Let me start by saying I've listened to Rush, since way back...Hannity, Savage, Levin, Bortz, Beck, H Cain, Laura I, Michael Reagan, Liddy, and all the rest...all of them....I've heard them all extensively over the years... And I can honestly say after all the years of listening to them, the only thing they have taught me is the art of 'hostility', for the sole purpose of ratings... That's it...other than that...they have taught me nothing about human nature, nothing about politics, economics, math, English, or ethics...zero... I have learned absolutely zero from talk show hosts over the years...other than the art of exploiting peoples political and racial biases for the sole purpose of 'ratings'....profit generating ratings...  Now don't get me wrong...there's nothing wrong with 'profit'... We all want to get rich and prosper...nothing wrong with that. What sets talk radio aside from most businesses though, is that they profit by altering the moods and mindsets of their listeners through subversive suggestions about others legitimately elected to office through Democratic procedures... In other words they feed the biases and prejudices of their target listeners with all sorts of negative news and information that their particular radio demographic wants to hear. They are anything but 'responsible' with the suggestions they put out about others...nor do they want to be...cause again...it's a business...and they all follow certain templates, like a formula, to keep their listeners 'riled up' and wanting more... Anger and hostility and hate, become addictive after a while...your body actually releases chemicals that 'stimulate' the body... To the point that soon reason doesn't even come into play anymore...like wild lynch mobs of the past...once they were all worked up, reason no longer mattered...they were acting on pure emotions. And that's kind of what the talk radio crowd is like...the 'anti President' crowd... There is no 'reason' anymore...just hostility...cause hostility is like a drug...and becomes addictive after a while.  Anger is like a drug...and soon you need more of it to give you the same feeling... And talk radio hosts are like competing drugs, each always trying to out do each other with outrageous commentary...always competing for 'anger addicts' or 'hostility addicts' by becoming more and more outrageous in the things they say and focus on... Back in the day they were simply known as 'Shock Jocks'... Today, their known as supposed 'conservative talk show hosts'...who simply hide under the cover of 'conservatism' to legitimize their 'shock treatment' of others or their listeners... And over the next few pages I'd like to demonstrate how many of them aren't even 'conservative'...not in the least bit, but rather skilled emotional con men/women...who are solely in it for the money..and have learned to use other peoples emotions to carve out quite a good living for themselves... Stay tuned...for there is much more to discuss... |

To me, blind rage and hatred towards a Democratically elected President is not a Conservative principle... But talk radio hosts have turned it into one..  Talk radio hosts have basically turned 'hate' and 'rage' into a 'virtue'.. Why? Because hate and rage or outrage, are amongst the easiest emotions to capture and exploit in others. Again...it's a formula... %5En+e%5E%7B-t%7D+dt+%5C%5C+%3D+%5Cint_0%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D+%5Csum_%7Bk%3D0%7D%5En+%5Cbinom%7Bn%7D%7Bk%7D+(-1)%5Ek+t%5E%7Bn-k%7D+e%5E%7B-t%7D+dt+%5C%5C+%3D+n!+%5Csum_%7Bk%3D0%7D%5En+%5Cfrac%7B(-1)%5Ek%7D%7Bk!+(n-k)!%7D+%5CGamma(n-k%2B1)+%5C%5C+n!+%5Csum_%7Bk%3D0%7D%5En+%5Cfrac%7B(-1)%5Ek%7D%7Bk!%7D.&bg=ffffff&fg=333333&s=0) It's a profit generating formula...and many talk show hosts have mastered it, have mastered their listeners all in the name of revenue...not biblical virtue, but revenue... Key Words and Phrases they use to lure or hook listeners of targeted demographic...  1. Obama 2. Liberal or Liberals 3. The left 4. The main stream media 5. Communism 6. Socialist 7. Democrats 8. Wasteful spending 9. Community organizer 10. Al Sharpton 11. Take back this country or 'our' country 12. Gun right, 2nd Amendment rights 13. Welfare 14. Isreal 15. Radical Islam 16. National debt 17. Taxes 18. Congress 19. Hillary Clinton 20. Illegal aliens or immigrants And that's just a few...but they are words, and ideas that are repeated over and over again by these talk radio hosts...over and over again, repetitively, minute by minute, hour by hour, on their shows...cause they know these words and ideas trigger a response in their listeners...triggers that chemical release, taps into that 'anger' gland...which releases hormones and 'Dopamine'...chemicals that are very addictive to the body... Anger addiction explained...Talk radio hosts know this about you, us...and are skilled at riling up their listeners...cause they know 'Dopamine' is addictive... It's gross what they do, and how they exploit the emotions of their listeners, not out of a sense of right and wrong, but rather out of a sense to generate high add revenue...  Hannity Yet hide their profit driven, self serving agendas, all under the banner of 'Conservatism'...ye ok... Later I will demonstrate that nothing they do or really say is Christ like or Conservative...not in the classic sense anyways... And please remember...it is not good values or conservative principles I'm against... What I'm against and sick of, is how these talk show hosts have raked in millions, by dividing every day, common Americans from each other...all in the name of profit...and not virtue... To be continued... |

