Tuesday Update
Hi,
Hope you are weathering the heatwave okay. Must be “Global Warming”, huh? Right.
Some great guests coming up on the program this week. Today at 3pm 3rd District Congressman Gresham Barrett is on the phone to talk about the GOP’s attempt to force a vote in Congress on oil drilling. Then at 5pm, Dr. Jerome Corsi from World Net Daily is on to talk about his new book “The Obama Nation, Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality”. We’ll also get the latest from Dr. Corsi on the Gov’t. program allowing Mexican trucks on US highways.
Then later this week, Wednesday at 3pm Myrna Sokoff who is a writer and co Producer of the new movie “An American Carol” talks about the comedy directed by David Zucker (Airplane, Naked Gun, etc). They have made a film that attacks the liberal left with humor. With so many anti-war and anti-American films recently its refreshing to see that Hollywood actually has a conservative voice also. Then at 5pm David Freddoso a reporter for the National Review is on to talk about his new book “The Case Against Barack Obama”. Very thouroughly researched look into Obama’s connections to Chicago machine politics and the beginnings of Obama’s career in politics.
I’m also working on having Phyllis Schlafly on the show later this week to talk about a project she’s working on for the GOP Convention in Minnesota.
Yesterday in the last hour of the show I read a letter to the editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. I got a number of emails asking me to reprint it here. Happy to, so here you go..see you on the radio!
Best,

Beware Charismatic Men Who Preach ‘Change’
Editor, Times-Dispatch:
Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day and on July 4 I celebrate America’s. This year is special, because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.
On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.
I’ve thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.
When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said “Praise the Lord.” And when the young leader said, “I will be for change and I’ll bring you change,” everyone yelled, “Viva Fidel!”
But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner’s guns went silent the people’s guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans. And now I’m back to the beginning of my story.
Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?
Would we?
