Episode 69: Misdirection of America's Attention

Tonight we decided to talk about things that were getting missed by the major media outlets - or they were being covered on page C-75 of the business section! The main focus was to bring out those stories that have been covered up by the wall-to-wall coverage of things like the AIG outrage. Now, I'm not going to accuse the media or the Democrats of doing anything as underhanded as using diversionary media release tactics. Then again, there once was an aspirin factory... Tonight we found some news items that have been glossed over and three specific bits of legislation. These bits of congressional language got some coverage in the past but have had movement that has gone mostly ignored. Along with a great crowd in Second Life, we were joined on the call by "Wacko Bob" who is associated with the ... Tonight's hidden gems included the following:

• Paraplegic Man Suffers Spider Bite, Walks Again
• Ford CEO Favors Gas Tax
• Mileage tax gains some speed in Washington
• A.I.G. Sues U.S. for Return of $306 Million in Tax Payments
• Employee Free Choice Act of 2009 (aka Card Check) - This isn't new news and it's gotten a lot of discussion. The thing that has gone unreported is that it has been submitted in legislative form as of March 10
• Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act - This funds the "Civilian Force" that Obama has talked about. It's made it through the House and is being voted on by the Senate on Monday, March 23! If you can, contact your Senator through Senate.gov and tell them how you feel about this bill!
• Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 is by and far the most jaw-dropping item that has gone unreported! It creates a federal firearms registration system and directs the Attorney General to create a federal firearms injury database and certify state firearms registration systems.

Episode 51: Changing Course and Format but not Foundation

Tonight's show marks a change in the direction of the podcast. We are moving away from discussing news articles and leaving the campaigns alone. With the Obama victory, we as conservatives need to identify what we need to do to bring the Republican party back into power! In addition, we are going to examine the statements that are being made at change.gov and hold them up to the light. Tonight we brought in our new show format - we have decided based on traffic analysis and download counts that our audience wants to hear about conservative stances on issues! Our most popular shows by far have been those where we were talking about the issues, not when we were waxing eloquently about the failures or successes that were identified in the news. Each week, we will be taking about two or three main things. Tonight, we talked about the following things:

• Conservatism and it's place in the Republican Party - McCain and the "moderates" have done a wonderful job screwing up the GOP, now it's time to rebuild it. I agree with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council when he says, that conservatives need to take back control of the GOP if the party is to return to its winning ways..
• We reviewed the statement made by Mr. Obama regarding "National Service" and how he used this platform to sway many young Americans to support him by promising them a college education. We also mentioned the quote by Mr. Emanuel (Mr. Obama's Chief of Staff) in his new book, which identified that "Anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 would be compelled into public service". Where does this make things stand when we then look at the text of the 13th Amendment?

Tonight we wish Happy Birthday to Silverblade Dagger, one of our most dependable listeners in Second Life!
