Trent Lott: 'Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem'
The New York Times ^ | June 15, 2007 | ROBERT PEAR and JEFF ZELENY

Posted on 06/15/2007 10:53:28 AM PDT by Hazwaste

Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

“Great perspective”

Thanks! Now, if we can get a concensus, we can stop this BS in it’s tracks.

Here’s a copy of the letter I sent to this RINO.

Senator Lott,

As an American citizen, I am greatly disappointed in your comments in which you said, “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.” You have to “deal with the problem???” Sounds like Soviet era rhetoric, in my opinion. In fact, it seems more and more to conservatives like myself, that it is senators like you, Sen. Lott, that are the problem. We can read the immigration reform bill. Talk radio hosts can and have read the bill. I’d likely bet that some of them know more of what is in the bill than you do, Sen. Lott. It seems like there are a majority of senators that are tone deaf to what Americans are saying, with you being right near the top of the list.

I would urge you to do an about-face on this amnesty bill, and vote against it. Try to convince all the other Republicans to likewise vote against it. To pass this sham of a bill is to bring about the decline, if not the outright destruction of the party of Ronald Reagan. If it passes, I can assure you that I, and many, many other Republicans, will not give another dime to the RNC or to any politician who supported ramming this devastating piece of legislation down our throats.

Do the right thing. Build the fence. ALL of the fence.

Folks need to treat this as horrendously and outrageously dangerous, alarming and a big clue to what the puppet masters have planned.


Indeed. They've fired a shot directly across the bow of We The People.

Tyranny is awaking from it's slumber.

Dam* straight Rush Limbaugh is good for America. And as I recall, dear Senator Lott, it was conservative talk radio who helped the conservative public understand that your racist comment not long ago should be taken in the context of a private cutesy remark trying to please a very elderly man on his birthday. You owe us.

END TIMES PING LIST PING

Please let me know if you want on or off this list

Please check out this thread I posted the following on at post #1,593:

PLEASE—ONE AND ALL—GET

THE GATHERING STORM: UNDERSTANDING PROPHECY IN CRITICAL TIMES

Mal Couch, General Editor various authors

The first chapter is: “GLOBALISM AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER”

Therein Kerby Anderson outlines well the sweep and goals of THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

He notes most chillingly how three institutions are under [Qx: WHOLESALE RUTHLESS] attack by the NWO (pp15-25):

1. THE FAMILY
2. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
3. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT—NATIONS—SOVEREIGN NATIONHOOD (p22)
Because each of these institutions are in the way, blocking the NWO.

He cites: Ashley Montagu (p22) “speaking to a group of educators declared that, ‘The American family structure produces mentally ill children.’6 From his perspective, the traditional family that teaches things as loyalty to God and to country is not producing children mentally fit for the global world of the twenty-first century.

(p23) “Not only do globalists oppose the traditional family, [Shrillery’s push for younger and younger compulsary kindgergarten should leap immediately to mind—Qx] but they also believe that the Christian church and a sense of national identity are contrary to their vision.”

“Globalists feel that the Christian church threatens their global program because of its belief in the authority of the Bible. Most other religious systems (as well as liberal Christianity) pose little threat. But Christians who believe in God, in sin, in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone, stand in the way of the globalist vision for a one-world government and a one world religion.”

“Paul Brandwein even went so far as to say that, ‘Any child who believes in God is mentally ill.’7 Belief in a personal God to which we owe allegiance and obedience cannot remain if globalists are to achieve their ultimate vision. (p23)

“National governments also threaten globalism. If the goal is to unite all peoples under one international banner [predicted in several places in the New Testament—Qx], any nationalism or patriotism blocks the progress of that vision. Globalist and architect Buckminister Fuller once said that, “Nationalism is the blood clot in the world’s circulatory system.’8 (p23)

“Dr Pierce of Harvard University speaking to educators in Denver, Colorado, said, ‘Every child in America who enters schools at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with allediance toward our elected officials, toward our founding fathers, toward our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government.’9 Their solution, therefore, is to purge these nationalistic beliefs from school children so they will come to embrace the goals of globalism.” (p24)

“All over the country programs on Global Education, Global History, and Global Citizenship are springing up. Children are being indoctrinated into a global way of thinking. Frequently these programs masquerade as drug awareness programs, civics programs or environmnetal programs. But their goal is just the same: to break down a child’s allediance to family, church and country, and to replace this allegiance with the globalists’ vision for a one-world government, a wone-world economic system, and a one-world religion. These then are the three institutions the globalists believe must be modified or destroyed if they are to achieve their globalist vision. . . .”

GOD HAVE MERCY ON US AND GIVE US WISDOM, COURAGE, DILIGENCE AND PROTECTION IN THE COMING MONTHS AND YEARS of THE GATHERING STORM.

Please get the book and read it. At least copy and paste the above and email it to all who might be moved by it.
CERTAINLY PRAY AND WORK FOR YOUR COUNTRY, FR, THE ROBINSONS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR GOD as never before.

If talk radio was actually running the country this horrific bill would be dead and buried

If talk radio were running the country, we would have a border fence more imposing than the Great Wall of China. Now that would be a great tourist attraction, with tourists walking along the top.

Trent “Chester” Lott is a little confused, as usual. Actually, it is the President, the Senate and a goodly number of House members who are busy doing everything they possibly can to make a complete mess of the United States.

BTTT

I guess it’s not just Hillary that believes our right to Freedom of Speech should be curtailed...

The Internet and Talk Radio are the “front porches” of the 21st century. If the politicians are that worried then that just proves there is something completely unwholesome about this whole mess. You don’t become this worried about talk unless there is something to it, IMHO.

Legislators who are doing their jobs — enforcing and protecting the Constitution — have nothing to fear from people talking. That Lott is this upset just proves to me that we are really on to something here... I am reminded of the phrase — you only get flak when you are over the target.

[Oh, and Mr. Lott — I DON’T listen to talk radio, so your assumption that this is all being spurred on by a few on-air personalities is not gonna fly.]

Actually, this globalist tyranny bunch have been

INDUSTRIOUSLY AND DILIGENTLY AT WORK FOR AT LEAST 50 YEARS.

Some say 400 years.

They have made enormous progress since I started studying them in my job in 1965.

Too late.

Lott’s puppet masters have scheduled the Jihadi’s to do that.

Is wimpy Trent Lott having a nervous beakdown or just a hissy fit?

= = =

Neither.

In an uncommon fit of honesty . . . he let slip the standard SOP attitude, goals and plans of his puppet masters the ruling globalist elite.

Or they have to deal with the “talk radio problem” and not the immigration problem?
