Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Welcome back, everybody, my friends, to the second hour of tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Saturday evening, August 21st, it is, as we broadcast to you from AM 1380, WLRM Radio, in Memphis, Tennessee, our flagship station, but by no means our only affiliate station.
Thanks to the Liberty News Radio Network and their AM affiliate stations across the country, to the internet stream where we simulcast at thepolitical cesspool.org, LibertyNewsRadio.com, and all the other great ways you can tune into our award-winning broadcast.
Thank you for being here with us.
I want to thank, as always, Keith Alexander, for backing me up during that first hour and his service as co-host, Winston Smith will be joining me in a few minutes.
And we've got a lot more prepared for you this evening.
But first, I want to remind you, as I did at the top of the show, that our blog comment feature is now in working order.
Our radio show website is now welcoming up to 10,000 unique visitors per day.
And as a result of this remarkable rise in traffic, our website has enjoyed.
We have been in the midst of upgrading some features that will make our internet headquarters more user-friendly.
One of these upgrades includes the evolution of the leave a comment feature at the bottom of each blog posting, which has been overhauled and it's now in working order.
So we invite you to take advantage of that.
Take advantage of the opportunity to join our discussion of the issues with other political cesspool fans from around the world.
Simply go to thepolitical cesspool.org, scroll to the bottom of your favorite articles, and let your opinions be known.
Solutions do present themselves from the exchange of ideas and information.
Do your part by sharing your thoughts at our blog.
We look forward to the debate.
We'll see you there, thepolitical cesspool.org.
Now, much has been made by us and by many others in the media about all of the press attention that this show has garnered over the course of the summer.
We made a fleeting reference to it, in fact, again, during the first hour.
At the end of the day, the worst that we've ever been subjected to is name-calling.
And for whatever reason, there seem to be men out there, and Paul Babue, just one example, the sheriff in Pinal County, Arizona, who seem to be paralyzed over the fact that people who oppose his positions to begin with might call him a bad name.
Well, in researching information about the Freudian attack that really sums up the kind of MO employed by the SBLC and the ADL, I found a commentary that I think hits it dead on.
And I'd like to share it with you because, as Sun Tzu said, know the enemy know thyself in a thousand battles, a thousand victories.
And to that end, the German strategist, Von Clausewitz, described war as politics by other means.
I believe the inverse is true as well.
Politics is simply war by other means.
And this is why I'm somewhat annoyed at people who object to negativity and mudslinging in politics as fighting with words and going home to sleep in peace is much preferable to a physical fight to the finish.
And since negative ads are the only ones with any real content, the public is generally not interested in a dispassionate analysis of the issues.
They're the only chance to work out serious issues before things get to the physical fighting stage.
Most people don't realize the nature of the war of ideas in the culture, especially conservatives who are always trying to apologize for who they are in hopes of gaining approval from their sworn enemies.
What they don't realize is that the left has a playbook for defense, an escalation strategy depending on how hard you hit them.
I wrote about this in my book.
In fact, my book is dedicated to this very theme.
I encourage you to order it today at thepoliticalcesspool.org, but I was referring to the escalation strategy that the left employs for dissidents of the regime.
And these escalating strategies are summarized in order here.
Number one, they'll use the religious nut attack.
Number two, they will use the Freudian attack.
I'm going to get into a breakdown of each of these in just a moment.
Number three is the Xist or the XIC attack, where X is a variable depending on the offense, whether it's racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or any other choice liberal charge.
And finally, their biggest gun.
You've got to be really, really effective.
You've got to be a really effective spokesman in order to get to the fourth level of the liberal escalation.
For them to use their fourth and final attack, you've got to be someone on the level of the political cesspool, and that is the Nazi attack.
Now, all things being equal, the religious nut attack, which is number one, is their favorite, as the left has a contempt for traditional religion, and they simply dismiss you as an idiot.
Most of the time, this happens to hapless Christians who don't understand the Lord's admonition to not throw pearls before swine.
