WHAT MOST PEOPLE WON'T SEE -- Just A Minute Radio for Monday 01-18-10

            Here we are at the beginning of another *exciting* week in the history of our Republic.

 

            Despite the best efforts of the Democrats to turn the Senate into a rubber-stamp legislative body for their Party, certain circumstances keep getting in their way.  This time it’s the obstinate unpredictability of the “freedom from being intimidated” that characterizes  the American voter.

 

            Replacing Edward (Teddy) Kennedy in the Senate was supposed to be a shoo-in for the Democrats. After all they’d not sent anything except Democrats to the Senate since oh … about 1992…  Now all of a sudden, a conservative sounding State Senator named Scott Brown threatens to upset the Bay State’s Winesap cart… (Winesap is a hearty old-time New England favorite apple – not as popular as it used to be – but one that keeps well through the winter… You probably wouldn’t know that if you didn’t run a small apple orchard like my Auburn Alum graduate in Ag Engineering… did.)

 

            How does growing apples figure in holding on to the Republic?

 

            Well, MA (as the P.O. likes to abbreviate it) has a history of thwarting the British at Bunker Hill… alerting the Concord Minute-Men to the arrival of the Red Coats – and finally of shaking off the short-leash which the King of the U.K. kept “The Colonies” on, hampering their ability to engage in commerce or most anything else without royalty’s permission. Well.. we won’t go there today. (J)

 

            So when the Democrats decided to pass a government mandated health bill come whatever and high water… it rankled the old style American blood that still flows in the veins of American blue-bloods… who formed their own militias to be able to stand up when the ‘across the pond’ militias decided to tell them, down to the scruples, how to run their country.

 

            OK… so that’s a mangled bit of American history… but it has veins of *truth* buried in there.  You’re familiar with enough of it to sort it out.  Sometimes our Courts – and particularly our Congress tends to lose its way – not even mentioning the Executive Branch.  Then, as Ben Franklin, George Washington, James Madison and a host of others decided – along with John Handcock, who wrote his name large enough so the King could read it without his specs – crafted a Declaration of Independence… and a Constitution with its attendant Bill of Rights for American Citizens that has stood the test of time over a two hundred plus year history.  We’re thankful – and we’re still workin’ on it… so…

DON’T TREAD ON ME still flies in New Hampshire… and don’t forget it!

 

            Well… enough ‘harmonizing’ for this day… Let’s see what news develops by Wednesday when we visit again with the crowd at the BAIT SHOP AND SUSHI BAR not too far from the Caroliner Line…

 

            We’ll be lookin’ fer you too…

 

            Cordially, Jack  plus Billy-Bob an Frens.

“JUST A MINUTE”

WHAT MOST PEOPLE WON’T SEE

Just A Minute – All eyes are on the special Massachusetts’ election tomorrow – except it’s not an election, it’s a Boston street brawl, between Big Labor and everybody else.  If Mr. Brown does go to Washington in place of the hand-picked union candidate – it’ll kick the 60 vote dictate imposed by the AFL-CIO on their bought party -- the Democrats -- in the ashcan.

The polls I’ve seen are so close they’re statistically insignificant.  The recent gubernatorial victories in New Jersey and Virginia have sent the Democrats and labor bosses on 24 hour total red alert.  Union Bosses have mobilized a juggernaught to turn out their vote that’s not been seen since the days of Hitler’s Blitzkrieg. 

But if Republican State Senator Scott Brown can win this, he’ll instantly become Harry Reid’s nemesis, and win the Tea-Bagger’s Medal of Honor.  The hair-thin poll totals so far have sent serious chills among Democrats that could cause vote-switching.  Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank predicts if Brown wins, it’ll kill the Health Bill.

Our best course is to pray.

AN URGING TO 'THINK FASTER' IS WRONG -- Just A Minute Radio for Friday Jan. 15th 2010

            Howdy folks… it’s FRIDAY! 

 

            Just a couple of weeks till Groundhog Day… and perhaps we’ll get a whiff of Spring – which as I understand the sentiment -- will be most welcome.  But perhaps we’re just getting soft. (J)

 

            I’m remembering some years back when I had to fill out an analysis of our radio station’s programming every three years and turn it in to the FCC – Federal Communications Commission.  Things have changed a lot since then. It use to be one owner could not own both a newspaper and a radio station in the same market area. Then as regulation loosened up – we get to the situation we’re in today in which there are a whole lot more stations… but many fewer owners… and media is more plentiful on the one hand but more in the hands of fewer people.

 

            All that just to note, the world doesn’t stand still. Society is ever shifting along with whatever we call ‘culture’ in these days… so old guys like me are always most likely decrying what’s going on in society. 

