Talk radio 101

I went to my monthly writer's group Monday night. On the way home, I tuned in to a "Progressive" talk radio show...they only seem to be on late at night. This was around 10:30pm. The guy, Ed something-or-other, I think, billed himself as the top progressive on radio.

Of course, I punched a button to change channels right away, but then I decided to give him a listen. After all, I have friends who bear up to view msnbc, cnn etc. I applaud them for their efforts...this includes Rush, Glenn and Neal, of course.

Anyway, I listened on my drive home. No wonder they can't keep an audience. It was the most boring twenty minutes I've spent in a long time. One caller claimed to have been a lifelong Republican converted by the McCain campaign to HObama, (that's not too hard to believe) and another caller, sounded like another lib writer/journalist, talked about his disappointment with HO's talk to the dem senators re healthscare. Seems he was disappointed he (HO) hadn't been on the phone reading the riot act to democrat senators to get them on board with the current healthScare plan. The host alluded to the fact that he thought HO had been making the calls.

Trouble is, the dems haven't decided to fall on the old sword, yet. Maybe he should be calling the 'publicans. They sure aren't trying to protect us from the runaway freight train known as the HO administration...wonder if I should call that the HO min trail?...hmm.

In my never to be humble opinion, the Republicans are just as culpable as the dems for this healthScare debacle, if it, or anything remotely similar passes. We need to shed ourselves of every current house member, including the executive branch, and start over. Don't see how it could possibly be worse.

But then, I tend to be rather optimistic. But I just thought of something else. GLOBAL WARMING! Copenhagen! I need to go get a video aired at the summit for anyone reading this, who hasn't seen it. This was on youttube, and I found it on Heritage Foundation's site. Take a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell&v=NVGGgncVq-4

Can you believe the arrogance of these sobs.? They actually propose to believe we (mankind) can actually affect this planet. When I drive to my home in North Carolina, I am always reminded of the earth's recuperative powers. I see all the abandoned tobacco barns where nature is reclaiming the land. How many of you have ever seen a tree grow around a wire fence? There's an abandoned military training airport not far from Savannah. It hasn't been used since just after WWII. Nature has just about reclaimed all three of the runways.

How many time have you heard about some bug or animal being introduced to some new location with disastrous results? Every time man thinks he can do better, he learns the hard way, that God did it right in the beginning. Come to think of it, if he had meant for us to have politicians, he'd have given them to us!

Let's clean house. And for your grandchildren's sake, tell your politicians to stay out of your doctor's office.

Back to lib-talkers. They probably do better than I would, but I'm not out there trying;~))
