The Fairness Doctrine

I assume most of you have heard about Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, three of the main gurus of conservative TALK RADIO. Their ability to continue on is being threatened by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosie, and her Democratic cohorts. I'll add a Link to the Editorial Page of the Daily Herald containing a Letter I wrote on the Fairness Doctrine that you may like to read. The title of the letter is "Misleading Monicker." I've mentioned to you previously how to use the Link to get to my BLOG. If you need help call or E-Mail me.

Farm Machinery from a By-gone Era


In July of 2008 I made a trip to Richfield to visit a childhood friend in a Care Center following which I drove to my home town of Joseph about 10 miles S.W. of Richfield. On my way I was surprised to see in a field a number of old farm machinery, one of the most interesting was the old Threshing Machine which had to be operated by a long belt from a tractor. The bundles of grain, i. e. barley or wheat had to be thrown into the jaws of the machine with pitchforks - - hard grueling work in the heat of Summer.

A Victim Treats His Mugger Right

Understanding IRAN

This is the first Post in my new BLOG. It pertains to the threat to the world from IRAN, voiced by Michael Ledeen author of "The Iranian TimeBomb," in a speech he gave at Hillsdale College a small conservative university in Hillsdale, Michigan. In one of the closing paragraphs he states,
"As for the question of nuclear weapons, it seems hard to imagine that Iran does not already have them. Iranians are not stupid, and they have been at this for a minimum of 20 years in a world where almost all the major components needed for nuclear weapons . . . are for sale. A lot of these components are for sale in nearby Pakistan. And if the Iranians do have a weapon, it is impossible to imagine that, at a moment of crisis, they will not use it. The pointis we have an implacable enemy which has not intention of negotiating a settlement with us. They want us dead or dominated, just as our enemies did in the 1930's and '40's. You can't make deals with a regime like that.
