Andy Dean: a fresh voice with a conservative twist

Andy Dean: a fresh voice with a conservative twist

 

Andy Dean, a recent addition to the conservative radio spectrum, has found his niche amongst a crowd of ancients, who should have retired long ago. His voice is heard daily on 95 terrestrial stations and Sirius Radio. As a conservative who survived the liberal assault of a Harvard education, Andy is fully equipped to handle the challenges few media outlets would dare confront. His show, America Now with Andy Dean, dissects an array of news events with a perspective that his contemporaries are unable or unwilling to present. With a heavy reliance on guests, especially from the legal profession, the conversation quickly moves from Hollywood to Washington and back with the speed of thought. Andy’s youthful demeanor has been mistaken by a few for an immaturity that is not ready for primetime. Those of us who are chronic listeners know this behavior is an intensity reserved for some of the more emotional issues of the day’s events. His views on Obamacare, gun control legislation, Benghazi and more quickly identify his conservative bent. Callers, are immediately challenged, when they go off topic or attempt to skew the conversation towards the liberal mindset. Many times Andy is unable to contain himself when the Democrats introduce mass hysteria into the mix to make their points, as exemplified by the Newton Connecticut massacre. The unholy have utilized this horrific incident to further their gun control agenda. Andy’s verbalizations over the airwaves on this issue were curt, quick and on point denoting the irrelevance of the two two topics. Further, he clarified Democrats efforts to denude the public of their weapons by using historical context to flesh out the idiocy of their actions. Andy Dean’s attractiveness to his burgeoning audience comes from his youth vigor, detailed presentation and the fearless manner in which he attacks each issue. He is still evolving as a host and he has the cajones to admit it. Andy’s show should be your first selection on the dial, the others just cannot keep up.  Mark Davis MD, platomd@gmail.com, www.healthnetsreviewservices.com, Author of Demons of Democracy

A well-armed America is a safe America

A well-armed America is a safe America

 

In the solitude of the moment, a woman heard pounding at her front door. The person on the other side was relentless. He was desperate to obtain entry by any means possible. The woman and her nine-year-old twins ran upstairs as this deranged soul broke open the door. He scampered through her home eventually finding her in the attic. As he approached her and the children, she let off a volley of shots from her gun, six bullets in all. Five hit him in the neck and face, the last one missed. He was not dead after five shots. This Georgia woman saved herself and her children last month from this vile human, who was recently released from prison. Is there a prosecution in her future for excessive use of force? Perhaps she will be brought before a judge for not using an appropriate gun on some list in the recesses of Washington D.C. With the Democrats drive to limit guns, preventable rapes and murders mean little to those with an agenda.  The push is now on from  President Obama downwards to circumvent the Second Amendment. Limitations on weapons and ammunition quickly passed into law in New York State after the Newtown Connecticut massacre. Very little consideration was given to the ramifications of this legislation on the state’s populous. Obama, following the New York example, shamelessly used the Newtown massacre as a publicity stunt in his State of Dis-Union Speech for more gun control. The feeding frenzy by the Democrats becomes worse, day by day, as they utilize every means at their disposal to limit weapons by the public at large. Unfortunately, they are not seeking to control the psychos who perform these heinous crimes. Trite as it may sound, deranged people kill, not guns. In Baltimore, knives are becoming the weapon of choice. During the Ravens celebration of the Super Bowl win, multiple stabbing leading to deaths occurred nearby. Knives will be outlawed next, if the Democrats get their way. As the tyrannical regime in Washington becomes more intrusive and abusive having assault weapons vested within the government’s reach only is a very bad idea. This is the road Obama and the Liberals are paving for us. Guns have no personalities, only those who misuse them have. Reduce their chances of obtaining weapons, and reductions in violence will automatically follow. Mark Davis, MD, platomd@gmail.com, Author of Demons of Democracy

Death by America: why no one is safe

Death by America: why no one is safe

 

America’s conciliatory posture around the World, even in the face of the most toxic situations, has had repercussions unforeseen even by the strongest wits in the Administration. Benghazi exemplifies America’s policy of noninterference, which in this case was caustic to 4 people in the service of this country. Transgression by dark forces around the World on American citizens and property were rare events when respectability of our nation was the norm. New norms have arisen which exclude any possibility of a hands off policy by the errant, who will act against the innocent, when they travel from this nation overseas. Disrespect for American culture and values have been on the increase for many decades. Attacks on our embassies in the 1990s culminated with the horrific tragedy on 9/11/ 2001. It is difficult to conceive yet blatantly true that our biggest enemy is not a terrorist from a 3^rd World cesspool but our own government. Within the last several weeks White House minions have marched across the national stage, via Congressional hearings, each with more profound misrepresentations concerning the death of our Libyan ambassador than the last. President Obama’s crack team of incompetents were aware of the need for further protection by our people on the ground several months prior to the 9/11/2012 attack on our Benghazi Consult, yet nothing was done. Evidence indicates the day of the attack real-time images of well-arm mobs surrounding and attacking this facility were being viewed by State Department Officials. High ranking officials from the Administration have denied observing these images. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, appeared before both House and Senate investigating committees, a few days before her departure from the grasp of Uncle Sam. Her audacious denials of any knowledge of the events leading up to 9/11/2012 and the attack itself had a certain scent of dishonesty built into each one of her verbalizations. Worse, she would not say who told the military to stand-down as the attack was ongoing.  The Administration’s chorus of liars’ messages to Congress and the American people are more profound than media sources have portrayed. This is the first Administration in modern history to abandon its own personnel while they were under attack. President Obama delicately sooths the egos of Middle Eastern extremists with hopes they will rethink their modus operandi. This fantasy will never move into reality. Instead his weak posture strengthens those who will do harm to Americans anywhere they may travel, because our enemies believe this nation will not retaliate against them. Obama’s diplomatic methods call for apologies to the dissolute for prior actions of this country not bullets for hurting our people. Americans are unsafe anywhere they travel, not from lack of strength, but lack of willpower to engage the aggressor on equal footing. Deaths of four in Libya are only the beginning of a long siege on Americans and their interests around the World. It is time for our politicians to act like leaders and put the World on notice, don’t mess with us or there will be severe consequences in return. Unfortunately, another presidential term must move into history before America’s backbone is once again seen.

