Greetings to those who logged on to this blog. We ran into a few technical difficulties in giving you the ten commandments but we fixed some of it. I decided to offer no commentary on it in between the cerses as I had planned on. There are two postings after (ie. before) the stuff with the Bible verses in it and there we offer you plenty of comentary.

Bearing false witness is not lying to protect another from capture like with Jews hunting the Nazis in world war II. People who say the Jews should have turned in their friends whom they were hiding don't know their Bible. Bearing false witness has to do with a very specific court testimony where you are making an accusation against your neighbor. You are to obey oaths you sware to God. The solution to falsely swaring to God is not to refuse to sware at all, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, the solution is to Sware Truthfully. If any President of witness before congress refuses to put himself under oath and be sworn in, he is a coward and shouldn't be listened to.

Taking the Lord's name in vain is not uttering an occasional Hell of Damn but rather invoking God's name in a vain pursuit as the Christians do. Taking the Lord's name in vain is uttering a false prophecy and having it fail. Taking the Lord's name in vain is doing or saying anything in God's name that you can't perfonally back up with proof.

Adultry presupposes there is some "thing" to adulterate. Marriage can be adulterated. A single person dating another single person can not be said to be in sin because he is not under any contract not to do the thing he is being accused of. You can't be unfailthful to something which does not exist. "Pre-marital sex" is not a phraise pro or con used in the Bible.

You can covet more than your neighbor's posessions. You can covet your neighbor's God if he is prospering as a Christian and you aren't doing well at the moment as a non Christians. You can covet your neighbor's "peace of mind" which is not yours, any more than his wife or his car is yours to covet. Neither is his relations with his own god "yours" to covet.

Nowhere or in no matter is it implied that the Sabbath is null and void for Christians. Indeed all of God's law is a "perpetual covenent" and the rule is there for a reason.

And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

1 :	Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 :	If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3 :	If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 :	If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
5 :	And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
6 :	Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
7 :	And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 :	If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 :	And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 :	If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 :	And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
12 :	He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13 :	And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
14 :	But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15 :	And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 :	And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
17 :	And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 :	And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
19 :	If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
20 :	And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 :	Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
22 :	If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 :	And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 :	Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 :	Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 :	And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
27 :	And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
28 :	If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
29 :	But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 :	If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 :	Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
32 :	If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 :	And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
34 :	The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
35 :	And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
36 :	Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. : If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2 : If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 3 : If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4 : If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double. 5 : If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. 6 : If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. 7 : If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double. 8 : If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods. 9 : For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour. 10 : If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: 11 : Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good. 12 : And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 13 : If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. 14 : And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good. 15 : But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire. 16 : And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17 : If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 18 : Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. 19 : Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 20 : He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. 21 : Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22 : Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 : If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 : And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 25 : If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 26 : If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 27 : For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 28 : Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. 29 : Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. 30 : Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 31 : And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. 1 : Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 2 : Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: 3 : Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 4 : If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 5 : If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. 6 : Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 7 : Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. 8 : And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 9 : Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 10 : And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 11 : But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard. 12 : Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. 13 : And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 14 : Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I

Allright for you people logging in mid day Monday May 1st. we just got done with an expository evaluation of The Ten Commandments. In case you are wondering this blog originates in the Los Angeles area. Wasn't that LA Lakers game something yesterday? The game was just barely tied at the last minute to send the game into overtime and then won at the last minute by one point. Now the LA Lakers are up three games to one over the dreaded Phoenix Suns. If the Lakers can get past the Suns there's no reason why they don't have a good shot of going all the way. As you know today is May first. Law day. And so in the post I haven't written yet I thought it appropiate to talk about what ethical principles I was guided by. Of course May first has been a "workers" day. It started off as a pagen Witch's Sabbath, one of which occurred four times a year in the middle of each of the four seasons. The Russians appropiated this celebration as a holiday. One Jew asked another back during World War II "When will Adolph Hitler be killed" and the other Jews said, "I won't know exactly, but I know it will be on a Jewish holiday" and the other man said, "How so?" and the first said "Any day Hitler is killed will be a Jewish holiday". Almost.

