -- I have said to a few people who are understandably freaking out, 'good! I'm glad they're going to use that tactic!'

Of course, their responses have been shock. 'Huh? Why would you be happy?'

Here is what I think: If the democrats are going to force this atrocity on the American people by hook or by crook, let them do it with more hooks and by more crooks than ever in our history. Let them act out in such a fashion as to be damned by history.

I want them to use every trick. I want them to conspire behind closed doors over and over and over again. I want them to continue to show Americans who the leftists are, and how deep their level of deceit is. I want our children and grandchildren to be studying in school the political horror of 2010.

And I want our progeny to look back and be amazed that our country was able to survive.

Should our country have to face passage of this bill through some kind of chicanery, it serves us well. We will fight it with our State Constitutions. We will fight it in court. We will demand our Republican majority in the House, come 2011, not fund the bill. We will work to repeal the bill, and we will not give up.

Our descendants will learn of many times this country was on the edge of disaster; the moments when The United States of America was thought to be finished. We defeated our enemies, and we beat the odds.

The Revolutionary War provided a very long shot, yet here we are. The Civil War was a bloody and horrible war. Many people believed that our country would not survive, yet here we are. There were times during World War II that it looked like we would lose the war. But we persevered and here we are. During the Great Depression I am sure some folks thought, 'well, this is it. Here is the end of the line.'

We have seen stunning, dreadful times in our past. And we keep pushing through, and we patriots do not give up. Between our love of country and our faith in God, we do what must be done to protect the Constitution.

We are fighting our President for the second time in our history. Last time, it was imperative that the President won. This time, it is essential that the President lose.

Just because these leftists -- Pelosi, Reid, Obama and nearly all of the democrats in office -- may use some unconstitutional maneuver to pass the Health Care System Take Over bill (I mean, let's call it what it is, shall we?), we will not stop fighting it.

We have a lot of good people in office who are gearing up to take action right away. Come November 2nd, we will have even more amazing conservatives and Republicans ready to battle against this most unconstitutional legislation.

We have truth on our side. Over and over again, we hear democrats on television and radio, lying outright to the American people, and to themselves. They seem to believe that if this bill passes, the American people are going to love it. They insist that the American people do not care at all about the process used to pass the Take Over.

They actually believe that our Constitution does not mean anything to the American people. Imagine!

So let them use every trick they can think up. Let them provide all of the ammunition we will use against them in the coming elections.

They will find out on November 2nd how wrong they are.

Oh, and one more thing: Many people like to talk about the 'democracies' throughout history that lasted about 200 years, and say that we've had a good run; that our time is about up. Rubbish. We are not just another democracy among democracies in the history of this planet.

We are The United States of America. We are a democratic Republic. We are used to bucking trends. We are a people who do not lie back and accept what we don't like. We have the Constitutional authority to replace this government with leaders who will protect that Constitution.

We are not done.

• HOW BAD HAS IT GOTTEN FOR OBAMA?

2010-03-07T10:25:00.000-08:00

Today's Rasmussen approval index is -17. It has bounced around from -12 to -21 over the last month or so, so that puts it right about in the mean area of where it has been.

Today's number means that the among the two poles of voter passion, those who adore Obama and those who loathe him, the loathes have it by more than 2 touchdowns. Bad news for Obama's party this fall because the passionate voter shows up in an off year election. See Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

To really understand the breadth and scope of how far Obama has fallen, one needs compare this number, and it's internals, to the stratospheric numbers he boasted upon taking office.

The current number of -17 is not his record low so far, but we can start there anyway. On a Rasmussen poll taken on January 24th, 2009, that number stood at what will remain the high water mark of his presidency: +26.

So, Obama's net Approval index has fallen an astonishing 43 points in barely over 13 months. If he continues at that rate, he will be at -60 by the spring of next year when he could very well be facing a Republican congress.

Looking at the poll internals tells an even more alarming tale.

Among Men, Obama is at -24 compared to a poll of February 19th, 2009 that put him at +4. Among Women, Obama is at -10 now, while that same poll from February of last year put him at +21. You heard right, Obama has dropped faster among women since taking office (down 31 points net) than among men (28).

Among unaffiliated voters, the news is even
more grim. Obama has fallen from +12 when
he was inaugurated to a mind blowing -27.
That is a 39 point plummet.

Among Republicans, Obama started out with a cool -12, that number has now sunk to -68. With that level on Republican enmity now, can Obama even hope to repeat his wins in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Colorado and Nevada? How about New Hampshire, Iowa and New Mexico?

George W Bush won each of those 10 states at least once. He won the first 7 twice. Take the two time Bush states away from him and he loses the election.

But Obama isn't merely going to be giving back Red states, or even just Red and Purple states. Obama is in trouble all over the electoral map and with every constituency.

In the current poll, Obama is +35 among Democrats. That sounds good until you realize that he was +72 on his third day of office. With a 37 swoon among his own party, how can he hope to hold on to states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin where Gore and Kerry won by razor thin margins?

Among Unaffiliated voters, the news is even more grim. Obama has fallen from +12 when he was inaugurated to a mind blowing -27. That is a 39 point plummet.

So, you have volcanic opposition from Republicans, visceral opposition from unaffiliated voters and only tepid support from his own ranks. This has created a perfect electoral storm for 2012.

Not only is Obama finished in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico -- the Bush states . . .

Not only is he toast in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, the near-miss states . . .

That would be bad enough . . .

Obama's party has just suffered two devastating defeats in states unthinkable a year ago: New Jersey and Massachusetts. Meanwhile, high profile Democratic Senators are in deep trouble in other solid blue states such as Delaware, New York and California and even, Obama's own state of Illinois.

With the threat of energized Republicans and Independents showing up in swarms while demoralized Democrats stay home, the number of states where Obama is not at least vulnerable will probably number in the low single digits. Many people are expected a historic bloodbath in this November's elections- and I think they are right.

Yet, if current trends continue, 2012 could be an electoral wipe out of Reagan/Mondale proportions.

• 2012 ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP

2010-03-07T10:15:00.000-08:00

As it sits today -- and remember -- a year ago, this would have been unthinkable. Here is SonlitKnight's analysis. --Jz

My analysis of the Electoral college map, based on Obama's current approvals tell me that this is the current picture.

RED STATES

39 States totaling 360 Electoral votes (color is how they went in 2008) --

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming

BLUE STATES

8 States plus Washington D.C. Totaling 146 Electoral votes.

California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and Rhode Island

BATTLEGROUND STATES

3 States totaling 32 Electoral votes

Connecticut, Minnesota and New Jersey

So, if the election were today, Obama loses by between 360-178 to 392-146.

• MY BOUT WITH TRUTHER-ISM

2010-02-28T20:00:00.000-08:00

Well, today I had to block a good friend via email because she admitted to being a truther. My friend defended the zany way Debra Medina squirmed and evaded when Glenn Beck asked her point blank: "Do you believe the government was in any way involved in the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?"

This truther crappola is getting really, really, REALLY out of control. I think it is safe to say, from what we know about the tactics employed by followers of Islam, that they had a lot to do with this damnable lie -- the truther conspiracy. I believe it is also possible that the American Left joined in, because ultimately it would lead to having conservatives buy into this bull@$%! hook, line and sinker.

And so they have.

I have had a few folks tell me that they did not believe conservatives were buying into this; that it is mostly liberals. Although I do not know the actual numbers, it is abundantly clear that more and more and more of your fellow conservatives -- people who believe in most of the same values and principles that we share, and our goal to return this country to it's rightful owners, 'we the people' -- are beginning to jump on board with a number of kooky fringe groups, including but not limited to:

• The 'don't pay your taxes' crowd

• The Anarchy crowd

• The 'Obama is going to call for martial law' crowd

• The 'free militia' crowd

• The 'Obama is going to cancel elections in 2010 and 2012' crowd

• The 'Truther' crowd

• The 'Conservatives will be boarding trains and sent to FEMA camps' crowd

• The 'Sky is Falling' Chicken Little crowd

(I am not including those who are concerned about Obama's birthplace because, although I do not place that issue near the top of what we should be focusing on right here, right now, I would like to know where the man was born).

If we are not careful, the truther/FEMA/militia bunch
is going to attach itself to us, and the rest of middle
America -- the people whose votes we need -- will run
far and fast from us, and vote for liberal democrats

I have taken a lot of time, time I will never get back, debating and discussing and trying to help some truthers see the light. And now, after a few weeks of this fruitless pursuit, I have had to make a decision tonight, and I have decided to give up.

We have too much to do, and we must win these elections, so I am done dealing with you truthers. You want to believe your country attacked itself? Go for it, but stay the hell away from me and you better stay even further away from the conservative movement.

My friends, we must separate ourselves from these right wing fringe crazies. We don't have time to help them out of their hallucinations. We have our work to do.

And I cannot stress this enough: If we are not careful, the truther/FEMA/militia bunch is going to attach itself to us, and the rest of middle America -- the people whose votes we need -- will run far and fast from us, and vote for liberal democrats.

So I am encouraging you to do the same. If you haven't done so already (I admit it; I was told this was the thing to do and I was stubborn and thought I could wake a few truthers up. I cannot be done), I urge you to block every truther that pops up, one at a time, and treat them like lepers.

Keep a safe distance and do not entertain any of them. Make certain that the tea party movement for conservative America stays away from trutherism and all the rest of the people I listed. Focus on Nov. 2, 2010, and let's get some conservatives elected.

And to those of you who are truthers, etc, all I can say is - I am sorry you are so deluded, but it is not my job to fix you. See a shrink before it is too late.

Best Regards,
Jz

• 'BIRTHERS?' JIM McMAHON OF CHICAGO RESPONDS

2010-02-21T18:52:00.000-08:00

Hi Jimmy,

As you know, I listen to your program on a regular basis and usually agree with everything you say, but while I was catching up on your shows this weekend and heard this, I was pretty surprised and I think you’re totally missing the point on this one. I really don’t know too much about Erick Erickson or his Redstate blog, but after hearing his opinion and offensive attack on his readers about the birth certificate issue, it makes me wonder what the “Red” in Redstate is indicative of.

As a rational thinking conservative, I resent being labeled a “birther” or any other kind of an “er” for that matter. And to put any logical person that asks legitimate questions into the same category as a “9-11 truther,” is just pure ignorance. These are two very different things. Treating people like the lunatic fringe for simply asking to see proof of Obama’s eligibility is just wrong, and Erickson is doing exactly what the liberal left news media wants him to do. He’s using Alinsky’s Rule #5, from “Rules for Radicals” by ridiculing those that dare question Obama’s eligibility. Judging by the way these people are continually mocked by the media, anyone would think they’re a pack of toothless inbreds that all claim to have been abducted by UFO’s and given anal probes before they became “birthers.” They’re not!

The American public aren’t asking for much, they’re just asking to see a birth certificate. A simple document, so basic that you can’t even register a kid for Little League Baseball without one. This guy is sitting in the White House. The most powerful position on earth and we know absolutely nothing about him. While any one of us would gladly produce whatever documentation necessary to prove that we are who we say we are, Obama has gone to great measures and spent 2 million dollars to hide all of his documents. He signed Executive Order #13489 on Jan. 21, 2009, to seal all his records on his very first day in office. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-1712.pdf Why would anyone do that if they have nothing to hide? Because we have never seen any of his records, it would be impossible to say with any degree of certainty where Obama was born. For all we know, he might not even be an American citizen at all, he could be an illegal alien. I don’t know, but I do know with absolute certainty that he is NOT a “natural born” citizen.

By virtue of his father being a
Kenyan national at the time of
Obama’s birth, he could never be
considered a “natural born” citizen

But it really doesn’t matter what I think, what Erickson thinks, or anyone else thinks. The only thing that matters is the Constitution, and Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution is very clear on the requirements to be the POTUS. There are no exceptions outlined in this and it’s not open for debate. You either are, or are not a “natural born” citizen.

So let’s forget about all the evidence against Obama and the growing suspicion surrounding him for a minute. By virtue of his father being a Kenyan national at the time of Obama’s birth, he could never be considered a “natural born” citizen. BOTH parents must be at least “naturalized” citizens at the time of a child's birth, for that child to be considered “natural born” under Vattel’s “Law of Nations.” So, it doesn’t matter if Obama was born in Hawaii, Kenya, on the Moon or on top of the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. He is not a “natural born” citizen, making him constitutionally ineligible to legally hold the office of POTUS. It’s that simple!

Most Obama supporters couldn’t care less about his citizenship status, they say it doesn’t matter, but then again, if it were up to most of them, they would just burn the Constitution so they could proceed to rob us of our freedom and liberties. Nobody has the right to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution we honor and which parts we don’t. Each and every part of the Constitution must be kept sacred and it is every Americans duty to see that this is upheld at any cost. It must be honored in its entirety, or none of it is safe.

I wonder how Erick Erickson would like it if our government decided to play their “pick & choose” game with the Bill of Rights and decided to rescind the 1st Amendment. I’ll bet if he were deprived of his freedom of speech and could no longer write whatever he wanted to on his website, he’d be singing a different tune. Then he might realize that ALL of the Constitution mattered.

We’re all fully aware that Obama got elected and is currently holding the office of President, and at this stage of the game it would be pretty tough to get him out of there before he completes his first term. This should’ve and could’ve been done before he was put in office, but he was never properly vetted by the DNC and the same people shunned those that were trying to force him to show proof of eligibility back then.

