Some of you may remember Doug McIntyre, a conservative talk show host, recently apologized for supporting GWB in 2000, is on a "witch hunt" against a public charter school in Los Angeles that caters to immigrant children. Why is he going after this school, you ask. The basis of the school is one in which encourages the study of indigenous traditions in order to get children proficient in the three "Rs." The school is called Academia Semillas de Pueblo(The seeds of the village academy)http://www.dignidad.org/. As part of the lunatic fringe, who believe in the Malkin theory of Immigration, they see this as part of some "Reconquista" movement. Over at Orcinus has exposed the connection between the extreme right wing and these immigration bashers who attack anything, "Mexican." Read More

This was taken from the Arizona Repulsive..er..Republic website:

"We are pleased to announce the rebirth of Air America Phoenix.

This was gathered through Desert Rat Democrat's http://www.desertratdemocrat.com/ comment section and Dr. Mike Newcomb's Bulletin Board.

The post is from Jeff Farias, Dr. Mike's producer and a former weekend host, along with Rep. Krysten Sinema:

"First, I'd like to thank those of you who have stood up and defended our right to do something to save our radio station. This has been a difficult week and I can honstly say I never anticipated being attacked by the left for organizing a peoples' movement to regain a progressive radio voice in AZ. I'm glad so many of you took time to call me to hear our side of things. I feel like I'd made some new friends and I guess I could thank Ed for that. I am not boasting, for I do not possess any great gift for persuasion, but every skeptical person who called me in the last week left the conversation as a supporter of our effort. I believe that is due largely in part to the sincerity of our effort and the basic belief that America belongs to we the people - not we the corporation or we the investors. Sadly, team Fargo chose not to hear our side. Read More

As I looked through the internet looking for more information on Air America Phoenix, I came across this, http://www.saveairamericaphoenix.com/... through the Dr. Mike Newcomb show website. According to the web site, April is looking like the return of Air America to Phoenix. As those of you who are familiar with AA Phoenix, Dr. Mike's show preceeded Charles Goyette's. Hopefully this will mean that liberals, progressives and fair minded conservatives and libratarians will have a place to listen to the truth on the air soon.

The following is a excerpt I found particularly appropriate for the times we live in currently (From Power vs Force by David R Hawkins)...:

"Many political systems and social movements begin with true power, but as time goes on, they become co-opted by self-seekers and end up relying increasingly on force until they finally fall in disgrace. The history of civilization demonstrates this repeatedly...
To fully comprehend the dichotomy we're discussing, it's necessary to consider the difference between politicians and statesmen. Politicians, operating out of expediency, rule by force after gaining their position through the force of persuasion- often calibrating at a level less than 200. [Levels of anger, desire, and fear (emphasis mine)]" Read More
