Listen to Boortz weekdays from 8:30am - 1pmSomebodys gotta say it, and the "High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth" is just the guy.
A devout Libertarian, Neal Boortz earns the enmity of both Republicans and Democrats, and the feeling is mutual. But as Neal himself says, If two people agree on everything, one of them isnt necessary."
For 39 years, Boortz, an attorney turned talk host turned New York Times best-selling author, has engaged, enraged, and entertained listeners first in Atlanta and now nationwide for an audience of more than 4 million listeners.
The FairTax The Truth debuted at #4 on The New York Times best-seller list back in February and continues to be a top issue for voters in the 2008 Presidential campaign. It's Neal and Georgia Congressman John Linder's follow up to the FairTax Book which was a number one New York Times best-seller.
Boortz is the standard among Atlanta's talk radio hosts and his ratings show it. He's been on the air since 1969 and on News/Talk 750 WSB since 1993. He's has finished first for 47 straight ratings periods with his 4.5-hour show.
Neal is backed up by Belinda Skelton, Royal Marshall and Cristina Gonzalez. More about Neal Boortz.

What others are saying
- Fair TaxNeal congratulations on the award and getting Rush. Please try to convince El Rushbo on the Fair Tax. He could make it happen.Hope can spend a quality moment talking about it.
- Neal's attitudeI can hardly listen lately. Neal is rude to every caller. What is going on? If I wanted to listen to that I would visit my disfunctional family. I don't want to have to listen to Beck.
- Health Care ReformNeal, you and Herman Cain ( and your likes) completely miss the point on this health care reform.Before you go off on me, I have health care coverage from a good employer. But it is sad that anyone will argue that we need to reform this sector of the economy. Like someone said, healthcare cost largely contributed to the fall of GM.America is becoming uncompetitive when it comes to cost of production because of the stupid manner in which healthcare cost is priced. We have a near-monopoly situation where we are all charged the same price by all providers and the price goes up everytime, regardless of everything else.Heck, we dont even know the price we pay.All I know is that every year,during benefit enrollment, my premium is going up and my copay also goes up.
And please dont give me the hogwash that Republicans have a plan. What have they done in 8 years in office. It is only a mean country that will take the area where people are most vulnerable and turn it into a multi-million dollar business having poor people chose between putting food on the table and paying exorbitant medical bills. There is obviously something wrong where the pay in this sector is completely out of whack with the rest of the economy.Take the technician that takes a 3-month medical training class and immediately commands over $3000 per month. Where else does this happen. And this it true all the way up to the Doctors. Dont get me wrong, I love my Doctor and I think they are doing a great job, but common, give us a break.How about we start with a patient bill of rights that demamd that Doctors post their billing schedule on the wall in their offices. We need to break this black market and put some sanity into the system. - 310 crashI had a falling out with Cessna that ended with me in a deposition for a manufacturing fraud suit involving a 310 that flew into a July 4 crowd in Southern California several years ago. I was a MEL rep for Cessna in the 70's and I flew the 310 for transportation. The FAA issued a directive based on my information and I have a copy. I understand that the Gwinette crash happened shortly after takeoff. If eyewitnesses say that the gear was down and it sounded like an engine faiure occurred, I can probably tell you what happened. They refuse to correct the POH to direct the pilot to secure the emergency gear extension handle prior to takeoff. If not properly stowed, it can rotate when the gear handle is moved "up" and lodge in the left engine fuel selector quadrant causing the left engine fuel selector valve to go to the "off" position and the engine to fail due to fuel starvation, making it impossible to raise the gear. Down she goes. It happened to me and luck is the reason I am the only living eye witness.
I am the guy who sent you and Herman Cain copies of letters I sent to members of congress about why the stock market is not behaving normally and how I became tied into it.
It takes a particular brand of bastard to allow a situation like this to exist. In fact, if a pilot followed the instructions in the POH, he would induce engine failure in more than one circumstance.

770-313-3906 - a loyal listenermr boortz congrelations on your win in the hall of fame i am a 52 yr old black woman i started listening to you in moile in 1989 i like you you help me get through the day as far as i am concern you are right about everything
- NOT Construction WorkersNo, Neal was not down on construction workers. Clearly you missed the point. If was against them, HE WOULD SAY SO & WHY.
That's silly to claim otherwise. His point was, to those who paid attention, is that a person with a given occupation should only have children according to what their means allow them to provide for.
Instead of being picky about "feelings" or "offense" you should spend your time worrying about things that REALLY matter: People who have too many children and WE ALL PAY FOR IT.
I'm tired of paying for lazy, over-breeding, undeducated people living off of the governmnent dime-OUR dime!
I earned the right to my opinion on this, as I grew up around people like that, and I busted my arse to get a good degree for a higher paying job, and I won't have kids until I can provide the right environment. - Re: California Gov. Arnold SchwarzeneggerCalifornia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger responded like that because of the actions of California Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who recently heckled the Governator at a Democratic dinner and, reportedly, told him to kiss my gay ass.
- Construction WorkersNeal keeps going on about the topic being people who cant afford babies,but in the process he was insulting to construction workers.I heard it-he should just admit it .No big deal-admit your mistakes and move on.Lying about it just wrecks his credibility-We all heard it.
- "obscene margin of profit"I would have guessed 10% but not surprised at the actual figures. Thanx for doing the research to provide accurate figures. I just sent an email to Speaker Pelosi, a polite one, mind you. Doubt she will ever see it.
- BelindaBelinda is not very sharp and she has an annoying voice. She should be silent and just do her clerical tasks.
- "peace vs hate" Is HogwashI know what would happen if he did that:
1. People would lose all respect for Neal, as currently he calls people out on the ridiculous fallacy of the current administration.
I notice you cited no facts to back up your post.
Note:
1. Neal doesn't hate anyone, much like most sensible, working Americans he's tired of the nonsense.
Next time, please use facts before labeling someone (reasonably) expressing their opinion as "hate", "racism", or what emotion-based label you choose.
If he's so terrible, why are you listening? :) - peace vs hateWhat do you think would happen if Neal devoted half his time on peace, eliminating crime and bringing America together instead of hating President Obama and the Democrats?
- Health-scare!As an American citizen I believe that this "health-scare" reform bill is BAD for our country and can't believe they would even consider such a thing. They would say because of my medical history as a Kidney transplant pactient I would want this enacted, nothing could further from the truth! In fact they wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them in the face. In fact they are afraid of truth and that's why they (DEM&LIBS)don't want us to listen to you and anyone else in talk radio or T.V. that have a conservative view. We can't even express our opinion, which is our right, or we get called names . Are we so dumb that we can except such behavior! They think we are, and I mad as ****!!!!!I have called my Congressmen several times . What good any of it does we'll never know, but if we do nothing we can't complain we get what's coming to us . I DIDNOT vote for Obama and I wish we could have a new election and see if he would win now! I doubt it very highly. But it's to late!

2010 May Be Too Late!!! - rick sanchezHey nil
Just heard that your buddy, rick sanchez(remember I just luvvvv ric sanchez) was leaving a football game back in the 90's when he was a reporter for some station in Fla. He was drunk and hit a pedestrian with his car and the guy died. I know how you feel about drunk drivers and was curious: do ya still jest luvvv rick sanchez??? This was on limbaugh's program today, I'm sure you heard it. - It isn't just busines MEN!This drives me crazy. I am a small business owner, and I am a WOMAN!
- Gov't Health Care at VA HospitalsIf the American people really want to know how government health care would work, perhaps they should ask some of the soldiers who fought for this county and were willing to die for it, how they have been treated at the VA Hospitals run by the gov't. Look at the Walter Reed fiasco a number of years back. The waiting period to get in to see a doctor can be anywhere from 2 weeks and more. Unless you are brought in by ambulance to emergency, you have to wait. And, once you have an appointment and get there, you still sit around anywhere from 2 hours to 6 after your appointment time. My brother has cancer, is weak, and has to go for chemotherapy. He has to wait 2 to 3 days before he can get an appointment to see a VA doctor, and why? Because he is not ambulatory. My fiance was in a VA hospital years ago, dying, and his last words regarding treatment was "Nobody gives a sh*t." How true today - and this is government health care. The American people have no idea what they are in for as the government can't even take care of our soldiers decently. Why don't you, Neal, ask some VA's to call and give you some of their horror stories, delays, waiting times, and treatment they've gotten at VA Hospitals. It's time another GOOD investigative reporter did an expose again on how the government runs their health care for our soldiers. And, P.S., I'm not saying the doctors are bad, it's the government and all the hoops these doctors have to jump through to take care of our fighting boys.
- Can I Have A Nobel Prize Also?Can I have a Nobel Prize also? I havent' necessarily done anything to promote peace or better the world, but I have lots of "potential."
Just look at all the things I've almost done in the first few weeks... :) - Nobel Peace PrizeWho cares about who wins the ridiculous Nobel Peace Prize. It is no longer relavent to the orginal intent of the prize. It has become a totally useless prize and has lost all credibility since Yassar Arafat and others like him has won the prize. Obama has done nothing but weakened the United States.
- nobel peace prize shameWhat a mockery they have made of the Nobel Peace prize. Currently 72% voted Obama did not deserve this.(see aol.com vote) If he wants to be a great man, he should refuse it as someone else did once, claiming he hasn't earned it. By accepting it he makes a mockery of it himself. 47% currently voted he has done nothing to add peace here or overseas. It is obvious those who voted for him haven't the intelligence of a fifth grader combined. Shame on those who decided he should have it. Maybe after his 4 years in office it would tell more if he deserves it - not now. Shame on Obama for accepting it as well.
- I am rich and love it.I own a shop called Dixie Signs in Pelham, Alabama.
I'm a lifelong Republican, and I opposed health care reform when Bill Clinton proposed it in the nineties. But in the fifteen years since, I've watched the premiums I pay for my employees increase tenfold, and seen our coverage get worse. So now, I'm working hard to make sure we pass real health reform that reins in the rising costs.
But when I talk to my customers and friends, I realize that a lot of folks don't understand the full costs of health care. People who get coverage through their employer may not see that growing costs eat into wages, make it less likely that their boss will hire new workers, or drive some stores and factories into bankruptcy.
Small business owners like you and I know the price we pay for a broken system.
I'm sure you know as well as I do how badly small businesses need Congress to pass real reform. Right now, small businesses pay 18 percent more than larger businesses for the same health insurance plan. And a report from the Business Roundtable released this month determined that if nothing is done, annual health care costs per employee will increase by 166 percent to nearly $29,000 over the next decade. - roger fentonKudo's to Roger Fenton! I started years ago doing the same thing. boortz is a one trick dog and he's worn that out.
- Today's ShowI am a regular listener, but when you start talking about killing unborn children I switch to 640 as I did today.
- Stone Mountain ParkDo you know that the person in the Stone Mountain Incident was a Special Needs Adult that was haveing a Seizure and they delayed treatment in jail. He is now incoherent and could very easily die.
- chicago's businessKinda got teed off this morning. Why are we doing Chicago's begging? And what got me this morning was seeing Michell Obama getting off a presidential plane in Copenhagen, while Barock is still in Washington and will probably, ha willbe using another plane to get there later in the week. Here they go spending taxpayer's money wastefully.
- flaher light and road rageI agree with the lady that commented earlier about being run off the road, etc. I Have experienced the male ego on the road and it ain't pretty or good looking. I have a small car (Galant) but the big boy trucks defenitely overpower my car. Don't get me wrong my car has get up and go but it can't do a crash derby with a big truck (Dodge, Ford, Chevy 1.5 tons). These guys think they are the only ones that need to be on the road and they show it by reving up and flooring it at a red light when it turns green, changing lanes just barely missing your car's front end or like it was said earlier moving over on your lane pushing you into the ditch or whever you may wind up, while they are blowing their engines dust out with their steel balls hanging off the trailer hitch. What message is that supposed to send anyway, I don't know execpt to think that they want to brag about what is between their legs and of course where their brain is.
I wish to tell the fellas that showing balls doesn't impress me, blowing out their pipes out doesn't and any female that would go along with it (girlfriends, old ladies, partners) is in the same box as these above described. - FEMAWith all the commotion after Katrina on the government's delay in getting FEMA into New Orleans, why is not much being said about 17 counties in Georgia not yet being declared a disaster area? Any ideas? -now that's a stupid question
- Flashers? Yes, but for emergencyKim, flashers are generally intended for use in an emergency or when you're stranded.
Why not use your parking lights and/or headlights when its raining, as intended?
I have never run you off of the road, and I'm a man. Please refrain from saying "men" run innocent women off of the road, which is not true, clearly. - Flashers while drivingNeil,
I'm female and do not use my flashers while driving unless I have an emergency. But in defense of women, the reason they do it is because they are courteous. Men are not courteous. They would rather speed up so you can't merge into the lane ahead of them and run you off the road while you are driving your Mother to an appointment. Men tailgate, run red lights, speed, and are aggressive. No, men don't drive with their flashers when it is raining. They are just the ones running innocent women off the road. - ROCKDALE TEA PARTY sat, oct 3, 2009Picketing on hwy 138 next to Taco Bell from 10am to 1pm then on to the main event To be held @ Whistlepost Tavern in old town Conyers, GA from 2pm to 7pm with patriotic speakers, live music, video presentations, food and fun!

- RacismThe Liberals have been operating using Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals for years. When they are losing an argument they revert to his rules of power tactics "13 # Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." . It doesn't matter how much evidence you may have to support your views, they will scream RACIST. It has worked in the past, but that card is worn out. Now, because I am a Conservative that supports the US Constitution you want to call me a racist, my reply is: Yea I like NASCAR. (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ) A play on words.
- The fearful crisis real Americans don't panicThe Republican bank party must be put down, this is a struggle to maintain government of for and by the people against the most heartless of all aristocracy, that of money. Big money power today lives with a wrong, profits from it, and actively protects it. The almighty right wing nut talk propaganda machine, on behalf of the rich ruling elite, has a degree of influence and power dangerous to the liberties of the people and fatal to the constitution of their choice. The PACs, the lobbyists in Washington, the special interest elite control the levers of power and airwaves to favor the wealth class, perverting the system into a permanent electioneering engine.
The issue is whether the people are to govern with the vast approval for health care reform including single payer, or whether the money and power of the great influence peddlers and giant insurance and drug corporations are to exert to influence over the peoples judgment and control their decisions. Are we to bow to the golden calf and be obedient and obsequious to the Wall Street Barons and uber capitalists and their mainstream media talk host apologists?
The conservative parties of movers and shakers and wealthy connected influence peddlers own the RNC and talk show hosts, making an aristocratic institution more interested in self-perpetuation than the good of the country. They do not look after the little fellow who has no pull, the ordinary the unconnected. As Old Hickory, Andrew Jackson said the mass of people have more to fear from combinations of wealthy and elite professional classes and lobbies, from an aristocracy which through the influence of riches and talents, insidiously employed effect sinister influences in the name of free markets and working people
As the hero of the battle of New Orleans said: Its to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes against the aspiring masses. The goal of government should be to better the lives of the many, not reward the few. It is one of the dangers of mammoth money power that control the talk waves of the media and the legal bribes in DC. As founding father President Jackson, a southerner argued, an end to privilege would mark the beginning of a truly democratic era in our republic. Government should, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. - web sitei would say your new player on this site looks better than this country right now.
- Comparing two subjectIt is called an analogy. "P is to Q, as X is to Y"
- Who would Jesus screw for a profit?I demand and I dare any Senator or Congressmen who votes against health care reform to give up the taxpayer supported insurance they have that we pay for, if its not good enough for us its bad for them. Give up your heath insurance congressmen; its a government run plan. Tax dollars pay for it. Thats our money taken by force to cover you. If you dont think its good enough for you, then drop it and go out in the market place and find and pay for your own out of your salary. But if you keep it, then offer it as a choice option for the rest of us.

