Well, it didn’t take the main stream media long, did it?  In the wake of  Tuesday night’s historic victory, our new Speaker of the House John Boehner is being asked what Republicans will do to create jobs since they didn’t care for the ideas coming from Obama and his fiscally brilliant staff of golden goose growers. My Republican friends, lest …

Most of you have heard the phrase, “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times.”  This is especially true for an unusual story told in the  film, Groundhog Day which I had the pleasure of introducing my girlfriend to over the weekend, courtesy of DVD.  The movie is some twenty years old by now, so I’m not …

Republican gubernatorial candidate, Carl Paladino just can’t seem to stay out of the news. After speaking against gay pride parades and the “brainwashing” of children into accepting the lifestyle, Paladino came under severe attack from the media and found himself apologizing for his remarks. “I sincerely apologize for any comment that may have offended the Gay and Lesbian community or …

What did we keep hearing for the past year and a half as the Tea Party movement grew and showed itself to be far more formidable than Democratic or Republican politicians ever could have imagined? “Gee, ” Republican pundits were saying, “I sure hope the Tea Party remains a grass roots movement. Yeah, sure, go ahead and hold our feet …

What is my problem with Republicans? All too often their values (which I generally agree with) are abandoned. They talk tough and uncompromising when they are out of power or sitting in Washington as the minority party. Then, shortly after they win elections and regain the majority, our faithful representatives worry more about getting reelected then doing their job. They …

Have you heard the latest?  As if the past three decades of speeches and actions were not enough, Jimmy Carter tops off his autobiography with the most golden words of all, spoken during a recent NBC interview: “I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents.” You’re close, Jimmy, but not exactly …

Religious leaders all over the country have marked today, September 20, as the beginning of a 40 day fast, taking us right up to the November 2010 mid term election. If you are not religious but have some agnostic related view of God, you too are invited. Simply pray that whoever God is, He will answer your prayer. And to …

Conservatives are in near euphoria as November approaches. All reliable polls suggest that Republicans will take back the House. Some indicators even see the Senate changing hands. Assuming Obama doesn’t create some crisis and find a way to blame Conservatives, I am planning a celebration on election night. But only a brief one. Then, we must get ready for 2012. …

Well, he never did it. Pastor Terri Jones called off the Koran book burning. Unfortunately, the media took this planned, but obscure, little incident and and turned it into a world wide event with ramifications that we’ll be experiencing for quite some time. That is the subject on this week’s Bob Siegel Show. The program aired 9-12-10 and can now …

I have written much about Islam but this is my first (and hopefully last) piece on the infamous Terry Jones’ saga. Rarely do we see one news story spiral into such  a panorama of emotional  and philosophical discussions. Since it is human nature to react first and listen second, people find themselves starting with one argument, only to get whisked …

Well, Obama is doing it again. Since he can’t play the “blame Bush” card every day, he occasionally pulls his “Republicans are the party of no,” card from the bottom of the deck… Read entire story in my latest piece for San Diego News Room Bob Siegel is a weekend radio talk show host on KCBQ and columnist.

Excitement flows through the land. Maybe this time, Helpful Hillary will accomplish what nobody ever succeeded in before, a peace treaty between the Israelis and Palestinians. At the expense of sounding like Lt. Columbo, please indulge me as I ask a few simple, child like questions. 1) When two countries sign a treaty, aren’t they both supposed to make concessions?  …

Have you ever noticed that when a person tells you their position on one controversial issue, you immediately know their position on just about every other newsworthy topic as well?  Eventually they tell you anyway, but the truth is, they don’t need to tell you. All you need to hear is one opinion and you automatically know all opinions. Let …

From the Associated Press August 18th, 2010 SALT LAKE CITY — The 14 crosses erected along Utah roads to commemorate fallen state Highway Patrol troopers convey a state preference for Christianity and are a violation of the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court said Wednesday. The ruling reverses a 2007 decision by a federal district judge that said the crosses …

On Tuesday, August 17, Nancy Pelosi mouthed off about the Ground Zero mosque to San Francisco’s KCBS radio, “There is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,” she said in that gentle, self righteous, patronizing voice. Pelosi then went on to make clear that she joins “those who have called for looking into how is this …

When Obama was running for president, he promised: “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” -Barack Obama– September 12th 2008 Then, while trying to pass his “health care reform,” Obama came …