 I've listened to talk radio for years and years...I'm no new comer to it, or the personalities behind the mic. But one thing that disturbs me about the audience, not the hosts...cause the hosts love 'playing' the audience...as Rush Limbaugh stated...'It's a business'... So I don't so much fault the hosts, who are like shady Carney Circus workers of long ago, who only got away with as much as crowds stupidity allowed them to get away with...  'Step right up folks, and let me razzle and dazzle you with tricks and verbal gimmicks, all for your cheap, non intellectual entertainment'... Audiences kind of go to the circus wanting, expecting, to be razzled and dazzled by various entertainers...and they've come to expect the same from political talk show hosts. One example of this is how nothing is ever substantiated on Rush Limbaugh's show. Man talks to himself all day long on show, insinuating awful things, and intentions and motives about others, but never having the people he slanders, on his show to dispute anything thing he suggests. Rush Limbaugh, daily, accuses the President, and others on the 'Left' of having the most darkest intent and motives, but he, Rush L, never has them on his show to repute anything he says....why not? To me, that's the sign of a swindler...and a sign of a mentally dead audience...who swallow every word Rush and others in talk radio say, like Jell-o...  Rush and Hannity and Andy Dean and the rest, only get away with what their audience allows them to get away with. It's a skit...a formula...and when callers call up worshiping Rush and Hannity, crying and saying 'Oh you have enlightened me so much'...I just want to...well. Enlighten people to what?, the art of cheerleading for politicians?, the art of slandering others? the art of speaking vile about others they disagree with? Heck, I could learn all that from the streets...Another red flag for me is that nothing is ever 'substantuated'...a caller could call up and say President Obama has 3 eyes...and everyone just believes it. In talk radio There is no critical thinking..., none...it's all based on inflaming biases people already have against others, and using politics or policy as a justifiable, more sanitized reason for 'hating' someone other than just for their color or gender or ect. Nothing is ever substatuated on these shows...they just talk and accuse others, (like a formula) of the most outrageous things, without any rebuttal... Like how Fidel Castro would give 5 hour long speeches about his enemies, and no one ever asked whether any of it were true or not. These shows kind of do the same thing. Anything, anyone, they don't like or disagree with they just generically label a 'Liberal' or 'The left'... Heck...if you're kind enough to pull off the road to help a turtle cross without it getting ran over...to Rush and Levin you're a 'leftist', simply cause you showed kindness to a animal... Again, no critical thinking on these shows...just political propaganda, that not even the hosts even believe...but only do so cause they know it sells...appeals to peoples 'darker biases'...and so why would they stop? Why would they suddenly start being fair, and telling the truth now? Lying and exaggerating and working people up into a frenzy has proven to be profitable. Money and profit over truth and fairness...guess that's the talk radio conservative way... (for the record, I separate, distinguish talk radio brand Conservatism from ordinary, non political type of Conservatism...the two are different, I'll explain later) |