The fact is, he is NOT a legitimate President and has managed to commit one of the greatest scams in history against our nation. He should be immediately removed from office and tried for treason, along with every other person that is complicit in this cover up. For anyone to say it’s racist to ask Obama for his birth certificate because nobody else ever had to show theirs, find another excuse. John McCain had to show his. He had to prove that he was born on a U.S. Military Base in Panama and that his father and mother were both U.S. citizens at the time of his birth. Why didn’t Obama? Is he special? Is he above the law? I thought those days were over, but it’s sure starting to look like Affirmative Action in action to me.

I don't know - 'Truther' or 'Birther' doesn't cut it with someone this far gone.

Have a look. Comment at will.

Personally? I see these people as a terrible danger to both the conservative movement AND to America at large.

About Barack Obama on a thread at Facebook, Michael --------- wrote:

"He's NEVER going to quit. The NWO nihilists that put this patsy puppet POTUS in place are way too powerful to ever let that happen. The military enlisted need to stop fighting for this liar corrupter in chief. We the People need to stop paying TAXES to the FED & support TIM COX & GOOOH to elect honorable constitutionalists to represent U.S. this year."

I answered:

"Stop paying taxes? NWO nihilists? The stupid PEOPLE voted this guy into office! 52.9% of them! Alex Jones much? Let go of the bogeyman and let's get conservatives elected in November."

And Michael, properly prompted, did not disappoint:

"You still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa too, huh Jimmy?

I'm not an ardent Alex Jones faithful, so strike one JZ. Also, Scott Brown was NOT running for POTUS! Strike 2. Do your HW. Ever since Diebold deadbolted our free elections with rigged E-VOTING only Bushes and Clintons were elected until the usurper was given the nod over Billary by the banksters. The MSM fabricated these "truther" and "birther" labels to discredit anyone challenging their propaganda pushed by the MSM down wee l'il sheeple's collective throat. As a Christian I'm to occupy or stay put until Christ returns, NOT flee like a draft-dodging coward to Canada. I also am NOT seeking a political messiah like Oprah et al were in B.S./B.O. who rode the media mantle of "change we can believe in" all the way to the whitehouse. I already trust in Christ alone as my Savior, and as an American I will fight for liberty and love it 'til the death.

Violence is part of what the fascist fed is counting on as FEMA beefs up for Martial Law. RepubliCANTS & DemocRATS are just the LEFT WING and RIGHT WING of the same BILDERBERGER BIG BIRD behind all the same stuff served up by execrable orders EVERY POTUS since FDR has used under the fraudulent imposition of national security/exigency in order to divest U.S. of more and more of our precious liberty.

Again, Tim Cox (FB user) needs our support for GOOOH representatives (state sovereignty sound) this year @ the ballot box to oust as many professional politicians like Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, & Feinstein as we the people can.

Jimmy, you know just enough to be dangerous. The truth is what sets people free, not twisting it or burying it like the MSM is paid to do. The fascism of the fed was advanced by both the Clintons and Bushes or DEM's & REP's BEFORE B.S./B.O. was coronated (uh, e-voted in). If you actually still believe the fairy-tale touted as the "official" federal govt. position on 9/11, then you have even less credibility than FAUX SPEWS. I campaigned for both Ron Paul & Chuck Baldwin in the last presidential election w/in my precinct. Ron Paul was SILENCED & SHUT OUT of the MSM coverage to deliberately de-rail his chances for the Republican nomination ensuring the fall guy, McCain, got in. Ever hear of SR 511?"

I won't bore you with all my posts that led to these rants, but I will give you my closer:

"Michael, you feed on this stuff don't you! Martial law, FEMA camps - again, why in God's name are you here? Is Jesus calling you to be tossed into a FEMA camp? Separated from your family in an internment camp for standing up for freedom? I know... I know... there'll be no elections - Obama is going to cancel them. End the Fed too, part of this vast conspiracy.

9-11 was what it was. Using words like 'fairy tale' and such does not buttress your argument. I don't know what is missing in your life that requires you to cling to these fictional stories, but you are short a few marbles - I guarantee you that.

If you represent Tim Cox, I pray the guy gets nowhere near elected office.

You're a psycho, you and all of your Bilderburger loonies. Mother of Mary - You are a danger to yourself, your family, and most importantly America and her future.

FYI: I am absolutely certain of: You really do believe this s--t."

• A PRAYER GOING FORWARD

2010-02-20T19:24:00.000-08:00

I have been taking notice of the comments on Facebook and elsewhere by many people who are friends of mine, concerning CPAC and the various people that are speaking there. Some of these speakers are great, and some are spectacular, and some are kind of -- well -- flat.

So as I have been reading the different people saying different things and voicing wildly varying opinion on the different speakers, I realized that we are not exactly forming agreement quickly over who is going to best lead conservatism going into the midterm elections.

We are spending too much time on 2012, if you ask me, and not enough time on getting out the vote for 2010. That should be our primary focus, without question.

So since it seemed to me that we are going to need some help with this, I went right to the Lord, because He's the one who can really help. He's the one who can give us some great candidates to vote for, and great leaders to help our nation out of this horrible predicament we find ourselves in.

So I wrote this on Facebook and I share it with you here:

Dear Lord: I pray that YOU will bring us the right candidates for times such as these. YOU and you alone know the leaders that we need to save this country Lord. We haven't always paid as much attention as we should have Lord, but we're paying attention now.

Our country has fallen apart politically, but that's not as im...portant as the fall we've taken morally Lord. YOU know that all too well. So we pray for leaders to rise up that can lead us back onto the right path.

We understand that not all of the candidates will have views we always agree with. Lord, there may be some candidates that aren't as conservative as we might like; there may be some who are less moral minded than we might like, but we ask that YOU guide us into voting for the right people for the right time.

YOU Lord can see to it that our political leaders do the right thing. Father, YOU can nudge even Harry Pelosi, or Nancy Reid, or even -- yea Verile -- Barack Obama to do the right thing.

Lord, we pray for our misguided, confused and selfish leaders. We pray that you might cause them to wake up one morning, and realize they need to make new choices. They need to get to know YOU Lord.

Thank you Lord for helping us out of this mess. And we pray it in your Son Jesus' name - Amen.

• DEAR SARAH: IT'S NOW OR NEVER

2010-02-20T16:20:00.000-08:00

I'm going to sound pompous here, but my co-host at the time and I knew Sarah Palin before she was picked by McCain. In fact, we PREDICTED McCain would have to pick Palin to have any shot at winning. And we took a lot of crap for it too, I can tell you. "Who?!" Oh boy, some of the liberal GOP women at Blog Talk Radio are still cursing us for that pick!

Rather than Sarah Palin needing John McCain, it was McCain who needed Sarah Palin. The Governor of Alaska was well on her way to conservative stardom anyway. Now it is probably all for naught, and I'll tell you why. She's not only campaigning for McCain, but she is DEFENDING her decision. Subtle, but it's there in the tape on Fox News Sunday where she announces her support for McCain.

Do we have time to sit on the sidelines while
Sarah Palin pays her dues to John McCain,
and quite possibly SINKS the true
conservative in Arizona?

THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: There is no possible way that the Sarah Palin who has stood up against EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF POLITICS THAT McCAIN BRINGS TO DC would be able to campaign for him. Period. If she stands up for what she says she believes, she could NOT do it.

If she could not campaign for Hayworth because of her 'loyalty', she should have waited the primary election out. No one would question her support of McCain against the democrat.

Everyone, think about this: This country is quite literally hanging over a cliff for God's sake. Do we have time to play one more round of "GOP Kiss Ass" the same way we've been playing it up to now?

Do we have time to sit on the sidelines while Sarah Palin pays her dues to John McCain, and quite possibly SINKS the true conservative in Arizona?

Do we want politicians who sell their principles for any reason at all? The answers are clearly NO, NO and NO. Palin needs to be the politician that she has presented herself as - the politician we thought she was - NOW - or never.

• RUSH LIMBAUGH ON AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

2010-02-18T09:17:00.000-08:00

From a Limbaugh transcript, 17 February 2010

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_021710/content/01125112.guest.html

You know, my friends, it's very simple -- and I have used this phrase consistently over the course of my 20 plus years behind the Golden EIB Microphone -- what I believe has made the country great. I've addressed this. When I do my rare, overwhelmingly popular public appearances, I challenge the audience to think about something: "Do you ever wonder how it is, and why it became so, that a population at any one time of less than 300 million people created the highest standard of living? Progress, economic, political, education, by any standard you want to measure, the United States of America has been the greatest collection, population of human beings in the history of the world." There have been civilizations, countries, and populations long before us that were the trademark of their day, their standard-bearers of their day.

They can't compare to us, and they've been around thousands of years. Now, what was it? What is it? What is it that makes three hundred million people special? Our DNA is no different than the ChiCom DNA. I'm talking about in terms of humanity. Our DNA is no different than any other human being anywhere on earth or has ever been on earth. What is it about this 200, 300 million people that have created by far -- there's no comparison -- the greatest country and collection of human beings on the face of the earth for good? We feed the world, we relive the world, we repair the world. We defend the world. We have liberated hundreds of millions of people who have lived in bondage and slavery. What is it about us? We're not born special in terms of our DNA. What is it? I asked people to think about this 'cause I don't think they do.

This is part and parcel of what I call American exceptionalism. What is American exceptionalism? It's not that we're better people. It's not that we're smarter. It's not that we have the advantage because of our geography, because we clearly don't. So what is it that sets us apart? There's one answer, and it's found in the Declaration of Independence: "We are all endowed by our Creator." So we acknowledge God as a country. When we were founded, we acknowledged God: We were all created. We are all endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Undeniable. They're just there. And they come from the Creator. Among them, but not just, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. That's pretty simple to me. Those three things, the acknowledgment of our creation by God -- a loving God -- that our spirit has this natural yearning to be free and to be happy and that there's nothing wrong with either of those.

There's nothing wrong with being created, nothing wrong with being happy or trying to be, and there's certainly nothing wrong with living. It was that codification that made one crucial thing possible: And that is for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Not the smartest, not the brightest, not the well born, not the richest. Ordinary. This is a nation that became the greatest nation in human history -- in however many hundreds of thousands, billions, whatever years you want to say we've been plodding the earth -- because of ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things, made possible by the fact that our country was founded acknowledging that our freedom comes from God. Not from a government and not from some other man or some other woman. It does not come from a demagogue. It does not come from somebody promising to take care of us. It inspired people to produce, to take care of themselves and anybody else that needed it in their community via their church or whatever neighborhood organization they happened to belong to. That's what's been lost. Too many people think that without government doing the right things, we can't succeed -- and the government, when run by people like are running it now, get in the way and make it impossible for ordinary people to do anything extraordinary.

• Senate Democrats Losing Control

2010-02-17T08:29:00.000-08:00

The Possibility of Losing Democrat Senate Control Has Senate Democrats Losing Control

On November 1, 1913, the mighty Black Knights of the United States Army took to the football field.

They were undefeated and looked to stay that way. Of the 4 National powers of that time (Harvard, Yale and Pennsylvania were the others), the mighty Knights had the surest path to an undefeated season and a National Championship.

Only a tiny private Catholic school from Indiana with strange name stood in their way. An unheralded group with a flanker with an even stranger name.

They were sand beneath the mighty Knights feet.

Then, something happened no one had ever seen before.

This scrappy flanker began running down the field in bizarre patterns. Zig zag motions and loops and slanting motions across the field. He must have seemed crazy.

Somehow, however, the Quarterback, Gus Dorais, knew where this player and his fellow players would wind up in these bizarre patterns and threw the ball in their direction 17 times. 17 throws in one game was unheard of. The strange patterns even more so. Yet, Gus managed to get 14 of those throws to his talented group of pass catchers for an unimagined 243 yards. This young upstart group of misfits became Davids that day and slew the might Army Goliaths in what is, to this day, called the greatest upset in the history of College football.

It was unthinkable. It may have been the biggest David and Goliath moment since, well... David and Goliath.

The day the mighty Army Knights, who would win the following year's National title, lost to a rag tag bunch of scrub Catholics from Indiana. The modern passing game had just been invented.

After that day, everyone knew the receiver with the wierd name, from the school with a wierd name. These Irish Catholic kids would fight.

In one year, we have gone from
wondering if there will be as many
as 36 Republican Senators to wondering
if there might be as many as 55.
It is just that crazy.

November 1st, 1913. The biggest upset in College football history. When the legendary Black Knights of Army lost to Knute Rockne, and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

12 Years later, in 1925, Coach Knute Rockne would beat "Pop" Warner's Stanford Cardinal in the Rose Bowl for the first National Championship of College football's most storied program. Rockne, himself would win 5 more National Championships before his tragic death in a plane crash.

Sometimes the team with the unthinkable win over the dynasty, later becomes the dynasty.

From November of 2005 to November of 2008, The Democratic party won 8 Governorships, 53 House seats, The Presidency and 14 Senate seats. When it couldn't get any worse, Arlen Specter switched parties and became the 15th Senate pickup.

House seats are up every two years. You get a crack at Governorships and the Presidency every four. The GOP could get back in the game in those races within 4 years.

But the Senate was another matter.

Because of the six year term of a Senator, only about a third of Senate seats are up every two years.

