TIME OUT

I will be attending to some personal business, so posting will be sparse. But, before posting this message, I did make my call to Washington D.C.--1-202-224-3121.

I wanted to let our "leadership" know my opinion on the $700 Billion solution. But the lines and voicemail boxes are overwhelmed. Americans are coming out of the woodwork, I think. And that's a good thing. I'll keep calling and I suggest you do the same. Email helps too. Just make contact!!

Now, while I'm off the air, here's your COMPASS HEADING. You'll never be lost...

TONIGHT--ANDREA SHEA KING INTERVIEWS DR. RUSTY SHACKLEFORD ON BLOG TALK RADIO

Dr. Rusty Shackleford's extensive research at the Jawa Report into who's behind the Sarah Palin smear campaign is spreading throughout the internet. Since posting his research, he has many important updates to the story--scroll away! I don't think there's much "blogger love" at the Obama campaign right now.

Michelle Malkin covers the story with lots of links; Melanie Morgan weighs in with her thoughts too.

***ANDREA SHEA KING--THE RADIO PATRIOT--HAS SECURED AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. SHACKLEFORD.

Show Details: The Andrea Shea King Show begins at 9 PM Eastern--Dr. Shackleford is scheduled for the top of the show--get there early.

A BIG "thank you" goes out to Lorie Bryd at Wizbang and Melanie Morgan for their assistance.

"ASTROTURFING"--DAVID AXELROD, THE CHICAGO WAY

If you aren't familiar with "astroturfing" or David Axelrod, you will be soon. There's a story out there that just broke late last night that's in the initial stages of going viral.

Just after the story hit the internet, the subjects of the story--Obama related, of course--were frantically removing information from internet sites in an effort to hide their possible involvement. This is going to be HUGE and it's happening because Sarah Palin is scaring the living s*** out of the democrats. The gloves are coming off.

Catch the links to this developing story at: THE RADIO PATRIOT and MELANIE MORGAN.

AND THE BEAT GOES ON

The past week has been one for the history books, and the weeks to follow will most certainly find their way into recorded history as well.

We've done much discussing of the issues, analyzing them and wondering where they'll ultimately lead us.

Today is Sunday. But before you rise Monday morning, you should have fully read and understood THIS ARTICLE. I think you'll recognize what it's conveying.

A commenter responds to one statement by the author:

"It may be too late to do anything about this as the world plays out its story."

--Well, it may only be too late to do anything polite about it.

*TONIGHT*--MELANIE MORGAN TO APPEAR ON "THE FACTOR" WITH BILL O'REILLY

Written by Melanie Morgan
Wednesday, 17 September 2008

Alert the Media!

Yours Truly will be appearing on The Factor with Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Network this Thursday, September 18th.

Bill's producers have invited me to discuss the snub of NBC News by the McCain campaign, awarding the next MSM national network interview of Sarah Palin to Katie Curic at CBS.

What does this mean? For one thing, it means that the campaign is smart to punish NBC for its endless bias against conservatives (particularly women) and the hateful diatribes by Keith Olbermann and the adolescent leerings of Chris Matthews.

Tim Graham from Media Research Center will be on the program, too.

Tune in 5:00 pm PST.

OBAMA USING TROOPS AS POLITICAL PAWNS

MOVE AMERICA FORWARD FREEDOM PAC has its ad up and running. Spread it around--this Obama story is of great importance. Right now I am very busy--life, you know--so go to The Radio Patriot for a complete rundown on this emerging story. HIT THE LINKS...and great work, Andrea.

*BREAKING*--MOVE AMERICA FORWARD FREEDOM PAC ISSUES PRESS RELEASE...DEVELOPING; PLUS TONIGHT'S ASK SHOW GUEST

"Move America Forward's new political action committee (PAC) has issued a press release today condemning the actions of Senator Obama."

(SACRAMENTO) -- Move America Forward’s political action committee, MAF Freedom PAC, today condemned Barack Obama for “putting his own political objectives ahead of the safety of U.S. military personnel in Iraq.”

Iraqi government sources have revealed to the New York Post that Presidential candidate Barack Obama demanded Iraqi officials stop negotiations with the Bush Administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. Fearful that the success in Iraq would harm his political aspirations, Obama sought to keep U.S. troops in Iraq so he can continue attacking the Bush Administration for not imposing a timetable for withdrawal.

“If these allegations prove to be true, it should be the end of the Obama campaign,” asserted MAF Freedom PAC Chairman, Melanie Morgan.--continue reading and hit the links.