 

            However, I do see areas of improvement.  We have more churches today serious about helping people… and America by most any standard, is one of the most generous, if not *the* most generous nation on the planet.  Trouble is it’s not always to good effect.

 

            I’m also encouraged to see there are new ideas on the educational front.  Charter schools are making headway, even though the two major teacher’s unions do all they can to hold back anything that does not have their imprimatur.  That’s sort of sad. You’d think teachers would be the most enlightened class… and perhaps they are … it’s just the NEA and AFT manage to cover it over so thoroughly.  In any case, progress and enlightenment do manage to make notable progress in spite of their opponents.

 

            I better go get my advocacy license renewed soon by the Department of Correct Thinking – I believe that’s coming along soon.  I probably won’t be a leading light there. (L)

 

            Anyway… glad to be back… looking forward to the Spring. 

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

AN URGING TO ‘THINK FASTER’ IS WRONG

          Just a Minute – In all his TV appearances last week, the President jumped on the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) and the CIA.  For the first time, the President used the phrase “We are at war…” and in his most  overbearing manner, ordered both agencies to speed up and develop quicker ways of pursuing leads to potential terrorists.

          In simpler language, he could have said: “Hurry up and connect the dots.”          Responding to the President, Mark Lowenthal, CIA's assistant director for analysis between ‘02 and ‘05, said: "You can't ask analysts to think faster.  And the president's solution to have analysts share more information sooner is only going to exacerbate the problem that got us into this flap in the first place."

          Apparently, the President is feeling the heat of the spotlight – which calls up a quote attributed to another Democrat, President Harry S. Truman: “If you can’t stand the heat – stay out of the kitchen.”

          Attempting to deflect Republican criticism, the President resorts to sloganeering – “I want citizenship not partisanship. “

          Mr. President, it’s a little late for that.

HIT'S WORSER THIS YEAR - Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday 01-13-09

            Hello Again… Here we are in the middle of the week…

 

            Almost in the middle of the first month – it comes Saturday or Sunday… and we’re skating on ice in lots of places here and up north.  I think the same slippery feeling in the feet must be affecting the Administration and the Congress as they prepare to take up their task of solving the mandated health care crisis they have created for themselves.

 

            I’m not one to greatly adhere to the “I told you so…” line.  We all make mistakes.  But I think the one that’s about to take the majority in Congress down like an ice patch you didn’t see coming when you started down the front steps, is their persistent concentration on what the President says *must* be their prime concern. It  isn’t – at least from what we can tell -- the safety of our nation.  He just seems fixated on getting this health care thing done no matter what the cost or result.

 

            The feeling I have is the same one that struck about a month after Mr. Obama’s inaugural about a year ago.  Then came the mammoth ‘Stimulus’ package that just *had* to be enacted or the financial world would come to an end.  It seems like we’ve had several waves of that during the past ten months or so.  Everything is a crisis that must be handled NOW!

 

            Then comes the ‘underwear bomber’ trying to blow one of the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flights out of the air – that would have likely killed a couple of hundred people – and it becomes clear (at least to me) where our attention needs to be focused in fact RE-focused.  We can’t depend on the incompetence of underwear bombers to preserve our national security. – The President after several days and several TV speeches returns to “Green Jobs.”  Green Jobs is NOT first on my list.  Safety and protection of American lives is.  Unless I deliberately mis- read what I see and sense on the national scene, that’s approximately the same way most American’s weigh up the issues.  I really don’t know what it takes to get attention directed to the right target – but I sense re-direction and better understanding better be expressed soon!

 

            At the same time… I’m NOT worried. I’m not worried about my future or that of my family because of our faith in the Lord.  It’s not the *primary* task of this program to be evangelistic or conduct a prayer meeting.  Those are excellent activities in my book… and we carry them on.  So I am content and to use St. Paul’s words… I’ve learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content.  But I’m not willing to see the danger ahead and maintain silence.  God IS in control.  And HE expects us to put the minds HE has given to good use.  I’m satisfied with that.  I also wish and urge that for you and your family too.  Then – no matter what – we *will* have a Happy New Year!  God bless you.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack

THE MAYOR SPEAKS HIS MIND - Just A Minute Radio for Monday 01-11-09

            No kidding… I don’t know where those “Global Warming” people are hiding out… where are you when we need you?  The Florida citrus and strawberry owners are wringing their chapped hands and wishing for the Spring.

 

            We really didn’t intend to take a Florida trip this time of year – but that’s how it’s turned out.  We have several family duties to carry out and hope this will be the last one for a while.

 

            Meanwhile, Congress doesn’t take up its duties until a week from today so I suppose we’ll be back for the “festivities.” It appears we are going to get a mandatory ‘buy into this government imposed health bill or else’ piece of legislation – but at least the members have had a long time to read the several thousand pages their co-horts have written for them.