If instead of quoting the Bible, one focuses on leftist behavior, they bring out the old standby, the Freudian attack.
This attack was conceptually underpinned by the great pseudo-scientist Sigmund Freud and perfected by the cultural Marxists of the Frankfurt School, who were, of course, kicked out of Germany in the 1930s for their culturally destructive theories, which explains their obsession with Nazism.
In their famous studies on the authoritarian personality, that is TAP, the TAP studies were essentially rigged experiments whose inevitable conclusions were that religious families with strong father figures are the building blocks of fascism.
And as I've explained before, this is why father figures, especially white male father figures, are hardly ever portrayed in a positive light by the liberal elites who run Hollywood and television.
They literally think that such a portrayal will lead to fascism, which in their mind is just conservative government and society based on traditional families, which would be bad for people who make their living degrading such culture.
It's kind of a catch-22 mentality for them.
They believe that they have to degrade the culture to prevent fascism, but it is their degrading of the culture that makes the fascist scenario so dangerous for people in their position.
But I digress.
The Frankfurt School, through the debunked authoritarian personality studies, essentially described conservatism and traditional family life as a mental illness.
In the Freudian mythology, when conservatives get angry with leftist behavior, as I do, it's because they are sexually repressed.
Seriously, that's the essence of the Freudian attack.
Circular reasoning that says liberalism is correct, and any objection to liberalism is mental illness.
And in the Freudian mythology, mental illness is caused by sexual repression, the details of which could only be dreamed up in Freud's sick mind and are not suitable for this, a family radio program.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, I have been subjected to more of these attacks than I could possibly count at this time.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the leading hate groups, one of the leading anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-American hate groups in existence today, used me as the centerpiece of no less than three hit pieces last week alone.
This is a radio show, as I mentioned in the first hour.
We survive off of listener donations, most of which come in at $25 is about our typical donation.
$100 is a big donation for us.
Our budget is a couple of hundred dollars, you know, a few hundred dollars a month, literally.
And of that, we pay taxes.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has, according to published reports, between $175 and $300 million in the bank.
And yet still, we are their public enemy, number one, because we do not back down.
And these are the attacks that they subject us to.
The religious nut attack, we've been called that.
The Freudian attack, where they say we're sexually repressed and that we're, you know, there's something, you know, something, we got a few screws loose because we're traditional conservatives.
We've been called racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, all of that.
And, of course, we've been called Nazis.
None of those, by the way, none of those attacks hold water if you let our words speak for themselves.
I'm going to get into more of this.
I'm going to hold up right there because we got a break coming up.
But what I'm doing here, ladies and gentlemen, trying to do in two parts is break down for you to the bare essentials the kind of attacks that people like me and people like you are subjected to.
And, you know, we're getting in a little bit to what motivates these attacks.
But at the end of the day, this is all they can do to us.
Call us a religious nut.
You know, attack us with the pseudoscience of Freud.
Call us a racist.
Call us homophobic.
Call us whatever.
That's all they can do.
And unfortunately, just by doing that, it absolutely imprisons so many, literally millions of our people.
My book is The Kryptonite.
This radio show is the prescription.
Folks, help us spread the word.
We're going to get into more of the nuts and bolts of this on the other side right after this commercial break.
I'm James Edwards.
You're listening to The Political Cesspool, and I'll be back with more right after this.
Jump in, The Political Cesspool, with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
Thank you, Art Frith.
That is our producer, Art Frith, who, by the way, sent me a little, actually called me while I was on the air to tell me to make Keith get a little closer to the mic.
I did get the message, Art.
I was on the air.
I appreciate it, Chief.
He's no longer with us here in Memphis, but still does production work for us through his retirement up in Michigan.
But anyway, getting back to where we were before the break, I Well, of course, sharing with you that being a public figure and being the host of such a well-known radio program, I am subjected to all sorts of pretty horrific attacks.
But at the end of the day, they are just verbal attacks.
And how verbal attacks from people who have never supported my mission to begin with can cause so many conservative activists to withdraw from the field of battle in this culture war, to me, is baffling.
