As America observes the unfolding carnage in Haiti, we have been brutally reminded of our blessings. As we shift our recliners to more comfortable positions, we might pause a moment to ponder a deeper truth - those blessings do not convey immunity.
'No Free Rides' -
As a conservative appreciative of our country's traditional values, it is a personal belief that prosperity and safety are not without cost. The Bible, reinforced by nature and the test of experience, assures us that nothing is free and the pretense of such is anything but loving.
God may have made men equal, but such is certainly not the case with cultures. Whatever romantic attributes previously granted to Haitian culture were grievously assaulted by recent events. The broken rock fault under Haiti has revealed a long standing cultural fault on top of Haiti.
In spite of the lessons of history and this current event so close to our shores, most Americans believe we retain an inevitable destiny of power and security. To do anything else would require we step around the soft allure of comfort and face the much more demanding mistress of accountability.
'Confronting the Anointed' -
In my home town a couple of dozen Tea Party members recently stepped away from their comfort zones to confront elected officials returning from a junket. The state legislator and county commission chair flew in from Hawaii, an island paradise coincidently located at about the same latitude as the paradise lost - Haiti.
The benefits of a tax payer funded vacation evidently included a respective four thousand dollar dose of Maui's version of 'chutzpa' - Hebrew for 'audacious entitlement'. It seems that both officials were stricken with the crucial importance of their roles on the Airport Authority and the daunting skill sets necessary to that function. Hawaii was clearly the only place to properly acquire those proficiencies.
Those with a resistance to chicken manure marketed as chicken salad have tilted their heads at the assertion that board membership necessitates exotic trips to tropical vistas. Those acquainted with books, the Internet, and other affordable and accessible learning tools were equally skeptical of the attitude of personal entitlement cheerfully defended as an act of accountability. It is apparent that awareness of a real national unemployment rate approaching 20% and enough debt to mortgage the future of our children's children is not one of the skill sets of an information deprived airport authority.
Insult was added to injury when it was learned that Mr. Commissioner wanted to be reimbursed for using his frequent flyer miles for the trip. Audacity was added to absurdity when it was discovered that Mrs. Legislator graciously shared her room when her family showed up in Hawaii to enhance her learning experience.
'The Politics of the Bright Lie' -
The corruption of truth by smooze artists has become the accepted model of politics in today's America. The effort by these co-conspirators to paint a bright coating of necessity over an exercise in long-distance frivolity was far too typical. We lost Lord Acton in the last century, but his quote about "power corrupting" has certainly traveled well into this one.
Thanks are due to the eighteen people who left their recliners and held a confrontation luau for these culture vultures posing as community leaders. Such activism is a living manifestation of anthropologist Margaret Mead's assertion - "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
'Progressive Corruptions' -
The country of Haiti shares an island with the Dominican Republic. There are few better places to note the dual potentials of cultures. On one side of the border strive a hopeful people grounded to a developing foundation of liberty, opportunity, and responsibility. On the other struggles a desperate people floundering in a swamp of tyranny, stagnancy, and despair. Neither reality is accidental or inevitable. Both resulted from incremental cultural decisions.
Corruption exists in all societies. Left unchallenged, it can grow here just as surely as anywhere else. It will take lots of "small groups of thoughtful committed citizens" to turn the tide of America's slide to dark places.
Taking the fight to our tainted leaders is a good place to start. Just as evil rarely comes to us with glowing eyes and a forked tail, corrupt politicians rarely step into the sunshine - especially when returning from wasteful junkets to Hawaii - without a bodyguard of lies. Deceit festers in the hearts of the corrupted - such people cannot protect America's future.
Cultures taking the potentials of evil for granted risk forces of destruction holding even greater fury than an earthquake. It behooves us to look to the unfolding tragedy in Haiti for the potentials of the progressive corruption of our own culture. We need not wait for an earthquake to leave our recliners...
Today we start out asking the question, "Do You Support The FL Hi-Speed Rail Train From Tampa To Orlando...Yes or No". The phones rang OFF the hook and I couldn't answer them fast enough as people called overwhelmingly to say NO!
