Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
And welcome, everyone, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's another hot summer evening here in Memphis, Tennessee, Saturday night, August the 6th.
And we're coming to you live as we always do this time of the week from AM 1380 WLRM Radio Studios in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
We endured the fourth hottest day in the history of the city earlier this week, 106 degrees Fahrenheit, 100% humidity.
Heat index, it felt like 116.
That's Memphis, Tennessee in the summer.
That's what we're all about.
I guess we have it better than the Confederates did, though.
We have air conditioning and we're not marching around in wool suits.
But nevertheless, as hot as it is outside, it's even hotter tonight in this radio station.
And you're going to be sizzling with us over the course of the next three hours as we bring to you all the news that our peers in the mainstream media would hush up or otherwise distort.
Keith Alexander in studio with me tonight as we broadcast at the AM FM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online at thepoliticalcesspool.org and libertynewsradio.com to a worldwide audience of political cesspool fans spanning the globe.
Keith, a lot's going on tonight.
As you know, Jared Taylor will be our featured guest, editor of American Renaissance magazine.
He'll be coming on at the top of the second hour to talk about the firing of a conservative school principal in New York, fired for his political beliefs.
You're not going to want to miss that story, folks.
The agents of tolerance and diversity certainly don't practice what they preach if you have opinions differing from their own.
Very disturbing story, Jared will be on to share with us.
But first, Keith, we are making a lot of news here in the local area and, of course, around the blogosphere for an article that we saw in the Memphis newspaper a few days ago.
It was entitled United in Prayer.
If you have not yet read our take on the matter, go to thepolitical cesspool.org at your earliest possible convenience there, situated very near the top of the blog roll at thepolitical cesspool.org is our story United in Prayer.
It shares the same name of a headline in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, our daily fish rap, also entitled United in Prayer.
Keith, what was that story all about and why did we take such an interest with it?
Well, the reason we took an interest in it is that there is a pattern that we see in the daily newspaper here in Memphis and in the local news media generally.
They're always fanning the dying embers of the civil rights movement.
They just won't let the thing die.
They won't let it die a natural death.
They won't let it age gracefully.
They keep trying to bring it up front and center.
And, you know, that's puzzling.
We keep asking ourselves why.
And we think we've come up with the answer.
The answer is that at least in the eyes of the mainstream, both conservative and liberalism, the civil rights movement is like Caesar's wife.
It's beyond reproach.
There's nothing bad that any decent person can say about it.
And it is the one unqualified triumph in their eyes of liberalism.
And of course, by doing that, they give liberalism a free home base, just like the Ho Chi Minh Trail let the Viet Cong go back beyond the borders of South Vietnam where they could lick their wounds and gain strength and come back.
And of course, whenever they get into trouble, whenever they encounter resistance to something like gay marriage or the homosexual rights movement or radical feminism or radical environmentalism, What's the first thing they do?
They build a bridge between that movement and the civil rights movement and say, see, you're just one of those haters that opposed us in the civil rights movement.
If you really had your heart right, you would see things the way that we do.
We're the progressives.
We're the people that are moving society forward.
And if it were up to people like you, there would still be black only or colored only water fountains and bathrooms and segregated restaurants.
And the hateful regime of old America would still be in control.
And therefore, you need to bow to our superior wisdom and insight and be reasonable and do things our way.
Well, they're never going to give up the race card.
The race card is too valuable.
For the black race, for example, giving up the race card would be tantamount to giving up their meal ticket.
You know, why would you give away an ATM card that keeps on paying you money regularly and consistently and regularly every time you stick it in the machine?
People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will never give up the race card.
The commercial appeal in Memphis will never give up the race card.
It just works like a charm.
It is just like the Philosopher's Stone in medieval history, the mythical formula by which they turned lead into gold.
This is the way to cloak yourself in righteousness, cloak whatever movement that you're a proponent for with righteousness.
It's the way to get a pass.
It's the way to gain money.
It's the way to gain positive attention in the press or on TV or anything else.
You know, just be on the side of the angels with the civil rights movement.
So that's exactly what was done in this.
