Actually, the problem with Boortz is that he is largely self-made. He used to pick cotton in Texas. I am not making this up. He basically slaved away in the Atlanta market starting on the old Ring Radio. He actually used to be much more moderate, but he's been pure shill for at least 10 years. Hell, he used to bitch that no matter how hot the economy was at the time, it could have been hotter if it weren't for Clinton. And it's just not fair to say that it's Bush's fault that it cooled down.
The other problem with Boortz is that he's an asshole 24/7. It's how he makes his money. He's a professional asshole.

The program NOW on PBS has the whistleblower on who exposed the "no bid" contract of Halliburton.
Her name was Bunatine Greenhouse and she said there was no reason to have a "no bid" contract for more than one year. She then found out the administration wanted a 5 year contract.
Halliburton was also charged with over $60 million in fraudulent charges to the army. The administration gave them a waiver over the objections of the Ms. Greenhouse.

Most white male talk show hosts are losers who have never amounted to anything in the real world. Savage has never been a successfull anything. As for Boortz, he practiced law, was a speech writer for Lester Maddox, and has been on radio since the 1960's. He has never been a captain of industry or a venture capatalist or had a successful business.

I don't think they believe he's talking about them. Ever see those polls where something like 60% of Americans think that they will die as one of the upper 1% in income? That's the true tragedy of the last 25 years. People that aren't even on the team thinking they're in the game.

Kill The Poor
Dead Kennedys (from the album Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, 1980)
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Tonight
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night
While they
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor
Tonight
NOW is also showing how corporations renege on their pension plans and wind up dumping their pensioneers on the government (taxpayers).
There is $450 billion in pension plans that have been underfunded or reneged on. And there are more to come.
Meanwhile Bushboy & the Goopers dole out more tax cuts, subsidies and "no bid" contracts to these corporations, while running huge deficits.

"social darwinist libertarians can never given an example of a existing or past social darwinist libertarian state, its really quite pathetic."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Soc...ocial_Darwinism
Because Social Darwinism came to be associated in the public mind with racism, imperialism, eugenics, and pseudoscience, such criticisms are sometimes applied (and misapplied) to any other political or scientific theory that resembles social Darwinism. Such criticisms are often levelled, for example, at evolutionary psychology.
Similarly, capitalist economics, especially laissez-faire economics, is sometimes equated with Social Darwinism because it is thought by some to involve a "sink or swim" attitude toward economic activity. However, the fact that some Social Darwinists are advocates of capitalism and laissez-faire does not mean that all capitalists are Social Darwinists.
Social Darwinist theory itself does not necessarily engender a political position: some Social Darwinists argue for the inevitability of progress, while others emphasise the potential for the degeneration of humanity, and some even attempt to enroll Social Darwinism in a reformist politics. Rather, Social Darwinism is an eclectic set of closely interrelated social theories -- much in the way that Existentialism is not one philosophy but a set of closely interrelated philosophical principles.

There is a law called ERISA that requires corporations to fund their pension plans.
But many, including United Airlines, have either underfunded or not funded the pension plan for years!
And with the Bushboy administration and the friendly federal courts (thanks to Gooper appointments), the corporations will likely get away with violation of the law and the pensioneers will be screwed.

But seeing that I was just a grocery bag boy on the weekends, I obviously couldn't keep it up. My Mom was/is a waitress, and my Dad was (not anymore (fuck you, SSI)) sometimes employed. So I went punk rawk.
But when I win the Powerball tomorrow night, I'll take care of my family (1 year to the day of the great Rowsdower wedding).
Then I'll hold a lottery for you bats; and I'll pay off your student loans.

""It pays to make the U.S. school system a crock of shit because the dumber the people are that come out, the easier it is to draft them, make them into docile consumers, or, you know, mongo employees. There are plenty of yuppies out there with absolutely nothing upstairs. Graduate airheads with PhDs and everything but they don't know anything. And what do they listen to? Certainly not my records.""
"Politics is the
entertainment branch of
industry"
And most importantly
"Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to
the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have opted instead
for an authoritarian system disguised as a Democracy. We pay through
the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and
then wonder how all those assholes got in there."

First of all, if you're truly wealthy then you don't need to be saved by the government. Whenever trouble comes down the pike you can just hop in your helicopter and fly straight to the airport where you load up your jet and whisk yourself away to your country villa in your tax-free principality of choice. No worries about natural disasters, economic collapse or disgruntled hoi polloi at the gates.
As for those quasi-rich McMansion dwellers who aspire to true wealth, well they don't really need government either. After all, they're the ones who get everything done in this country, so why don't they just save themselves? All they need to do is harness some of that entrepreneurial spirit to create privately owned disaster rescue companies. Expecting the government to come save you is a pre-Katrina mindset in a post-Katrina world. Get logical.

Consider all the acts by the Bushboy administration that make life easier for the rich (how easy can it get?) and harder for the working people:
1. Tax cuts with the lion's share going to the top 10% in income.
2. New bankruptcy laws that make it harder for people to so declare and allow banks and credit card companies to pursue them to their graves for debt owed plus the usurious interest charges.
3. Allowing profiteering polluters to dump more toxins and other health hazards on the public.
4. Cutting benefits for Veterans returning from the Iraq war.
5. Trying to undermine Social Security by pushing "private account" scams.
6. Gutting Medicare with a phony "prescription drug plan" that was falsely claimed to cost under $400 billion over ten years, when in fact it will cost twice as much.

"The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and few who make up the employing class have all the good things of life.
Between these two classes a struggle mut go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the earth.

