Exclusive: Michael Savage Banned From Great Britain: The Crime? Speaking His Mind

Lisa Richards

Uncompassionate Savage Treatment

By Lisa Richards

July 2, 2009

Talk Radio host and best-selling book author Dr. Michael Savage, the man who coined the phrase “Compassionate Conservatism” in 1994, is being treated savagely by Great Britain and AWOL Republicans who love to use his famous phrase during campaign season.

On Tuesday May 5, 2009, Great Britain’s Home Secretary Jacqui Smith placed Dr. Michael Savage’s name on a watch list for extremism, hate, and terror.  Savage was immediately barred entrance to the UK.  Savage has never called for violence or extremism.  I know this because I listen to his radio show every night.  Savage does not incite brutal behavior, his rhetoric speaks the truth, never calling for harm.  Liberals in his hometown of San Francisco constantly provoke and display aggressive assaults against conservatives and Christians.  They are welcome in the UK.

Compassionate Conservatism is misused by wimpy Republicans bestowing amnesty on illegals in order to gain votes.  That was not Savage’s purpose for his term.  It was not intended to grant compassion to criminals and anti-American actions.  Oddly, the conservative talk host, standing up daily for America’s freedom, is being tossed aside by conservative and Republican politicians not defending Savage’s free speech and civil rights.  The Republican Party, which claims they don’t want Dems to enact the Fairness Doctrine, is not being fair to Michael Savage.  Yet they consistently use his words for political gain.

No other conservative talk radio host is banned from Europe or the UK, only Michael Savage, whose words were taken completely out of context by Media Matters and edited into sentences making Savage’s rhetoric sound extreme and violent, proving Media Matters hates Dr. Savage and wants him off the air and will attempt perjury to do so.

Youtube sound bites of Savage are mostly edited and spliced, making Savage sound cruel and inhumane.  Anyone who takes the time to listen to the Savage Nation knows Media Matters and Youtube are out to get Michel Savage banned from talk radio.

On May 31, 2009, the British Home Office stated: “Coming to the UK is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life.”

How ironic: Great Britain is the country that was bombed for decades by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) calling for violent actions against the British.  The UK is now targeted by subway and bus-bombing Muslims marching in London streets chanting death to Great Britain and the West. 

Parliament does nothing to Muslims; acting against the inciters of bloodshed would insult Islam.  Parliament negotiated for years with the brutal IRA rather than taking them out for murdering tens of thousands of human beings.  Both murderous groups receive hand slaps and open borders. 

Michael Savage however is a dangerous man.  Be careful if you are on the same plane as he; the PhD scientist might talk to you about the greatness of freedom, civil rights and New York pizza while explaining the beauty of Brazilian rain forest botany.  Oh yes, Dr. Savage is precariously treacherous. 

There is something called the Koran and Hadith that tells Muslims to kill all the infidels, not Michael Savage. 

On June 10, 2009, in a column titled “Take me off the blacklist: Shock jock tells Brown,” the UK’s Independent Jerome Taylor wrote: “Michael Savage refuses to drop his libel claim against Jacqui Smith, who he says defamed him when she said he was on a list of people banned from Britain…the controversial American talk show host Michael Savage announced he was continuing his personal £100,000 libel case against the former Home Secretary after she placed him on a list of people banned from entering Britain and condemned him on television.” 

Jacqui smith, who suddenly resigned her post when Savage filed the lawsuit against her, claimed Michael Savage is to blame for Islam’s bloody actions.  Smith lied and Prime Minister Gordon Brown has done nothing to remove Savage from the terror watch list.  Smith deserves to be sued by Savage and Brown owes him an apology.

Savage wrote Gordon Brown demanding his name be removed from the list, stating he is “likely to recover a very substantial award in damages,” asking that Parliament “remove forthwith my name from the excluded list of individuals.”

Savage, who has not applied for a UK passport, was “named and shamed” by the Home Office and Jacqui Smith as “someone who has fallen into the category of fomenting hatred, of such extreme views and expressing them in such a way that it is actually likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence if that person were allowed into the country.”

Savage refuses to back down from Smith’s “named and shamed” sham.  He has hired the law firm Olswang, going forward with his suit.  Such a suit is embarrassing to the UK, not to mention Savage asked his eight million listeners to boycott all things British.