Of the 15 senate Democratic freshmen, none would face the voters in 2010 and only 6 would face them in 2012. Not until 2014, could Republicans even dream of taking back the Senate.

Sure, Obama and Biden would have to be replaced in the Senate as well as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. No one even looked up. Why? Barack Obama carried Illinois, Delaware and New York by a combined margin of 3.6 million votes. Bluer than Blue, sadder than sad.

Then the announced retirements started and the Republican picture became even bleaker. While the GOP looked for electoral scraps- states where they could make a plausible stab at pickups- gloom set in further as 4 states began to look like certain additional Republican losses in 2010. Kentucky, Ohio, New Hampshire and Missouri. Add Arizona, where Napolitano looked like she was going to run against Election night loser John McCain.

The pundit class was predicting yet another bad year for Republicans. With more Senate Republicans defending again, in a toxic enviroment, it was hard to imagine a worse scenario for Republicans.

One year ago, the conversation was not about how many Senate seats the GOP would pickup or even if they could pick any up. This must be understood or the magnitude of the times we are in cannot be comprehended.

In February of 2009, the discussion was about how many more seats the Democrats were going to pickup.

Sure, 2012 was a more favorable year for matchups. But with a deficit of 30 seats (65-35) as a very real possibility, the Dems would have such a tight reign on power, would it make sense to hope the GOP could ever regain the majority?

What a difference a year makes.

It is not just Ted Kennedy's death and Scott Brown's stunning victory in Massachusetts.

For starters, the 5 sure losers are are all now safe. The GOP will defend all those seats.

Oh, but there is more. North Dakota- Byron Dorgan's seat is burnt toast. Joe Biden's seat? Gone. Obama's? Goodbye. Speaking of Bye ... how about Bye Bye Bayh...as in Evan Bayh. TOAST. Pennsylvania's Specter ... done. Nevada's Harry Reid ... The Majority leader! Stick a fork in him. Colorado ... it's ours. Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas is over.

In one year, we have gone from wondering if there will be as many as 36 Republican Senators to wondering if there might be as many as 55. It is just that crazy.

Right now, Obama is the least
popular President in American
history for this stage of his presidency
and the GOP is winning Independents
by a margin of 3 to 1.

Now how this ties in with the football analogy.

In that 1913 game between Army and Notre Dame, nobody was talking about how many points Notre Dame would win by. Nobody was talking about if Notre Dame would win.

The only conversation was about how bad Notre Dame was going to get murdered.

All that changed as the game went on and the assumed routers became the routees, as the Irish stunned the Knights 35-13 on their way to rising from obscurity and replacing them as College football royalty.

History may be about to witness a similar work.

If the Republicans can eek out a 51-49 majority this year- something unthinkable a year ago- Democrats could really be in trouble going forward. In 2012, only 10 republicans will be defending Senate seats. Only 2 of the 10 won by less than double digits in their last election. (Bob Corker and Scott Brown).

On the other hand, 23 Democrats must defend in 2012. Further, another 17 in 2014. In 2014, only 12 Republicans defend.

So, in the next 2 cycles Democratic defenses out number Republicans 40- 22. Almost 2 to 1.

It's worse than that.

In races won by less than double digits in the last cycles, Democrat defenses outnumber Republicans 14- 2- that's 7 to 1.

It's worse than that.

Right now, Obama is the least popular President in American history for this stage of his presidency and the GOP is winning Independents by a margin of 3 to 1.

Put it together.

An overwhelming advantage in polling combined with a game being played very much on their side of the field and the combined effects of the next 4 years could be a Senate mauling like you have never seen. Almost overnight, the hunters have become the hunted.

In 2004, the GOP won 55 seats. It is narrowly within the window of possibility we could get back there this year. If so, 2012 and 2014 could mean not just 60 Republicans but, dare we say, 70?...or even more.

Losing the majority this year would mean Dems couldn't even begin to take it back until the next Republican President is running for Reelection....in 2016. Losing the Senate Majority this year will be the equivalent of the great San Fransisco earthquake for Dems. It could signal the beginning of their political end.

Knute Rockne would be proud.

• DIALOGUE WITH A PESSIMIST

2010-02-14T19:05:00.000-08:00

The following is a dialog I had with a pessimistic 'conservative'. This woman believes that Obama will not allow elections in 2012 or 2010; that Obama will force all of his agenda through via executive orders; that Obama is about to call for martial law and that the sky is literally falling and doom is inevitable.

As you will see, I was kind at first and then later my patience wore thin. I cannot abide pessimism. It does motivate, and it won't get the job done.

THE TOPIC: Michael Savage - Socialist Obama to Push Executive Orders Against Will of Americans - (2/12/10) (I will read a NY Times story and comment on The Jimmy Z Monday Show, 15 February). We begin with my first post to her. Only her last name has been deleted to protect the pessimist. I have added emphasis to some of her more astounding comments.

TheJimmy ZShow
1 - They know the 'damage' they are doing. They never much liked our constitution. 2 - Mr. Obama talks a big game, but he knows that this threat is just that. I don't expect him to use this tactic much. 3 - If he does, he makes it that much easier for the conservative to beat him in 2012.

Fear not - little of his shenanigans are such that we cannot undo them. The question is - will we have a conservative president WILLING to undo it?
2 hours ago ·

Cathy -----
Your comments interest me - I don't always agree with them, but it then makes me think through what I know and how I feel about the situation at hand (and there are SO MANY at hand!!). :)

Frankly, I do believe BHO's threats are valid - he may not be able to carry them out well within our borders, but he is working quietly and steadily on gaining global support for overthrowing the United States and, therefore, being able to use military strength from other areas to subjugate us.

Second, I truly do not believe we will have elections in 2012, in which we can supposedly oust this loser and get someone who actually loves this country in there. BHO has NO intention of EVER being out of power, so he will do whatever it takes to rule out the possibility of losing an election. I'm not even sure we'll be able to vote this year. Even if we are the elections will be* so riddled with blatant and outright fraud and intimidation they will not be valid.

*[Note: "Will be"; not 'might be' or 'could be', but will be. She is convinced and she's out there convincing others with her extremist pessimism.]

Third, so far I have to admit I haven't seen a candidate I feel fully supportive of in that they do NOT cave in, they do NOT move to the center, they do NOT pander to special interests, and they do NOT, EVER, compromise the values the conservatives and Republicans hold dear and which we know work for our country.

[Not ONE?]

I'm sick to death of seeing the morality and decency bar lowered so far it's underground at this point, and I want to have a candidate (or several) who will never sell the ideals and principles of America down the road to or for anyone. So far Romney is the closest, in my mind, but there are issues with him as well. So, I keep looking and hoping top-notch people will step up to the plate.

[Out of all the potential candidates, she picks a RINO who ushered in State Health Care in Massachusetts and is pro gay rights. Wow.]

Appreciate the discussion and the level of respect, BTW - I've rarely had any problems on my page, which is great, and I enjoy discussing topics that, although we may not all agree on, we all feel strongly about, and we certainly all have the same, overarching goal - saving our country from the worst danger and destruction we have ever faced.

TheJimmy ZShow
Yes, Obama's threats are valid, in terms of what he could try, but the public outcry will temper their actions. Rahm and Obama are upset and frustrated. They are not going to pass everything they want by exec order - I'd bet against it.

He is working to make the US just another country. To say he is going 'overthrow' our government is too Alex Jonesy. The chances he will cut off elections in 2012 are slim and none. It makes the conservatives look bizarre and crazed to state such things with 'certainty'. It is not certain at all. And if it happens three years of worrying and convincing yourself and others that it is going to happen COULD create a self fulfilling prophecy.

Why wasn't there all this 'fraud' and such in Massachusetts? That election alone should give one hope, not dismay.

So far, what you have seen is the GOP standing firm against Obama, and this is great news. You are concentrating on the bad and not focusing on the good. I have a list on my blog page, related to the show page, that has a 'Toast List' and lists all the Democrat Senators who are in trouble.

I'll be direct: Your focus right now needs to be on the midterm elections. We have 8½ months to get this done. That's it. We don't have time for worrying about what might happen, thinking about the worst and predicting the worst. We have a job to do.

Forgive me if I'm being too blunt, but these points are so important.

There was no possible way any Republican would win Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts. No way. Then, I believe, people have been praying for this country and God intervened. It is going to be imperative that you shield yourself from the bad news. I don't know if you listen to the militia types and the Alex Jones types, but it's bad news. It's as bad as listening to Obama. Get Limbaugh on the radio and Levin and Hannity, and get positive.

We need you to be at your most productive ever.

And by the way, Romney is a RINO. He's for homosexual rights and he ushered in the Massachusetts version of state run health care. You didn't know that?

Cathy -----
Of course I know that - hence my reservations about him [Romney]. Frankly, I really don't agree with much you're saying, but I certainly respect your right to say it.

[But after complaining about moderate and liberal Republicans, he's the one she picked? Oy.]

I DO believe BHO has the ability to carry out at least part of his plans, public outrage or not - as you know, no matter how angry people are, many will collapse and offer little to no resistance if/when things get ugly and life is scary. BHO plans on that - he's read the playbooks, as it were. Fundamentally, Americans have NO concept whatsoever of what life would be like under martial law, with no privacy, rights, free speech, readily available food, and so forth - no idea at all. It wouldn't take much to create panic and chaos, which would feed into the overall plans beautifully.

[Quite a movie scenario, to be sure, but all hysterical crystal balling. All pandering to negativity and fear mongering.]

As well, I do not believe I'm concentrating only on the "bad" and not the good* - I, like many, rejoice in good news, but we temper our reactions with the knowledge that worse is sure to come - the more BHO is stymied the angrier he gets, and his brown-nosing to tyrannical leaders and work with global governance situations gives him power we can't begin to imagine.

*[What possible evidence is there of this woman not concentrating on the bad? And keep reading as she continues to not concentrate on the bad.]

I do not believe this is "Alex Jonesy" and, frankly, I'm somewhat offended at the comparison. I do not follow rumormongers and crazy tales blindly - I do my research (when I can - life is busy), I read a LOT, I listen intently, and I try to connect the dots. Most of my amazing conservative friends are the same way. [I sure hope not.]

The GOP is "standing firm" in selected instances - in other ways they are collapsing and show an astonishing and frightening lack of unity. The bonding agent (an excellent candidate) and the unification of the hundreds, if not thousands, of splinter groups, FB pages fans, patriots, Republicans, conservatives, etc. has not appeared yet (and, of course, I do acknowledge the divine nature of help we have and will continue to receive - nevertheless, we must deal with things on a mortal level until further help is given). [Notice that she tip toes around faith in God, especially to help us, but is not acknowledging any ongoing, current help from the Almighty.]

BTW, I do NOT listen to Obama and I DO listen to Limbaugh, Levin (on occasion) and Hannity, as well as Beck and others, and I AM positive. [*double take* Say what?]

I am positive this country is in the worst danger in our history [Oh, ok - now I see] and I am positive that hundreds of millions of people have the ability to stop it, if they are willing to stick their necks out, gather their courage, step out of (nay, RUN from) their comfort zone, and exhibit the level of patriotism, bravery, moral fortitude, and righteous anger it will take to reverse course in this country. [9-12 March on Washington, anyone?]

I am but one person - I am trying to "be at my most productive ever", but I am not important in the overall picture. I do what I can, as everyone should, and I'll not apologize for how I go about it, what I post, what I believe and fear, and what I think should be done. [Defending her fear and loathing]

I'll never make the big difference I wish I could and I have no impact on national level policies and attitudes - I just hope the information I share influences my friends and family members in some way [oh God I hope not] - perhaps they'll agree, perhaps they won't but they'll at least think about it. I do not warrant a chastisement, I don't believe - none of us really have to do any of this, but those that do are, I believe, exhibiting a courage and strength that sometimes takes a lot of digging to find within ourselves. Being "blunt" is o.k. - I'm unthreatened by that.* But being coercive in, perhaps, mocking or denigrating how one person or another individual goes about publicly airing their views really doesn't work with the overall values and plans of true conservatives and fellow patriots.

*['Unthreatened' (sic) until I spoke more directly, and then it was enough for her to both defriend me on Facebook and remove my comments].

TheJimmy ZShow
Yes, you and every one of us is very important in the overall picture. Who told you that you were not important?

There is one thing that matters today, and that is winning the midterms. People do get scared when you promote the alarmist propaganda, and there are no concrete reasons to believe that (a) Obama will shut down the country and call for martial law and (b) that he would succeed if he tried. You have a lot of liberals who would join conservatives at that point.

But to even suggest it is extremist in my view. When Levin or Limbaugh begins to talk of the probability that Obama will terminate elections in this country, then you have something to worry about.

Cathy -----
Good - people SHOULD get scared. We have to pay attention to the alarmist views, at least part of the time. Otherwise we will be caught flat-footed when/if it happens. I'd rather be concerned about and prepared for the worst, and therefore better able to deal with it, then have my head in the sand and not have any real idea of the avalanche of evil that awaits us. I believe you have a far too benign view of what is happening, but that is your right.

Levin and Limbaugh will, if they haven't already, start addressing the issue of possibly canceling elections - I've heard a couple of public figures start on it already (can't remember which ones). [I tried to get her to elaborate on anyone; any politician, TV or radio host or blogger with a good reputation who has said Obama will seek to cancel the elections in 2010 and 2012 - no answer.]

