My favorite talk show host is Rick Biesada… WJJG 1530 AM Chicago’s Hometown station, Perspectives On Our Heritage; where we report actual news, not the government sponsored propaganda like the media stooges; Savage, Rush,Beck, Hannity, Ingram, or Medved.
Christian values are the foundational precepts of this country. We should not be tolerant of false doctrine.

We have many talk shows in North America.
Michael Savage is the only individual that
tells it like it is!

I like Glen Beck. He Tells it like it is. I agree with him about 97% of the time. Michael Savage is pretty good also, he is my second choice.

I listen & watch Glen Beck…he is my favorite…he has humor…and I wish he had a longer show on Tv. We get to see so much junk about gloom all the time…and the global warming ha…the earth is hot sometimes…summer…and cold others…winter…the planet shifts around in the crazy orbit it does around the sun…It is impossible that it does a perfect spin every time…when we have volcano and earthquakes the earth moves or hic ups…I am sure of it…not enough to change much…just a little 1/2 skip or baby step…scientists…can be wrong but these folks are just guessing…we should not do things that make our planet messier…but to stop everything and count the carbons …. what is it about??? to stop man from having children??? stop growing plants…stop using gas or oil…how would we heat our homes? not everyone has big bucks…to use batteries to drive the cars…etc. Thanks for letting me vent…God Bless Our American troops and all Real American’s who live here and obey our rules…

Michael Savage is my favorite…He says what everybody else is thinking but afraid to say…He has passion and doesn’t give a crap about political correctness!!! If only there were more like him….

I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Hannity at work (which is much better listening to those guy’s, rather than listening to my grouchy old bosses), but really like Savage the best. Glenn beck is also good too. I also listen to O’Reilly at times. But in all… I mostly listen to and like Savage the most!.

the only talk show i listen to consistently is rush limbaugh. sometimes i hear the tail end of glenn beck while waiting for rush. glenn is a good story teller but is just down right silly at times. i don’t like hannity at all. i like michael savage but i can’t find him in this area. and laura ingraham is not only smart but good looking. i’d like to see ann coulter get a radio program, she would smoke them all except rush. thanks

Savage rules. He goes the furthest and does it the best. He promotes Judeo-Christian values more than anyone else and with a passion. Rush and beck are good but not at the same level as Dr. Savage. Savage Nation rules.

I like Glen Beck cause you can learn a lot about end times that is coming as is mentioned in the Bible which is
Gods word to us.And I also believe the way the U.S.A. is going now God will have us over thrown.If we become a Homosexual Country thgis country is Doomed.Read the Old Testament and see how many country’s were wiped out becausae they forgot God. God loves everyone
but hates Homosexuality.

Savage is great to listen to for comic relief. You can find out about his dog, what he had for dinner, and how he feels about the Republican turn coats. He’s like listening to an old Jewish woman complaining about everything.
Dr. Laura is the biggest hypocrite and I can only stand her for about 2 minutes at a time. The way she browbeats the poor callers is not a very good example of family values.

I love Glenn Beck , Rush, “The Savage”, .Living in Canada , I appreciate any Show that is seriously Conservative ,as we have gone down the road to socialism in Canada, and a minority conservative Gov’t has it’s hands tied to try to change things. I am praying for a majority conservative Gov’t in Canada so that we can reverse some of the damage socialism has done to our country

I always have an opinion, which is not always good. But I think Once you enter politics, you becum a differnt prson. Nothing elsing matters, but winning. No real thoughts no process, just retilation. Which is sad
Things are not working, they’re bit saying what they mean, its about winning, not aboout what we care about

But I reaaly loved the Kennedys and what they stood for, I don’t care about their personal stuff. Their business, I care about their beliefs.

