  • 22 November 1963 A Day in American History
    Wikipedia teaches us that the word "history" comes from the Greek , meaning knowledge acquired by investigation. From such investigation comes not just knowledge but also discovery of information, which is then organized to be presented as an account of events in the past.  "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" is book about history authored by attorney Vincent Bugliosi, who analyzsd events before and surrounding the assassination of former United States president John F. Kennedy. Bugliosi focuses attention on the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. In glorious Bugliosi style, he references events from many sources. In this program, we take a brief look at his story of the JFK assassination, but not from a conspiratorial perspective. Instead, we study facts that were omitted from Bugliosi's  book. For example, consider that Melvin Belli was fired and that Houston's wealthy criminal-law attorney Percy Foreman was hired to replace Belli. Percy soon quit after getting annoyed with family kibitzers. Ruby's siblings then replaced Foreman by hiring Professor Hubert  Winston Smith, 56, head of the University of Texas Law-Science Institute. Smith said he would charge no fee. His first pronouncement was that he would ask the court to permit a new series of medical and mental tests on Jack Ruby.

  • Elizabeth Warren Superwoman or Politician
    Elizabeth Warren is not Superwoman.
    She is a well-skilled American politican.
    In the great tradition of Harry S Truman,Lyndon Johnson and Barack Obama.
    Over its first weeks, Warren’s campaign raised an impressive $3.15 million, about 70 percent of which came from out of state and 96 percent from donors giving $100 or less. That last metric is crucial, because a consumer advocate who recently said, “The people on Wall Street broke this country,” is not likely to enjoy big-ticket backing from the financial sector. By late October, three of her biggest primary challengers had dropped out. "Heaven Is a Place Called Elizabeth Warren" By REBECCA TRAISTER
    Lawrence Lessig the man who clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia at the Supreme Court, and Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court offers his views on campaign reform in his new book " Republic Lost,How Money Corrupts Congress - and How to Stop It"

  • The Conscience of a Conservative
    The Conscience of a Conservative was ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Jr They had co-authored the controversial book, McCarthy and His Enemies, in 1955. Bozell had been Goldwater's speechwriter in the 1950s, and was familiar with many of his ideals. The book covers such topics as education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. The book is considered to be a significant statement of politically and economically
    John Dean in “Conservatives without Conscience,” he observes that under the Bush-Cheney administration, there has been a “striking shift toward a very un-American type of authoritarianism,” in all branches of the federal government.
    Their followers are blindly submissive to authority, which can lead them to do harm to others if they believe such behavior is sanctioned. In addition, the followers also “accept the traditional norms of society and tend to be fundamentalist in religion and reject moral relativism.” Al Olsen
    The Conservative has No conscience.

  • The Conscience of a Liberal
    Jerry Pippin the Oklahoma political commentator host this series of programs on Liberalism in American politics.
    The Oxford  dictionary defines Conscience as  the fact of behaving in a way that you feel is right even though this may cause problems freedom of conscience,the state of being aware of the problems that affect a lot of people in society, such as being poor or having no home, and wanting to do something to help these people
    A recent survey showed that middle-income neighborhoods have been disappearing (down 34% in three decades). We are talking about
    neighborhoods in cities and suburbs with working-class homes and incomes less than about $100,000. There are not many such homes remaining. The people have either moved to urban slums, or a few have been lucky enough to escape to walled communities. But the point is simply that economic chains have been tightened around average Americans, thus slowly but surely pushing them in a downward spiral rather than in an upwardly mobile direction. Meanwhile executives of corporations are given government approval, such as Freddy Mac's, as when sitting in front of congress saying they may have made millions in their jobs and deserve it. Astoundingly many of these executives could not remember precisely how much they made, when they made it, and so on.  Even congressmen--who, by the way, are more
    wealthy than ever--were rather disbelieving. One said, "I think I would  remember the year I became a millionaire." So what do we conclude from this? Is it that in order to become a highly-paid executive in the financial business you have to be stupid? Or is it that you have to be willing to avoid, obfuscate, and dodge any accountability to the public?Jerry Pippin