Our first guest Greg Allen, NYC Talk Radio Host, answers the same question and asks others about the State of the Union speech and just whose Union it was that Pres. Barack Obama was speaking about...
Then it's time for Sally Tibbetts, FL-13 District Director for Cong. Vern Buchanan, as she answers questions about the State of the Union speech and other things. The 5 Point Economy and Jobs Bill proposed by Cong Buchanan, the Balanced Budget Bill, HR 847 The Sunshine Resolution are all discussed in today's radio segment...
We wrap things up by finishing off the week of great guests we've had including Marco Rubio, Army Specialist Ken James at Al Assad in Iraq, Kent Clizbe-Security and Terrorism Expert and more...

Hello everyone and welcome to "The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show" with plenty going on today after last night's State of the Union address by Pres. Barack Obama...
While everyone knows the President does NOT make any of the laws passed by Congress, he did call for a new era of politics in Washington, DC. The question now is will it be busy as usual or doing the business of the people???
Our first guest is Tampa Talk Radio Show Host Henry Raines who gives his take on the speech and some of the new problems it creates for the Democrats to deliver on IF they want to remain the Party 'in power' come November...
Then it's time for FL U.S. Sen. GOP Candidate Marco Rubio who talks about the Obama speech and adds some thoughts you probably haven't heard anywhere else. He also speaks about the Hi-Speed Rail Service and the President's trip to Tampa where it's expected he'll deliver some $1.25 Billion, about 1/2 of what FL thought they would get, to initiate the FL Hi-Speed Rail project. You'll also hear some candid comments about the Ft Hood Shooter Report and using Public Funds for Professional Stadiums like Baseball and Football...
Time next for 7-term Oklahoma Cong. Ernest Istook, now a Senior Fellow with the Heritage Foundation, who was sitting IN the Joint Session of Congress last night viewing the State of the Union address. This is a MUST listen to segment because of the comments being made by members of both the Democrat and Republican Party's in the presence of Ernest. His 'take' on the speech is extremely enlightening and something ALL people should hear...
Of course we finish off with Earl Pitts and some more opinion about what's next for America to see if we actually can get away from all the bickering and agree to do the business of the PEOPLE for a change...

Then we speak with FL GOP 19th Congressional District Candidate Ed Lynch calling in from South Florida as he tells us what he and his campaign are all about as a 'special' Primary election is scheduled for next Tuesday in which he hopes to win based on his stated principles and go on to the November Election as the GOP Candidate in the 19th Congressional District of Florida.

News Source: News Sarasota, Iraq Study Group, Congress
SARASOTA, FL. (NS) -
After the Iraq Study Group released its report a couple of years ago, there's been a lot of speculation over whether bringing back the Draft would be something needed to be done...
In its initial report the Iraq Study Group said, "An extraordinary amount of sacrifice has been asked of our men and women in uniform, and of their families. The American Military has little reserve force to call on if it needs ground forces to respond to other crises around the World."
Immediately after that, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), spoke up and started to immediately publicly discuss the option of reinstating the Military Draft...
The Selective Service Act went into effect in 1917 when it required American civilian males between the ages of 21-30 to register for WWI...
The United States hasn't had a military draft since 1973, when Congress eliminated conscription as the Vietnam War was drawing to an end...
For most of its history, the United States has been without a draft. But the times we live in and the Global War on Terror may have forced that all to change...
Many military officers, lawmakers and analyists oppose bringing back the draft. However a larger number of our our elected officials and more ranking members of the military are starting to suggest bringing back the draft...
Today's military has been an all-volunteer force the past 34 years. The demands being brought forward by the Global War on Terror, is now present in at least 60 Countries around the World in one form or another...
The Army had 732,000 active-duty soldiers during the 1991 Persian Gulf War which happened 3 years after President Ronald Reagan was out of office...
During the Clinton years, the force was reduced and now numbers about 512,000 under President Bush...
The Bush administration recognized there was a problem and has promised to add 92,000 service members to the Army and Marine Corps over the next 5 years...
The Obama administration has continued this policy...
