You You may have heard a number of callers on the show in recent days talking about people from right here in the Upstate who were caught up in the Russian Invasion of Georgia as well as former Georgian’s now living here.

I wanted to share some of the news and photos with you that those listeners have made available to me.

First here’s the latest on Carolyn Rice, who’s served with Abortion Recovery Center in Georgia.

Dear faithful prayer partners, I arrived safely this morning in my beloved Georgia. At passport control, the officer smiled big and said, “thank you for coming to our country at such a time and we thank your country for the help they are giving us. Welcome!” Today I have been to Beteli center and we have planned a day of training on crisis and trauma for Saturday. They had already been thinking of which people would be invited to take this training, and decided the people had to be good listeners.

My interpreter’s name is Nino. (Katherine, it’s your Nino from camp!) Please pray for her as she has lots of work to get the materials in order before Saturday and to learn lots of new terminology. And pray for me – for wisdom in what and how to teach on Saturday. Pray for the participants who will be doing crisis debriefings among the refugees after the seminar.

After the planning meeting, I visited with some of the refugee children, played games with them, and held some babies there. Then I talked with some of the mothers about their experiences. Most of the refugees’ homes were burned, so they have no home to return to. Others left ahead of the soldiers and don’t know the state of their homes. They will stay at Beteli as refugees until the Russian soldiers leave and homes can be rebuilt.

The head Baptist pastor went to Gori today, and he said most of the Russian soldiers were lying around drunk or hungover. After all the looting and rioting, they apparently celebrated with lots of drinking. I know they too need to know God.

Many young girls and sometimes even the elderly from the villages were raped. These poor people have experienced so much trauma. Please pray that they will come to know Yahweh Rafah – our Healer. Many of them are angry with God and don’t understand why He would allow this tragedy to happen.

Now the Russians have said they will be out by Friday. But this is the third date they have given for withdrawal, and no progress made yet. However, there are no new reports of looting and burning.

I so appreciate your prayers! I want so much to be a blessing to these people, to help them see God’s character, His love for them. Thank you for partnering with me in this ministry!

Love,

Carolyn

Then there’s this email I received from Sean Reeves. His wife is originally from Georgia.

Then there is this email I got from Sean Reeves, his wife is from Georgia and her relatives are still there.

Hello Bob, Here are some pics that my wife’s Aunt has sent to us. Please know that the Russians have set fire to most of the forests to burn the wood needed for rebuilding. We are still grateful and Blessed that our family and friends there are still alive and accounted for. The situation for anyone outside Tbilisi is dire, people are homeless and starving. The Russian’s have looted nearly everything they could, and are actually setting up more permanent military equipment within Georgia’s borders while lying to the world that they are moving out. This situation is far from over, and I thank you for all the attention you are giving this situation. As Americans, we must know that the world is becoming much more dangerous place for our way of life, not safer as Democrats would like everyone to believe. Keep up the good work, more photos (terribly graphic) are forthcoming, but my in-laws are so busy helping other’s that time to download and send things to us is not a priority, and I am glad for that. My very best regards to you and your listeners, Sean Reeves and Mariam Demurishvili-ReevesThe pictures are below. Caution, they may be disturbing.

The least surprising thing to me this week has been the MSM and their concerted effort to discredit Dr. Jerome Corsi and his #1 NY Times best selling book “Obama Nation”.

After Dr. Corsi appeared with me last week on the show I knew it was only a matter of time before the MSM went after him for having the nerve, the temerity to attack the annointed “One”,  Barack H— (Don’t say it!) Obama.

The Harvard educated Dr. Corsi was already on the loony left radar having co-authored the swift boating book that helped sink John Kerry’s 04 campaign. They can’t stand to see the same thing happen again. Namely that a book which deals with facts about their candidates background, associates and belief system would actually be published.

The attacks on Corsi began earlier this week when he appeared on Larry King Barely Alive on CNN. Larry made him sit next to Paul Waldman of the left-wing group Media Matters, who questioned Corsi like he was a co-host and continuously badgered him as a liar. King asked Waldman softballs: “Paul, you denounced the book as unfit for publication. Meaning?” King set the tone at the top of the show: “Tonight, is Barack Obama being swiftboated? The man who wrote that book on John Kerry now makes some incredible and even false claims about the current Democratic candidate.” They must have not felt that Larry was up to the kind of 3rd degree they wanted so they brought in this other guy to do their dirty work. CNN must’ve also been thinking about their liberal base and were being cautious not to offend them with Corsi’s apperance.

Now check out this non-partisan news story, the AP version of Obama’s camp reacting to Corsi’s book with this assesment…

“The book is a compilation of all the innuendo and false rumors against Obama.” Keep in mind, that’s not a quote from some of Obama’s people…it’s in the body of the news story by the AP reporter. What kind of false rumors did this reporter have in mind? The fact that Obama attended an American hating and race baiting church for 20 years?

Reporter Nedra Pickler then added…”Corsi writes for World Net Daily, a conservative Web site whose lead headline Thursday was ‘Astonishing photo claims: Dead Bigfoot stored on ice.’” I guess she overlooked the fact that the same story was carried on AP’s own newswire, as well as FOX and CNN, etc, etc. By the way she filed the story from Hawaii where she was busy covering Obama playing golf and body surfing.