- Yes, You Are RightYes you are right-not many radio stations are worth bothering with any more-but I really can respect WSB Radio and they have a pretty good variety of shows.
Also they have the very interesting Michael Savage on at night, although too late, but very thought provoking & he provides a wake-up call.
The only thing I don't like about WSB Radio is Belinda. She comes across as a cold, cynical, and bitchy woman who's got dollar signs in her eyes. Can't believe a man was actually willing to MARRY that woman. Ooooofff! - Governmental Depression is Our Lesson Governmental Depression How can I live in these street,when the government only took off their Multi- colored sheets.Black,white,red,and brown;on this governmental tree,can be found.Left hanging and in a world of mess;when these laws their making cause our country to stress. Every time I see this bull stuff on T.V. A family of four,found dead in a car.Carbon monoxide poisoning; they fired this father from his governmental job. Could not get help or find another job , thought about food stamps or a bank he could rob. But in the end struggling to feed his lot; went postal in the mail room and killed his family in their car. This stuffs driving me insane, leaving mental and emotional scars.Gas is on the rise, and fall on your dime thats called price gouging; a way to steal it and be kind. Fighting a war we just can't win, in a place called Iraq; our kids going off to fight, but never coming back again. Sent back in a casket draped with stars and stripes ,purple metal no honor our child's life, the price. Politicians making promises, they know they will not keep, living high off our hog; Pork barrel spending to me. Campaign seeds of deception being spit at our feet, voting crooks into every state and government seat. From the con men in congress to, the Pimps in senate seats. Supreme court just-us, passing laws against just-you-and me. Mayor's embezzling funds that were meant for the homeless. Judges lying on the benches; buying condo's with your bonus.Get a ticket if you picket about whats suppose to be your rights; three strike laws get you a "L" for life. Is this truly the land of free or Americas of Governmental disease. Police setting traps and the D.A make case's, they're washing each other hands and feeding each others faces. Drugs violence in hood, to a epidemic level; poor people suffering like hell, havent got two nickels to rub together. Ghetto life made so popular and totally grand; shoot'em up kill them all till, the last man stands. Chasing dollars makes no cents, because you have to pay the tax; left with two pennies from a dollar, cant support a family on that. Taxes for your groceries,auto, life and health; can't get away from them cause they even tax you in death. Recession and depression, foreclosure week to week; so how can you paid your mortgage when you cant buy food to eat. Governmental crumbs, a sandwich it don't make; get these folks out of office before they steal your BUTT CAKES. The Government in hanging us Up and out to die as a country. Vote Fare tax,the above reason are why . Lets get the America I grew up in; Back.!!!!
- Cox EnterprisesHas anyone ever thought that Cox Enterprises the owner of WSB AM radio has taken a very courageous position on the content broadcast on these personalities shows? Just today Clark Howard blasted Bank of America. He tore then apart. Yes the facts of the story were verified. But it will be a long time before that bank will have a spot on WSB. I just think WSB has earned the trust of its listeners by allowing this kind of latitude. It might not make for a good bottom line but it does buy the Loyalty of a large and fast growing number of people like me. I hope this kind of corporate courage continues. I just want everyone to know there is a cost. Lets hope this kind of policy is publically acknowledged and encouraged!
- Neal BoortzI don't believe Neal has ever been commented on his looks; he has a stunning resemblemce to Gene Hackman. I am male and not gay ("not that there is anything wrong with that")! I think the ultimate tea party/town hall meeting would be Neal and Herman standing together!!! A MOMENT IN HISTORY THAT WOULD NOT SOON BE FORGOTTEN!!!
- Control Healthcare CostsA method to control healthcare costs that no one has mentioned is to set up a medical public service commission (PSC). Works great to keep utility bills reasonable. Why not healthcare costs? A medical PSC would make all healthcare providers justify their charges. This would roll-back the cost of healthcare. Each state would have their own PSC. No need for a single payer national system then and rates would be fair. PSC would set rates for each medical charge code used by the medical profession to bill the insurance companies. All insurance companies would pay the same for medical care as set by the PSC. This would increase competition between the insurance companies since they pay the same rates and the rates would be held to inflation by the PSC. Seems to me to be the obvious solution to our run away healthcare costs.
- CURRENT MEDICAID SYSTEMIF WE WERE ABLE TO ELIMINATE THE AMOUNT OF MEDICAID FRAUD NOT MEDICARE,(ALTHOUGH IT WOULDNT HURT TO ATTACK THAT TOO.)I HAVEING WORKED IN EMERGENCY CARE FOR THE LAST TWENTY YEARS YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF MEDICAID FRAUD THAT GOES ON AND I DONT MEAN BY THE ESTABLISHMENT I AM TALKING ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL THE PEOPLE WHO GET MEDICAID FOR JUST SAYING THEY DONT KNOW WHERE THE BABY DADDY IS, IS UNBELIEVEABLE AND THEN INSTEAD OF GOING TO THEIR REGULAR DR. FOR ROUTINE AND UNEMERGENT THINGS THEY WANT THEIR FREE RIDE IN AN AMBULANCE BECAUSE THEY BROKE THEIR TOE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN THEY WERE DRUNK LAST NIGHT A TRIP LIKE THAT TO THE ER. FORM THE AMBULANCE RIDE TO THE PHYSICIAN IN THE ER ,WITHOUT EXAGERATING COSTS APROX $3,000 THAT NOW WE AS TAX PAYERS PICK UP JUST BECAUSE THE WOMAN SID SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHERE HER BABY DADDY IS AND MORE THAN 75% OF THE TIME HE IS LIVING RIGHT THERE AT THEIR HOUSE. NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE NOT TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE AND BE HIT WITH HUGE MEDICAL BILLS BUT I WORK FOR A LIVING AND DID NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID BECAUSE I MADE TO MUCH MONEY UNFORTUNATLY I DIDNOT MAKE ENOUGH TO BUY MY OWN INSURANCE POLICY BECAUSE INSURANCE CO. WANT TO CHARGE OUTLANDISH FEES FOR A ROUTINE POLICY SO I DO AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW BOT DOING IT THIS WAY TO WHERE THE PRIVATE INSURANCE CO. HAVE TO COMPETE WITH A NONPROFIT GOVERNMENT POLICY IS NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WILL PUT THE PRIVATE CO. OUT OF BUSINESS & THAT IN IT SELF WILL HAVE A HUGE EFFECT ON OUR ECONOMY AS A WHOLE WE MUST FIND ANOTHER WAY OF DOING THIS BUT IT DOES NEED TO BE DONE TO KEEP THE PRIVATE CO. IN CHECK AND OFFER AFFORDALE REALISTIC COVERAGE TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES.
- I like the wasteful rationing system that skyrockets costs we have nowThe Bushcare type system weve had for decades costs close to 17% of our GDP, in countries with Obamacare the figure is only 8-10% yet everyone has insurance and the outcome of care is equal or better than ours. We are threatened by runaway medical inflation that saps private-sector profits. The cost burden of our current unchristian system has flat-lined real wages for the middle class and is a burden to small business and large corporations alike creating a competitive disadvantage. As the owner for a small business enterprise I know. 15 years ago 60% of small business covered their workers with insurance now its only 38% because we can not afford the current system even though we want to do so.
The percentage of our GDP taken by the current health care system is growing exponentially even as more workers lose their jobs and or their insurance coverage under the current broken system cons want to keep because it keeps the few rich and powerful at the expense of the many middle class and working class, and as they scare us into protecting their profit interests against our own self interest they win we lose to the slavocracy.
The ruling elite wants to keep you down by hoaxing you into fighting their battle for keeping things as they are now. Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Richard Nixon all favored an end to our anachronistic workplace employer-based health insurance, which threatens you with medical poverty at the roll of the wheel of misfortune. If you or a loved one has not experienced more than a routine broken bone or cold and flu you have not met our real system. If you have not YET faced medical bills without a job or without insurance or after your insurance ran out, you have not met Bushcare. Unchecked health care spending now is depressing take-home pay, costing jobs, squeezing federal state and local governments and driving up taxes and budget deficits. The current system is a burden upon capitalism killing entrepreneurship big and small. - I've got mine F-UWe cannot logically argue this equals the best health care system in the world. Emotionally yes, logically no. It remains excellent only at the high end, which is becoming increasingly out of reach for the average worker. If we do not reform the current system we will pay more and more and get less and less. But the multi-millionaire talk show media types will not suffer our fate so they have no reason to tell you the truth, their system works for them.
The same old special interests and their lobbyist agents and talk show mouthpieces make the same old arguments and use the same old scare tactics and lies that stopped reform before because they profit from the relentless escalation in costs of care and insurance to you, me, and our employers dooming us all. The side of concentrated wealth as weve seen with big banks and the financiers of Wall Street is working against this and against you. RUIN in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph of a sordid and selfish materialism instead of basic human Christian decency. But maybe were not a Christian nation, right Hannity, Rush, Beck, et. al. - Highest Unemployment States (Union) Highest Poverty States (Non- Union)Case in point where Neal and the other WSB personalities cherry pick the facts. neal rails on and on of how the states with higher union participation are the highest in unemployment. Please explain the statistic below away which shows that the states he brags about having lower unemployment lead the nation in poverty levels. Could it be the pathetic low wages that the workers of these states are being paid? State Rate

- Global mixupSome say global cooling; others say global warming. Some birds are moving to Canada to nest. Polar bears who depend on expanses of ice where seals pop up at holes to breathe, where the bears then swat the seals for food, their only source of food, are dying by drowning, food shortage, and underweight pregnancy failures. Ice dens are collapsing. Invasive plants like Chinese tallow are growing farther north. Dengue fever-carrying mosquitoes from the tropics have been found in 28 U.S. states. Warmer temperatures, drier seasons are the causes. The Arctic ice has shrunk to a tiny portion of what it was. Greenland is melting. Is this global cooling? The question in Cap and Trade seems to be that because the sun seems to be responsible for 99% of the warming, why should the economy in the U.S. slide further downhill due to harsh demands on industries to clean their emissions? Clean air is easier to breathe and causes fewer diseases. Clean water is more healthful to drink. China might be building a new coal-fired plant every day or so, I'm not sure. Their air is orange and people wear gas masks. Sometimes their air blows across the ocean to Nevada and chokes people there. The entire world should switch to cleaner energy sources as soon as possible. Large industries should not be allowed to force private inventors to sell their alternative energy inventions and the government agencies should not be allowed to confiscate these inventions. The electricity grid requires a certain baseline steady flow of electricity with a dependable source to function at all so dependency on coal and oil and nuclear power will remain for a long time. Individual homes and businesses need to switch to private energy sources and put excess power back into the grid during peak demands. Our brainpower from the youth is diminishing by society's low expectations of schools and families which no longer inspire and motivate excellence and creativity. Will America fall by the wayside?
- CAP and TAXAs I understand it The Cap and Tax bill allocated the carbon quotas to existing companys to use, sell, or trade. If thats the case, did GM and thus the UAW get quotas for all the closed GM plants? As example did they get a offset credit for the Doraville plant and all the others. If so does that mean that if Toyota wanted to build a plant in the US in say a right to work state would they have to get the OK and offsets from the goons over at the UAW? Fat chance !
- Michael JacksonNeal you hit the button right on the head about the bleach pedofile.... He is gone great music and good bye thank you for leaving us in a timely manner I say yep
- Michael JacksonNeal is correct with his assessment of Michael Jackson. Michael was a sorry, pathetic, lost person. Because of his own narcissism, he ended up bringing about his own demise. He led an immoral, self-centered, irresponsible life and simply because he could entertain folks during part of his life, was and is absolutely deified by the foolish. How sorry our nation has become when individuals like Michael Jackson are the ones uplifted, revered and elevated to god-like status. Wrong is right and right is wrong today. While it is sad Michael died young and fans and family have the right to mourn, he did it to himself and his life does not deserve the honor and all the hoopla that he's getting in the media.
- Micheal JacksonI can't believe you wasted you breath on that child rapist.
- Michael JacksonMy god people the Jackson joke was just that, a joke. I'm pretty sure Jackson doesnt care right now. It wasnt created by Neal, it is a popularly circulated joke. Lighten up. He had a great life and all that and he liked little kids in ways that most found unhealthy, but hey at least this way he can always bring joy to little kids.
- Cap and TradePart of Sarbanes-Oxley is a requirement that corporate management sign they agree with the entire financial report. What about having a new rule that Congressment and Senators be required to sign a document that they have read the legislation they are voting on? And include a penalty if they are found not to have done so.
- Michael JacksonCorrection -
I feel for you Neal, and I sincerely wish you the best, which is much MORE than what you probably wish for me and other people. - Michael JacksonI listened to the Neal Boortz show today, and let me tell you, that did it for me.
I know that you say that you're insensitive, but the Michael Jackson comment was too far. I believe you said something to that fact that they needed to send his body to the recycling center for them to turn it into plastic and be made into a toy so that children can play with it. The man has died and has left a legacy for all the world to share.
Sure he had his faults, we all do. But to go as far as that was cruel. Put yourself in his shoes (God forbid). You wouldn't want him to say that about you, but I guess it doesn't matter to you.
I was a longtime listener to your show. And now, I' considering listening to something else between 8:30 AM - 1 PM. I'm knocking down on you, think you're good. But that comment was unnecessary.
Is WSB Radio condoning those comments Neal made on his show about Michael Jackson this morning? If so, what and if there will be any consequences? If not, I think they need to. This is no different than when Don Imus made the comment to the Rutgers women's basketball team or when David Letterman made the comment about Sarah Palin's daughter. I feel that as a radio journalist, you must be held accountable of what you say. The saying goes: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Believe me, you're better off that way. - Michael JacksonNeal Boortz, your wicked comments about Michael Jackson must be addressed. He was not perfect, he had his sins, but he's now gone. Most people have chosen to remember his extreme goodness, but you have chosen to vilify him in death, your prerogative of course. A wise Teacher once said "let he who has no sin cast the first stone". Neal, you have your right to cast stones, but fortunately your voice is being drowned out by the love and goodwill of people across the world who are greatly saddened by this unfortunate event.
What continues to puzzle me, however, is how certain people are able make it their life's work to wake up everyday, use a microphone and broadcast hate and animosity to the world. Where does such massively negative energy come from? I do not envy you, Neal, because despite external appearances, you and I know you are miserable deep inside due to decades of hate mongering. I feel for you, and I sincerely wish you the best, which is probably much less than what you wish for me and other people. - BBQ BrisketI love it and the only place that has any thing close to Texas BBQ Bisket is Bubba Q Restuarants in Jasper and new one in Woodstock.
- CocoDear Neal,
Just heard about Coco. I am so, so very sorry! The reason a dog is man's best friend is because he does not pretend, he proves it. The best medicine for the heartbreak of the lost of your good friend is to run, don't walk and get another one. Won't replace Coco, but a new love will enter yourlife. We're on our third Lab. This one is a great Therapy Dog - we visit hospitals, nursing homes, preschools, foster homes and my personal favorite, special ed classes. We have logged over 250 visits and it's the most rewarding volunteer work I have ever done. Donna would love it!

If you or Donna would like any info, please feel free to contact me at Pank24@aol.com or 770-844-8447 - Energy and Security ActYou won't be shocked when you look at Congressman John Lewis'(GA) web site and search for H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. You won't find anything informing his constituents about how a large portion of their annual salary will be confiscated by this bill but you will get to read Lewis' statement about the Supreme Court's decision on voter rights.
How can Rep. Lewis turn his back on his constituents who spend a much larger portion of their income on energy costs than a wealthy person? What does he get for his support for blatant robbery of our pocketbooks? - 50 year old marineNeal, where were you educated?

Paraphrased from South Park on You-Tube:
In the beginning, we were all fish swimming around in the water & then one day a couple of them had a RETARD baby, and the RETARD baby was different so it got to live. So RETARD fish goes on to make more RETARD babies & then one day a RETARD baby fish crawls out of the ocean with its MUTANT fish-hands & it had (relations) with a squirrel or something & it had this - a RETARD frog-squirrel. And that had a RETARD baby that was a monkey-fish-frog & then this monkey-fish-frog had relations with that monkey & that monkey had a MUTANT RETARD baby that had relations with that monkey and that made YOU! So there you go! You're the RETARDED off-spring of 5 monkeys having (relations) with a fish-squirrel! CONGRATULATIONS! - Penalties on Health InsuranceNeal, it is absurd and unjust for the Government to impose penalties for not enrolling in Government Programs and block a citizen's access to Health Insurance. Due to penalties I cannot afford Medicare Part B and by law private companies cannot insure me. This is Elder Abuse by the Federal Government and threatens my independence, well-being and financial security. There are little understood harmful aspects in Government Programs which the people, and Lawmakers themselves, are unaware. This is one of them and there should not be any penalties imposed in new Legislation under consideration. Government Programs strip people of their freedom. Americans need to take care of themselves and not be "sheeple" as the Russian newspaper Pravda refers to us. I think it is unconstitutional for Government to penalize citizens for not enrolling in Government Programs. Our Government is supposed to be of the people by the people and for the people not for the Government.
- Penalties for not enrolling in Government programs.It is draconian for the Federal Government to impose penalties on people for not enrolling in Medicare Part B when first eligible. Because of this I cannot afford Medicare Part B and even worse private health insurance companies cannot insure me since if you are eligible for Medicare Part B after 65, Medicare is the primary payer. This is Elder Abuse by the Federal Government depriving me of independence, well-being and financial security. This is the opposite of Government of the people by the people and for the people. It is Government against the people's freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There are many detrimental aspects of legislation not understood by the populace, or in this case the Lawmakers themselves. There should not be any penalties imposed in new health care legislation under consideration, it is unjust and onerous. Americans must stop being "sheeple", as the Russian newspaper Pravda refers to us, and take care of ourselves or else all is lost.

- Gov't Motors Cars and TrucksOnce upon a time (last month), I considered buying a Tahoe. I will not buy a GM vehicle until the taxpayer owns 0% of the company and UAW is out of the picture. Support American Workers! Buy American! Buy Toyota!
- Chrysler / UAWWell, it is the UAWs fault. The UAWs rates and wages are higher that those of the workers of foreign auto makers. Oh! You must be a UAW member. Sorry!