It is not out of the realm of possibility, and it makes me frustrated when people put SO much hope and faith into being able to vote these people out this year and in 2012. [Damn that faith!] Even if elections aren't canceled the tea party movement is already splitting the party - we have enough factions and infighting that the cohesiveness necessary to toss out every last piece of crap in Washington isn't really there yet. Of course, the people in Washington know this and will quietly be "helping" the splitting of the party, [I asked 'what people'? and again got the sound of crickets] which will make things worse. It is naive to think that we have enough power and ties that bind to really do the job yet - we don't. As well, people are supposedly becoming more "tolerant" of issues like homosexuality, abortion, and the like (oftentimes because they're told other people accept it more and they simply go along with that). These divisive issues, which shouldn't be issues at all within the party and even our world at all, simply add to the problems.

I deal in reality, negative as it often seems, and I hope for the day when the positives outweigh the negatives. In referring to being important I mean that people like me have no influence on national and global occurrences and policies, which is frustrating (we are not Palin's or Romney's or Pawlenty's or Bachmann's), but we do what we can in our imperfect ways. Right now, sad as it is, the negatives badly outweigh the positives, and no matter how much we wish that was not so it is the truth. The evil we face - what is being wrought in our schools, within our families, at state government levels, within churches, and at many more levels - is mindboggling and depressing. Yet, that is why we fight - we haven't given up [Oh brother, this is contradiction to everything she just said] and we hope to effect some astonishing change for the better, no matter how overwhelming the evil is that we're up against. I don't see us winning the mid-terms, as it were, though I hope I'm wrong. Perhaps in spreading my sometimes "negative" message people will become more and more aware of the staggering damage and destruction being done on so many fronts, and THAT will help win those elections. [Scaring people, horrifying people and telling them we won't win these elections in 2010 and 2012 will motivate them into ... huh?]

Who knows. But, we keep on keepin' on, and that's the best we can do.

Tricia ------ --------
Not burying one's head in the sand and instead facing on-going atrocities as they happen is now considered being negative? Acknowledging potential political disasters/threats is now considered being negative? Reminding people what corruptness is in the works to completely change the basis and foundation this country was established on is negative? Calling a spade a spade, rather than putting pretty little flowery terms on what's really happening and pretending all is good and glorious is negative? Really???

Shall we instead wait until this country is overthrown and ruled under martial law and THEN say, "Aww man - I KNEW this was coming!"

Cathy -----
Absolutely correct. To add to that, I argue that there is a tectonic shift underneath our feet with regard to what the people see, want to believe, and are being manipulated into buying. Every previous president, though imperfect, somewhat flawed, and usually so self-confident they're self-centered, was simply that - a president, of a country, with supporters and detractors alike. They knew it, we knew it, that was accepted, and everybody worked from that fundamental beginning point. Differences were argued about, sometimes screaming matches erupted, policies were fought, bought, and taught. But, still, the man was president, of a country, with supporters and detractors alike, and we all respected those rules, limitations, opportunities, and frameworks.

Now, the framework not only does not exist, it is being imploded from within. None of the rules that applied before apply now - indeed, if you try to apply the rules, whether they are official or simply social constructs, you are vilified and labeled in every negative and hateful way possible (all incorrect and unjustified). [I have no idea who she is listening to here, but I would bet $1,000 she's listening to Alex Jones - no matter what she says]

BHO is not, in his mind, his administration's mind, and in the minds of many people (though you wonder if they actually have any, at this point), not just a president, of a country, with supporters and detractors alike. He believes, protestations aside, that he is a Messiah-like figure - he buys into his own press, he creates his own press, and he works to destroy those who question that press. He functions as a tyrant over stupid children who need to be led, and if any resistance is put up (as well it should be!) he makes no attempt to understand or cooperate. He destroys. He injures. He kills our dreams, and our bank accounts, and our military strength, and our value system, and our socially constructed rules framework that has worked since...well, since the moment this country was birthed through divine intervention. [Obama is some of these things, but that is not any reason to give up fighting against it - Constitution in hand].

It is truly dangerous when such a person, who absolutely and totally believes that he is more intelligent, enlightened, and knowledgeable than EVERYONE else, is in power - it is to our nation's discredit that we put him there (I won't take the blame for that, but so many need to), and we must remove him immediately before any more damage is done. [That's called the 2012 election] He has a skewed, distorted, hateful sense of "social justice" and sees messianic qualities within himself that are capable of carrying out the imposing of such an evil and unbalanced plan. The sociopathic qualities he exhibits are truly mindboggling - he has no ability to lower himself to the common man's level and he has no intention of doing so either.

A sociopath cares nothing about other peoples' feelings, emotions, needs, and desires - they function only to serve themselves and their own interests, and this perfectly illustrates the person (I refuse to use the word "man", as he is not one) who took over OUR White House in a bloodless coup. [No, he was duly elected in the 2008 election] The groundwork for this was laid decades ago (and BTW, yes, there IS concrete evidence of some, perhaps many, of the things he's working to carry out), and the perfect storm resulted in this disastrous, angry, bitter, manipulative person being elected to an office where the maximum amount of damage can be brought upon a nation. To think otherwise, on any level, is naive, ridiculous, and dangerous. [Not once have I argued that Obama is not a bad guy.]

TheJimmy ZShow
No, people should not get scared. People are not rightly motivated out of fear. Nonsense.

I didn't say canceling elections is out of the realm of possibility - I said it isn't likely. I would love to know what responsible congressperson, news reporter, blogger or broadcaster talked about the likelihood of elections being canceled.

Most of the tea party participants are in sync; again, it's whose columns you are reading. I interviewed Tim McClellan - good things are happening in the tea party movement, and the majority want nothing to do with a third party and a split vote.

Who will be helping 'splitting the party?' I would like specifics. 'People' isn't anyone specific.

Of course we can do the job. I grow annoyed with your negativity, yet you claim to be positive! We did the job in Massachusetts, for God's sake. That was as hopeless as anyone could fathom, taking Kennedy's seat with a Republican? This is great news. Why don't you take inspiration from this?

Who is more tolerant of abortion? Well over 60% of Americans identify themselves as 'conservative' and about 28% say they are liberal. Most Americans side with the GOP on the issue of abortion.

The Midterms are ours to lose! Have you read Dick Morris or any of the others who have analyzed what is about to happen? Why are you thinking negatively when not just a wave but a tsunami is about to take place in DC? My God, again I say, look at Massachusetts!

Yes, you DO have influence in all of these issues. Well, perhaps not you because I don't know anyone who responds well to negativity. The American people have spoken, and GOP members like those you mentioned ARE responding.

The reasons for optimism FAR and AWAY drown out the reasons for pessimism. There is no good that comes from wringing your hands and pondering the worst possible scenario. Do you really have faith? If so, there's your most powerful reason to be optimistic!

For people to not give up, they must have hope. The brand of negativity and pessimism put forth here is not hopeful. It's dreadful. We must be the voice of reason, rationality and OPTIMISM. What football coach brings his players into the locker room and says, "men, we have no chance. It's going to be really bad out there." Nope. What did David do? "Oh man, that Goliath is a big dude, I'm going to get my butt creamed."

No, he walked out there with his sling and God watching over him. We need that same optimism, that same certainty because we are on God's side and we are standing up for what is right. Do you think God will just brush us off? No shot!

TheJimmy ZShow
Tricia, there is no reason to be negative in this current situation. Concentrating on predictions of doom is not productive, motivating or inspiring! I'm not calling for anything but reality. Being negative, pessimistic and fearful is no way to win. There is a LOT of positive going on right now, and you get what you give. There is literally no reason to be fearing the worst, because it has no happened. Last time I checked, crystal balls were pure crappola.

Me, or you, or Cathy or Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh have no corner on predicting the future.

Do what must be done, get conservatives and republicans elected in 2010 and 2012, and have faith in God - praise God for what He is doing - a lot of this battle is His anyway. The stuff that scares you, the stuff that's too big for us - turn it over to him!

Cathy -----
I just posted my previous comment before yours showed up. I'm sorry you feel I'm so negative - I'm not accountable to you in any way, will not back down, and feel that the attack is unwarranted and, frankly, extremely annoying. I have a long rope, but now I'm irritated and I have lots more to do than continue to argue with someone who throws accusations and denigrating comments around. I celebrate things when good things happen and I rejoice in optimism when it is warranted - back off there, buddy. It's getting old already. If you consider me and my comments "dreadful", then dump me. Please. I don't mind discussions - I welcome them. But name-calling and ignorant, baseless comments are not welcome or encouraged. Massachusetts was a great situation, agreed, but it is NOT the end of the story. Brown has already made it clear he's a RINO, and we actually knew that before he was even elected. [That's right, we knew, and the choice was not Scott Brown vs. some great conservative wunderkind - it was Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley - a no brainer].

There's so much more to be done and we're trying to accomplish everything we can. You don't like how I do it? Take a hike. Oh, and BTW, leave off Tricia - she's my sister and one of my closest friends, and she doesn't warrant the attacks any more than I do. Now that I think about it, I'm just not going to deal with your negativity and ignorance any more. Buh-bye.

[And at this point, Ms. Optimism ran off and de-friended me. I wrote the following to her in a message].

TheJimmy ZShow
AN ADDENDUM:

-1- Obama and Rahm Emanuel say some of these things because they WANT people to freak out and get fearful and extrapolate what they've said to the most extreme & disastrous predictions. This kind of fear mongering and alarmism is exactly what they want from us!

-2- There is no such thing as 'negative optimism.'

-3- The future is not written yet. To be informed is one thing, but to predict failure and 'the end of elections in this country' is another. Why didn't Mr. Obama go in and tinker with the Massachusetts election? He needed that seat very badly.

-4- Our voices are being heard. Why do you suppose the health care bill hasn't passed yet? BECAUSE OF US!

-5- You have already backed down. Pitiful.

-6- MY negativity? HA! Looks like I got a little too close to reality for you. I intend to post our dialog on my blog, discuss it and read it in full on my radio show, and pass along to my friends this information about your negativity - and recommend that others defriend you. If you can't take the heat - you know the rest. You are part of the problem with the conservative right. You are not a part of the solution. At all.

Was I too hard on these two? Does good solid negativity and pessimism have a place in the work we need to do? Help me out here. If I am out of line, let me know.

• MY EMAIL TO ERICK ERICKSON OF REDSTATE

2010-02-13T15:52:00.000-08:00

Mr. Erickson:

I do not consider myself to be a 'birther' or a 'birfer' or any other kooky name. I am certainly not on the fringe, as my website, containing over 280 programs and 500 hours of programming will attest.

I have brought up the issue of a birth certificate a few times, usually to insist that it is not the issue we should concern ourselves with most.

I would, however, like to see the actual birth certificate. Does that make me too irrational for Red State? I'm here to tell you: The answer is no, and I'm not putting the certificate at the top of the list of important issues. I'm just saying that I'd like to see the actual document.

Now, Mr. Farah is a very good man, a conservative man, a Godly man. I am concerned about his focus (obsession?) with the birth place issue, but Mr. Obama brings a lot of this on himself by struggling to keep the documents from public scrutiny.

So for me, it does not make good sense for conservatives to separate into small groups, when we can be inclusive. We do not have to exclude people who want to know for certain. We should be inclusive at least in this regard.

Much more damaging, if you ask me, is the profiteering in the Tea Party movement, and the real appearance of crazy coming from the militia movement and the survivalists. This kind of stuff makes conservatives look nutty.

I would not want these militia types running the streets anymore than I'd want the UN troops running the streets. But the question, I think, is a fair question: Why not show us the birth certificate? Nothing more, nothing less.

Just my thoughts - I am sad to see this 'ban' because there are many good, decent, conservative Americans who are not on the fringe, who -- like me -- would like to see the actual certificate.

Best,
Jz

ECO-COMPANY TELEVISION SHOW INDOCTRINATES CHILDREN
Excerpts from an email written to Pam Gellar

I was watching some saturday morning tv while eating; (even tho I'm single and no kids) this really disturbed me. Please watch this video, one segment from a tv show for kids and hosted by kids called Eco Company:

http://www.eco-company.tv/video/crusader-alec-loorz

That show's website led me to this child's Declaration of Independence FROM FOSSIL FUELS and a lot of indoctrination sites directed toward kids, and seeking action from kids in many locations including facebook

http://kids-vs-global-warming.com/Home.html
http://www.acespace.org/declaration/see-full-petition

http://www.acespace.org/

http://breakthroughgen.org/about/

http://www.whois.net/whois/acespace.org

http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/author/globalclimatechange/

http://www.facebook.com/acespace

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/alisha-fowler/9/367/820

Then this info from a friend of mine, Gary at FreedomisKnowledge.com:

And I see Alisha Fowler's page you provided gives a link to her Web site, which is not her Web site but to the Breakthrough Institute's site that I just wrote you about, the one that funds the Breakthrough Generation, related back to ACE.

But I came across what Al Gore tried to do awhile back with our kids in an article that is still posted on my homepage under 100 Conservative Articles titled, (its date almost a year ago to the day):

Al Gore: Don't listen to your parents!

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88112

No parents were involved to these around a thousand kids, one kid smart enough to tape it.

