Laura Ingraham led off her show today with a blistering indictment of the Gunwalker Scandal (and when I called in I couldn't get past the screener.)

Seriously. Told him who I was, my part in the opening of the scandal and how I wanted to thank Ingraham. All the schmuck had to say was 'Thanks for calling" and hung up. Sheesh. Tough screener.

Anonymous said...: I once met a guy in a a small-time record shop who tried to convince me he was Vito Bratta, guitar player for "White Lion" (this was back in the 80's). Yeah, the band was scheduled to play that night in our town, but he had no entourage, fans following him, nothing. He did look similar to the promotional images, but I thought he was merely a really good look-alike trying to draw attention to himself. Attending the concert later that night I saw him again on stage and he was still wearing the same outfit he wore in the store!! Oops, my bad.

The point is, it's sometimes hard for people to believe you really are who you say you are, especially on the phone. It's just too good to be true almost. Don't take it personal.; March 22, 2011 at 4:45 PM
WarriorClass III said...: The screener sounds like the typical dipshit in today's business world. Probably thought you might upstage Laura Ingraham, rather than the rational thought that you would be a valuable asset to the discussion. I've seen this type of idiot all too often in the corporate America these days. Their main thought it how far they can get their tongue up their bosses @ss rather than how to do their job better.

Oh well, Laura's loss.

It's found its wings and is fledging.

You found it, raised it and hand fed it 24 hours a day and now it's growing up and flying on its own.; March 22, 2011 at 6:37 PM

Anonymous said...: How would a screener be able to vet your authenticity? Better safe than sorry. I bet a lot of kooks call these talk shows.

Then again, the screener could have taken your information and sought some confirmation - even if it was for a later discussion.; March 22, 2011 at 7:47 PM

I say, go ahead and take it personally anyway. I always do.; March 22, 2011 at 10:45 PM
Dedicated_Dad said...: I figure she needs to know.

Here's my message sent to her via her website's "contact" page - I'd encourage others to do likewise:

"Way to go, genius call-screener!

As Laura was discussing "Project Gunwalker" today, one of the two men who is 100% responsible for bringing this story to light called in and was unceremoniously blown off.

Genius!

If you're at all interested in learning the whole-truth of this story - from one of the two men who literally "broke" the case - you should remedy this screw-up ASAP!

Mike Vanderboegh is a highly intelligent, well-spoken, no nonsense patriot, and you couldn't do better than to have him as a guest!

You can reach him at GeorgeMason1776ATaol DOT com or -- according to [a phone-lookup site] his phone number MAY be (###) ###-####

Also, it really sounds like your call-screener may be out of his league...

I hope this helps - and I hope you've got the decency to make this right!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