But how do you do this without mentioning the fact there may be a need for the reactivation of the Military Draft???
This would mean Army and Marine recruiters would have to sign up additional people every year, while they're already struggling to meet recruiting quotas and some standards have had to be dropped to do so...
For example, raising the enlistment age to 42, allowing some lessor criminal charges previously not allowed for recruit eligibility and lowering some of the test scores recruits have to take...
I would like to suggest that IF the United States Government feels the need to reinstate the Military Draft, that we add women between the ages of 18-39 to the list...
Women have already been proven to be able and willing to serve in Combat situations and have performed extremely well under some extremely adverse conditions...
While the Feminist's will never agree with what I've just said, go ask a female soldier what she thinks about what they're doing for America...
I have and they are damn proud to be serving and are willing to do whatever it takes to defend, protect and serve America...
That being said, the men's requirements for instituting a new Draft would probably remain the same as the enlistment requirements. The only thing that might be changed would be the maximum age of 42, which would probably be dropped to 39 as well...
When you start seeing the likes of 'Jane Fonda' back on the anti-war stage, every Vietnam veteran remembers what she meant to our Enemy and how her efforts gave more resolve to the NVA and Viet Cong Forces fighting against us in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia...
It is time for honorable and patriotic men and women across America to stand up for our Military. The fact of the matter is, our young men and women serving in our Military today are keeping the Terrorist's from operating and doing what they're doing over there, right here in our Country...
For the people that don't understand that, I say what rock have you been living under???
The Radical Islamic Muslim Terrorist's are real and they want nothing more than to kill as many of us as they can. They know they can defeat us in the world of public opinion, if we allow them to...
We are not the people running around with suicide bombers, killing hundreds and thousands of people each and every month...
We are also not the people running around beheading those who stand up and fight against them in the name of their Religion...
And finally, what part of the word TERRORIST don't you understand???
These people do not want to talk. They do not want to negotiate. They merely want to kill as many of us as they can and destroy our way of life...
Democracy is not a part of their beliefs or upbringing. We are the 'Great Satan' because we allow women the right to vote. That also applies to women having the ability to express their opinion. You don't have to look very far to understand that either...
Just go to Afghanistan where the Taliban ruled and you'll run across women who have had their tongues cut out for rendering any opinion against the Muslim fanatics that used to run that Country...
These are the facts that are there to be found if you just bother to look. So the fact still remains, do you want to fight them over there...or over here???
To do what we need to do to destroy the Radical Islamic Terrorist's around the World before they have the chance to destroy us, we 'may' have to bring back the Military Draft...
Think about that when you read the headlines from across the Globe...
Draft proponents say that those whom the Military doesn't need could be used instead to work in Homeland Security guarding our Airports, Seaports and Borders or could even work in understaffed Hospitals or Schools. All of this could be done just by reinstating the Draft...
So, consider the evidence and the facts of what I've written and then stand up for America and our brave Military men and women...
You can either be part of the solution or remain part of the problem. The choice is up to you...
One thing IS for certain, if this old Warrior's body would let him, I'd volunteer in a minute! Whatever happened to that kind of spirit in America???
For Now, That's Just 'OUR' Opinion...

Then we speak to Greg Allen, NYC Talk Radio Host, who offers his condolences to the Democratic Party but advises the Republicans not to get to cocky as there's still a long way to go between now and November 2nd when the Mid-Term elections are going to be held...
Sally Tibbetts the FL-13 Congressional District Director for Cong. Vern Buchanan joins us next to discuss the busy political week including the HR 847 Sunshine Resolution and the support his petition is getting to bring this to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives...

Today we hear from more TEA Party folks and people who are talking about the success of the TEA Party movement and how it affected the Massachusetts Special Senate election on Tuesday won by Scott Brown...
Our first guest is Henry Raines, Tampa Talk Radio Host, as he lays out the reasons WHY the Democrats were beaten and WHAT they did and are still doing wrong which will bring on even more problems for them in the November Mid-Term election...
Then we speak with Kyle Olsen, ACORN Cracked.com, who tells us about the role ACORN once again played in the Special MA Election.

