“I don’t think the Republicans are going to take the Senate next year. They’ll keep the House, but they’re not going to get the Senate and I’ll tell you why – because they simply cannot resist the urge, the impulse to get into this social conservatism.” – Neal Boortz Filling in for Sean Hannity earlier this week, Neal Boortz suggested that Republicans will be unable to take the House in 2014, and that the reason will be social conservatives and cultural issues. (via Breitbart.tv) This whole thing about Phil Robertson and what have you – it speaks a lot to...

Neil Boortz will announce on his program this morning that he will be retiring in January. He will pass his seat over to longtime friend Herman Cain who thinks “they” think you’re stupid. WSB appears to have accidentally released the announcment on their website, where a cached version of the announcement says it is set to post at 10:07 am this morning. Of Boortz’s news, it says:Today national radio talk show host Neal Boortz announced live on his program that he’s retiring from his daily show and passing the torch to his friend and colleague, Herman Cain. His last day...

Herman Cain has been caught lying in last night's GOP debate. Cain, who was the former deputy chairman and then chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve throughout the 1990's, had been opposed to an audit of the Fed. He had also said that Ron Paul supporters frequently ask him "annoying questions" about a Fed audit, even accusing the Paul campaign of sending agents to harass him at every event he attends. According to the Daily Caller: The Daily Caller obtained an advance copy of Cain’s book, “This is Herman Cain,” which goes on sale Oct. 4. In the manuscript,...

Atlanta—Keith Olbermann has declared that Neil Boortz is apparently conducting his own personal healthcare Jihad against government run healthcare. The war of words have continued for the past two days with Olbermann firing the firing his recent shot last night, saying, “What would you do, sir, if terrorists were killing 45,000 people every year in this country,” Olbermann asked Boortz. “Well, the current health care system, the insurance companies, and those who support them are doing just that.”

Bonneville talk WWWT/Washington, which had been heard in the market on both 107.7 FM and 1500 AM, will soon be no more. The 107.7 signal reverts to airing sister WTOP's all-news format, while the 1500 AM signal will simulcast sister WFED (Federal News Radio), giving the niche-formatted station currently heard on 820 AM a full market signal. WWWT morning show "The Inner Loop with Burd, Doyle and Jones" exited after Monday’s (Aug. 11) show and the WTOP and WFED simulcasts will start tomorrow in the 6 a.m. - 9 a.m. slot. Also not returning to the Bonneville properties will be...

On Tuesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fretted about an Oval Office meeting of President Bush and several conservative talk radio hosts -- verbally tagged by Olbermann as "right-wing radio yackers" and labelled on-screen as the "Legion of Doom" -- as the Countdown host contended that Bush was devoting "90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars" to the meeting. And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz. During the show's opening...

President Bush discussed his policies with conservative radio hosts last month at the White House, including, from left, Mike Gallagher, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 — On an overcast Friday morning last month, White House aides ushered an influential group of conservative radio hosts into the Oval Office for a private audience with the president. For an hour and a half, Mr. Bush discussed his case for the war in Iraq, his immigration proposals and even the personality of his Scottish terrier Barney, who scratched on the door during the session until the...

Dacula High School, Gwinnett County, Georgia You heard about this last week on the show, and you saw Larry Nease on CNN this morning. "Doc" Nease is a science teacher at Dacula High School.

Couldn't attend. Did anyone go to this event, and can you provide an after-action report? It coincided with trick-or-treat here in Springboro.

A lot of people are wondering why we should apologize for what happend to those Iraqi prisoners while the Arab world doesn't apologize for what happend on 9/11. Listen today ... I'll tell you. OK .. NOW I'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION So, why should we apologize for the actions of our troops in Iraq in light of the fact that we still haven't heard any apologies from the Arab world for the events of 9/11, or for the treatment of those four civilian contractors murdered and desecrated in Fallujah? That's easy. We're not them. We hold the moral high ground...

MARCHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS By now I'm sure you've heard of democraticunderground.com ... a website where your Democrat neighbors can go to trade ideas and thoughts about this year's election. One of our alert listeners lifted a few postings on this website that I thought you might enjoy. Here, my friends, are your loving, compassionate Democratic neighbors at work. Why don't we all sit back and let them chose our next president ... waddaya say? Here's the first post: As we've heard again and again recently, if we are going to beat this bunch of rule breaking GOP misanthropes, we're...

MAYBE A NICE CRUISE IN THE GREEK ISLANDS WOULD BE FUN .... Well ... it looks like I might want to make some alternative plans for next Memorial Day. Right now I'm scheduled to stay in Atlanta to deliver a speech to the Libertarian National Convention. We now have a "Libertarians for a Boortz-Free National Convention" petition online. The petition reads: To: Libertarian National Committee and 2004 Convention Coordinator We, members and supporters of the Libertarian Party, object to the scheduled appearance of talk radio host Neal Boortz as a speaker at the Libertarian Party's 2004 National Convention. We further...

Last week was a particularly good one for the Bush presidency. Just leave it to me to say other than the tax cuts and the war on terror, there is no real compelling reason to re-elect George Bush. We just might be better off with the stalemate that comes from a president from one party, and a Congress under the control of the other. It might at least slow down the growth of government. Granted, right now fighting the war on terror is clearly the most important job this president has, but it's not the only job he has. The...

"Politicians never accuse you of 'greed' for wanting other people's money --- only for wanting to keep your own money." (Joseph Sobran) These quotes -- gathered from various sources around the net and from newspapers, should open a few eyes on what lies at the core of the liberal thought process. If you have any submissions you would like to add to the page, send them on ! "America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to "the common good," but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own...

FUN WITH THE DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND Many Boortz listeners are now frequent visitors to the Internet's premiere comment board for Democrats. It's called DemocraticUnderground.com. Over the weekend my ever-alert listeners brought two different conversation threads to my attention. The first thread began with a suggestion by one Democrat that the Congress be equally divided between men and women. Why? Because "Congress is Unjust" That's why. This person didn't bother to explain why it would be "just" to deny to a voter the right to vote for a candidate of their choice. Here's your link to that thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/duforum/DCForumID60/22942.html The second thread...
