HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!This "Super Bowl" weekend I wanted to take just a few moments out to let you know about some things going on regarding Yahoo and some unsavory elements of the Obama cult.As I do, I want to give a hat tip to a website known as "The Patriotic Resistence" which is a part of Grassfire.org. This is another website for the reisistance to Obama and his political agenda.Now, first off for those who use Yahoo, if you go to http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy, halfway down there is a link which says WEB BEACONS.After you click on that page there is a paragraph...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!!This morning my op-ed focuses on one of Oklahoma's most well respected bloggers.Michael Bates is a well respected blogger who authors the blog Batesline (http://www.batesline.com) He also writes a column for an alternative media source, Urban Tulsa Weekly.When Michael composes a blog one of the things he always takes care to do is research his material for his blogs and get his facts straight.Recently, Mr. Bates was hit with a lawsuit by World Publishing Company, publishers of the Tulsa World. Apparently this had to do with a piece he composed on January 15 regarding the World's declining circulation.Now, here...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!What I'm about to discuss involves a general set of things that won't fit any particular news item. A lot's been going on with the Inagruation of Obama and the revealing of his administration's social and political agenda that quite frankly scares the living heck out of me as it should you too if you are an employer or employee who belives in the principles of California's Proposition 8.First off about the Inagruation; the speech by Obama wasn't too inspiring quite frankly it was all doom and gloom.The benediction by Reverland Lowry I think proves that the race baiting...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!!This observation is pretty much the sum total of everything that has been going on with the Blago scandal and the ramifications of this situation now going National with the launch of a brand new Presidency. This doesn't in anyway revolve around any particular story. I have actually written letters to the editor and posted blogs on this very problem. It's not unique to Illinois. Many other places have had this problem.But this one is of the upmost importance becuase the person we're about to institute into the Presidency unfortunately comes from this corrupt enterprise.Now, lately I've been reading...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!Today, I'm going to discuss with you a case of radio station management boneheadedness which took place earlier this week.The story takes us to Palm Springs California which has been known as a place where people travel to on vacation.It involved two well known radio talk hosts who had a local talk show which aired on a local radio station. The show dealt with local political and current issues.This sotry broke earlier this week. Here is World net Daily's coverage of the story. Here is how the local newspaper covered the story.Apparently what happened was a caller brought up...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!This is the corrected version of the op-ed which I posted earlier this morning.As I stated before in the earlier thread, I read a horrible story about a young 18 year old college freshman who was beaten up by four women at a college in Minnesota becuase she had on a McCain t-shirt. This happened at an election night get-toghether at a Minnesota liberal arts college. Thankfully she survived this savage attack.Here is the article from which I read the story. John Hawkins wrote about it.This incident should draw attention to the fact that there is a tremendous amount...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!Yesterday at this time I was composing this op-ed. At the time I finished and hit "post" FR went down. Thanks to Jim and John for getting FR back online this morning.As I was saying yesterday morning, it has now been several days since the election and already a number of people, many of whom have family to support are very concerned about what is going to happen to Barack Obama's America. I wish I had all the answers but obviously like everyone else I don't. I can tell you I've already seen some of the upcoming previews of...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!!!I want to take a few moments to share with you what is going through my mind as we head towards Election Day.By now, everyone has made their case for the person or persons they have voted for or plan to vote for on November 4th. I'm told there are still some "undecideds" out there. This is directed at those in this category who may by chance be reading this.We have an awful lot at stake here in this election. You may seen all of the various articles and stories about Hussein Obama's supposed plans for this country. I...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!You can tell by the tone of the voice of the Barack Obama hero worshipers that they are getting rather desparate.This morning when I woke up I had the opportunity to listen to a late night talk show called "The Midnight Trucking Radio Network". This is a show hosted by Gary MacNamara and Eric Harley. (I used to listen to Eric when he was a DJ at KNIN in Wichita Falls, Texas.)It's a great show to listen to when you're out on the roads hualing stuff. Lots of great informtation. Anyway, Gary and Eric dutfully did their home work...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!I've a couple of observations to share with you this morning to start the weekend with.First off, I want to address the situation with responses to some political ads on Youtube. As I'm sure may of you are aware most all candidates running for office have accounts on Yotube.Jim Inhofe who is running for another term in the U.S. Senate is one of those. He as some ads running at Youtube.There have been some smears against him posted in response to some of those ads by some who seem to have conservative derangment syndrome. Many of whom are Andrew...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!!I wanted to take just a brief moment to talk about a disscusion with evolved on a state newpaper's message board from a letter to the editor that I wrote the other day regarding the elctions.The discussion focused on the selection of judges and how the Supreme Court works.This is something that has been discussed numerous times. Probably one of the main points is that a judges job is to interpet the Constitution, not legislate from the bunch.There were some in the discussion that got it and some that didn't. The focus was on the idea of replacing the...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!!!I wanted to take just a moment to address concerns that the vast majority of Americans have regarding the possibility of Barack Obama's America becoming a reality.Eariler this week it was reported that several copies of the Ada Evening News in Ada Oklahoma last weekend had a unauthorized supplement in the form of a KKK flyer which spelled out some Anti-Obama information. As of right now, the authoirities are investigating this incident.The publisher of the Ada Evening News stated that his newspaper has no connections whatsoever which this white seprartist group. That this group was never authorized to add...

HOWDY FREEEPERS!!!!!!!!I want to take just a moment to address the issue of this so called "voting right" group known as ACORN.This is an issue that not only is it not getting the attention it needs but also those who are pointing out the problems with ACORN and it's ties to Hussien Obama are being branded as "racist". Which is really sad and unforuntate because this clearly is an illegal enterprise which is continuing to resort to criminal activity to try and influence the election because as the other side sees it, "The ends justify the means".You have been reading...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!Even though it is OU-Texas football weekend, I wanted to take just a few moments to address what appears to be a very disturbing trend regarding attempts by some in positions of authority to respond to political speech critical of Hussien Obama in a police state manner.Lately I've been reading all sorts of these stories on the Internet, stories about "Obama Truth Squads" In Missouri. A college kid who was banned essentially from the town of Burlington Vermont becuase he dared to point out Obama's ties with terrorist groups. A young housewife in Lufkin Texas who wound up getting...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!I may have addressed this subject in another Op-ed but I want to provide an update if I did.As I'm sure everyone in Oklahoma is aware one of the most hotly contested races is the one for the U.S. Senate.Jim Inhofe has served our state well for the last two decades and has broght Oklahoma values to Washington. He is currently being challenged by a career politician, from the big city, Andrew Rice.Now, both Rice and I are life long residents of the state. The big difference however is that I was raised in a rural small community and...

HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!This op-ed was set to be posted last week but Hurricane Ike delayed things.Since then a lot of stuff has been happening with this issue. It's been commented on by people like Michelle Malkin and Mike Gallagher and it concerns the bully mindset which seems to be getting used more often by the Obamaics out there.In fact, Barack Obama even came out and endorsed this mindset during a recent campaign appearence in Nevada when he said words to the effect of "I want you to get in their face and argue with them."To me, this earns the title of...