Time next for Kevin 'Coach' Collins, Collins Report.net, as he finishes his comments not only about the election in MA but those elections in November that had the SAME results where incumbent Democrats were voted OUT of office in local elections around NYC and replace by new Conservative ones...
Of course it's nothing but the FACTS but why isn't the mainstream media reporting what is easily and readily available? WHY are they instead still trying to blame George W. Bush or anyone but themselves in what is clearly a Voter REVOLT against the first year of Democratic control of Congress???

We start out with New Media Journal Managing Editor Frank Salvato who discusses the special election being held today in Massachusetts. This IS an extremely interesting race which sets the table for what's coming in the Mid-Term election on November 2nd. You'll want to pay close attention to the FACTS that have made it this way and the reason WHY it's even 'close' to begin with...
Time next for Jim Kouri from Examiner.com and current 5th VP for the Natl Assn of Chief's of Police as he discusses the violence in Haiti which is making it difficult to get some of the food, medical and water supplies to the people who need it.

Join our first guest Chrissy Prazares from Florida Patriotic Resistance and 13Patriots.net as she talks about the 'battle plan' her group has for getting accurate information to Voters who need to know the facts and not the rumors about Candidates and their Campaigns throughout Florida and including District 13...
Then it's time for our pal, Greg Allen, NYC Talk Radio Host who fills us in on the lack of interest in getting America off the dependency of Foreign Oil. This is something that would create as much as $80 Billion a year in new jobs in the Energy Field which would include Oil, Natural Gas, Solar, Wind and more. The big question here is WHY doesn't Washington get serious about helping America break free from OPEC and their constant HOOK they have firmly planted into each and every one of us???
Joining us next is Kyle Warren, 'The Professor of Politics', who gets into the latest details about the State of Massachusetts U.S. Senate race and how CLOSE it is with at least '2' polls showing the GOP Candidate Scott Brown LEADING in the final hours before the Tuesday vote. This would be an AMAZING feat if a Republican Candidate can WIN a Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for over 3 decades...
Then we talk about some of the Relief Agencies in the area helping out in Haiti along with a very interesting stat about some of our 'friends' who vote against us in the UN anywhere from 67% to 80% of the time. Those same 'friends' who get large amounts of Foreign Aid from us and in some cases we buy their Oil from them. The logical question here is WHY do we even bother with them???
Get IN the know, tell your friends and start listening to what you won't hear being discussed until other Talk Radio and Internet Shows hear us talk about them FIRST...
The weekend version of "The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show" starts out with Frank Salvato from the New Media Journal talking about the Relief work in Haiti. Then we switch over to the business 'as usual' even though we were all promised 'hope and change' by President Barack Obama. We got the 'hope' and we're all still looking for the 'change' but it's obvious that's NOT going to happen until we vote those in the Congress who are NOT doing the business of the 'people' OUT of office in November 2010...
Time next for former U.S. Senator from NH Robert Smith who will surprise a lot of people who thought they knew him during his 12 years in the Senate. This is a MUST listen to interview for anyone who is on the 'bubble' about the FL. U.S. Senate Race between Gov. Charlie Crist, former FL. House Speaker Marco Rubio and himself...
Then we listen to Ray Stevens Song about 'We The People' which is pretty much what our first hour is all about. You'll absolutely LOVE listening to this song that's taking the Country and the TEA Party movement by storm...

Hello everybody and welcome to today's "The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show" hour #3 as heard LIVE on WSRQ Radio 1220 AM and 106.9 FM in Sarasota, FL...
We start out talking with FL. State Senator Paula Dockery from District 15 in Lakeland who is now running for Governor against FL Attorney General Bill McCullum. Sen. Dockery lays out her issues which include not supporting the High Speed passenger rail train proposed for the State which she believes will cost more than what we're now hearing along with her experience and why she'd make a good Governor...
Time next for Greg Allen, NYC Talk Radio Host, who speaks about the Massachusetts U.S. Senate race which now has one poll showing the GOP challenger in the lead and the Election simply a 'dead heat' based on others. This is indeed HUGE news and if 'Taxachusetts' goes RED it will be even bigger news!