- US Sales Tax Gets a Fresh LookFrom a Washington Post Article today: With budget deficits soaring and President Obama pushing a trillion-dollar-plus expansion of health coverage, some Washington policymakers are taking a fresh look at a money-making idea long considered politically taboo: a national sales tax.
- listen liveI don't have a comment, other than I have loved your show since I worked in Atl in the early '90's.FYI( Netdog?), there's a glitch with the "listen live" button on your site. You're delayed in this verscheissen market (Tampa), so I stream the show. I've had to go to WSB's site to listen the past couple of days.LYLT
- IggyDad's invalid proof that Niel is a liarIggyDad's message stated that Niel is a liar because there were 100 million tax returns filed last year that covered 240 million people. This is supposed to prove that most people (or at least most families) pay taxes. IggyDad makes an invalid assumption. He assumes everyone that files a return payes taxes. Three of those returns were from my two teenage sons and me. I'm the only one that paid taxes. Filing a return only means that you had reported income. It doesn't mean you paid income taxes.
- CHURCHES TAXESNEAL I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A STAB AT ANSWERING THE CHURCH TAX QUESTION WHEN IT COMES TO HAVEING PUBLIC SERVICE PROTECTION.. lAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE DEPT. SHOULD BE ALBLE TO LEAVE A BILL AT THE SCENE AND GET PAYMENT THAT WAY IF PEOPLE DONT LIKE THE TAX TERM.
THANKS - A Cogent Argument to Tax ChurchesYou would call me a fundamentalist Christian because I believe the Bible has no errors and is the final arbiter in all moral and civil decisions, nevertheless, I believe churches and "non-profit" organizations should pay property taxes for such things like police and fire protection. Christians and Jews have no biblical defense for avoiding taxes. (These biblical arguments I am sure you are not interested in and, much to your pleasure, I will not present them.)
Our church has a food bank and gives away food to many who might otherwise go to government agencies for such help. Likewise, other churches and non-profits help meet tremendous needs. Even though taxing them might inhibit or burden their work if their work is truly of God it will survive and thrive. It is my observation that many non-profits and churches abuse their tax advantage and taxing them might very well purify them.
I hate paying taxes but I believe what belongs to God belongs to God and what belongs to Caesar belongs to Caesar. I believe that if a civil authority wants to tax for police and fire services then churches must "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar." - Boortz's credibilityDoes it bother Boort's listenders that he makes grossly false and misleading statements on the air, then bullies and shuts of anyine who dares to challenge him with the facts. His latest Lie, and it is a lie, because he certainly knows better, is that most people in this country don't pay taxes, and that only a few of us are supporting millions of parasites. False. Just go to the IRS website. Over 100 Million people paid net income income tax last year, and counting their dependents that was over 250 million people. There are only 300 million in the U.S. Is he complaining that babies aren't carryng their far share? Or just more Boortz b.s.?

- The Obama Fornication Promotiom ProgramNeal, I just heard you give your resounding support for the Obama Fornication Promotion Program. You Neal are the problem, not the solution to what America has been expirencing for many, many years.

- Quote on todays showAnyone remember the Bumper sticker he read out loud?
It went something like this, something about hope. How do you like your change now? - More on ATL budget cut showShirley's response to budget problems in ATL has been 1- Beg the feds for $$$$ 2- Cut Police & Fire Protection. 3- Raise taxes. Maybe your listeners (some working for and with city government) can suggest other ways to balance the budget. Make it a condition all the ideas must save over $100k, not affect the little guys, and not be the above three tried methods.
- Make a show about how to cut ATL budgetMake a show asking for ways to balance the ATL budget. The other day you said they should lease Hartsfield to a private company to make a profit.They could cut the number of City Council members. Per population we have more than NY city. Have they sold or leased the old ATL airport land? How about stop giving employee benefits to "employee's partners"? How about giving contracts to the best qualified bid instead of requiring female or certain race owners only?
- The President's Wed. Night speechI counted that President Obama said either "um" or "uh" 448 times!! And people say that Bush couldn't speak.
- NY City Fly Over OP on 4/27/09What the hell is wrong with these people?? Have the people in the While House absolutely lost their minds? Then when they see how much they screwed up, they say the president didn't know anything about it. I'm wondering if the "president" knows anything about anything. It seems to be subjective. This is crazy!!

- Keep up the GOOD Truthful Work! We are all listening to you and appreciate that you have a VOICE and GUTS to say what you think! P.S. .... Rick Sanchez has got nothing on you... His job is to sit on "No-News TV" and look pretty and smart... NOT to give you the actual news. He can care less what he saying.. He is reading the prompter. He Gets his paycheck and goes home. His work is pre-arranged for him when he gets there the next day by the interns at the network. Neal represents himself, therefore I have no doubt he speaks what HE prepares and thinks. You can't even compare the two.
We SUPPORT FREE SPEECH NEAL!!! - CNN Rick SanchezAmen Randy Bailey! I was thinking the same thing. Neal had the perfect opportunity to point out that idiot reporter on TV and did not. I was even going to cut out of work early just to see Neal give him "what for", but he wimped out. "High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth" YEAH WHAT EVER!!

Do some research before you bash people who are busting their ass to save yours when you need it!
- cnnjust heard your lame, pathetic excuse as to why you won't do cnn. " I just LOVE rick sanchez". Good God, why don't you just admit you don't have the balls it takes to ask him the question? You go on and on and on about this twit, which I happen to agree with you on, it was completely biased and tongue wrestling with obama, and was sickening. You had the perfect opportunity to stand up for the people who don't have the bully pulpit as you do and raise hell about this complete lack of journalistic scruples and you wussed out. Disapointed in you, no, it's just par for the course. Lot of wind, no damage.I'm sure you'll correct the spelling, sentence structure instead of the content of the meddage.

- Neal's defense of AIG bonusesLast week I was startled and saddened by Neal's defense of AIG bonuses. He has always railed against welfare queens. Well, AIG is on the dole now, and these executives getting huge bonuses are welfare queens to the nth degree. GET a grip Neal.
- Jamie DupreeBoortz, you have all morning to rant and talk about stupid things like poisonous spiders, but we listeners only have a few minutes to hear Jamie Dupree, one of the best political analysts in the country. Let him talk.
- AIG...let's move onDo we really need to spend another day having the same dialogue about the AIG bonuses?! Neal has made his point why they're legal and necessary. Taypaying listeners who didn't get their bonuses this year have made their point why it's not "right". This should be a lesson for all of us to be more involved in elections...now let's move on.
- 500 Kwhat happens if you win the lottery, do you just get 500k after all you don't need more than that, so let's just give the good old dems the rest to spread their wealth, haha
- 500K/yr: scaryIt scares me that the government, notice I didn't say our government, not only believes it has that much power but de facto has been granted that much power.
- neal, neal, neal....political beliefs aside...it is extremely hard if not impossible to justify the bonuses. Our money paid their bonuses. horrible. I agree with GARY....limit pay now. Once company has "turned around" and govt paid back.....incentivize the hell out the employees who dug AIG out.
- taxesyou keep refering to the top x pays so much in taxes. guess what income is based on oh yeah INCOME not population.so if yo make gee more income you pay more in taxes. wow what a concept. what % of INCOME do these people make i think th etop 10% make like 95 % of the inciome and pay 75% of the taxes....and that fair riiight...
- fair tax1) the rate is 30% on goods or a 23% inclusive both are the SAME mathematically.if oyu keep saying its not,your a liar.
2) income ,medicaid and half off ss are NOT embedded taxes. they are pay that you pay to taxes.ie if i make 2000 a week and those taxes are gone then guess what i make 2000 a week STILL. the only way to say your going to lower prices is if the companies then say well we GAVE you that moeny to pay your taxes and then take it back.ie they cut your pay by thata amount. which is the WHOLE idea of the fair tax. an across the board PAY cut for us W-2 workers NOT 1099 like neal. - AIGNeal, I've always known you to do a good job of "spreading the manure all over the yard!" Not just in certain places. I was very disappointed today listening to you defend the bad behavior of the AIG executives. If they were S.A.B.B.'s rather than S.A.W.B.'s like yourself, there is no way you would NOT be spreading the crap all over what they have done! I'm not even a college grad. I'm not a S.A.B.G., but I have enough common sense to know that you DO NOT REWARD POOR PERFORMANCE. Further to that, if they are "all that," if they are truely million dollar talent, why the H. is the company in the condition that it is in? I expect better of you in the future Neal. If it were your company, surely, you would not be paying them bonuses for doing a poor job. You probably would have fired their A. by now. (DON'T LET ME HAVE TO TAKE OFF FROM MY JOB, CALL UP THERE AND STRAIGHTEN YOU AROUND MR.!) ct
- Corporate bonuses#1 Neal says Obama wants to wreck private enterprise....I say private enterprise wrecked themselves,and then put their hands out for help
#2 Neal says these companies can't attract quality people with govt. mandated pay and no bonuses...I say these companies didn't have quality people or they wouldn't be in the mess they're in
#3 Why don't these companies that recieve TARP monies and have to abide by pay limits and no bonuses for execs try this?...Hire Joe Blow the turnaround Shmoe and his handpicked team, tell Joe that if he and his team can survive on a half million a year maximum until they turn this thing around and pay back the govt.(when TARP is repaid the govt. no longer has a voice in exec pay) The company agrees that at that time they will reward Joe and team with many millions in bonuses. Joe and team have incentive to hang in there and get the job done...taxpayers are repaid without having to fund lavish bonuses. Everyone wins. - PLedge of AllegianceAs I recall my history (a sure sign I will never be a government leader), there was a time in the 20th Century that soldiers were required to take an oath of allegiance to their leader (normally the oath would be to serve their country). Guess what leader they had to pledge their allegiance to?
- controlling personalitiesThose personalities cross gender lines. My 20 year old son is totally controlled by his girlfriend of 2 years. He hasn't spoken to his twin brother or his older sister in over a year, doesn't attend family functions and barely to speaks to me....I suspect only does to keep my monthly stipend money coming. (He's in school full time & works part time.) It's so sad, and I don't really know what to do......
- Ireland Corporate Tx talk - Bogus* I am a small Biz owner.

* But Ireland Corp. tax talk is Bogus.
* Ireland doesn't have ambitions as USA does.
* We want to reach for the stars, so we have NASA to fund.
* Ireland doesn't have $800 Billion Milatary Budget as USA does.
* Ireland is flexible because it's a tiny country relative to the US and its population.
* Apples-2-Apples please! Ireland is a country of Boozers.

I suggest Neal take a look at the Seattle areas record on Police Brutality. There record is deplorable second probably only to LA.
I would suggest that Anti police brutality would be a good cause for Boortz to take up. - Another $410 Billion spending bill?Are you kidding me? Drudge reports this am that Nancy and the Dems are getting ready to submit another $410B spending bill, which is completely loaded in more "pet projects". Just where will it end with these guys!

- Santelli and Boortz Rant on Morgtgage "Bailout"Church of the painful truth? Hardly. You seem to be very SELECTIVE with it, at any rate. Santelli's rant, and yours for that matter, is a waste of time and dishonest. How dare you cast aspersions on so many people having mortgage troubles as if said people were supposed to have had crystal balls to foresee that 2008 - 2009 would bring an increase in their food bill, their gas (auto) bill, their heating, energy, and water bills, and that their income would decrease due to a nationwide joblessness issue? On one hand, you acknowledge the detrimental factors having an effect on the economy, but on the other hand you just will not apply these SAME detrimental factors to your foul commentary about people in trouble with their mortgages. We are NOT lowlife bottomdweller losers! How dare we aspire to homeownership and take out mortgages prior to the financial troubles of 2008? We're LIARS? We tricked the mortgage lender?! Oh, yeah, that makes MUCH more sense than to apply the REAL conditions and factors hitting our pocket books. I guess it's just something that people with multiple homes, boats, and airplanes just wouldn't understand about us low-lifes. For MOST of us, a NATIONWIDE INCREASE in bills and a NATIONWIDE DECREASE in household income is going to require some juggling and tightrope walking, and some just are not going to make it. That's one thing, and it is devastating enough on its own WITHOUT a NATIONWIDE attack from SNOBS in the Capitol and the wannabees in the burbs. Talk about class warfare! It's being initiated and declared with irrational, illogical rants and insults spewed by the likes of Santelli and Neal Boortz!
- Belinda's eye clinic addPlease rewrite the add and have Belinda speak as if she's recommending the company NOT working there. It's false advertising. Some people are going to go there and expect to see her at the front desk of the business. It's very irritating when you hear this add 20 times a morning.
- 3 MILLION STIMULUS JOBSIsn't it probable that most of the contsuction jobs will be taken by another wave of illegal immigration from Mexico and all our tax money will be wired back there? How can this help the US economy.

- I want to listen more....but Neal is just relentlessly focused on people he disagrees with and can disrespect. Does anyone have an arguement that Neal can not agree with that he can also be respectful of? This relentless need to call folks stupid, ugly, and other names/labels just drags me down. I learn a lot from Neal but really, if there were no Jamie Dupree I would be hard pressed to come back and listen and try to learn. Many of us have perfectly valid viewpoints that aren't Neal's typical all or nothing thinking and we aren't stupid. It just isn't entertaining for this listener.

- Where is the American Pride? What has happened to living the dream?I have only been a citizen of this wonderful country for 3 years, but have lived here for 18 years.
I have also had the incredible chance to work for American companies overseas; taking new products to Asia, Europe and Latin America. I now understand many more cultures and wonder
How in the world the USA goes from being on the top as a developed country to a sunken ship in 2 decades?
Reasons I see as contributing factors besides American apathy:
1. Being Politically Correct;
2. Americans became followers versus leaders;
3. Litigation removed the power of people to stand for what they believe;
4. Government manages your destiny without your best interest as a driver;
5. Illegal immigrants get free range of the education and medical systems while Valuable and Contributing ones wait 3 to 7 years to get an immigration visa and pay at least $2K to do so.
Common Sense and accountability went out the window. Boortz and a handful of other brave speakers cant do for you (us) what each of us can with our own voices, letters, and by educating the ones that dont understand that POWER (government) and MONEY (your money) only create more corruption
While you (majority of this country) are worried about who is playing in the super bowl . ????
I dont get it The only country in the world that was based on equal opportunity has given it all up.
If each person instead of watching the super bowl would have spent that same time researching the failure of Socialistic approach to health care and stimulus plans (Sweden, Canada, Japan to name a few) they would have gotten a glimpse of the disaster that awaits us and perhaps some real changes could start such as the impeachment of both democrats and republicans and by starting a INTELLIGENT PEOPLE MOVEMENT to erase the harm csused by so many mindless earmarks.
Blunt corruption is what we have contributed to creating, just because you didnt care to take a stand on voting day or writing to your Congressman and Senators.
Dont you understand that as a politician or any government employee it is their privilege to work for you? YOU ARE THE EMPLOYER! YOU!!!! THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITIED STATES OF AMERICA, LEGAL CITIZENS are the ONLY ONES with the right to hire and fire based on performance not the other way around.
BUT YOU ARE LETTING THE EMPLOYEE DECIDE THE FAITH OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Congratulations!!!! You have enabled the demise of your familys future, your parents retirement, and your childrens education. - StimulusNo one government - should have that much power over a people; and we shouldnt need the government to take care of us in this way, creating programs that make us more and more dependent so the next time voting takes place they can run on a we will keep this program if you vote for me platform. You know play on our fear of losing a hand out program so they can stay in office. Lazy bumbs!
However, it seems to me that we the people have relinquished the power of the people and have allow the government to take care of us to our ruin. Now here we are looking for a miracle to take place with this so-called government stimulus package that most if not all of the American public will never see, oh, not until our taxes go through the roof to pay back this money. Beside most of it is being spent on (BS) pork projects. Give me a break! We need to create our own jobs and take back our power to live free from economic tyranny in our own damned country. - Chevy VoltThe Volt is a joke. The EV1 that GM pulled off the market would travel over 120 miles on one charge. That was almost 10 years ago. Now GM has the Volt that will travel 40 miles and cost over 35k. That is progress at its best.
- OilWhy is the price of oil going up and no one is paying attention.
HOUSTON: From the Indian Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, giant supertankers brimming with oil are resting at anchor or slowly tracing racetrack patterns at sea, heading nowhere.
The ships are marking time, serving as floating oil-storage tanks. The companies and countries leasing them for that purpose have made a simple calculation: The price of oil has fallen so far that it is due for a rise.
Some producing countries are trying to force that rise by using the tankers to withhold oil from the market, while traders are trying to profit by buying oil now to store and sell at a higher price later. Oil storage has become so popular that onshore tank capacity is becoming scarce.
Only six months ago, companies up and down the energy pipeline were rushing oil to market, struggling to keep up with galloping demand and soaring prices. Now, with the global economy slumping and people driving less, demand for oil has plunged - and the same companies are acting in ways that would have been unimaginable until recently.
Oil producers are shutting rigs down, refiners are producing less gasoline and investment planning throughout the industry is in turmoil. - StimulusTo re-instate the draft, would in one year bring us to a 3% unemployment level and make us the strongest country once again we need a 2 million troup battle ready military, this would stimulate the manufacturing base in this country beyond anything it has seen in 50 years from shovels to computers to laser guided missle
- Slogan For People Depending on the Government's HelpThe Psalm of Lazy People:
The Government is my Shephard, I need not work, It alloweth me to lie down on good jobs, It leadeth me jobless, It destroyed my initiative, It leaveth me in the path of parasite, for employer's sake. Yes, though I walk the Valley of Laziness and Deficit Spending, I will fear not working, for the government is with me. They prepareth an economic utopic for me, by appropriating the earnings of my children, It filled my head with false security, my inefficiency runneth over. Surely, the Government shall help and care for me all the days of my life and I shall dwell on doing nothing forever.