Jacqui Smith, the pro-EU politician who pushed for the Identity Card with mythological Greek Bulls versus British symbols and Britain’s flag on the card’s face, should be sued for the fact she was an incompetent at her job.  She can ad liar to her resume.

If Michael Savage is unwelcome in the UK, so am I.  I am a listener and fan, therefore a threat because I believe in speaking the truth.  Worse: I’m a conservative writer who speaks out against Islam, liberalism, socialism, communism, fascism; I’ve called Gordon Brown “moth-eaten” because his socialist policies are buggy.  I also think Prince Charles secretly wishes he was queen.

Did I mention I wear fur, eat meat, use electricity, love gardening (Savage is an expert botanist), own huge gas guzzling autos, believe smoking should be legal, and keep a copy of the constitution in every room in my house as well as my handbag?

That alone puts me on Janet Napolitano’s list of far right-wing extremists who may flip out and incite riots.

Michael Savage is banned from the UK, therefore I support the boycott.  I always preferred Irish Aran wool and purchase all my heavy duty sweaters from Irish knitters who consider Ireland the fifty-first U.S. state.

Again I ask: where are all the conservatives?  Why are they not standing up and defending a fellow American conservative who loves America and defends the constitution nightly on his talk show?

What about Republican politicians misusing Savage’s famous phrase?  If they intend on using the axiom, don’t abandon the man who coined the expression.  Speak out against Jacqui Smith and Gordon Brown: tell them they violated freedom of speech and civil rights.  Don’t go AWOL and pretend compassionate actions when a fellow American is being used as a scapegoat to destroy conservative talk radio.

Jacqui Smith’s action are not about Michael Savage, he’s Smith’s example used in an attempt to silence all conservative pundits, radio and TV hosts.

If Americans don’t stand up and support Michael Savage, demand his name be removed from the terror watch list, America will watch freedom of speech die to the Fairness Doctrine with help from a nation Americans fought to gain independence from.

To My Father:

Happy Father’s Day

By Lisa Richards

June 21, 2009

I’m blessed to have a father who truly is what a father should be: loyal husband, dedicated father, and devoted friend to all who know him.  I’m fortunate to be the daughter of a man who is not just my father, but my friend.

Growing up we never wanted or needed for anything, dad made sure we were provided for.  If times were down and building houses—dad’s business—was slow, dad did whatever it took to provide.  That included opening a health food store and photo shops, which were profitable in the 1970’s and 80’s.  Family came first above what dad loves to do: building houses and drawing cartoons.

Before I entered school, I went to work every day with my father.  For the health food store we drove to Hunts Point Market New York City to get organic fruit and veggies.  Dad had a Dodge van.  On the radio was talk radio.  There was no Rush or Sean then; Bob Grant was king and dad loved Bob.  By age four I was well aware of politics because of dad and Bob.  Dad would laugh hysterically, slapping his knee as he drove, when Bob would tell some 60’s liberal hippie to “put your teeth in backwards and chew,” or “go gargle with Drano.”

Of course I repeated Bob’s rhetoric to my brothers when I got home.  Mom would say: “I take it you and daddy were listening to Bob today.” 

By the time I was four I was a Goldwater girl because Dad and mom’s values were very traditional, Christian American.  The liberal hippie generation was unleashed, but never accepted in our home.  Mom and dad reared with discipline and old-fashioned values.  Not to mention razors and soap, and bras for me.

My father was a church elder until ten years ago.  I was raised in a Biblical-based house.  Dad never slammed the Bible over our heads or forced Bible studies on us, he taught us kids the scriptures, always making sure we knew Jesus loves us.”  And he taught us well without legalism or hell-fire.

In the 1970’s, a church sermon was given on rock n’ roll music: it was the devil’s music and kids with Rolling Stones or Beetle’s records would suffer God’s wrath.  On the way home my older brother and I were silent and scared: we had the stones, Jefferson Airplane, the Beetles and the Kinks.  Were we going to hell? 

Dad interrupted the silence, telling us rock n’ roll was not evil  and God would  not strike us dead for listening to Mick Jagger: “In my day I listened to the Big Bopper and Jerry Lee Lewis.”  Dad and mom still listen to Jerry Lee. 