Then we spend the next half hour with FL-13 Congressman Vern Buchanan who is LIVE in studio as he takes calls and speaks about new legislation he's introduced called "Military Tribunals for Terrorists Act," along with his "Sunshine Resolution" drawing National interest and the FBI taking up Congressman Buchanan's plan to track violent offenders as the Bureau moves quickly to erase the backlog and acquire new DNA samples from inmates which could solve a lot more crimes faster...
Congressman Buchanan's answers are exactly what Americans need to hear especially when it comes to the "Transparency" we were all promised by Pres. Barack Obama during his Campaign which Speaker Nancy Pelosi has 'laughed off' calling it merely a "campaign promise"...

“Get thee glass eyes, and, like a scurvy politician, seem to see the things thou dost not.” – William Shakespeare
America, when exactly did we come to tolerate politicians lying to us – bald-faced –about things that actually matter? When did we start to put up with being lied to by our elected officials and accepting it as the status quo? When did we come to accept that disingenuous political spin was just part of the process; that deceiving the electorate was tolerable...at any level? I ask because as I try to reconcile the “hope and change” propaganda with the actions of the Obama Administration, well, let’s just say the campaign rhetoric appears to have been crafted by P.T. Barnum.
Examples of intellectual malfeasance exist on both sides of the aisle but it is dramatically more prevalent on the political Left and since the Progressives have hijacked the Democrat Party it has gotten worse. There doesn’t seem to be a day that goes by where news comes out of Washington DC that is literally unbelievable.
Transparency -
When President Obama was running for office he promised unprecedented transparency. He maintained that not only would the American people be able to access information about every move his administration made via the Internet, he maintained that his administration would be a post-partisan administration and that he would value input and scrutiny from both sides of the aisle equally. In the realization of his presidency nothing could be further from the truth.
By now everyone has seen the compilation video of then presidential candidate Barack Obama testifying to the masses about how any and all negotiations regarding healthcare insurance reform was going to be televised on C-SPAN. The compilation video numbers his assertions at eight but because this was a premier plank in his campaign, one can rightfully assume that this promise was made at every campaign stop where the issue of healthcare insurance reform was addressed.
But the truth of the matter is that there was absolutely no transparency in the crafting of either the House or Senate healthcare insurance reform bills. In fact, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Progressive from California, refused input from any GOP House member and instead crafted her bill behind closed doors with the help of special interest groups like the SEIU. In the Senate, Harry Reid crafted legislation without any input from the GOP at all and behind closed doors with, again, special interest groups like the SEIU. Reid went further in his clandestine operations when he negotiated the bribery of several US Senators (Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson to name but two) with taxpayer monies in an effort to achieve the sixty votes needed to move the Senate bill forward.
Through it all Mr. Obama remained silent. Harry Reid, Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson tried to explain to a very anger American public that “...it's not different from other pieces of legislation...We work compromises. That's what legislation is all about, the art of compromise." And recently Nancy Pelosi, while mocking the promises made by Mr. Obama during the campaign, insisted, “...there has never been a more open process for any legislation in anyone who serves here’s experience.” Again, through it all, Mr. Obama remained silent. He never insisted that negotiations be televised and, in fact, he not only didn’t object to the closed-door crafting of legislation, he held his own closed door meetings to strategize with Progressive Democrats on the tactics to be employed to achieve victory on the issue.
Earmarks -
During the campaign, Mr. Obama promised not only an end to wasteful spending, but he said he would eliminate the earmark process and veto any piece of legislation that came across his desk that included earmarks. Enter the stimulus bill.
The stimulus bill, it can be successfully argued, was one giant earmark benefiting special interest groups. From a transit system linking Las Vegas to Disneyland to the funding of an effort to preserve the habitat for the San Francisco Salt Marsh Mouse, the “stimulus bill” did little to “stimulate” anything but the bank accounts of special interest groups. The proof of its absolute failure is in the current national unemployment numbers (10 percent as of November). This of course does not address the fact that almost two-thirds of the money allocated to this initiative is left unspent, slated for use in elections years 2010 and 2012...how convenient.