- Parent ChoiceBoortz:
Please include in your discussion on vouchers the fact that Michele and Barack Obama both received scholarships and vouchers to attend primary, secondary, post secondary and law and graduate schools throughout this nation. Look what they have accomplished. Can you imagine if it was afforded to all children? - Body Mass Index in Mass. SchoolsThe mandatory measurement of body weight and height of all school students, with required reports to parents, began in Arkansas under the term of Gov. Mike Huckabee. He had intentionally lost a lot of weight and felt it was important for others to get fit, as well. Seeing the trend in childhood obesity, that wasn't always being addressed by pediatricians, the state wanted parents' awareness to be raised (believe it or not, many parents don't recognize that their kid is overweight unless they have numbers staring them in the face! As the American population balloons in girth, overweight folks don't look fatter than anyone else.) Taking care of a problem begins with identifying it early.

http://sexoffenderissues.blogspot.com/2007/12/child-sex-offenders.html
When an ex-offender is forced to move from his/her home, thus having to sell it, cannot find another home within the law due to the residency "buffer" zones, get fired from their jobs due to being on the registry, cannot find a new job due to being on the registry, their husband/wife lose their jobs due to a significant other being on the registry, their children lose their friends and are harassed and bullied in school due to a family member being on the registry, thus destroying the children's lives, ex-offenders are forced into homelessness and to live under bridges, harassed by police, neighbors and probation/parole officers, have to wear "I'm a s*x offender T-shirt" or have a neon green license plate on ALL their cars, have "s*x offender" on their drivers license and forced to renew their licenses every year, forced from shelters during tornadoes or hurricanes, cannot give blood at some places due to being discriminated against for being on the s*x offender registry, denied housing due to being on the registry, signs placed in their yards inviting harassment and ridicule from the neighbors, forced to move when the neighbors start picketing outside the ex-offenders home, the list is endless.
I THINK THIS IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT, BEYOND THE EXTREME! - commentsUpon reading listeners' comments, I am not surprised that so many Americans make poor choices about whom they elect, how much debt they carry, etc. So many are semi-literate. Not one in ten can write a comment that is grammatically correct, properly punctuated and spelled correctly. No, I am not a teacher; just someone who appreciates the English language and wishes others did, too.
- Deficits don't matter?This is a cheap smear. Dick Cheney made that statement when Repubs had both houses of congress and the white house.
Obama said we will have larger deficits in the short term so that the economy doesn't collapse all together. The key is the "short term". Cheney's statement had not time limit, Obama's did. - Women w/ short hair have no sex driveWhat a crock of crud!!! That is so far from the truth. I have had short hair for over two years and I could be considered extremely active in that area when given the chance. I would be delighted with several times a day if I was given the opportunity. Just because other women with short hair have some sexual issues, doesn't mean that we all do. Maybe they just never found the right man to do the right job!!!!
- posing commentsWhat's the point in making comments if you do not post them promptly? The last one is from 12/3 and the one I made yesterday is not posted. Love the show though!
- Chevy VoltNeal,
I'm amazed that you do not know more about the Chevy Volt. Its been in the news every week. The reason they did not drive it all the way from Chicago is that the Volt is a COMMUTER CAR. It only has a range of 40 miles. It is designed for the customer to charge every night and drive no more than 40 miles in a day. - Skeet shooting at piratesYou were probably kidding, but if you know a little about shotguns, if passengers started shooting shotguns at the terrorists, you would wind up with a bunch of dead skeet shooting passengers. The effective range of a shotgun is not very far, especially compared to the high power rifles the pirates use. Cruise ships in that area should be staffed with trained snipers with high-powered rifles. A 50cal would work very well. Better yet, use some type of cannon to sink the pirate boats.
- Obama's birthplaceI have no more respect for you after hearing you calling the birth certificate issue "crap". I am not a conpiracy nut, and I don't believe 9-11 was an inside job. The birth certificate issue is legitimate, regardless what the Supreme court decides.
- Dont blame the MoslemsThe stupid rules against Christmas trees are often blamed on the Moslems. They should not be blamed; instead stupid Americans that want to be politically correct have come up with those policies.
My wife and I spent Christmas in the UAE in 2006. We visited several of the emirates iincluding Sharjah (the most conservative/religious emirate). Every hotel, mall, shopping area and club had a Christmas tree. They all had Christmas music playing in the background and it included religious songs (Little Town of Bethlehem) as well as secular songs (Frosty the Snowman). Everyone asked where we were from and when we said America, they immediately replied with Merry Christmas.
The Emir even gave a speech urging all the Moslems in the UAE to join with the Christians in celebrating the most holy day in the Christian year. - Auto IndustryThe Unions and the general public are largely to blame for the current crisis in the auto industry. Remember, when you are pointing the finger at someone else, there are 3 of our own fingers pointing right back at you. Says a lot about where the blame lies. Another point. You have two ears and one mouth- use them in appropriate proportion- translated for the "stupid people" Listen twice as much and speak half as often. You will "assume" less and make far less of an "ass" of U (you) and me.

- R U STUPID R WHATNext time you co-author a book make sure u read it. In the Fair Tax Book you referred to income tax as all withholding including SSI Medicaid and Medicare. But then when in comes to the income tax that the top 1% of income earners pay you are only referring to income tax which the top 1 % pay approx. 40% but if you include all the federal withholding the top 1% pay only 22% Why the misinformation Neal? Why not the whole truth? Oh yea priest of the painful truth... did that hurt the widdle lying priest??

- HernandazI feel she did the right thing for the wrong reason.
We can not allow even one person to defraud our country in any way for any reason. The lenient acts towards fraud is part what has us in the predicument we are in today.
They should have The attorney who filed the mortgage inunder this childs SS Number the dad, the woman and her attorney all in court for fraud. Then let the court determine if he is or is not illegal. Also you said he has a gov. ID to work and pay taxes. You said he has been illegaly here for 10 years; how many of thoses 10 years has he had the ID and paid taxes? There is to many questions to give a ok just let it be attitude.
Thats my opinion. - Rape of the US Auto IndustryPlease tell the public the whole truth about the U.S. car manufacturers. Tell the public of the perks the employees receive/d over the years. While you and I had to leave your/our own children to go to work before the break of day, THOUSANDS of the U.S. car manufacturers' employees were paid MOST of their salaries to STAY HOME for MONTHS at a time!!!! They may have retooled the factory, but these are/were able bodied men and women by the thousands received top pay to STAY HOME!!AND receive FREE medical to boot!!!! Why would all the folks who braved the weather and traffic, who had to endure lousy bosses and have the worry if they would have a job the next day have to pay for the poorly managed car companies' mistakes. Their employees have already had all they should get! Please report all of their entitlements and let the public know of the abuse.
- Auto Czar?Is that like a babysitter?
- Auto CompaniesBeing a former Detroiter, I can tell you that the auto workers may have unionized themselves out of a job. Earnings should be commensurate with training and education level. Why should someone with a high school diploma make 70.00 an hour to produce a crap product? When I lived in Detroit, stories were common of auto workers punching eachother's time ticket in and out, drinking on the job, calling in sick, faking injuries to collect workman's comp and so on. It is time for American auto companies to realize that they had the opportunity 30 years ago to compete with foreign companies but they chose to do business as usual. This is the result. We cannot bail out every poorly run company in the country. It is just not feasible.
- Domestic Cars?Does anyone know if Speaker Pelosi drives a domestic car? As leader of the house I would hope she owns and drives domestic cars since she is so gun ho about giving our money to a these failing companies.
It is also interesting that recent monies went to prop up factories and supplies in Pennsylavia and Ohio. Is it because of the Unions or perhaps workers in these states are more important than those in South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, etc... As for my peer group goes most of us drive foreign cars not high end cars but your basic Honda Civics Toyota Camary, etc.. Detroit hasn't produced a product that appeals to many of the people of my generation with exception of their exotic high performance cars which most of us couldn't afford unless we lived out a Corvette.
If any shares any of these views? - Marines ChristmasWhere do I go to give money for the Marines Christmas stockings?
- GMMany years PBS ran a story about GM and how every 7 cars built goes to retirement and health care. In addition they ask one gentlman coming out the Doctor's office how much this visit cost him and prescription cost him,he quipped zero. This was 10 years ago,,,quite the days of making 40.00 dollars an hour screwing in door knobs is over..and it does'nt take a Democrate,Reppublican to see this foolishness.
- Tipping IdeaNext time you go out and a tip is customary, simply have "tip money" in your wallet in the form of a picture of BO. On the back appologize to the server, valet and so on, that due to BO's economic policies, he has deprived you the joy of giving freely. I am sure these folks who depend on tips to supplement their income, will be totally understanding.
Meg: I too, will no longer be using many service people. I have reduced our expenses by several hundred dollars a month. Hang on- the ride is going to get bumpy. - Scared to Death-Please HelpWhat can we do Neil? How do we fight back? We worked hard to aquire our wealth. Like many people we got stuck with gulf coast property but being responsible people, didn't buy anything we can't afford to hold. But for how long will we have to hold it?
When Obama said that for those of us who did not vote for him, he will be our president too. The way he said it sounded like a threat. I am beginning to get paranoid. Please help calm me down. - Re: Sarah PalinI listened to the Neil Boortz program in Tucson, AZ on Sunday 11/9. It may have been a replay of a show earlier in the week.
Very disappointing.
I look to a conservative host such as yourself to be prepared on issues. Your "sidekick" was talking about Palin as someone who just didn't qualify because she is uneducated and couldn't answer Couric's question concerning her favorite magazines- Obama is so "educated" and "smart."
You said "based on that I would agree with you."
Come on. Do a little research. Be more prepared.
Palin's education is well documented by Obama's Dept. of Media. She graduated. Her trouble with the magazine question goes more to concerns she had for repercussions in McCain's campaign than lack of intelligence. She's a very bright person and any three year old could answer the question.
There are questions regarding Obama's education. How did a slightly below average Columbia student get into Harvard Law. With no evidence of papers or transcripts how did he become president of the Law Review? One can only assume he had some big time "help."
Does Obama's well known gaff during the campaign that the U.S. has 57 states disqualify him? Obviously not.
Anyway, what good is "smart" if you make all the wrong decisions?
Palin obviously followed through on enough campaign promises and made enough good decisions that she was rewarded with an 80+ approval rating in Alaska.
I say Barack will be overachieving to do half as well. - Challenge you to listen to NPRHere it is: Listen to NPR news (e.g. All Things Considered") for 5 consecutive day. You can always return to Boortz for comedy.
- Neal's question regarding why more people are listen to sports talk radio than his type of programThe answer became self evident after listening today (for about 5 minutes) to Neal and his screaming guest (from Arizona) interact with a caller.
- Royal's commentsI did'nt vote for a Georgia, white, liberal...Jimmy Carter and I would'nt vote for any other liberal with Obama's left wing values!
- your comment on Nov. 5I listen to your show - late - the repeat of the morning edition. I could not believe hearing you try to decide how to HIDE MONEY FROM OUR GOVERNMENT, in order to avoid "possible" and I repeat "possible" taxation. The options I heard coming from YOUR mouth were either to purchase real estate or put your money in another country. First of all it's too bad that you have so much money that you have to worry about such things ! Typical Republican.
Second, sending your money overseas to avoid taxes sounds just like the many businesses that have done just that. And you have dared to imply that Obama is un-American...........what I heard from you last night, sounds very un-American to me !! - palin's intelligenceroyal - who cares? she's a non-factor know. BO won let's get past the personal attacks. Besides you sound eliteness
- President Obama / IsraelReports say, President Obama's Middle East support will not be for Israel.
I am most concerned with his non-support because when the United States becomes an enemy of Israel, G-d's judgement will be swift and complete.
Israel is the apple of G-d's eye, so to honor our God, we should support Israel with any and all of our resources. - post election preservation of capitalWell, now I will have fewer checks to write each month as I tell my maid and yard service and cable service and manicurist goodbye and notify the waiter the few times that I eat out that I can no longer afford a 20% tip. White guilt will no longer motivate me to be kind to those less fortunate because they now have the government to take care of them.
- what to do post election to preserve capitalThankfully I will now how fewer checks to write each month. I can fire the maid, discontinue the lawn service, cut off cable, and, sorry, I can no longer afford to tip 20% on those few times we go out to eat. I will be washing my own car and using my own vaccum cleaner to tidy the floors and I can wish my pedicurist well- it was a nice luxury while it lasted!
- TaxesUnemployment andTaxes
To all the unemployed which I am one of you, listen well! Unemployment checks are already taxed and they will go higher, after that they will raise taxes on the places where we we shop so the price's at Wal-Mart is going up. Obama will tax everybody that earns over $150.00 just watch but if you don't earn money don't worry he will give you some of mine!
Very well put, the lazy just got lazier and the useless ust got even more useless.... All people people worry about when they vote is "WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?" am i right..... i heard many people getting interviewed on election day saying "I'll VOTE FO HIM IF I AINT GOT TO PAY FO MY GAS, MY MORTGAGE, AND EXPENSES"!!!!!!! GET A JOB life aint about hand outs... - What country can I move to?Can you recommend any countries that have an actual capitalist system, stable government and low taxes? After yesterday, I'm ready to move.
- Obama Wins !!Even the NFL got the Presidency right !
This stat is 17-0....!!! Thats right Perfect since the late 30`s !
Here is how it goes:
For 17 straight election terms NO President has WON the election without
this "POWER POINT" Stat taking place.
In the last NFL game before the election takes place, If the NFC team wins a REPUBLICAN gets in. (McCain)
If the AFC team wins a Democrat gets in. (Obama)
This past week, the last game before the Election was on Monday night and featured the: (NFC) Washington Redskins vs (AFC) Pittsburg Steelers
The underdog Steelers won the game in a Landslide and so did the Democratic candidate; Obama wins in a Landslide !!! This stat is now 18-0 !!!!!!
AND in closing "W.BUSH YOU`RE FIRED" !! - Streaming TodayThe connection is horrible. What was changed? I would like to listen but the interruptions are too much!
- Obama-election day offYou must realize that all state employees take election day off in Illinois anyway, and probably the vast majority of them are Obama supporters.
- Voter SuppressionI keep hearing about Republicans and "voter suppression", yet I've never heard of a single case of it. What is voter suppression and where do I go for training?
- Unemployment andTaxesTo all the unemployed which I am one of you, listen well! Unemployment checks are already taxed and they will go higher, after that they will raise taxes on the places where we we shop so the price's at Wal-Mart is going up. Obama will tax everybody that earns over $150.00 just watch but if you don't earn money don't worry he will give you some of mine!
- Reality CheckAll those who feel who are in denial need to come to the realization that you need to read other sources in order to get a broader knowledge of facts. Please read more than one or two sources.
- President of the free worldI csnnot believe the crowds Obama gets in all the red states. It is amazing the gullible that are out there. I heard woman said "We need Obama for president. We will never pay for high gas and he will help me with my mortgage". Is this what this country has come to? I thought this country was created to give people the opportunity to live without the government standing over the citizens shoulder. I thought that we have the opportunity to be successful here and dwell in the rewards for our hard work. This reminds me of the gullible that followed passed dictators when they were upset with the current government. Ask people who leave countries that "spread the wealth" why did they come here. The next president will have a hard job ahead of him, however this country does not need a president who support botch abortion killings, gay marriage, and vote against competition in schools. Obama is scary to me because he beat the Clinton machine. That is scary. How can one be more of a leftist than illary? Wow! I do not have dog in this fight. I voted for Huckabee. He is genuine and honest. Most of all I think we need a LEADER that wil cut spending and protect our home land. Obama is a threat to the solutions that plague this country. We need to vote vote and not give this country to the far left wing party.
Toby AKA Black Conservative - Is this the truth?If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI
or with the Secret Service, he would be
disqualified because of his past association
with William Ayers, a known terrorist.
For this same reason, he would be disqualified
from joining the military.
If he is elected President he would not qualify to
be his own body guard! - POLLSI THINK THE POLLS ARE SKEWED TO THE DEMOCRATS. THIS RACE IS VERY CLOSE AND I THINK THAT OBAMA KNOWS IT. CONSERVATIVES DON'T PARTICIPATE IN POLLS WE HANG UP, BECAUSE WE HAVE LIVES AND JOBS TO DO.

Maryland Sex Offenders Must Post 'No Candy' Signs
Really want to scare the bejesus out of your neighbors this Halloween? Consider posting the sign at right, which the Washington Times reports was recently sent in the mail to all registered sex offenders in Maryland.
The paper signs began arriving last week in the mailboxes of the roughly 1,200 violent and child-sex offenders across the state with a letter explaining how they are to comport themselves on Oct. 31.
"Halloween provides a rare opportunity for you to demonstrate to your neighbors that you are making a sincere effort to change the direction of your life," the letter states.
In addition to posting the sign, the offenders must stay at home, turn off outside lights and not answer the door, according to the letter obtained by The Washington Times.
And here you thought that animatronic, LED-laden skeleton you've been working on for weeks was going to be the most frightening thing anyone coming to a door on Oct. 31 would see.