And now I'm trying to break down the four different kinds of attacks that the left will use on conservative activists, whether they're well-known conservative activists or just people who speak out in their local community.
And I'm reading, you know, almost verbatim from a blog entry that I posted earlier this week.
I found this excellent article when researching the kind of attacks that the left engages in.
And the author of the piece broke it down into four simple levels.
The first level, they use the religious nut attack.
And the second level, if you don't quote the Bible, but you focus on leftist behavior in general, they bring out the good old standby, which is the Freudian attack.
We're just getting in to the third level of their attack, which is the exic or the ex-ist attack, which again, X, depending on the variable of the offense, is either racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, so on and so forth.
So, getting to the third level of the leftist attack, if you annoy them all the way up to the third level, if instead of being angry, a conservative actually points out facts that are uncomfortable to the left, they bring out the racist or the xenophobic, or you insert your choice word there.
They bring out that attack.
As Rush Limbaugh once defined the term, a bigot, and this is actually one time when Rush was right and didn't pull a punch, but a bigot is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.
This attack is also based on circular reasoning, of course, the Marxist mythology of absolute human equality.
When this postulate of the left disagrees with reality, as it often does, they are forced to bring out various conspiracy theories like racism and sexism to explain the diversity of outcomes for various groups.
Since many issues are linked to the essential nature of man or the different varieties of man, there being no abstract universal man,
and the nature of each man or woman is tied intimately to genetics and gender, conservatives who make arguments based on reality will brush up against the equality mythology quite often in a way that makes the left uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, most conservatives are double-minded about this issue, as you well know, and try to make reality-based arguments while still mouthing the equality faith, at least publicly.
Are you following me here, ladies and gentlemen?
However, reality and non-equality are so intimately linked that liberals will make the connection for them and then proceed to call them a nasty name of the racist or xenophobic variety.
Conservatives, always wanting to please liberals for reasons unbeknownst to me, quickly repent of their sins against the equality cult and say stupid things that undermine their own arguments and to please the liberal and avoid the dreaded the dreaded racist label.
Now, how many times have you seen that?
How many times have you seen that?
Almost on a daily basis, I see it.
And I tell you this, there is nothing that makes me special.
What I have done through the support of my listening audience and with the help of those on my staff, what we have done together is something that anybody could do.
You know, I just don't apologize for exercising my freedom of speech.
I don't apologize for not being ashamed of my ancestors.
I don't apologize for being, in fact, proud of them and their accomplishments and what they contributed to civilization, particularly Western civilization.
And because I do so in a very public way, I get all these attacks.
I get the religious nut attack because this is a Christian radio program.
We get that.
We get the Freudian attack.
We get the racist attack.
But what happens?
What happens to conservatives like us who don't repent?
What happens to those who have the courage to make reality-based arguments and resist the racist attacks, you know, the name-calling attacks that so often befall us?
Liberals call people like us Nazis.
You see, anyone who refuses to confess the equality creed is figuratively burned at the stake as a heretic.
And in our degraded culture, the only real sin is intolerance.
And that's what Hutton Gibson said last week.
The only real sin that we can have anymore is intolerance.
And so heretics get smeared with the worst curse word little liberal minds can dream of in their rather limited moral system.
And that is the charge of being a Nazi or a neo-Nazi.
Never mind that Hitler was really small time compared to the hundreds of millions murdered in the name of the liberal equality creed through Mao, Stalin, Paul Pott, and Roe.
Roe versus Wade.
You know, in their moral system, though, Nazism is it, the polar axis of evil to which all others must be compared.
But at the end of the day, that's it.
Folks, that is it.
They're going to call you a racist.
They're going to call you a Nazi.
They're going to call you a Christian fanatic.
Or they're going to use the Freudian attack and say there's something wrong.
You know, there's something wrong with your mind.
You know, so what?
Is that the worst they can do?
I mean, you know, how many of us have ancestors that fought in the war in defense of this country?
I know I did.
