I've had my issues with RR but there has never been anyone in San Diego that has done as much for the military than he. NEVER has there been any liberal that comes close but of course all liberals do is spend other people's money.
RR is a quality guy and I'm happy he will continue his quest to expose liberals for what they are.

I wonder how many former republican heroes would be liberals by today's definition. Once the tea party moved the line it seems Lincoln, Nixon and even Reagan might have trouble getting elected to congress in a republican district. Cheney said that Reagan proved the debt doesn't mean anything. He couldn't get elected with that. Reagan also said "These are the values inspiring those brave workers in Poland ... They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." --Ronald Reagan, Labor Day Address at Liberty State Park, 1980. He also said "...Let me make one thing plain. I respect the right of workers in the private sector to strike. Indeed, as president of my own union, I led the first strike ever called by that union. I guess I'm maybe the first one to ever hold this office who is a lifetime member of an AFL - CIO union. But we cannot compare labor-management relations in the private sector with government. Government cannot close down the assembly line. It has to provide without interruption the protective services which are government's reason for being..." - President Ronald Reagan. I am pretty sure the tea party would have thrown him out as being a socialist. Teddy Roosevelt said the following about taxing the wealthy A heavy progressive tax upon a very large fortune is in no way such a tax upon thrift or industry as a like would be on a small fortune. No advantage comes either to the country as a whole or to the individuals inheriting the money by permitting the transmission in their entirety of the enormous fortunes which would be affected by such a tax; and as an incident to its function of revenue raising, such a tax would help to preserve a measurable equality of opportunity for the people of the generations growing to manhood. “We have not the slightest sympathy with that socialistic idea which would try to put laziness, thriftlessness and inefficiency on a par with industry, thrift and efficiency; which would strive to break up not merely private property, but what is far more important, the home, the chief prop upon which our whole civilization stands. Such a theory, if ever adopted, would mean the ruin of the entire country–a ruin which would bear heaviest upon the weakest, upon those least able to shift for themselves.
If it is so terrible to be a liberal than my advice to all republicans is to check your thinking daily because it is only a mattee of time before you find yourself on the other side of right. Personally I don't think the continents have drifted as much as republican ideology. We can call it tea-party Pangea.

Personally I don't think the continents have drifted as much as republican ideology. We can call it tea-party Pangea. You are partially correct. Over the years, both parties have been shifting LEFT! Because of the social give away programs that the left keeps buying voters with, the "right" moves over to try to capture some of those votes by supporting those programs. Now we are in debt to ENTITLEMENTS as being one of the biggest expenses in our budget. Local and state governments are suffering from it as well. Wisconsin has made an effort to free itself of that debt less it can't afford law enforcement and emergency personnel. The time has come when the financial conservatives (including blue dog democrats) has had enough and are pulling back trying to keep a sound economy. With the drift going on for so many years, it is one heck of a pull just to slow it down let alone to reverse the economic damage being caused. You mentioned Reagan and if you remember he once was a Democrat. He stated that his party move left and left him behind. Well, there wasn't a vacuum there as the right move right in behind them. It is time to reverse course or we will have more unemployed (counting those who quit looking for work too!) getting benefits than we have workers. No amount of taxes can fix that! Socialism anyone? OH, that would mean putting everyone back to work for nothing but script for food. EDIT: someone edited my statement without comment as to why, so I restored it!

Not sure if pulling part of a sentence out of a paragraph means you missed the context, but for whatever reason you seem to prefer not addressing the point. The party isn't leaving everyone behind, many republicans seem willing to paddle pretty hard to stay ahead of the wave. Look how many times Mitt has had to change his position just to keep up. You could look at the distance you traveled since when you were posting as CM. There is no doubt that some republicans probably approve of the tea party being in charge. Michelle Bachmann may well represent the kind of politician that many republicans have been waiting for. I just wonder how many republicans are going along with the changes because the shift happened so quickly. I wonder if they ever pause to consider what has happened to their party.