Now I know this is long and laborious, but it seems like this kind of material fits the indoctrination reporting; If you have no interest, feel free to dismiss - I don't have ego involved here. Just passing along the material we've collected. More from Gary - he dug deep:

1. One of your links led me to Facebook, with this guy's video popping up, the Hood involved, too, his asking in the video, "Whoever you was . . . " his mother died when he was five, father in jail. He at least figured out change is jobs and changing attitudes was the answer, but sees green as a solution for the black neighborhood. I feel sorry for these kids brainwashed by the elites. Give them jobs, not spin!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wem2MC63Ufs

2. Here is the group from the Breakthrough Generation, all young college grades led by their founder Teryn Norris

http://breakthroughgen.org/fellows/

3. The leader, Norris, treats Obama as if Jim Jones of the Kool Aid crowd, writing the following to the Huffington Post contributor, Bill McKibben, McKibben complaining that Obama was the cause of the failure of Copenhagen. This is a hoot!

"I'm writing you today because, as a young clean energy and climate advocate, I believe these words are wrong and irresponsible, and I would like to respectfully request that you issue a public apology to President Obama and young climate leaders across the country.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/teryn-norris/open-letter-to-bill-mckib_b_398211.html

4. Just broke through. Found out who supports Breakthrough Generation!

Breakthrough Generation is funded by the Breakthrough Institute, run by famous environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, who I bet it tapped into government funding from Obama. Here is your proof I just researched for the last hour.

"In the summer of 2008, Breakthrough Institute founded its young leaders initiative, Breakthrough Generation, to equip the next generation of young leaders with the tools, experience, and philosophy to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Breakthrough is currently recruiting Georgetown students for its 2010 summer fellowship program. Each summer, Breakthrough Generation fellows are fully engaged in these issues through a intensive period of reading, writing, and discussions with the nation’s foremost experts on energy, innovation, and national security policy. Throughout the summer, Breakthrough Generation fellows also work closely on various projects with Breakthrough Institute’s staff that will inform and guide policymakers and the public at large about the needed responses to these critical issues. Breakthrough Fellows have published in the Harvard Law & Policy Review, San Francisco Chronicle, Baltimore Sun, and the Huffington Post, and their projects have been cited in the New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine, the Financial Times, and the Wall Street Journal, among others."

http://events.georgetown.edu/events/index.cfm?Action=View&CalendarID=234&EventID=73641

Here is quick overview of Michael Shellenberger.

http://events.georgetown.edu/events/index.cfm?Action=View&CalendarID=234&EventID=73641

5. This group is a typical progressive organization backed by Obama, the voters giving Obama the keys to our treasury to provide life to these organizations though OUR stimulus money, not providing jobs but pushing agendas for jobs already existing, in this case for the green environment .

But my greatest worry is not this group but the one I discovered that was co-founded by Diane Ty, called Youth Noise.

This is the org that is world-wide, pushing radical agendas to youth around the globe. If you remember Ty is a two-year consultant for AARP, YES AARP!

The new AARP president likes her, and got the board to approve HER idea of sending out information to America's youth, an idea developed with Ty by Andy Stern of SEIU. So AARP will use membership dues to program youth into progressive programs, probably related to Marxism seeing who is involved.

I think you can type-in Diane Ty into my Atomz search engine and come to the article I had published on this, not getting one response from Beck or O'Reilly on my innocent finding, a story published in all places by Business Week.

http://www.youthnoise.com/

Go to their URL menu and put your mouse over Causes and you will see where all the progressives tentacles are into around the world. Your jaw will drop!

Hope this all helps. Sorry it took so long. I wanted to find out who supported this organization, worried Soros was directly involved. But found no connection, only to radical green groups with fanatical love of Obama.

• Obama's Self-Awareness is Unnerving

2010-02-12T07:01:00.000-08:00

As Obama was running for President of the United States, I made no shortage of republican enemies by suggesting that his election might be the best possible outcome. In supporting this assertion , I made three specific observations;

• Not electing the Republican removes the ''villian'' figure so vital to the success of liberalism.
• By attempting to actually enact the Obama agenda, the mask would come of and the left would be finally seen as the radicals that they are.
• Obama was copiously unaware of how much of a puppet he truly was going to be and had no clue what he was in store for.

Though I feel I can most assuredly say that I was validated on the first two points, I am not so sure on the third. For the most unnerving thing to watch is how, reacting to the iceberg coming into view, prominent Democrats from Jim Webb to Doug Wilder to Ben Nelson to Blanche Lincoln are pleading for a course correction, only to see Obama stubbornly reaffirm the very course and speed guaranteed to cause the greatest impact.

This week, Gallup released a survey that showed Obama polling 44% against an unnamed republican in a hypothetical 2012 match up. Think about the ramifications of that. 56% of the American electorate nows says... "Palin ... Huckabee ... Romney ... McCain ... or the flying spaghetti monster. We don't care! Anyone but Obama!"

When the man elected President by the largest vote total ever, is losing by double digits to a ghost, 15 months later, how can one not take notice?

If you think I am exaggerating the point, think again. An incumbent's job approval and reelect numbers are the best possible indicators of what that incumbent will get on election day. President's Bush 41 and 43, and Bill Clinton, as well as countless other politicians like John Corzine got exactly the vote percentages their approval / reelect numbers indicated. Right now, both of those figures put Obama at 44%. That means, that if the election were today, Obama's defeat wouldn't be a probability, it would be an absolute certainty. In fact, his numbers are roughly in the middle of the area between Michael Dukakis, who lost 40 states, and Walter Mondale, who lost 49. If the election is today, Obama loses 56-44 or darn close to it.

Gone would be all 10 of the former W swing states Obama took in 2008 but that would just be the beginning. Michigan? Gone. Pennsylvania? Toast. Wisconsin, Minnesota and possibly even New Jersey, Maine, Maryland, Delaware, Washington and Oregon.

Looking at the 2010 landscape, there doesn't seem to be a spot of earth Democrats can find for a firm foothold. Even stalwart libs like Barbara Boxer and Charles Schumer could be in danger.

Faced with this prospect in 1995, Bill Clinton triangulated. Faced with it in 2010, Obama yawns.

If Obama truly is completely aware
of what he is doing and totally
comfortable with the absolute
certainty of his own inability to be
reelected, then we must be truly alarmed.

Does Obama really have that much of a tin ear or is there something else afoot here? The question is one we all assumed we knew the answer to. Obama, some of us surmised, really is a clueless sicophant, totally oblivious to the electoral destruction he has wrought on his own party. Others have speculated that it is not his intellect but his stubborn, narcissistic pride that makes it impossible for him to yield. Both views are credible and do not lack in supporting evidence.

However, his recent interview with Diane Sawyer, as well as his clash with Blanche Lincoln, have forced us to examine a third- and far more frightening- possibility. This third possibility had previously been raised by only a few- Rush Limbaugh among them.

Possibility number three is that Obama has always known he would hit the iceberg and, for reasons too disturbing to examine heretofore, is not at all distressed by the prospect of sinking the ship. In fact, as all on board are running for lifeboats, he is busy conducting the orchestra to play his masterpiece even as the ship goes down.

I am not comfortable waxing conspiratorial but one must examine this possibility in response to his chillingly frank comments to Sawyer and Lincoln that it is not his job to get reelected, that he would much rather be a ''very good one term President" (in his own estimation) and that nothing is to be gained by doing anything in the fashion of the previous administration.

In other words, as all three statements indicate, given the choice between implementing his radical agenda, and getting reelected, Obama is more than happy to settle on the former over the latter. This is not idle speculation on my part, he has said as much. Just look at his disturbingly obtuse reaction to the stunning election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts;

"Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," the president said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years."

So, Scott Brown won because of Bush? Obama cannot possibly believe that. Here's another charmer;

"I hope we don't lose sight of why we're here," Obama said. "We've got to finish the job on health care. We've got to finish the job on financial regulatory reform. We've got to finish the job, even though it's hard."

and this jaw dropper...

"If anybody is searching for a lesson from Massachusetts, I promise you the answer is not to do nothing," Obama said. He later told senators to avoid their instinct in tough times to "tread lightly, keep your head down and to play it safe."

In other news, Obama guaranteed that the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns would play each other in Super Bowl 45.

See if you follow my point here. Scott Brown went from a 30 point deficit to a 5 point victory in 6 weeks by doing just one thing- explicitely promising to be the 41st vote to stop Obama's healthcare plan. In short, Brown won by promising to prevent the Titanic from hitting the iceberg. Vulnerable democrats, anxious to stop the bleeding would have great cause for relief even if they could not publicly say so.

Unfortunately, much to their great consternation, Obama's response was to say- in so many words- that the frustration expressed in the Massachusetts election- is because of the thwarting of his efforts to ram the iceberg. If Democrats want to take the correct lesson from Massachusetts, he asserts, then they need to redouble their efforts to hit the iceberg by all means. For, hitting the iceberg is the only possible way of keeping the ship from sinking.

One could easily (and understandably) conclude from this that Obama is certifiably insane. Or, one could also conclude that he is crazy, alright ... crazy like a fox.

If Obama truly is completely aware of what he is doing and totally comfortable with the absolute certainty of his own inability to be reelected, then we must be truly alarmed. Yet, the all to frightening reality is that that is exactly where the evidence points.

The outrage at Obama's agenda caused 2 million people to march on Washington in September of last year. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get two million people to march on Washington? Especially two million Conservatives who have lives?

Obama is now openly tossing aside his
oath to Americans that anyone making
less than $250,000 a year won't see
their taxes increase- in his words-
''one single dime''.

Obama never even looked up. He didn't even try to downplay the event or spin it or rationalize it. His reaction to Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts endeared the same indifference, as did the losses in Virginia and New Jersey. Falling back on the Titanic analogy again, Obama has now hit the iceberg and the ship is sinking fast. Obama's only reaction is the same as Mr. Ismay's... "When can we get going again, damnit!?".

If Obama is determined to hold to a ''damn the torpedos, full speed ahead'' approach, then we are powerless to stop him solely by changing public opinion. We simply must stop him by taking actual seats of power from his party.

Looking ahead to Obama's imminent election, many thought (myself included) that the short term damage of an Obama Presidency might pay off by the long term damage to the Democratic party. Now it appears the Obama's political calculation may be that even the long term damage to the Democratic brand will pale in comparison to the structural changes he can make towards a permanent socialist ascendancy.

Humor me on this. Hear me out.

If Obama's job, in his estimation, is not to get reelected, what is his job? Does Obama see himself as a greater servant of the cause? A political martyr, if you will? Most soldiers put coming home as one of their top priorities but a few care little if they come home or not. An even smaller number know they aren't coming home and are pleased at the prospect of Jihad or Kamikaze or whatever you wish to call it. Is Obama a suicide bomber in the political sense?

Consider a news story that just came to light. Obama's administration is attempting to have imprisoned inner city felons- who cannot vote- counted as part of the equation used to assign electoral votes and congressional districts. Think about the ramifications of this. Your state will not only get greater government assistance and congressional representation, but will actually hold more sway in a Presidential election in direct proportion to the increase in violent crime in your state. Those states who reduce crime will actually suffer as a result. The state with 2 million murderers, rapists and child molesters gets more electoral votes than the state with only a million. Since it is a proven fact that socialism contributes to poverty and poverty contributes to crime, Obama is actually trying to implement a mechanism that would permanently enslave Americans to a vicious cycle of dependency on Socialist government.

Is this the only- isolated- example of this truth? Hardly.

Hidden within the Senate version of the health care bill is a structural Senate rule change that would prevent repeal, of Government arbitrated control of health care rationing, from even being considered before the Senate. The language actually states that any such motion would be a violation of Senate rules of order!

Can you imagine? Censorship by legislative edict!

Further, the health care bill is structured such that all current illegal aliens residing in the United States would receive instant amnesty and, as a direct result of their inability to document legal income, would receive government run health care at our expense.

Oh, but there's more...

Did you know that the tax based cost structure of the bill would mean that a married couple filing jointly would pay up to $10,000 more annually for their government run health care than for two single persons making the exact same combined income? This is an insidious return of- and even doubling of- the marriage penalty.

Let me spell that out. Joey and Martha Smith, parents of two, married for 35 years. Combined income $59,000. Bruce and Sylvester, radical homosexual activists, living together in hedonistic perversion. Combined income $59,000. Tyrone and Lawanda, shaking up together. Lawanda has six kids by six fathers. Combined income $59,000. Juan and Julio and 15 family members in a 1 bedroom apartment. Combined income. $59,000

All but the Smiths get $2,000 health care. For the Smiths, it's $12,000.

Call me a racist, xenophobic homophobe if you must, but be sure and explain this to Mr. and Mrs. Smith first. I'd be curious to hear their thoughts on the matter.

Add, to these provisions, a hundred other proposals of team Obama;

• Card check legislation that would abolish the secret ballot and force many- by intimidation- into government influenced unions.
• Cap and trade which would cause energy prices to skyrocket, pushing millions more into poverty and government run dependency.
• Forced community service without pay. In esscence, slavery.
• Government control of education and the capping of salaries.
• Government takeover of banks and other buisnesses and franchise awards based on government patronage rather than merit.
• The''fairness doctrine'' and other attempts to muzzle free speech and the press, such as an open war on conservative radio and Fox News.
• An open suppression of the free expression of religion by criminalizing age old religious views about homosexuality, abortion and the religion of Islam.
• An open assault on the buying power of Americans by devaluing the dollar through massive spending and the forced rise of fuel costs, through an iron fisted opposition to American energy independence.