You had this old dilapidated building that had previously been Second Presbyterian Church until 1949 when they sold it to the black AME congregation or denomination, which under black leadership became what they called Clayburn Temple.
And it supposedly was an iconic place in the civil rights movement because black leaders like Martin Luther King and others would meet there to plan their operations.
And a lot of people in Memphis and the world are under the mistaken impression that Clayburn Temple is where Martin Luther King delivered his last famous I Have a Dream speech before being assassinated in Memphis.
Actually, he was at Mason Temple, but nonetheless, they feel that that's, you know, somehow inextricably linked with him.
Well, this is a stone building.
I mean, really an impressive stone structure.
And the only thing you have to do to keep the thing up would be to keep the roof repaired.
But like a lot of buildings in black neighborhoods in Memphis, that wasn't done.
The place is now a dilapidated shell.
And the AMA church is trying to sell it for a cool $1 million plus, trading on what they think will be their, you know, secret goodwill value in it, its quote-unquote, iconic status in the civil rights movement.
And they're looking for some guilty white liberals to buy it so that they will turn it into a civil rights shrine.
Now, the article in the paper was basically a build-up to the unveiling of the Martin Luther King statue that's going to be on the National Mall.
But they apparently brought some of their congregants out to Claiborne Temple last Sunday.
And there is a picture featured in the newspaper of one of the female congregants begging down, you know, bended down on both knees asking for forgiveness of some black guy that apparently was around back during the sanitation workers' strike in 1968.
And this was a symbol, James.
They did this for a purpose.
You know, we thought that the civil rights movement was supposed to be about racial equality.
But if it had been about equality, this congregant would not be on bended knees.
She'd be standing up shaking the hand of her black peer.
Instead, she's bending down like a defeated person ready to accept any punishment he wants to deal out.
Let's go on to our break now and we'll pick up with this on the other side, James.
Folks, if you want to see the picture that Keith is referring to that he's providing a verbal illustration of, go to thepolitical cesspool.org, click on the story United in Prayer.
We'll pick up with more thoughts on this story, which is Headline News in Memphis right after these words.
Jump in, the political says, pull with James and the game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Okay, I'm going to break it down for you, friends.
This story, United in Prayer, appeared earlier this week in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
It was front-page news story.
Big, big, big picture on, you know, above the flap in Monday's edition.
Basically what it is, it's just another celebratory article leading up to the Michael King statue unveiling in the DC Mall National Mall next week.
And it has a picture of this wealthy Memphis socialite who goes to this liberal church Keith was describing to you, second Presbyterian.
And she is literally on her knees in front of a 75-year-old former black garbage worker begging forgiveness.
And this is how the story reads.
This is an actual excerpt I'm about to read to you now.
It says, standing near the entrance to downtown's Claiborne Temple, this woman grabbed the hands, and we're not going to say her name on the air, but she grabbed the hands of 75-year-old Brown Berry.
That's his name, dropped to her knees and cried out for forgiveness.
Forgive me, she said.
Forgive me on behalf of my family for the ugliness of that time, talking about the 1960s.
But praise God, we have a beautiful Lord who brings about hope and restoration.
Brown Berry was a young black man in Memphis during the so-called civil rights movement and the sanitation workers strike.
He nodded his head in acceptance of the apology.
And they were all there to have a prayer march remembering the legacy of Martin Luther King and his righteous cause to abolish his righteous crusade to abolish private property rights and freedom of association.
I added that.
That's not in the paper.
But anyway, my question is, and again, this is another country club, wealthy, guilty white liberal socialite going down.
And literally, you got to see this picture that ran in the paper.
She is on her knees, on her knees, begging for forgiveness.
And for what?
I mean, did she do anything to harm this man or his family?
Did her parents do anything?
Were they culpable in the killing of Michael King in Memphis?
I mean, what is she apologizing for?
Is she apologizing for the fact that blacks in America have a higher standard of living than blacks anywhere else on the face of the earth?
And that is given to them at the expense of the founding stock.
Is she asking for forgiveness that America introduced blacks to Christian salvation?
Is she apologizing for the fact that they get welfare and affirmative action and quotas and set-asides and all sorts of freebies and government gimmies that whites can't get?