If I had a radio station with the listeners like Rush, Savage and Beck, I would be educating the public on the tyranny of democracy over this Republic, our Constitution, Preamble and Declaration of Independence and what they mean to us and how to live according to these documents. Also about the fraud and deceit of the Social Security Act, IRS and how these things are voluntary not mandatory, also about how Federal reserve notes are not legal money and are worthless when not backed by silver and gold, primarily silver. And that there are 8 people who own the federal reserve bank (located in England of all places) and only three are American to include the traitor Rockefeller family .Also, how there is no law that requires registration of self or property with government. Also, that there are 2 classes of citizen recognized by the Supreme Court as well as 2 systems of law and two systems of government, one which governs each. The 14th amendment creates the second class of’citizen’ more like a subject of Congress than a citizen subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Also that the Constitution and Common Law are the supreme law of this land and how the Federal government is using Martial law rule to govern their 2nd class subjects(anyone with a social security number entitled to government benefits) this is evidenced by the gold fringe border around our flag hanging in the courtrooms around our nation which title 4 USC defines as indicating a martial law jurisdiction. These are just a small few of the things they should be talking about and educating us on but are probably too scared to lose their government issued license to conduct their business’, Communist Manifesto by Carl Marx 1848 plank # 6 of ten. Our schools are forbidden by our government to teach these very important topics to our children in order to keep their control over our people which is according to plank # 10 of the communist Manifesto! Democracy applies itself to 100% of all ten planks of the Communist Manifesto If you want to know of the problem with our country today, just take a long look in the mirror. We the People are supposed to be the keeper of the law. How are we supposed to do that when no one even knows the law out here? Most people can’t recite ten words from the Constitution, Preamble or Declaration but go vote anyway!!!!!!!!! We could have elected Ron Paul this time but, again the feds used the 6th plank of the Communist Manifesto to keep his campaign quiet long enough to have their way with the primaries, thanks people of talk radio and television for not reporting the real issues and their importance to our nation and it’s children but, at least you still get to keep your licenses, at least until your master the Government takes it away from you!Hey, we’re American’s, free to do what ever we want, as long as the State gives us permission, right? What a joke our great nation has become to the rest of the world who watches us go down with the rest of them.

i have called the representives for missouri and the governor matt blunt
and ask them 2 questions the first one is what os the chance for social security citizens getting a cost of living raise the othe question why our govenment has not cut the speed limit back to 55 mph. right now if you drive the speed limit they are a lot of people who will blow your doors off the will not slow down unless the states and the government makes them slow down. would save 5 miles to the gallon on milage per gallon and how many cars out there speeding would save a lot of oil. we did it before and we can do it again.
put pressure on the states and fedral government to slow down to save oil. my car said 31 to 33 miles per gallon but buy driving 50 to 55 miles per hour i get 38 to 40 miles a gallon. try in on you vehicles and see. i would like to see our jobs come back to america but they won’t unless they put a high import taxes on the business that it will be cheaper to make and sell here. and the government will not do it. if we get hungry enough we will slow down.
around where i live in missouri they are people steeling cattle to bucher and selling the meat at cheaper prices. steeling gas to and as the times get harder the worst it will get for everyone. start robbing and killing to get money for food and drugs. i live in the country but my guns are always in reach i hope it don’t have to use them. we must get on the ball and call you state senators, representives, and you governors and tell them what you want. for missouri governor matt blunt is 573- 751-332 senator christopher bond is 202-224-5721 fax is 202-224-7491 claire mccaskill is 202-224-6154 fax 202- 228-6326
u.s.a. represtatives for missouri is
ike skelton 202- 225- 2876 and roy blunt 202- 225- 6536 call and tell them if you would like lower speed limits to get better gas milage untill the gas price goes down. and seniors call and ask about cost of living raise. food going up medican going up but we are not getting a cost of living raise. i wished i could get in i would cut the gas and diesel back at the pumps to $2.00 a gallon obama and mccain won’t do it. and they won’t bring our jobs back here to this country either. and close our boarders with all the countries untill we get the people here at work fist. we the government needs to go back to we the people.

i guess my dail up computer is to slow to keep your talk show in sorry.
got part of what you were talking about the stay home on day. well if they would start driving 55 mph we could save a lot of fuel and i know what rush hour traffic is and the ones who can stagger the working hours and break up their starting times would save a lot of gas to. i have slowed down to 50 or 55 and i get 40 miles to the gallon of gas i traded my 2004 haundi elantra off for the next size snaller it is 11 inches shorter and my elantra got 32 or 34 miles per gallon my new accent gets 40 miles per gallon the sticker said 31 to 33 miles per gallon and instead of extra warranty od 60,000
miles i paid the extra and have a 100,000 mile bumber to bumper on the car. ford, chevy, ond others have very low warranties on their cars and trucks i thought we made good cars but i guess we don’t. have a nice day to all

every time i go to town which is a 30 mile round trip i fill the car back up i would spend the same if i would wait untill it was empty but less than 1 gallon of gas don’t cost as much as one time a week or month cording how much you drive. we dont go to town every day church night or doctor visit or medican we try to make them with other trips. once a month it is 100 miles round trip but we buy food in wal-mart sams clubs and buy enough for one month, we can make changes if we will try. but we have to deside to do it. my pickup sets i start it up once and a while and rive it 2 miles about every other week. other wise it just sets. i am on social security and the government don’t care about the seniors any more the have got the greed they have sold the people down the drain, they liked us when we payed taxes but since we are retired the don’t know us, straight talk?????

