Americans are going to have to stop being polite to this man who is openly at war with our country. Stop coddling. Do not call him President or Obama. Call him what he is and what he wants to be ....Barrack or the Muslim Barrack.

Lynn,

I agree with you on the children living with gays. However, I don't want the word marriage associated with their union. I don't care what rights they get, but give their union another term.

Re: LOGIC MINUTE on GM:

Oh, how silly! Now you are an expert on the economy and consumers. “Blame it on Obama!”

You guys will never dig your way out of the septic tank at this rate. Where’s your idea on how to deal with GM?

This is just about the funniest and best reply to eco-freaks that I've
read! It's George Will, so it's ponderous, but once you get into it,
it's great. The nutroots will hate it, but it's right on target.

As usual, the sissy Will emerges. And the ridicule of those of the green
persuasion continues.

Ever interview folks who can show you how "greening" can not only save money
but also improve the health of kids and grown ups?

Nah, probably not. You and the "mighty rightie" folks just want to depend on
slurs and sling insults and ridicule.

Try looking for facts, not depending on the writing of other columnists who
write to one another.

I listened to the whole speech myself...

Dissected much like you have... YOU ARE RIGHT ON!

I'm beginning to think he sounds a whole like like Nixon did right before he destroyed US combat efforts
after the devastating maneuvers it took to regain control of South and North Vietnam after the sneak attacks
of the Tet Offensive.

I was born in 1963 so what I have learned about the errors we made in SE Asia during the Vietnam War I have learned by studding history on my own.

What have we always told our children about the need to study and internalize history to keep from repeating our mistakes in the future.

I don't like the way this is moving... I'm more and more disheartened by the way this country is moving and now the US citizenry is moving toward ambivalence.

Ho Chi Minh once said: "They will kill many, while we will kill only a few...but the United States will grow wherry of the war long before we do"

I'm convinced President Obama is totally ignorant of US History!

God help us!

Also I'm guessing you have now read Rick Warren's Book The Purpose Driven Life? What did you think of it?

I'll see you on the trail again soon,

Mr Wooley,

There is a 1 Jun 09, White House Press release that I didn't hear anyone
in the news cover--President Obama's declaration of June as LGBT Pride
Month--White House press release,
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_off ... mation-LGB
T-Pride-Month/. If you did cover it, my apologies for not catching it
on your show.

Since III Corps and Ft Hood, the Army in general, the City of Temple,
and all the other gov't agencies try to recognize achievements and
contributions of various communities during things like women's history
month, black history month, etc., I was wondering what all of the above
are going to do to recognize the achievements and contributions of the
LGBT community during LGBT Pride Month--the spread of AIDS, destruction
of family and marriage are a few contributions I can think of.

Lynn, I heard part of your first hour on the way to work this morning
and your reasoning and intuition was right on message with regards to
the Obama's speech and with the "Palestinians" (only in the sense that
they call themselves Palestinians, which in and of itself is rather odd
since the term is a crusader designation not to be confused with the
Philistines). The Israeli Muslim leaders do not want peace and never
have. If they want to live in Israel, they need to respect Israeli
law... period. On a side note, America is going to have this same
problem once Muslims breed in significant numbers to wield influence
just as European democracies are experiencing now.

I think sometimes we tend to get caught up in the immediate drama and
forget that situations like this don't happen in a vacuum. A good
reflection of history goes a long way towards understanding a decent
probability of will happen. Jordan and Israel were cut out of the
British mandate after WWI and the ottoman collapse. The intent was to
give the Jewish people the lands west of the Jordan river and the
"Palestinians" the lands east of the river. Jordan has always been
recognized as the designated land for the "Palestinians" and that is the
reason King Abdullah of Jordan formalized Jordanian citizenship for all
"Palestinians." If they truly wanted peace as a people, then they had
two good options: 1. Accept and respect Israeli citizenship and laws; or
2. Move to the east bank of the Jordan river where they could live with
their hate.

As a principle, Islam never relinquishes a claim regardless of how
illegitimately it was acquired. India is experiencing this retribution
as it wants to reclaim ancient Hindu temple sites that were turned into
mosque during the ottoman reign. Soon after the 1948 accord designating
Israel as a state, Jordan quickly moved into occupy the west bank with
the intent to keep Jerusalem and the "Dome of the Rock" under Islam-ian
influence. The international community never condoned or gave
legitimacy to the Jordan occupation of the west bank formally known as
Judea or Samaria. As pro-"Palestinian" as King Abdullah was to the
Judean arabs, he was assassinated in Jerusalem by a "Palestinian"
terrorist fearing the King would formalize an agreement with Israel -
they didn't want peace.

