Free Republic

I just turned Neal Boortz off, he came on ridiculing today's legal eligibility proceedings in Georgia. This isn't the first time he has pi$$ed me off but he showed his a$$ big time today.

"Women For Cain" is an online national fellowship of women dedicated to helping elect Herman Cain as the next President of the United States. Mr. Cain has been a strong advocate for women throughout his lifetime, defending and promoting the issues of quality health care, family, education, equality in the workplace and many other concerns so important to American women. Gloria Cain is the National Chairperson for "Women for Cain" and is the very special woman who Mr. Cain devoted his life to many years ago. Mr. Cain and Gloria celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary earlier this year. The couple...

OK, Republicans. Since you’re so religious and all – it’s time for a little “come to Jesus meetin’”. If you’re not familiar with the term, click on the link. It’s time for a little harsh dressing down. Do you realize what we have at stake in this election next year? This isn’t just about taxes, pork spending, social security benefits and repairing bridges. This is about saving our Republic. Do you know we’re already past our life expectancy? Economies and societies built on the rule of law, liberty and economic freedom have this troubling tendency to destroy themselves at around...

This is a prime example of what is outrageously wrong with government interference in the private economy. We now have the White House telling a private insurance company that it should not raise its rates. Pennsylvania-based Everence Insurance, a Mennonite insurer, says it needs to raise its rates by an average of 11.6% in the small-group market. We can assume that they arrived at this figure based on legitimate economic and financial research and number-crunching .. after all, what business really WANTS to raise its rates on its customers by any significant amount. So because this company wants to raise...

Yesterday the Dow dropped by 419 points. So how far does it drop today? Or do we see some of yesterday’s losses reversed? And --- the big question --- what’s with this effort to make us all believe that this is just “bad luck” brought on by the earthquake in Japan or free subways in Greece? How much longer are the American people going to be expected to swallow that nonsense? Just what has happened to bring us the worst recovery since the Great Depression? Why can’t our economy get on track? Just last week 408,000 additional American applied for...

Hey everyone this is my first article in over six months, before I get to todays topic I want to update all my fans and readers on what has been going on. First of all as you know I have been focusing mainly on my vlog on youtube also called mainestategop and on starting a new libertarian organization based on the tyranny response team which I and many friends of mine are members. The organization is called the New England Alliance for Liberty and Free Markets. Were hoping to hold a convention next year either in Concord or Portsmouth. You...

Do you notice how the Democrats are cranking up the class warfare rhetoric? The ObamaMedia, of course, is loving it, and they’ve shown their eagerness to promote the message right into the election. Just know this … the media – with exceptions of course – is dedicated to the reelection of The Community Organizer. The only real tactical question is just how obvious they are going to be about it. The dumb masses must be reeled in --- so let’s not make it too obvious. Actually … it looks like the dumb masses have already been reeled in. I cited...

My WSB colleague and guru, the Talkmaster Neal Boortz, created a bit of controversy this past week over comments he made about shooting thugs in Atlanta. The controversy actually blew up because of Ed Schultz at MSNBC who claimed Boortz was advocating the murder of urban youths in Atlanta. In fact, you can see this screen shot from the Schutlz show highlighting Neal Boortz’s controversial comment: Ed Schultz Doctors Neal Boortz's Quote There’s just one problem here. In both the screen shot and the accompanying audio, Ed Schultz doctored Neal Boortz’s quote. See, Boortz said those things, but in the...

I have seen a couple of posts on here regarding Herman Cain, and heard him on Neal Boortz' show lots of times. Boortz really seems to love the guy. And I am inclined to like anyone who is pro-Fair-Tax more than someone who is for continuing the current income tax mess, which costs America far more productivity than any sales tax that replaced it ever could. But I haven't heard Cain talk about some controversial areas where I may well have concerns about his views on the Constitution. And where I have heard him talk on the issues, he's sometimes...

What is it with "Geniuses" like Neal Boortz? Tonight and just about every other night .. The guy goes on a rant about .."Republicans are going to lose" if they continue the anti abortion rhetoric! On and on he goes about how MEN want to take away a Womens right to 'reproductive choice'! WE are going to destroy the Republican party if we keep on with the Abortion rant! (His words) A 'self described' brilliant thinker and talker (Boortz) is no better than the average Idiot who has fallen for the "Pro Baby Killers" and "Liberal/Communists<---> Democrats" (I repeat myself)...

Not sure about you, but I was absolutely thrilled last week when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed the legislation ending most collective bargaining rights for government worker unions. The more these government employee unions get slapped around by reality, the happier I am. I want to talk about the college students we saw protesting in Wisconsin ... but first, let me remind you that this whole stink wasn’t really about collective bargaining rights. The real foreign object in the punch bowl for the unions and for Democrats was the end of dues check-off; the end of the union’s ability to...