All of these things may not be implemented, to be sure, but it will not be due to a lack of effort by the Obama administration.

Case in point. According to Rasmussen reports, six in ten Americans now reject Keynesian economics as a way to stimulate job growth and 3 in 4 reject current federal government policies generally vis-a-vis the economy.

The Obama response? Double down on a losing bet.

Not only did he endorse yet another massive spending bill but he is publicly bragging about his intention to let the Bush tax cuts expire; Obama is now openly tossing aside his oath to Americans that anyone making less than $250,000 a year won't see their taxes increase- in his words- ''one single dime''.

Is this Obama's ''read my lips'' moment? Absolutely. However, unlike Bush 41, who was cornered by a hostile congress, Obama is not at all timid about the prospect of ever exploding deficits, ever increasing taxes and the assured wrath of the voters that comes from the deliberate rejection of his own solemn vow.

In short, Obama, for whatever reason, just flat out doesn't give a flip.

If we can accept that most certain reality- and we can- it is more than fair to speculate on the modus behind it. For me, it is becomming clearer and clearer that Obama is, not so much concerned with the political winds of 2010, or even 2012. He seems to be looking at laying the groundwork of a future, structured socialist permancy. He does not even seem concerned whether he ever receives the credit or the blame. Whereas Clinton was obsessed with his image and legacy, Obama is obsessed with his agenda. I am not exaggerating the contrast, it really is stark. To get reelected, Clinton ditched Carville's and Begala's in your face liberalism in favor of Dick Morris's moderate pragmatism. Obama has done the opposite! With each electoral setback, he braces himself more forcefully against the blizzard winds and continues marching forward into his socialist abyss.

Obama appears to see himself as a willing foot soldier in a much, much larger war to ensure ''equality'' as he defines it. Whereas we thought he was the dupe, he may very well be an evil genius that cares little about how many casualties his own side suffers.... as long as he takes the hill. Can he be stopped from taking it? Certainly! But it would be very unwise of us to imagine that he can be pressured into stopping himself.

Examine his own rhetoric. Obama is determined to ''punch his health care bill through from the five yard line.''

http://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/obama-health-care-is-on-5-yard-line-and-weve-got-to-punch-it-through/

This is a game to him. Victory, to him, is not measured by winning the hearts and minds of Americans but by getting his schemes in the endzone ...

... at any cost.

• REUTERS TAX ARTICLE WITHDRAWN

Backdoor taxes to hit middle class

By Terri Cullen Terri Cullen – Mon Feb 1, 4:09 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters.com) --The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.

In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.

While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.

The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010.

If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.

Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 -- though there has been talk about reinstating the death tax sooner.

Millions of middle-class households already may be facing higher taxes in 2010 because Congress has failed to extend tax breaks that expired on January 1, most notably a "patch" that limited the impact of the alternative minimum tax. The AMT, initially designed to prevent the very rich from avoiding income taxes, was never indexed for inflation. Now the tax is affecting millions of middle-income households, but lawmakers have been reluctant to repeal it because it has become a key source of revenue.

Without annual legislation to renew the patch this year, the AMT could affect an estimated 25 million taxpayers with incomes as low as $33,750 (or $45,000 for joint filers). Even if the patch is extended to last year's levels, the tax will hit American families that can hardly be considered wealthy -- the AMT exemption for 2009 was $46,700 for singles and $70,950 for married couples filing jointly.

Middle-class families also will find fewer tax breaks available to them in 2010 if other popular tax provisions are allowed to expire. Among them:

* Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes;

* The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies;

* The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses;

* Individuals who don't itemize will no longer be able to increase their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid;

* The first $2,400 of unemployment benefits are taxable, in 2009 that amount was tax-free.

2010-01-19T15:51:00.000-08:00

Friends,

Those of you who may have uploaded the show previously today may have gotten a not so nice surprise. I won't excuse it; I can only ask for your forgiveness.

I record the first hour of the Tuesday show the night before. Last night, I was over tired and made some - oh let's call it grammatical errors - but it was really uttering some vulgarity which was wholly inappropriate. I was cutting the opening of the show for the 5th take and really blurted out some obscenity that is just not at all right or excusable. I pulled the show - it's reloading now - but I thought instead of trying to pretend it didn't happen, I would face the music and let you know how embarrassed I am.

I hope I don't lose all of you, but I suppose I may lose some. Again, I apologize and ask that you would forgive me.

• MARRIAGE ON TRIAL IN CALIFORNIA

2010-01-10T23:53:00.000-08:00

The legal battle to determine the constitutionality of California’s definition of marriage – enacted via Prop 8 as being only between a man and a woman – will begin in a few short hours in a San Francisco federal courthouse.

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of this case to the future of marriage in America. Not only is the constitutionality of California’s Prop 8 at stake, but so are the marriage laws of 45 other states and the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Our incredible legal team, led by Chuck Cooper and Andy Pugno and assisted by the Alliance Defense Fund, has worked tirelessly for months to prepare for this historic defense of marriage. As Andy Pugno recently said, this case has the potential to be the Roe v Wade for marriage. Most legal observers expect it will go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Please keep our Prop 8 attorneys, sponsors, consultants and supporters in your prayers as this trial unfolds. Ask God to impart His wisdom and strength as we undergo this trial. Many of us will be put on the stand and cross-examined by hostile attorneys bent on establishing that support for traditional marriage is akin to racial discrimination. Yet the institution of marriage has served society well throughout the history of our country, and never was considered a political issue until homosexual marriage activists decided to redefine it to suit their own interests.

Former Attorney General Edwin Meese III appreciates the importance of this battle and penned an op-ed just published in the New York Times. It’s an excellent piece that can be read it by clicking here.

In addition to your prayers, we ask again for a generous financial gift to allow us to continue our defense of marriage. This case has cost millions of dollars getting to trial, and will cost us millions more to win the final victory before the U.S. Supreme Court, for which we are all praying. We have no source of income other than the faithful contributions of you and other supporters. Please, make a contribution today.

We pledge to keep in constant communication with you throughout the trial. We will be sending updates and providing links to interesting and informative coverage and commentary. We also will maintain an active blog on protectmarriage.com as well as our social networking vehicles via Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.

Thank you for all your efforts to support Proposition 8 and the institution of marriage. Your prayers and support have sustained us and give us confidence that we will prevail in this historic battle.

Joining together in prayer,
Ron Prentice, Executive Director

• HARRY REID GETS AWAY WITH RACIST COMMENT

2010-01-10T08:28:00.001-08:00

By Jimmy Z

You might think Barack Obama forgave Harry Reid because Obama knows his heart, and Harry would never really BE a racist... but you see, it's not about racism or the nasty thing Harry Reid said.

Liberals are liberals first. Everything else comes after.

This is why we conservatives can't keep up with them, because for many conservatives, God and family come first, THEN our country, after that politics and conservatism.

For liberals, liberalism and the leftist agenda comes first. You can have Jesse Jackson saying "I want to cut his nuts off" (TRUE) and that's forgiven.

Harry Reid says "he lacks the negro dialect" unless he needs or wants to use it (Harry is right about Obama by the way - I have heard him use some 'black' speak when it suits him) and that's forgiven because the agenda -- moving health care forward -- is more important than slapping Harry around for being a racist.

There is nothing that liberals won't 'forgive' in order to forward their agenda. That's why liberal women kept their mouths shut as Bill Clinton was busy womanizing.

That's why feminists and the National Organization for Women keep quiet as girl babies are aborted -- thousands every day!

That's why Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson remained silent -- DEAD silent; only the sound of crickets was heard -- after it was revealed that Planned Parenthood was ON TAPE (it's on Youtube), excitedly accepting a donation earmarked for the abortion of BLACK babies!

Jesse and Al know that abortion affects the black race most severely -- they don't care. They are liberal first. Some have called abortion 'self induced black genocide' but for Jesse and Al being liberal is job one. Margaret Sanger designed Planned Parenthood for the purpose of thinning out the black race, but liberalism is more important to Jesse and Al.

It's not about black people for those two -- it is not about racism. It's about LIBERALISM.

I never doubted that Obama would immediately 'forgive' Harry Reid, because Reid is doing his liberal job well. Obama could give a crap how racist Reid is -- he just wants his liberal agenda to get through.

Notice though that Reid ONLY apologized because the information came to light.

BARACK OBAMA

What did O do here?

Basically removed protective measures for the sovereignty of our law enforcement of the land and gave Interpol power over our Constitution. It is the beginning step of putting Interpol out of the reach of our sovereign law jurisdiction, even our millitary, a move that GWB fought hard against. Now Obama is going to accomplish that and reverse GWB's stand against it. Through this move, Obama could very well dissolve agreements made between GW and other nations concerning the turning over of our troops to the ICC via Interpole, and to the states or nations with grievances. This gives full Interpol full diplomatic immunity, allows them to operate with inviolable archives from within our own buildings. What few Americans know and understand, is that we have some of our own law enforcement officers who work under the aegis of Interpol within the Justice Department.

There's no way an internet discussion on this matter is going to begin to be enough of an outcry against this hideous sin against the Constitution, the citizenry, law enforcement, and the military of the United States. This POTUS is going to turn our nation into a signatory to the ICC, International Criminal Court. The first move places Interpol above the Constitution and our domestic law enforcement. Of course, the Armed Services are next. Beware, beware, beware!!!

If you want to blog something serious, blog this. Just leave my name out of it. I've given you the exact Executive Order 12425 from both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama above. Your readers can see the difference.

• CHRISTMAS POST No. 1

2009-12-23T19:22:00.000-08:00

The text of SonlitKnight's Christmas message, as heard in The Jimmy Z Christmas Show. --Jz

Hello Everyone,

My good friend and brother in Christ, Jimmy Z has asked me to say a few words to you about Christmas. Unfortunately, what Christmas is, and what it means to me, cannot be summed up in words- at least not my words. Of the words in Scripture, I think the prophetic words of the prophet Isaiah come closest when he talks of the people walking in darkness seeing the great light. This great, powerful chapter of prophecy (Isaiah 9) gives rise to the great Christmas classic ‘’for unto us a child is born”. This, despite the fact that Isaiah prophesized those epic words centuries before the blessed event that we call ‘’the Nativity’’ and memorialize in a season called “Christmas”.

The exact date of the Nativity is something we cannot know with absolute certainty, although intense Biblical and historical study have convinced me that Jesus was born on December 25th, 1 BC, exactly as the calendar prescribes. Nevertheless, not knowing with certitude the exact date of that Silent, holy night, should not prevent one from fully contemplating why the early Christian church identified it as the one, singular event around which all time is measured. Take a moment to think about that.

In short, Christmas day is at the center and summit of all days. None in history before or since, reach it in importance. Some Christians argue that Good Friday or Easter surpasses it. I disagree, and so, obviously did the early church. The reason is simple. Christmas is where it begins for us. Christmas is the ultimate day of paradox. Christmas is the day when the impossible triumphed over the possible, when despair was crushed by hope. Not the vain and empty hope offered by shallow politicians but the healing hope of Immanuel- that is, “God with us”.

It IS that day of the great light and how great a light it is! The true light that enlightens every man came into the world. As Christian singer Michael Card penned; “eternity stepped into time”.

As I said before, Christmas is a time of paradox and that is what makes it so wonderful and overwhelming for believers and so incomprehensible and impossible for the lost. For one who can see only with his limited eyes, hear only with his weak ears and comprehend only with his frail mind, nothing exists beyond light and shadow and depth and height. For this one, there is nothing that exists that cannot be perceived by the senses and there is no line of demarcation between paradox and contradiction.

It is his loss. He will never understand how a woman’s most painful experience exists, simultaneously with her most joyous, in the miracle of childbirth. He will never understand how anyone can feel joy even in the midst of the deepest and darkest despair, as in the death of a loved one.

That joy is the miracle of Christmas. That spark of light that pierced the enveloping darkness and took from pain and sadness and suffering, and even death, it’s victory. As the Apostle Paul says, in mocking the powers of darkness, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (Corinthians 15:55).

Can we exist in a world without pain or sorrow or death or darkness? No, not yet. But know this. I look out my window right now, in the midst of a blizzard and I see a world blanketed in the purity of white. I see a hundred colors of light piercing a marshmallow frosting on housetops and balconies, trees and bushes and inside windows, I see trees in a blaze of silver and gold and green and red and blue, shimmering in dazzling light. I also see children playing, kicking up the snow and shoppers bustling about with arms full of packages and joy and excitement on so many faces.

And above it all, set against the sheet of white, I see the steeples of churches cutting the sky and calling us all back home.

Close your eyes and feel the snow on your face and listen to the children laugh and hear the majestic bells pierce the wind. Then let your mind wander in joyous rapture to a frigid winter night where a baby is cradled in the arms of a young mother, as the shiver in the stable amongst cattle and sheep.

As you open your eyes to the shock of snow and light, the explosion of color that leaps forth from the white canvas, you can feel the magic of this time of year. It fills every cell and penetrates every molecule. The joy of family and presents and eggnog and music are all part of the experience. I am sure your home will smell like pine and cinnamon and turkey and pumpkin pie all at once.