You know, and that price, as we've said so many times before, the sacrifice of blood and bone that they have given that have allowed us to enjoy this country, to enjoy the American experiment for so long, you know, the least we can do to honor their sacrifice is to speak out.
And if you can't speak out for whatever reason, support those who do speak out on your behalf.
And folks, let me tell you something.
I mean, for whatever reason, there are not many organizations like that in existence today.
The political cesspool, in my opinion, is one of them.
I ask you to support the organizations who are not only speaking out, but literally fighting on your behalf.
Folks, I wouldn't ask for your support if we didn't need it.
We need it.
We've got to have it, or we can't continue.
And if you appreciate this show, you appreciate the truth that you get every single week like clockwork from this program, you appreciate the way we break down the issues and stick it to the liberals, how we stick it to the neoconservatives, how we get all of this media attention on behalf of our issues, and we never back down.
Folks, we need your support.
I'm asking for your support tonight.
You can give it by going to thepoliticalspool.org, even if it's just an email of moral support.
I know how hard it is to make money, to make a living.
I've got a family.
We pay taxes.
It's a struggle.
And, you know, I still think it's important enough that we produce this radio program.
We're going to be here for a long time to come, many years to come.
God willing, as long as we have your support.
If you want to support us tonight, go to thepolitical cesspool.org.
There, you can make a safe and secure donation.
You can buy my book, proceeds of which, of course, benefit our work here.
And read my blog.
Comment on the blog.
Stand with us, and we're going to continue to fight for you.
We've got more coming right after this.
We'll be back right after these messages.
On the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
We gotta get out of this place.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, shifting gears here now to another subject.
We spent the first half hour of this, our second hour, talking about the different kinds of attacks that the cultural Marxists are going to inflict upon you for speaking out in defense of our cultural heritage.
If you enjoyed that segment, you can read along with most of the commentary that I was using by going to our website, thepoliticals, pool.org.
Shifting gears now, Winston Smith joins me, co-host Winston Smith of the Political Assess Pool now with me to talk about a couple of things also in the news over the course of the last week.
You know, it was interesting because Winston called me last week immediately after the show to talk about a certain matter.
And I had just gotten word of it via text message while we were on the show and little to his knowledge.
But Winston, what was that great, I say great, great's not the word.
What was that despicable and repulsive headline that you and I both kind of left us both speechless, I guess.
It came out in the news, James, that a while back I had loaned you 10 bucks and you never paid me back.
That's true.
That wasn't it at all.
10 bucks is a lot of money to me.
He does owe me $10, but we're going to talk about that later.
He made me pay for the book.
He wouldn't knock off $10 off the price.
Just the kind of man James Edwards is.
That's right.
All right.
Folks, back on a serious note, the headline that grabbed my attention said something like, Neil Patrick Harris and partner expecting twins.
We're super excited, the couple says.
Of course, James, when I brought that up to you, you had told me that you'd been receiving some messages about that, and we were both thoroughly nauseated by the thing, as any normal person should be.
Well, you know, no, I saw that.
And of course, if anybody doesn't know, Neil Patrick Harris, aka Doogie Hauser.
Doogie Hauser.
All right.
But now he's come back.
And of course, now that he's an outspoken sodomite, he's like Hollywood gold.
He's hosting the Academy Awards and he's a singer and a dancer.
And he's on all these great hidden shows now.
He's like a hot commodity in Hollywood because he's an outspoken sodomite.
And so, you know, all of the Hollywood gossip tabloids who were ravaging Hutton Gibson just days prior for speaking out as a traditional Christian on our radio program, they were just, you know, fawning all over Neil Patrick Harris and his so-called boyfriend or, you know, pretend husband or whatever he is, you know, as if this isn't despicable, as if it's not morally reprehensible.
They were, you know, congratulating this, you know, couple of homosexuals for inflicting their warped lifestyle on children who they are expecting through a surrogate mother.
So they're going to be adopting kids, basically, is the story.
And that's sick enough as it is.
And I hate that for the children.