Abercrombie finds only notation in a log book. From Eric Dondero: Republican Congressman Bill Posey of Florida introduced legislation last year to require future presidential candidates provide proof of United States citizenship for the Presidency. From LR, July 2, 2009, “3 libertarian-leaning Congressman sign on to Posey bill demanding Birth Certificate for Presidential eligibility” July 9, 2009: While it may be too late to revoke Barack Hussein Obama’s hold on the Presidency, it is not too late to make the issue of his birth outside of the United States, most likely in Kenya, an issue for Campaign 2012. With that...

Neil has spent the past 2 segments discussing the gov of HI's failure to produce the long form BC. He actually said there may be something to it??? He still doesn't get that there is more to being a natural born citizen than simply being born in America, but it's a start.

Raymond Royal Marshall, sidekick and engineer for syndicated talk show host Neal Boortz, has died. Pete Spriggs, program director for AM750 and now 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB, said he collapsed at his Atlanta home and was pronounced dead at Grady Hospital at about 1 a.m. early Saturday morning. Assistant Program Director Condace Pressley said it was too soon to pinpoint cause of death. He was 43. “He was a good man,” she said. “I can’t believe he’s gone.” Marshall has worked with Boortz for 17 years, according to the WSB Radio biography for Marshall. A St. Louis native and graduate...

Macon city councilman Erick Erickson says he plans to vacate his council seat within the next six months. He says he's leaving council to start a new full time job: hosting a daily radio talk show on Atlanta's WSB. "It at some point will become impactful to my time on council," says Erickson. His show will air Monday through Friday from 9 pm. to 12 a.m. beginning this Tuesday. He says he's been working on the deal for several months but just signed the contract last week.

Herman Cain is filling in for Neal this morning (Wed, Dec 29) and tomorrow (Thurs, Dec 30) Today, he is talking about the economy, energy independence, national security and more. Tomorrow he will host an on the air "town hall" meeting.

Over the past few months, I have found Boortz' radio show to be very thought provoking and even though I have posted bits and pieces of what was discussed that day in other threads, I wanted to throw out the idea of a Boortz Live Thread. Let me know if you are interested and I will develop a PING List and will try my best to post the thread each day. Let me also know if you are willing to co-post the thread if I am unable to post on a certain day.

Here's something else the wealth envy constituency crowd will never understand. When taxes are lowered on these evil rich people, our government may actually take in MORE revenue! For example, "The CBO calculated that the post-March 2003 tax cuts would lower 2006 revenues by $75 billion, yet 2006 revenues came in $47 billion above the pre-tax cut baseline released in March 2003." Why were those CBO estimates wrong? That would be because by regulation the CBO is not allowed to take a dynamic view of the economy. By that I mean the CBO cannot consider the fact that a person...

Neal Boortz: 17 days away from righting our wrongsBy Neal Boortz For The AJC 7:38 p.m. Friday, October 15, 2010 **SNIP** Then we had companies like McDonald’s suggesting that they were going to drop their “mini-med” plans. Why? The mandated increases in benefits would be simply unaffordable. Obama moved quickly to offer waivers to McDonald’s and (why not?) to some of his union pals. So much for the law applying to everyone equally. Now, 17 days before the election, we have a new poll provided to me by Fox News showing that 59 percent of Americans want ObamaCare either repealed...

For 16 years I've been telling you that if the Democrats gained enough power in Washington, they would attempt to seize the money you have in your 401K, IRA and private pension plans. Many of you poo-pooed me, calling me "over-the-top" or unable to back up my claims. Maybe you might be interested in knowing that just last Thursday, a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a hearing on retirement savings and security. WebGuy forwarded me lots of emails of people asking me to prove it. So here you go. You can watch the committee meeting right here...

This bumper sticker was spotted on Peachtree Street in Atlanta on the back of a beat-up SUV sporting a Harvard license frame: The world will be a better place when our schools have all the money they need and the military has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber. The principle problem with this bumper sticker - one I suspect is loss on the ignoranus driving the car -- is that national defense is specifically mentioned in the Constitution whereas education is not. But let's not confuse our liberal friends with facts. Despite the ignorant liberal logic, let's...

SNIP...After Arizona passed the law one Robert Sarver, the owner of the Phoenix Suns thug .. er ... basketball team spouted off in opposition of the bill. That ... according the legend ... prompted this response from Governor Jan Brewer: "What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea just who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore; what if Suns' ownership was...

Neal Boortz: ObamaCare has stealth IRS bombBy Neal Boortz Opinion 9:00 p.m. Friday, July 23, 2010 Now what was it that Princess Nancy Pelosi said? Oh, yeah, I remember. It was something to the effect that we were going to have to go ahead and pass ObamaCare so that we could see what’s in it. I suppose that made sense, in a medical way; but it certainly wasn’t that smooth a move insofar as the electorate is concerned. The latest polls show that 56 percent of Americans want ObamaCare repealed. You’re about to discover yet another reason why: Do you...