I mean, what, Keith, is she apologizing for?
And will we ever see the day when black people get on their knees and apologize for crime and violence and things like that, that they are a welfare dependency, that they are responsible for?
What's she apologizing for, Keith?
Well, she's a perfect example of what Tom Wolf called a limousine liberal in some of his writings like Bonfire the Vanities and Mao Mauing the Flag Catchers.
She apparently came from a privileged background.
I understand she was a cheerleader at one of the most exclusive private schools here in Memphis back in the day, married into a wealthy Memphis family, and she was probably from one herself.
I have no idea what her maiden name was, but unless her maiden name was Dayla Beckwith, I'm trying to figure out what she has to apologize so profusely before.
Maybe she knows and maybe she could tell us.
Is the standard of living better for blacks in this country because of whites or is it worse?
Well, the most prosperous, large group of blacks anywhere on the globe are American blacks.
Quite frankly, all of the blacks in Africa, particularly the ones that work around this kind of slave trade tourist industry in Ghana and places like this, where they basically cater to American blacks coming over to see their roots, quote unquote, and where their ancestors may have been led to a slave ship embarking for North America.
They shake their heads.
We had an article about it one time several years ago.
They say they wish that it was their ancestors that had been enslaved and sent over to America because quite frankly, without slavery, there would have been no way that a large number of blacks would have come to America.
They wouldn't have been over here for any other reason.
And quite frankly, black people and white people need to realize that for most of us, the most fortunate day in our ancestral history was the day when one of our ancestors boarded a ship or other conveyance headed for North America.
That's just the truth of the matter.
If you don't appreciate being American, then perhaps you need to go back to the old country if you really think things would be better for you there.
Of course, when you make that proposition or proposal to somebody who is a critic of our society, the silence is deafening.
Nobody wants to go back to the old country because they know they've got it better here than they would anywhere else.
But like I said before, it's the race card.
The race card pays off each and every time.
It works like a charm.
And as a result, liberals and the black community are never going to give it up.
They're never going to stop trying to inflict guilt on us because it pays so well.
It's like the old Creedon's Clearwater Revival song, Keith, when they ask you how much can you give, the only answer is more, more, more.
And, you know, the thing is, I mean, no one's obviously excusing slavery, but, you know, Firing the Hole big guys, it turned out well for those who had to endure it for a short amount of time, historically speaking.
Look at what their progeny enjoys now in America.
They have preferential treatment.
All we ask for, you know, we're called all sorts of ugly names here in the political cesspool because what we say is equal rights for all, special privileges for none.
We don't want these people to go back into bondage, but we certainly don't want to be treated as second-class citizens in a nation that are people founded from a wilderness.
I mean, that's just the fact of the matter.
Well, you know, the whole civil rights movement was based on the idea that we were going to have racial equality and that we were going to end racial discrimination.
No one ever told us that we were going to replace one form of racial discrimination with another.
And now, legally at law, white Americans are legally disadvantaged.
You get preference to get into selective colleges and universities if you are a white person.
I mean, excuse me, if you're a black person now.
It used to be that when you were a white person, you did, but now black people get preference.
People that have the same standardized test scores, if one is black and one is white, guess who gets in and guess who doesn't?
And this has been going on for over 40 years.
There are also hate crime laws in America, where, for example, if a white person assaults a black person, that's assault and a hate crime.
If a black person assaults a white person, no matter what their motivation, no matter how racially charged the incident is, they're only guilty of assault.
See, we're second-class citizens.
This is what Paul Craig Roberts called in a series of articles he wrote around 2000 the new feudalism.
Under feudalism, different people had different rights before the law.
If a serf assaulted a noble, that was a much more serious crime than if a noble assaulted a serf.
We're the new serfs.
Well, let me just, when it comes down to apologizing, and I'm not for anybody apologizing for anyone.
I certainly don't want anybody to apologize for me for anything.
I don't have anything to apologize for except for maybe telling the truth too much.
But the thing is, when it comes down to apologizing, apologize for something you may have done personally.
Don't apologize for your parents who were probably far more morally superior than you were.
