RUSH LIMBAUGH TAKES ON THE NFL AND THE RACE CARD

A great piece by Rush Limbaugh was put online last night by the Wall Street Journal. I encourage you to read it. On today’s Chad Hasty Show we will discuss this topic. Read the story and let me know what you think.

Rush Limbaugh: The Race Card, Football, and Me

Part of the article:

The NFL players union boss, DeMaurice Smith, jumped in. A Washington criminal defense lawyer, Democratic Party supporter and Barack Obama donor, he sent a much publicized email to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying that it was important for the league to reject discrimination and hatred.

When Mr. Goodell was asked about me, he suggested that my 2003 comment criticizing the media’s coverage of Donovan McNabb—in which I said the media was cheerleading Mr. McNabb because they wanted a successful black quarterback—fell short of the NFL’s “high standard.” High standard? Half a decade later, the media would behave the same way about the presidential candidacy of Mr. Obama.

OBAMA: THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND PRESIDENT

President Obama has obviously forgotten what being  President of the United States is all about. Obama’s job is to protect the people of the United States. To look out for our well being. To be the man in the office who is confronted with many problems, but can make a decision on how to better this country. The President should also listen to the people.

President Obama isn’t doing any of that.

Instead the President of the United States has decided he wants to become the Supreme Community Organizer of the United States. President Obama is actually taking time to fly to Europe, not to discuss Afghanistan or the global economy, but to try and woo the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and get the 2016 games in Chicago. Why? It’s not his job to do this! Let the Mayor of Chicago do that or maybe Michael Jordan or Mike Ditka. NOT the President. I would be saying the same thing if George W. Bush had taken time off to go and lobby for the games in Texas.

Not only is it not Obama’s job, but what happens if he’s told no? It will make him look even weaker to people here in the U.S. and around the world.

Robert Gibbs also told us yesterday that President Obama has been discussing gang violence in Chicago with top advisors and will have some type of policy (speech) soon.

Again, it’s not Obama’s job to create some new policy about gangs. We all know they are bad. It’s not going to be this huge revelation to us. I don’t want my President or his top advisers concentrating on gang violence. They have much bigger problems to tackle. Let local people take care of the gangs. Let States take care of violence. Yes, the President should care about the youth and their future, but if he would help fix the economy and bring jobs back to this country it might cut down on some violence.

President Obama needs to figure out what his priorities are. He has 2 wars, the economy, jobs, terror, health care, immigration, and more on his plate. Why take the time to mess with the Olympics and gangs?

If Obama wants to worry about gangs, Olympics, youth violence, and people participating in community service, then it’s time for Obama to resign and run for Mayor of Chicago. He could even run for Governor if he wants. Right now, the President is in over his head and he might not know what he’s doing. He’s proven to be an ineffective President when it comes to big national issues, so now it’s time to get back to concentrating on being a community organizer.

LUBBOCK BUDGET RAISES TAXE… FEES.

The city budget that was proposed today by City of Lubbock staffers keeps taxes flat, BUT would raise stormwater fees by 50% on homeowners and steep hikes to businesses to cover road maintenance.

The council will decide later on the budget and how much more (if any) you will fork over.

The word fee is funny. For some reason people are OK with fees, but not taxes. I hope people remember that fees ARE taxes! It’s just a nicer word than tax. We’ve all heard that some want to raise the gas TAX to pay for roads. Well if the City Council wants to raise your stormwater FEE by 50% to maintain roads, what’s the difference?

Fees=Taxes. Just remember.

Rick Perry Announces Special Session for July 1st.

From Gov. Rick Perry’s office:

Gov. Perry Announces Special Session for July 1

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today announced that a special session of the Texas Legislature will begin on Wednesday, July 1, at 10 a.m.

“The 81st Legislative Session was one of the most successful in recent memory, providing a tax cut to 40,000 small businesses and increasing financial aid for college students by more than 40 percent, all without touching our states Rainy Day Fund,” Gov. Perry said. “After speaking with legislators I am calling a special session to extend the operation of five critical agencies and help reduce gridlock by continuing to provide options for financing our state’s highways.”

The special session will consider the following issues:

·         Legislation extending the existence of five state agencies that were subject to sunset review by the 81st Legislature that would otherwise be abolished without legislative action, and to change the review schedule for certain state agencies to balance the Sunset Advisory Commission’s workload. These agencies include the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Insurance, Texas Racing Commission, Office of Public Insurance Counsel and Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation.
·         Legislation allowing the Texas Department of Transportation to issue general obligation bonds, which have already been approved by voters, for highway improvement projects, and for the creation, administration, financing and use of a Texas Transportation Revolving Fund to provide financial assistance for transportation projects.
·         Legislation extending the authority of the Texas Department of Transportation and a regional mobility authority to use comprehensive development agreements to design, finance, build and maintain transportation infrastructure.