I thought of setting up a blog called "Impeachment Watch". It seems as if George Bush is getting himself deeper and deeper all the time. KTLK is running these adds for "The Nation" and saying if you were too young to miss Watergate this time you can get in on the ground floor. You can download their articles of impeachment on the internet. I'd do it for you now but I don't want to get kicked off this blog site for copyright violations. Today Al Frankin on 1150 is doing a personality comparrison between Franklin Roosevelt and George Bush. Of course AM 1150 can be accessed on the internet. Do a Google search for KTLK 1150 AM. If you watch FOX comedies like the Simpsons and Family Guy, you know the liberals are on the run. Of course today in LA is a day of demonstration activity for the Mexican race. I have no position on that one day or the other. But I do think Bush's immigration bill is probably the best thing they're going to get as to "being legal" is concerned. They should grab the deal.

"Betrayed with a kiss on a cool night of bliss - - and there's no time to think"

Back in early 1988 I had another of my famous dreams. This one was a dream about Judas. I dreamed I was Judas and that the date of Christ's crusifiction was the Hebrew first of Elul, or their six month, which occurs sometime in August of each year. It is said to be the beginning of the forty "days of awe" when they blow the choffar (sp?) every day for forty dayd. When Moses first went up to Mt. Sinai it was "pentacost". When he came down it was on the seventeenth of Tammuz, which is in July, when he broke the tablets. On the first of Elul Moses again ascended the Holy Mount and came back down on Yom Kippur, 40 days later with the unbroken tablets. As you know the forty days Moses was first on the mount it was Party Time down below. If Jesus was the 2nd. Moses then the first of Elul date makes a little sense. This would be on a new moon where it would at least be possible to have a total ecclipse. This just might explain the three hours of darkness of Christ on the cross. However none of the other things took place such as the curtain of the temple in Jerusalem being torn in two- - didn't happen. In this dream I as Judas regretted the betrayal of Jesus almost from the moment I did it. I hoped Jesus wouldn't be killed. I remembered not being to find out any information but there were only roomers. St. Peter came and told me a day or so later, perhaps the same day that Jesus would appear to all of the desciples in two weeks on the next full moon. I think Joseph of Arithmea or someone told Peter. I waited out the period anxiously and I kept hearing roomers he'd put in an appearence, but it never happened and gradually the apostles one by one lost interest. I remember being in a cave being up all night and looking out to the west seeing the past full moon in the early morning sky. I remember thinking of my mother, whom I had been mailing money to out of the money purse, and I believe I was composing one last letter to her. I remember crying out to God in anguish how God could allow this thing to happen but my thoughts were of suicide and something that I had to do.

A Rock and Roll interlude. If the compilation on the last blog begins climbing up the charts, after a while we'll release another from the Federation and I have this perfect follow-up in mind. It was compiled in late September 2004 and it is drawn from songs in a narrow eight year period from 1970 to 1978 when the songs were the most prolific.

JUST GIMME SOME TRUTH

It occurred to me that if you don't have truth, everything else you say will lose credibility. Yesterday on "Breakfast with the Beatles" the DJ was insensed at hoe bogus a certain seance to reach John Lennon was. For you new people my position on the dead is this. I believe that the "soul" or self as we know it is mortal and "passes" with the both out of existance. However I, like the Greeks believe that ideas have a reality of their own. And that includes the ideas of people, their values and what they stand for. As such I believe that the dead can be contacted in a matter of fashion. In the seance John asked about Sean but not Julian. For those who know John this is one major "blind spot" or flaw in his personality. He likes to pretend his son with Cynthia doesn't exist. He never really acknoledged him when he was alive and now that he's dead nothing in changed. "John" in the seance did say one thing I definitely take issue with. He said that the afterlife is "anything you want it to be". Not if it includes Yoco it doesn't. Yoco isn't there. In a lot of the "Messages" I get from the dead, couples, or for that matter, mothers and sons, ect. are not together. I only say this because there is one big truth, "What you are is what you are". I say this because people picture themselves "getting saved" and "something positive transforms their very nature" so that their after life is now vastly improved from what it would otherwise be. Think about this and how little sense it makes. They say you are in "heaven" or are in "hell" for an eternity all because you said "Deal" or "No Deal" to the offer of Jesus of eternal salvation, as if Jesus personally came up and offered it to you. If you think about it a block of wood- - - a wood carving as as much "credential" to be "alive" in the afterlife as a human being does. How long is eternity. In the twelve billion years of the Universe and all the time to come till the universe is destroyed- - - not one second will have ticked off the clock of eternity. After all for life to take place something has to be going on. Cells are dividing and growing and nutrition is being matabalized. This all takes place in time, and with eternity, there is no time. As such it is positively absurd to say "as of March 24th. 1976 I knew I was going to heaven". The date "March 24th. means nothing in eternity. The mormons say that when you die the life you had before birth and your memory of it will be restored to you. This makes more sense than what the fundamentalists say. Eternity has no end and no beginning and doesn't even ralate to time. So you can't say something like "In early March of 1986 John Smith sealed his fate for all eternity and is now going to hell". Eternity doesn't know "1986" or any other date or year. As such "worrying about eternity" is even sillier than worrying about using your outdoor grill causing global warming. Think about it.

