Lynn,
I was interested to hear why the 20 some thing year old from Midland called this morning. I also live in Midland and like you I wondered why he wasn't listening to Beyonce instead of to your show. Did you keep him on the line when you went to break and find out what he called about? I wonder what some of our young people are interested in.

I believe that Obama thinks he is a Ruler or a King and not the President. Being President of the United States is only peanuts to him. I believe he plans to rule the world through the United Nations. I also believe that George Soros is the defacto president and Obama is just the tool he is using to bankrupt America and get this ONE WORLD ORDER that for some reason all these left wingers want. Call me a 79 year old kook if you wish to. I hope I am because when all this happens I will not be here to protect my children and grandchildren. God help us all. Bonnie, Midland, Texas

I'm so glad to see what Mr. Steel had to do.... (EAT CROW)

Now do you think you can do something about That Bonehead David Letterman and Katie Couric on last nights Letterman Show?

How do people like them get to make such irresponsible statements and get away with it, is there not some level of truth that should be required?

I happened to go home for lunch yesterday I I'm guessing Rachel Ray is also a Liberal but I wish I know who the BIMBO she had on
her show yesterday?

I'm thinking about just not watching TV anymore

Holy Crap!

You are in great form today; perhaps you and Rush could run on the same ticket!

Lynn,

I was listening to your show a couple of weeks ago when you defined and compared the "-ism's". Can you provide me the definitions you stated on the radio show.

Thanks,

Sure.

Here's the column I wrote.

The New Ism of Barack Obama
By Lynn Woolley
February 14, 2009

It’s called the first major victory of the Obama administration: a $787 billion economic “stimulus” package that combines tax cuts with massive social spending. This is a new approach, unprecedented in American history, replacing our free market system. That system is known as “capitalism” by the way. Since we are tossing it aside, what exactly are we getting in its place?

President Obama is often called a “socialist” by right-wing commentators. Is he? Socialism advocates public or state ownership of production and distribution channels, combined with equal opportunity for all. The key word to socialists is “fairness.” To achieve a “fair” and “equal” society, they would redistribute wealth and power, and they would do it through Central Planning as the old Soviet Union did.

At his core, Mr. Obama is a socialist. He told Joe the Plumber, “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” He constantly talks about “economic justice” and fairness.

So what about “Marxism,” the philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels? There’s no question that Marxists are also socialists in that they believe capitalism is deeply flawed. The key word for Marxists is “change.” They believe in class struggle and making sure that the “oppressed” are fully aware of the pitiful conditions under which they are forced to live, breeding contempt for capitalism and leading to revolution.

Mr. Obama fully embraces the class struggle elements of Marxism, spending much of his early life as a “community organizer” in Chicago. In that role, he would isolate an injustice that could be exploited, gin up resentment, and demand a government solution. Obama’s mantra of “change” comes from this movement.

Marxism invariably leads to communism, which promotes a society with no classes at all. Under a communist umbrella, the problems of capitalism would be solved through doing away with private ownership. The key word for communists is “centralization.” Lenin envisioned a society in which government plans all economic activity. The top leaders of the Communist Party make the decisions and cannot be questioned. Communists allow no other parties, no political rivals and once a decision is made, all party members must accept it.

Are there parallels with Obama? His stimulus package is Central Planning on steroids, a vast expansion of government. His slogan, “the fierce urgency of now,” was driven home by his predictions of catastrophe if Congress didn’t pass the stimulus immediately, regardless of what it contained.

Then there is fascism, generally considered to be a far right movement as opposed to the leftist philosophies we’ve discussed. Fascism, such as the world saw under Mussolini and Hitler, is similar to communism. The key word is “nationalism.” It is collectivist in nature, but it allows private ownership of industry, without unions, but under government control. Fascists believe in extreme patriotism, racism, and military action. Fascists often come to power after an economic collapse when a leader with great powers of persuasion ascends to the head of government and promises a return to national glory. All criticism of the government is suppressed.

Obama is not a classic fascist. He supports unions, he’s not militaristic, and he has eschewed racism. But his rise to power in an economic meltdown is worrisome. He is a collectivist and he is presiding over the partial government takeover of private industry. He does not take criticism well and may seek to impose the Fairness Doctrine to silence conservative talk radio.

The bottom line is that none of these “isms” define Obama – yet all of them do to a point. Note, too, that these philosophies generally result in a total loss of freedom for the people, and produce dictatorships. Only capitalism is a free and open system that promotes life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The other isms lead only to misery.

Lynn Woolley is a talk show host heard mornings 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. on KVCE AM 1160 in Dallas-Fort Worth and 8 p.m. -11 p.m. on KSEV AM 700 in Houston as well as other stations around Texas. His email address is lynn@belogical.com.

I was very pleased to hear the man this morning when he suggested to you my idea of not paying taxes en masse as a form of protest that would actually make a difference.

I was however displeased to hear you say that some people (me) regarded these modern tea parties as terrorism. That was not what I said at all. I was referring to the original Boston Tea Party and comparing it to a modern act of "terrorism" as it was obviously considered an act of war in 1773.

As you should know by now from your callers especially out here in West Texas that people are ready to take a real stand, not throwing tea bags in the duck pond, but by breaking laws or legally subverting them.

My point was that the real Boston Tea Party was an illegal act that sent a strong statement and started a revolution.

These little protests accomplish nothing except proving that the main stream media didnt give them a single second of coverage, as I predicted.

SOL,
Regarding your e-mail reply regarding my mini-crusade against prohibition of
drugs.......

