Free Republic

The Democrats have begun their campaign to frighten voters before the fall elections. It's nothing but a replay of past elections, the only difference being that they seem to be starting the scare tactics a bit early this year. (snip) The ploy is simple. Convince wrinkled citizens that the evil Republicans want to take away their Social Security. It's an old trick, tried and true. The Democrats roll this one out every single election. This time the point men are Richard Gephardt and Terry McAuliffe. They're both telling voters that the evil Republicans have a "secret" plan to reduce Social...

Fox, NASCAR blasted for S-bomb during race Family advocates rev into attack mode as car called 'piece of s---' in broadcast Family advocates are revving up against Fox Television and NASCAR after a driver's crew chief uttered the S-word during a nationally broadcast race Sunday. The obscene word was aired during a car-to-crew conversation between driver Martin Truex, Jr. and his crew chief, Kevin Manion, at the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. A frustrated Manion told his driver, "We missed the set-up today. It (the car) was a piece of s---." Fox announcer Mike Joy...

WHEN I'M WRONG, I'M WRONG It looks like I missed on two predictions yesterday. First, Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't grant clemency to the murderous Tookie Williams. He was put to a much-deserved death last night.. It only took the State of California 24 years to carry out a sentence entered in 1981. Williams should have been shot-gunned to death, the same way his victims did. Second, there was no rioting in Los Angeles. Everyone's flat-screen TV and Ibox seems to be safe, for now. Someone correctly opined yesterday that it was too cold in Los Angeles for riots right now. The...

It is my considered opinion, backed by 37 years of radio yammering, that 98.4% of the people in this country who use the word “fascist” have no idea what the word actually means. Ditto for “Nazi.” Being in a helpful mood I embark here on an educational effort so that some of us might actually recognize fascism when it truly does rear it’s ugly head, as it did this week from the mouth of Senator Charles Grassley (R- IA), the chairman of Senate Finance Committee. Grassley has apparently decided that free enterprise no longer works for America. (The truth here...

Neal Boortz was in Grand Junction, Colorado on Saturday, October 8th to sign copies of his book, "The FairTax Book" and talk to Western Slope residents about the initiative. The following pics will be posted on the WesternSlopeOnline.com website tomorrow afternoon. You guys get the preview;)

CRACKING DOWN ... TOO LATE Yesterday afternoon and last evening I did what I have been doing most of the week ... I sat in front of the television watching the devastation and the dual nature of man unfold in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf coast. I'm not there .. so I can't say with any certainty just what is or is not transpiring in the New Orleans war zone. I think that most of you will agree that the appearance is that the response has not been swift enough nor strong enough. It seems that were getting much...

Now ... about the reason for this tour Just in case you haven't picked up on this yet, I'm completely and passionately dedicated to the idea of the FairTax. I've been studying the idea of replacing the income tax with a consumption tax for over 25 years, and the FairTax is as close as I've seen, and as close as I believe we can get to a fair and effective plan. I understand, and I'm sure you understand, that the FairTax is not the perfect answer. It is merely the best answer. Our current corporate and personal income tax structure...

Like the Boortz book? Intrigued with the FairTax HR25? Try the Fair Tax Personal Calculator at www.pafairtax.org/calc.php It will calculate what you will pay in FairTax if your spending choices remain about the same, using all the "tax free" spending deductions that FairTax allows under HR 25. Put in a few figures describing your current spending/savings habits. Only dollar figures are asked for and your family size for the rebate calculation. No private info, no info on where you work etc, it's totally anonymous. Then take this figure and compare it to your current income tax paid in 2004 PLUS...

Neal Boortz will be on Hannity & Colmes, Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. EDT, (8:00 p.m. CDT) on Fox News Channel. He and Representative John Linder co-authored The FairTax Book, released today, 2 AUG. Neal is making the rounds. It's been on the Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Bestseller lists for four weeks---before it got released. Huge momentum here...to contrast, Steve Forbes' Flat Tax book barely broke the 550 mark on Amazon--it's a dead reform policy. Mr. Boortz's interview will answer a lot of your questions on The FairTax. Please take the time to watch it. We can make income tax replacement...

What a weekend! What a holiday! Millions of Americans celebrating the very freedom they fear, and that nice man Bob Geldof telling us evil Americans what we should be doing with the money we work so hard for! Why, we should be sending it to Africa, that's what. Lets give thanks that Live 8 is over. What a bunch of sanctimonious, self-righteous, narcissistic jerk-offs. They top off their great multi-venue circle jerk Sunday with a demand that the United States cough up some more money for something they refer to as "aid and justice for Africa." These rock stars have...

