I started re-reading "The 5,000 Year Leap" today. It's worth reminding myself of the principled men who founded this nation and its government. It is also good to have a measurement against which to judge the current facade called the Federal Government.

We're a long way from where we ought to be and we've been lead to this point by enemies of freedom and personal accountability. We've given up the principles of freedom for the security of a government handout but we fail to see the risks and the dangers.

I am a Tea Party Republican.

And I am a Sarah Palin Republican.

Because I am a Constitution Republican.

And I vote.

God Bless the United States of America and the Constitution... and all you patriots. God Bless you, Bob.

Well....I guess I am!

# 5. 7/14/10 12:44 AM by GB
Sarah Palin is a good decent honest women who loves America and the Constitution.

Can you say the same thing about Obama? Every word out of his big mouth is a lie. If you want a good laugh just go on YouTube and watch Andrew Klavan's "Talking Crap"

It is more than obvious that Obama loves Obama but not America.

# 6. 7/14/10 12:45 AM
I concur with the NAACP, you guys are racists. The truth is that you guys attack President Obama based on the color of his skin. You guys manipulate the constitution to how you want to interpret it. Stand by your "beliefs" as we will also do so.

# 7. 7/14/10 12:47 AM by Gappy - Quincy, IL
You write a hot topic column today Bobbo & I anticipate 3 digit replies! Let me say that there isn't one thing that I can agree with this column & in fact I don't really know where to start. What I DO know is that "we get her & we know she gets us" should be changed to "and she gets our money cuz capitalism is what made this country great & no one is more capitalistic than Sarah in taking money".

So "liberal Democrats" are "evil"? Don't think it's evil to point out stupid & that's what the tea party, you and quitter Sarah are....... almost sorry to hurt your feelings.

Editor's Note: no need to apologize for proving my premise, meat.

# 8. 7/14/10 1:01 AM by shauna petersen - riverton, UT
Love this column! I still wish I coould hear you say it. I feel some days, like I'm drowning in all the crap, and you helped straighten it out, and lighten it up for me, every morning. Miss you guys!

Editor's Note: don't give up hope, ma'am, the game is not over.

# 9. 7/14/10 1:53 AM by Jodi - Wayne County East
All well and good, and I'll certainly do my part at the ballot box, but I still believe as a whole we've crossed the point of no return. The prophets have spoken and the end of the age is soon upon us.

Rapidly escalating terrorism, WMD's and anti-semitism coupled with rapidly decreasing financial stability, and worldwide civility make a smoldering concoction of inevitable destruction.

Sorry Bob, but my vote's for Jesus soon return.

# 10. 7/14/10 2:17 AM by Classic Rock
I like Sarah and the more the liberals make fun of her, the more I defend her because she is like us. She is trying to survive and make a difference in this country gone sour on almost every value that made it desirable. She speaks up no matter who agrees and that is courage. I fear the constitution is in jeopardy under liberal leadership. I hope people wake up before election time and vote for what is right for America to get back on track.

# 11. 7/14/10 4:44 AM
Sarah Palin - Idiot. Nothing else to say except I'm not surprised you are supporting her. Takes one to know one. Two peas in a pod. People are laughing at both of you - not with you.

Editor's Note: you're right. the people are. 32 percent of the people. the democrat entitlement base. beyond that, you're scewed.

# 12. 7/14/10 5:40 AM by frank - rochester
Amen,brother Bob.I will go down fighting with ya.All we need is a leader,who is serious and unafraid,and we will conquer.

# 13. 7/14/10 5:59 AM by rjd
The tea party folks must scare the hell out of the NAACP, they can see their money drying up if they get into power. All they have left is the old "your a racist" crap and like the boy who cried wolf, I doubt many folks are listening to that garbage much any more except for the most liberal self loathing idiots. I've listened to this crap all of my life, that whites are evil and were placed on the earth by the hell hounds of satan, blah, blah, blah, etc. horse crap. I am going to sue all of these minority groups and make them pay reparations for trying to make me have low self esteem because of the color of my skin. I don't care what color you are, roll up your sleeves, get a job and stop your whining. Get out of the cart and start helping to pull the darn thing, the gravy train is at the last stop, the money is gone, you calling me a racist is not going to change the truth.

