The tea baggers will be the loudest and most hostile. They will attack the Rovian/Gillespie faction with vicious allegations of sabotage. Rush Limbaugh will be their chief spokesperson against Rove, and he will be finished as a player in the party.

So far I have not heard one republican say her decorum is way beyond the pale, and should not be condoned. So I guess when the president, attorney general,and a host of other high government officials are people of color - its okay to be racist, have conflicting interest, and ignore the usual protocol of government.

Let's face it sports fans, there are some real anal retentive voters in America today. To hate the president so much that you would vote for someone wanting to repeal health care reform, finance reform, unemployment benefits, education, and stem cell research - is a sure sign of a mental disorder.

The allegations against a popular church pastor in America opened up a dialog long ignored by the Black community. The emails and phone calls I received about pedophilia, incest, rape, and homosexuality in our community shocked me to the point of wanting to do something about it. As a church pastor, I am of course disappointed in the alleged behavior of a colleague. Things like this can cause people to lose their faith, or think all ministers are predators. This show will be a couch for those needing to vent, share their experience, or regain their self respect after suffering sexual abuse, or sexual orientation problems.

If we stick with the democrats I know it will be a positive recovery from the ditch republicans left us in after Bush 43. If the nation votes to return the GOP to power it will be a relapse of epic proportions, and our nation will face the toughest economic conditions in our history.

He is too good of a man for America.

Under the leadership of President Obama we have slowly, but surely, changed for the better in critical areas. We can look at Health and Financial Reform changes, education emphasis, equal pay for women, and a minimum wage boost as progressive positives. We can look at the rescue of the Automobile Industry, and the pending withdrawal of our troops from Iraq as positive progressive changes. All of the above notwithstanding, media continues to only focus on negatives such as race, an economy slowed by corporate malfeasance, and partisan polls.

Robinson conducts workshops and seminars on leadership topics, strategic planning, team building, and conflict resolution. Whether you lead in church or the community, a classroom or boardroom, there are some essentials you must know. Some might call them principles, but Robinson believes they are much more and has identified what he calls 7 leadership imperatives, gleaned from the life of the biblical figure, John the Baptist. In 2006, Robinson took an early retirement from his position as a senior division manager for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to focus on a speaking and writing ministry to help equip others with the knowledge and tools they need to lead in their own world. His 26 years of public administrative experience provided him with a laboratory for implementing his 7 leadership imperatives. Over more than two decades with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Robinson honed his supervisory, mentoring, and communication skills, and was certified as a quality manager through the American Society for Quality. He understands business and the challenges inherent with delivering quality products and services. As a deacon at his church, The Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Robinson also appreciates how leadership characteristics in the secular world translate into the church and ministry setting. He knows from experience that effective leadership at all levels is essential. Included in Robinson's varied experiences is having obtained his BA degree from the University of Virginia. An active member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Robinson also serves as Executive Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Development Institute.

Call it the preacher in me addressing the Bible in our lives right here, right now. Every where I look I see the seven deadly sins in full effect. We are no longer concerned about our moral failures, or exposure of our sinful selves. 2Timothy 3:1-9 is being fulfilled right before our eyes, and we are enjoying what we see. Today is my first show delving into the spiritual side of my personality, and I chose to challenge listeners in a way that is both provocative, and critical. I dare you to join me in a discussion about the lack of a moral compass guiding our words, actions, and deeds. Some may say it must be something in the water, others may want to blame it on the shoes; I think Satan is way too popular in todays society and holds too much sway over our behavior. What say you? Roll with me at 11:00am CST this Saturday and tell me what you think. You can call me or use the "Talk to Host" link on my broadcast page. The number to dial is (646)716-4664.

In this new century of big ideas, big scandals, and big breakdowns in marital relationships, we have become a nation of voyeurs into the private lives of the rich and famous. Our tabloid culture with video cams and digital cameras constantly on makes it impossible to sneak around town, or even overseas as Governor Mark Sanford can attest too. Is a lasting marriage between a man and a woman becoming passe? Are the words "until death do we part" now obselete?

The King of Pop was laid to rest with all the amenities of a man loved by all who know him, and millions who really didn't. In a display of testimony and talent never before displayed in such an amazing way, America was treated to a glimpse into the power of a shy manchild to mesmerize presidents, kings and queens, people of every ilk and stripe - the world. Michael Joseph Jackson got his revenge on negative media, republican congressman Peter King, and anyone else thinking he was just another Black man that could sing and dance. Today's show will be my take on the matter from the promise to the politics.

I suspect her given reason is just a smoke screen, but we will have to wait and see if the belle of the right-wing nut division of the party reveals the real deal on another day. As of July 3 her only excuse is "I know when it is time to pass the ball for victory." Now isn't that special - a girl with a sports metaphor vocabulary. According to Mrs. Palin it was a unanimous family vote that sealed the deal, and she is quitting in two weeks. I personally believe something scandalous is about to break out on the lady and she is doing an early mea culpa.

The hatred of the president is ultra racist, and white men are allowed to express their bigotry without fear of the authorities. That this guy can sit on national television and express such a thing should make every American sick, but he said it on the FOX News channel and they are the number 1 watched channel. They have more viewers than any other cable news channel in America. More Americans agree with their reporting and commentary than with CNN and MSNBC. It's sick I know, but like hate radio hate television makes republicans feel justified in their hatred of the president, Mexican immigrants, and Blacks and Browns in general.

Provocateurs like Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Boortz, Savage, Levine, Bachmann, Gingrich, et al must be stopped by any means necessary - including those they advocate for the president. It is past time for civility in broadcasting during a time of crisis in our nation. Appealing to the under belly of the population with scare talk and racist ranting has created an atmosphere conducive to mayhem.

The vile rhetoric spewed around the clock daily is designed to provoke an act of violence against the president by one of many deranged listeners to talk radio. Republican elected officials like Michelle Bachman of Minnesota uses the venue to appeal for an attack on the nations first Black president. The nut case in Pittsburg, PA is an example of what can happen when already unhinged people are prompted to protect their gun rights from the Obama administration. 3 dead policemen can be attributed to hate radio and there will be more acts like this as the year grows older. Today I will talk about what we must do to stop this effort by right-wing nuts to harm the president.01:00:00Garrett RadionoHate radio wants pre,Obama in danger now,Limbaugh and his ilk,Michelle Bachman is,Republicans want ObaRight-wing hate radio is pleading for the assassination of President Barack Obama.