There is a book I've been reading the past few days called "Destined for Salvation" and it is subtitled "God's plan to save everyone". Scripture says Jesus' blood is sufficient to save the whole world. It is also stated "God's will is that everyone come to knowledge of Him". You know there used to be a song, "What ever Lola wants, Lola gets". Is not God greater than some woman trying to seduce a man younger than herself in a baseball stadium locker? Two words really not in God's vocabularly are "want" and "wait". For God words are things. If he says it, it happens. And yet we are told- - "Christ died only for the sins of the elect". How do you get "elect". Saint Paul tells you that nobody can come to God unless the Holy Spirit draws him. There is also another doctrine called "total depravity". This translates as follows: Human kind is unable to make a moral decision on anything- and that includes a decision to "save himself". Jesus Christ on KFI has stated, "It is an insult to say that Christ didn't do it all on the cross". If this be so, that Christ "did it all" on the cross than Praise the Lord, it's done! God came to save the world- - and God is sovreign so vualah- - the world must ipso facto be saved. The book Destined for Salvation also speaks of 'Irrestable Grace". This doctrine is not original with this book. John Calvin taught that "those who are meant to be saved, will be saved". (Selah)

The book went on to talk about Justinian. This guy wasn't a nice fellow. He is said to be the "last Roman Emperor". He became emperor in 425 or something and reigned for forty years to become an old man and died in 465 or something. It is said he unified the Roman law codes in a way they never had been done before. But he was also tyranical. I've heard that the library in Alexandria in Egypt was burned down under his reign. He snuffed out any native worship of the classical Greek Gods. He also made Christians fight in the army for the first time. Gone was the Christian belief in pacifism. He set a lot of bad precidents. There were still a lot of people in the Catholic church that believed in Universal salvation for all prior to Justinian. But Judtinian rooted them out and eliminated them. Origen and many other theologians in earlier centuries believed in universal salvation. There was a web site I logged into that quoted mountains of scripture in the old testament where "going to Hell" was not listed as a punishment.

Mark Twain was said to have rejected God because God created Hell and also caused innocent children to suffer. I had always thought Mark Twane was a Christian. The book states that many are driven away from God because they cannot reconsile God being all powerful and all good and at the same time allowing Evil to win such a massive victory. (Selah)

IS GOD'S WILL TRUELY DONE ON EARTH?

Dear Larry Elder,

I am inspired to write you today by a remark I heard you nake on your show about a week ago. You were criticizing some caller because they said that they were battling the Devil, and you said, "I believe God is in control of things". I don't, and I don't believe such an attitude is even Biblical. As you will remember Jesus was tempted by Satan and offered the world if he would just bow down and worship Satan. Here's the opperative line: These things are Mine and I may give them to whoever I choose". Jesus did not contest this statement. I know where the attitude stems from. That "Jesus" fellow over on the other station espouses the view that there no longer is a Satan. These people often go on to talk about how the future is in God's hands because God knows the future because he's predestined all things down to the smallest detail- - down to the last hickup- - from the foundation of the Earth. There was one group of Christians that in the 1996 election prayed "Thy will be done", even though it led to Clinton being elected. You may not believe this but I was strongly for Bob Dole that year for a multitude of reasons. These same Christians have the attitude that "Our side has won and nothing can go wrong now, and don't even dare to imply otherwise because you'll ruin our perfect day". The attitude of a real Winner is the realization that he could lose if he doesn't give it his all, and that it all isn't somehow "scripted out in advance by some divine hand" in advance. There are people that believe we make our own future.