The death of responsible journalism is near
Earlier this week I asked the students in my "Writing for the Media" class at North Georgia College & State University in Dahlonega, GA, to read two stories from The New York Times and tell me if they detected any bias in them... - Obama and KhalidiI like the way you only told half of the story. Obama was talking about finding common ground between Isreal and Pakistan. That's exactly what should happen!!
- Republican Music/VideosThe section on the Democrat vs. Republican music was a riot yesterday. Here is some better music as a parody a friend of mine created and I edited a video to that is also country, albeit a bit better than most: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj6MO0zvZxA
Enjoy, Michael - ObamaPrior to the ninteenth century there were plenty of prosperous and free countries run by black leaders.
The real question is do you know more than American History? - obamahave you ever seen a country in the world that is run by a black leader that is prosperous and free?
- Five Reasons that Obama is the Chosen one:1. He has resurrected thousands of dead people to register and vote.
2. He organized the largest political rally in Berlin, Germany since 1938.
3. 11 out of 10 terrorists support him (Hamas voted twice).
4. He supports the working class as long as they dont have bibles, guns, or are plumbers.
5. My cat supports him, baraaak is the sound she makes when she hacks up a hair ball. - Kids get this!My son came home from school and asked why is it wronge for Obama to give money to poor people? Little johnny lives on a farm his parents work this farm for a living. So Johnny always has a huge lunch packed for him from his farm. Many of the children in his class live in the city. These children live near nice parks and movie theaters. Suffice it to say many of these kids have a slim lunch of a PB sandwich and (yes Neal) a bag of chips. Johnny is touched by a few of the kids in his class that live in the city because they live in the city because Mom is a single parent and she needs to live on the bus line. So Johnny shares his lunch with these children. Next thing you know teacher comes in and demands that Johnny must share his lunch with everyone in class. Is that fair? Why cant Johnny chose who he wants to help? So what happens next...... Johnny stops bringing that huge lunch that he was happy to share with some of the class. Now no one gets any extra lunch!
- soundbitesPropaganda: "White folks' greed runs a world in need" - Hussein Obama
Truth: "Liberals' guilt perverts what the Founders built" - Sparkle Plenty - What Would John McCain Do?You have made it clear what Obama is going to do. What Would John McCain Do?
How would things be different from what they are now if Mcain is elected.
Listening for your answer. This is the second time I have asked this question. - Vanassa's CommentaryAs an educated woman, I would think you'd spend time posting about the policies you believe are so wonderful from Obama instead of a full paragraph of ghetto threats to those who disagree with you. Neal Boortz doesn't really give anyone a free pass, regardless of party. In fact, he spends a great deal of time explaining the specific details behind his views.
- Obama tax clarificationHello Niel,
Your clarification helped to make the case for Obama, thank you for not being a waterboy here.
We disagrre but thank you for your open honesty.
Red - Ayers' Manifesto - Prarie Fire - dedicated to Sirhan SirhanWell, if you had any doubts about Billy Boy this should clear them up. Yet another one of Obama's friends.
http://www.zombietime.com/prairie_fire/ - ObsessionWhy is Royal silent? Calling Obama a communist, sounds like the days of old. So Boortz thinks McCain is God's gift to the people!? You think just because he is not 'speaking' out loud about raising taxes the he Won't? Neal is so obsessed and terrified with the idea of having a black man run the country that he can't be objective. So if McCain wins, then he should have nothing to complain or speak about and this next few months should be the end of this type of rhetoric. FYI, no matter who wins, taxes WILL GO UP! I don't recall McCain supporting the Fair Tax- did I miss something? I have listened to Boortz for 10 years, I have a signed copy of his last book, I like Boortz when hes funny, and objective.
- Bam!Well Earl,I guess we can also thank George Bush and the Republicans for the "United Slaves." The former slaves have been catching hell from us for the last century. And just yesyerdayI checked, and they're still catching it by the false undisguised claim of voter fraud from you guessed it, we Republicans. But don't worry we'll pull a fast one again, and McCain will win because you know we rigged a few voting machines as usual. But at least it remains USA.
- Bam! You can't handle the truth!!Bam! You can't handle the truth!! I guess she told you, punk
By the way I'll take that ticket. I want you to give me a ticket to the United States of America, cause this is no longer the country in which I was born. This is now the United Slaves of America. I want to go to the United States of America thank you very much. - 10/22/08 Morning showI am a black female who has followed Neal Boortz for the past 10 years. You are very devisive along with your pals Hannity and Combs. You say that blacks are voting for Obama because he is black. Whites are voting for McCain because he is white. You call the people you surveyed this morning stupid ignorant. I challenge you to speak to an educated black woman that supports Obama on his policies and then you can have a real conversation. Racism is okay for whites to vote white but when an educated black man you can not link to any real dirt amazing you all can not handle it. He is smarter and his education level tops both McCain and Palin together. I am tired of hearing this stupid ass example of a war hero and partiotic. I am just as patiotic as most Republican running around shooting off their mouths, but at least I am not afraid to express the wrongs this country has. So try to talk to a real educated black woman like myself who can really defend why I support a very good example of what the first family should look like. Call me 404-259-8301. I dare you.... lol
- RNC spends $150,000+ for clothesCheck this out...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081022/pl_politico/14805
This is one of many reasons I changed my political affiliation from Republican to Independent.. It use to be that the Republicans controlled their spending habits (to a point). Now both parties believe they are above the law and can spend tax payers' money without any restrictions or conscious. - Taxes Taxes Taxes on Small BusinessesNeal, stop the fear mongering. The economy is already in the tank. Barack Obama's plan to tax persons and businesses making over $250K will barely affect them. I work for a small business and we've been doing bad since the first of the year. So, you're saying that more of the same is going to be better? Not really. We have paid to keep the wealthy in position and have not gained anything except stagnant wages; while CEO's make out like bandits and watch us lose houses, healthcare and our lives. It is time for a change!
- obamamhttp://www.atlah.org/broadcast/ndnr10-17-08.html
you must see this - Fair Tax/Small Businesses/Economic StimulusThere are three big issues that need to be dealt with in these last 2 weeks of campaigning--and in the months to follow.
I personally am quite disillusioned with how small businesses have been treated in this economic fiasco.
Let me start with basics. I am now and have always been current on my business debts. I had a $100,000 line of credit collateralized by prime real estate that was closed by my bank of
40 years. Today although I have no options to financing for short term needs. I have had to cut back staff significantly because of this issue. My small company that has employed 20 people is now down to 3. We will not
survive unless the federal government gets involved in backing some small business loans. Right now SBA is a
laugh! It is not serving the purpose it was set up to perform.
If the federal government would do some type of SHORT TERM financing for small businesses, we could "cut" the
unemployment rates and put some very good people back to work. This would help small businesses, the unemployed,
and the retail businesses that are suffering in this environment. THIS WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ANY KIND OF ONE TIME CHECK TO FAMILIES. THERE ARE MOMS AND DADS OUT THERE THAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR ECONOMY AND MAKE THEM MUCH HAPPIER AND PRODUCTIVE THAN THIS SITUATION.
Small businesses cannot create jobs without money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WORK IS A VERY GOOD WORD--AMERICANS NEED TO EMBRACE THIS CONCEPT AND MANY UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE DO--GIVE THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY.
Also on the Fair Tax, why hasn't someone on WSB challenged this ad by
the Committee to Elect Democratic Candidates which is plain lying about
Saxby Chambliss. Saxby is far from my favorite politician and I had planned to vote for Mr. Martin to "tell" Saxby
that he is not representing us well, but there is NO WAY I will vote for ANY
CANDIDATE that allows LIES like this ad
does.
Thanks for this opportunity to express
my opinions.
Fay King - schumer fair txC. schumer was trolling fore votes at big local fair yesterday. I asked him what he thought of F.T. Said right away"Good idea" then said it would not work as politicians would put tax on trop.I said that what you are there for to stop. He then disconnected to seek other approval. Joe Savage, Commack, ny
- Republicans At their bestAttorneys for the community organizing group ACORN have notified the FBI and the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division of several incidents where ACORN organizers and offices have been attacked.
In Cleveland, Ohio, an ACORN organizer received a death threat after appearing on television. Meanwhile, vandals broke into the groups Boston and Seattle offices and stole computers. - DemocracyGOP Operative Arrested for Voter Registration Fraud
In other voting news, the Los Angeles Times reports the owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters has been arrested on suspicion of voter registration fraud. Mark Jacoby is accused of fraudulently registering himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that all signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California. - An important question for all votersAsk yourself the following question before casting your vote for president; If McCain was black and Obama was white, would I change my original vote? If it remains unchanged then you are probably voting for the right reasons.
- Chicago and Democrats/ObamaBody count in last 6 months: 292 murdered in Chicago; 221 Killed in Iraq.
Illinois State Pension fund ($44 billion in debit) worst in U.S.; Cook Count or sales tax is 10.25%, highest in Nation; school system worst in nation. The "important" leaders in Chicago, Illinois: Sen. Obama; Sen Durbin, Rep Jessie Jackson, Jr., Gov. Blogojevich; House leader Madigan; Atty. Gen Madigan, and Mayor Richard Daly, remember him!! Can't blame Repubicans here because there aren't any!! This is the political machine that Obama and Democrats think can take care of this Nation??!! Obama says he going to "FIX" Washington! Lord help us - - - - The Nose KnowsEverybody knows that John McCain and Sarah Palin are vilifying Acorn to justify voter suppression. The GOP is trying to purge thousands of Democratic voters off the roll in states like Ohio, Florida and Colorado. It is No Big Secret..
- Gasoline pricesThe recent fall of oil price per bbl of oil It is at/below $70. What caused this? It was not supply and demand. Demand is higher than ever. The supply is about the same. They say Gas may fall to below $2.00 gallon by Dec. Why? Answer: The Speculators... And the talk over and action in alternative engery sources. Every time we get serious the price of gas drops and of course it is more convientant and cheaper to go with oil. Coinsidence???
- The Unseen McCain LandslideJohn McCain is trailing in the polls but is incredibly still within striking distance. I think that if it werent for the following factors, McCain would be ahead by a major percentage. In fact, he might have been able to pull off the biggest landslide in history (the biggest is 61.1% LBJ over 38.5% Goldwater). Here is my math (my worst subject):
Non partisan press with respect to their support for Obama: +10% to McCain
Non partisan press with respect to their disdain for Palin: +3% to McCain
SNL disdain for Palin: +2% to McCain
Anticipated voter fraud: +5% to McCain
Public funding commitment honored by Obama: +5% to McCain
So, I think if this onion were peeled, McCain would win 75/25. The fact that McCain is still within a few points in spite of the above, bears this out.
Im Dave Zibman and I approve this message. - Media Spun Obama Ratings DebuckleI watched the third debate and can see how the general masses (self included) can easily be persuaded to vote for Obama (at first glance). His debate skills are polished and professional. He words (though vague) do ring with what we want to hear. Who doesn't want more opportunity and less tax? Based on liberal media, Obama has no weaknesses. If not for Boortz and Hannity, I too could be fooled. It takes some real thought to decipher the real implication of his words.
At second glance, you can hear the "just words" and notice the omitted "how to pay for it". Looking at facts, we know that Regans lowering of taxes, not only boosted, but enabled our economy to prosper. When Obama says Ill keep jobs from going over the border, you hear what sounds good till you remember the facts - its the higher corporate taxes that cause jobs to disappear and move elsewhere.
I am proud to be an American. Most of us really do have a true can do attitude. But if we allow the let the government provide attitude prevail, may God help us! Although Americans can overcome almost anything, I wonder, regardless of political affiliation, how can we survive Obama? Particularly with the current financial uncertainty. Particularly how our economy affects the global economy. I fear a vote for Obama equals a vote for an abomination.
An additional trillion of spending. Additional tax burden on business (our economic engine), including the average Joe plumber. Less jobs, less choice, less individual opportunity. The only ones who would benefit are those who dont want to work. Yes, I am worried. If we believe the media spin, were already done. I have to believe the liberal spin is also just words. An attempt to defraud the public trust. An attempt to steal the election. At one point, McCain was not my first choice. Today, McCain & Palin are our only choice, our only chance, for America to survive. - The Nose KnowsEverybody knows that John McCain and Sarah Palin are vilifying Acorn to justify voter suppression. The GOP is trying to purge thousands of Democratic voters off the roll in states like Ohio, Florida and Colorado. It is No Big Secret..
- OBAMA debate ??Neal ,
Will there be a download / podcast of the Obama / Neal debate ?? - BOORTZ FOR PRESIDENT!!(Even though you are a libertarian... )Please make plans to run for president during the next election, BUT run on the republican ticket so that we can actually get you into the white house!! Why won't really intelligent people run for president anymore???? You actually know how to form a logical thought / argument!!
- Term Limits For All PoliticiansAfter all that has happened why shouldn't there be term limits for all of these crooks in Washington? They forget what its like to be "out here". So they don't suffer the consequences of their actions and votes.
- Neal, thanks for the heads up. See letter below.This was sent to the DSCC and Jim Martin this morning. Thanks for the heads up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axjNLlCoGss
To the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee:
I watched this commercial last night that your group created, referenced above in the YouTube link. I am a Fair Tax supporter and your blatant distortion of the plan is appalling. Let me make this very clear, your decision to represent the Fair Tax as an addition of 23% to all purchases without mentioning the removal of all imbedded taxes in that same product; including but not limited to the income tax, capital gains tax, medi-care and social security taxes and the abolition of the IRS is your sad and transparent lie of omission.
To put it simply, your pandering to the ignorance of your constituents is exactly what is wrong with this country. Whoever reads this email within your organization, I hope that one day you regain your soul and love of the truth and find your way back to humanity. We can have political discussions based in fact and have genuine disagreements and work for solutions but this ad is anything but an attempt at that. Your decision to run this type of ad represents everything that is wrong with our current political process. Congratulations on being part of the problem rather than the solution.
Strong letter to follow:
Regards,
Brian Montgomery - Obama Abortion BillReginold: Obama refused to sign a bill that would require medical assistance to botched abortions in the state of Illionois. He was taped stating that his reasoning was that it would make the situation worse for the mother. Nice guy--respect for life! NOT! Guess it will apply to the too old as well.
- rationaleNeal, who gave these government educated audience members a day pass and access to a computer? Keep up the good work and relentless pressure on the Obama bin Biden ticket!
- others making commentsDamn Neal, I didn't realize so many people disliked you. Just goes to show you no matter what your view, your bound to P*ss about half of them off. I just wish they could write.
- Faux-bamaKnowing thsat the case of the U.S. of A. versus the "weather underground" is being taught in Harvard and other liberal law colleges as a "classical study case", and that Faux-Bama is a very capable foot soldier of the "Saul-Ski" movement, do you doubt for a second that he would naturally search out the duo of William Ayers and Bernadeen Dorne as like minded conspirators?
- Connecting Obama to Bill Ayers - Parallels to Neal Boortz?Neal,
Is it true that you were, as a young man, a speechwriter for Lester Maddox? If so, should people who opposed Jim Crow hold you to that distinction a la Bill Ayers? - Term Limits: Fair TaxNeal, I have read your Book on the Fair Tax. I am not convinced that the Fair Tax would work for these reasons:
#1 Our check and balance would be that we can vote out our Congressmen if we do not like them raising the rates. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAWMAKERS GO UNCHALLANGED? LOOK AT ALL THE CONGRESSMEN WHO HAVE BEEN IN FOR YEARS/ DECADES AND NO-ONE CAN RUN BECAUSE THEY CANNOT COME CLOSE TO GETTING THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT THAT THE LOBYISTS GIVE THE INCUMBENT.
#2. There is nothing in the bill that prevents lawmakers from making themselves tax exsmpt--tax free number.
#3. Look at how many companies have moved off shore where they can pay pennies on the dollar for salaries, no benefits, etc and the cost of these items has not been reduced--the companies enjoy greater profits.
#4. Companies making widgets will have to pay taxes on the materials they use to make the item thus increasing the amount of the product--cost to public.
#5 States and the Fed. Government is at liberty to inflict other deductions to supplement healthcare, medicare, etc. They are at liberty to add anything they want in the future and we have no control. Then we would be in worse shape!
Thanks for reading. I listen to your program a lot; would like to hear if I am wrong on these issues.
QUESTION: Can states institute term limits for US Congress--Reps and Senators? If congress had to go back to the community to work after a specific amount of time in office; had a 401K like the rest of us and not lifelong pension; had to pay for Cobra insurance until they got insurance I think a lot of the curruption on Capitol Hill would be eliminated. How do we get term limits with the additional limitations imposed on Congress? - Obama is another Bill CampbellJust wait to see -
Barack Obama is really just Bill Campbell without the mustache - Like the lady below says, how come belinda(mother of the year)pulled her comment section off her bio page?Maybe she's spending all her free time praying about the lawsuit.
- BelindaWhat happened? Belinda couldn't handle the truthful comments being about her money hungry lawsuit?
- Stop the LiesTell your listeners to go to Factcheck.org to learn about Obama. They can learn the truth about the William Ayers story and Obama themselves. Otherwise all they have to go on is you repeating the same old lie.
- General commentsTo be honest, I wish that John Mccain would win the presitial election
because you would not have a job. You and other news announcers on this station spend the whole time talking against the Democratic party and Obama. After the election, "what would you talk about"?
Do you have anything bad to about Mccain. I suppose he is perfect. - Barack is a ChristianHe is a decent, kind and loving
family-man. He is more like us than you think.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/m2/55c13ad4/5008a6bb/61870bbd/1188bab9/2716608875/VEsF/
I am a believer now. At least he did not abuse his power while he's been senator. Palin is the BIG fibber - and no one is talking about that. - OBAMAIf Mr. Obama applied for a government job that required Top Secret security status, he probably would not qualify because of his association with a known terrorist.
- Obama Book - authorship?Someone who was part of the Harvard Law Review MIGHT just have a well written paragraph or two inside him.
And do we really want to get into a discussion of how many well know pols, celebs, etc etc have some degree of help from ghost writers? - hey nealgo falcons!!!!!!!!
- Low-class NeilDo you have any idea what you are saying when you talk about Islam and the prophet Mohamed? At least provide your rational opinion ... and I have no problem with that. But being so ignorant and insulting...then you have no class. I suggest that you seriously learn some values from Burak Obama and his Wife Michelle.
One more thing, we had a proverb that says: " The train is going although the dogs are barking". So you know, more americans are converting to Islam since 9/11 than ever before. These people understood that Islam has nothing to do with this kind of teaching. - People you associateMy Grandma ALWAYS said..."if you play with chicken mess, you ARE going to get some of it on YOU!!!" This is a favorite of many,to the point and TRUE!!
- Fluff in my EarMiss Sarah....
Sarah Palin for president? You've got to be joking. - Who is to blameWhen i listen and read comments that are always looking for someone to blame it sends a red flag. I do understand that these are people opinions and we all have one or two. The issue is that while you are point your finger and looking for a reason to blame someone, for your own issues, you never took the time to see how you are contributing to the cause. Good or bad. Psuasiveness is the abiltiy to control or alter anothers thoughts. Neil you do what you do well, Jim Jones had the ability to get a whole camp of people to drink poision thinking that they where headed to a better place. (AMERICANS) You all are going to end up in a camp( your way of thinking) somewhere trying to figure out where you went wrong. Don't you all believe that Sen. McCain and Gov Palin know whats is best for them to say for themselves. i realize That Sen Obama and Sen Biden are not looking for someone to point the finger at all the time. Obama stated his cliam last night with numbers. McCain flirted with our thinking by saying things that has been provened wrong. Neil Slavery ended when people started to make their own decisions. Slavery does not discriminate, controls anothers ability to think for themself
- Miss SarahSarah is the one my heart goes out to...she is out there with all claws out fighting the good fight for a guy who doesn't seem to really want to fight...she is not a quitter but I wouldn't blame her if she said..heck with this, I'm out here being called everything but a lady and it all seems for naught..I'm goin back to Alaska...wish we could reverse it so that she's running for President...Thanks
- Day after the debateNeal, I love your show and have listened for a long time. Couldn't get thru to talk with you this morning, but I have three points I'd like to make: 1) Less than 12 months ago, you raked John McCain over the coals--you didn't even like him. Now, you're drooling over him like he's the best thing since sliced bread. What happened to Neal the Libertarian? 2) You're taking on the persona of Sean Hannity--you are promoting hate. So what if Mr. Obama had an affiliate who made a mistake a long, long time ago. Obviously, Mr. Ayers was legitimate enough to be hired by a university and teach our children. Someone forgave him. 3) You have mentioned on your show before that you are friends with Ludacris. Does that mean that you agree with gangsta rap and all that it stands for? Of course not. Come on Neal--get back to being the person you really are.
- Day after the electionWow Neal , first time tuning in at this time of the day...and not liking hearing that you have conceded the election to Obama...here I am looking for some king of hope. I'm discouraged and wanting so much to believe that the silent majority will shout big and loud on Nov. 4th. What can we do to negate the media bias?
- Dale LundsborgNot meant for Boortz, but was the only place I found Dale's name. Want to be able to respond to those sending lies about Obama's appearance on Meet the Press, saying that he dislikes national anthem because of the bombs, and his choice of replacement to same. Also his refusal to pledge to the flag.It is ridiculous but being sent to me by Reoublicans...who I would have thought were intelligent people!
- Obama voted against a bill in Michigan?Did I miss something? I just heard Neal say (12:41 PM, October 7) that there was a bill in Michigan requiring MDs to try a save the life of an infant born alive despite efforts to abort it. He went on to say that Obama voted against that bill? Was it a Federal bill? If not, he could not have voted either way because he has never held office in Michigan.
- You just can't make this stuff up...Let's discuss some Keating 5. You're killing a good deal of airtime (your airtime so it's certainly your right but...) and not presenting any balance. Give light and let the people find their own way.
Also, give a gander to Sunday's Face the Nation. I think all of this will make many, namely Palin, pipe down a tad with the Ayers talk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G8C4Y93Ugk - What's the point on the right to vote?Let me understand your opinion to be that Why are we going out of our way to ensure that those whom are qualified to vote are atleast registered?This idea in your opinion is ridiculous!History would agree with you because just a few short years ago African-Americans were that group that people were going out of their way to help.Your argument today would echo their's then.Why allow former slaves the right to vote? They can't read!What's the point!They really aren't human! They aren't good for anything!We are wasting our time,because they are savages.By the way there is no right to vote in this country!What's most troubling is your beleif in exclusion rather than inclusion in the electoral process. If they shouldn't be allowed access the questionwill then shift as to who will be allowed to vote.What would the qualifications be?Would it be people who agree with you. Perhaps some type of test should be given that way if they pass their rights would be enacted! The overall fact is that registered voters are just that,it doesn't guarantee they will vote.In many cases history has proven that voter turnout even among registered voters is pathetic at best.It is mainly a case that many people don't care one way or the other but you and many others beleive that they shouldn't have the right in the first place.After all we are the Greatest Country On The Earth,so why should we do what we preach to the rest of the World! *Sidenote* We liberated Iraq, Afhghanistan,What about Haiti,genicide in Africa and a host of other foreign countries that are all but forgotten that is the main reason we are looked at as a nation of Hypocrites! After all we say one thing and turn around and do another!
- Obama Flag & Anthem comments on Sundayis this for real'???.. If so, how is this not ALL over the news'!!!
- Bleeps & BlundersPalins philosophy is the same as Dick Cheneys. Both of them have their own agenda, to deatroy America. They have this one clear pathetic vision Dick is good for the middle class. Watch as they throw the tired ole kitchen sink method back in by attacking using Richard Wright AGAIN, and again, and again, and again. While McCains numbers start to decrease AGAIN, and again, and again and again.
Forget the tracking polls. Go to, factcheck.org - Illegal ImmigrationI find interesting that illegal immigration is not being addressed in this election by either party, but Gay marriage is, please explain.
- McCainMcCain have let us down. He has no fight left as he has went off his rocker to the left with Al Gore
he might as well trow in the white towell and say I quit and save us the time to even go and vote, for someone that don't to be president anymore, He will be lucky to carry 5 states that includes Ga going for Hussein Obama - wall street bail outyour comments re ajc @ issue, pg.13, 10/03 " make wall street finance bailout through user fees, by cary ichter " ??? would inform listeners that don't read. idea could be implemented after passage of bill??
- Palin-Biden Debate TricksNeal,
Did you notice, whenever Biden was talking last nite, the camera was on him only and when Palin was talking the screen was split and showed Biden's laughing and smirking? This was almost the entire debate. It was like the cameraman was told to discredit her and distract viewers by always showing HIM whenever she was speaking. Everytime, for most part, whenever Palin was trying to make her point Biden gave the viewers the "OK let the little girl Gov. flap her gums...but she hasn't anything credible to say"....
Although the moderator was fair...the media tried to control the validity of Palin's statements and make them look worthless. When Biden spoke...you never saw Palin's reaction to his statement. - VP debateJoe Biden proves again he hasn't an original thought. He praised Obama, said little about himself. He attacked McCain,who was not there to defend himself. He whimpered about Bush, who is not running in this campaign. Biden shows himself to be a whisp of wind like faint lingering smell of some guy with b.o. who just got off an elevator before you got on. Palin did well.
- And the Winner.....Biden for SurePalin lost the debate - point blank. You can dress it up anyway you like, but she flat-out LOST. Not much substance just rambling,and not answering questions.