# 14. 7/14/10 6:02 AM
"And the percentage of racists in the NAACP is far higher than in the Tea Party."

So true, so true.

# 15. 7/14/10 6:11 AM
I also like Sarah because she isn't afraid to say something is b.s. or contrary to common sense when it clearly is, even if it's the way things have been done for years. Our government is so awry, with many individuals more concerned with their own perks, prestige, pork barrels, income, and reelection than the good of the country.

# 16. 7/14/10 6:21 AM by P. Mulley - Fairport, NY
'And I am a Sarah Palin Republican.

Because I am a Constitution Republican.'

Sooner, not later, you are going to have to choose one of these. They aren't the same thing - no matter how hard you wish. Sorry to crap on your fantasy but we have to call the balls and strikes straight-up or we will continue down the path were on.

You do realize that unprincipled 'Conservatism' has given us Barak (your boyfriend) Obama as a President. Why do you clamor for more?

Editor's Note: obama's a conservative? a conservative muslim from indonesia?

# 17. 7/14/10 6:27 AM by tw - rochester, ny
That's great and everything Bob, but the fact remains that Sarah Palin is a quitter. You said so yourself.

We shouldn't support people because of who attacks them and who they are against. We should support them for what they stand for, and Ms. Palin stands for her own profit, and sound bites that would make good bumper stickers.

Palin has zero grasp of economics, energy policy, or foreign policy. Her domestic agenda is a joke.

We need better candidates than her if we want to take back the white house. Capitulating to mediocrity is not what we should be doing, and that's what you just did.

# 18. 7/14/10 6:38 AM by Rick G. - Spencerport, NY
I’ve been a fan of Ms. Palin’s since she came on to the scene and have taken my share of crap for it too. I don’t think we’re alone. I honestly don’t think she’ll run for President, but I think she’s a pitch-perfect spokesperson for the Republican party and whoever she endorses will run over Obama like a tractor-trailer over a squirrel.

And if there isn’t one decent Republican who can compete against this train wreck we have now and she decides to run, I’ll vote for her - moose chili, high heels and all.

# 19. 7/14/10 6:54 AM by ex-pansy
And I refuse to be shamed by the mockery of those who attack the Tea Party and Sarah Palin. The character assassination of the movement and the woman are the desperate, immoral attacks of evil people.

Uh-huh....sure...

Okay, you probably knew this would be coming, so I'll be gentle. Better you hear it from sweet little me than from the wacked-out Canadian guy who will chime in, in about a few hours.

Weren't you the guy that called her a "flake and a quitter" in a column about a year ago?

Some of us have been Sarah Palin /tea party/pro-life/ conservatives the whole time. We always have been, since the day Sarah came on-scene. A few of us out here were not thrown by the abrupt departure from the governorship in Alaska, or her teenage daughter's pregnancy, or the writing-on-the hand thing like some Republicans were.

Let's face it: Some of those "character assassinating, immoral evil people" you are referring to have NOT been liberals.

It's some of these moderate Republicans, and not Sarah, who have been the quitters and flakes. And they are the ones we have to watch out for the most.

# 20. 7/14/10 7:01 AM by OldVietVet - Rochester, NY
The Tea Party may surge in November and, like the old Populists of the past, place some of their candidates - probably in the Republican Party.But I'm not hopefull that a small, powerfull minority of these people will be elected to office.If Carl Paladino appears on the ballot, I'll vote for him.But what are his chances of that-of penetrating the impregnable wall of Democratic party power,or the comfortable and smug money bag line-up of country club Republicans? I admire Sara Palin, but there is a national effort, fronted by the electronic media, to destroy her. She hasn't a chance. The day after the vice pres. debate of 2008,one of your comrades on ch.13 news read outloud, during the 6 P.M. news, four extremely negative comments about Sara Palin.Nothing at all was said about Plugs Biden. When I e-mailed him my displeasure, his lame brain response about his producer being at fault was matched only by his fury at myself for presuming to question his political views. Yea, I support the Tea Party movement,but I'm not optimistic. Dark days are ahead.