But this is something that not only is acceptable in the media.
I still think most Americans are with us on this.
In fact, I know they are according to all of these statewide referendums.
Even in California, they vote down homosexual marriage.
But in the media's eyes, not only is it acceptable, it is celebrated.
Not only celebrated, but they expect that it should be supported.
They want decent people to support this kind of activity.
James, there are a couple of things that gall me about this.
First of all, is the forced association here.
They are using words that are usually reserved for a normal family, for a correct, a righteous family, if you will.
A man and a woman having a child.
They're using words like they are expecting twins and the fathers to be and things like that.
And what they are doing is something that I have harped about for at least six years on the political cesspool, is they are degrading the language.
Well, first of all, as I said, they are forcing this association.
They want to be equal to those of us who are normal.
And the fact is they will never be equal except via tortured and strained definitions of words.
And that's the other thing that galls me about this, just what they are doing to our language.
They are applying these beloved terms of family to a couple of fags for crying out loud.
Guys who have sex with each other.
But the biggest corruption of language in this whole thing, James, is the corruption of the word family.
And this is an example of what happens when something is abstracted.
Now, what do I mean by abstracted or abstraction?
Abstraction occurs when an institution, a cultural more, or something concrete is generalized away from its original form.
The great Christian thinker C.S. Lewis gave us a superb example of this by way of the word gentleman.
Before the 20th century, James, a gentleman was a man who owned land and had a particular income.
When you called a man a gentleman, you weren't complimenting him.
You were simply stating a fact.
In time, people who had neither land nor much of an income began to define a gentleman in terms of behavior.
They believed a gentleman should be defined as someone who behaves a certain way, someone who displayed gentlemanly behavior.
Thus, even a poor schmuck, much like yourself, James, could be called a perfect gentleman.
Now, this is what has happened to the word family.
Until not too long ago, when you spoke of a family, you were stating a fact.
A group of people who shared kinship by blood as a result of marriages between men and women.
But Marxists began describing a family as people who love one another, people who care for each other.
They began using these sappy, heartstring greeting card words to describe a family.
And it took away from the real version, the real definition of a family.
People connected by blood through marriage of men and women.
So in this way, fags like Neil Patrick Harris and his little, well, I'm not going to use the word I want to use, but you get the idea.
His buddy there, they are taking the word family and forcing something upon it that it does not mean at all.
And the bad thing is, so many Americans are buying it.
They're just using the same words without demanding that it's offensive.
It is offensive.
For these people to say they are having a family is offensive.
It is an affront in every way.
It's an affront to the language, and it's an affront to morality.
What they're doing is not establishing a family unless you want to prefix the word family with Franken.
They are making a Franken family.
It's a monstrosity.
It's something that should not even be associated with a real family.
But James, that's what they want to do.
They're forcing this association upon us, whether we want it or not.
They are forcing us into the same mold as they are in.
And I object to that.
Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, they are perverts.
They are deviants.
They are abominations.
And they are not like us, James.
They can scream all they want is equality, all they want.
But the fact is they will never, never, ever, in a gazillion years be equal to us.
They are not like us.
At least not in God's eyes.
And I'm going to stand with God on this one.
Now, you know, another thing, and I want to get off the very small story involving Neil Patrick Harris and move on to a broader issue associated with this.
But there was two things that I want to hit on this before we leave it.
And that is, number one, they said, they announced this via their official, Neil Patrick Harris announced this via his official Twitter account.
So he made it public.
And then in one sentence, he said, you know, blah, blah, blah, we're expecting twins.
And then in the second one, we would appreciate if the press would respect our privacy.
All right, so if that's not contradictory, I don't know what is.
But Winston, we've only got 30 seconds to break.
I'm going to give you the final word on this.
We've got to move into a broader topic.
But you said it, and obviously he proved that you're right.
They wanted to make this as a political statement.
It is a political statement.
It's not a family.
It's a political alliance.
And the last thing I want to say about it, James, is this.
