A Request from our Conservative Friends at PowerLine

We happen to peek in quite often  to see  what our fellow conservatives at Powerline have  to report.      I have taken the liberty to pass on the following request to Prager fans  everywhere and to read and respond to the following request from public radio.

I confess to all that for decades many years ago, even before victim,  Juan Williams,  was an obnoxious, sour, and bitter afternoon public radio ‘entertainer’, I was a religious lefty regular  listener.   I even put up with “All things considered with Cokey Roberts, Mara Liasson, Nina Totenburg  and other mechanical snott, know-it-all  leftwingers. 

For years I built up a tower full of evidence that these lefty know-it-alls didn’t know much-at-all.   But they did know their Leftyism very well.   They were all  sisters of the same sorority.

Even when I was a lefty, I didn’t like the idea that my taxes helped pay for these bigots of everything buth the narrow university left.

I am convinced American conservativism at this moment in history, determined to restore to our conuntry its finest traditional values based upon America’s three pillars of belief,  as Dennis Prager terms it, the American Trinity:   In God We Trust, Liberty, and E Pluribus Unum is possibly leading to one of the greatest missions in all of the country’s history.

Free Americans must work diligently and cooperatively together to counter and defeat the racist and class warfar Marxist movements which have captured our young for the past two generations.   We must restore integrity, honest research and  the sacred drive to become forever more aware of the great unknown in a wholesome and Godfearing culture of tolerance and purpose.

We must confront and expose  the world of  Marxism to  understand its corruption of and  evil to human kind.    We must confront America’s enemies of liberty who have come to run and ruin our once honored institutions of learning.

We will win with knowledge, truth, civility,  and clarity and in our steadfastness to to apply knowledge, truth, civility, and clarity to win our battle.    Please read the following:

Minnesota Public Radio wants you!

by Scott Johnson

“Our friends at Minnesota Public Radio have previously sought to recruit Power Line readers into their network of conservative sources. Melody Ng of MPR has contacted us to renew the request and invite readers to participate in a special survey.

Unlikely as it may seem, given our recurring complaints about public radio journalism, we have an amicable and respectful relationship with MPR. MPR is hosting a one-hour special with John Hinderaker that will be taped next week on the evening of November 29 for broadcast on November 30. Melody writes:

This may be a good time to invite Twin Cities readers to join the live audience at John Hinderaker’s Bright Ideas show. We’d love to have more Power Line readers participating in the conversation. The taping is next Tuesday, November 29. The taping starts at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30. Everyone’s invited to stay for a reception after the show. People can reserve seats on the MPR website.

You asked when the show airs, for people who aren’t local or can’t make the taping. It will be on Midday on November 30 at noon CST. So people can either listen to MPR News on their radios (here’s a station map for the state) or listen online. It’ll be archived on the Bright Ideas Web page, so people can listen anytime after the 30th.

Now to the business at hand. Melody has drawn up a survey with my input. We would appreciate the participation of our readers. Here is her invitationt to Power Line readers:”

Journalists are only as good as our sources. That’s why we need you. With the presidential election next year, and the GOP nomination yet undecided, news organizations are hungry to hear from conservatives – to find out what’s driving your vote.

But we need you even more beyond politics – as expert sources on schools and taxes, the economy and the legal system, on health care and everything else we cover. Conservatives are an essential part of this country, and your voices, stories and perspectives must be represented in the media.

If you feel that mainstream media don’t currently do a good job of representing your views, then please take this opportunity to talk to us. The newsroom doors are open to you.

I know that some of you likely distrust my intentions. Scott Johnson asked me to say something to address your concerns. I’m not sure how best to do that. I can promise what we pledge to all the 130,000+ people around the country who are sources in our Public Insight Network. Anything you share with us is confidential to our newsrooms unless you explicitly give us permission to broadcast or publish it. We will never spam you or sell your contact information.

My colleagues and I consider it an honor to have our jobs as journalists, and I believe to my core that we want to report with integrity. You may not always agree with a news story – I know I don’t. But we do not wish to misrepresent anyone, and we’d treat you and what you tell us with respect.

You can become a source by answering a short survey telling us what events, books, people and other experiences have influenced your political viewpoint. Here’s the link:

When did you know you were a conservative?

Your story will help us tell the story of conservative voters. And, we’ll be in touch in the future for other reporting.

Melody promises to share the survey results with us and I think they will be of interest to readers.

In speaking with her over the past few weeks I have found Melody to be an incredibly nice and reflective professional. She offers to speak personally to readers who may be interested by have concerns about participation in the project or survey:

I’m happy to answer your questions or address your concerns anytime. You can find me at mng@americanpublicmedia.org or 651-290-1499. And if you’re ever in St. Paul, I will literally throw the newsroom doors open to you. Stop by for a visit.

Thanks for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Obama, the Devious, Duplicitous, Dishonest, and Deceitful, Blames GOP for Jobs Problem

One would think that the entire Republican House Majority were President and Senate all wrapped into one, by listening  to the first Marxist  president our nation has ever had to endure.

Obama has been traveling for more than two months now, campaigning, playing golf and warming up in the Hawaii sun.   He has chosen to distance himself totally from the trials and tribulations of politics in Washington.   His  Democrat Party controls the Senate and Mr. Obama did win the presidential election November, 2008.

He was also handed a decisive political defeat in November, 2010 for an assortment of reasons.  His most advertised achievement, the Obamacare Nationalizing of America’s Health Industry, was based on deceit, distorted facts, intimidation, and the famous comment about the bill needed  to pass before  Americans  could  find out the juicy things in it.   Mr. Obama, it turned out, was indeed, a Marxist.

The juicy things didn’t turn out to be popular, democratically oriented, and financially sustainable, and  possessed countless additions of deception slipped into the unread volumes and volumes of pages.

Mr. Obama’s main piece of his energy for the first two years of his presidency is now in the hands of the United States Supreme Court for review of its Marxist control over American health care.

Since then Mr. Obama has stepped out of the role as president abdicating any and all acts of leadership, except for one, the act of campaigning where he can hear his voice praise himself and stir hatreds against his opponents.

Here, the lone wolf, friendless, cold and calculating Marxist speechifies in New Hampshire about solving America’s  most serious problems:

“President Obama dusted off a phrase Tuesday in Manchester, N.H., that he last used during a prime-time speech to Congress in September. “Let’s meet the moment,” Obama told a crowd of about 1,300 boisterous students and adults at Manchester Central High School.

Congress has not voted to support most of Obama’s recent economic recommendations — either for new stimulus or a $3 trillion package designed to curb deficits — so Obama ventured to New Hampshire for the first time since 2010 and accused Republicans of not meeting that moment when Americans and the economy still need Washington’s help…..”
