Here is a video of the press conference Obama held last week. For Obama’s discussion of Obamacare and the Supreme Court as well as the sycophantic attitude of the reporter (which garners chuckles from fellow reporters)

"Mommy, do you love America?"
During this election season, when I yet again have to grapple with the question: Do I vote for the possibly slightly lesser of two evils or do I take a stand and make a statement with my vote that might not swing the election but might move the dial? I learned something today that robbed me of my last delusion that there actually is a lesser of the two evils (listen to Saturday’s show to hear what I learned) and coupled with that realization I recalled a question my daughter asked me not too long ago which helped me to remember to take courage. Here’s my answer to her important question, in case you haven’t seen it before.
When my seven-year-old daughter asked me this question last night, I was gutted. Do I, the daughter of a Harley-riding, ultra-conservative, flag-fying war veteran, love America? I, the liver of the American Dream? Granddaughter of orphan and immigrants, waitress and community college student-turned-Harvard and Stanford grad, do I love America? I have always been a patriot! I welled up with tears when I first heard that

Book Review: Drug Crazy by Mike Gray
Drug Crazy, by Mike Gray, is a page turner on the origins and impact of the Drug War in America. I have long been against the Drug War as a matter of principle: there is no justification for the group to force an individual to do or not to do a particular thing if the … Read more
How Much Would You Pay to Become a Sheep? Guest Post by Jason Riddle
According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Total outstanding student loan debt surpassed $1 trillion late last year. Many folks blame rising tuition costs as the chief driving factor of massive student loan debt. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the inflation adjusted annual cost of undergraduate tuition, room, and board in 1980 was … Read more
Trayvon Martin, Gun Control & the Drug War: On & About This Week's Show
This week on the show I discussed the disingenuousness of Mayor Bloomberg as he says in the video below that because of loose gun laws he is concerned for the safety of his family, while he is widely quoted as having said in November that “I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world….I have my own State Department.” But what galls me is that he and others are using the Trayvon Martin killing to set the stage for a new push to further curtail our Second Amendment rights. Although I’m not a gunslinger myself (yet), I do believe that the Second Amendment is what stands between us and complete tyranny. Below the video are a couple of links I think may be of interest in defense of gun rights.
Social Engineering, Brainwashing and Dumbing Us Down: On & About This Week's Show
This week I talked about the real purpose and effect of schooling our children. I talked about the idea that crony capitalists and the government made a conscious choice over a hundred years ago to try to tame the American citizenry to be good corporate citizens. There is much evidence to support this and I had at least three informed callers who offered their knowledge confirming this. The best source for both understanding the origins and purpose of the current system as well as insight into what real education is
The Ultimate History Lesson with John Taylor Gatto
If you’ve never heard of John Taylor Gatto you are really missing something. John Taylor Gatto was New York City Teacher of the Year three times when he worked in Harlem. He quit his job, while still holding the title of Teacher of the Year, in an oped article in the Wall Street Journal saying that he no longer wished to hurt children. Gatto is one of those very rare people (like Ron Paul) who have the intelligence, character, drive and interest to pursue the truth for its own sake, to actually succeed in uncovering some of it and to share it with those of us ready to recognize it.
Normal People Who Love Liberty
Are you a Ron Paul supporter or simply a libertarian who is tired of being labeled “crazy” by the mainstream media–radio and TV alike? I want to give you equal time. Please leave me a voicemail that I can play on the air. Say your first name, what classifies you as normal (you have a … Read more
Wesley Clark, Leon Panetta & Meir Dagan: On & About This Week's Show
On the show this week, I talked about why Iran is in the crosshairs. I played some interesting clips of General Wesley Clark laying it all out during the Bush years (of course he sings a different tune now that his side is in the White House–that’s interesting too!)
Here are the clips of Wesley Clark. The first one is him telling about Bush & Co. plotting to reshape the world, while the second clip has him spinning a different yarn for his teammate Obama.
