The Savage Nation ^

[Tamar1973]

What else is there to do on Thursdays besides FReep and listen to TSN?! C'mon, eat, drink, breathe SAVAGE?

[dynachrome]

From the golfer today:
Verrrrry interesting.

"They want to write a myth. They want to promulgate a legend and a myth about Obama. You would think now, if there are a number of them like Walter Shapiro, they'd say, "Gee, did I really blow this!" do you think they'll have the intelligence to ask themselves they might be making the same mistake with Obama? Not that he's having an affair. I don't mean that. But I guarantee you this guy is not who they think and hope he is, in terms of qualifications.",/b>

[dr.zaeus]

Good night, you guys.

I'll talk to you soon.

[dynachrome]

Take it easy, Doc!

gnight

[MrCFdovnh]

He mentioned it just before the first break of the first hour.
You'll have to catch the full context during the first hour replay on KNEW.

[MrCFdovnh]

He said that his comments may not make it on the air. So be sure to visit his website.
They'll definitely be posted there.

[dynachrome]

Cyanide story. Very weird.

1 lb. I see it this way:

“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! thud.

[Das Outsider]

Savage is on fire today!

He's done an exceptional show thus far, but I think he's made the same mistake that the neocons and liberals--who said liberalism didn't make for strange bedfellows?--have: equating Russian nationalism with the former Soviet Union. I would ask the Doc to take his own advice in trying to see things from the Russians' point of view, viz., their history.

Seventy years of Communist rule was a drop in the bucket compared to the Romanovs and their predecessors. Could it be that Medvedev, Putin, and Co. are cobbling together something more like a modern-day (and modified) Tsarist Russia?

[dynachrome]

Russian nationalism without the marxist trappings will be more dangerous.

[MrCFdovnh]

That about sums it up. Somehow I don’t think he was the only one involved in whatever terrorist activities were being planned.

[Das Outsider]

Russian nationalism without the marxist trappings will be more dangerous.

How so?

[dynachrome]

Don’t have to put up with the commissars looking over your shoulder.

Performance of the Nazi style army v. Stalinist style.

More flexibility, IMHO. (doesn’t explain the Italians, though!)

[camerakid400]

I studied Russia and Putin in one of my college courses. I would definitely agree with you on Putin; he is a Tsar. But how do you disagree with Savage? He isn’t supporting Putin. He just doesn’t want the US involved.

[homeguard]

Why is Savage calling the illegal mexicans “immigrants”? These people are not immigrants and have no intention of becoming U.S. citizens.

[dynachrome]

“immigrants”?

A slip, I would say, since he was ranting on anchor babies earlier!

[homeguard]

I agree.

[dynachrome]

“political will”

We don’t have it for another war. The resources aren’t there without the draft and a WWII type commitment. At least as far as a large land war in Europe is concerned.

[Das Outsider]

Don’t have to put up with the commissars looking over your shoulder. Performance of the Nazi style army v. Stalinist style.

Then what is it about Russian nationalism in particular that is so problematic?

You're one of the few who has given me a thoughtful response on the issue, so I do value your input. I don't have--shall we say?--a dog in the hunt, but I think things are so skewed that we will find ourselves in a much worse situation with regard to Russo-American relations than the days following the end of the Cold War.

[dynachrome]

Encore 3rd hour. Probably wore himself out!

[Tamar1973]

Everyone has a slip of the tongue once in a while. No one is more anti-illegal than Dr. Savage.
