Allen Hunt Show Video Monologues

The End of The Road

Allen Hunt — Fri, 13 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

It's been a great six years, and while the show will continue in a limited fashion on the website and on News/Talk WSB, tonight marks the end of the Allen Hunt Show nationally syndicated talk radio show. It's been a wonderful experienced that I was privileged to be a part of. What made it the best was you the listener and callers. So it is fitting for our last night, we are going to take calls about what the show meant, as well as play some of our favorites from over the year.... Read Entire Post

Was Waterboarding Justified?

Allen Hunt — Thu, 12 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

More details are coming about about how we got the information that ultimately lead to Bin Laden's death and as it turns out, waterboarding was a big part of that. I have stated, and Obama has stated, that waterboarding is torture and it is wrong. But now Obama seems to be basking in the glow of getting Bin Laden, yet at the same time failing to recognize his own hypocrisy.... Read Entire Post

End Of The World Just Around the Corner?

Allen Hunt — Thu, 12 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Harold Camping's group is still advocating that May 21, 2011 - 8 days from now - the world is coming to an end. Give me a break. I am not saying it isn't coming to an end on May 21st, but it is no more going to come to an end on May 21st as it is any other day. Mark my words, their is a high likelihood you and I can still have lunch together on the 22nd.... Read Entire Post

Do We Need A Sabbatical?

Allen Hunt — Wed, 11 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Sabbaticals used to be just for academic professors to take a year off so they could do research and publish a book (like they even did that though). But now it is becoming quite popular in this "Eat Pray Love," baby-boomer driven culture to claim one needs a year off work to "find themselves." Don't get me wrong, I'd love to take an entire year off from work - but seriously? This is just one more attempt of the most self-centered generation of all time - the baby boomers - to find a way to be even more lazy and self-centered.... Read Entire Post

The Pill Makes You Less Attractive

Allen Hunt — Wed, 11 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

New research is coming out that believe it or not the pill makes you less desirable to men. I kid you not. You got to love the irony in the situation. The pill was designed to bring freedom to women to have sexual relations as they saw fit, thus thinking it would increase sexual encounters, actually repels men.... Read Entire Post

Obama To Give Islam Reconciliation Speech

Allen Hunt — Wed, 11 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Newt Is Running For President

Allen Hunt — Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Newt will announce tomorrow that he is running for President of the United States of America. Give me a break. The same guy who led the campaign against Bill Clinton for getting a blow job in the Oval Office, has twice, TWICE, cheated on his wife, only to leave that wife and marry the mistress. The guy has no moral character and it is time for him to recede into a life of punditry.... Read Entire Post

Maria Shriver & Arnold Schwarzenegger Call It Quits

Allen Hunt — Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

It was announced today that Maria Shriver & Arnold Schwarzenegger are ending their 25-year marriage. Wow! And while the reasons haven't been officially released, many of her friends are stating that it is because he was a serial philanderer. But what I want to focus on is that "20-something" itch that appears to happen sometimes. What secrets do you have to make it over that hump?... Read Entire Post

Obama Gives Immigration Speech In El Paso

Allen Hunt — Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

You can tell Obama is back into campaign mode. Why? The tone of his speeches has tones more energy and it is on topics that he likes to talk about but do nothing on. Case in point: today's speech about immigration. With only 1,000 people showing up, Obama delivered a condescending speech about how Congress needs to do something about immigration....

Pilots Kick Muslims Off Plane

We had a couple of incidents recently where pilots took control of a situation and kicked Muslims off the plane.

Honey, You Have Cancer But I Am Leaving And Taking The Kids

Allen Hunt — Mon, 09 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Came across a horrendous story today about a man whose wife was diagnosed with cancer so he decides to leave. Ok, bad enough, but not all that uncommon. But then, not only does he move hundreds of miles away, but now he is fighting to take the kids with him. And the court agrees because, and I quote, watching their mother die is not a great environment for them. Are you kidding me?!? Watching their mother die - while tough - is the exact environment they need to be in.... Read Entire Post

Man Sentenced To Jail For Providing Sick With With Pot

A Michigan man was convicted of a felony and sentenced to jail for growing two pot plants in his backyard which provided his sick wife with relief from her pain. Are you kidding me?!? I have stated all along that I don't think pot should be illegal, but this is absurd. Prosecutors are allowed to exercise discretion in which cases they take and which they reject, and this one clearly should have been one they rejected.... Read Entire Post

Apache Tribe Offended Over Bin Laden Code Name

The Apache tribe is quite offended that the Navy Seals chose the code name Geronimo as Osama Bin Laden's code name. They are calling it a slap in the face to their ancestor.

