Since the Democrats are accusing the Republicians of being against contraceptives perhaps the GOP should respond with the following: The current administration treats pregnancy as a preventable disease; that is to say “contraceptives“ are a “cure” to a disease that Employers must provide insurance against. Is there anything in Obamacare that that specifically prevents the government from saying when one may become pregnant? Or how many pregnancies the government will pay for? Or maybe not paying for a birth if the woman has had “too many” children? (or the child should be aborted due to deformity, or sex, or whatever) Thus the government forces a woman into choosing an abortion by paying for free abortions but not paying for live births?
Hello: I am a former resident of Santa Cruz (moved away in 1995) and now living in Oregon. I usually listen to talk radio on Online and saw K.S.C.O as part of the Tune In radio network. Had I known Charlie Freedman was on your station I would have listened sooner. I used to listen to him weekly on a local NPR station on Saturdays. I really enjoy his selection in music. We have someone similar in Grants Pass who plays the oldies, but he includes the 1950s music, which I don't care much about. Thanks, Monica Clark
Charlie is so eloquent and clever, I wish he could comprehend the difference between auto insurance and health insurance. On Monday October 8th during his program he compared shopping for health insurance for someone who has pre-existing conditions to shopping for auto insurance for someone who has multiple DUI's. Anyone who fails to see the flaw in this comparison obviously doesn't understand the meaning of the word "privilege". No human being was ever born with multiple traffic tickets. It will never happen. No human being ever contracted a DUI as if it were some sort of sickness before they became old enough to drive. Stop drawing comparisons between health and auto insurance, they are entirely different. I loose respect for Charlie whenever he brings it up. I would like to add that were it not for the reporting of Charlie Freedman and his colleagues I'd be far less informed. I do not agree with everything everyone says at KSCO, but I do listen daily. Thank you all very much.
Charlie, I am so glad you are back to your regular evening slot on KSCO. For awhile, it looked like you were going to be consigned to the mid-day graveyard and I was really bummed...because my long commute from Cupertino to Felton every day is made somewhat tolerable by listening to you. Even though I rarely agree with your political opinions (I'm a died in the wool Democrat), the fact that you actually LISTEN to opposing viewpoints and express your own in an intelligent, rational fashion, makes you well worth listtening to in spite of the political divide. And most of all, I love the music you play and it is enlightening and fascinating to hear your accompanying commentary. I have learned so much about music from the "Old Days" just from listening to you every day during my commute. Thanks again for a great show.
oYou stated that the evidence of MSNBC showing 15% news and Fox News 46%is news and the rest commentary and opinion shows that "liberals only watch what they want to hear." That statement is completely ridiculous! First of all, informed viewers can look at both cable "news" channels and know that the content for BOTH channels are cheer leading for the right or left, considering their prospective political leanings. That being said, that doesn't discount that those opinions stated on that overtly liberal channel MSNBC are false. I remember during the Bush administration that you could not hear one iota of negative press from Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Greta, Bill, or any other of the cheerleaders for torture, war, illegal eavesdropping, doing away with Habeus Corpus, etc. Charlie you also like to cite a overtly partisan web site Real Clear Politics for all of your news. Are you telling me that you don't read that web site because you don't want to read what you want to hear??