King Abdullah's grandson, Hussein, became king at the early age of 17
after his father, King Talal, was mysteriously declared schizophrenic.
Even though barely surviving the assassination of his grandfather being
with him on the trip, Hussein continued King Abdullah's
pro-"Palestinian" ideas; even to the point of offering shared rule of
Jordan as Prime Minister to yasir Arafat and the "Palestinian" arabs in
the 1970. Since Arafat has always been nothing more than a terrorist
with mobster style tactics, he, therefore, he tried to take control of
Amman with his militia and, thus, control of Jordan. King Hussein had
to bring his army in from the desert and borders to retake the capital
and inflicted huge casualties on the PLO.

Again, in 1996, with the election of the leftist Labor party, Ehud
Barak, to prime Minister of Israel, Barak was willing to give away
everything for peace and then some to the Palestinians including a
recognized separate state... but we all know the end to that story,
don't we? Arafat rejected the offer without even a counter-offer
because he never wanted peace or shared control (or he would have taken
the offer as Prime Minister of Jordan in the '70s).

Somehow American neo-libs (combination of statist, fascist, and
classical libs) think that they are somehow so smart that the only
reason it hasn't worked before is because they weren't the ones
directing the situation so of course the logical conclusion is: history
is not important because we (neo-libs) didn't have anything to do with
it. Why is it that the ones who claim to be the smartest (Carter,
Clinton x 2, Obama, etc) continue to do the dumbest things? (rhetorical
of course)

Keep up the good work,

"Obama's Propaganda Machine Coming to Your Town: Nationalized Healthcare"
by Donna Garner
6.4.09

Okay, America, this is it! We are on the cusp of losing our private healthcare system unless every single American rises up and exerts pressure against Obama's plan.

Starting tomorrow, Obama is beginning his massive healthcare roll-out across America using Organizing for America as his vehicle to infiltrate cities and towns across America.

Organizing for America's purpose will be to propagandize Obama's nationalization of healthcare, thus destroying the private healthcare system in our country.

Organizing for America is tied to the other ACORN-type leftwing community organizer groups to whom we American taxpayers now give more than $6 Billion because of the legislation passed since Obama came into office.

I called 254-366-3256 (phone number listed in the Waco Tribune-Herald) and asked about the healthcare meetings that begin tomorrow in this area. The answer: People will share their healthcare stories, and these will be sent to Washington, D. C.

You can bet that these stories will be used to script a national hysteria for government-run healthcare in our country. The worst-of-the worst horror stories will be spun and then publicized by our local media, and they will arouse so much public sentiment that people will react emotionally and put aside their logical reasoning skills.

However, here is what we must understand and then communicate to other people about nationalized healthcare:

How many of us want to give up the freedom to choose our own doctors, medical procedures, and hospitals?

How many of us who sacrifice to pay for our own healthcare plans are willing to let the government make all healthcare decisions based upon a set priority list?

How many of us want Big Government to decide who should get an MRI and who deserves to die because they are a drain on the economy?

How many of us want the 16-year-old unmarried pregnant girl to get her government-paid abortion a year before the little old lady with the broken hip gets her hip replacement?

Remember that in Obama's nationalized healthcare plan, the little old lady will be expendable; and it will cost less to let her die.

All we Americans need to do is to look at the nationalized healthcare in Canada and Great Britain to get a preview of things to come:

L. A. Times, 4.7.09, "One of the ways the British and Canadians save money is to punt elective surgeries to a lower priority level. A 2001 survey by the policy journal 'Health Affairs' found that 38% of Britons and 27% of Canadians reported waiting four months or more for elective surgery. Among Americans, that number was only 5%."

Dick Morris: "Forty-four percent of the drugs approved by the Canadian health authorities for use in their country are not allowed by the healthcare system due to their high cost. As a result, death rates from cancer are 16 percent higher in Canada than in the United States...In Canada, colonoscopies are so rationed that the colon cancer rate is 25 percent higher than in the U.S."

Surely logical-thinking people will realize that even though Obama says with his mouth that people can keep their own private healthcare plans, he knows the very opposite will occur if his plan passes.

Once the government offers cheaper plans for everyone, people in the private plans will bail out, leaving the few holding the bag to pay astronomically high prices. Soon those private healthcare plans will become unsupportable and will cease to exist. Once people are all "captured" by the nationalized plan, the government will dictate all healthcare decisions based upon a set priority list.

Our country's healthcare problems could be resolved right now by putting patients and doctors in charge of health care decisions and by having the tax code reflect fairness in the way it treats the purchase of healthcare.
Of the 46 million Americans who are supposedly uninsured, we need to remember that 14 million of them are eligible for various existing government programs but have chosen not to sign up for them.

As Kerby Anderson of Point of View said, "...Another 17 million of them are earning over $50,000 a year but do not buy insurance because they feel it is too expensive...Since 64 percent of Americans get their insurance through their employer and insurance is not portable, many of the people who are counted as uninsured are merely between jobs. They are counted as uninsured even if that is a short period of time...This leaves about 8 million uninsured that need some assistance. Medical personnel and policy experts have positive suggestions about what to do to help these 8 million."

