"If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."

How many times have you heard that, huh?

Anytime some pompous self-righteous chickenhawk talks about national security and wanting to peer into our lives, that's the statement they LOVE to use.

"If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."

What a bunch of self-serving BS!

I believe that WE ALL have something that we would rather not be made public.  We ALL do!  Our lives are not the "open books" that we pretend they are.

So if we KNOW that we all lie, that we ALL have something that we would rather not be made public.. WHY then do we subscribe to THIS particular lie of "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear"?

That's is what I want you to open up about. Do you subscribe to the LIE? And if not, how would you deal with the person that tries to shovel that LIE?

Brutally Honest - LIVE! - 07/22/13 - Show Notes

So I'm sitting back over the weekend, wondering about Monday's show, and for once I was a little stumped.

It's not easy sometimes to come up with show subjects... things that make you think, and, more importantly for me since this IS a radio show, things that make you want to call-in and talk about it.

That's when my high school buddy and "adopted bro" Phil (a.k.a. MONSTER) chimed in and we started talking some subjects and he mentioned that his father was REALLY upset over President Obama's comments about Trayvon Martin and how Obama said it "could have been me... thirty-five years ago". That's when we started talking about racial profiling and how some people claim they don't "see it", and because THEY don't "see it", that must mean that it "doesn't exist".

Then my best friend put the whole subject on its ear with this question:

What if the problem isn't about RACE at all?  What if the problem really is CLASS?

Crazy? Out-of-bounds? On-the-mark? I WANT TO KNOW! And I want to know ON THE AIR!

"With Liberty And Justice For All..."

Or so the Pledge of Allegiance ends, as created by a certain Christian-Communist.  (Oh, you didn't know that?  Do some research.)

But is it REALLY the case today?

Corporations are declared people, banks are allowed to steal homes, lobbyists are allowed to literally craft legislation for politicians to simply rubber-stamp, the government can snoop into our lives at will, police can shoot your dog and arrest you for simply taking pictures of them from your own front yard... and now a young man walking to the store can get himself killed by some gun-toting thug with delusions of having a badge and he is allowed to get away with it thanks to Fox News.

"Liberty and Justice For All"... really? REALLY?

Maybe we need to strike this from the Pledge, because right now the only people with "Liberty and Justice" are the millionaires and billionaires that can buy the law and buy their way out of accountability.

What do you think? Let me know by tuning-in and calling-in!

WOW! The "Summer Break" is here and gone already! Well, at least it is for us here at the Brutally Honest Command Center.

So let's get caught up on what's been going on while we've been out, shall we?

And while we're at it, I have a couple of subject for us to hash over...

Let's start with the people that I refer to as an "OBLAMER". What is an "OBLAMER", you ask? Well it's someone that blames everything on Barack Obama, especially when it involves things that Obama didn't do.  Like when your insurance provider decides to screw you over and you decide to blame it on Obama rather than on the greed of the big corporate Insurance company. Or when if the price of gasoline goes up and you blame Obama for it, but refuse to credit Obama when the price goes down and claim that it fell "in spite of Obama". Or when you wake up in the morning and you stub your toe and you blame Obama for it instead of your own incompetence.

In fact, let's have some fun with this and take this into a Jeff Foxworthy monologue... "You might be an Oblamer if..."

If that doesn't work, then we have another subject we can talk about... B00BS!!!

No I'm not kidding.  Is there a war going on against "b00bs"? It certainly seems like it.

BUT let's not go there only if we don't have any "Oblamer" zingers to bring up.

Happy Fourth of July!

Today we celebrate...

Well, we CELEBRATE! 

We fire up the grill and we put on some burgers and hot dogs, we slice up some watermelon, we show up at that parade and we cheer the local boy scout troop and the veterans that served that we then honor, then we go find our usual place in the park and we watch the fireworks staged to some sermonized jingoistic music.

And we claim that we're doing this for A REASON.  We claim that we're doing this because over two hundred years ago a bunch of men got together and said they weren't going to follow the dictates of the dominant and overbearing international superpower, and that we have to remember that or else we'll lose this thing called FREEDOM.

But here's a funny little question... do you REALLY know what FREEDOM is?

Seriously, do you know?

Have you ever sat down and wondered WHAT the concept of FREEDOM means?

I tell you what: you won't hear it from the Fox News crowd!  You won't hear it from the trained parrots of talk radio!  You won't hear it from the conservative editorials that have decided to waste their time re-printing the Declaration of Independence and pretend to know what it was all about.

You want to know what FREEDOM REALLY MEANS?

I'll tell you.  Or better yet, I'll SHOW YOU!

This is an animated video taken from my "Brutally Honest on ShockNet Radio" show from a few years ago.  The show was an hour-long and broken into three segments, so you have each part as a separate video.

Watch the video series.  THINK about what it means, and then compare that to the BS you hear from Fox News and talk radio.  THEN go to your July 4th celebrations and see if other people actually GET what the concept is all about.


And if you like what you see, then be sure to tune in every Monday night at 8pm ET, 7pm CT, for "Brutally Honest - LIVE" on ShockNet Radio!
