I have had it with Berkeley, California, that anti-American bastion of disloyalty to the values and existence of the United States of America.
In February, 2008, the Berkeley City Council approved a measure calling for Marine recruiters to leave Berkeley, because they "are not welcome in our city." If recruiters chose to stay, they would do so as "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
The Council also applauded any residents or organizations that "volunteer to impede, passively or actively, by non-violent means, the work of any military recruiting office located in the City of Berkeley." And a handful of folks did just that - some held up signs which said "No Military Predators in Our Town," or "Join the Marines. Travel to Exotic Lands. Meet Exciting and Unusual People - and Kill Them."

I'm certain you've heard of the vile, blasphemous, ferociously mean, insensitive, disgusting and downright evil actions of the members of the Phelps family of Topeka's Westboro Baptist church - a group of trash who give Christianity a seriously bad name. This group travels all over the country, protesting at military funerals, and saying that "the deaths of soldiers are God's way of punishing the country for homosexuality." Motorcycle groups like the Patriot Riders travel to these funerals as well, to rev between these slime (who call themselves religious) and the suffering family and friends gathering for the funeral of an American hero, a son, a brother, a husband, or a friend.

You'd like to think that, as a parent, you know a lot about the friends your children have. In this particular instance, unfortunately, that was not the case:

Volunteering for the military means a number of important things:
It's a noble act of patriotism
It means accepting authority over every aspect of your life
It's a seriously dangerous job
It's not exactly a high-paying job
You get benefits during and after service
You have a community of support
It involves structure and discipline
It's a heroic endeavor
It is an honorable, self-sacrificing career
It is worthy of great respect
So, when someone wishes to
volunteer
for relatively low pay and high danger to protect you and me, I say "THANK YOU" and "huzzah!"

Something very scary is starting in this country - in the land of the free that you and I all love - so you need to pay attention.
Four months ago, I said I was ending my terrestrial radio show at the end of the year because I wanted to regain my First Amendment rights. A lot of intellectuals snickered and said I didn't know what I was talking about - only the
government
can take away First Amendment rights. I was only being threatened by
non
-government organizations like Media Matters.

People seem very confused about happiness. Most folks believe that
having
all they want is the way to be happy. I don't think so.
When I was on the radio evenings in Los Angeles over two decades ago, I reached a "24 share." That meant one out of four people listening to Los Angeles radio was tuned into me. I got a substantial bonus. We took that money and paid off all financial obligations and had some left over.
I had always wanted a tennis bracelet - that's a bracelet made of tiny or huge diamonds. I had enough money for a bracelet with tiny diamonds, but a tennis bracelet nonetheless. My husband told me to treat myself, and I did. I felt a swell of joy every time I looked at that bracelet.
I did not feel joy because I had a diamond bracelet on my wrist.