But when it comes to apologizing, what about this story?
You know, I could tell you a story like this every single day and never repeat myself.
A 16-year-old white teenager was brutally murdered by a black gang in broad daylight over in London.
He was chased, 16-year-old white kid, exemplary record, not a troublemaker, chased down for no other reason than the fact that he was white across a park.
As soon as he got out of school one day, he was stabbed in the heart by a gang initiation of seven blacks in London.
He died in his mother's arms after the stabbing.
Where's the apology for something like that?
Another life tragically cut short by diversity.
It's racist, of course, to point out that fact.
But, you know, take a look.
We got this video up.
Take a look at the, you know, the news story.
It shows a photo of the victim and his murderers.
I'm sure all of this could have been averted, though, if guilty white liberal socialites had been there to ask these animals for their forgiveness.
We've got to take a break.
We'll be back.
Get 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 the space.
Just a quick closing thought on our topic for discussion here at the opening segments of the show tonight, United in Prayer.
Folks, if you ever want to see a perfect illustration of what white guilt looks like, you have got to go.
And I mean, you have got to go to thepolitical cesspool.org, our internet headquarters for this radio program, and click on the article, the blog entry entitled United in Prayer.
That is what white guilt looks like.
And I got to commend my co-host, my friend and associate Keith Alexander, for holding his nose and diving into the local daily newspaper in Memphis every day trying to find content and information stories to bring to light on this show for finding that gem and bringing it to our website.
And of course, it's been picked up by countless websites since then and it's making big news.
Our take on it is.
Keith, I don't know how you do it, but you found another one in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, our daily fish wrap, as you call it, this week.
Farmers markets.
Now, as we know, to a liberal, anything and everything always is racist.
But how is a farmer's market racist?
A farmer's market is when local farmers bring in their crops to sell to the public.
How could that possibly be racist?
Well, racism's everywhere.
If you've read my book, Racism-Schmacism, you know that racism is absolutely everywhere, and it's more prevalent now than it ever was during the days of segregation and Jim Crow and all that.
There's more racists alive today than there was in the 1600s and 1800s.
Racism is behind every corner, under every rock today, Keith.
How are farmers' markets racist according to the local paper?
Tell you James, this article in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, again, trying to fan the dying embers of the civil rights movement.
In fact, there's an article by our black columnist, Wendy Thomas, Farmers Market Has Ugly Underside.
It just proves the truth of the primary premise of your book, Racism-Schmacism, which is that a racist is a white person.
In this particular case, we're talking about a yuppie farmer's market down near the old train station in the South Maine district of Memphis, which is a kind of bohemian grove in Memphis, where a lot of either empty nesters or people that don't have children yet who think they're kind of on the cutting edge and are typically leftist, what they do is they go to this farmer's market.
You know, these are the Birkenstock-wearing hippie types that are into loca-vore food and organic food and whatnot.
And a lot of the people that produce this food have a similar mindset.
So these are white liberals who are basically populating this market.
Well, those merry pranksters, the local branch of Acorn called the Mid South Peace and Justice Center, apparently arranged for a lot of black people to get food vouchers for produce and fruit and vegetables and stuff.
See, there's just another government giveaway program that you probably didn't know about until today.
I didn't know about it, but they give them $20 vouchers to go out and buy food.
Well, a lot of these farmers are on a kind of short, you know, narrow profit margin, and they're not particularly happy at having to accept vouchers, most of which probably take months to collect on.
And when you do collect them on them, if they're like EBT cards, they pay less than $50 on a, I mean 50% of the cost of the food.
So every farmer and every producer and produce producer didn't want to participate in this program.
So the few that did, they were down at one end and these busloads or groups of people that were using these voucher things were going down there.
Well, of course, they weren't happy with this situation.
And some of them, you know, were passing out in the heat, complaining, being loud and profane and stuff like this.
And they thought that apparently it's racist if you prefer to have real money over monopoly money, which is what these vouchers are.
So apparently Wendy Thomas' unerring instincts of trying to unearth racism have come up with these Ku Klux Klan hippies, apparently, down at the farmer's market in downtown Memphis.