If it's okay for these two guys to marry and to have children, call themselves a family, why can't NAMLA members, North American Man-Boy Love Association, why can't they have the same rights as these people?
After all, they can make them...
I've got to tell you, we're going to break, but I've got to tell you, that's probably next.
I mean, that is probably next in the leftist egalitarian movement.
That is probably the next level of ascension after this, after they finish routing us on homosexual marriage.
We're going to talk about that.
Will gay marriage lead to a new American revolution?
Some conservatives think so.
I don't.
We'll talk about it.
We got to get out of this place.
If it's the last thing we ever do, we got to get out of this place.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
Welcome back to the show.
I got an exciting third hour planned for you tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
So stay tuned for that.
It's coming up right after the conclusion of this, our present segment.
Winston, I'm sitting here at the computer right now.
I just got an email in from the Chief Art Frith, who was tuned in tonight from Michigan, and he says, hello to you.
I miss that, man.
It was so great sitting in the WLRM studios and him on the other side of the glass, teaching us all how to be radio guys.
I doff my hat to Chief Art Frith.
I miss you, brother.
I hope you're enjoying yourself there in Michigan.
You deserve it.
I couldn't say it better myself.
And hello to Art again.
It's been tuned in and corresponding the entire program.
But we were talking about Neil Patrick Harris and his little stunt of last week in the previous segment.
And it leads me to a broader conversation.
The question to be asked is, will so-called gay marriage lead to a new American revolution?
If the Supreme Court mandates gay, quote-unquote, marriage in all 50 states, and more like when, not if, if previous trends are any indicator, will it cause the American people to say enough is enough and revolt?
Well, I'm very skeptical about that.
I think people will get used to this latest politically correct monstrosity and destruction of liberties in the name of so-called civil rights because they don't want to be called haters.
A lot of mainstream conservatives disagree with me.
That's not unusual.
And think gay marriage will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Well, we'll see about that, but I'm quoting now directly from townhall.com, which is a pretty nationally well-known conservative mouthpiece.
And they think this is it.
They think that if the Supreme Court mandates homosexual marriage in all 50 states, that that's going to be when all the conservatives, not take up arms, but I mean, really get out on the streets and start hooping and hollering and marching and doing all the things that we would associate with the so-called civil rights area.
You know, they're going to get out and start really taking to the streets and really demanding that their voices be heard and that we take this country back, you know, culturally and politically speaking.
They think this is going to be it.
You know, it didn't happen with all of the other, you know, unconstitutional, you know, judicial rulings from the bench, you know, all of this legislating from the bench that has been going on since Brown versus Board.
You know, it never happened before, but it's going to happen now.
And my thing before I toss it over to you is this, Winston, and we've said it time and time again.
You know, you can thank Martin Luther King and his crusade to make it illegal to recognize important distinctions between human beings for this.
Had the courts never thrown out laws against interracial marriage, we would not be even having this discussion.
That's when the precedent was set back in the 50s and 60s.
You know, our parents and grandparents were against that kind of stuff, and rightfully so.
You know, but today's conservatives, the same conservatives that you'll read at townhall.com who say that, you know, this gay marriage thing is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, they think it's perfectly okay for these judges to rule from the bench that miscegenation was wrong, or for these judges to rule from the bench that this, that, and the other was the wrong.
All of that's okay.
This one, you know, none of it's okay.
Either it's all okay or none of it's okay.
Either judicial review and legislating from the bench is always okay or it's never okay.
You can't say it's okay in this situation, but not here.
And I don't think that conservatives are going to do anything because they haven't done anything, well, since I've been alive, what do you think, Winston?
I agree with you, James.
The history of conservatism has been outlined perfectly by Robert Louis Dabney.
And he pointed out, I won't go through the whole thing that he wrote, it's quite long.
But if you can get a hold of Robert Lewis Dabney on conservatism, just Google it.
You'll find it.
It's a classic essay, and it outlines the problem perfectly.
But the real problem is summed up better by Alexander Polk, who's one of our 18th or 19th century British authors.
He summed up our malady this way.