http://market-ticker.denninger.net/ - Gov. Palin's interview/debate "skills"Despite the hostile environment that has been apparent in the network interviews, Gov. Palins honesty is the one quality that distinguishes her superiority in the content of her responses. The "authorities" of Network news equates her "flubs" as inexperience thus disqualify her as a serious choice.
Really? What I see is her "inexperience" to dance around a question and avoid issues with the highly skilled ability found in her careered opponents. How refreshing!
The day I sit through an interview/debate and watch Gov. Palin avoid an answer with the skill of Sen. Obama, Sen. Biden, or heaven forbid, Sen. Kerry, is the day head for Alaska and consider camping as a permanent lifestyle in order to be as far away from Washington, DC as possible. JK Mullis, NY - reply to By Rachael Ross @If Palin sickens you by allowing overcrowded heards of wolves to be shot in Alaska - why would you support a man who votes and supports birthing a baby's head, then sticking a knife in the brain to kill it? It is called Late Term Abortion in the 8 and 9th month?? Also, he supports not giving medical assistance to babies born alive in botched abortion attempts??But you complain about wolves being shot???What does that say for your moral character???
- EconomyI am so tired of the threat of what will happen if this bailout fails -- I say bring it on now - let's take our medicine now and show that we are ALL that we as Americans are supposed to be - I remember when there were NO credit cards, very limited ways to over extend yourself - what is so awful if you have to wait till you can afford it before you buy it - What do people with any personal responsibility do when there is a bump in the road - they work through it -- THEY MAKE DO !!!!!!

- NO BAILOUTHow about we take 1/2 the $700B, send out a check to everyone over 18, suspend capital gains taxes for 1 year, let them pay off their bills, mortgages, etc., stimulate the economy, then tax them on the amount they received. This would get the economy back on track, plus put a huge amount of $$ back into the economy & government coffers. That way, everyone benefits.

In exercising the authorities granted in this Act, the Secretary shall take in consideration the utility of purchasing other real estate owned and instruments backed by mortgages on multifamily properties.
If you get rid of all the boiler plate, it says
Secretary shall purchase multifamily properties.
Why is the governement buying apartment buildings. I have been in the business for 12 years and have bought several apartment properties and overpaying is the problem of the owner and the property should be sold at absolute auction by the mortgage holder. You can buy houses in Atlanta for $20K you should be able to buy Apartments at $10K a unit not at the $50K people paid 2 years ago. - Georgia Gas ShortageNeal, use a blend of supply and demand.
Rather than allow service station owners to charge whatever they want, allow them to implement minimum purchases. If the minimum charge was $40, the consumer would pay $40 whether they put in 2 gallons or 10 gallons. This would eliminate topping off tanks. - Dave RamseyNeal, you hit the nail on the head when you said Dave Ramsey was only on the radio to sell his cd's and books. My son, his wife and myself went to one of Dave's seminars. It was 5 hours long. Count in the time you drive (45 minutes) to and from, no drinks, even water, were allowed. That was ridiculous. Then after 2 hours he started selling his "stuff". He was putting his books on the stage for everyone to see, having his people run up and down the aisles selling, and where the concessions should have been (only drinks would have been wonderful), he had tables set everyone selling. No one could go out the doors. If they did, his people wouldn't let them back in. Some guys wanted to smoke a cigarette but they were told they couldn't. (Probably good for their health anyway.) The whole attitude of his people was so bad that we left after 3 hours and followed a lot of people out who were also disappointed. Dave is just out for the money. What a disappointment. We have always loved his show!
- HOW TO LOWER THE COST OF THIS BAIL OUT LOANYOU PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE LAYED OFF FROM THEIR JOBS. WELL SINCE WE ARE NOT ABLE AT THIS TIME TO FIRE EVERYONE IN THE US CAPITAL. MY IDEA IS TO LAY EVERYONE OFF IN THE SENATE AND CONGRESS AT NO PAY WHATSOEVER FOR 1 YEAR. JUST HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THINK COULD THE TAX PAYERS SAVE ON THE BAILOUT LOAN IF WE TOOK THEIR PAYCHECKS AWAY FROM THEM FOR 1 YEAR AND PUT IT ON THIS BAILOUT LOAN?
- Insure CDO/MBS vs Buy $700B in Bad DebtI support the House Republicans plan.
I do NOT support the Paulson and the Dems plan.
The problem is NOT liquidity - the Fed has been adding liquidity (and devaluing the dollar thus increasing the price of oil) for over a year.
It is a symptomatic problem - not a causal problem - that the credit markets are frozen. The credit markets are frozen means the ask price of MBS and CDOs are much higher (spread) than the bid price - thus no one is buying bad debt. The causal problem is the price of risk / return. Buyers of the bad debt have plenty of money / liquidity to buy this "bad" debt which does have a minimum value - since there is a piece of land or home at the end of each MBS / CDO piece of commercial paper.
Adding more liquidity will only execerbate the inflated prices of MBS and CDO already paid - this is inflation on top of inflation and this will cause more devaluation of the dollar which contributes to the trade deficit and cost of living / products / services.
So what is the answer - insurance. The government should NOT BUY the bad debt of banks at inflated prices - which is what Paulson would do for his buddies on Wall Street. The government should insure trasnactions for a minimum price (value) after being paid a premium - just like title insurance companies insure warranty deeds or car insurance companies do (replacement value) or just like the FDIC (FD Insurance C) did for WaMu last night.
The FDIC taking over WaMu and JP Morgan Chase coming in with plentity of liquidity and buying WaMu overnight - and - WaMu opening for business just like normal this morning PROVES THIS IS THE CORRECT APPROACH.
The House Republicans have the correct solution (insurance and maybe some loans), that being to expand the authority of the FDIC (or maybe give the Fed or Treasury the authority - although I personally don't trust Paulson or Bernake) to insure MBS and CDO commercial paper TRANSACTIONS. The beauty of this plan is the government gets paid UP FRONT and only if a security defaults below the price value insured at some point in the future, does the government pay out anything. - $700 Billion ChaosWhy arent we hearing anything about mortgage loan changes? How about
No more adjustable mortgages
No more no money down mortgages
Revisions to income requirements to get a loan
To stop the origin of this chaos how about freezing home / business adjustable rates or roll back to where they started and extend the loan duration to make up the difference? - foreclosure reliefThough I am not an economist, IF mortgage holding institutions would: *renogiate with homeowners facing foreclosure by reducing their mortgage and interest rate to a level the homeowner could handle AND
*set up a repayment plan for the missed monthly payments at a new and lower rate, would the mortgage holders be better off AND the homeowners still be able to keep their homes? THEN, the other tax payers would not be footing the bill for the financial institutions that dropped the ball OR the homeowners who were so greedy or ignorant as to enter the original deals. - You have my voteJust an additional comment here - if you ever decide to run for president, you will have my vote. Hey, if Fred Thompson can run, why not Neal Boortz?
- Secret TerroristsHello,
I was turned on to your show by my dad, a retired Colonel, and I must say I can see the appeal it has for those of us not stultified as of yet. The item of which I would love to see your response after a good perusal is a book made free by the wonders of the net called "The Secret Terrorists" by one Bill Hughes. I have included the link which hopefully works. While I read this thing very sceptically at first, there are too many details to be ignored, and proper research has shown me all the facts fit together well - especially those regarding the Titanic sinking with 5 of the wealthiest men of their time on board, all who were opposed to the Federal Reserve act that was passed about a year later. It is especially important to remember where the owner of that ship died - JP Morgan died - in Rome.
Here is the link: http://www.pacinst.com/terrorists/preamble.html - Bailout meetingJohn McCain did his best when he told us that the economy was "fundamentally sound." And how is the economy now? He will certainly be the one who can ensure the best for the American people. As for his opponent, lets see who shows up PRESENT to the presidential debate on Friday....
- Regarding the bailout meeting today with CongressJohn McCain is going be there to reach across the aisles to both Democrats and Republicans alike to ensure the best for the American People which apparently by his experience he is the one that can do this best. Obama will be there to vote PRESENT.
- Neal YOU are the foolIn the course of less than two minutes (around 11:30am today) You said Obama supporters were "stupid", those who had Obama yard signs were "foolish" and suggested Obama supporters would commit a felony if you had a McCain bumper sticker on your car. You can (and do) disagree but you are way over the line in your comments about Obama supporters. I wish WSB would dump you.
- Re:Government Schools and The UnionsNeal,
Please comment on the fact that Sarah Palin's children attend 'Government Schools' and the fact that her husband is a member of a 'Union'. I know that you have disdain for both! - Sat. Night LiveSNL - Incest Never funny !!!
- Homeschooling attendanceWhat was your comment for parents on attendance records and maybe being arrested for not turning in attendance records? Thanks for the full report
- Better than music radioI'm 19 years old, and have been mistaken for being up to 28 because I'm one of the few that try to make something of myself. I work for an electrical contractor as a project manager and was introdused to your show while with another manager. All my CDs have been left at home, my radio doesnt leave AM 750. Not only do you amuse me, but you defend whats reasonable. You are relentlessly blunt, and I love you for it.
- legislation neededKudos, Belinda. I am Senator Mark from the Great State of Mississippi. You are to be commended for raising such an alarm about the insidious dangers of Crocs. To prevent injuries similar to that which occurred to your precious wittle boy's footsie, I am introducing Senate Bill 1340 that will require anyone traveling on escalators in the United States to wear steel-toed safety shoes approved by OSHA. Belinda, you are a national hero for championing this noble cause. You embody the ideals of dumbassification and wussification espoused by Neal Boortz.
- Great ShowNeal,
Great Idea to have the GOV. on the show. He did an amazing job and kept things fun and moving. Thank's for getting only the best to "REPLACE" YOU...HEHE
Your Fan Glen. - Mike HuckabeeNeal, I'm a fan. Please invite Mike Huckabee back when you need some time off. I really enjoyed the show with him filling in for you. Thank you for all the hard work that you've done for the FAIR TAX.
- McCain PalinThere are a lot of ill-informed liberals promoting the Obama Socialist Change platform by knocking McCain & Palin. First-off the animal lovers can rest assured that killing wolves by air is necessitated to reduce the wolf herds. There are too many of them that they are starving, and attacking and killing bears and moose that are used for food. People do not eat wolves.
Obama wants to take money away from individuals that excel and and are successful to give to others who have made bad decisions or don't care at all and wants the govt to take care of them. - John McCainPlease listen to this for yourself, Georgia. If John McCain was such a POW hero, would he really need to "toot" his own horn so much? Wasn't it also curious to anyone that Obama had a whole stage full of Generals from all branches of the military while McCain had to "search" for two special forces soldiers in plain clothes at his convention. If you call making over 30 pieces of propaganda for the Vietnamese being a war hero..that is a slap in the face of the real heroes. If McCain wins you will all get what you deserve.
Guess who opposed this bill, that's right, it was John McCain!!!