Not to sound judgmental or harsh, I feel that I must share from our own personal experiences. When our family went through many years with a single teacher's income, we sacrificed to purchase healthcare insurance for our children. Part of that time we had one very used car that ran sometimes and one older car that literally had a hole in the floor of the driver's side. My husband could check the road conditions by looking through that hole!

Our children were constantly ill during those years (hepatitis, allergies, high temperatures, pneumonia, etc.), and I stayed home with the children because we had no one with whom to leave our sick children.

Even though it was a day-to-day sacrifice, we chose to pay for our employee healthcare policy rather than to go uninsured and go to the emergency room for services.

When I had caesarians with both boys, our employee healthcare policy unfortunately did not cover that procedure. We had to come up with the funds to pay our bills. We did it, but it was not easy.

Through the years, we have always chosen to prioritize our limited income and chose to be personally responsible for our healthcare even though during some of those really lean years we undoubtedly could have qualified for government assistance.

We chose between driving a fancy car and paying our medical bills. It always bothered me when we would go to the emergency room and see people getting free medical care who drove much better cars than we did, and their children always had money for snacks and toys while we limited such things for our own children out of necessity.

If Americans chose to prioritize their spending, I believe that most could afford healthcare insurance. However, that might mean sacrificing the extra car, boat, fancy house, new pick-up truck, brand-new furniture, pedicure, fashionable clothes, and the latest techie toys.

Let's try to attend some of these Obama propaganda meetings. We may have a chance to share common-sense wisdom at least with the other participants even if our own comments never make it up to Washington, D. C.

Lynn,

At my appointment with my dermatologist this past Monday, I commented on the shortage of dermatologists. The doctor told me that only 300 dermatologists per year are graduated nationwide and the biggest problem is that of a dearth of teachers.

Dermatologists can make much more money than teachers, especially in this day of cosmetic procedures; therefore, most graduates go into private practice, but, in his opinion, the ones who teach are doing it for the right reason.

Thought you might be interested, since you spoke today about the length of time it takes to get an appointment with a dermatologist.

Wild idea
Bin Ladin no longer needs to hide.
Since we are a Muslum nation then we need to help Bin, By forgetting & forgiving about all the terristic deeds he has done to this nation. And we must find forgiveness in our hearts. And then we can ask forgiveness to him for what we put him through.
Because of our so called Presidentay, Oboma's speech in Ciro, left the door open to him.

[lwoolley]

Lynn, I heard part of your fist hour again talking about president Obama's speech. I think it was delivered beautifully but the content was horrible. Here are some comments on excerpts of his speech.

Keep up the good work

Kerley
Killeen

“For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning; and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement.”

A beacon of learning? What advancements have come out of Islam? The only thing I can think of is the advancement of barbarism from rape, pillage and plunder to high tech explosives – good job.

“time of GREAT TENSION BETWEEN the UNITED STATES and MUSLIMS around the world — tension ROOTED IN HISTORICAL FORCES that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.”

This whole paragraph does not make sense. What historical forces cause great tensions between United States and Muslims? Putting aside the fact that Islam destroyed some of the greatest cultures in history, in what context did the United States participate in colonialism of Muslim countries? What case is the president talking about U.S. using Muslim countries as proxies during the cold war? Is he talking about when Jimmy Carter DIDN’T back the Shaw of Iran, when he should have, that brought these fanatics to power? If that is the case, then that is a sin of omission rather than injecting our influence through a proxy. Also, if that is the example of an American proxy, then we really suck at the proxy business.

To lump the US with the “west” with treatment of Muslim countries is just flat out wrong. Is he speaking for the US or for the whole west? If I was a European country, I would be deeply offended by his condemnation and arrogance to speak on their behalf; good job – irritate our allies while appeasing those that want to kill us.

“Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and Western countries, but also to human rights. All this has bred more fear and more mistrust.”

What tensions is he talking about that precipitated unprovoked attacks on the US for more than a decade? There is no moral equivalency with the supposed proxy actions of the US and the direct acts of war directed against Americans in the name of Islam. To use only Sep 11th as a point of reference is just wrong again: direct attacks have gone on for a decade and over two decades if you include Lebanon and the American embassy hostages.

“So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, those who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can HELP ALL OF OUR PEOPLE ACHIEVE JUSTICE AND PROSPERITY. And this CYCLE OF SUSPICION and discord must end. “

Again, the moral equivalency by which he compares the American culture to the Muslim is puzzling. What does he mean when he says that “cooperation that can help ALL of our people achieve justice?” What does that mean? Who is he talking to and about what?