Just don’t ask dad to dance, he never liked it.  He danced at his wedding to mom, but that’s it for dancing.  Dad loves to listen and tap his feet.

Dad loves rockabilly, jazz, country and Mozart.  He’s a fan of the New York Yankees, Giants, and UCONN Women’s Basketball.  He grew up in a family of golf pros but never took up the game.  Dad’s an artist and writer.  He loves gardening, cartooning, and writing over playing sports.  But his favorite hobby is grocery shopping. 

He played with us kids: sledding, building igloos and tree houses.  We spent every summer on Block Island with dad helping us build sand castles and playing in the surf as mom looked on from the shore yelling out: “don’t drown yourselves!”  Mom would always say she had a fourth child: her husband Dave whom she calls “Rick (short for last name).”   

My brothers and I grew up on a farm as dad did.  He taught us to take care of animals and garden.  I still garden with dad, who loves designing them.  Animals are still a part of family life.  I’ve never seen an animal that didn’t take to my father, including his two month-old baby Rottweiler: “daddy’s baby.”

I’ve never met a person who didn’t love dad and call him friend.  Everyone loves dad.  He’s kind, calm, friendly, understanding and easy to be around, always there to help neighbors in need.  He’s not a snob, he’s real, a traditional conservative with originalist constitutional beliefs he instilled in his three children. 

Dad never minces words.  If something is not right he says so.  He doesn’t hold back on calling wrong, wrong.  He respects but he doesn’t tolerate or simply accept to avoid hurt feelings.  He taught my brothers and me to do the same.

Dad is laid back plaid flannel shirts and khaki pants with Topsiders or Penny Loafers.  He has two beautiful pinstripes suits hanging in the back of his closet collecting dust.  Suits and ties are abhorred: “I hope I don’t have to put on a suit for this event,” he states when some shindig comes up.  Mom always replies that he looks handsome in a suit.  Dad responds: “I’m not wearing a suit.  I’ll wear khakis and a dress shirt.  I’m not going to be uncomfortable.” 

At my parent’s wedding dad did not wear a tux; he wore his Sunday church suit.  We have one photo of dad in a tux he was forced to wear to an event.  “Dad’s wearing a tux?  Wow, get a picture!”  Not only did he wear it, he had to rent “wasted money.” “You better get your picture now,” he told mom, “this is the only time you’ll ever see me in a tux.” “What will you wear when our daughter get’s married?” mom asked.  Dad answered with a smile: “jeans, sneakers and my red flannel shirt.” 

Dad turned 76 this spring, but looks 50.  Those who don’t know his age assume he’s only 50.  He still loves to work.  When not working he’s reading, writing, cartooning, or, like me, glued to Fox News and talk radio. 

Dad’s office library looks like a bookstore: conservative books, history books, famous cartoonists books, art books, archeology, etc, stacks of CD’s and more Bibles than the Vatican, dating back to the 1800’s from ancestors.

We kids are grown but still very close to dad.  We still ask dad’s advice on everything despite our ages.  Dad always knows best and his advice continuously comes straight from the Bible.  His prayers are always for his family.  He still puts himself last. 

If not for my father I wouldn’t have a college education.  I wouldn’t have anything.  My father made sure I had everything I wanted growing up, and continues championing me in all I do.  I wouldn’t be a writer if not for dad’s support that began when I was in second grade writing short stories.  He knew I was a writer and encouraged me to follow my dreams and never give up.  He and mom are my big

est fans. 

Everyone tells me dad brags to all about my columns.   Mom always declares how proud dad is of me, that he believes I can do anything. 

I owe my father much, but he asks nothing in return from his children, just wants our love and friendship.  He has that unconditionally.  He’s the best father any child could ask for. 

My brothers and I are blessed, very blessed, and we know it.  For us Father’s Day is every day.

LIBERALS CAN NOW RELAX:

TERRORISTS ARE SAFE FROM PRESIDENT BUSH

BY LISA RICHARDS

JANUARY 2009

Terrorists, environmentalists, feminists, and liberals in general, can all heave a sigh of relief: the man who unkindly called despotic dictatorships an “axis of evil,” and told the world “you’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists,” removed from power the madman, who gassed thousands of human beings to death with biological weapon of mass destruction and enforced rape and torture on demand as law, (but was no threat to America or the world), and waged a war against terror that has been murdering Americans for decades and the world for 1,400 years, has left the building. 