Baltimore: unsafe at any speed

Baltimore: unsafe at any speed

 

Baltimore City is one of the nation’s hot zones for crime. In every category Baltimore crime rates are at the top of the list, no matter how the numbers are cooked. In 2010, Baltimore’s population hovered at approximately 620,000 with 223 victims of homicides. By 2011, the death toll from murders dipped to 197, yet its aggravated assault rate for a city with a population over 100,000 was one of the highest in the nation. In the most recent year in which statistics are available, 2012, murders again breached the two hundred mark to 217. Other crime statistics are equally as ugly including; forcible rape, larceny, arson, motor vehicle theft, violent assaults, robbery and more. Kudos to the Baltimore City Police Department, they are some of the finest people I have ever met. As a former owner of several businesses in the city, these men and women were always available to protect us whenever we called. Yet, the criminal element has overwhelmed the resources of Baltimore’s finest. An unprovoked violent attack against a tourist on St. Patrick’s Day in 2012, whose video went viral on the internet, displays the type of people causing most of the city’s crime. Over the last 30 years, hundreds of billions have been spent on Baltimore to improve its infrastructure and upgrade the lives of those who live there. Unfortunately, with all that largess poverty and drug driven crimes continue to haunt the denizens of the 24^th largest city in America. There is plenty of blame to spread around for the city’s failures; the disintegration of the nuclear family, a judicial system that favors the victimizer over the victim, an endemic use of drugs, schools that do not prepare their students for the rigors of life that reality offers and a government mismanaged at every level. As the City celebrated a great victory in the Super Bowl, multiple stabbings occurred nearby, resulting in several deaths. Crime in Baltimore never takes a rest. With recent revelations that the city is on a path to bankruptcy, less not more protection will be available for the innocents at large. Since 1960, Baltimore has lost over 300,000 residents. No doubt some of the reasons enumerated in this article drove people to leave. Could Baltimore die by its own hands, the evidence is mounting that it will.

Chuck Hagel: wrong man at the wrong time

Chuck Hagel: wrong man at the wrong time

 

Chuck Hagel, the former two-term U.S. Senator from Nebraska, went before a Senate committee to pursue confirmation to become the next Secretary of Defense. His awkward presentation was undeniably due to lack of preparation and his underlying belief that his approval was virtually assured. Those he confronted on the other side of the table were well-prepared with tough questions for this borderline candidate. Hagel’s illustrious record as a war hero in Vietnam deserves the highest praise, yet it may not be enough to carry him over the finish line for the present position he seeks. Tough questions came at him from both sides of the aisle. Even his prior Republican colleagues questioned his abilities, prior stances on certain issues and his quasi approval of terrorist states. When questioned about his prior statements on Iran, which noted its government has a legitimate right to rule that country, his nebulous answers gave many a reason to pause in their consideration of him. When questioned about his views on Israel, which had a negative tint to them in the past, he hemmed and hawed without providing clear answers. Senator John McCain, a fellow Vietnam War veteran, attempted to hammer Hagel on his views of the Iraq troop surge. Hagel bobbed and weaved as he ducted the question by stating, “I am not going to give you a yes or no—I think it is far more complicated than that---I will defer that judgment to history.” When further questioned on Israel, his pro-Palestinian views became more evident. Accusing Israel of “caging Palestinians like animals”in a prior quote, raised a number of eyebrows as the hearing moved forth. Another Senator reviewed Hagel’s interview with Al Jazeera. Several callers to this show accused Israel of war crimes and America of being the World’s bully, neither comment received a denial by him. Chuck Hagel’s hearing did not go well for him. He stumbled through most of it and deferred many of the questions to history or some other irrelevant diversion. Too many questions arise about Hagel’s past, which continue to haunt him. His inability to articulate clear positions on current international affairs should be a major consideration for those who must vote on this nominee for Secretary of Defense. The World is full of tensions and dangers, which could be trigger points for a major war that no one wants. America does not need another incompetent at the helm, the Executive branch has too many already.