# 21. 7/14/10 7:02 AM by Rob Staples - Henrico, VA
Sarah Palin can count on my vote!

# 22. 7/14/10 7:15 AM by eh Rod - CANADA`
"What you can't successfully argue against, you seek to destroy through mockery and scorn." What a perfectly accurate description of what happens here daily to anyone who dares to disagree. You do it and your followers mimic it to the best of their limited abilities. If one even mentions peace he is ridiculed, obviously because no one can "successfully argue against it". I'm glad you've finally recognized what goes on here. I somehow doubt you'll come any closer to an insight. I can and do successfully argue against your nonsense on a regular basis. Sometimes it's almost too easy.

# 25. 7/14/10 7:32 AM by Dave - Macedon, NY
Agreed, Bob. I don't think I can support her for President, mainly because we simply MUST defeat FUBO and I'm not convinced enough people would vote for her. The Conservatives and Republicans must come together on a credible candidate who can get it done at the polls.

# 26. 7/14/10 7:54 AM by gww - rochester, ny
Palin is about Palin and the money is all that matters. I'm sure they can lure her onto the political stage if there's a big enough payoff but she has zero intention of putting any sweat into it. She's a female GWB with less support and no Karl Rove.

"To all you Salt Lake City "Bring back Bob" efforts, let me clue you in on what works. Money talks ... your pleadings do not.

Contact sponsors/advertisers of the station and tell them you will not buy from them until Bob Lonsberry is back ... then don't buy ... this is how it really works ... enough calls the advertisers will start advertising on another station ...

Same thing happened in Rochester, after losing well over $1 million in advertising revenues with Bob gone; the owners had a different view of events and the folding to the hypocritical Ministers and Mayor of Rochester. I imagine the margins on advertising is very high like 90% ....

When the big shots start getting hit in the cash flow somehow they find the right decision. Sad but true."

Dear Masked: I agree.

Okay people let's contact the KNRS advertisers. Don't just stop using their product, but send a letter, too, so they know exactly what the deal is.

Since I have been scanning the other talk station here I have discovered that many of the KNRS advertisers advertise on the other talk radio stations, as well, so the letter is essential.

Go to the "Bring Back Bob Lonsberry" site where a list of advertisers has been started. (Add any that that you know of that are not on the list.)

Keep up the spirit and lets get Bob and Lee back.

# 28. 7/14/10 7:59 AM by rochester escapee
I read a quote, I think it was Saul Alinsky, that states "Ridicule is a man's most powerful weapon." Whenever the left wingers can't make an argument on merits, they resort to name calling.

I read that Bristol and Levi are engaged, but haven't told her parents. I'm guessing they know.

# 31. 7/14/10 8:08 AM by Beth - Canandaigua, NY
I am a Conservative. The Republican Party has let me down way too often. The best we could get to run against So Insane Obama was John McCain. Sadly I think he is more representative of Republicans than any of us care to admit.

In Ontario County we have the lovely Brian Kolb who is a Republicrat. I can't even begin to count the number of RINO's there are in the Republican Party.

I admire Sara Palin. She has guts. She has common sense. And you are correct, the best the media could do was ask her if she had a boob job. The best the left can do is a Tina Fey SNL skit.

Nope, I'm a Conservative. And personally I support Duncan Hunter(the dad) from California for President. He is true to his Conservative roots. Sara would make a great running mate!

# 32. 7/14/10 8:12 AM by Frank C - henrietta
I'm a conservative Republican and fed up with the democrat party BS! I recently ordered a Gadsen Flag (Snake with "Don't Tread On Me" on a yellow field background.)

Here is what Ben Franklin said about the snake design of that flag:

"I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids—She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance.—She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.—As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shewn and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal:—Conscious of this, she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.— Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?"[

'Nuff said! I would encourage all Tea Party members to order one of these flags (online all over the place) to show support for our cause.

I would mock and ridicule ridiculous Rod Crouch from Toronto ( or is it Picton?) but it is just too easy and I need a challenge. But it is interesting to note that he has managed to, once again, make the issue all about him! It's an ego thing isn't it Rod?