For eight years liberals have despised George W. Bush with an all-out passion.  Bush committed the same sins all patriotic presidents who love America do: he stood up to the enemy and kept Americans safe from another bloody attack.  For that Bush is hated by embarrassed liberals worried Europe may hate America and the French may never want to eat with us.

Like Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush hates evil and believes it must be destroyed before it destroys any more human lives.  Liberals loathed Reagan for calling their beloved Soviet Union an evil empire.  It didn’t matter that Reagan ended the Cold War and destroyed communism, which massacred an estimated 100 million, or that the USSR had nuclear warheads aimed at the U.S., Reagan interfered with population control and the Soviets rights to amass weapons of mass destruction against the great Satan.  For that faux pas Reagan never received the Nobel Peace Prize.  Mikhail Gorbachev, who preferred socialism to capitalism and had to be forced into releasing millions of Eastern Europeans from walled up slavery, was handed the prize and is credited with ending the Cold War.

Like Reagan, Bush had the guts to threaten enemies, fight them, call them evil, and get results that save and preserve life.  Thanks to President Bush America has been safe for from attacks on our soil eight years.  Bush refused to negotiate with enemies liberals think American presidents should sit down to tea with.  Bush’s doctrine of fighting the enemy on their soil versus ours worked.  Keeping terrorists locked up in Guantanimo Bay prevented savages from re-entering al Qaeda training camps, thus killing more American military.  Despite the successes in the War on Terror, liberals are more concerned that over-fed terrorists living on a sunny island with palm trees might suffer sleep deprivation and pruned skin caused by water-boarding (a harmless technique Navy Seals use in their own training and children perform on each other in swimming pools).

Bush’s official “Strategy For Winning The War On Terror” has prevented another 9/11.

Liberals hate the above policy.  It has kept America safe and insulted France and Germany.  The left, which insists Iraq is “another Vietnam,” would rather focus on the number of civilian casualties in Iraq, never once pointing out that Muslims with backpacks, AK-47’s, and car-bombs are killing civilians (when they aren’t hiding behind them) every day.  The left screamed and stamped their feet, demanding Bush beef up military might.  When he did, the surge worked.  Liberals were still unhappy.  Bush should have focused on the nuke-acquiring Iran (but only through peaceful negotiations).

Because of George W. Bush, citizens of Afghanistan and Iraq are able to vote in free, open elections.  Muslim girls are allowed to go to school; Muslim women can go back to college, run for office, and keep their heads attached to their bodies.  George W. Bush’s Christian beliefs and realist view of evil led to Iraqi’s freedom from Saddam and their being able to try and execute the dictator who murdered his own people for sport.  Still, liberals scream “Bush lied, people died!”  The truth is: because Saddam lied (and the UN catered to him), tens of thousands died.  But liberals insist Bush is the “war criminal,” who made the world hate us, or as MSNBC’s Keith Olberman declared on January 11, 2007: Bush’s actions might make “insurgents in Iraq” and countries like “Iran and Syria” think the U.S. “look[s] like a country run by the equivalent of the drunken pest who gets battered to the floor of the saloon by one punch, then staggers to his feet, and shouts at the other guy’s friends, ‘Ok, which one of you is next?’”  This is what worries liberals: Bush might make terrorists angry. 

Jose Padilla was unable to set off a dirty bomb, the Lackawanna Six were captured before blowing up Los Angeles, jihadists associated with bin Laden are at Gitmo (receiving Habeas Corpus), Saddam’s diabolical sons were killed, Islamic terror cells have been found and captured and Momar Quadaffi relinquished his WMD’s.  Bush insulted everyone trying to annihilate mankind.

Bush admitted in his last press conference that he should have pushed harder for immigration reform.  I agree, but doing so would simply have made him more conservative.  Liberal definition of the KKK.

I do not believe Bush should have agreed there are no WMD’s in Iraq.  For eight years the Clinton Administration insisted there are, and Saddam Hussein proved them true by using chemical and biological weapons to gas humans.  Bush was correct, but liberals in Washington demanded apologies until Bush apologized for putting America first and his popularity last.