i just wonder how bad this world will get before god has his fill of it and judges the world, that means every one who is in it.some people say that we are living on barrowed time, but i say we do not live unless we get into heaven, hell will not be living. what is going on in this world it is not a place to bragg about. in matter is is to be ashamed of. it has gotten were people
do not care for each other they have got out to look out for them selfs and don’t care about anyone else. but don’t let that worry you it cannot be changed, we have past the point of no return, the last days tells us that thing like is going on all at once then you will be able to tell, we don’t live hear out life starts in heaven, this is were we are tested the new heaven and earth will be sin free, but we all have sined and if we have sined then how can we get back to god in heaven. repent of out sins in jesus name the son of god who sent jesus down so that if we belived and have enough faith and get saved, get baptized in the water reborn in the spirit and live by trials and errors and repenting again in jesus name can we learn to get back to god. god loves us all, but god don’t always agree with what we do but he still loves us and if we don’t want to learn the right way to get back to god then we will meet satin in hell. i don’t like to preach like this but there are some people have to be reminded. who god is. god is 100 percent of pure love, jesus is 100 percent of gods pure light. our only way back to god. can i prove to any one out there that there is a god, and there is nobody who can not prove to me that there is no god, either way treating others bad or like god treating others good which is the best way to treat people with love or hate. we all have to choise. and i do belive with my all that there is a god of love. amen…….praise…….the…….lord. god 2 jesus 2 us home is us 2 jesus 2 god.

we all were born and this body that we are in will go back to dirt god calls money the rute off all evil and how true it is. gods son jesus is our only way back to god, you can’t buy god or jesus but our governments can and has been bought already and they will get paid for it very soon, god bless you and yours

i live in lamar missouri and we got the news paper from the electric coop. telling us that next year our elictric might be to high for a lot of people would not be able to aford it. tells us that this warming was not started over night but they want me and you to pay for it all at once.
i called the coe and ask her to write the letter for me to our government as i don’t like to use bad words telling them what i really thought about them and their ideas wanting to stop over night what it took years to create. will not be able to do it that quick if it is not to late to stop what is going on anyway, but they have a big skeem to get all of our money from us. they don’t care what happens the just want to fill their pockets with our money and say that they are trying. we could have had electric cars that would recharge their selfs as they are driven. they won’t with the altornators we are using now the would have to put out a lot more charging power. but the oil companies
don’t want us to go oil free. the generators could be made to keep the cars and pickups all could be running on the electric powered cars.i ran 4 batteries in my semi trucks pulling a 1500 watt inverter to run my microwave tv and other things so this could have been done years ago. well it is time we tell the government and the oil companies no more oil sell your excess somw where else. mccain gave me the idea in one of his speaches and it can be done with our cars and pickups air condisoning big size cares everything. a 2 cylinder eng. would more than operate the generator and the air. and the small engine would not run the car it would run the generator and the air condisoner and would not use very mush gas all you would need would be a 3 gallon gas tant to run not run the car electric should give plenty of speed. i see these small one they can be made a lot bigger. and just as comfortable as these big gas users. they would not have to cost as much as they are right now. the batteries run $7,000.00 every ten years if they last that long. if you keep it charged you would not need that big of a battery. we can’t clean up all of these other countries but we can clean ours up. with a lot less that the government wants. we can send rockets to mars ans we can’t build a electric recharable car that don’t have to be pluged in.

