Remember all those people (and Republican legislators!) who said the Coordinated Care Organizations weren’t socialized medicine and it wasn’t Obamacare…? Well, while most people were and are rightfully watching gun control bills, along comes HB2922 — which sure looks like it’s bringing socialized medicine to Oregon. Yep. Here it is, …
The sequester continues to be a golden opportunity for conservatives to talk about principles of smaller government. Aside from that, budgets are very revealing. And cutting the budget isn’t bad because it forces you to reexamine your spending–in other words, prioritize. That being the case, budgets can also reveal where …
How much of the federal budget is paid for by income taxes? 50%…? 60%…? Maybe 70%…? The answer might surprise you. And that’s why the sequester is a golden opportunity for conservatives. Take a listen: I Spy Minute for March 5, 2013. Or read the transcript below… Follow Mark …
You hear a lot about gun control laws lately but it’s really about people control. But these bills that are introduced or, like in New York, passed into law, all depend on people actually enforcing these unconstitutional laws. In the case of gun control laws, especially search and seizure, it …
It’s rare I disagree with Rush Limbaugh but I can’t disagree with him more on Mitch McConnell’s “plan” to stick Obama with the sequester. No transcript, you’ll have to listen – I Spy Minute for Feb 27 2013 Follow Mark Anderson on Twitter @iSpyRadioShow
Winston Churchill once famously said, “We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” Needless to say, we’re a tad skeptical about Obama’s economic plan that calls for more …
There are a number of things about Obama that bug me. Foremost that he’s president–but that’s not really his fault, is it? But what perhaps bugs me the most is his ongoing War on History–constantly distorting and twisting and misinterpreting it. And usually to distort the importance of government. Take …
If unions are good for industry, then being treated like a union should be good for union workers, right? I can’t help but wonder, though, if they’d buy their own economics… Take a listen! I Spy Minute for Wed Dec 12 2012. Or read the transcript, below. Follow Mark on …
With the protests breaking out in Michigan over right to work legislation, I thought a little history was in order, because right to work is about protecting workers. And somehow I bet “We have the right to take your money” isn’t on any of the pro-union protest signs… Take a …
Announcing a live, on-air brainstorming and strategy session — this Thursday (Dec. 6th), noon to 3 pm, hosted by Mark Anderson of the I Spy Radio Show. We want to know: where does the Republican Party go from here? It’s time to ask the hard questions! Take a listen: I …
Pardon me while I giggle, but after a mere three months in operation, the first cracks in the governor’s vaunted CCOs are showing. You know, CCOs–coordinated care organizations, which, according to HB3650, are designed to bring universal health care to Oregonians. (See Section 1, Paragraph 1, HB 3650.) Yes indeed, …
Conservatives seem to be on the defensive, especially here in Oregon. And yet we have a thread of hope–real power given to us–even in the heart of Oregon. Take a listen to today’s I Spy Minute for Friday Nov 16 2012. And then be sure to tune in tomorrow 11 …
We rightly celebrate veterans for their service to our country and for their sacrifices to defend our freedoms. But there are plenty of civilians who have also been impacted by wars. One of the strangest accounts is what happened to Wilmer McLean in the Civil War. Take a listen: I …
I’m a day late posting this but in case you’re still depressed over the election, here’s yesterday’s I Spy Minute. Don’t give up hope, have some trust that we are exactly where we’re meant to be. Take a listen: I Spy Minute for Wed Nov 7 2012 Or read the …
Today is Election Day! A day to exercise out patriotic and civil duty, a day to remember the past while we decide the future. It’s also a day to have some faith. But doesn’t mean staying at home and “having faith” things will all work out. Faith is putting action …
Quick quiz: How many people were on the ballot in 2008? Two? Three? More than 10? While like a lot of people (the intelligent ones anyway), I hope Romney wins in a landslide. And he likely will — if everyone who should vote for him does vote for him. Take …
It’s always fun to interview a nationally known guest. It’s even better when they bring just a touch of controversy — and a whole lot of insider insight. This week on the I Spy Radio Show: Dr. Jerome Corsi. Can’t quite place him? Two words: “Birth certificate.” Take a listen: …
A few months back, I mentioned how Obama uses Ninja flash bombs of stupidity. I call it that because the ninja used flash bombs at night to temporarily stun their opponents. Obama uses this same technique. No transcript today, you’ll have to listen: I Spy Minute for Thurs. Oct 18 …
The big news this morning isn’t just Obama lying, but the “moderator” as well. Don’t blame Candy. She’s merely doing what she’s been trained to do. It used to be that reporters reported the news, now they’re told in journalism school to interpret the news for their hapless audience. Thus, …
Let’s all hope Obama never becomes a bookie. Or, if he does, that he’s a bookie just for the likes of George Soros, MoveOn.org, and the Tides Foundation. Here it, is, the morning of the second debate and another Obama loser surfaces. Take a listen: I Spy Minute Tues., October …
