You know what Dave, that's a good question. Now that we're a few months down the road, what do you think of what has happened? I believe firmly that there are plenty of folks who want him to fail because of his ethnicity. As you no doubt know, I'm not a big fan, but I am seldom a big fan of elected officials.
You will need to clarify your statement , "I'm not a big fan ." ( of Obama ?) Do you have more of a problem with him because he's black ?? It's very evident that our country has a certain demographic , who are practically unquantifiable (by numbers)... who have been educated and conditioned by American society and culture , to dilike/hate/distrust black skin .
Greetings all, the conversation on gun control must include the removal of all assault style weapons from gun shows and the like. Effective back ground cks at gun shows and via internet sells is also a must.
Hey Levius. Thanks for chiming in. Sorry for the slow reply.
We agree that effective background checks are vital to protecting us from the sort of random violence we saw rip the nation apart last year, and for some, the gun show "loophole" is in fact a hole you could drive a Mack Truck though, but the day-to-day death and destruction which comes from gun violence may require a different response. So many folks leave guns loaded and out where kids can get to them. I don't think any of us feels like we have "the answer", but we sure do agree that the current situation isn't protecting us as well as it could.
I am encouraged by the President's response to this unfortunate issue. It took Congress 12 years to act after James Brady was shot in 1981, in the attempted assassination on then PResident Ronald Reagan by John Hinkle. The Brady Bill was signed by President Clinton in Feb, 1994. Let's hope it doens't take 12-13 years to address this issue this time.
Levius, now that we're a few months distant from the killings, we seem to be no closer to making the sorts of changes we need to make. We must address the culture of violence in our nation.
The FBI has stated that the Brady bill did nothing to stop crime. These gun bills have nothing to do with stopping crime. The gov of Colorado admitted that the bill wouldn't stop crime either. These are being used to take our rights away.
Thanks Ms, Charity Luv! How kind of you. We do try to make the show as accessible as possible...we want folks to be able to hear us! I hope you'll give us a call some day.
Well numbers, there may be but not that I know of on the radio. I am so glad you found us, and hope you'll tell your family, friends and co-workers, and of course, keep listening.
Jacqueline Keeler is fantastic. Thank you for having her as a guest. There is so much misinformation on this case that having someone who has explored this case in detail explain the complexities is a great help. Thank you.
Great interview with Ed Rabel. He will be a strong congressional candidate if he decides to run, and I hope he decided to run-- and to win. It would do West Virginia proud to elect the first Green ever elected to the U.S. Congress.
I'm happy that President Obama has been re-elected ... I'm curious to see how white back-lash will manifest itself .

DeleteI'm enjoying this show and just stumbled upon it by accident. Is anyone aware of a similar Occupy show based in FL?

DeleteObama is a war criminal and the Klan is active in the north as well so I don't know where the one woman is getting her info about Klan activity.
ReplyDeleteExplain why Obama is allowing no fair trial and that the government can torture and kill Americans at their will.
ReplyDeleteCamp David accords also is involved in this. So get the whole story do the research .. Egypt & Israel & US