Oh well, suspicions confirmed. The MSM is committed to an Obama victory in November and won’t stand for any criticism of their guy. Too bad for them that enough people want to know who Obama really is, where he comes from, what his belief system is, that they bought Dr. Corsi’s book in such numbers it debuted at #1 on the NY Times own best seller list. The ultimate insult! We told you this guy was lying about Obama and you bought his book anyway, how dare you!!!

Well, at least the MSM can congratulate themselves with their investigative reporting that brought out the truth on the John Edwards story. Oh, wait, sorry, that was the National Enquirer wasn’t it?

Hi,

Wow, some pretty great guests this week. Tuesday Congressman Gresham Barrett describing the scene on the floor of the U.S. House as the GOP stayed behind after Speaker Nancy Pelosi adjourned it for vacation without doing squat about gas prices. Then Dr. Jerome Corsi from World Net daily joined me to talk about his new book “Obama Nation”. Fascinating revelations about Obama’s connections to African politics. Dr. Corsi’s book is already a best seller on the NY Times Non-Fiction list and at Amazon.com.

Yesterday, the author of the other hot new book about Sen. Obama, David Freddoso the reporter for National Review told us about Obama’s start in Chicago politics and revealed how he had all his opponents thrown off the ballot and disqualifiied in his first statewide race. This book “The Case Against Barack Obama” is also headed for the best seller lists.

Today, Thursday, Phyllis Schlafly is on at 4 pm to give us details on her plans for the GOP convention. Mrs. Schlafly, the head of the Republican Coalition for Life will host the “Life of the Party Party”. The pro-life event is sure to attract attention to the effort to ensure delegates to the convention are aware of the influence of this group.

I have to apologize for the podcasts not being available this week for these shows. The device that records all the shows broke and had to be replaced, so we lost those shows. It should be fixed by today so Mrs. Schlafly’s interview will be available on the podcast section elsewhere on our website. Just click on the podcast icon to find it.

Thanks for listening, see you this afternoon!

Hi, hope you’re having a good week.

Here’s the update on the apperance on the show of Phyllis Schlafly. This is now scheduled for 4pm on Thursday. Hope you can be there.

Bobby Mc

Hi,

Hope you are weathering the heatwave okay. Must be “Global Warming”, huh? Right.

Some great guests coming up on the program this week. Today at 3pm 3rd District Congressman Gresham Barrett is on the phone to talk about the GOP’s attempt to force a vote in Congress on oil drilling. Then at 5pm, Dr. Jerome Corsi from World Net Daily is on to talk about his new book “The Obama Nation, Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality”. We’ll also get the latest from Dr. Corsi on the Gov’t. program allowing Mexican trucks on US highways.

Then later this week, Wednesday at 3pm Myrna Sokoff who is a writer and co Producer of the new movie “An American Carol” talks about the comedy directed by David Zucker (Airplane, Naked Gun, etc). They have made a film that attacks the liberal left with humor. With so many anti-war and anti-American films recently its refreshing to see that Hollywood actually has a conservative voice also. Then at 5pm David Freddoso a reporter for the National Review is on to talk about his new book “The Case Against Barack Obama”. Very thouroughly researched look into Obama’s connections to Chicago machine politics and the beginnings of Obama’s career in politics.

I’m also working on having Phyllis Schlafly on the show later this week to talk about a project she’s working on for the GOP Convention in Minnesota.

Yesterday in the last hour of the show I read a letter to the editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. I got a number of emails asking me to reprint it here. Happy to, so here you go..see you on the radio!

Best,

Bobby Mc

Beware Charismatic Men Who Preach ‘Change’

Editor, Times-Dispatch:

Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day and on July 4 I celebrate America’s. This year is special, because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.

On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.

I’ve thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said “Praise the Lord.” And when the young leader said, “I will be for change and I’ll bring you change,” everyone yelled, “Viva Fidel!”

But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner’s guns went silent the people’s guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans. And now I’m back to the beginning of my story.

Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?

Would we?

Is Barak Obama THE ONE?

Check out the new TV Ad by John McCain

With less than 100 days remaining until the November election, we are inundated with the MSM’s non-stop political coverage, especially Obamamania.

So today let’s take a break and check some of the other stories from the wire that don’t have quite the implications of the heavy duty political stuff.

First, make sure if you are expecting male strippers at your party, that they don’t come dressed as cops…

Female Guests at German Birthday Party Mistake Cops For Strippers.

BERLIN —  Police say two officers who responded to complaints about a raucous weekend party in western Germany were mistaken for male strippers by the female guests.

Simmern police spokesman Bernd Hoffmann says neighbors called police around 12.45 a.m. Sunday to complain about noise from a birthday party in their building.

A round of applause from the apartment resident — who had just turned 30 — and her friends greeted two officers who went to investigate.

Hoffmann said Monday that “they thought the policemen were dressed like that because they were strippers. It took them a while to realize they were real police officers.”