Mother's day is coming up this weekend and while for many it is a happy, joyful time with the family, there are a good number of women out their that all it brings is pain. Maybe it is a divorce that took the kids away. Maybe it was never marrying or having kids. Maybe it is because biologically she can't have kids.

Bush Turns Down Obama's Request to Visit Ground Zero

Allen Hunt — Wed, 04 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Bush turned down President Obama's request to join him at Ground Zero to mark the death (and victory?) over Osama Bin Laden. But this shouldn't surprise anyone. Bush himself said that once he was out of office, he was going to let someone else be in the klieg lights. Frankly, I think it has been and continues to be on the most classy things about George W.

Sexless Marriage Could Cost Man $10 Million

Clues To Osama's Whereabouts Came From Waterboarding

Allen Hunt — Wed, 04 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

It is being reported that we found Osama in part from intelligence gathered from sources that were waterboarded.

To Release Or Not Release Osama's Photo?

The accolades didn't last long with Osama's death for President Obama. The new controversy: whether or not to release the photo of Osama's death. We are better than that America - and while I don't agree with the logic that releasing the photo would incite anymore violence than their already is - I do agree that we take the moral high ground. That is what separates us from the rest of the world. We do what is necessary, but we do not gloat.... Read Entire Post

MI Child Abuse Case

A man was sent to jail for 3rd degree child abuse for dealing with a troubled son because he pushed him into a wall. This isn't a child, but a teenager.

Immigrants The Secret To Revitalizing Detroit?

Allen Hunt — Tue, 03 May 2011 00:00:00 EST

Bloomberg made a comment that immigration is the key to revitalize Detroit. Really?!? Oh, you are telling me it is that simple. All Detroit needs is more people. Give me a break. If that were the solution to the problem, then 2 million people wouldn't have left the city. It doesn't work like that, and while I am all for more immigration into this country, it will not be the salvation of Detroit.... Read Entire Post

Osama Bin Laden Is Dead

We got him. Finally. Justice has been done for the acts of hatred and terrorism that took place almost 10 years ago. But there were quite the ethical questions that came out of how we killed him, as well as how we as Americans reacted to that killing. And in the end, do you feel any safer with Osama no longer being on this planet?... Read Entire Post

Osama's Death Is Not The End

Mom Choses Unborn Baby Over Herself

Jessica was diagnosed with cancer and her doctors advised her to start chemo right away. The only problem: she was pregnant and it meant certain death for her unborn baby. But even after they reached a "safe" point for the baby, she still refused chemo until she knew her baby would be fine. She died some months after the baby was born. Many are ripping her for her decision, but she lived, and died well.... Read Entire Post

Terry Jones Arrested For Speaking Freely

Was Spying On Tyler Clementi A Hate Crime?

The students charged with spying on Tyler Clementi are now being charged with a hate crime. A hate crime!?! I have said before, and will say it again, hate crimes are pointless charges. Things are either a crime or they aren't. But more so than most hate crime charges, this one is even more absurd. This wasn't a hate crime.

First it was that he wasn't going to wear a wedding ring. Now Prince William is debating asking Kate to sign a prenup. Given the horrendous marriage record within the Royal Family, I am sure most could see the logic behind that. But I say no. Marriage is a covenant, one that is meant to be a lifetime covenant. And when we set ourselves up for failure, we generally fail. And that is exactly what a prenup does.... Read Entire Post

Economy Is Recovering and Government Is Shutting Down

Allen Hunt — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 00:00:00 EST

Job numbers were released and they were good. Many are feeling much, much better about the economic outlook - despite still some problems in the housing industry. But at the same time, it is looking more and more like the government might be shutting down for a bit given Congress' inability to pass a budget. Am I the only one who thinks the government shutting down for a short time wouldn't be that bad of an idea?... Read Entire Post

Riots Break Out In Middle East Over Quran Burning

Allen Hunt — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 EST

Riots broke out in Afghanistan over the burning of one Koran by a pastor in Florida. People died in the riots. Yet for some reason the media wants to vilify the pastor as if he is the one that has done something wrong. What is going on in this world. I don't advocate Quran burning, but freedom of speech is a right that we stand by in the country. And frankly, murder is a crime. We have become a "battered-wife" country that is somehow justifying the violent actions of legitimately crazy people because of our actions. This needs to stop now.... Read Entire Post

Prince William Says No To Wedding Ring

Allen Hunt — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 EST

It was released this week that Prince William is not going to wear a wedding ring once he marries Kate later this month. While my Executive Producer Andy is right with him when he says he isn't a jewelry guy, I don't buy it. The wedding ring is an important symbol of the covenant one makes when they get married. If I were Kate - and lets be honest, I am not - I wouldn't be real happy about this decision.... Read Entire Post

Is Obama Re-electable?