Bush is not perfect.  Neither was Reagan when it came to amnesty and borders.  Despite that criticism I am grateful to Bush for acting like an American.  He never did the popular, he did what is right.  He never wavered on his beliefs and convictions, even when trying to be friends with American Muslims, who, in the end, hate Bush for showing compassion.  Bush never let the country down.  America still stands, intact, secure, because one man refused to kowtow to a murderous religion and those who follow it unto the death of all who refuse.

I would rather have a rhetorically inept cowboy as president than a wimped yes-man with lips attached to the backside of every catered-to American.  I don’t vote for oratorical brilliance, I vote for the safety and perseverance of this great nation.  Bush governed from that perspective: safety first, his personal standing last.  He is an American at heart and proudly let us all know.  For that Bush is reviled by the left. 

Regardless that George W. Bush defended and protected this nation, keeping America resilient; do not expect him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.  That honor only goes to those who commit or support terror while raising taxes on the rich.

Cindy McCain: The Real Community Organizer by Lisa Richards (more by this author) Posted 09/09/2008 ET Barack Obama has spent two years telling America that his wife works for the community of south-side Chicago, making Americans think Mrs. Obama devotes her life to charity work.  The opposite is true: Mrs. Obama sits on the board of University of Chicago Medical Center and is paid her for her work.  It’s been reported that a patient can only be treated at the hospital he or she has insurance, yet Michelle Obama claims she fights for those in need.  Cindy McCain saves lives without receiving one dime; she has literally gotten down in the trenches with people less fortunate, never seeking praise or money. The only thing Americans hear about Cindy McCain is she is the chairperson of her father’s Anhauser-Bush beer distributorship, Hensley & Company, and her personal net worth is $100 million dollars.  Many do not realize Mrs. McCain’s father borrowed the money to start his business in 1955; one year after his daughter was born.  Cindy McCain was not born to wealth.  The media and press never tell her real accomplishments of service to those in need around the world. The media has devoted two years to praising Mrs. Obama because she’s married to Barry Obama, but what has she essentially done that makes her First Lady material?  Michelle Obama has no track record as a lawyer fighting for the community; her reputation of service is based on what she and her husband have invented for the media. The wife of John McCain is a heroine, a fearless woman willing to lay her own life on the line to rescue others.  The woman who introduced her husband on September 4, 2008 at the Republican National Convention was presented to the audience in a video narrated by Senator McCain.  The beer heiress is the very definition of beauty, brains, and guts. Cindy McCain is the first in her family to graduate from college?  Cindy McCain graduated from the University of Southern California, not an Ivy League college, and went on to teach special needs children in the state of Arizona.  Her life story is outstanding and that of a role model: the mother of four selflessly aids victims of land mines, birth defects, genocide, starvation, deprivation, and disease. •    1988: Mrs. McCain founded the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVNT) and led 55 medical aid missions into war-zones over a seven year period.  •    1994: Mrs. McCain witnessed the Rwanda genocide first hand when her team risked their lives to help victims of gang rape, murder, hunger and disease.  Mrs. McCain says she had to step over dead bodies to find those still alive. •    Mrs. McCain serves on the board of Operation Smile, a non-profit organization providing surgery to children born with cleft lips.  100,000 around the world children can smile because of Operation Smile. •    Mrs. McCain is a member of the Halo Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to removing land-mines.  Halo has removed 7,000 land mines in 10 countries around the world. •    Mrs. McCain volunteered for missions to Morocco, Vietnam, and India.  On one trip to India 17 years ago, Mother Teresa handed Mrs. McCain a newborn child born with a cleft lip -- surgery was the only thing that could save the baby’s life -- asking her to take the child to a hospital in the U.S.  Mrs. McCain, who says she could not part with the baby when she reached the U.S., told Senator McCain: “meet your new daughter.”  The beautiful young woman named Bridgette McCain stood beside her mother and siblings to introduce her father at the Republican National Convention. In 2004, Mrs. McCain suffered a stroke from high blood pressure.  Once fully recovered, she not only joined her husband’s campaign, Mrs. McCain went back to being an aid worker, joining mission’s teams around the world.  •    She travels with the World Food Program: in 2008, Mrs. McCain joined WFP on a trip to Rwanda to deliver food and medicine to famine victims.  •    2008: On the trip to Rwanda Mrs. McCain met a group called Women For Women International, an organization helping female survivors of war get educations, jobs, start businesses, receive counseling, rights, food, water, shelter, and medicine. Mrs. Obama is accused of helping to shut down a Colorado pickle factory in 2005, causing 150 Hispanic workers to lose their jobs. •    Mrs. McCain also works with Pour Un Sourire d’ Enfant (For a Smile of a Child) providing support and education to abused children in third world counties where the basics are not available without the help of volunteers like Cindy McCain who are willing to hike through the most unpleasant situations to help others.  Mrs. McCain is not just another pretty wife of a politician in designer clothes: Cindy McCain doesn’t just talk about lending a hand, she acts.  Michelle Obama talks about bringing “change,” Cindy McCain has, in reality, gone out into the world and made a profound change in thousands of lives for the greater good of mankind.  The Republican Convention gave the world a look into the real life of the real Cindy McCain: she is the true definition of feminism.  Between Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin women of America truly have two role models to look up to, admire, and aspire to be like. Lisa Richards is a lifelong Reagan Conservative Republican from Connecticut who believes in America's constitutional founding as a Constitutional Republic.