We talked about this one on the show yesterday, but it didn't make the Nuze.  So here we go .. the story of the Anita White Carson Middle School in Greensboro, Greene County, Georgia.  Our cast of characters is as follows: Matthew Lund, first year teacher Ulrica Corbett, Principal.Zach Richardson, Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps. So .. here's the story, gleaned from the front page of the May 26th edition of Greensboro Herald-Journal.Matthew Lund and Zach Richardson were college roommates.  After college Richard joined the Marines and Lund started teaching.  Richardson went to Iraq, Lund to Carson Middle School, there to...

The Media Research Center Annual Gala and Media DisHonors Awards Cal Thomas, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Neal Boortz, Zell Miller, Midge Decter, T. Boone Pickens and Janet Parshall highlighted the presentations and acceptances of MRC's "2005 Dishonors Awards: Roasting the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of 2004," which were presented on Thursday night, April 21, before an audience of more than 950 -- our largest crowd ever -- packed into the Grand Ballroom of the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C. Following the presentation of the Dishonors Awards videos in five categories, a look at the Best of the Worst of...

Rewarding Outlaws One of the emerging battles in President Bush's second term is going to be what to do about illegal immigration. For those of you a bit desensitized by the practice, allow me to bring you back up to speed. Illegal immigration happens when illegal aliens illegally break the laws of the United States and illegally sneak into this country. Make sense? I thought so. Anyway, George Bush wants to institute a sort of blanket amnesty for illegals. Rather than enforce the law, which would mean rounding up the illegal aliens and shipping them back to Mexico, the president...

HOW DO WE ELECT DANGEROUS IDIOTS LIKE THIS? The brain-dead, idiotic, disgusting, anti-American, childish, can't-get-over-it politician of the day is one Nelson Polite, a member of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania city council. Thankfully this jerk will rise no further up the political ladder. Even Democrats think he's a fool. Polite is upset because of David Stoltzfus who runs a baked goods stand at the local city market. Stoltzfus has a picture of President Bush hanging in the stand. Polite is a Democrat. Polite made a trip to visit Stoltzfus to tell him that he and other Lancaster Democrats are "offended" by...

actually stayed up to watch the so-called "debate." It's now before 5:00 am and I am drawing some notes together. No problem ... I can always take a nap this afternoon and, after all, it's not like my job requires any heavy lifting. Now ... some disjointed thoughts on the debate. It looked like Bush was a bit slow getting started. The hesitations in his language stand out in contrast to the determined rhetoric of John Kerry. It's probably wiser to listen to the actual words being said rather than the hesitations. There's enough "ahs" and "uhs" during one of...

Last night's prime-time speech by Democratic Georgia Senator Zell Miller was a masterpiece, the best speech of the convention so far. It's interesting to note that such a good speech at the Republican National Convention was given by a Democrat. Miller offered a scathing indictment of the modern Democratic party over their appeasement in the war on terror. Declaring right off the bat that his family were his "most precious possessions," Zell said "my family is more important than my party." He talked about leaders of the past who supported the president, no matter what the political affiliation. " Where...

THE MOVEON.ORG TELEVISION AD The Kerry crowd is running an ad that says that George Bush used his father to get into the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. Just so you know, there is no record anywhere of any interference by or influence brought to bear by Bush the Elder in Bush the Younger's acceptance into the guard. Not that you leftists care. Point two. That ad from Moveon.org, an anti-Bush group financed by a mysterious Hungarian-born international financier, also features an image of someone stamping George Bush's National Guard records with "failure to appear." There is...

It looks like John Kerry has been caught in another lie. The Drudge Report is stating that ABC's Good Morning America will spill the beans today on whether or not John Kerry ever told the American people that it was his medals he threw away at a protest in 1971. If you go to Kerry's website you will see the following statement. Just in case the Kerry people remove it from the website ... here it is faithfully copied and pasted: Throwing Vietnam Medals UPDATED 4.23.04 RIGHTWING FICTION: John Kerry threw away his medals during a Vietnam war protest. FACT:...

Today's show will come to you from The Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. I'm here in this frightening place (DC, not The Heritage Foundation) to attend the annual Radio & Records Talk Radio convention. This year's convention buzz? Government ... the FCC ... censorship .... fines ..... fired disk jockeys. The mood in Washington is ugly. It's an election year. The full House and one-third of the Senate are up for reelection ... as is the president. These politicians want to get themselves on record for "protecting family values" and a making sure that your precious children never, ever get...

BUT ... AS LONG AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION There have only been 27 amendments to our Constitution.  The last basically said that the congress couldn't raise its own pay without an intervening election.  Now there was a Constitutional amendment that recognized the essential truth about today's breed of politicians.  Our founding fathers didn't put that in the original because they couldn't think in terms of elected officials staging raids on the taxpayers funds to the extent that they do today.The American people have shown that they don't want to trivialize our Constitution with an endless succession of...