am very concerned about our country. It is being distroyed from within . It is time to forget about being far left or right. It is time to come together as american Citizens and fight for our country. I apeal to all CHRISTIANS to seek GOD before you cast your vote,regardless of your domination.
Being a person with book smarts and no common sense is dangerous. Obama can talk the talk but he can not walk the walk. He is a pathalogical liar. He will destroy our country and we should take the situation seriously.
Ask the people in Canada and France how they like socialized medicine. 40% of the people that get cancer are on a waiting list to see an oncologist and die before they see one. People in Canada come to the USA for surgery because they are to sick to wait for their name to come up on the waiting list.
On the issue of schools, money will never fix the problem. We have tried it for years and it does not work. Parents have to start getting envolved in their childrens lives. Families need to be real families once again. Study together, laugh together and cry together. Their are children all over this country that long for family unity. Children should not be left to raise themselves. Teachers salaries should be raised but they should also have first rate credentials to teach. get rid of the bad ones.
If a child carries a B average in high school and wants to go to college he or she should be able to.
It would be simple if each state that has a lottery was responsible for seeing that this happens.
When speaking about Obama raising taxes on businesses, practically all the people in the United States shop at WalMart. If taxes are raised prices are raised so companies can continue to pay their employees or the number of employees will go down.
Common sense tells us that when taxes are raised prices are raised and the consummer pays. Please wake up America!!!!!
If Obama is elected president,everyone will pay more taxes one way or the other. You will have socalized medicine. Your children will go to school where they
are told to go.Your entire life will be turned upside down.
On the subject of race. I do not think the average American looks at the canidates that way. Is is a democratic ploy/ Ihave many many friends that are dear ro me. We are all children of God. I hear people say I don’t know what I was put here for. It is very somply. God tells us to love one another as he loves us and to be their for each other when they need us. We need to get back to the time when we knew our neighbors. If our neighbor was sick and could not mow his lawn we pitched in and took care of it. We could borrow a cup of sugar .
God created a beautiful world for us. We are free people!!! We have freedom of religion,freedom of speech. Don’t waste the precious time you have complaining and always being negative. Look around and count your blessings. Go to the polls -fight for our freedom -seek God’s guidance. He always puts us where we need to be if we just listen.
In my heart-I cannot vote for a man like Oama who continually lies to us. Imagine having a First Lady that for the first time in her life she is proud to be an American because her husband is running for president!
Thank you for your time. Please America-pray for our country.
Have a blessed day. Your sister is Christ.

Well I have heard from many people, from Bill Orielly, the Savage show, and Glenn beck show that Obama wants a socialist government. Well to me he is the next Hitler if people dont wathc out. He (Obama) wants to shair the wealth, not tax 95% of the people. Who are those people? Women who live off wellfair? Rich people? Homeless people? Non Citizens of AMERICA??!! I am tired of the money that i work hard for going to those people!! I dont want someone telling me when i can or when i cant go see a doctor. I dont want someone to take our gun rights away from us. I want soemone who works there butt off to support their family and works for their money to be president not Obama or McCain. WHos going to show this coutry without having a socialist government or gettin rid of the “peasents that got us in this stage” like Hitler did with the Jews. I want this person whos going to be honest, trustfull, SMART. I want someone whos your average Jo bob. I dont want to live in a country where we have to relay on outher countries to help us get out of debt. All we’re doing is getting into more debt. What happend to FREEDOM OF SPEECh? What happend to IN GOD WE TRUST, OR MErry christmas in schools, or I pledege Alliegance? PEOPLE COME ON

Sometimes (usually), when talking about President Bush, Savage doesn’t think straight. For example, today (Wednesday) he gave many examples of how poorly our college graduates wrote and spoke the English language. Later in the program he told us how Bush spoke so simply, using only two-syllable words and phrases. The thought naturally crosses my mind that if he spoke otherwise, Americans in general would not understand him, and disconnect completely.
Hussein Obama discovered this same problem early on, when he found he wasn’t communicating in the spoken word, and was forced to revert to elementary language in a lot of instances. Remember? Lighten up on Bush! He’s a Texan!
Another point: Although usually very interesting, Savage’s Yiddish- overtone stories of his youth give away his tendencies to let callers with the same overtones occupy space on his airwaves. Even though these callers generally have nothing of value to add, time for them is allowed simply for the sake of nostalgic interlude. Correct?
Another thing: Some of us like Rush. Maybe Dr. Savage could somehow figure this out?
I listen to The Savage Nation every day, and I love it. Michael Savage should just be a little kinder and gentler to those people on our side. And never forget, President Bush inherited 9-11.
Strength and Honor!

Michael, To me, you are the best talk host on the radio. You tell it like it is much more so than Rush, Neal or any other host that I know. There is noto one exception I can take to what you have to say. In fact, I cry for my country and pray for her. We have gone so far astray that I believe there is little hope left for the USA to be what we thought it was.
I am in my lata 60’s and have been listening to you for 20 years. I have a very limited budget; otherwise, I would support your show heavily. Keep up the good work. Let America know how sinful and stupid the people are.
God bless your every effort