I cannot imagine why someone would dedicate himself to a religion that provides just one of many equally valid paths to salvation. That’s why I was taken aback by my old friend Neal Boortz’ somewhat harsh treatment of a man who called his show some months ago and quoted John 14:6 as evidence that Christianity is the only path to heaven. Of course, Neal isn’t a pastor and he tends to do things just to get a rise out of people. So his comments weren’t nearly as objectionable as Joel Osteen’s sidestepping of the “How many paths to heaven?” question...

With the most recent arrest of the Times Square SUV bomb plotter, and with Mayor Michael Bloomberg in not naming the enemy, a radical Islamic jihad terrorist. This video by talk radio show host, Neil Boortz a couple of years back, when he responded to a young adult male Muslim caller.

I wish Boortz were on XM. I'd love to be able to listen to him, but the only place he's on around me in a station in Omaha during the evening.Alas, I am restricted to reading his tweets and his blog, Neal's Nuze.Today, he expands on a tweet he sent Sunday, which read: "Nancy Pelosi will be grinning and laughing this afternoon. Today will do more damage than 9/11." He's 100% right. He continues: On September 11, 2001 Americans ... ALL Americans ... knew that our country had been attacked. There was an immediate consensus that the attack would not...

The Online Tax Revolt is easy. While sitting at home, I'm marching with Joe the Plumber. You can see the march online [link coming up]. I heard Neil Boortz talking about this last Friday. It's compelling. You get to choose one of many leaders. Some are choosing Reagan. Others choose Boortz. You just give your name, zip, and email. I've been assured that the email remains anonymous. [Some people use their freep names, etc.] This is a revolution in activism. DC can lie about their emails, their calls, their letters -- they can even lie about how large a physical...

We'll make the announcement today on the show. I've never seen anything like this done before ... but the short version is that you'll be able to participate in a march on Washington for tax reform [online]. It doesn't matter whether you support the FairTax, a flat tax, or just lower tax rates. If you want to see reform they you should participate. The march will culminate with a rally in Washington on April 15th ... and yes, you can be there in person or participate * * from home * *. This will be innovative and fun ... so...

“I am honored by the invitation to address you on this august occasion. It’s about time. Be warned, however, that I am not here to impress you; you’ll have enough smoke blown up your bloomers today. And you can bet your tassels I’m not here to impress the faculty and administration.

There is a vacuum on the left.  It’s where logic should be, but isn’t.  Seeing nature abhors a vacuum, it has been filled…with lunacy. For a prime example, I give you Keith Olbermann. According to Olbermann's logic, since 45,000 people a year die from a lack of health insurance and Boortz is against the current “reform” of health care,  Boortz therefore approves of the death of 45,000 Americans. While that is flawed logic, let’s use it. 

Today, some 44 million Americans pay NO federal income taxes at all. Yet the top 1% of income earners pay 40% and the top 10% pay 72%! It's sad enough when a nation punishes it's most productive citizens and rewards the least productive. And astonishingly, the top 50% of American earners brought in 88% of income dollars but paid 97% of all income taxes in this country. Thus, half the American population pays almost the ENTIRETY of income taxes.

A great analogy that explains the dilemma of our "redistribution program" here in America (welfare, food stamps, or Medicaid, etc.) is one of a triplex. I must thank Neal Boortz for this analogy (his book, The Terrible Truth About Liberals), by the by. Our government, as our Constitution says, derives its powers “from the consent of the governed.” The idea here is that we cannot and should not ask the government to do anything for us that we cannot legally or morally do for ourselves. Sounds logical, doesn’t it? With that premise in mind, lets build the following scenario. You...

This bit is hard to start ... because there are so many things to say and so many people to thank. I'll keep it mercifully brief... Then there was the Hall of Fame dinner and ceremony Saturday night. I was just too nervous to eat ... which was probably a good thing. First up was Rush Limbaugh to deliver my induction speech...

...Today, let’s talk cameras. Cameras on utility polls. Cameras on the corners of buildings. Cameras following you as you walk through town, a college campus, or your own neighborhood. Upset? Seems quite a few Atlantans are...

During today's show, Boortz addressed his comments that he made on Monday regarding the alleged hijacking of the GOP by the pro-life wing of the party. Boortz claims that this faction of the GOP has caused the Party to lose the popular vote in the '96, '00, and '08 Presidential elections. While the radio show host did not explicitly state his personal opinion on the abortion debate, I perceive that the so-called libertarian is pro-choice in that he talks about a "woman's right to choose" and divides the players in the abortion debate into 2 camps: the pro-choice camp and...