On Monday, Morgan was kind enough to fill me in on other developing details. As of Monday, MAF FREEDOM PAC was in the studio producing a commercial spot regarding the Obama story that will soon hit the airwaves.



**TONIGHT**

THE FIRST LADY OF SPACE COAST CONSERVATISM--Andrea Shea King--will feature Dr. Jack Wheeler on her BTR Show. Dr. Wheeler is going to tell you what the hell is going on with this mess on Wall Street. And, as Dr. Wheeler will tell you, the problems on Wall Street don't begin and end there.

Dr. Wheeler is not one to soft-soap you when it comes to his opinions--he's controversial and tells it like he sees it. And he sees plenty. Dr. Wheeler knows the Washington D.C. power players, interacts with them on a regular basis and knows exactly what's going on...and I don't think you're going to like what he has to say.
In fact, much of what he knows he can't talk about. But we'll get as much intel out of him as we can.

REAL-TIME MARKET FIGURES.

The Andrea Shea King Show goes on the air at 9 PM Eastern.

UPDATED--CALLING ALL SUCKERS: IT'S MONDAY--DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR RETIREMENT PORTFOLIO IS?

***UPDATE: Tonight--The Andrea Shea King Show will feature Dr. Ken Gartrell, a management consultant and economic expert who will explain this messy Wall Street business. Tune in at 9 PM Eastern.

For the most part, I'd set politics aside for Monday, although Obama will mention and blame the Wall Street meltdown on the Bush administration, further reinforcing the idea that a McCain presidency will be a Bush third term. No, I would be checking the business pages all day long to see how this financial train wreck develops. Might even give your broker a call or two, but good luck trying to get through because he'll be holding lots of hands today. The way it looks now, it's going to get very ugly...very fast.

MOM AND DAD TALK ABOUT THEIR 2 YEAR OLD SON, PARKER DREW SEIBER AND GOV. SARAH PALIN

WELCOME READERS FROM: Melanie Morgan, Andrea Shea King

When I went to bed last night I had a post already planned for this morning. Well, here it is 4 am and I'm changing my posting plans already. But how could you blame me after opening an email like the one below?

Mr. and Mrs. Media Matters, local Sacramento bloggers and friends of this blog, gave birth to a sweet, little baby boy a couple years ago by the name of Parker. Many of you remember the difficult time they went through during the pregnancy--we prayed a lot. But they persevered, are happy and everyone's doing just fine. God Bless Them. Here's their email:

"Hi Thirdwave Dave. Hope you are doing well. One of these days we need to meet in person. The Media Matters family would like that. We could thank you for your service in person. I am sending this to everyone I know.

During a routine ultrasound in my wife's 25th week of pregnancy, we found out that our son would be born with special needs. Before he was born he had up to five doctors and there was even talk of surgery in utero or immediately upon birth. Some doctors warned us he might never crawl, walk or talk. While we were unsure of what to expect, we never considered an abortion. That's just not who we are.

Well, 2 years later our son Parker is happy and energetic...and he just happens to have Cerebral Palsy. So far, many of the doctors appear to have been wrong. While he lags on some of his milestones and may have some unique challenges, for the most part his CP seems to be a moderate case. We are so blessed to have him in our lives.

I don't write this as a way of tooting our own horn. Instead, it is a way of introducing the personal connection I feel to Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin. In her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, she spoke directly to me:

"And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House."

I had tears streaming down my cheek when she inspired me with those words. And they aren't just empty words. They are words she has lived by. She, too, has faced the same fears we did. Pre-natal testing revealed her son Trig would be born with Down Syndrome. But Governor Palin and her husband Todd are staunchly pro-life and they chose to allow their son to live. When he was born, Gov. Palin said/wrote:

"He's absolutely perfect...Many people will express sympathy, but you don't want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this...Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed-up world you live in...Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome."

And now, facing a difficult situation, her daughter is choosing life as well. While her family may not be perfect (and neither is mine), they are living the perfect example of valuing the sanctity of life. And their pro-life testimony will speak to millions of Americans. It already has.

I believe their stance scares the Enemy. And there is much hype and hoopla hoping to drown out her testimony. She is being persecuted, in part because of her faith, her family, and her pro-life stance.

In the days and weeks ahead on the campaign trail, she is a target. The enemy will continue to try and tear her down and weaken her family and her message. My hope in this email is not to persuade you to vote for her and Sen. McCain (though that would be cool). Instead I want to ask you to pray for her and her family. She will need strength and support to survive the relentless attacks. I ask that when you finish reading this e-mail you spend 15 seconds praying for Governor Palin and her family. Let's get behind a living example of someone who cherishes God's creation of life, even when it is seemingly messy or imperfect.