The Left...What is 'The Left?' That term is thrown around so freely on talk radio that it's almost lost it's meaning, or has been redefined in a very self serving narrow talk radio format way. It's one of those 'hook' type of words..(mentioned above) designed to snap to attention those listening who need a steady verbal diet of key words to keep their minds interested in what host is talking about. Just throw in the term 'The left' every now and then...and it will snap Rush, Hannity Andy Dean, listeners back to attention..  The Left...what do they mean by that? Talk radio hosts almost use it in an imaginary made up group type of manner. 'The Left' is kind of like used as a phantom group of people who really do not exist in real society. Cause I just can't ever seem to find 'The left' in my every day life and doings... What I do find is people who are unique and diversified in thought, needs, backgrounds, style and issues. I even know hardcore 'rednecks' who aren't hardcore 'right' on every issue. So this generic lumping of people into 'The left' category only seems to serve talk radio hosts who have come to expect their audiences to be dumb. According to talk radio hosts you are 'The left' if... 1. You disagree with them on any issue 2. Believe in clean water 3. Care about wildlife and animals and preserving nature 4. Have respect for the President 5. Like sports 6. Drive a fuel economy car 7. Have solar panels on your roof  Yes, if you have solar panels on your roof, believe in saving electric bill, believe in clean energy, than according to talk radio hosts you're apart of the 'evil left'... 8. If you avoid hitting animals as you drive down the road... 9. If you're polite 10. If you're not a bigot...than you're 'The left'... 11. If you like going out and partying, drinking, listening to loud music... 12. If you enjoy sox 13. If you smile and are happy with America under current President 14. If you believe in being fair to others... 15. If you smoke weed... 16. If you care about others 17. If you're a guy with long hair or a woman with short hair, you're apart of 'the left'... 18. If you're gay, or lesbian or bi-gendered...than you're apart of the 'evil left'... 19. If you don't own a gun 20. If you don't support Tim Tebow... All these things and more make you apart of 'The Left', according to talk radio hosts... Basically anything that is evil and bad, has been defined as 'the left' according to talk radio hosts... Anything that doesn't serve their purpose is defined as 'The left' by talk radio hosts... Advertiser who refuse to advertise on their shows, suddenly become apart of 'The left' according to talk radio hosts... And their listeners just continue to swallow it all up, and down their throats, like Jello pudding... What a shame, what a sham...

In fairness...I think to talk radio hosts 'The left' represents people who want to use Government to mandate nationwide rules over others to force people to go along with policies they may disagree with.
But in that case...that would make GOP politicians 'leftist' also...cause they to go to Washington DC to write laws that others, all, are forced to comply with whether they want to or not...
To be continued...

Talk radio hosts want their listeners to be in a constant state of depression and anger...it's good for their ratings... Talk radio hosts fabricate the scene, make it look or appear 'dark and grave'...and then pretend to have the solution to what ails their audience. (which is their constant negativity). Like how a drug dealer gets users hooked to one drug, and then later comes by and offers another drug that is 'better' or will 'cure them'...all the while taking them down a darker and darker road. The few folks I've actually met in real life who are obscessed with talk radio banter, are miserable. Their whole sense of reality thrown off, by ugly pictures painted by talk radio hosts. There is a ugly spirit behind it all...  I say this because Conservatism, at least the talk radio/Fox News brand, no longer talk about loving principles. If you go to their web sites, forums, all you hear is racist remarks, threats, spite, anger, hostility, name calling....it has become ugly. I think even the 'Christian Coalition' has separated itself from this new emerging 'secular' brand of Conservatism...which only seems to be rooted in hostility towards others, and other dark stuff I don't want to write about. 'The Right' always likes to say how Dr King would be disappointed in his folks... Well that may be true to an extent, but I definitely know Ronald Reagan wouldn't recognize todays ugly, uncivil talk radio brand of Conservatism, and he to would be disappointed in 'his folks'.