I say all this because frankly if I were President Bush now I would not be a happy camper. Not one bit. You have civil threatened in Iraq between the Sunis and the Shiites. You have formerly conservative people like Bill Crystal and William Buckley breaking rank and saying what Howard Dean was criticized for saying "The war in Iraq is lost". You have Bush down to 34% approval in the polls and you've got Hillary beating the Secretary of State in a two woman race. In fact the only republican who can beat Hillary now is John Mc Cain. It used to be almost any republican would beat her a few months back but things have slipped since then. The funny thing is if "Our side" (meaning the liberals) wins, we'll all be happy for the most part. If "Your side" loses, all you will be able to do is be like those Born Again (so called) Christians and say "Thy will be done". You'll have to come up with a reason why the democrats now control congress and suffered such stunning losses in 2006. In fact if you don't "accept the loss" some of the "Thy will be done" ilk will say that you "Just don't understand the purpose of God". The Democrats don't have that problem. To them a win is a win. (Selah)

Believe it or not I am still a registered Republican and am one of those who plans to vote for Mc Cain. Actually I am afraid, as you should be too, of a political split in the Republicans right down the middle. There's also a survay that says conservative talk shows are declining in popularity. Believe it or not I had hopes for President Bush. I hoped Roe vs Wade would be overturned. I hoped Social Security would be privitized. This is a crisis that's headed headlong for disaster, and soon. It's not a question of "either- or" but rather "both- - - and". Anything that CAN be done SHOULD be done to save social securety from ruin and that includes raising taxes AND setting up private accounts. I would like to see more alternative energy research. I would like to see both security at our borders AND our ports tightened. So many people are Bush "Kool Aid drinkers" who say Bush can do no wrong. It was my hope that the United States would be more respected around the world than it was under Clinton. I'd like to see no fault divorce laws repealed, and respect for the sanctitude of marriage increased. I am not much more confortable than you at all the left-wing movies up for accademy awards this year. I think we should revive that "NAZI" method of extractring gasoline from coal in Montana, if it's really cleaner. To be honist- if I were President I don't think the Katrina people would be any happier with me than with President Bush. Bush has done about all he can do and basically you and I agree it's the fault of the state and local planners who should have known better. Actually, I haven't made up my mind whom I'll vote for President in 2008 yet.

THROUGH THE RIGHT WING LOOKING GLASS

Dearl Larry Elder, Since my last letter was the first letter I wrote you I didn't even get around to touching upon the many, many concerns I have about your beliefs and your radio program. It's a strange world when any speaker gets up and criticizes a congressman who lived in the 1830's as "Too Liberal" for your tastes. Davie Crockett being lectured by a farmer for voting for relief from a local fire is a scenario I wouldn't believe as a Twilight Zone episode. Of course who would have guessed? Last year's villain was Valerie Plame (?) who was "outed" as part of a political vendetta against her husband, because he wasn't "giving the report the Bush Administration wanted to hear" about Iraq. I've been reading Bob Woodword's book and I find it tedius and depressing because Bush only wants to hear one thing from his subordenates and friends and that's unqualified support of whatever he does. The paranoia sounded by people like you and Rush Limbaugh just isn't Mc Carthyism, it's Joe Mc Carthy on steroids! You people "explain" that you can't trust the CIA because THAT has been taken over by liberals. You can't trust the State Department because it has been taken over by liberals. You can't trust congress because it, the "representatives of the people" has been taken over by liberals. I don't know who does the call screening on shows like youre but that's the first thing I'd change if I were program producer. This whole idea of "Being at War" is a term that could backfire on you. Let me get this straight. About the only time we WERN'T at war was during the terms of Bush 41 and BILL CLINTON. I know you bristle when someone says "George Bush is the first president who has cut taxes during war time". By the way we could talk about Ronald Reagan. He "got lucky" with the Russians. He played Russian roulette- - and won. If it was my child thinking of "Going thou and doing likewise" I would have a very stern lecture with my son.

I guess I'd like to know what the 'Ideal World" of Larry Elder is. Is it the John Kovelt vision of the world where the rich huddle behind multi-locked doors and securety systems cowering from all those blacks out to get 'em. And of course "They" are out to raise their property taxes. Of course Police don't seem to value the Property of Blacks the way they do of Whites. There was that case of the unarmed van and over one hundred shots being fired at an unarmed driver turning the local neighborhood into the OK Caral. You have Tiesha Miller who was gunned down in a hail of bullets. As John Kovel explains it "Once the adrenelin gets pumping, those cops can't control themselves? We know you hate ghetto people. I wonder how much you've done constructive about it. Ghettos are plagued with drugs. How much time have you actually SPENT talking about drug dealers on your program? Prostitution is a problem but I'll tell you this: If more Black women listened to Gloria Alred instead of you they'd have more respect for their own bodies and not allow themselves to be used and debased, or used as someone's punching bag. The ghetto has it's scammers and con artists. There are certain "forms of Capitalisum" that are just immoral and un-Christian, no matter how you slice it. Of course we have already talked about the minimum wage. If it were at the level YOU WANT IT to be nobody would be able to earn any kind of a living but even more people would be forced to get on the Welfare tread-mill.

