The betrayal of its purposes by the mainstream media.

A short post about the obvious prostitution and demise--not of the Republican party--but of the mainstream media who so obviously have exchanged reporting the news for manipulating it for their leftist agenda.

I like Ann Coulter!

A glimpse into one of the greatest minds and wits on the right. The left despise her, which means, like Rush, she is effective. Outrageous, yes. Funny, yes! I have learned a great deal by reading her.

A President Who Hates His Country

Not sure I can go everywhere this writer goes but the central point rings true to me. And I do not understand why a president would do such things.

A sampling of her points:
...multicultural trendiness is now a cynical cover for moral laxity...

LOCAL CONSERVATIVE TALKS SHOWS

LOCAL CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOWS

(I slowly discovered conservative talk radio over many months a few years ago as I was rejecting most news media and hunting for something more fair.) Those marked with an * strike me as a good balance between information, entertainment and fairness. Yes, I am aware that a couple of them are “flashpoints” for those who hate conservatism. I have also learned, though, not only to trust what they say but also to recognize and appreciate (at least those with the *) a good heartedness unrecognized by their detractors. I have stayed with them because what they say seems to me to be truth, full of common sense and care for the everyday person.