Quite classless and uncivilized, these people.
For a civilized response to a disaster, the Titanic sets the gold standard.
"Women and children first."
For the most part, those responsible for the ship and responsible for the disaster died.
These yokels are actually quite poor themselves.
Wealth starts at about $85,000,000, if one lives modestly.
Rich starts at about $475,000,000, if one lives carefully.
Both presume the ability to live on a third of the interest of the interest.

David Lee Roth is perhaps the most important poet of the American post war literary scene.
While's it's true that his lyrics are deceptively simple, even nonsensical as some critics would assert, it's also true that he managed to join together the physical and lyrical in a way that few artists since the ancient Greeks did.
Who watching Roth perform his high kicks onstage fails to think of Nietzche's great aphorism's about philosophy dancing with arms and legs or even Emma Goldmann's statement that if she couldn't dance she didn't want your revolution.

My sister went to a tiny, well-regarded, expensive liberal arts college in a tiny town in northwestern Illinois. I went to a state school with a commuter campus (no dorms), where I think I got a more-than-good liberal arts education. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. I would have loved to have had the bricks-ivy-and-dorm-life experience, but more for dreamy/romantic self-image reasons than anything else. This should not be construed as disparagement of liberal arts colleges.

Alan Berg was a liberal Jewish talk radio host in Denver, Colorado who broadcast his program on KOA 850 AM. The station's powerful signal allowed listeners in over thirty of the United States to hear Berg's opinions on gun control, homosexuality, religion and other controversial topics. Berg had a dedicated audience, and was known for his often abrasive, confrontational debates with those who telephoned his program.
On June 18, 1984, Berg was gunned down in the driveway of his home by three members of The Order, a white supremacist group. Ten men were convicted of involvement in the murder.
When asked about the assassination, David Lane, a member of The Order who had called Berg's KOA show, responded: "the only thing I have to say about Alan Berg is, regardless of who did it, he has not mouthed his hate whitey propaganda from his 50,000-watt Zionist pulpit for quite a few years."
Lane, the getaway driver, was not convicted of murder, but for violations of Alan Berg's civil rights and racketeering. Lane's sentence was 40 years for the racketeering charges and 150 years for the civil right violations.
The events were later dramatized in multiple ways. Eric Bogosian adapted the story of Berg's death into a play, Talk Radio, later filmed by Oliver Stone. Berg's assassination and the consequent trial form the core of Steven Dietz's 1988 play God's Country.

Rich people are rich because of the working poor. If their companies had to pay fair wages and benefits, then there would be fewer rich people. Rich people don't keep Walmart open, the poor do. I once heard this argument about the rich being more important from a guy who worked at a company that sold text books to public schools. He was too stupid to realize that his paycheck really came from the working poor who pay school taxes. If poor people stopped buying goods and services and save more of their money, then we would see how rich, some of the rich actually are. I for one have pledged not to buy anything but food, necessary clothing and books for the next two years.

The problem with libertarians is that their beliefs are based on false premises; they don't seem to understand that the free market is not a force of nature, it's a social construct, one that MUST have a set of basic rules and underlying commonly held assumptions to work properly.
They also imagine that in their ideal world, they will be the top dogs. They are gravely mistaken.

I've never talked to or heard a libertarian who didn't seem like a very old and unattractively selfish three year old.
Gary Frazier gets it right.
It is heresy to disbelive in the unseen hand, you will be excluded from the communion of the listend to if you speak that way.

Seriously, see my blog. Boortz uncovers some unintentional honesty here.

maybe it's time for a general strike just to remind the rich who really creates the wealth...

So Paris Hilton should be saved before, say . . . Mother Theresa?
So watching "Titanic," Boortz was yelling, "Yeah, all right, keep those bums in steerage locked in!" He must identify with the rich guy, who when informed that half the passengers would die, responded, "Not the better half."
Also, in Boortz's world, I wonder how those rich people he'd save would make things work without labor.

Contessa Rebecca writes a letter:
Dear Mr. Boortz --
Thank you so much for your insightful radio broadcast suggesting that rich people like us should be saved first in the case of a national emergency. I totally agree with the sentiment. However, I would like to point out that if we were saved first, to the detriment of the underclasses, in the PAP (Post-Apocalyptic Period) who would wash out my unmentionables? Who would serve me my tea and toast in bed every morning? Who would wipe the noses of my sniveling brats? Who would keep my streets clean of garbage, repair the sewers, keep the rat population under control? I fear that while your sentiments are admirable, you have not thought this scenario through. I believe that much as we go about our daily lives preferring not to notice these things, every society needs a larger underclass than overclass. Otherwise, you and I would have to do all those dirty chores for ourselves --- heaven forfend! I suggest that we rich people make up a list of the poor that we could not do without, and be allowed to save them as well. For my part, I'm particularly thinking about that nice old gentleman in the uniform who accepts my special delivery packages for me -- after all, how would I get my mail afterwards? I don't know about you, but the more I think about it (and all this thinking makes me want to lie down in a darkened room with cucumber slices on my eyes and my favorite whale sounds CD playing softly in the background), the more I believe that you need to slightly amend your theory. A ratio of about 25 poor people to each rich person sounds about right to me. Not being an economist, however, my numbers might be off by a few factors. Can we get someone more knowledgeable about these things to work this out for us? Mr. Greenspan, perhaps? After all, we must be prepared -- I wouldn't want to find that in the PAP someone as erudite and clever as you might fall to the bottom of the heap through no fault of your own, and end up having to dirty your own hands looting the local WalMart, just because you forgot to save that nice girl at the cash register who works for minimum wage and no benefits who could have properly rung up and bagged those items for your maid...
Sincerely yours,
Contessa Rebecca
