Capitalism and the Campus – Coming to WMOX 6/16/11
Posted by: | Comments
On Thursday June 16 during the 8:20 am cdt segment John Allison will join us on The Morning Show. John is currently Distinguished Professor of Practice in the business school at Wake Forest University. Prior to joining the faculty, he was the Chairman of BBT from 1988 to 2009. Under his leadership, BBT grew from a very small bank in NC to one of the largest banks in the country. More importantly, did it the right way and were able to emerge from the financial crisis unscathed. (John’s bio)
At Wake Forest he is spreading the word about the power of capitalism and free markets on the campus. John passionately make the case that capitalism is not only the most efficient way to organize economic activity, but is morally justified since it respects and encourages the contributions and freedoms of the individual. One of works which has shaped John’s worldview is Ayn Rand’s classic Atlas Shrugged (early posts on it). In fact, while at BBT it was required reading for his senior management team. (Here are couple articles on him activites from Reuters and The New York Times)
During John’s time with us we will discuss the importance of teaching capitalism and the impact of Atlas Shrugged. Hopefully, we will have time to get into the financial crisis since John has in depth knowledge on how the industry really works.
To wet your appetite for the discussion, check out this segment on CNBC recently. Be sure to tune in to WMOX, 1010 AM in Meridian. If outside the area you can listen on WMOX’s streaming video link on my website.

The Sticky Note Campaign
Posted by: | Comments
Hope and Change Sticky Notes Coming To A Pump Near You Soon!
I’ve heard the low rumblings of a movement afoot within the Tea Party to start raising awareness of the failures and frankly the terrible successes of our President and his Administration. It is gaining some traction and it seems like an awesome idea.
It’s called The Sticky Note Campaign and though it started as an idea to present Conservative messages across the country at individual gas pumps is now expanding into grocery and retail stores such as these in Georgia. There are even photos of them posted in bathrooms and elevators!
The idea is absolute genius, low cost, non-destructive and really simple to do.
Here’s how:
- Get a large stack of yellow sticky notes
- Get a magic marker
- Get a roll of transparent tape (use only if necessary)
- Write short messages on the notes
- Post the notes on gas pumps whenever you buy gas
- Post the notes where ever, when ever you find higher prices
Here’s some of the best Sticky Note messages we’ve seen so far:
- How’s that Hopey Changey Thing Working For You? NOBAMA 2012
- Full Of Hope & Change With An Empty Tank! NOBAMA 2012
- Hope & Change At Work Here! High Prices – Thanks Obama.
- You’re Fired – NOBAMA 2012
- We cannot afford another four years of Obama
- OBAMA-NOMICS: The “change” I have left after paying other people’s bills.
- Higher Energy Prices – Thanks Obama – NOBAMA 2012
- Like These Prices? NOBAMA 2012
- Does Hope & Change Leave You Feeling Empty? NOBAMA 2012
- NOBAMA – Let’s not find out how much worse it could be.
A Facebook page has been setup to share photos and info for this grassroots activist campaign. Be sure to take photos of your notes and post them to your own Facebook page for your friends and relatives to see as well. That way, the notes can do double duty!
Here’s a couple of things to remember:
Do not write vulgar, racist or inappropriate messages on the notes. Do not put the notes where they will impede the use of any equipment or prevent a person from reading any necessary safety information or digital readouts. We are not union activists, so don’t confront anyone or seek to be disruptive in any way.
The Sticky Note Campaign is about having some fun and getting a message out to all those who are paying more for everything.
If you have some good ideas for messages or some pictures to send us, let us know.
John Stossel – Atlas Shrugged (01-07-2010)
Posted by: | CommentsThe movie “Atlas Shrugged” was released on April 15th, 2011. Here’s the trailer for the movie:
In conversations with lots of people, I’ve found a percentage of people who are aware of the book “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, but a much larger percentage of people know nothing about this book, its implications nor its impact some 50 years after it was written. In January, 2010, John Stossel focused on this book and explained a great deal about why the book continues to be a best-seller so long after its original publication.
Video – We Still Hold These Truths
Posted by: | Comments
The folks at the Heritage Foundation put together this great video, We Still Hold These Truths. It very well done and inspirational. No doubt folks in the Tea Party will watch and say this is why I believe what I do. The narrator Matt Spalding has been on WMOX for our on-going series, The Heritage Hour, a couple of times and is really good. He also has book by the same name.

NAACP Goes ‘Ugly’
Posted by: | Comments
It is glaringly evident the modern day NAACP has abandoned the vision and dream of the Civil Rights Movements of years ago to join the liberal ‘fear mongering’ horde of politicians suddenly ‘running scared’. Dr. King would be appalled.
In doing so, they shamelessly betray blacks by trying to convince them they are victims in America based on race. This graphically identifies the NAACP as the ones who are truly ‘racists’ and not the Tea Parties they are trying to disparage. The NAACP’s so-called documented report that the tea parties are racist is part of their desperate, panic appeal to get out the vote campaign. With only two weeks remaining before the predicted democrat debacle at the polls, democrats are frantically attempting to fire up their lethargic base since their appeal is sagging.
