Podcast 18 – Political Un-correctness and other Unpatriotic Thought Crimes
This week is a total downer. Rich and I talk about the new Department of Homeland Security Report. With the broadest of strokes the DHS has attempted to paint all conservative American citizens as whacked out right-wing extremists. As you know there are whack jobs in every corner of the world, but this report crosses the line by associating their unorthodox views with the majority of good American citizens. Not cool. This is an assault on freedom of speech and ultimately an assault on the freedom of thought in the US. We are hoping for better things from America.

Bombing and clinics is not a joking matter… just try saying that in an airport.
WOW! Excellent topic. It applies to the bible and Jesus more than you might think. Richard, please explain to Ken how I felt about it. Keep ‘em coming gentlemen.
Whoa! I remember that tour with Steve Taylor. I remember him throwing the water balloons like grenades. The result of that, of course, was that millions of impressionable youth went out and bought hand grenades at their local gun store and blew up everyone they disagreed with. Or maybe not. But they could have. So clearly Mr. Taylor is a Menace to Society!
Excellent stuff. Thanks.
