Thread: Why The Long Wait on "conservative" Talk Radio

I am self-employed and work all by my lonesome a lot (some say this is good for the rest of the world). So I get to listend to radio a lot and have listened to conservative talk radio for years...I remember when Rush had so few advertisers he had to put fake ads on (Spatula City! For ALL your spatula needs!).

It occured to me when the excrement hit the fan online during the Bush-Kennedy-McCain hearings for the Scamnesty bill that I'd heard little to nothing from almost all of these conservative yakkers (including my own former-favorite here in my local market) about the illegal immigration problem.

Sure, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck to some degree, a few others would mention it in passing, but primarily as a "security" issue (fact: to date, there is no proof that anyone intending to or actually carrying out acts of terror in the US got here through the porous southern border..many have come from Canada, tho...).

Sure, we need to be secure and a leaky border like that one is an issue. But the real issue with that border has nothing to do with al Queda. So why did it take the popular upsurge (from BOTH sides of the political spectrum) among workaday Americans, vian the Internet, to get this topic on the front burner? Why weren't guys like Hannity and Limbaugh on this like dog on a bone, chewing it up for the past couple of years? Yeah, Hannity did the Minuteman thing, but again, he ONLY related this to security, vis-a-vis the possiblity of incursions by terrorists.

No mention of what this invasion is doing to the character of 1/3 of our country, the crime, disease, disorder and cost it brings to the states in the South and Southwest. It's all about "security."

So while we worry over some Ahmed coming in that way strapped with a nailbomb, 40 million Juans and Juanitas come in and alter the very face of American culture and are now a big enough force to be altering the socio-political face of America.

Welcome to Aztlan, friends!

I'd say the border has a lot to do with the threat of al queda. It's military strategy 101, which is study your enemy and find their weakness. I'd say our border is a huge weakness.

Aztan? Not gonna happen amigo.

Gosh, do you think Rush can broadcast freely under the terms of his probation?

Again, why on earth are y'all so blessed angry?

Indeed. But again, there's no proof to date that this enemy is using that border...the other enemy is, and has made at least 30 million incursions into America.

Border security is important, or else the Founders would not have made it such a prominent issue (something our elected officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution seem not to be paying much attention to, which would make them, dare I say it, traitors). But it is not the issue here. Yes, we should secure the border. Against ALL incursions, and by the way, since we can't keep out pregnant Mexican teenaged girls hoping to have their illegitimate children in this country, how are we going to keep out terrorists trained in miltary tactics and survival?

I am angry because my children's country is being taken away from them.

I dunno...seems like a good reason.

I am also angry because the so-called "voices of conservative America," such as Rush and Sean and Beck and the others who supposedly have their collective ear to the ground, seem to be marching lockstep with conservative politicians on this issue, and that is to say, let's throw open the southern border because a number of big money interests want to turn the American working man and woman (and their kids) into serfs and peasants...why should America be any different than say, Mexico, or Peru, or Pakistan or India...?

No anger, just resolve.

The talk radio host I listen to are not saying that Tokie.

Just like "they'll get my gun from my cold, dead fingers...."

And yet, inch by inch, our right to bear arms has been taken away...right now, of course, that's on the back burner...but it will come forward again before too long.

I don't know where you live, but where I live, entire sections of our cities, and sometimes entire towns have been handed over to the illegals. If you don't speak Spanish, you are not welcome there and cannot do business there.

You cannot be hired here, in any of our major school districts unless you speak Spanish fluently. All public documents are printed--by law--in both English and Spanish. We recently had a big blow-up over the accessibility of pornographic Mexican comic books in our public libraries...the "Hispanics" won. The porn stays (because this is what passes for "literature" among Mexico's working classes--I've seen these things, by the way, and while crude and poorly drawn and even more poorly written, they are just that: porn).

The governor of this state and the mayor of the largest city are both very much in favor of an unspoken "sanctuary" policy by which police are not permitted to question someone they stop who cannot speak a word of English and is driving a 1972 Oldsmobile with a Jalisco license plate and six Mexican radio station stickers on the bumper about whether they are here legally.

I've got news for you my friend....a very big piece of this country already IS Aztlan.

I listen to WABC....have it on most of the day. Illegals are frequently talked about. Although today, the main subject is Craig!!!!

That's the problem...they are not saying anything. They are pretty quiet on this, the biggest threat to America as a nation since 1945 (yes, 911 was bad, and in the long-run Islamofascism is a big threat, but this threat is already here, in our cities, destroying our country every day...with the helpf of many Americans).

This should be the front-burner issue for ALL these "conservative" yakkers, but instead it's a "on Friday's final segment..." thing.

Why?

More importantly, why are you still listening to/supporting them? Don't you see they are in the exact same big-money-pockets as the politicos from Bush on down?
