Grizzly Groundswell member Emery McLendon hosts a TREMENDOUS blog/website. He uses Ham Radio and the Internet to reach out to our troops and their families. It’s great to know that Ham Radio remains viable in the 21st century in conjunction with the internet. This is a positive example of talk meeting new/old medium.

Thanks Emery; have added you to my blogroll.

It very much sounds like the latter if this Boston Globe story is to be believed. “Political Consultants” don’t come off too well in this story either (I can feel Michael Goldman’s sweaty breath seeping through my computer screen). Business as usual from the man who promised to change business as usual in Massachusetts. Kudos to Frank Phillips for uncovering this.

…and we at Bottom Line Radio commend him for it. The Massachusetts business community has been and still is far too quiescent in successfully advocating for matters pertaining to its self-interest. Until that changes, we will all suffer as business enterprise is the engine of economic growth and prosperity. Kudos to John Hurst in this important piece. Perhaps it will encourage others to speak out as well.

President Bush awarded the Medal of Honor to PFC Ross A. McGinnis for valorous service in the Iraq theater. McGinnis was 19 years of age. For additional details on the ceremony: And for those of you interested in the Medal of Honor.

Speaking as someone who attends church and is politically involved, I can readily understand why some Americans feel repulsed by elements of “organized religion”. The attached article by Boston Globe reporter Peter Canellos sums it up. In my humble opinion, politicians of all stripes should not be using church services as campaign stops/opportunities. Furthermore, clerics of all stripes should stick to their primary business: talking about God and how to know Him/Her better.

On Friday, June 6th at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, I will interview Richard Baker. Mr. Baker is a candidate for Massachusetts Congressional Sixth district seat. He is running as a Republican and deserves consideration on that stance alone. For more info, or to listen to and/or download the program: http://blogtalkradio.com/bottomlineradio

A quick and dirty assessment of the story behind the story. Kudos to American Thinker author William Tate for providing some much needed insight on this story.  For me, the “aha” moment of the article is that it suggests the McClellan book’s publisher has ties to George Soros. No need to say more Mr. Tate. George Soros is America’s Stealth Bomber, a rabidly anti-American, left-wing subversive whose modus-operandi is artifice, guile and stealth. For more info on Soros. Add to this mix quiescent, possibly bitter and possibly financially desparate Scott McClellan and the stage is set for a lot of headscratching. More importantly, this “book” says a lot about the nature of America’s enemies, internal to be sure. It shows the Democrat party has been hijacked by anti-American subversives, since Soros is a major contributor to a host of Democrats not the least of which is Barack Obama (another quiescent subversive). It shows that Soros and those of his ilk will stop AT NOTHING to secure their ignoble objectives. It shows that America’s Patriotic class must be EVER VIGILANT to threats from within!!!!! The left of old was represented by the Communist Party, a relatively visible and loud organization ; the left of today is represented by stealthy, wealthy, subtle, well-organized and decidely subversive elements.

Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, has written a vitally important book: “Leave Us Alone – Getting the Government’s Hands Off our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives”. Simply put, Norquist recasts the traditional liberal/conservative divide into the following two groups: The Takings Coalition and the Leave Us Alone Coalition, respectively. A more simplistic delineation: parasite and host. In Massachusetts, the parasites consist mainly of the following groups: public employee union bosses, non-profits, coercive utopians, urban political machines and trial lawyers. The interview can be heard at: http://blogtalkradio.com/bottomlineradio (May 27th archive). Hardly a day goes by when one or more of the parasite groups manages to gouge Massachusetts taxpayers again and again. For how long, is anyone’s guess.

It’s ironic (or is it?) that the name Raoul Wallenberg has been echoing through the chambers of my mind for approximately a month. Then lo and behold, the following Time article on Wallenberg’s disapperance. He acted heroically, saving hundreds of thousands of Jews from certain death at the hands of Hitler. My original introduction into his story was through a talk radio interview with the author(I believe) of the book Righteous Gentile by John Bierman. Perhaps the renewed attention will shed some well-deserved light on this man’s fate.
