Vast Write Wing - November 2008

Lynn,

I'm always skeptical and leery of people like David Horowitz. He's no minimal government conservative. He's a neo-con poster boy. He tries to manipulate hicks, especially Southern ones like myself, to fight for HIS agenda.
Lt. Col. Patterson said we can't talk to the Taliban. We did talk to the Sunni insurgents fighting us in Iraq and that's turned out pretty well---so far. Now we're talking to the Iranians. Like Churchill said, "occupying Iraq is like sitting on a volcano."

Lynn,
In the mid 70's we had our first oil crisis and the Japanese cars flooded
the market with reliable, affordable, fuel efficient automobiles.
The American auto industry and their unions have had 35 or more years to
read the writing on the walls. They have failed to do so. So it would
seem that experiencing a drastic situation such as make it on your own
and make the sacrifices needed to compete seem to be the only language
they WILL or MAY understand. It is not any worse than what the Tax
payers are being ask to do. NO DIFFERENT at all.

Mr. Woolley,
as in liscencing a car, you must meet the regulatory stipulations ( driving between the ditches etc.) If you don't like the rules, find another medium. Or can't right wing nuts read.
You are free to print whatever. The airways belong to us all. You types(Hannity, Limbaugh) have spewed enough fear and division onesidedly.
It's only logical that our government require equal time on it,s airwaves. So stop whining already. Or you can relocate in any nation that likes onesided media. North Korea perhaps.

Hi again, Lynn

I sent you an email on Veteran's Day asking if you would blog about Survivor Corps' program for U.S. veterans and service members, Operation Survivor. I never heard back and wasn't sure you had actually received it. Our troops still need our help. I put together this e-news release which explains everything. Please feel free to repost any or all of it:

http://survivorcorps.org/returningtroops

If you could share this with your readers on Be Logical, or even post one of our donation banners, it would greatly help our American soldiers and returning troops. Please let me know if you are able to help and send me the link to your post. Let me know either way. Thanks so much.

All my best,

Dani

SOL (and Aguirres),
In today's WSJ is an oped column for the ages by Judy Shelton. The title is
"Stable Money Is The Key to Recovery." Talk Show hosts (and all others who
are concerned and interested about things of the 'dismal science') should
make a hard copy of this one for future and frequent referenc(ing). Those
of us in that 5% of the world's population who understand why Roxie & Glenn
paid $3,600 for that new Chevrolet Impala in 1971, but today would pay
something like $29,000 for an equivalent vehicle (such as a Mercury Grand
Marquis) are increasingly in a position to say to the reciprocal 95
percentile, "Didn't you get Adam Smith's memo?"

Archive this one. As the G-20 Summiteers re-arrange the Titanic's financial
deck chairs this column will increasingly make sense.

Of course, it was stolen.
Funded, in part by George Soros funded untraceable prepaid credit cards,
and illegal foreign contributions "too vast to investigate" (according to the Federal Election Commission who IS going to investigate McCain contributions).

Lynn-

I have a question that perhaps you will want to explore on your show Monday.

As Congress was debating the buyout question, one of the ways they "sold" this to US citizens was with the story that, once the US government purchased the assets of the bad mortgage loans, they could hold those until the situation improved and the status of the now at-risk loans improved. At that point in time, the loans could be resold at a much higher price, resulting in the fact that the $700 Billion expenditure would be a much lower actual liability for the US taxpayer; in fact, it might actually become a profit source.

Now, of course, the focus has changed. The government is not going to purchase those bad loans; instead they will be giving money to banks with no oversight as to what they are doing with the bucks, credit companies like Amex, insurance companies like AIG and the Big Three auto makers. Heck, as you suggest, maybe even DISD will get some relief.

Now, NOTHING in the current list looks to me to be able to provide the payback the bad home loans were purported to be able to provide. Now, it looks totally like the $700,000,000,000 bailout (I think sometimes you just need to write out the number longhand so we can see just how many zeros we are talking about here) will be nothing but a drain on the budget that is funded by taxpayer dollars.

I think that is a serious question that needs to be asked of Mr. Paulson now that he has decided to spend our tax dollars differently than he told us he would.

What do you think?

Lynn,

It's a funny thing there's evidently alot more White Guilt north of the Mason-Dixon than south--and I doubt it's hardly over; it's just beginning.

I read your article,"Beware the Democrats who want to 'clean up ' talk radio in the name of fairness" in the Dallas Morning News", (11-13-08) with a feeling of dread that talk radio might be taken away from us. I listen to Rush, Sean Hannity, Mark Davis and Mark Levin every day. I depend on these men to air the truth and give the public a fair and balanced report of the current events. I was very alarmed when our Dallas Morning News was one of the media that got booted off of Obama's plane during the campaign.

I fear for our country with Obama's election. We know nothing about this man except the glib rhetoric that he has successfully poured down the throats of half the people of this great nation. These same people made no effort to find out what he stands for.

You said in your article that "the only thing that might stop it is the American people". How do we stop it?

Keep up the good work with your excellent articles.

Re: "Beware the Democrats who want to 'clean up' talk radio in the name of fairness, says Lynn Woolley," Thursday Viewpoints.
Everyone who drives down the highway trying to find some kind of radio programming besides Rush "the bloviator" Limbaugh knows that Lynn Woolley is shamelessly disingenuous. Far-right conservatives dominate AM talk radio. Progressives mean to implement the Supreme Court mandate of 1969: the First Amendment gives citizens the right to full and free exchange of ideas, including opposing views on the public airwaves.
The Fairness Doctrine and limitations on media conglomerates are both essential to restoration of a real "fair and balanced" broadcasting system. Currently, there is almost no competition or diversity of views on talk radio.

Hi Lynn, I saw you in Best Buy Saturday night, so I guess you have already changed your browsing habit. After being in Circuit City prior to going to Best Buy, I can see why. I too, hate to see CC go away.
I would have told you "hello", but I'm sure you get tired of people coming up to you all the time.
As, for politics, I'm very scared about the election of Obama. I can't believe that the people of the United States have elected someone that is so radical and wants to change everything that we love and believe in. I pray that he doesn't cause too much damage to our country and that your show doesn't go away.

Re: LOGIC MINUTE on the DISD faking SS #'s for bilingual teachers:

These problems come up every two years or so with school districts. Then, they get solved. It’s good to see that you are one who always jumps on the bandwagon of critics --- instead of running for statewide office to be on the state education board where you could solve the problems permanently.

It reminds me of a time when I was in Washington and a group of protesters were camped on the Capitol grounds. They sent an emissary to the Speaker. The Speaker said, “Well, come on. Let’s go out to the tents and talk.” The emissary said, “Not now! -- Maybe later when we have the media there to cover it!”

You see, the protesters’ goal seemed to be to get media attention, NOT solve the problem.

I have no doubt that you would do a great job at being on an education board. AND, it would be fun to watch you bang your chalkboard eraser on the table or podium at each and every meeting while other board members and the audience in the room and on TV and radio could shake their heads and say, “What is it with this “one note Johnny – I need attention” guy?

Lynn-
Why does it take Obama to pick up the idea of running like a conservative the last couple of weeks of the campaign. He could govern like a conservative but I don’t think the Senate or the House will let him. I think we need to start a new party with conservative ideas. It could include the conservative Republicans and hopefully the Democrat conservatives would join us. It might take us years to become a national power but it would be more important to follow our conservative ideology than electing a president. Wouldn’t that be opposite to what we have done the last 25 years but it would be the correct (Right) path. If we build the party they will come.