Hoffmann says the women had not ordered strippers but thought someone had sent them as a birthday surprise.

The incident resulted in no arrests.

Yeah, but it did result in plenty of red faces.

Drunken Passengers Go on Rampage, Force Plane’s Emergency Landing

And you thought that crying baby on your flight was bad… 

Two drunken British women went on a rampage on a charter plane, hitting one flight attendant with a bottle of vodka and trying to open a cabin door as the aircraft was cruising over Austria at 10,000 meters, police said Saturday.

The staff on the flight from Greece to England eventually forced the women back to their seats and the pilot made an emergency landing in Frankfurt on Thursday, police told The Associated Press, confirming a statement they had issued on Friday.

The identities of the women, aged 26 and 27, were not released, but police said the 26-year-old may be charged with attempted assault and interfering with air traffic.

Both women were released, police said.

The rampage occurred when a flight attendant denied the women alcohol because they were visibly intoxicated, police said. The 26-year-old took a swipe at a cabin attendant with a bottle of vodka, then attempted to open a cabin door.

“Apparently the 26-year-old wanted to catch some fresh air,” the statement said, in

an effort to make light of the altercation.

The two women were taken into custody by police at the Frankfurt airport and given a breathalyzer test. Both were legally intoxicated.

After an hour in Frankfurt, the flight continued on to Manchester, England.

Least surprising part of the story “Both were legally intoxicated”..no kidding!

And just so we don’t seem to appear we are picking on Europeans…

Florida Woman Attacked by Fox, Then Shot By Husband

MORRISTON, Fla. —  Authorities say a Levy County, Fla., man accidentally shot his wife while trying to hit a fox that attacked her.

The couple told deputies they spotted an animal in their yard Friday morning and went outside to see what it was.

The fox bit the woman on the left leg and wouldn’t let go, so she told her husband to get a gun.

The man fired a .22-caliber rifle seven times, killing the animal but also hitting his wife in the lower right leg.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The dead fox will be tested for rabies, but authorities say the results won’t be available until next week.

So it’s not enough that she was bitten by the fox and shot by her husband, she may still have rabies shots to look forward to. See it could always be worse!

It’s Friday! That means it’s an open line all skate on the show today. In keeping with that theme, here’s a sampling from the Bobby Mc mailbag.

First, some cartoons you won’t see in the NY Times…

Then there’s this…

Southern Ten Commandments
Some folks have trouble with all those ’shalls’
and ’shall nots’ in the Ten Commandments. 
They just ain’t used to talkin’ in those terms.  

Have a Nice Week-End!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to shut up Talk Radio.

She has promised to help restore the so called “Fairness Doctrine”.

This would virtually ensure the silencing of Talk Radio by requiring an equal amount of time be given on controversial issues.

Here’s what the Media research Center says about this issue…

ALEXANDRIA, VA – In today’s Human Events, writer John Gizzi reported that Speaker Pelosi and the entire Democratic Caucus is actively seeking a return of the Fairness Doctrine. When asked whether she would allow Congressman Mike Pence’s Broadcaster Freedom Act (BFA), which would kill the Fairness Doctrine, onto the floor for a vote, the Speaker without hesitation said, “No.” She elaborated, “The interest of my Caucus is the reverse,” and said New York Democratic Representative “Louis Slaughter has been active behind this [revival of the Fairness Doctrine] for awhile now.”

From 1949 to 1987, the Fairness Doctrine silenced radio airwaves through government censorship.  Since its repeal, conservative talk radio has flourished, while liberal attempts to compete in the marketplace have repeatedly failed.  

The Media Research Center, long a defender of the freedom of speech, has drafted a petition to tell Members of Congress to allow a full up or down vote for Congressman Pence’s Broadcaster Freedom Act by July 4^th, deemed Radio Independence Day. To sign the petition, visit www.MRCAction.org.

Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, today issued the following statement:

“Liberals who have been publicly denying an interest in the Fairness Doctrine have now been exposed as liars.  We knew that liberals wanted to return to government censorship of political free speech.  The Fairness Doctrine is an abomination of free speech and the Constitution, neither of which apparently bothers the Speaker or the Democratic Caucus.

“Now more than ever there must be a vote and let every member of Congress go on the record either for or against censorship of free speech.  It is unimaginable that political leaders in this country would favor a policy that not only undermines free speech, but democracy itself. 

“Now more than ever it’s time to sign the discharge petition for broadcaster freedom by July 4^th.”  

It’s amusingly ironic that the liberal Democrats who constantly preach openness and diversity only approve of it when the opinion agrees with their own. I guess they just can’t bring themselves to approve of constitutionally guaranteed free speech.

I would encurage you to log on to the above address and sign the petition to tell Congress their attempt to silence Talk Radio is unacceptable.

That’s the slogan for the push to get the heads in the sand members of Congress to get off their lobbyist softened butts and actually do something about the high cost of gasoline.

With a TRILLION gallons of oil just waiting to be drilled out of the U.S., it’s beyond absurd to send billions of dollars to Middle East despots who hate us when we could have energy independence on our own.

Here’s the web address to sign the petition.