I didn’t miss the context, it’s the same blah blah context from four years ago, and you’ve got nothing new or original. You really need to pay attention. You don’t have a clue what the other side thinks. Romney could be a maggot filled turd and that would a million times better than the scum-bag the left worships. Mitt changing positions. What a laugh. You just exposed how naive you are on the issues; BO changes his position in the same speech. Pay attention Larry you might learn something. Posting as CM and now Turk, well Larry, you reap what you sown. Once I had respected your writings and opinions, but that’s history. You really need to climb down from the pedestal you’ve set yourself on, truly Larry, it’s only in your mind.

Tuned into Rick Robert's old time slot this morning, and KFMB now has some new "comedy" team beamed out of Seattle, "Armstrong and Getty". The billboards by the side of the freeway advertise the duo as "fresh and funny". They are neither. It's the usual formula of two guys laughing hysterically at each other's jokes. They might as well have a laugh track.

spectator.org/archives/2013/08/05/am-radio-signing-off"BILL HEYWOOD, a fixture on Phoenix’s AM band since the 1960s, checked into a room at the Scottsdale Homewood Suites with his wife a few days after the 2012 New Year. The inseparable pair checked out shortly thereafter. The disc jockey, morning guy, talk show host, and broadcast jack-of-all-trades consummated a suicide pact with his wife with matching gunshot wounds to the head. After a career that approached the top of the ratings heap across five decades, and boasted interviews with everyone from John Kennedy to Ronald Reagan to Frank Sinatra, the flailing talker had departed the flailing industry in 2005 for a field that looked more promising: real estate. Phoenix homebuyers didn’t see it that way. The bubble, real estate’s and Heywood’s, soon burst. In 2006, a local home section reported that “the Heywoods have succeeded marvelously” in their “redesign and renovation of their cozy villa in the Biltmore neighborhood.” But after downsizing into that “cozy villa,” the bank foreclosed. The bad news didn’t stop there. The couple filed for bankruptcy. Susan Heywood, living with a heart condition at 70, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seventy-five-year-old Bill Heywood loved his wife even more than he loved the microphone. It appeared that he would have neither. So, with professional, financial, and medical problems looming, the couple meticulously planned a nightmare ending to their storybook marriage. They left detailed instructions for their funeral and even a warning courteously posted on the door for the hotel maid. It’s hard not to see Bill Heywood’s demise as a metaphor for the industry that helped make and break him. The talker’s fall wasn’t split-second sudden, but glacial. A single bullet killed him but no simple single-bullet theory can explain his complicated end. AM’s self-inflicted death has been similarly slow, with many causes but only itself to blame. Some say it started on September 30, 1962, when Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense, the last of the radio dramas, signed off. Others point to the emergence of FM, which became the natural migration point for music during the 1970s and for talk and sports over the last decade. Still others blame the web, which provides users a departure from focus group-approved music with the algorithm-approved playlists of Spotify and Pandora, and whose podcasts and Internet radio mimic the talk-radio format." Did Rush and his ilk delay the decline of AM radio or accelerate it? Who under 50 listens to those Boomer blowhards?

I was listening to Rick Robert's old station today, and once again I was appalled at the amount of advertising that goes on. How can people listen to this shiite when there are ten minutes of commercials to two minutes of program? No wonder only old folks listen to this stuff because apparently they have a high tolerance for commercials. Younger people don't seem to put up with it.

I don't have cable anymore I'm making cut backs! Best free TV show is You Tube, and best free Movie apps is Movie Tube ( Sometimes it have few seconds Ads before movie starts no big deal it's better than right in the middle of movies Like Hulu free part too many ads) and Movie planet I believe you can watch movies from phone/tablet that you can connect it to TV with cables Phone/tablet to TV so you can watch movie on your TV

Listened to Rick Robert's old station this morning, and they have a new young guy (30), Mike Slater. He appears to be a full-blown Libertarian (even admires that hack Ayn Rand). I remember listening to all that Libertarian hokum on the radio in the Bay Area in the early 70's. I fell for it for a short time. But it's obviously still being sold and I guess lots (?) of young people are buying it. I do agree with SOME of it.

The Slater guy that speaks like he has a mouth full of marbles and so fast that only dog can understand has been around for many months. 760 does not exits on my radio dial anymore.