Yet, amidst all the noise of children running from room to room, the furious tearing of paper, the deep baritone of grandpa laughing with the grandkids, the sweet smells pouring from the kitchen, with be a still small voice that brings inexpressible joy to your heart. A holy haunting, carried on the softest breath of wind, borne on the wings of the ghosts of Christmas past.

It is that small voice that is not merely the center of your Christmas but the center of your life. Be recharged this Christmas, be rededicated. It is that light, that Great light, that will help you find your way through the coming darkness.

RONALD REAGAN'S CHRISTMAS ADDRESS
December 15 1983

My fellow Americans:

In just a moment we'll be lighting our National Christmas Tree, continuing a wonderful tradition that was started by President Coolidge 60 years ago.

I know there's a special feeling that we share when we push the button lighting up that tree. It's as if each one of those twinkling lights sends a new spirit of love, hope, and joy through the heart of America.' And, of course, the brightest light of all is the Star of Peace, expressing our hopes and prayers for peace for our families, our communities, our nation, and the world.

On behalf of our fellow citizens, Nancy and I would like to thank all of you on the Ellipse who have given America such a beautiful Christmas present, the 1983 Pageant for Peace.

Christmas is a time for giving, and as we reach out to family and friends, I hope we'll also open our hearts to those who are lonely and in need, citizens less fortunate than ourselves, brave soldiers working to preserve peace from the tip of Alaska to the shores of Lebanon, to the DMZ in Korea, families maintaining a constant vigil for their missing in action, and millions forbidden the freedom to worship a God who so loved the world that He gave us the birth of the Christ Child so that we might learn to love each other. I know they would welcome your expressions of love and support.

Many stories have been written about Christmas. Charles Dickens' "Carol" is probably the most famous. Well, I'd like to read some lines from a favorite of mine called, "One Solitary Life," which describes for me the meaning of Christmas. It's the story of a man born of Jewish parents who grew up in an obscure village working in a carpenter shop until he was 30 and then for 3 years as a preacher. And, as the story says, he never wrote a book, he never held an office, he never had a family, he never went to college, he never traveled 200 miles from the place where he was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness.

While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied him. He was turned over to his enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While he was dying, his executioners gambled for the only piece of property that he had on Earth. When he was dead he was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave.

Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone. And today he is the centerpiece of much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon Earth as powerfully as this one solitary life.

I have always believed that the message of Jesus is one of hope and joy. I know there are those who recognize Christmas Day as the birthday of a great and good man, a wise teacher who gave us principles to live by. And then there are others of us who believe that he was the Son of God, that he was divine. If we live our lives for truth, for love, and for God, we never need be afraid. God will be with us, and He will be part of something much larger, much more powerful and enduring than any force here on Earth.

Now, tonight I have a very special person here with me to spread our Christmas joy. Her name is Amy Benham, and she comes all the way from Westport, Washington. Amy recently wrote the leaders of a public-spirited project named "Make A Wish" and said, "The Christmas tree that lights up for our country must be seen all the way to heaven. I would wish so much to help the President turn on those Christmas lights."

Well, Amy, the nicest Christmas present I could receive is helping you make your dream come true. When you press the button over here—we're going over there-the whole world will know that Amy Benham lit up the skies, sending America's love, hope, and joy all the way to heaven and making the angels sing.

And now, you and I will walk over so you can light the tree. And then after that's done we'll all join in singing one of our favorite Christmas carols, "Joy to the World." So, let's go over here.

• CHRISTMAS & TYRANTS

2009-12-22T19:16:00.000-08:00

YOUR RADIO HOST IS FILLED WITH RAGE
I wrote this piece but words come with difficulty
Is it righteous hatred I feel?

Merry Christmas. So far, this is my least favorite Christmas ever.

Everything added up all together has given me a gnarly ache in my stomach this year at Christmastime. It's not like Christmas needs to be this effervescent exclamation of joy and nirvana, but usually - like I said on the show - people do settle down. I will have to force myself this year to settle down and relax. I am so angry at what the leftist politicians are doing.

It would be different if I knew that 55% or 60% or more of my fellow Americans wanted this damned thing. Then the democrats would not have to be so (I'd really like to swear mightily here) damned sneaky and underhanded and dastardly in their take over of our health care. And, I'd just have to tell myself 'hey, that's what Americans want!' and put up with it.

But we have won the battle for the minds are hearts of the American people. And this perfect storm of liberalism running amuck has produced all the votes they need in order to tell the American people, 'F you, we do what we want'. You've heard my show, so you know how far they've gone to break rules and change rules, even preventing -- it appears -- our hopes of repealing the law. At best, it would take so long to pursue repealing the law in court, what with all of the questions about different areas being constitutional, the law would be in effect for a long time before we found ourselves able to really do anything about it.

Save divine intervention from Heaven
above, Obama's aggressive anti-Americanism
could damage freedom and liberty for good
in this country, and for the rest of our
lives we'd be stuck with what was
left of a once great United States.

Toss into the mix that some democrats like Al Franken shouldn't even be there, and the result is an unstoppable machine of power and liberal ideology. They are so filled with hate, rage and disdain for freedom and liberty, they will do everything they can to end it - right now, no delays. The worst poll numbers for Obama and Congress do not matter. Screw the polls - they will take over and there is nothing that you puny Americans can do about it.

So Christmas has an ugly veneer this year. I should separate it and enjoy the day for what it is, but it's not going to be easy. I am watching my country being stolen from me and I cannot put an end to the nightmare. Sure, an unprecedented conservative revolution is likely in 2010, just as we predicted during the 2008 campaign. But I fear it will be far too little, far too late.

One of my great friends told me, back in the summer of 2008, that if John McCain lost we could undo whatever damage Obama and the democrats did when we took back the majority in the House in 2010. But I told him then, and I'm telling you now, that the damage might be too great to undo. That save divine intervention from Heaven above, Obama's aggressive anti-Americanism could damage freedom and liberty for good in this country, and for the rest of our lives we'd be stuck with what was left of a once great United States.

I was told at the time that John McCain would be just as bad for the country as Obama, and worse for the conservative movement. While I am certain that the latter is true, I am just as certain that the former is not. President McCain would never have led us down this path. President McCain would never have pursued this unGodly power grab, having the government take control of our entire health care industry. President McCain would not have led us into deeper debt and astronomical deficit spending. President McCain would not have bowed to other leaders in the Middle East and the Orient.

So here we are, with the President that 52.5% of the people elected (and for whom many of those now question their choice). And Mr. Obama does not care what the American people think. He could not care less. He doesn't care that his poll numbers are in the toilet. He sees himself like no President has ever before. He has spent quality time with Chavez and Ortega. He wants to be like them. And he is moving in that direction as quickly as he can, with his political demon-helpers Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Damn them all to hell. If I wasn't so filled with the joy of Christmas, I would pray God to smite them where they stand.

First of all, Blog Talk Radio did not end my association with them -- I ended my association with Blog Talk Radio -- for two very good reasons. These are: First, the management. Blog Talk Radio is operated by far-left ideologues who do not understand anything about good radio, and would rather put limits on the best of the best than to allow the single most creative radio show (mine!) to bloom.

Second -- and probably more importantly: The sound at Blog Talk Radio is horrible. The equipment I use is top flight. I have one of the finest mics available and for that matter, one of the best voices in radio, and neither was up to the challenge of working with the system at Blog Talk Radio.

Before we finish with Blog Talk Radio, let us take a minute to remind you that it was our show, The American Truth Warriors Show at Blog Talk Radio that exposed the handle fraud in the first place, and we moved to prove conclusively that you and your friends faked 'Troops handles' (iraq_troops was one, afghan_troops was another) to gain attention for your shows on Blog Talk Radio -- shows where you continued to copy our bits, innovations and show concepts.

My program, like Mr.
Limbaugh's, is about
what I think. It is about
what I care about.

It was myself & my partner, with Debra JM Smith and Matt Buff who pissed you off something awful when we gathered to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We exposed the handles, and within an hour the fraud troops names were replaced. I was notified by the Blog Talk Radio system and found out that the names had changed. When that was reported in our next investigation on the show, the renamed fake accounts disappeared entirely.

All of this chicanery on your part was done with the knowledge of Blog Talk Radio for publicity. It was said by yourself and many others that there were hundreds of troops gathered with lap tops listening for hours and hours at a time to various Blog Talk Radio shows. We proved that was not happening. We had a guest on our show who works daily with the troops in the middle east and she told our listeners that this was -- in fact -- not happening.

You act as if The Jimmy Z Show needs callers to become more complete or gather more listeners. I assure you this is not the case. Like Rush Limbaugh, I don't have to take callers to make the show compelling.

My program, like Mr. Limbaugh's, is about what I think. It's about what I care about. While I do look forward to the inclusion of some listeners calling in (and that is going to happen very soon! And you know that; you and I both know you are listening to the latest Jimmy Z Shows), its not as if there is only MY voice on every show.

Also, let me remind you that it was you and your hoodlum friends in a chat room who once said of me 'you are like a cross between Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern.' And that was because of what I was typing! I've never received a bigger compliment and I will never forget it.

Blog Talk Radio would have
been smart to work with me,
but I literally thank God for
moving me away from their
limitations, poor character
and lousy sound.

The Jimmy Z Show has had some of the best interviews on radio anywhere. And because I'm not limited by time constraints on commercial radio, the interviews go into greater depth and detail than you will find elsewhere on radio OR television. Add to that the regular commentary by my former partner -- colorful political commentary comparable to Dick Morris or Scott Rasmussen -- and all the other guests, and you have a variety of opinion on talk radio second to none.

The Jimmy Z Show is also heard on US Web Talk Radio and will debut on other internet radio websites this coming week. When you say 'no one can handle' The Jimmy Z Show, I have no idea on earth what you mean! The show has been consistent and grown exponentially. I suppose that's why you are upset, and I understand.

Now as to your empty threats, you and I both know you're full of baloney -- hooey, as I like to say. There was no such occurrence. You and I both know that. While you can fool all of the liberals all of the time, you cannot threaten Jimmy Z any of the time, because I cannot be fooled -- especially considering that this is my life you're talking about. It's not like I wake up some mornings and think, 'hey, maybe that did happen after all!'

No, your lies get nowhere with me. Sorry to say, you're wasting your time. You would be funny if you weren't so awfully sad.

Blog Talk Radio would have been smart to work with me, but I literally thank God for moving me away from their limitations, poor character and lousy sound. I now have a program that is tight and professional, with sound on par with FM radio. The future is bright and The Jimmy Z Show can only get better. Hard to believe, I know, but improvement is one thing I always strive for.

I thank you for this opportunity to outline the advantages of doing my show my way on my own site. I think it is about a month premature, and I'll probably do some kind of 'state of the show' bit on the show after the first of the year. You spoke of anniversaries: The Jimmy Z Show will have it's first year anniversary on January 17th.

I trust you'll be listening.
Best regards,
Jz

THE BLUE DOGS WHO VOTED FOR PELOSI-CARE

2009-11-07T22:06:00.000-08:00

These are the Blue Dog Coalition members who voted for the Pelosi bill. They voted for, among other things, for the federal government to FORCE Americans to buy health care insurance, or to pay a fine, or even to go to jail for up to five years.

Make them suffer with constant harassment in the form of protests, phone call, faxes and personal visits. DO NOT LET UP. They're going home for the Thanksgiving break. They need to know that they will NEVER be re-elected.

BE SURE to listen to The Jimmy Z Show, ON DEMAND Monday thru Friday!
All 200+ shows since January 17, 2009 are posted and ready
for listening any time. Do not miss Monday's show!

• NY 23rd - DOUG HOFFMAN NEEDS YOUR HELP ... RIGHT NOW!

FROM A GOOD FRIEND ON THE INSIDE
Doug Hoffman's campaign needs you to join the fight
This battle is far from over
CONTACT THE CAMPAIGN NOW

(I am delighted to pass this along from inside the campaign. Please do what you can! --Jz)

'As many of you know, I have been working on Doug Hoffman's outreach campaign. And as most know by now, it's a neck and neck race with 3rd Party Conservative Doug Hoffman and a typical Obama Democrat now that the liberal 'Republican' Scozzafava suspended her campaign yesterday. The time has come to throw down the gauntlet for the survival of the Republican Party and lure it back to its core beliefs. The election is TUESDAY.

"This is truly a time to take a stand. This campaign may be a local upstate NY 23rd Congressional District election, but it WILL ABSOLUTELY have national ramifications in setting the tenor for the ever so important 2010 elections.

"Because Scozzafava suspended her campaign does not make Doug a shoe-in by any means. Many of her supporters may defect to the Democrat, with whom her positions were far more aligned.

"If you can donate a few bucks, great; click below. If not, please just forward on to those who you think may be able to.

Click HERE to donate NOW!

"Below are a few nuggets from Sean, Newt, Doug's op ed in the NY Post, the oh so nasty Frank Rich today in the NYT, a piece on the big money the Dems are spending (including BO attending a recent NYC fund raiser to aid their cause.)

"THANKS TO ALL!"