Next I want to discuss 'Is Conservatism a false form of Christianity?'
In other words if there were a Satan or Devil...has Satan or the devil used 'Conservatism' to deceive would be 'Christians' into following a different docterine?
This must be discussed in up coming posts...all things, angles, must be explored...

When the things, sentiment, expressed by many on 'the right' begin sounding like the things and sentiment traditionally expressed by the 'unsaved'..it kind of makes you wonder.. Has 'Satan' pulled the wool over the eyes of many would be Christians? Cause years ago, the Conservative movement was seen as one that had a 'religious' tilt to it. Just what if...what if Satan already knows he has certain others..but  'Gee, how can I get those 'Conservatives? I know...I'll create a false secular doctrine that will at first 'mirror' the value system of Christanity.. I'll slowly replace peoples faith in Pastors with Talk radio hosts, of secular leaning...ye... I will use these secular and other non Protestant talk show hosts to slowly but surely lure 'gods flock' away from the Lord, and instead to me, where I will replace the loving spirit Jesus taught with anger and bitterness, and resentment and hostility towards others... Soon Jesus and the things he taught, and his loving spirit, will seem like an annoyance to them, and instead they will eagerly turn on talk radio to be fed my spirit, instead of Jehovah's spirit' |

Sadly, Conservatism, as pitched on the radio, and Fox News, isn't really a set of values and principles anymore, rather it has simply become an 'attitude'.
An attitude of resentment, hostility and anger, towards anyone or anything that doesn't fit the 'conservative' template.
And that template varies from person to person.
To some, you're not a true die hard conservative unless you're 'white'...to others you're not a die hard conservative unless you're 'anti-abortion'...and yet to others you're not a real conservative unless you like to hunt, and are a member of the NRA...
And mostly, (this applies mainly to the talk radio types) you're not a conservative unless you display open disdain and hostility towards the elected President.
You can lie, cheat, curse, swear, not believe in god or go to church, but as long as you have open disdain towards the President, you're a die hard conservative....
But beyond hating the President, and openly disrespecting him and others...not really sure what 'higher principles' that movement stands for.
And if one wants 'higher principles'...than why not just go to church and learn the ways of Christ?
Politics in condemning in nature...you spend all your time condemning others for their own personal beliefs...
You spend all your time typecasting others, you've never met, based on broad generalizations spread by talk radio hosts...like 'leftist' 'Democrats' 'blacks' 'hispanics' 'liberals' 'gay and lesbian' and so on.
Talk radio conservatism teaches, trains, people to just lump all these folks into one generic bucket of disdain, to just cast them aside as being 'lost'...to broadly condemn folks you've never ever met on a personal basis.
There is no redemptive quality to ratings driven talk radio..none...
You're simply taught to blindly hate those you disagree with, or to call them names.
In politics, instead of 'Christ' being the saving grace...other flawed men or ideologies become the grace that will save you.
Politics, and politicians and talk radio hosts, are in direct competition with the message of salvation, as taught by Jesus.
To a talk radio Conservative...you become 'saved' by joining the GOP and denouncing...not sin, but by denouncing Obama or Democrats or Liberals..
So so clever indeed...
The devil is clever...

 Perfect example of talk radio shysterism... Bill Cunningham, while on the radio, pretends to be this hardcore, bitter, anti Obama Conservative... With the usual hook line and sinker talk...you know it like a chorus... 'Obama baaaaaaad.....Repubicans goooooood'... But something told me no man could be this blind and illogical all the time...I just had a gut feeling. And was surprised to find out that Bill Cunningham also has a day time talk show, modeled after the 'Jerry Springer Show'...  You know...where the show books drama queen types, and all the other pop culture stuff, hardcore conservatives are suppose to despise... So by night on the radio he's 'Rush Limbaugh' and by day he's 'Jerry Springer'... Wow...  Like I've said many times before on here...it's all a business... And they depend on gullable listeners and viewers to bring home the bacon...  |

AM talk radio hosts are some of the most selfish me me me, It's all about my show, non patriotic swindlers I've ever seen or heard.
Even in tough times of possible 'war'...'Let's split and divide nation, and make my opinion and show a central theme to all other issues'...
It never ceases to amaze me the things talk radio hosts will do, or suggest about others, to always keep their shows relevant...even in times of possible war and conflict.