Probably as big a liberal group as you'd ever want to see.
But, you know, as James says in his book, a racist is a white person.
Never forget it.
This is a perfect example of the truth of your observation, James.
A liberal, I mean, a white person is racist.
That's all you have to know about it.
And, you know, we have these Ku Klux Klan hippies down here at the downtown farmer's market wearing Birkenstocks and, you know, crunching and granola bars to prove it.
Keith Alexander doing what he does best, scouring the local papers, bringing news to your attention that you just wouldn't get on any other mainstream radio broadcast in the world other than our award-winning show here, The Political Cessible.
You know, the one thing Memphis has going, well, it had a lot of things going forward back in the day.
I mean, Memphis truly was a great city at one point.
People might not believe me when I say that.
And certainly by the time I came around in 1980, it had seen finer days.
But Memphis was truly a great southern city for a long, long time.
And among other things, as you know, it's the final resting place of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
A lot of good history in Memphis.
I guess the one thing done in recent years that the city of Memphis got right was giving our radio program a certificate of recognition for outstanding contributions to the community and naming me an honorary city councilman.
We've got to give you one of those things, Keith.
I mean, that gets you into all the good restaurants here in Memphis.
That gets you priority seating.
You know, I take that with me, actually.
I got it framed here in the office of the radio station.
What would you say the dimensions of that are, Keith?
I don't know.
8 by 10, maybe a little bit bigger.
It's a little bit larger.
Well, it won't fit in my pocket, but, you know, I just carry it around in a portfolio.
And when I go to 8.5 by 11, maybe.
And, you know, anytime I walk into McDonald's, you know, I get right in.
Best seat in the house with that baby.
Rather than putting you next to the kitchen door the way they do me.
But I'm telling you, it's just, you know, we need, you know, let's do what the civil rights movement promised, which was let's have racial equality.
Let's stop apologizing.
Let's stop moving seamlessly from discriminating against blacks to discriminating against whites.
I have children.
So do all these other people, including the lady that was on bended knee.
And we would like them to have a bright future.
We don't want them to be discriminated against.
That's what I don't, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her or her children when we transition as we are predicted will happen in 2042 where white people become a minority in America.
I don't want things in America to go the way of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
And I think we're certainly on that track right now, slowly devolving.
Well, you know, and things like this, this, you know, this is cementing in the minds of impressionable young black people that somehow white people owe them something and that the government and the white power structure has been cruel and bad to them in the past.
And again, those are relative things.
As we said, basically, black people in America are the most prosperous black people in the world, James.
What's to apologize for?
You know, and this gives me time to, an occasion, opportunity to infuse into the commentary here a quip from our good friend Pat Buchanan who said on this very show, we've heard the grievances, where's the gratitude?
And that's something you can always bring up.
I mean, certainly more good than bad has been done for all of mankind from the actions of our people.
And, you know, the great double standard.
The great political double standard, the great social double standard is that you can be proud to be anything in the world, including things that you should absolutely not be proud to be, such as a homosexual.
I'm sorry.
That's perverted.
It goes against nature.
It goes against God.
It's unholy, immoral, unhealthy.
It's all that stuff.
But you can be proud to be that.
You can be proud to be anything except to be a white person.
You cannot be proud if you are white.
They told me that on CNN.
They said all whites are born racist.
That's what they told me on CNN, you know, one of my appearances.
You can be proud to be white, and you should be proud to be white.
We are a pro-white radio program.
That does not mean that we are anti-anybody else.
As Keith said, we want everybody to prosper.
But what is love, as we often ask, if not loving your own family and preferring your own culture to that of others?
It doesn't mean that you hate other cultures, that you hate other people, but certainly anyone.
It's only normal and natural to have an affinity for your own heritage.
And we do.
So we're pro-white.
But to be pro-white is to be the epitome of evil in modern-day political parlance, whereas to be pro-Jewish, you need to be a member of a Jewish advocacy group or a Latino, Hispanic, mestizo, black, homosexual advocacy group.
All that's fine.
All that's not only allowed, but encouraged.
But how dare you get on here if you're a European or a European American and say anything good about your ancestors?
