Today’s show features on of the most fearless bloggers in blogging today Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs who will likely have a few things to say about Jihad. We will also feature Bob Belvedere of Camp of the Saints LIVE in the studio. We will once again be at 5 p.m. due to UMASS Basketball which will directly follow our show.

If you are somehow outside of the range of our 50,000 WATT signal at WCRN you can listen on our live stream from the web site. Feel free to call in at 508-438-0965 or e-mail us at datechguyondaradio@gmail.com

We will be giving away another copy of the Rosemary Reynolds Christmas CD this week and another family game from LAN games in Leominster as well…if you can answer the blog and news trivia question that is.

Oh and two FYI’s

This will incidentally be the last week at 5 p.m. Starting next week we will return to our normal 9-10 time slot but of course you should be streaming all night at WCRN starting with the RAVE 4-6 with Gary Rosen and Gary Vecchio, Konnie Lukas at 6 p.m. Conservatively Speaking with Mike Wade, John Weston (and yours truly as 4th banana) 7-9 and of course the fun and always wild Sam Rosiario directly after me taking you to midnight. A full evening of live talk!

This week the RAVE runs 4-5 (also due to Basketball) and will feature live in the studio Greg Fettig president of the Hoosier Patriots so tea party fans nationwide, make sure you start streaming at 4 p.m. at WCRN!

My latest for the Examiner talks a bit about local Massachusetts republicans re-arming:

the Gavel is passed to a new chairman

Although the working class group assembled last evening makes a mockery of that meme, the problem as Connaughton pointed out was proving that to the public. Her solution, more local involvement. She like the Twin City Tea Party Forum a week ago stressed Republicans need to get involved in politics on the local level bringing “the message of fiscal responsibility” that working class people both understand and support. It was by this method that “a farm team can be created” from which candidates known and trusted by the people could be drawn to win statewide.

The Fitchburg Republican Committee is one year old


Between this and my previous article on the Tea party forum the general consensus is that we have to start at the bottom in this state to change things.

It won’t be quick and it won’t be easy, but it won’t be boring.

When Dem reps are opening talking against Pelosi.

As I keep saying

“Ride right through them, they’re demoralized as hell”

As I’ve already said the idea of extending the Bush Tax cuts rates on a temporary basis is a trap. By doing it in a temporary way the democrats are given a stark choice on raising taxes again in two years.

There is only one thing they could do that would be worse politically; and by golly they’ve managed to do it!

Defying President Obama, House Democrats voted Thursday not to bring up the tax package that he negotiated with Republicans in its current form.

“This message today is very simple: That in the form that it was negotiated, it is not acceptable to the House Democratic caucus. It’s as simple as that,” said Democratic Congressman Chris Van Hollen.

Well done democrats, now after Jan 3 when the republicans pass the tax rates without your help, they will get sole credit and if it can’t get passed due to senate intransigence or a filibuster by democrats then we have the president ON THE RECORD saying bluntly that a double dip recession is their fault:

President Obama warned his fellow Democrats on Wednesday that they risk plunging the country into a double-dip recession if they reject his tax-cut deal with Republicans.

Absolutely amazing! Totally tone-deaf! If you think 2010 was bad for the left watch what happens now. 2012 is going to be the sinking of the Titanic!

Update: Stacy has more, what fools!

Looking at the list of more than 50 House Democrats who signed the Welch letter, I see several names — including Paul Kanjorski, Jim Oberstar and Alan Grayson — of Democrats who got beat in the mid-term election.

Their careers are over and so they’ve got a political free-pass for these lame ducks to take a stand on “principle,” possibly resulting in a no-deal meltdown that results in Americans paying higher taxes next year. And maybe, as Larry Summer warns, pushing the economy into a double-dip recession.

Hey lets follow the losers off the cliff, unbelievable!

Gateway Pundit is amazed too:

Yesterday the Obama Administration warned Wednesday that if Congress rejected a compromise tax deal they risk plunging the US economy back into recession.Today the Pelosi democrats rejected the deal. They don’t trust his economic judgment, either.

This is like watching a horror movie you’ve seen before, you know the killer is behind the door and you’re shouting at the set. Don’t open it!