- Govermor PalinI really wanted to vote for McCain but after hearing that Ms. Palin made laws easier to kill bears and wolves from airplanes sicken me. She and her extremely cruel friend shoot the wolves in the back several times and let them die a horrible painful death while suffering from the gun shot wounds. They do it in the winter because the wolves and bears have no place to hide. She is a very sick women with no heart if she can do this and pass laws so that it is easier to do such a barbaric act. Killing a moose, not letting it suffer and eating the meat is one thing. she is no better them people that fight dogs. She kills for the fun of it and lets the animal suffer. I have been working my whole life trying to help animals so as much as I would like to vote for McCain I can't knowing that a extremely cruel asshole is his running mate. She makes me and many of my friends sick. 5A
- What a CROC !!Sweet little innocent Belinda...yeah right. She is no different that the idiots on TV saying "Ken got me a check"! I suppose if your child wrecks his bike and breaks an arm, its the fault of the bicycle manufacturer? My wife slipped in the driveway last year walking to the mailbox...so I should have sued the Post Office for not bringing the mail to my door! Is anyone surprised that Boortz is defending this ridiculous lawsuit? Belinda....you are a shining example of whats wrong with this country! Blame everything on someone else! And if you can get a big paycheck in the process while proclaiming "Its NOT about the money"..all the better. You should be ashamed. I hope you, your husband, and your lawsuit get tossed out of court on your country-bumpkin azz!
- nealAll of you are expressing surprise at neal, he's a whore! remember when he was on the "ex-wife" and stated over and over he would NEVER work at wsb!!! then they waved another dollar an hour at him and all you saw was his ass and elbows!!! bill campbell had it right when he told neal ON HIS SHOW "when neal represented evander he lived in an apt on lenox road, when he changed lawyers, he built his mansion!!! how about the worthless car dealership neal and his buudy ken sanders sold holyfield??? boortz is a whore, simple as that! how can anyone express shock at his latest flip-flop? that's why he won't discuss abortion, he cannot defend his position. now if he reads this on air, he'll correct typo's I make, not the substance. have a nice day neal!!!!
- skelton's suitConsidering that all escalators have a warning about what type's of shoes that shouldn't be worn on the machine , I then must conclude that Belinda nor her husband can read. And considering that her boss attacks ANYTHING that HE considers frivolous on his radio show, then he's nothing more than a HYPOCRIT and also a cheapskate if Belinda and her husband must resort to this for money. Are we now going to hold the company's that make backpacks for our children's school books responsible for scoliosis. GIVE ME A BREAK PEOPLE. Now people get to sue because they WON"T buy their child a DECENT pair of shoes. I understand why the homeless have these croc shoes ,but not people who earn a PAYCHECK.
- It just ain't right!If people were watching the child as they should have on an escalator it wouldn't have happened. Have you heard the statement video recorded of the young black man who is saying that he is the father of Palin's daughter's baby? And they won't let him have a part in the baby's life but he won't stop until he does?
- Croc ShoesThere are many reports of injuries to children, wearing the Croc Shoe.
I believe, these children should receive fair compensation for their medical bills and pain and suffering. - crocsShame on you Belinda! How ridiculous is this? I am sure you have insurance to cover the costs of your son's care. Guess what? Sometimes bad things happen and it is nobody's fault. I do not feel my total contempt of this has ANYTHING to do with my feelings one way or another for Neal. (It is not always about you big boy) Where does this end? Neal constntly preached against things like this. If Belinda had been a caller he would still be ridiculing her yet because it is Belinda he defends it. PLEASE!!!!
- re: unbelievable lawsuitOk. I should have spell checked my previous response (where vs wear), but I hope everyone got my point. This is incredible.
Approx a year ago, Neil told his audience that there was this terrible story about a family that had let their child (8 yrs old) become obese and the federal govt. should take the child from the family......Now, ask yourself....how libertarian does that sound? I quit listening at that point and only listened today because my Sirius was inop.
Belinda's actions are the same. Nobody on this show is for less govt. Their just for different govt.
It isn't the same. - Croc LawsuitI heard Neal's rant today defending Belinda regarding the Croc lawsuit. I really think that this is gold-digging through a frivolous lawsuit. Where is it that Crocs state their product is a "safety shoe" like steel toe work boots etc... The issue here is lack of parenting by Belinda for not makiing sure the child steps off the escalator properly. I have a 5y/o, and we reach the end of the escalator, I "lift" her enough so that she avoids this. That means I as a parent have to remain attentive and aware.
Neal, your true colors shine through, even on radio in this instance. Why not drop the hypocricy and "kick" in your own money if you are so concerned about this childs' future. - Belinda (Show me the money) SkeltonI heard your show today and I can't believe you were defending Belinda. She endorses more products than any other WSB personality I have ever listen to. She has a history of profiting from her life experiences, such as needed eye surgery or home ownership. Now she is using her son's accident as a opportunity for more money. I do not see how you can defend her for suing Croc. The shoe was not made defective. They did nothing wrong. She is going after Croc because that is where the money is. Should the makers of dress shoes be required to put warning labels on the shoes stated that they should not be worn on slick, waxed floors? I can only image the warning labels that will now have to accompany spiked heels. Maybe they will have to be banned. If my wife was as immoral as Belinda, I could be a very rich man. Her 4" heel broke as she ran for Marta 2 months ago. She fell flat on her face, but never considered suing the shoe manufacturer.
- LawsuitsI knew the coffee was hot from McDonald's, but not THAT hot! I'm suing!
- KrocsI feel bad that a child was injured. However, it is the parents responsibility to watch their children. I have always been wary of my kids riding escalators regardless of what type shoes they wear. I just don't think you can place the blame anywhere other than the parent supervising them. You weren't watching your child close enough that day and unfortunately he was terribly hurt. Krocs may be dangerous in some circumstances but alot of things in this world are dangerous and we must be cautious. And Neal, your rant this morning without taking calls on it was absurd. I realize this issue is close to home for you and you feel protective of Belinda but I think you're being hypocritical about this issue.
- If you take a pig and add lipstick and it is still a PigSo don't that mean that a person named Hussein/Hussain regardless of his, I'm a Christian claim, is still a Muslim? How about it Mr Obama?
- It's not Belinda's lawsuit!Its her husbands! What a joke, why try and keep it quiet by filing in Mr Meyers name if she feels she is in the rightand worthy of this settlement. If I felt I deserved $2 million for something that happend to me I would be posting my case on billboards along I 75 stating my case, not hiding behind a different name. Especially when you have a radio station to use as your soapbox...this case is weak and its all that is wrong with this country, Boortz is a HYPOCRITE for his defense of this and has lost all credibilty.
- Crocs Suit = A Real CrockUnbelievable, all we hear from the product endorsing whore (Neal) is "personal responsibility".
It this was anybody but an employee, he would be all over them, like white on rice!
Belinda and you both should be ashamed of yourselves.
But you probably aren't, and therin is the problem. - Crocs suitGiven the security at the airport, surely there's a video of the incident caught on a surveillance camera? So that we can see for sure that the child was doing what he was supposed to (standing still), and not dragging his feet along the side as I've seen countless other kids do, while the parents carry on oblivious to it all.
Only when their kids get hurt do they then jump up in arms over the whole deal, and fire off a lawsuit quicker than anything.
Apparently this is the first suit filed against the manafacturer of crocs but it's started a chain event as I've recently read that another parent filed a similar suit last week.
Another nonsence suit! And another hypocrite exposed! - Croc o Sh## lawsuitFire your scumbag producer.She and her husband must be dire financial straits to come up with this frivolous lawsuit.
- crocs suitThis suit is not about protecting kids. It is about money as all lawsuits are. There is not an escalator in America without a warning sign on it. Yet every time I am on one I see parents teaching their children to do exactly what the sign says not to do. Just another parent mistake looking to blame someone else.
- You're a hypocrtieI have a little less respect for you today. Its one thing to stand behind your family and friends; its another thing to support Belinda and go after people who disagree with her when you claim to to be the High Priest of the church of painful truth. Shouldn't this apply to Belinda as well. Yes, the accident was tragic, but Belinda has to take responsbility for putting those shoes on Andrew's feet and not paying attention to his actions. I am not saying that a parent has to watch their child at every moment; I am saying that the parent has to take responsbility when something happens to the child because the parent was not paying attention. It is so clear that Belinda is going after the money and she sees deep pockets at Croc. Be her friend, support her throught the medical issues, but don't change your tune because you have a friend and coworker who puts money before principles.
- Unbelievable LawsuitJust so I get this straight, a mother that happens to work on a radio talk show where ALL THE HOST DOES is preach individual responsibility is now suing a "shoe" maker because she let HER child where inappropriate footware through the airport. Am I missing something.......other than a $2M reason? She should be let go immediately. And her comment that "now you know who your friends are" was completely illogical.
Way to go Neal...you hired a real winner that has finally showed her true colors.
I think I'll go dump coffee on my lap so I can sue McDonalds, but only to ensure that they 'put a warning on the side of the cup'. It would never be about the money. - What a CROC!What happened to standing against nonsense lawsuits?
What about responsible parenting? What else needs warning labels? Everything? How about children?
Shall we take escalators out of the airport? Ban them completely?
If 'it's not about the money,' then ask for the labels and one dollar, to make a point. - Crocs LawsuitI don't know what Crocs are and don't care. Whenever a product is defective, and we buy it trusting and expecting it to work properly, then U care, especially when kids are involved. Go for it Belinda!
- Crocs lawsuit - right on BelindaI support Belinda in this. Thank you Neal for taking on these idiots, who flip out, when we parents are looking out for our kids. Crocs knew about the possibility of injury for 3 years, and never placed a warning to parents in the shoes. There is at least a warning on Play-doh for goodness sakes', why not the dangerous shoes???
- Royal is right - Obama has changeAllow current tax breaks to expire which affects even lowest income bracket.. which wil raise their taxes back to 15% instead of current 10%. Also, tax credit on dependants will decrease. Look at IRS tax tables before Bush decrease and currently. Royal - If you feel you are not paying enough in taxes then please donate extra. Leave me out of more taxes. (What a dim-witt!) DO your homework Royal - education/facts are a powerful thing.
NEED help - email me at altonddavisjr@yahoo.com

"Does that mean if you put a monkey in a suit it is still a monkey also?"
Just curious how that works... - Sarah Palin's DaughterIsn't this just like the democrats to take a small story like Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant and trying to blow it up into a major story. Here they are trying to get a man with anti-america associations with the reverend wright ( and lets not forget his wife )and ties to corrupt businessmen into the white house and yet this is what bothers them.
- Sarah PalinThe comments below are why I struggle with even going to church anymore and why there is such a conflict between stay at home moms and working moms. I have worked most of my married life, not because I want to but because I have to. But I have chosen jobs that have given me as much time with my children as possible. I have three very individual and different children. My middle one has been my challenge so I guess I have screwed up too because he made bad choices. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Believe me you do not know how many nights Mrs. Palin has cried, prayed, wondered, and loved her child and finally gave that child to God to say do with her/him as you see fit and know that it will all work toward his good. My, as you christians would like to call him, problem child is enlising in the Navy to serve his country. Now mind your own business and pray that this nation puts a strong, non corrupt mother in the white house to help straighten this country out.
- Sara Palin's daughterI think everyone needs to keep the Palin doughter out of this. Dems everywhere cried and complained when Chelsea Clinton was aked "tough questions" while on the campaign trail. Give this kid a break. In case you haven't noticed, she isn't the first 17 year old to get pregnant. As a mother of an 18 year old girl who was pregnant before marriage, I am happy to see that Sarah is supporting her child.
- WTF in right!Big kid needs something to do besides ramble..
- big kid?1st thing that came to my mind was WTF!
...please shut up. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterPlease read this series of post in order from bottom to top in order to get the flow and metaphors in good sense! ThANKS
- The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterEVERYONE knows that running for office is a "how many skeletons do you have in your closet" ruthelss flaw search. To be so ambitious to disregard your family in order to pursue such a public position is NOT being protective and is ignoring a mother instict that perhaps she doesn't have, or perhaps is too busy to have.
Get your family together--and when they're healthy--IF they agree to run with you then run. Be the conservative you purport yourself to be--and make the pro life decision again. Perhaps the consequences of damaging and embarrasing and making your daughter and her poor decision making infamous is a consequenece that much like her pregnancy and choice in mate is as damaging and damming as your selfish decsion to run for Vice Presidency in the first place.
Selfishness and poor decision making--at least your daughter has 17years worth of excuses--that is not as bad though as having 45 years worth, though. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterEveryone knows the work and stress involved in achieving something so difficult as to be in charge and to be C.E.O. of a company. Most can imagine, but few have ever exerienced in our population the stress and work involved in being a Governor of an entire state. Even fewer--the Vice President and given the reality of McCain's age and health--the potential president of the world's only Superpower. The U.S. Presidency and the U.S. Vice Presidency are not offices for C.E.O.s who are currently running other companies. You can either step down from one and pursue the other--but you CANNOT pursue both. To do so is to committ a crime of negligence against not only your family but on our country. What does it say to other nations that a woman who's business is not being handled and who has clearly neglected her family to some extent, if we allow her to run our country into the same mosh pit of confusion that she has run her family into?
No, it is NOT her action that made her daughter pregnant. And NO I am not saying that is her inaction that made her daughter pregnant-but she hasn't clearly examined that situation well, and has had nearly zero scruitiny in her decision to make her daughter and her other children and her husband and the rest of her family front page news because she ignorantly or stupidly decided to put them there. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterAny idiot can have a baby--look at all of the foolish ones who have, and will. There's no championing and applause needed for that, because any idiot can have an abortion--look into the eyes of all of the women who have so painfully chosen to kill off their children before they get out [of their womb]. Is it better to kill your child before or after they are born?
By being a negletful, selfish parent, you are just as selfish--and in my personal opinion--even more so than a woman who aborts her fetis. It doesn't matter if you buy a nice house, or a fancy car if you are too lazy to take care of it--it will be a waste--because it will blossom into an ugly old stinky house, and your car will eventually break down.
Anyone can start a family, but it takes hardwork and a lot of neglect to our dreams to raise one. Would anyone want to brag on a singer who chose to start a family, but when the inkling and opportunity to be singer arose--she abandonned her children, and left them to fend for themselves, in order to pursue her "dreams."
What happens to a dream deferred? In this case, even Langston Hughes would agree, I think, that sometimes a dream can only responsibly be put on hold--or deferred when one choses to put buns in the oven. You cannot have your cake and eat it too always.
Plenty of responsible women defer motherhood to realize their dreams--and perhaps they may (I do not know) regret doing so when they see women with their families. But at I personally applaud these women who recognized that if they want to realize dreams, and accomplish goals, it would be a bit more polite to a family to do so BEFORE you start one. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterThough a regress, I say this to highlight the tattered garment in our conservative thiniking collectively as a whole--only because it is patched by a perfect, shiny, and Superior standard--aka our God Jesus Christ. When comparing our conservativeness to the rest of the world--it is important that our garment be as clean as it's standard. Otherwise, when holes are found in our life's argument, then our patch or badge of conservativism will only bring on a slew of disdain and hatred toward our human imperfection.
According to some like, Sean Hannity, or nearly ANY republican elected official or constituent--it could be subconsciously believed that to err is human, to be conservative--divine. But if so, then be divine in your practice of your Christian and conservative beleifs--one of the most important being family.
As a woman--you can do anything a man can do. But as a mother, you have elected to serve a constituency called your family--and in doing so, it is irresponsibly ambitious and selfishly too remiss to put family aside for career. There is NOTHING progressive, or liberatingly femistic about being a "career woman" if you doing so leaves you negligent to your first chosen responsibility of being a mother! If your family is ailing, you must percieve this and if your children are in NEED of some guidance then as being "pro life" you need to take heedful responsibility in nurturing, raising, and enstilling those "conservative beliefs" into your OWN household before you go out and drill it into someone else's [household]! - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterWhat good is it to brag about your "Conservative Values" and boast on your "Conservative Principles" of having a down-syndrome baby (and when did we start championing mothers and applauding them for not terminating their allegedly less than perfectly potentialed tennants of their wombs? Her 17 year old's mentally functions higher than that of a 17 year old with Down Syndrome--but look at the effect of her high-functioning brain's actions. Based on the sickening applause that our Nation has reapedly given Mrs. Paulin for not aborting her "lower functioning brained child" as if children who are not born "perfect" in the eyes of our socieities retarded value system--it is apparent that even though, children with Downs tend to be full of joy, of peace, and throughout their lifespan most closely mirror the meek and forgiving eyes of Jesus with their slow to judge and slow to turn their nose up to look down on others...given the outroar of kudos for such burdensome peoples to term--I suppose that brain function potential and looks are of higher regard in a preganancy than sweetness and childlike acceptance.
Everyone champions Paulin for not aborting her less than perfect in life-potential measures but no one seems to see the irony in the hardship brought on by raising "high functioning" brained children. Although Downs babies are not seen as "smart" as "normal" infants--they sure make less "stupid" mistakes that "normal teenagers" make. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterI know as a "child" (as in the child of someone who's a parent I mean) of someone else, that my decisions and the consequences thereof soley rest upon my shoulders. However, I am FAR removed from 17 years of age and the juvenilistic thought process that come with such a short span on this planet. I do NOT blame Governor Paulin for her daughter's mistakes however, I do NOT think that she is out of the realm of that nurture role in which perhaps--as an athlete who excels only on the field, and his grades suffer for it--Mrs. Paulin's extracurricular success only further frustrates the failure of her first and foremost company--her family.
If her family where a stock, I, as a shareholder would be very disappointed with this yeild. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterWhen a person runs for office--they know that the must be wholey ready for the intense scruitiny and trial by jury of the media, of the people, and of the competition. When a person with a family runs for office--they know that their family must by wholey ready for the intense scruitiny and trial by jury of the media, of the people, and of the opposition.
When an ambitious man (or in this case, womand) ignores the obvious fragilty of their home environment and it's members it is like inviting the entire WORLD into your dirty house. In keeping with the words of Jesus (and hypocritcally so--for I am in peril with my obedience to my faith more than anyone else I've mentioned) you must first take the log out of your eye before you are clearly able enough to see and remove the spec from your brother's [eye].
I do not have a problem with political ambition, because I think that a certain type is needed to get things done for that field. However, I do have a MAJOR problem with parents--mothers who abandon their children. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterThat is as backwards as starting one business, then neglecting it and running it poorly (in business--when your business starts to fail, the fault does not rest on the employees--it rest on the managers! Yes, the employees may be incompetent, ignorant, and slow to consider the long-run consequences of their actions--but YOU are in charge as the manager, as the C.E.O. and YOU groomed, and where the sole-instiller of beliefs in the culture and ways of doing things in YOUR company. It is IRRESPONSIBLY AMBITIOUS to FAIL at running one business because you were spending TOO much time in another, less important--SUPPLEMENTARY career field.
If a person puts on a tattered old coat with a hole in it, and upon discovering that there is a hole--decides to patch up the hole with a brand new shiny, superior fabric--it only makes the entire outfit look ALL THE WORSE as the new and shiny fabric brings into scrutiny even worse the already bedraggled garment by highlighting with such a nearby comparison the faults of the outfit that could have been forgivably dismissed where they not unneedly placed under so revealing a spotlight. Knowing that your children are in need of YOU and MORE OF YOU is inherent and should be a little less than instinctively alertive in the conscious of any loving mother. - The "issue" of Sarah Paulin's daughterHow can these same people who allegedly put "family first" re-act so disgustingly and ambitiously to the "issue" of Sarah Palin's daughter?
What kind of America do I live in, what kind of "Conservatives" are these that, when a woman's family is in disarray--and perhaps this woman has been standing up to powerful men in her own party, perhaps this woman has had the "guts," "chutzpah," and "bravery" that has been attributed to her to do all of the things she has done and at such a "young age." Perhaps she has been a great C.E.O. type for her constituency but all of that means nothing if the people she united under a ring and before God (her choice in getting married and creating a family) and brought into this world (her children) are suffering.
Her choices make her human. And her choices are allegedly at odds with these "Conservative Beliefs."
Excelling in politics IS a feat--and she should WELL be commended for it--however, if an athlete excels on the field and then does poorly in class so much so that all of the time and energy he has worked so diligently at and in earnest in doing well on a field--if it is at the cost of his education--his main purpose for being in school...then the "extracurriculars" of sport have been warped and flipped-flopped his purpose as a student and he has slowly turned into an athlete with school and education becoming the extra-sport--the supplementary club. - Sarah Palin's Daughter "issue"How WARPED our thinking is, young Padawans.
Primer: In between and prior to thinking independently--I've mainly voted Conservative throughout my voting career. However, I do NOT vote by party lines. I abhor most "liberal" ideas and viewpoints because I typically find the "emotional" argument base of appealing to a certain mindset--rather than speaking the truth--annoying.
With that said, I do NOT think that ANY of God's people are perfect--and DEFINITELY NOT better than any other creations of He. But this is not typical of Sean Hannitian, and other "Conservative Radio" personalities.
I know that the shtick is to tick people off, sprinkle some facts on top of some opinions and get people revved up whether on one side or the other of a passionate debate.
However, championing "Conservative Beliefs" and "Conservative Principles" that I'm assuming stem from a Judaeo-Christian belief system--aka from the Holy Bible--where are the Conservative viewpoints of Jesus when these people put down others and un-meekely and un-humbly puff up themselves touting their superiority to a fallen America due to liberals? - the hildebeastwatch hillary go into action? that sir just about made me puke.What a hideous scene to envision.if she ever got one of those tree stump legs on a man,it would crush him.If it didn't crush him,rest assured it would make him lose interest in life.alright-just whose camel toe would you rather see? the hildebeast's or sarah palin's? there you go-------you got to enviion something like that THEN cast that vote.Palin by a landslide.
- Sarah Palin vs HillaryYou think that Hillary is going to let Sarah Palin upstage her and put Palin in the running to be the first women president... your dreaming, watch Hillary go into action
- Sarah PalinFantastic!
Just took the steam out of the DNC. - Jim Santoro - Weather ChannelTonight I was listening to Jim Santoro's description of Hurricane Gustav's growth and direction. He mentioned that it potentially could hit the Gulf coast and could be a very strong hurricane. Then he added that if you are a Republican, you are not interested in hearing about that. Where does that come from? It appears that he is politicizing weather and my reading is that he believes that Republicans do not care about the planet.... There will be all sorts of Americans killed and hurt by any large storm. Why is that kind of commentary necessary?
- why I listen to Glenn Beck onlineBecause you guys can't maintain your stream (prostate problem?). I get to hear anywhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes of Neal and various ads, then it quits. I can start it again and again and again but every time I do I have to endure another Belinda-is-afraid-of-the-dark-thank-you-so-much-Mr-Ackerman spot. I used to think it was my network until I tried the other talk show - it is much more reliable. That's too bad.
- Michelle Obama's speechVery touching but...the Obama'a are not preaching what they practiced. They got to where they are by wanting it enough to WORK for it. How can they espouse a party that says it will GIVE the lower classes an education, health care, more money (by taking away from corporations and the wealthier via higher taxes on them). Democrats, where is your pride, your desire to achieve and succeed especially when the deck is stacked against you, your American spirit?
- cone of silencecone of silence was from "Get Smart", t.v. show. Max and the chief talking.
- How about Podcasts or downloads of Neal's ShowI agree with the comment of dropout on your audiostream. It is annoying. Is there any chance they might Podcast or archive airtime of Neal's shows for download and listening offline? A thirty day archive would be sufficient for most listeners.
- Obama flipflops againIf a new poll comes out tomorrow that says anyone who wears a green polester suit will be the next president then you will see Obama wearing a green polester suit in about 10 minutes.
- Do you know what WSB stands for?Warmonging Sons of Bitches.