I, for one, reject this talk radio notion that one can't love their country, nation, unless a particular political party or candidate is in office or wins the office or seat.
Talk radio types inspire nothing in me, accept how to be a big selfish cry baby...cry and wine when you don't get your way.
This idea that America is only 'good' and we should only act patriotic, when we get our way at the polls is immature.
Either one is patriotic or they're not...if one is only patriotic, and respectful to whoevers in the seat only when they get their way at the polls, than they're not patriotic...what they are is a 'sectarian'...
Like what you have in the middle east...'sectarian violence'...various tribes warring against each other all while living within the same bounderies.
As soon as I hear some priviledge older dry talk radio type male lecture, on the radio, what patriotism is, I turn the channel...cause after they way they have behaved under President Obama, by doing everything to undermine his leadership, by attacking his integrity, and questioning his judgment daily, Talk Radio GOP types have lost all moral high ground to me.
All in the name of partisan politics...or in the case of talk radio hosts, all in the name of 'ratings'...split and divide the nations...for ratings...
Undermine peoples trust in their leader...for ratings...
Set a standard of public debate that has fallen so low, (thanks to radio hosts) under Obama, that no President Rep or Dem will ever have the nations respect again.
And please talk radio hosts...quit saying 'The American People'...
If you think you know how 'The American people' feel, the elections would of turned out differently.

Another thing that gets me about phoney talk radio hosts is the following... I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today...  And I find it interesting that he now gives legitimacy to 'Anti war hippie types'... He hated these types under Bush, and during the 99% sit ins and all...yet now, some how they have legitimacy to him only as a useful tool against Obama striking Syria? Here's my take on it... At least the anti war hippie types have remained consistent in their stance against war, any war. Where as ratings driven talk show host, and some GOP flakes, have not. What this tells me is that anti war types don't flip flop, depending on who's in office, where as GOP types, and talk radio hosts do...  This flip flopping on the part of talk radio hosts tells me that they put their shows ratings, above national interests... And this flip flopping on the part of GOP politicians, tells me their value system is totally fake. Values in ones heart, don't change depending on who's elected to office. A true warrior or soldier sticks to their guns regardless. I can totally demonstrate to you how all these politicians who are condemning President Obama for wanting to strike Syria for chemical weapons use, I can demonstrate, pull up quotes, votes, where under Bush, they were all gung-ho... And I will...I will create another thread, in the future, just to show how fake they are... How fake their 'patriotism' is...I will show how shallow they are... How it was ok for folks, soldiers, to die under Bush and Cheney...but Heaven forbid anyone gets hurt under P-Obama... I have more respect for true anti war types, who at least don't change their views for Bush or Obama... Where as now, talk radio hosts sound like hippies from the 60's with their anti war and peace fake sentiment, all done simply to score points against President Obama... And I will demonstrate that there is a unelected underground Government running this nation...that elected officials really have nothing to do with... One would have to be dumb and dense not to see that... Lot's more to follow. |

According to self serving, ratings driven talk radio hosts... Chemical weapons baaaaaaad...under Bush and Cheney...lets go to war, and stop Saddam... But under President Obama...people like old crusty Bill Bennet...say... 'Oh...chemical weapons...so what...so what if 1000's die by gas...'  GOP, talk radio types...you have lost all credibility with me...never ever again tell me that you value life, fetus or not...you have lost all credibility with me... |