“I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles — principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

American culture based of freedom and Islam based on subjugation are not exclusive? Are you kidding me? Does the president believe in the American culture or Islamic culture? In every case where Muslims have taken over a country or grown to significant numbers to wield influence in a country, esp a democracy, they sowed the seeds of discord, competition and violence. And again, where is the moral equivalency between the U.S. and Islam with regards to the “principles of justice…progress; tolerance and dignity?” If this wasn’t so serious, it could be a comedy sketch.

“As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam — at places like Al-Azhar — that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities — (applause) — it was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”

If he is a student of history, then he didn’t learn very much history or his history is different from mine. If one is to be honest, there is NO WAY, Islam can be said to have “Paved the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment” – NO WAY! If anything, the onslaught of Islam conquering southern Europe, including Spain, wasted resources for its defense that could have gone towards further “enlightenment.” Everyone continues to give Islam credit for our Arabic number system, which is also bogus. Our number system actually comes from the Indian Hindu culture – NOT Islam. The magnetic compass? Well… that as a Chinese invention. The majestic architecture be talks about came from conquered southern Europe and Russia and spread to the middle east; Islam didn’t invent that either - they just take credit for it. All these things happened in the so called Islamic golden years where the Ottoman empire conquered and destroyed great cultures such as the Greek and Byzantine empires. The great philosophies, reasoning, and technologies of these cultures was so strong that it lasted for centuries after they were conquered. The real effect of Islam is to look at these cultures today and see what an extended period of Islam has done for them. In my opinion, it has been more like a disease than “paving the way for enlightenment.” Another test: Tell me… what great doctors have come from Islam? Name me one great scientist, just one, to come from Islam in a 1000 years. Where is there an example of Islamic humanitarian aid to those that are not Muslim? Where is this enlightenment?

“I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.”

What dignity and peace is he talking about? Chicago has already sowed the seeds of terrorism in the US. Several Islamic extremist have been tied to south Chicago. Also, the extremist rhetoric and acts of the Nation of Islam, including extremist leaders such as Elijah Muhammad, Malcom X, and Louis Farrakhan.

“America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores — and that includes nearly 7 million American Muslims in our country today who, by the way, enjoy incomes and educational levels that are higher than the American average.”

7 million Muslims in America?! I don’t think so, at best maybe 3 million.

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion.”

This sentence is a non- sequiture: your either free or not free; freedom can not be divided by itself.

“Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al-Qaida and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice; we went because of necessity.”

Again, another nonsensical statement: of course we had a choice. Jimmy Carter had a CHOICE and chose not to act and we are still reaping the repercussions of that bad CHOICE.

“And that's why we're partnering with a coalition of 46 countries. And despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not weaken.”

Was this taken from one of George Bush’s speeches? Why hasn’t the media jumped all over it like they did president Bush?

“The Holy Quran teaches that whoever kills an innocent is as — it is as if he has killed all mankind.”

Sounds good but…Wow… this was taken out of context. I pulled out my Kuran and turned to verse 005-032: “On that account: We ordained for the children of Israel that if anyone slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – It would be as if he slew the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people…”

Interestingly, he left off the next verse that is used by terrorist to justify religiously killing innocent people worldwide that puts his quote in context: 005-033,034. “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief thorough the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, from opposite sides, or exile from the land…Except for those who repent before they fall into your power; In that case, know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Shorthand: you either submit to our way and receive mercy or we can justify doing whatever we want to you. And while taking the first verse out of context, the president states further, “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism — it is an important part of promoting peace.” This is the religion of peace that he quotes from…wow, just wow.

“Let me also address the issue of Iraq... I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible."

President Obama is way out of line with this statement. UN resolution after UN resolution was directed to Iraq since they invaded Kuwait. The final UN resolution that authorized the use of force consensus came after years of trying diplomatically to bring Sadaam into compliance. All this failed and either we need to dissolve the UN and kick it out of New York (not a bad idea on second thought) or follow through with the mandates. We can agree or disagree on the wisdom of invading Iraq but this is extremely irresponsible to imply that the US acted as a rogue nation with regards to Iraq – simply wrong.

“And finally, just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter or forget our principles. Nine-eleven was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals. We are taking concrete actions to change course. I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year.”

FORGET OUR principles, traditions, and ideals?!? What is he talking about? Again, he is cementing in the mind and justifying the actions of those that want to harm by telling them that we torture people as a matter of practice. This is not only wrong but obscene for any leader of our country to say such a thing. Furthermore, what does this so called torture have to do with forgetting our principles, traditions and ideals?

To be honest with you, Lynn… this whole speech is crap and I got tired of even reading it much less commenting on it. It’s Anti-American rhetoric only to win favor of people who want to destroy our culture. Am I the only one who gets the feeling that these speeches are auditions and he that he is paving a way for some type of “speaker for the world” position. These speeches are so inaccurate and illogical that its kind of surreal watching them.