I know it is a bit different to talk about talk show bumper music, but what are your top 3 bumper music tracks used on the Boortz show and Limbaugh's show? Personally, I think Boortz has slightly better music than Limbaugh, though Limbaugh does pretty good, too. My favorites for Boortz are his main theme (Heart of Rock and Roll), Good Thing, and Cantaloop. There's also this one song played on Boortz yesterday going into the first half hour break that I don't know the title of- there were no vocals, but it sounded like something from the 80s with...

At first I thought this article was a joke. I really thought that there was no way our government schools have gotten this bad. But I was wrong. Go figure. The Tucson Unified School District has decided to implement a two-tiered system for student discipline. One tier will be for blacks and Hispanics ... and the other tier will be for everyone else.

So .. here is what Jimmy Carter, Bill Moyers, Hank Johnson, much of the Washington and New York press corps, Newsweek Magazine and the brilliant thinkers on the American left would have you believe of Americans right now: We would be more than willing to welcome cap-and-trade with open arms, even if we paid a thousand dollars or more extra every year for our energy use, if Barack Obama were only white. We would be dancing in the streets celebrating the dawning of government control of our health care if only Barack Obama were white. It would be just dandy...

And just who didn't see all of this coming? Come on, folks! Having you been paying attention for the past 30 years? In virtually every state and community in this nation liberals have been blaming racism for any failure, miscalculation, controversy or outright act of corruption by black elected officials. There has been a standard operating methodology in place for all of the 40 years I've been doing talk radio: Black citizen elected to office.Black official runs into opposition to policy objectives or has a problem with corruption.Black supporters and liberals blame the problems on race.

Today at noon Barack Obama addresses the nation’s schoolchildren .. or a good number of them anyway. Many students won’t hear the speech because of a rather severe miscalculation from the right. Republican screaming and wailing made it sound as if Hugo Chavez was flying in via Aeroflot to speak to our poor, innocent, unsuspecting angels. School districts reacted … and millions of school kids will sit around picking their noses at noon instead of watching the speech. So now the speech is out. As of yesterday afternoon you could read it on the Internet. I’ve read it, and if...

Every once in a while I just get lucky. I make an offhanded remark on the air that sends the looters into such paroxysms of angst and outrage that I get about a weeks worth of a free ride in blogs, columns and radio and TV shows.

Transcript of remarks made by Leo Carrington (who doesn’t exist) to a mandatory meeting of all employees of Carrington Automotive Enterprises, Inc. (which doesn’t exist either) on August 17th, 2009 at the Royal Payne Hotel (a purely imaginary place) in Norfolk, Virginia (which does, in fact, exist). I would like to start by thanking you for attending this meeting, though it’s not like you had much of a choice. After all, attendance was mandatory. I’m also glad many of you accepted my invitation to your family members to be here as well. I have a few remarks to make to...

LET'S END WITH THIS ... By Neal Boortz August 7, 2009 8:29 AM I did all I could last night to research this bit on the Internet. Snopes had nothing. This is a message an airplane pilot sent to his colleagues after one particular flight: My lead flight attendant came to me and said, 'We have an H.R. on this flight.' H.R. stands for human remains. 'Are they military?' I asked. 'Yes', she said. 'Is there an escort?' I asked. 'Yes, I already assigned him a seat.' 'Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck. You can...

Atlanta’s own Neal Boortz has been named a member of the national Radio Hall of Fame.

Well, folks. The figures are out. The latest numbers from the IRS have hit the mean streets --- and guess what? The rich still aren't paying their fair share! Well .. that will be the liberal line, but since you're reading the Nuze YOU are going to know the truth. So here it is .. the latest figures from the year 2007, according to the Tax Foundation. The top 1% of taxpayers officially paid 40.4% of total federal income taxes. This is the highest percentage in modern history. Compare that number to twenty years prior (1987) when the top 1%...

WASHINGTON — Six Texas congressmen are in the middle of a summertime political tempest sweeping the nation's capital over legislation to require future presidential candidates to show birth certificates to prove they are “natural born citizens” of the United States eligible to serve as president.

Man do I get the hate mail when I bring up the subject of Barack Obama's birth certificate. Apparently White House press secretary Robert Gibbs is just as frustrated as I am about this 'birther' crowd. Yesterday he was asked what he thinks it will take to make the birthers go away. He says, "I almost hate to indulge in such an august setting as the White House -- and I mean this in seriousness -- the White House briefing room, discussing the made-up fictional nonsense of whether the president was born in this country ... If I had some...

Isn't that what they're saying in the aftermath of Obama's little slam against the Cambridge, MA police? I'm getting a bit tired of hearing so many self-described experts telling us how this whole Henry Gates incident should bring us all to the table so we can have a dialogue on race. Do we need such a dialogue? Oh hell yes we do. But it just ain't going to happen. In this age of political correctness the only possible direction such a dialogue could take would be a forum on all of the terrible things whites have done to blacks and...