Further, when one examines the latest appropriations bill for military expenditures – and even the hotly contested healthcare insurance reform bill – there has been little “reform” applied to the practice of earmarks, let alone an “elimination” of the practice, as promised.
Partisanship -
During the campaign, Mr. Obama insisted and, in fact, centered his campaign on the notion that he would be a “post-partisan president,” meaning that the era of divisive party politics would be at an end. He promised repeatedly to listen to any suggestions and to include ideas from both sides of the aisle in the crafting of legislation.
One simply needs to examine how the stimulus and healthcare insurance reform bills were crafted – clandestine meetings, Democrat House leadership locking the GOP out of committee conference rooms, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the President himself holding non-public partisan meetings to craft strategy – to understand that not only does the status quo partisan political era remain, it has gotten worse to a caustic level.
Ethics -
The issue of ethics was a central talking point in the 2006 midterm elections. In fact, when Nancy Pelosi ascended to the House Speakership, she took an oath, promising to the American people, that she intended to, “...lead the most honest, most open and most ethical congress in history."
Today, in 2010:
▪ John Murtha (D-PA) still enjoys the confidence of Speaker Pelosi.
▪ William Jefferson (D-LA) was convicted and sentence to jail for taking bribes.
▪ Charles Rangel (D-NY) is the subject of an ethics investigation focusing on his fundraising practices for a college center in his name, his ownership financing of a resort property in the Dominican Republic and his financial disclosure reports.
Further, in addition to the House ethics issues:
▪ Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader from South Dakota, abandoned his bid to become health and human services secretary and the administration's point man on reforming health care because of tax issues and potential conflicts of interest related to working with health care interests.
▪ Nancy Killefer stepped down from a newly created position charged with eliminating inefficient government programs because of tax issues.
▪ Timothy Geithner was confirmed after revealing he had tax troubles.
▪ Obama's initial choice for commerce secretary, Bill Richardson, stepped aside due to a grand jury investigation into a state contract awarded to his political donors.
▪ And while the Senate voted overwhelmingly to confirm William Lynn as deputy defense secretary, Obama had to waive his ethics regulations to place the former defense lobbyist in charge of day-to-day operations at the Pentagon.
And the list goes on and on.
Pelosi & The CIA -
Nancy Pelosi was proven to be untruthful in her assertion that the Central Intelligence Agency didn’t accurately brief her on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques used on terrorist detainees at the Guantanamo Bay military detention facility. Ms. Pelosi stuck to her story in defiance of overwhelming proof that she was, indeed, briefed on the use of these interrogation tactics. In the end, CIA Director Leon Panetta prevailed and Ms. Pelosi slinked away into the shadows, refusing to discuss the subject in public. The media soon grew bored of their truth vigil and the subject faded to black.
I have touched on but a very few issues that have found the Obama Administration and the Progressive Democrat leadership in Congress in a juxtaposed position to what they promised the American people. All of these examples – and again, this list just scratches the surface, coupled with the full range of offenses, could fill a book (one can refer to Michelle Malkin’s book, Culture of Corruption, for a more in-depth look).
The point I am trying to make here is that if the 2010 midterm elections are about anything they should be about the restoration of honesty in government. That honesty has become a commodity in Washington DC is a shameful reflection on not only the political class but on those who repeatedly elect these ethically challenged political opportunists and elitist oligarchs to office.
America, isn’t it time that we asked our Democrat and liberal friends (forget about the Progressives, they are too far gone) why they tolerate being lied to; how they can continue to support politicians who have been proven to have lied to the American people about some really important issues? Isn’t it time we ask our liberal and Democrat friends why we – as a people – should accept dishonesty and untruthfulness from those we send to Washington to serve our best interests? Isn’t it time that we ask our liberal and Democrat friends, “What kind of government are your party’s politicians bequeathing to our children?”
Perhaps – just perhaps – we should be asking ourselves the exact same question. Maybe then we will be adequately motivated to demand good government over politics in Washington DC.
