Marty's Musings

The thoughts of NewsTalk 790 Today Thursday co-host Marty Green.

WHY I AM FRUSTRATED

Sunday Morning, May 19th, 2013, Year of our Lord.  I awake in time to watch all Sunday Talk Shows.

Dan Pfeiffer, an Obama spokesperson, is out there spinning away.  He sounded like the Nixonites did before Watergate broke wide open.  Whether it's Benghazi…The IRS…or the AP Wiretaps…I could not believe my ears.  We didn’t know…We weren’t involved……yeh yeh yeh.

This administration came into office saying how transparent they would be.  Instead they are the opposite.  Susan Rice’s and Hillary Clinton’s lies on the aftermath of the Benghazi attacks…{The Video was the reason}…to never allowing the survivors of that attack to speak in public.  To not knowing anything at all  about THE IRS going after “THE TEA PARTY and PATRIOT GROUPS”.  Eric Holder's lack of memory on that and FAST AND FURIOUS has a track record of deceit.

On the AP Wiretaps…Why weren’t they going after the Leakers in Government instead of the Reporters.  DEEP THROAT was a leaker that led to exposing Watergate. {Watch ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN if you are too young to have lived it.}

Dan Pfeifer stated the Republicans are in danger of overreaching…I guess Woodward and Bernstein overreached Uh?

It won’t happen but Barack Obama…is a worse president than Jimmy Carter.  IMPEACHMENT would cause gridlock as Brian Kilmeade said and Biden as Prez is a frightening prospect.  BUT LIES and DISCEPTION must stop.

To my liberal friends…Don’t call up and blame “W”.  He is not the President and if he lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction…He should have been impeached too.

I voted for Obama in 2008…Hoping that change would bring us together.  Boy was I wrong.  His new Slogan is  now in full swing by Dan Pfeiffer and Jay Carney.  It is “HOPE and CHANGE THE SUBJECT.”  We in talk radio will not.  Keep it up Brian…Laura…Mark…Rush…Sean…Glen and I will too…

MARTYS BLOG….I’M BACK

I actually have 4 families…that mean a lot to me…My family…wife Mary Jane..4 children, 2 son-in-laws..4 grandkids and sister-in-laws..nieces..cousins..nieces and nephews, etc. My Green Bay and Eau Claire broadcast Families and my original broadcast family in South Carolina.  I am back from an absolutely fantastic visit back to where my 50+ year radio career began as a 20-year-old DJ.  My wife Mary Jane and I traveled to both Orangeburg and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  To visit with all of these Friends -- both co workers and listeners from 1962-1967 -- was a thrill of a lifetime.

To be on the air on both WORG and The Surf 94.9 was a thrill. It was exactly 51 years ago that I started on May 1st,  1962, and to be back on that great station with my pal Marion Garris {who I hired almost 50 years ago} and wife Jody, and daughter and great DJ in her own right Meredith, and joining great morning guy Stu Wright for 3 hours of playing  “THE TOP 60 in DIXIE,” and see former DJs I worked with 50 years ago was a moving experience.

Saturday Night we went to dinner with Sonny and Pat Williams who ran the music store where I compiled that Top 60 Survey, and relive memories with them and Betty Jean Hildebrand and Daughter Diana and great friends from those by gone days was emotional. When we walked into “THE CHESTNUT GRILL” and the hostess..said…"You're Marty Green…I remember you from 50 years ago" knocked me out.  For the folks who stopped in at WORG’s studio or called me up.  I thank you Forever.  We were on WAYY and WORG Monday -- that was Fun.

So thank you Orangeburg for taking me into your heart 50 years ago. And thanks to the entire staff of WORG for welcoming me back with so much love and joy. Great stations are a family and I have met some of the best wherever I have worked. Orangeburg…Green Bay and Eau Claire. By the way the folks I met like their Gov. Haley…Mark Sanford and even Lindsey Graham {Most of the time}.  They do not like Liberals or President Obama or Hillary Clinton.  About Benghazi……I heard the word Impeachment while in South Carolina.