Allen Hunt — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:00:00 EST

With his numbers at an all time low, many are asking the question is Barack Obama re-electable? While he will probably have more money than any presidential contender ever, if he's the only one with money (aka, the economy is still in the tank), it isn't going to matter. Obama needs to focus on the economy and on defending this country from the threat of Islam. If he can show that he has done that, he is going to be tough to beat. But I am not sure he has it in him.... Read Entire Post

Muslim Bullying Equates To A Hate Crime?

Allen Hunt — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

A trouble child was bullying a Muslim girl at school and is now being charged with a hate crime. A hate crime! Now I am not advocating for bullying, and that kid should be punished for sure. But a hate crime!?! First of all, there is no such thing as a hate crime. Crimes - all crimes - by definition are rooted in hate. So why are crimes against some groups of people considered more severe than others? It's absurd.... Read Entire Post

I Am Not Having Kids They Are Bad For The Environment

Allen Hunt — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

A woman released a book detailing why she isn't have kids because they are bad for the environment. Give me a break. We as humans are not that important. We are not that big of a deal. And frankly, having kids is one of the greatest things you can do with the small existence we have on this planet. The planet provides for us, not the other way around.... Read Entire Post

3rd Grade Illegal Immigration Quiz Controversy

Allen Hunt — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

A 3rd grade teacher in Atlanta, Georgia is in some hot water after the class took a quiz that included a question about what America does with illegal immigrants. One of the answers - albeit the wrong answer - was America puts illegal immigrants to death. Needless to say there are many within the community outraged. But it raises the question in my mind, how and when do you discuss political topics with your children.... Read Entire Post

BP Execs Might Get Charged With Manslaughter

Allen Hunt — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

It was released today that prosecutors are considering charging BP executives with manslaughter over their lack of action to prevent the deaths on the oil rig that exploded last Summer. It's hard to say it, but people make mistakes. And while I don't have all the evidence, I think it is a real scary precedent to start charging executives for accidents they probably had little or no direct control over.... Read Entire Post

The Woman's Man-Wish List

We've had some heavy topics recently and I came across an article about every woman's man-wish list.

And what might be missing that you really wish wasn't?... Read Entire Post

Abortion Billboards Get Put Up In Chicago

Allen Hunt — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

The controversial group that put up billboards in New York claiming that abortions are killing off a large portion of the black population are now at the heart of another controversy, this time in Chicago. And while everyone that seems to get quoted on the news appears to be against it, this group is right. Abortion is a problem in all communities - but especially in the black community. And frankly, it is hurting the black community the most.... Read Entire Post

Mom Of Dead Son Wants His Semen

A mother whose son died wants his semen so that she can have a surrogate carry his child / her grandchild. I get the grief that this woman is going through. I creating life is a noble thing. But this isn't right. Having a replacement baby to mask the pain she feels over the loss of her son isn't fair to her, her son, and most importantly the baby.... Read Entire Post

President Obama Addresses The Country About Libya

Allen Hunt — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

President Obama spoke just an hour ago about our mission in Libya. And while I think every Republican out there is lambasting him for the speech, I have to say I thought it was pretty good. Other than his inability to see how this is remarkably similar to Iraq - and that's a good thing - he stood up proudly for the ideals and values that separates America from the rest of the world....

Supreme Court All But Guarantees Davis' Death

Allen Hunt — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

It is a sad day to be a Georgian and American. Today the Supreme Court of the United States all but sealed the fate of Troy Anthony Davis. A man convicted of murder and sentenced to death all based on conflicting eye-witness testimony and not much evidence beyond that. I have said it before, the death penalty in all cases is wrong, but in this case it is all the more wrong. It's sick.... Read Entire Post

Son Taken From Parents After Given Alcohol

Allen Hunt — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

A son was taken by CPS in Michigan after his father mistakingly gave him Mike's Hard Lemonade at a Detroit Tigers game. Give me a break. Even if it wasn't an honest mistake, the government should not be taking kids out of perfectly fine homes with loving parents even if the parents decide their kid is old enough and mature enough to consume a small amount of alcohol. Hate to break to to Detroit CPS but it is quite common in Europe for parents to give alcohol to their kids - and their kids aren't wasting away to nothing in front of them.... Read Entire Post

I Am In Love With My Dad

Allen Hunt — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

An Irish man reunited with his long lost daughter who lives in Texas. Sweet story right. Every one loves a happy reunion. Wrong. They have since "fallen in love" and she is now carrying his baby. So that would make her son, her brother as well. It's like that old song, "I am my own Grandpa." While this is just covered in wrong sauce, I fail to see how societally speaking it is any more wrong than any other deviation from a traditional man and woman marriage.... Read Entire Post

What Has Brown Done For America?