THE PRICE FOR FREEDOM

BY LISA RICHARDS

July 4, 2008

Too Many American’s today don’t realize what signing the Declaration of Independence entailed.  The greatest essay in American history fueled intense anger in King George and the British on U.S. shores.  Those men who signed the document were considered criminals.  The act itself was treason against the crown.

By 1775 Massachusetts was already embroiled in war.  Our forefathers wanted freedom from England; they wanted to be a separate nation and fighting for freedom was worth everything to a land of colonists held under tyranny.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee made a formal decree of independence.  James Madison, the author of the Constitution, asked Thomas Jefferson, a talented writer, to draw up a draft of a declaration of freedom from England. 

On June 28, 1776, Thomas Jefferson submitted to the delegates the draft that would forever change the face of this nation.  The delegates reviewed Thomas Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence, it was modified, and on July 2, 1776, Congress passed Lee’s motion for the document.  Two days later on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted.

The American people heard the document’s contents for the first time on July 8, 1776 in Independence Square, Philadelphia.  On August 2, 1776, the document was signed by 50 Americans who were taking a great risk against the King of England by putting their pens to a document considered treason.  Despite the act of treason against the crown, the men signed the Declaration and six more men would sign later on.

Next, the document would have to be read by all colonists throughout the land.  In order to accomplish this goal, riders hid the papers on their persons and rode through the colonies to deliver the document to towns where people heard their God given rights. 

By providence, those riders were not caught and the document was spread through the colonies.

On December 12, 1776, the British threatened the Congress.  Congress quickly adjourned, packed the important document up and sent it off to Maryland eight days later hidden in a wagon to stay there until March of 1777 when it was safe to return the Declaration to Philadelphia.  Again the document made it past enemy lines to safety.

In April of 1812, during the war, the document was moved from Washington to Virginia to protect it once again from the British who might get their hands on it and destroy our Declaration.

What many do not know is the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence knew with great despair what they had done: they committed treason and if any were caught by the British they would be hanged.

Still, this did not stop one, single signer from fighting for this nation.  Many donned the uniform of rebellion and fought the British and died in battle.  Others like William Pacca, a wealthy southerner, gave his money and sold whatever was necessary to the cause of the revolution he firmly believed in.  Other men did the same.  Those men became broke and destitute as a result. 

They gave their lives, their money, sold their land, their homes, property, and whatever they could to raise money to fight for freedom and create a country.

They did not do this for themselves; they did this for the future of the America they were fighting to create.

Those men who signed the Declaration and then the Constitution were willing to become criminals of the crown, poor, and even die so we might live free.

How many Americans today would do what the father’s of our country did?  How any would say: fighting for this nation in any way is worth it, even if it is writing something that wakes people up and makes them realize we do in fact have God given rights by birth that say all men are free, equal, and have rights to live so.

God Bless our great founders and all who fought and died for this country.

God Bless America; Have a blessed Fourth,