First, an acknowledgement: There was a column in today's WSJ by Bret
Stephens, In Praise of Mexico's War On Drugs. It was well written and it
did a pretty good job of presenting the case for continued illegalization.
Like you, I'm still unconvinced. I believe that government would have to
suspend or repeal 'probable cause' in order to make prohibition work and,
again, this is one of those areas that is a subset under 'free country.'
The underlying philosophy being 'In a free country we must legislate against
misuse because legislating against the thing won't work.' Period.

That government that is on Mexico's northern border simply refuses curtail
the demand for drugs!

Dear Lynn
I wish you'd look into the funding of the Bioscience District. Recently I heard a very informative presentation. I'm sure the city and the nation would benefit greatly from such an activity. There is no doubt the voters voted for such an activity. However, I wonder about the financing of such a worthwhile venture. The District is asking for taxing authority. As much as I favor the operation, I will vote NO to taxing authority. I think the city should find someway to finance it without asking more from the taxpayers. Sure the city can say its not asking for a tax increase, it is the district. Still the taxpayer will be asked if they want their taxes increased. This jurisdiction should live within the tax revenue from Temple residents. A good example of living within ones means is my case on a fixed income. Recently I wanted a cell phone. I had to give up my land line long distance carrier in order to stay within my budget. Similarly I think the city should make some hard decisions about all its services and decide if funding for a Bioscience district should replace some other activity. I could support taxing authority for the district provided the city would reduce its taxes by the amount of taxes such district would impose. Otherwise I will vote NO and encourage other taxpayers who would not like their total tax burden increase to also vote NO if the proposition is placed on the ballot. Please look into the matter and give your listening audience your assessment. Sure this is a matter for the Temple voters but the research to be carried out will have a nation-wide impact.

Amos,

The city of Temple with its "cluster" of biotech has a unique opportunity to secure the future of the area. I don't know how best to fund it, but citizens will be able to vote on the tax increase. If they vote it down, I hope the city will be able to find another way to make it happen.

Can you tell us how we can get a copy of the March 2 show? I live in TX but work out of JFK in NY so I hear alot of talk radio from everywhere. I never thought the best show I'd ever hear would be one at home but the March 02, 2009 Lynn Woolley show contained the best 30 min. of any political commentary I've ever heard. I'm refering to the hour (about a half hour actually) that contained the Alan Keyes & Rush Limbaugh speeches. I have to get that for my husband to hear & the ultra liberals I work with at JFK. I'm more than willing to pay for it. I just want one before I fly out again. Thanks very much, Kim Tyer Thanks so much for your help & God Bless.

Lynn,
I have been listening to your show for about a month, I sure wish I would have been listening a lot earlier, you truly have some great insight and comments. You have moved me start being more vocal.
I wanted to comment on this drive to socialism that Obama and the liberal democrats have placed our country on. It amazes me that so many people just don't see what is happening. That if those waiting with open hands for their share of the stimulus, would put as much effort into finding work or bettering themselves then they would realize that capitalism trumps socialism any day.

Lynn, may God continue to do good work in your life and business and that you keep on waking those of us who have sat on the side line for too long.

Thank you,

Lynn, I really liked the back and forth discussion with Cedric today (did he call from Cincinnati? LOL). I know you are trying to be kinder and gentler but I think you let him off easy.

He mentioned several times that the Republican Party NEEDS to appeal to the Reagan democrats and people of color. What does that mean? If he is saying that the RP needs to increase in size irrespective of principle, then I would adamantly disagree. I think that is what the party has been doing for the last 12 years and why the elites in the party do not want to do anything about the illegal alien issue. The old adage, “if you don’t stand for something; you will fall for anything” is what is happening to the party now, IMO. I don’t even want to entertain the implication that people of color and some dummocrats in general have to be pandered to with the promise that they will get something tangible in return for their shaky alliance to a gang (RP) rather than allegiance to an idea or principle such as life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, capitalism, markets, etc.

Some of the most conservative people in the Republican Party are former Democrats such as Reagan, Gingrich, and ME! I voted for Jimmy Carter (forgive me Lord and God bless the pigmies in Africa – Amen). I was a blue dog Democrat that became a Reagan Democrat – NOT to be included in a club but because of principle. Reagan was right and Carter was left (wrong); it’s as simple as that.

On a somewhat related topic that I had with a guy today:
Nobody seemed to care when cigarette companies were being attacked by the left and plundered of their excess profits starting about two decades ago. I don’t smoke, never have, and think it is a terrible habit but I was against the abuse of power of the state bent on punishing a LEGAL sector of our economy for the purpose of steeling the eggs of a golden goose. Now the government is hell bent on taking control of all sectors of our economy and people are upset because it is destroying their retirement funds and equities when the precedence was established a long time ago; and yet, they were silent because it didn’t affect them at the time. It wasn’t a camel that stuck its nose under the tent decades ago but a giant donkey the size of a brontosaurus.

Lynn, I sent this to Glen Beck. I feel he needs to know about what he is ignorant about. I hope I did not cross a line doing this but I always stick up for the little guy. No offense intended of course. GODS SPEED

MR. Beck
I want to thank you for your service to America.
I have noticed you have started to incorporate the concept
of Logic to your show and believe me, it is a great concept.
I wanted to let you know the Secretary of Logic is alive and
well and a fine American by the name of Lynn Woolley out of
Texas. He has a conservative talk radio show broad-casted
throughout the state of Texas and has for nearly 15 years.
You can go to belogical.com to browse his web site. I am
writing you today because the concept of being logical has
been coined and is the premise of this gentleman's show.
I hope I am not being too abrasive when I say this but you
are stepping on his toes, using his stick if you will and if
you are ignorant about this so be it. I just wanted to take
the time to thank you and bring you abreast to your new
concept that has been in existence for more than a decade.
GODS SPEED