“I’ve got to tell you, this vote is why I don’t want to be a republican,” fumed Sean, “I want no part of the Olympia Snow’s or Specter’s who just aren’t standing on conservative principles.” Sean Hannity

There's a chance that Scozzafava's remaining supporters were independents or liberal Republicans who didn't necessarily want a Democrat in Congress or who couldn't bring themselves to support someone as conservative as Hoffman. They may break heavily for Owens. Hopefully we'll get another poll or two before the voting starts on Tuesday. Realpolitics 10.31.09

He said Mr. Hoffman's "rise is a result of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Fox News, the Club for Growth, Gov. [Sarah] Palin and [Minnesota Gov. Tim] Pawlenty and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey and virtually the entire national conservative movement joining with Mike Long, whose Conservative Party, a very established organization, which won its first big race 39 years ago. This was not an isolated amateur; this is an entire movement." Mr. Gingrich said. 11.1.09

• BANTERING ON FACEBOOK WITH A MODERATE REPUBLICAN

2009-11-01T00:52:00.000-07:00

'ROBERT' IS THE PROBLEM
Acceptance of liberals and moderates has
tarnished the GOP
No more liberal RINOs
'Republicans In Name Only' have got to go

The thread began with a simple post -- and no link to a story attached -- by 'Simon':

"Scozzafava drops out of the race. What say you, Newt?"

A big story this weekend to be sure. I love reading the comments (most of them smart and very astute). Then, scrolling down through the well over 30 comments, I came upon a few of Robert's posts within the thread on Facebook (There were of course other posts by other participants who prompted more comments by Robert):

"So, let's say Hoffman loses. What will each of YOU on this thread have to say?"

"I think the GOP has to become more inclusive because we generally don't have enough self-identified Republicans to win elections and we have to get past the litmus tests activists like to give."

"I want to WIN elections!"

"Therer [sic] aren't enough conservatives to win most elections on there own. Sorry, but the latest Gallop poll shows 40% identify themselves as conservatives. You HAVE to get independents and middle of the road to ally to win." [By the way Robert: That 40% is the single LARGEST self-identified political group in the country by far - and the opposing left is a scant 5%. Secondly, the way you get independents and moderates to vote for GOP candidates is by delivering STRONG CONSERVATIVES].

"and don't forget that here in Texas, our numbers are so big that the rest of the nation is probably a lot smaller in number..especially in large metro areas that determine elections nationally."

"I think we need to support the REPUBLICAN that can win. You can't compare upstate NY to Virginia. It's very liberal up there and the Republican we are replacing would be considered a RINO in many people's eyes. The only vote that matters is for Speaker of the House. Scazzo committed a Boehner vote. You won't get that from the Dem."

We have to vote for conservatives
so conservatives can beat down their
agenda in the House and the Senate

Obviously, this political 'philosophy' that Robert is talking about is the one that got us where we are now. We have been playing it Robert's way for a couple of decades now. Hell, here in CA we've been playing patticake with the liberals by propping up liberal RINOs (Arnold, anyone?) and what have we achieved? Nada.

So it pissed me off enough to forgo my usual pleasant and professional demeanor on Facebook and let Robert have it. If you agree with me, you're going to love this. If you don't agree with me, too freakin' bad:

@Robert: Seriously, have you been paying attention to what is going on in our country? I get so damned sick of being told that "we need to be accepting of liberal republicans, and we need to vote for republicans no matter what their political leanings. Right, middle, moderate or left; it doesn't matter. Just vote Republican."

Robert, that philosophy of yours is HOW WE GOT HERE. This bone-headed philosophy got us Arlen Specter and John McCain, and for that matter, your political philosophy got us Barack Obama in the White House for God's sake!

ENOUGH! No more voting for Republicans who do not espouse conservative principles, both political and social.

NO MORE PRO ABORTION REPUBLICANS.
NO MORE PRO HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE REPUBLICANS.
NO MORE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS, PERIOD.

I'll even go one step further: You, Robert, are part of the problem. You either can't see the truth, or you're denying the truth on purpose. Our opposition is steadfast in their far left pursuit of this country.

Have you ever known of a football team that could do battle with an aggressive and successful team's strong offense by using a weak, ineffective and nansy-pansy 'prevent defense?' No, of course not.

We cannot fight liberals in Congress with moderates and liberals. That makes no freakin' sense whatsoever. That's like sending in gang bangers to bust up gang warfare in Los Angeles. Ridiculous.

No sir Robert, the ONLY way to do battle with liberals is to be staunchly right wing and conservative. We have to vote for conservatives so conservatives can beat down their agenda in the House and the Senate.

Let me remind you of one more important piece of information: It was YOUR PHILOSOPHY that lead to the House approval of Cap & Trade early this year. Remember that, Robert? 8 Republicans voted for that bill in the House. EIGHT REPUBLICANS THAT YOUR PHILOSOPHY PUTS IN OFFICE. Without those 8 votes, Cap & Tax would not have passed.

So in conclusion I say take your moderate, accepting and tolerant political philosophy and shove it up your ass. I realize this post has been mighty aggressive, but seriously - with only 12 months to go until the 2010 midterms, we don't have time to fiddle around with you and your ilk, or try to convince you how wrong you are.

JUST GET OUT OF OUR WAY. We have a lot work to do.
No offense,

ADDENDUM: 'Robert' responds:

Jimmy, you aren't good at math are you! With only 23% self-identified Republicans in our country, narrowing the net is a sure-way to DEFEAT every time.

The Democrats outsmarted Republicans by opening THEIR tent and accepting LESS THAN PERFECT LIBERALS in the Blue Dog coalition to defeat Republicans. Do you think Barbara Streisand was thrilled at the prospect of all those other-than-true-Liberal Democrats???

Don't blame McCain for the loss against Obama. The Dems put up a charismatic candidate while the TRUE Conservatives were debating whether Mormanism was compatible with their political views.

Perhaps if Conservatives (Huckabee, Thompson, Ron Paul, etc.) had done what Dede did, and dropped out when it was clear that McCain would walk in, we wouldn't have had this outcome. So, perhaps it's the fault of those so stuck in their thinking they can not be strategic. Let's put blame where blame belongs...shall we?

I actually think Romney, a better candidate, would have had his head put on a silver platter with a worse outcome than McCain. It was Obama's time. GET OVER IT. McCain was leading in the polls, at times.

If anyone, I blame President Bush who created a crisis when supposedly the world was going to end without $787B of TARP.

Look at what the Dem's did..they EXPANDED their tent with Blue Dogs, Pelosi got elected and she is getting her way. We need to emulate this in parts of the country that only a liberal Republican can get elected. Sorry, the math is simple.

And, it's time to get the Social Conservatives to realize that THEY repel many independent voters who would like to vote Republican. Keep your high morale values to yourself and keep limited government, LIMITED and out of people's personal lives.

Jimmy Z continues:

@Robert: I only post truth:

McCain is the reason Obama is in office. When we run people like McCain for president, we lose. McCain is nothing but a foil to conservatism. His wishy washy brand of GOP-ism is not only unproductive, but the political version of "prevent defense."

Ron Paul is not a conservative -- he's a libertarian. No comparison. Fred Thompson could have won, but didn't have the energy he needed to campaign hard and he did back out. Mike Huckabee should have pressed harder for sure, because he could have beaten McCain and certainly could have beaten Obama, because Huck's message for this country is certainly more Constitutional.

Romney, a pro homosexual, pro government health care RINO is NOT the guy. Romney is the problem, just like all the other GOP'ers who compromise core conservative principles in an effort to "attract liberals". McCain only gained ground in the polls when he appeared to be taking a stand and moved to the right. When he wimped out again and moved back to the left, he lost ground in the polls. I remember these moments clearly.

We do not need to attract liberals - we need to attract independents. Liberals will always vote democrat. Democrat-lite will never attract liberals voters.

'Republicans In Name Only' gave this election to Obama - they held the door open for him. Bush made it worse with the first stimulus plan, true, but McCain sealed the deal when he decided to cease his campaign and go to Washington and work on the bill. What did Obama do? Laugh and keep going. McCain is a left leaning tool and cut his own throat.

Those 'blue dogs' got elected by running like Obama did - more conservatively than they are. If you think 'blue dog' democrats really are less liberal, you're fooling yourself. They espoused what they did to get votes in conservative areas. They hesitate to vote for ObamaCare, not because they don't want to vote for it, but because they know they'll be sent out to pasture in the next election if they vote for it.

Pelosi got elected because she's in one of the most insanely liberal districts in the insanely liberal northern half of California. She has nothing to do with a lack of moderate republicans.

I assume from your last paragraph you are pro abortion and pro homosexual marriage. If this is true, and you despise conservative social views, I suggest you go where you belong and become a democrat. Republicans -- CONSERVATIVE Republicans -- stand for moral principles and moral justice, Godly principles, as much as politically conservative values. Without God, and our faith in God, this nation is done for. A revival is needed as much as turning back to the political right. Without both, we cannot accomplish what is needed to save the United States.

From Robert again:

Jimmy, you sure like to make excuses. Look at the numbers. Most Americans don't want a theocracy and don't want "holier than thou" people in office. They DO want lower taxes and smaller government. So, perhaps if the religious righters would either step back or go somewhere else, we could reestablish a winning party.

Jz responds:

@Robert: I'm just saying what IS. There's no shot at winning this country back to a Constitutional basis without staunch conservatives. This has nothing to do with a theocracy. It has to do with the nation's origins and spiritual base. Anything less and we will -- without any doubt -- continue to slide into godless fascism. Look around you. Only dedicated, Godly conservatives can help us now.

Without the religious Christian conservative right, this experiment known as the United States of America is doomed.

I was right in my first post. You are the problem. You and everyone like you.

• THE EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT INTRUSION

2009-10-30T18:29:00.001-07:00

CHURCHES SHOULD CONSIDER FORGOING TAX EXEMPTION
Freedom of speech more important now than ever
Pastors and ministers need to speak out on the issues
SPECIAL OPINION

So I go to church last weekend, and though I usually go on Saturday evenings, I went on Sunday morning. The fellow who usually teaches on Saturday nights is off for a couple of weeks so I decided to try Sunday mornings again. I'm glad I went.

The pastor was giving a sermon about the time when God 'gives up'; that being, when God gives a person (or a government) over to their sinful ways. God forbid anyone get to the point where they are comfortable in their sin. Once a person does not feel guilt anymore, and can sin at will and repeatedly, there is real trouble. At that point, often God has given the person over to their depravity.

As the pastor talked, he zeroed in on some troubles in Biblical times where God 'gave up'. God did so, for instance, in the time of Noah when the great flood came. The pastor talked about the fact that one particular sin seems to be the tipping point: The acceptance of homosexuality.

Government, both state and
federal, is becoming more and
more aggressive toward churches
that take any stand politically.

Not just homosexuality existing in the world, but homosexuality being accepted by society as good and decent. Homosexual marriage. Once homosexuality is equal to God's institution of marriage, God seems to 'give up'.

So the pastor took a few minutes and outlined all of the pro-homosexual bills we've approved here in California, most recently of course the bill making a special day of May 22 - Harvey Milk Day. Milk is the famous sodomite who was shot dead by a crazed former city councilman back in the 70s. Now, Milk will be praised every May 22 in California, especially in the public schools where the bill requires some observance be made on this special day.

The pastor criticized the limp-wristed and tiresome Arnold Schwarzenegger for signing the bill. He also reminded us that a number of these bills that affect the public schools in favor of homosexual indoctrination do so without allowing parents to opt their children out. All very sick, very fascistic stuff.

I was looking forward to snagging some of these bits in the online recording from the church website in order to play them on my show. When the sermon was posted on Tuesday, I found that the portions where the pastor talked of this 'political' issues had been cut from the tape on the website.

I certainly understand why. Government, both state and federal, is becoming more and more aggressive toward churches that take any stand politically. Ministries have been sued by persons in the attempt to get the church's tax exempt status removed by the IRS.

I think it's about time that some churches do this on their own, and begin speaking freely and without reservation.

Now is the time for churches and pastors and congregations to stand up and speak out - not feel the need to hold back! The country - and the world for that matter - needs the truth like never before. What better time in our country's history for a pastor or minister to teach a Bible principle and illustrate it with our social and political problems we face right now?

Without having to worry about a lawsuit or a review by the IRS of a church's standing as a tax exempt entity, the pastors and ministers will be free to speak on any issue, any time, with as much detail as they wish. They can name names, party affiliation and agendas. The pastors and ministers will have the muzzles removed, and we congregants need that kind of outspoken leadership now more than ever.

Certainly churches would need to have their boards review this decision, and even call a meeting with their congregations to discuss it. No one would be able to write off their donations after a church moves to change their tax exempt status. But personally, I have had it with the world the way it is going, and I'd welcome a pastor who could speak out on whatever issue or politician he wanted to.

What a breath of fresh air.

If you agree with this in principle, why not take the idea to your local church. Perhaps it's time for a movement. Perhaps it's time to be free, indeed.

Addendum: I was conversing with friends on Facebook, and wrote an elaboration that would be relevant here:

I have given much to many ministries through many years. It is a good thing, I believe, to be able to give and write off a donation - good stewardship. It is also good, I think, for churches to have been able to operate as charities because most of the work churches do is charitable.

But these are different times. Years ago, churches were not characterized as the enemy by many in government and many people (atheists, homosexuals and other such vermin).

Now, many in the country are militant anti-God. It's time for churches to change their way of thinking, because these are dangerous times and congregants need to hear the straight truth about everything that's going on. Pastors and ministers cannot depend on their flock to hear the Bible message and intuitively apply it to current events. --Jz