 

            But poor C-Span… my dear old friend and press secretarial buddy, Brian Lamb, founder and moving spirit behind getting C-Span started and funded etc. feels definitely left out in the cold.  Never mind Mr. Obama promised on the campaign trail a dozen or more times there would be no more horse-trading going on inside closed conference room doors.  Those dozen or more promises captured on video have been shattered by dozen or more absolutely closed conference room doors.  Causes me to remember Will Rogers old gag that no one’s wife or property can be considered safe when the legislature is in session.

 

            Cheer up Brian… “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”  I believe you have the American people cheering for you. The tide is bound to turn.

 

            We’ll turn to more subjects selected from the Library this week.  Please join us.

 

            Cordially IN HIM,

 

            Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

THE MAYOR SPEAKS HIS MIND

          Just A Minute – Former New York City Mayor and GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said on Friday both the Fort Hood shootings and the Underwear Bomber; indicate incidents the President and advisors have made a fundamental error in handling the war on terror.  The president has tried to let “political correctness trump reality,” Giuliani said.  “…

          Later the President changed his language and for the first time used the phrase “war on terror.”  As I see it both Presidents used incorrect words – the usual result of hurried and not well thought out language.

          In the earliest days after 9-11, Bush spoke of “bringing the perpetrators to justice.”  That’s what police do, not warriors.  In battle soldiers kill the enemy, not “bring them to justice.”  – As President Bush subsequently found out.  It’s taken President Obama almost a year to apply “war” to what’s been going on at Ft. Hood and on the flight from Amsterdam.

          Imprecise terms lead to being “fundamentally wrong” – as Mayor Giuliani has now noted.  So let’s get it right and let’s get it done.

"WHEN MEN SAY ALL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY..."-Just A Minute Radio for Friday 08 2010

            G’day on a winter morning…

 

            Quite a few within the signal area of our prime outlet will have snow, covering the ground *again* -- and be wondering just what has become of the global warming so vociferously warned against by former VP Al Gore – whose carbon footprint – or either one of his regular footprints – turns out to be bigger than most. (J) Just a little joke Mr. Vice President.

 

            There’s so much news going on these days, my little one minute news budget struggles to keep up…but I find it rather fascinating.  The President holds a TV news happening to tell us something most everyone had figured out by now – we’re in a war.  So… he takes possession of it… it now belongs to him.  He doesn’t even roll anyone’s reputation out on the snow covered yard to get rid their poor performance of being in his Administration.

 

            Well… it’s not quite the middle of January.  Come the 20^th and he will have been President for one year.  He has taken more rides in AF One in the history of the Air Force – and broken all kinds of records – except for the one that counts… keeping America free from danger.

 

            Now we are opening a third front – in fact by the words uttered on air from retired military experts, this one apparently presents a more imminent threat to the lives and well being of Americans on American soil than at any time since 9/11/01.  We can be thankful for that – and also thankful for the Lord’s controlling hand on our Nation… and indeed on our planet before and since that time.  I would hate to be living in a world that is totally out of control.  Wouldn’t you?  May the Lord bless you and bring peace and tranquility to our land and our homes.  Those are not just nice sounding words – they constitute an urgent and I believe effective prayer to Almighty God.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

“WHEN MEN SAY ALL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY…” 

          Just A Minute –  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, persecute you … and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake … (Matthew 5:10)

          Those words are from the fifth chapter of Matthew’s gospel – Jesus speaking to his disciples.  Brit Hume, formerly of ABC-News and Senior Fox News Host, had good reason to recall his Savior’s words recently giving on-air advice to golfer Tiger Woods. 

          Brit, who grew up in Washington DC, attending St. Albans at National Cathedral along with Al Gore and Evan Bayh, caught a lot of flak from fellow journalists for advising Tiger he’d be better off embracing the forgiveness of Christianity, repenting of betraying his wife and family and seeking forgiveness and salvation.

          Hume’s straightforwardness and non-judgmental assessment was met with astonished catcalls and condemnation from the National Press Club crowd.  One just doesn’t talk that way inside the Beltway. 

          As one who’s been there – it would be tremendous improvement if they did.  Good job Brit – carry-on.

NELSON STUCK HIS NECK IN IT - Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday 01-06-10

            Great to have you with us today –

 

            Senator Ben Nelson – former Governor of Nebraska – and into his second term as Nebraska’s Senior Senator, cut himself a deal with the Senate leadership and became the critical anti-filibuster 70^th vote for the Democrats on Christmas Eve.  But the bloom seems to be off the Poinsettia.