More next Thursday when I am on WAYY……{Glad to be home}     Marty Read More

MARTY ON TERRORISTS

Now that the horror of The Boston Marathon Bombing is over and one terrorist is dead and one has been captured, the finger pointing has started. Who dropped the ball at the FBI? Why didn’t they know what happened to the older brother after he returned from Russia, etc., etc.  We quickly forget how well the law enforcement agencies all cooperated to get these guys.

But one thing puzzles me and has ever since 9/11. Whether these 2 acted on their own or were inspired by events they were Terrorists and they were Muslims. Why is the Muslim community so quiet in denouncing them.  Our Press continues to be politically correct and the Muslim Community continues to remain silent in denouncing violent extremists? I am Jewish;  if this had been a Jewish extremist I hope the Jewish community would come forward and denounce this type of activity. The press had no problem labeling the IRA {Irish Republican Army} as terrorists.  Also the Press is quick to mention “THE TEA PARTY” or RIGHT WING GROUPS after Gabby Giffords was shot in Arizona.  Even Bill Maher denounced this type of activity and a religion that if you are critical of they will try to kill you…Just ask Salmon Rushdie. Maher stated It’s time for Muslim Leaders in this country to speak up.

TERROR and its EXTREMISTS cannot be condoned no matter where it originates.  Timothy McVeigh just hated this country, so did these two.

People like Tom Brokaw trying to explain it away…is out of line. Read More

SPORTS VS. SOCIAL MEDIA

I recently had a conversation with an area High School Baseball Coach and was alarmed by his comments about the lack of students coming out for sports.

I know that Football has become our number #1 spectator sport but I was shocked to hear that kids in general are not participating in sports like in the past. They have to make a commitment in time and effort to play a sport, while sitting in front of a computer or iPhone and playing video games takes neither.  And while I don’t agree with Mayor Bloomberg’s efforts to reduce obesity I do agree with him that kids and us adults need to get off the couch and do something physical rather just sitting there. I will turn 70 on Saturday and I workout 6 days a week.  If nothing else WALK. {I do 2 miles a day almost everyday}.

When I hear that High schools are having a hard time encouraging students coming out for Baseball.  Even schools with a traditionally good baseball program are finding Video Games more appealing than the commitment kids need to make to a sport.  I have been lucky to have grandkids -- both male and female -- who did make a commitment to sports like Wrestling…Track…Rugby…Lacrosse…Basketball…Football…Baseball and Tennis, too.  It wasn’t easy but Paige…Jacob…Kayla…and Justin enjoyed competing.

Baseball by example is America…and I encourage those of you with kids and grandkids to support them in sports or choir or helping in their community.  I now have a Son-in-Law who is a football official.  His only request is to parents…let the kids play.  Parents are sometimes more of a problem for Coaches and Officials.  Enjoy the games and KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT…PLEASE…… Read More

MARTY GREEN NOT HAPPY

Obama and the LIBERAL Press are out to destroy conservative thinking and we need to get our act together, both in D.C. and here at home.

I also strongly disagree with Gov. Walker and Republicans wanting to return the extra surplus money.  How much will it cost to return it?  Learn from Lee Dreyfus and Tommy Thompson.  It didn’t work for them and it won’t work now. What’s wrong with a Rainy Day Fund?  Also, if we don’t get our act together soon…and if Ron Kind runs for Gov. in Wisconsin, we will lose that office as well if we don’t wake up.

Remember, the mainstream press is the enemy…never forget that fact.

We need to have candidates who know how to talk to the enemy press.  Bad Examples…Missouri…Indiana and Rice Lake.  And I am still VERY upset that Tommy Thompson lost.  {3 weeks of no TV or Radio and TOMMY’s NOT FOR US ANYMORE ads with no reply did him in.}  And those Pac Ads {“Damn Right” against Baldwin backfired}.  I couldn’t believe they were running something like that and said so at the time on WAYY. {I know Tommy couldn’t control that ad but almost seemed like whomever ran it wanted him to lose.}

I am proud of Senator Ron Johnson -- a true conservative -- and State Rep’s Warren Petryk, Kathy Bernier and Tom Larson, and Sen. Moulton. STAND STRONG.

I welcome an opportunity to discuss these objections.  I am not for Big Government but do believe we need effective government.  What  is wrong with spending some of this surplus on infrastructure roads and bridges or educational needs. Our Medical community? Read More