You have people who aren't what they seem. Blacks who aren't really Blacks, Gays who aren't really Gays, and Jews who aren't really Jews. I've heard now that only two percent of Blacks currently support George Bush. Wouldn't it be nice to hear from the other 98% on talk radio? The only gays you hear on the radio are people like Al Rantell and Tammy Bruce. By the way- wasn't it gays, according to Oliver Stone, who wanted to kill President Kennedy? I just thought I'd mention that. You yourself call yourself a Christian and also write for some Jewish publication. Dennis Prager calls himself a Jew but he spends so much time kissing fundamentalist Christianity's ass it's hard to tell. You know there is something called the Samson Option that Christians talk about. If Isrial finds itself attacked, either literally or in their minds, these people advise Nuking the whole region and sending people to the Promised Land. You know who has the expression "It's Going to all Burn" don't you? Chuck Smith. A lot of Christians today are nehilists. They- in opposition to Classic Conservatisum- - have a very low view of Human Nature. I've said enough. I've heard that "Jesus Christ" fellow on the other station so don't get me started on him. I only mention this stuff because some will say "It's not the Governments job to be charitable and compassionate; that's the church's". Well, you know the people who say this have the "same hearts" and the same low view of humanity whether in the Church Pew, or in the Voting Booth.

RIGHT WING HORRORS

Your address didn't turn dark so maybe that means that this publication won't send.

Dear Larry Elder. I have been a listener of your show on KABC since you first came on the air as a counter-point to Gloria Alred. Frankly I liked you a lot better when you were with her than now that you're by yourself. KFI and KABC have gotten so right wing it's hard to imagine that you both aren't losing all your listeners, particularly KABC. I think it's pretty safe to say you are anything but Libertarian. Ultra conservative is more like it.

Some of the "right wing horrors" of your show consist of your solution to the illegal alien problem, which is to wipe out the "safty net" here and eliminate all government education and welfare. Further you don't seem to mind that illegal aliens are depressing the wage base and tightening the employment market, more in bad times than now. You also seem to have a cure for teenage deliquency by saying "Those people should work for three dollars an hour so you can learn the value of a dollar". You are beyond right wing. Around you time and space seem distorted. You have indicated that you think insider trading in stocks should be allowed. Like Samuel Allito you seem to always favor the big corporation and stick it to the little guy. You say you are in favor of "free markets" and yet you are against US citizens being allowed to purchase drugs in Canada because this would cut into drug company profits. You and I might actually agree on something. We both agree that that Bush bill on senior drug discount Sucks. It's just another way to feed corporate profits.

On race relations your position is worse. There doesn't seem to be a cop beating that you don't like. I don't know if you have yet weighed in on that cop shooting of a guy who was lying down and ordered to get up and then shot. You say (at least I think you do) you want Blacks to get ahead and yet you can't resist saying how many Black men are in prison or how many unwed mothers there are. If you are ever in the position of saying something Good about your race like how things are better than they used to be, it's done with clinched teeth and resentment. You are against affirmitive action. You are against racial quotas, and I'm not big on racial quotas, either, per se. But I'll tell you this: If I were a Supreme Court justice and a case like the University of Michigan came before me where whites had to have a higher score I would try the case on its legal basis and not with my emotion. My soul consideration would be whether the law allowing quotas was legal and if it was I'd respect the oppinion of the legeslators. You'd be hard pressed to somehow justify overturning a law promoting racial equality on the basis of the 14th. Amendment. To say that you are an Uncle Tom is an insult to the original 1852 Novel character.

In case you are wonder I am on the under stratum of society. I live in a Board and Care home. If you must know I am the first person in this building to get on the internet. In case you are also interested I may be "too well off" because I just learned of some technicality where my S S I may be in jeopardy.

Before your show this afternoon, February 1st. 2006 I didn't think George Bush's speech had much good in it. You pointed out there WERE a fleeting few good sentaments in the speech, and that's about all they are. I disagree with your statement that "We are at War" and therefore all civel liberties are suspended. You'd think a libertarian would be in favor of civel liberties, wouldn't you? Apparently not.

I always believe in respecting readers of my postings. Thank you for your time.
