right-wing blogs we like
The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
Wow...Looks like Joanie has learned the "feel good" sound bytes of liberalism. She's the type that thought the professors in her Cultural Anthropology class were reeling off "facts."
I used to spew these out when I was in my early 20s. It all sounds good...but has never worked, isn't working now, and won't work in the future just because we (the United States) try it next. Those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. Looks like Joanie would love to repeat a history she doesn't know. If she wants to, she's free to move. Don't force me to try Socialism. It's a proven failure.
Fortunately, a degree in Economics followed by a decade in the "real world" have set me strait.
Whether you like him or hate him, you have to consider the reality that Reagan suffered from altzheimers disease late in life. His "I don't recall" could have indeed been just that - perhaps he truly could no longer remember. Either way, his administration should never have traded arms for hostages.
joanie sez, "You, on the other hand, seem to have nothing at your disposal but stupid remarks and hateful accusations. People might actually stop reading you one of these days if your don't bring something to the discussion worth reading."
Gosh, you mean I sound like Chris?
KIROFM 97.3 Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
KUOW FM 94.9 Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
KVI am 570 KHz Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits.
Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
KTTH am 770 KHz Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
KPTK am 1090 KHz Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
KLFE AM 1590 kHz Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).
KOMOAM News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
Reagan also said his famous "I don't recall" dozens of times during Iran-Contra....

I can't resist one more...Joanie..someone that disagrees with you isn't hateful. They disagree.