You might be asking, what has Brown done for America? Simple: saved our behind.

Hispanics are the only ones having kids anymore, and the family structure is the backbone of a country.... Read Entire Post

I Want My Baby Back

I want my baby back... and no I don't mean Chili's Baby Back Ribs. A woman in New York put her child up for adoption and signed the termination of parental rights agreement.

Who Exactly Are We Defending In Libya?

Larger questions about our involvement with Libya surfaced today as Al Qaeda came out in support of th opposition forces. So... Al Qaeda thinks America is the Great Satan, but we both agree Gaddafi is a problem. This has the likings of turning into Afghanistan circa 1980 when in order to defeat one enemy (the Russians) we in fact in-powered a larger enemy (The Taliban and Al Qaeda). Barack Obama is right to defend those needed defending, but he better get the plan straight.... Read Entire Post

The Wall Street Journal has had a very interesting article - given the genre of the publication - as one of it's top viewed stories for over a week now on the problem of "teen girls dressing too sexy." If you have raised teenagers in the last 20 years, I am sure you know what the struggle of allowing your teen girl to grow into a healthy woman, yet at the same time, not allowing her to fall into the peer pressure of becoming a woman too soon....

Too Many Illegals In Public School

A Arizona lawmaker read a letter from a substitute teacher talking about the problems with illegals in the public school. Are you kidding me? First of all, I am not looking for education and immigration policy from a substitute teacher. Second of all, I am proud that this country has decided on more than one occasion and at the highest level that we will provide education to all students - whether here legally or illegally. It's called human dignity.... Read Entire Post

Take A Social Issues Break In 2012?

Allen Hunt — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

Mitch Daniels is asking the question should conservative take a break from the social issues debate for the upcoming 2012 election and just focus on the economy. And while I can see where he is coming from, that is a dangerous statement to make. Put another way, he is asking us to stop asking the questions that are key to our character and morals of a country - regardless of the side - in order to make sure we can make and have money. I think that is the dangerous and alluring statement the Bible refers to when it says money is the root of all evil.... Read Entire Post

What Is Our Purpose In Libya?

Allen Hunt — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

One of the key Augustinian concepts of "Just War" is that there is a reasonable chance of success. I am concerned with the leadership I have heard over the past couple of days that we don't have a plan or a purpose in Libya, and therefore I do not see how we can succeed. So while I defend our actions in Libya, we better get a plan put together and know just what we are doing over there. Or this very much will turn bad, quickly! ... Read Entire Post

Many are trying to associate Libya to Iraq as if that is a bad thing. And while those who support the Libya actions quickly try to defend our involvement saying it is nothing like Iraq. I have to say, no it is like Iraq, and frankly, that's a good.

Most Americans Fail The Citizenship Test

Most Americans would fail the US citizenship test. With questions like who is the Vice President, and what are the Bill of Rights, many find this failure to be embarrassing and quite anti-American. But I don't care if you know who Biden is or not, the truth of the matter is you cannot grow up in the country and have a reasonable understanding of basic rights afforded to Americans and the role of government. So quite frankly, I really don't see that much of a problem in this reality.... Read Entire Post

In a great documentary about the Fab Five, Jalen Rose is quoted as calling black players at Duke - particularly Grant Hill - all Uncle Tom's. Most within the black community would admit that Uncle Tom is worse of an insult than the N-word. Grant Hill wrote a great piece in response that published in the New York Times. But amidst all this there some key thoughts. 1.) Since when is having two parents who love and provide for you a bad thing? 2.) Is this not really more a question of social class than it is race?...

I read an article in the Washington Post today about how candidates aren't very sincer as they all claim to believe in the Bible, but clearly don't believe in it's principles. And then the writer paints all Christians as people who believe the earth was only created in 6 days and whole bunch of other things that proves he obviously has no understand of real Christian theology. This is the problem when the media authorizes people to write about religion who only know what they read and hear from other news media and stereotypes.... Read Entire Post

Ok, it isn't anymore anti-gay than it is anti-porn, anti-adultery, anti-bestiality, anti-anything-that-isn't-sex-in-a-marriage. That's it folks. This whole world does not revolve around gays....