I am not sure that I would support Sara for President either, if I had the chance, but I do think she would make an excellent replacement for that boob who is leader of the Republican party and keeps getting himself into trouble with his very large mouth.

The really interesting thing is how much the liberals fear Palin. Calling every Republican president a cowboy, or stupid or a war monger is old hat and we are used to that now. However this new round of name calling, personality assassination and open hatred reveals a group of people who are terrified of the prospects of real change.

Terrified.

Good!

# 35. 7/14/10 8:20 AM by Andrew the fired up Democrat - Henrietta, NY
I have nothing but antipathy for every US senator. They are all self important blowhards who love the sound of their own voice. When senator Obama and his running mate senator Biden was running against senator McCain, having Palin in the mix was a breath of fresh air. But other than the fact that she isn't a senator, I don't know much about what she IS. She stands for apple pie and hockey moms whatever that means. Does she stand for a government that spends less of my money and leaves me alone? I do not know. As the token republican in the room, I was asked what I thought of Sarah Palin. I didn't know what to say. After all this time, I still don't know who she is. The only memorable things she has done is mess up her interview with Katie and quit her day job to get paid for giving speeches.

# 36. 7/14/10 8:51 AM by Montey - Rochester, NY
I used to think Palin was dumb, but she figured out how to get rich off a bunch of rubes. Good for her!

I would respect Palin more if she'd stop joking and hinting about running for the presidency in 2012. It makes me nervous. She's a wonderful spokesperson for the right, but that's it. No presidential material there.

I believe our Republican party is going to sell us out in 2012. They won't run anyone who can beat Obama. Want to bet it'll be another losing McCain/Palin ticket? I pray to God I'm wrong.

Just one question for you big-hearted liberals who keep saying Palin quit. What other choice did you leave her, other than driving her family into bankruptcy, by filing hundreds of frivolous lawsuits which, by some strange Alaska law, she had to defend with personal money? And I'm sure you can all stand proud, having bastardized every child in the family, to include a defenseless Downs' Syndrome infant.

# 43. 7/14/10 8:59 AM by JT - Rochester
You tools can't crow about Fox News's great ratings and then whine about the liberal media. Let me see Sarah Palin do a real interview with a real journalist. Believe in what you want but the woman is an idiot.

Declaration Of Present Tense When in the course of current events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which tie them to an elected representative, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the election of and equal station to which the Laws of Nature, Nature’s God, and the Constitution of these United States entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of constituents requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to vote. We hold these truths to be self evident…, that Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Health, Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. Such has been the patient sufferance of these United states. The history of this administration is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid nation. He has, from the outset, aligned himself with a corrupt organization whose most egregious word in their name is, “Now”, as if to imply that should we fail to satisfy their immediate desires, great civil unrest shall ensue. He has surrounded himself with a dark, un-vetted Cabinet of “Czars”, comprised of some of the most Socially corrupt, and unsavory Characters, who do not answer to any one body of established Government, save himself. He has denied that the very founding of this nation had been based on Christian Values, and is indeed a Christian Nation He has defamed these Great United states, on foreign soil in speeches that have both weakened our forces, and brought comfort to our enemies, while at the same time, brought great distress to his own citizens, riling them to Protest. He has neglected the call of his Generals at a time of War to secure the safety, and success of our soldiers in an Overseas contingency Operation, ie. War on Terror, so that he may yet again Grandstand on the world stage in Copenhagen. He has... He has... He has...! How many more, He has, do we suffer this administration, this Congress of Corruption, before we WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Of course the Tea Party is racist - anyone who is white is automatically a racist; anyone whether white or not who believes in the Constitution is a racist; anyone whether white or not who opposes not-my-president Obama and his Big Government is a racist; anyone who does not follow the talking points of the one-party media is a racist. I guess that makes me a racist, even though my family is a mixture of Mexican, Portuguese, Caribbean and who knows what else along the way.

It just makes life easier to avoid debating the issues and spend all their time attacking those who support our nation's founding principles. The one-party media journalists probably took shortcuts in school too, cheating on tests, partying instead of studying, and knowing that in our brave new world it doesn't matter what you know or don't know, just follow the party line and repeat what everyone else says.