Well if you are Insane; then you can vote for McCain. Stupid is as stupid votes! - ObamaWhy Is There a Barrak Hussain OBama Ad on the player to this station? Isn,t that wasting his money?
- Discrimination & RacismNo Americans have been discriminated against more than Native Americans. Funny how people seem to forget all the racism they have gone through.
- Low pants fadIf me not wanting to see someone's a%$ hanging out of the back of their pants makes me a racist, then I guess they got me there.
- Low pants fadIf the women these guys date would quit having anything to do with them until they dressed like they had a mind of their own they would go up where they belong
- sen obama,scomment on gun,s & religeonas soldier i say to the sen.that if not for our gun,s and our religeon an our love of freedom,the sen would,nt be able to run for president of our great nation.
- ObamaIn Response to obama being the anti-christ, perhaps you should look his name up in name meanings, the one i found said...."Flash of Light"-"good-Looking"-"Son Of Prophecy"...No joke scary as hell imo.
- I'm Not FooledIm Not Fooled by the BUSHwhackin Republican SCAM! Are YOU? Drilling in the OCS or Anwar will take years from now. Drilling for Offensive Idiotic Leadership; Drilling for votes. Its NOT going to work. America is NOT going to listen to your OIL Addiction Propaganda.
I print the T-shirts. Please get enlighten -- go to my website: http://sjkenterprise.biz/StevesTs/index.php where I totally rebuke your Stupid Thinking!!! Stupid is as Stupid thinks. Stupidity to Infinity. Welcome to the Republican Party Thinking in the Stupid Box. - radio showvery good. i love all the retards calling you!!! rgds,wolf
- To Just Some GuyIn the words of the Great Almighty Talk Master....Sir, You are and IDIOT.
It is not about hitting a ball. It is as Neal says, supply and demand. If the demand is for a player that can hit the ball 400 feet....the player that can hit the ball 400 feet is worth more than the player that can hit the ball 300 feet. The industry brings in billions and the player makes millions. That is just the way it is. I agree that a PHD "should" make more but there is not a demand from an industry that would warrant a contract for a PHD of millions per year.....sorry. And wealth envy is all you are concerned about. Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton are worth millions but what do they contribute to society? If you want to be a millionaire by hitting a ball then you should work hard, practice, and be the best....the demand for you will be enormous. If you want to be a millionaire with a PHD then you work hard, study, graduate at the top of your class.....and discover a cure for cancer, or lupus, or diabetes or become the CEO of one of those "Evil" corporations that you poor souls so often have to deal with. But stop crying and wetting your pants because some jock makes more than you.
With kindest regards - SHENANDOAH, Pennsylvaniawhat do you have to say about this Neal? because he was illegal...?
- Jamie Dupree****PLEASE TURN HIS MIC UP. I CAN NEVER HEAR HIM****
- Simple EconomicsNeal,
I'm a business person--been in Finance at various companies (some of the ones you referred to) and this gets to the ignorance of the american population. It's not about what you make, it's what you keep. This is why the US gov is almost bankrupt. We all have been duped into running our bottom lines (personal in this case) off of credit ala our big ol' government. If you spend 95% of what you make, you have a 5% margin. No savings. If you spend 50% of what you make and have 50% less over, guess what, you have more room to make $. NOBODY is paying attention because we're too busy listening to the ipod.
BTW, for all the socialist who have an issue, just wait until local governments begin taxing homes at 20% and states double payroll taxes and the consumer has less cash. Then everyone will take out a micro economic book...
I'm amazed at the stupidity of folks...
Shalom - You must read thisplease go to my website: http://sjkenterprise.biz/StevesTs/index.php your on it.
Enjoy - attitudeNeal,
Who pee'd in your Cheerios this morning and made you so nasty. More than usual - Neil BlurtzNeil Boortz, what a doorknob.
I was listening to the show yesterday and happen to hear you giving this caller a beat down for disagreeing with your take on, the salaries of various occupations.
Normally that wouldnt provoke any concern, or response from me at all, however, your response to the caller made me want to reach through the radio and choke you free from that over inflated ego of yours. More to the point, you said the fact is, there are only a few people out there that can hit a ball 400 ft. and for that he should be paid and outrageous salary. Supply and demand. You also said the caller was jealous of the fact that he wasnt making that kind of salary. Now I know thats not word for word how it was said, but thats the jest of the conversation as I heard it.
The fact is, Most male athletes of comparable size and strength can achieve comparable results with training and a high level of determination. That doesnt mean they should automatically be paid some outrageous salary. And by outrageous I mean, A salary thats so large, that the average lottery jack pot pails in comparison. Thats not Jealousy thats a normal response from a normal person. Get a clue. Our society has set the defaults for these types of bonehead decisions and well have to live with um, and through um, but that doesnt mean that people that decide to say something about the right and wrong of it, should take a beat down from the elitist egomaniacs with a stage like yourself. Thanks to people who would think like you. A good portion of our youth will decide not to try for that PHD, or some other degree because they can make more money if they can just hit that ball a little farther than the other guy. Forget the education, PLAY BALL! Thats the answer.
Believe it or not, there are those of us out there who dont make millions of dollars a year, we make an average income and are happy. I only have a problem with egomaniacs like yourself that think, just because you have been successful your field that gives you the right to blurt out your thoughts as to how the world should operate, and insult others
To whom you feel beneath your social class.
My advise to you, Get over yourself! I have - ObammaSince he is called the Messiah ... wonder if he really is the Anti-Christ ... since he's anti-American...and we wants to be the President ....
But of course its all words and all speeches ... (sounds like eats eating leeches) when he talks. - People love to whine (To Phil)I know Ruth (she is a very serious person).. when she says something she means it ....
Sam - GermanyThe last time Germany went this wild was for Hitler
- People love to whine... but they will still listen!I love it when people complain about comments made on your show and tell you that they will never listen to you again. Come on, who you kidding... you know you will tune in tomorrow... its in your nature too. You like being affended and for that fact, I know you will listen again.
- Your comment on July 21, 2008Your comment on the series of Left behind is a bunch of Science Fiction is blasphemy. As a result of your remark I will not listen to you any more... I believe in the rapture and the second coming of Christ. I will tell others about your remark.
- LISTENIS THERE ANY WAY TO LISTEN TO YOUR SHOW LIVE ON MY COMPUTER?
- Foreign acquisition of US businessesI disagree. I think our corporate tax rate does not help our domestic companies be competitive, but I think the real reason for the sell off is that with the drop in the value of the US dollar, they have become a bargain for buyers that hold stronger currencies.
- Change congress to serveWhy don't the people (the "government") insist upon legislation which states that ALL of our government officials must be educated in the field of interest, apply for the position wanted, be interviewed by the public, like any other job?
My suggestion for this "interview" is that "we the people" give each candidate a certain dollar amount for their champagne, allow NO OTHER FUNDS to be used, set several times on PRIME TIME television at the SAME TIME ( all candidates together), put each of them in a SOUND PROOF booth, ask the "same questions" of each one, and give them a certain amount of time to answer. Let the "people" decide what they think about their answers. Then we could vote for the candidate that we feel would represent US, rather than MONEY, POWER, and WHO YOU KNOW, putting a person into the most important positions offered by our country.
PS
To qualify to vote; you must have watched the "interviews". - Fair TaxNeal, I live in Scottsdale AZ and today, on News-Talk 92.3 KTAR, Lori Klein was talking about the Fair Tax movement. She represented your and John Linder's vision very well and I'm so glad to know that AZ is now getting informed on something that we Atlantans have been so fortunate to know about for the past few years. Thank you so much for your wisdom Neal and please keep up the good work. I miss Atlanta and the Neal Boortz show. You are usually off the air before I get out of bed, but I'm trying.
- Shrinking middle classMaybe the reason the middle class is shrinking is that people are unashamed to admit to being "lower class" as opposed to "lower middle" as so many of our parents preferred to consider themselves. Could it be that too many former low middlers are now in their minds just lowers? And is that State of Mind a Red or Blue State...?
- climate changeEarth's elliptical orbit around the sun and the degree of tilt of our planet's axis with respect to its path around the sun, have implications for climate change and the advent of ice ages.

- Interview with Bob BarrWhen he was asked what he would do about the millions of illegals already in our country,he had the same weak answer as the liberals...Not Practical...It's amazing to me that these poor,uneducated,folks can get themselves here,but The Greatest Country In The World can't get them back where they came from.I am sure I am not the only American that's sick of hearing insane and frankly dishonest statements like this from WANABE leaders and the press!
- talk radioTalk radio is the town crier that brings the correct information to the public that allows for the decision to be made. The majority of newspapers in the US interpellate and slant the news rather than report the news as the papers due in Europe. Talk radio holds the candidates accountable for their views other wise they would continue to offer different/slanted view points to suit the needs of their campaign area without being accountable.
- Boortz.com: A Freedom of Speech Issue?Running Firefox, on my GNU/Linux computers, I often find that some un-intended consequences of the major media, (Boortz.com website, seemingly running the convicted monopolist Microsoft idiot ware, for one) causes the browser to be hijacked to a commercial website for :

The link to "a website devoted entirely to dumb laws" is one where clicking on the link sends one to a spam blitz web site that hijacks my browser!

- so much bufferingSince the "improvements" to the website, it's hard to listen online. The transmission keeps "buffering" and I miss half the show.
- Liers & HatersHey! Neal, there are time I listen in and enjoy your show from time to time. Example: The Tax reform for the country, I do hope one day it will be a reality. But these scare tactic you and Hannity come up with Obama are a waste of time. I know you can do better than that. so reform from the gutter where Sean Hannity is because that guy is hopeless and lets stay on the issues. Jam
- Station guideMaybe I am not looking in the right place but I can't seem to find your station guide for your radio show. In Ocala you're on 97.3 til 12:00 noon. When does the show begin and are there neighboring stations to rebroadcast? Thanks
- Thank you so muchHi Neal ... If it wasn't for you, Rush and Hannady... I would never had any information about Obama... plus all the trash that's around him...
I would never knew about his background etc ... plus his true character. Typical politiican with a socialistic/Commie background... I don't care if I am or not PC (politically correct) ... and I will speak my mine about him ... hope others will also. That the whole world will recognize him for what he really is ... a lying opportunist.
Keep on the great work you do. Keith - Theme SongNeal, What is the name of your theme song?
- love your showIm not a redneck going vote for Obama best after the worst this nation has ever had of course I wouldn't swear cause I cannot fly a flag at my condo illegal so take care and God bless Im a united Methodist okay
- your hate of government schoolsI went to the best in Montgomery County, Maryland so please read this on your lovely radio show okay and God bless all esp Blinda and Royal
- streaming audioI agree with Rick, your broadcast goes blank a couple times an hour and I miss some wisdom coming out of my computer.
- Boring ObamaIt's nice to make people aware of the presidential election. Why not address the fuel, outsourcing problems that are destroying the fabric of this country. Most politician can't even stand up or even man up to do what is right for The US. Maybe, we should outsource our government, NUTS! We already did!
- Hi NealKeep on telling the truth and the way it is ... and the way it should be ...
Please keep pushing the fair tax ... it's the only way along with becoming energy independent that our country is going to survive ... even with our politicians becoming/or are road blocks ...
Keep on doing a good job. Keith - Streaming changeSince you changed the website and the streaming audio, the Boortz show keeps dropping out for a few seconds. It will come back on it's own, but I miss conversations, several seconds at a time.
It never used to do that.