Well, folks, that's where we split.
And we're not going to go for it.
And that's not, you know, this show, we might be the only pro-white show, explicitly pro-white show in the world, but that's what we are.
And we're not going to apologize.
We're not going to surrender.
We're not going to retreat.
And we're not going to, unlike them, we're not going to say they can't be proud of their heritage.
them be proud of whatever they want to be proud of but you're not going to take that privilege away from us welcome back to get on the political cesspool call Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the show, the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I know we had some callers on the line.
I want to apologize to the callers at this time.
We're not able to take calls at the moment.
I mean, we are, but we've got to keep moving.
We've got to cover some ground.
I mean, we're not having technical difficulties.
But if you have a question or a comment, I encourage you to email me.
I will make a priority to get back to your email comment as quickly as possible.
But we've got to keep the show moving a little bit tonight because it is so jam-packed.
So if you were on the line, and I know we had a little bit of a log jam of callers there for a moment, email me, james at thepolitical cesspool.org, and I promise to reply.
Keith, you wanted to wrap up some of your commentary on the racist former's market.
And then we got to get into a new book by Lynn Cheney.
Lynn Cheney, wife of Richard Dick Cheney, who are, you know, such good parents in raising a lesbian daughter that she wrote a children's book.
And it's called America, a Patriotic Primer.
We're going to get to that in just a second.
But first, Keith has some final thoughts.
James, there are a lot of people, and I'm sure there are a lot of people at churches like Second Presbyterian and, let's say, Bellevue Baptist in Memphis, who disapprove of the gay rights movement, disapprove of gay marriage, support the Defense of Marriage Act.
What people need to understand is that if there had never been a Brown versus Board of Education, there never would have been a Roe versus Wade.
If there had never been a civil rights movement, there never would have been a gay rights movement.
So consequently, you need to temper your enthusiasm for liberalism.
We take the position here at the political cesspool that liberalism is the modern face of evil, and we mean it.
You know, it's just like decon.
Decon has one-tenth of 1% poison.
99-tenth percent is either inert or healthful, but that one-tenth of 1% is deadly.
You've got to remember that liberalism is anti-Christian.
It is anti-Western civilization.
And, for example, look back at the French Revolution, which was probably the first manifestation of modern liberalism.
They were explicitly anti-Christian and anti-clerical.
I think it was Diderot who said that mankind will not be truly free until the last king is strangled with the entrails, that means the intestines of the last priest.
So, you know, don't try to make peace with or not, particularly don't embrace liberalism.
Liberalism, if you embrace things like the civil rights movement without pointing out what the shortcomings were, what the problems are with it, then you're going to encounter things like the gay rights movement and you'll have no defense.
See, the left links them all.
They're all radical egalitarian movements.
We're always moving towards nirvana.
We're moving towards freedom and justice and self-actualization for the human race by embracing liberalism.
And we respectfully disagree with that viewpoint.
We see all of the, we look at the decline, for example, of the Memphis school system since 1954.
What does the Bible say?
The Bible says, do not be deceived.
You shall know them by their fruits.
Can a good tree bring forth corrupt fruit?
Can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit?
By their fruits, you shall know them.
Look at East High School in 1954 and look at it today.
Is that change a change that you would describe as good fruit or corrupt fruit?
Look at Central High School in Memphis.
Look at even Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis.
Back then, check the SAT and ACT scores back then as compared with today.
And you'll find that public education has been decimated by liberalism, specifically liberalism that's associated with the civil rights movement.
You know, we need to be honest about things like this.
We don't need to be sugarcoating things and disregarding things, you know, and we don't need to pretend that if our children can go to an exclusive private school, that somehow, you know, we can continue to tell little white lies about the state of public education in Memphis.
If it's so good, why don't people send their kids there?
They don't send their kids there because they know the education is bad and they know why the education is bad, but they don't have the courage to say it.
You know, Alexander Solsknitson is famous for his comment, live not by lies.
Don't live with lies, even little white lies.
All lies are, you know, God said you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.
Let's tell the truth on all of these issues and stop trying to sugarcoat things.