Vice is a monster of so frightful mean as to be hated needs but to be seen.
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, we first endure, then pity, then embrace.
And that's exactly what has happened to conservatism.
That's exactly what has happened to America all along.
We see these monstrosities taking place, and at first we are abhorred by them, and then we start feeling sorry for the degenerates who practice such things, and then we embrace them.
We start supporting them.
And like you, James, I just don't see any conservative movement rising up in opposition to this because we're just not genetically wired to do that.
But also because if we were, we're not going to take to the streets against this because we're afraid of losing our jobs.
We're afraid of being called nasty names.
We're afraid our churches are going to excommunicate us.
And believe me, folks, people, I started counting the friends of mine who have been excommunicated from churches for their racial views.
And I have one friend, one friend only, who has not been executed for simply believing that there are racial distinctions that we should pay attention to.
All my friends have been excommunicated from their churches just for saying the races are different.
That goes against theological dogma today.
But no, James, I don't see people, I don't see a conservative revolution at all.
I see in 15 years shows like James Dobson's and all these Judeo-Christians saying things like, I remember back before the 2010, how our homosexual friends were ostracized and how they were called bad names.
But we've gotten beyond.
Yeah, no, I can totally see that happening because if history repeats itself, as it often does, well, that's exactly what did happen before.
Many of the churches were against a lot of the aspects of the civil rights, so-called civil rights movement, and now they're all for it.
That's something that we take issue with quite a bit on this radio program.
But the fact of the matter must remain this.
Wherever you stand on this issue, if you've got any decency and any respect for the rule of law, you must say that it is wrong when the entire voting public of a state can go to the ballot box and vote on a constitutional referendum, a state constitutional referendum, as we did in Tennessee, as they've done in California, and vote overwhelmingly that so-called homosexual marriage is illegal.
And then, in the case of Judge Walker, an admitted homosexual, an admitted homosexual, you know, for him and him alone to be able to write a ruling that completely does away with the will of the people of a state and the state constitution, one man alone to have that power as a judge is obviously not the way that the founding fathers intended for this nation to be ruled.
I mean, it is absolutely, I mean, if that's the case, you know, why do we even bother to elect representatives to stand up and advance our issues in the state legislatures or in federal government?
Why do we even send anyone anywhere?
Why do we even vote?
Why not just let the judges decide everything?
Because that's what's happening.
Ultimately, that's what's happening.
That's what's happening with any number of the most important issues of the day.
Two, this summer alone with Judge Walker, who, by the way, was a George W. Bush appointee, and with the homosexual marriage ruling.
And then even before that, with Susan Bolton, Judge Bolton, you know, doing away with Arizona's SB 1070, which was overwhelmingly supported by the voting public and overwhelmingly supported by the state government.
So you got two judges there single-handedly ruling on an issue and in doing so completely overturning the will of the elected officials and the will of the voting public.
That, Winston, is not America.
And you got about 10 seconds.
Our friend Patrick Buchanan said that federal judges, I think he said Supreme Court judges, but I think all federal judges should be subjected to reconfirmation every so often, like every six years or so.
Well, that's right.
And unfortunately, we failed in our attempts to elect Pat Buchanan on three different occasions.
But he certainly has the right viewpoint on these issues.
And Winston, thanks for coming in tonight for a half hour and helping us navigate through a couple of issues that I'm sure are important to our listening audience.
Always a pleasure.
Love you, Chief Britt.
Love you, James.
Thank you, buddy.
Love y'all too.
We have a great fellowship here.
And by the way, Art, you're listening out there.
Eddie the bombardier says hello.
So we're just all saying hello and commiserating through the airwaves tonight.
Well, stay tuned, everybody.
It sure is.
We are going to take a break here.
And when we come back in the third hour, we've got a little treat.
We've got a little treat in store for you, a little surprise.
So stay tuned.
We're going to try this thing out again and see if it works this time.
So thanks again to Winston Smith for serving with me there the last couple of segments.
I'm James Edwards, about to take this break.