 

            Nelson’s approval ratings – last time he won with over 60 percent of the vote – are now hanging around  the low thirties… Not a good sign for an incumbent.  It’s pretty sure there will be a line of candidates waiting to help him change occupations. Whether they can do it having to wait ‘till the next Presidential cycle in 2012, is to be seen – but for now it looks pretty grim.

 

            His line is, he argued for the special treatment for all of Nebraska’s Medicare recipients – that will have to be paid for – in perpetuity -- out of every other state’s Medicare fees. It’s not proving to be as popular as he probably calculated. His home state voters in present polls indicate they’ll turn him out – but they also say if he rescinded his position he’d pop right back to the top. It’s a bouncing pogo-stick to ride.

 

            Nebraska has voted more consistently Republican than any other state in Presidential years – but they have occasionally elected contrarians to other offices. Nelson is such a one but they sent such a strong “don’t bother running” signal to Chuck Hagel – who had beaten Nelson in a previous Senate run – he called a news conference to say he’d decided not to run and now sits on the sidelines having thought he might be able to switch bloodlessly to the Democrats.  But not in Nebraska – at least not this time.

 

Nelson has a year and a half to contemplate being permanently sidelined. I wouldn’t guess it’s pleasant… but it’s politics.  My guess is he’s now become a senator marked for defeat in the corn-husker state. 

 

            Governors who resign with an ‘arrangement’ to have themselves appointed to an unexpected senate vacancy, have an exceedingly thin track record of making the switch. Nebraska voters up to now have said they don’t like the style.

HAS AMERICA GONE COLD-BLOODED? - Just a Minute Radio for Monday Jan. 04, 2010

            Hello on the first Monday of 2010…

 

            Welcome to the FrigidAir…(sorry about the brand name… not intended)  we don’t usually have it this cold around these parts… but I guess it’s part of the scenery. Brrrr…..

 

            Today – it was announced over the weekend – we are closing our embassy in Yemen apparently because of the so-called underwear bomber… I won’t attempt to pronounce or spell his name.  You know who I’m talking about.  The State Department apparently believes Embassy Personnel are endangered there – and from what I’m inclined to believe, they are right.

 

            The difficulty is this is mainly just so much temporizing.  This threat, if the Homeland Security people are to be believed – and I think for the most part they are… just not the upper level political appointees … it’s probably a good move to make and most likely comes a little late.  The difficulty is, it’s not really aimed at solving our problem. 

 

            Mr. Obama has thought from the beginning of his campaign and now almost to the end of his first year of presidency, in a way that appears to be a non-starter regarding his policy toward getting bad guys to turn into good guys.  Frankly, the previous administration doesn’t come off so well either… but in my view that probably ought to be laid more at the feet of the professional appeasers in the Dept. of State than the workaday professionals. The problem seems to go back to the fact we have a lot of soft-headed-policy people in State who think that their job is ‘makie-nicey’ to the world’ and they’ll smile back at you.  But the world runs on honesty and performance – not ‘makie-nicey’.

 

            I don’t subscribe to the growly-grouchy tone of being Mr. Grumble to the rest of the world either… we already have the burden of being “too” rich and “too” powerful and all the rest – which generally gets us assigned the role of being responsible for all the woes of the world.  At the same time it gives us as a nation a lot of opportunity to ignore and be the “ugly Americans” even when we don’t realize it.  Foreign policy isn’t rocket science – [Sorry Dr. Kissinger] and it does require an appreciation of culture, and customs etc. I don’t profess expertise.  However America’s role in the world, like being the leader of the parade, is an opportunity to have a lot of kicking and back-biting going on where you don’t easily correct it.  Well… time for my non-professional seminar in what we do wrong overseas will come another day. Nonetheless – we surely could do a better job of loving our neighbors as ourselves!

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

HAS AMERICA GONE COLD BLOODED?

          Just A Minute – America didn’t roll back the Tiananmen tanks in 1989, but the brave students at least knew we were on the side of liberty; even some in their own government thought so too.

          But recently Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flies all over Latin America saying, "Ideology is so yesterday…" allowing dictators Chavez and Castro to believe America is losing her grip.  Do we think the Yemeni Al Qaida tremble because yesterday America announced we’re closing our embassy there?  Were it not for a damaged syringe, we would probably be mourning 300 casualties from the Yemeni radical flying Amsterdam to Detroit with high explosives in his underwear.  

          What’s our response?  It took only a week to get our vacationing Hawaiian President to connect the dots.  Will he get the UN to pass a resolution?  Sen. Susan Collins of Maine says Homeland Secretary Napolitano’s initial remarks were “inappropriate – bizarre.”  Our Senator DeMint says we need to stop politicizing crimes, get on with it.

          If you want a good prayer to guide your thoughts about war – just read Psalm Eighteen.