Stop trying to save people's feelings.
Our nation is going down the drain.
If you've been paying attention over the past week or so, our credit rating has been dropped from triple A to A.
We are in the midst of a depression.
Our economy is going to hell in a handbasket, to use a quaint phrase that people use.
We're not winning wars.
We're not doing anything like our ancestors did.
And quite frankly, there's a reason for it.
And the reason is the ascendancy of liberalism in America.
We've been going downhill through most of my lifetime.
And I think that we need to understand why.
We need to come to terms with what's happening.
I don't think we would be having this happen if we were on the right track.
And the track that we're on is the track of liberalism, James.
Well, folks, that being said, let me, Keith, just set this up for me.
Tell them what I'm holding in my hands, and then we'll get into it real quick because we only have a couple of minutes left in this hour.
James has a baby, and he is like a good parent looking for books that he can give to this child to help her grow into a sound moral person.
And looking through the books that were available in the local bookstore, he came up with a book called America, a Patriotic Primer or Primer by Lynn Cheney.
Now, Lynn Cheney is the wife of Dick Cheney and the mother of their famous lesbian daughter who regularly denounces both of her parents and the Republican Party for which they are closely associated.
Now, Lynn apparently is such a stellar parent under these circumstances that she has decided that she will model parenting for the rest of us by writing this nice little book, which apparently worked out so well for her.
And it basically goes through the ABCs and tells you what each letter stands for.
I'll let James give you a few examples.
Okay, it's an ABC book for kids about America's patriotic past, present, and future.
A is for America.
B is for birthday of this nation.
C is for the Constitution.
D is for the Declaration of Independence.
So, so far, so good, right, Keith?
Well, then we keep going along.
E is for equality.
All right, now we're getting somewhere.
G is for God.
Okay, you know, look, it looks good so far.
Then the plot thickens.
H is for heroes.
And on the H page, it gives you a collage of American heroes, including Chief Joseph, whoever that was, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Jackie Robinson.
That is the best they could come up with for American heroes.
K is for king.
Martin Luther, yeah, not King George.
K is for king.
Martin Luther King, we shall overcome.
And it's got, you know, everybody doing this march against private property rights and freedom of association.
And, you know, because he fought violence with peaceful protest, they said.
FBI file is not included or referenced anywhere in there.
The FBI file that was sealed by a federal judge right before they made his birthday national holiday because they knew it was radioactive.
It had so much bad stuff in there about this man that nobody in their right mind would hold him up as a role model if it were known.
So basically, it's been deep six.
L is for Lincoln.
You had to get Abraham Lincoln in there.
You know, he certainly did a lot of good for the country, particularly the South.
N is for the Native Americans who came here first.
Got to get the noble savages in there.
You know, has anyone ever seen Apocalypto?
I mean, that's what it was really like.
You know, they weren't all at with, you know, one with each other.
You had thousands of warring tribes living in shanties, you know, squatting on the land, practicing ritual sacrifice and worshiping animals and this, that.
You know, come on.
That wasn't, you know, that's not what America is about.
S is for suffrage.
Women's suffrage.
Women's suffrage, of course, and it's got all of these.
First great triumph of liberalism, as Keith says, women's suffrage.
How does it end here?
It says Z is for the end of the alphabet.
They should have put Zionism.
Anyway, you know, this is everywhere.
It is absolutely everywhere.
Well, see, they've got this new modern template that they're going to force feed your children and mine, and they can't ever start it too early.
It's there, and it's propaganda.
And they don't want parents to have much of a role in teaching their children because parents don't teach them what the left wants them to know.
James, beware of all these things.
You got to read them yourself.
Well, folks, as Keith mentioned, and I know we're coming up at the end of this hour, America is devolving.
As we become, as we always say, you can't have a first world nation with a third world population.
Our credit rating is going down.
The economy, by any standard of measurement, America is falling.
It is in decline.
Our number two, I think.
We've got to do something about that.
Liberalism has something to do about that.
Political correctness, multiculturalism.
It all has something to do with it.
We're going to take a break.
We'll be back.
Real good album.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose and his frozen balloons.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his riches leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
