Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Tuesday, 24 December 2019

We would like to thank you for spending your time with us here at the Virtual Center, because we know that your time is precious. We look forward to spending more time with you in the coming year!

Today’s pre-Christmas program focuses on the amendments, James Madison, and what exactly are inalienable rights. You may find that it isn’t what you were thinking.

We hope your holiday’s are bright and filled with love. May you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! 

Moran Monday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 23 December 2019

Once upon a time, news cycles tended to go relatively quiet this time of year. That’s why we had all those interminable year-in-review pieces that littered the media landscape like so much confetti at a New Year’s bash. Gone are the days. Now, our divisions, our bones-jutting-from-the-skin fractures, our manifest cultural ugliness, keeps us on the edge of our seats waiting to hear the next outrage. Anti-vaxxers. Nitwit Nero inveighing against “windmills” (“Wind TURBINES, Bob,” yells Sparky), Rudy Ghouliani declaring he’s a better Jew. So here we are: it’s damned near Christmas and “peace on earth to people of good will” has never been further out of reach.

Friday-on-the-Front Porch, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 20 December 2019

The Pageants are becoming as predictable as a reality TV show. Thursday was Pile-on-Pete, and “Wine Cave Billionaires” needs to be a band name by the end of the weekend. Tom Steyer needs to get off his term limits fixation. America’s Nazi problem continues. Carnivorous vegans. Interesting news from the Mountaintop Removal struggle . . . and from a most unexpected source. The Front Porch gang takes on the question of withholding the Articles. Nitwit Nero wants Ms. Nancy impeached . . . because nitwit.

Welcome back to another discussion of current events and our civic duties. We discussed James Madison and his views on governing and what that meant to the Commons. We the People aren’t seeming to get much traction theses days and that isn’t how America was meant to be, or was it? Listen to today’s program and review the writings of James Madison and I think you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Today’s program is following the hearings being held on our President’s impeachment and the chaos ensuing where the Constitution is supposed to reign highest in the land, our Government.

Join in our conversation and test your knowledge regarding what the Constitution describes as “high crimes and misdemeanors” and how you feel it’s being interpreted with regard to the issues at hand.  

Friday-on-the-Front Porch, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 6 December 2019

Venereal Vespasian was, shall we say, feeling a bit flushed on Friday. Naturally, the Extraordinary Ordinary Roundtable had to address it. Nitwit Nero has said some plenty bizarre, er,  stuff over the last three plus years, but this was weird even for him. Nimrata Haley gives the game away in her confederate flag remarks to the Beckerhead. Adam Schiff drops a line to Mike Pencel-neck Geek. Wait. Beavis was in Ukraine? We must investigate!

We pulled up a mite short for the week in fundraising. We finished with $95 to go. The podcast crew can clean the slate.

Thorn-in-the-Side Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 5 December 2019

It’s Nancy Pelosi day, as she demonstrated what real leadership, real will looked like. She got a two-fer, taking down Venereal Vespasian and a lick-spittle MAGAT reporter for Sinclair. Elsewhere, 350 psychiatrists begged the House Judiciary Committee to take Combover Caligula’s mental illness as seriously as it deserves. And hey! We may have found one of Moscow Mitch’s ancestors . . . in Congress, no less!

Impeachment is on everyone’s minds today and will likely continue to be the focal point of news until all of this is settled. That being said, when will it end? We as a nation have fail safes built into our Constitution to prevent what is happening within our government by our Founders, but it takes a functioning governing body to make it work as it was designed.

It’s past time for those fail safes to take effect and we get down to the business of fixing what’s been broken. Our nation.