Thanks for reading this. And, thanks, too, if you choose to pray. Feel free to share this email with others if you wish."

God bless,
Rich Seiber

7 YEARS AGO, STILL AT WAR

This morning not only are people remembering the events of 9-11, they are remembering that we are still at war. I think many have lost sight of that fact. This is war. Andrea Shea King, Michelle Malkin and Melanie Morgan observe the day.

This first video is rare and disturbing. It will put you as the observer on the scene as the carnage unfolds:

OBAMA, IT'S IN THE MAIL

Today, Melanie Morgan had a stroke of genius regarding the lipstick flap at the Obama Campaign. Her post is titled: Obama: Kiss this! (also, Melanie links Andrea's Priority Mail Package.

"This is for all the ladies out there! As a result of Obama’s BAD joke, a new idea has been launched. All the women who are offended by this can send Obama their lipsticks. Now we all have ¾ used tubes sitting in drawers that we’ll never wear again. Send them off!"

AS THE WORM TURNS

Just a quick note about the Obama campaign. Mel Morgan posts "The Worm Has Turned in MSM." What a difference a day makes! Morgan, along with Lloyd Marcus, stopped by the Andrea Shea King Show last night...and what a show it was. Well worth a listen; you'll learn; you'll laugh. Hit the show archive.

As Morgan points out, things have certainly changed for the Obama campaign in recent times. But, as the video below demonstrates, Obama doesn't have a whole lot to work with, either. How long has Joe Biden been in public office--35 years or 35 minutes? There's a term for people who do this but I won't use it today. I'll just refer to Biden as "Mr. Hole." (if what happens in the vid isn't obvious, just think "wheelchair")

TONIGHT--MELANIE MORGAN, ANDREA SHEA KING, LLOYD MARCUS--"SARAH SMILE"

I'm on election info overload this morning and was forced to turn off the radio and tv in favor of some good music. Now I can post two items of interest from Melanie Morgan and Andrea Shea King. First Melanie:

As Commander-in-Chief (Chairwoman) of MOVE AMERICA FORWARD, Morgan finds herself battling many leftist organizations from one end of our Nation to the other. It's what she does. Today, Morgan points out one of those groups bent on attacking the republican ticket, specifically Gov. Palin. A sample:

A left-wing organization that I have tangled with publicly in the past has identified its newest target: Track Palin.

That’s right, a 19-year old private who happens to be the son of Republican Governor Sarah Palin is now being used as a pawn in their quest to gain power and undermine the war in Iraq.

This effort is being led by Jon Soltz, who runs a 501c3, called VoteVets.org. Soltz is demanding that the Department of Defense investigate a so-called leak of Track Palin’s deployment details to Iraq. Th hidden agenda is to investigate Sarah Palin and her family for 'leaking' deployment details.

VoteVets.org has circulated a petition demanding to know who gave these details to the media.

“When someone chooses to bolster that story by leaking classified details to the media, it allows the enemy to gain valuable information that allows them to strike at a symbolic target of importance – and all the troops around that target. It’s dangerous, it’s illegal, and it needs to be investigated” says Soltz.“Whoever is divulging this information to the media should be prosecuted and punished, if found guilty. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or of another party, we should all agree that we cannot accept anyone feeding classified details to the press. Join us in demanding the Pentagon investigate.”

While this sounds patriotic, and indeed commendable, I can assure you that VoteVets.org and Jon Soltz are only out to score political points against the Palin family and Republicans in general...continue reading at Melanie's site. (lots of good links too)

Now on to THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW:

Tonight, Andrea will be interviewing Lloyd Marcus. Lloyd's a good friend of The Andrea Shea King show--a very talented singer-songwriter as well as a great American patriot. Lloyd will be telling us all about his newest song, "Sarah Smile." This video (below) is making the rounds on the internet in a big way and we're all hoping McCain-Palin will use it as one of their campaign ads.

BREAKING NEWS: Melanie Morgan will be joining us too!!

Andrea's show starts at 9 PM Eastern. If you'd like to call in: 1-646-478-4604.

Mary Lou Wade of Florida's Space Coast sent this video to me. The message in the email was as follows:

PALIN--RNC GAME CHANGER

I have complete confidence in Sarah Palin's ability to deliver in a big way this evening at the Republican National Convention. The MSM will no doubt be waiting--hoping--for her to stumble. Palin, however, is not one accustomed to stumbling; she delivers. And tonight we will see how it plays out. It's game time and the Obama locker room is very nervous. More later.
