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, everyone, my friends, to the third and final hour of tonight's live broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
It's Saturday evening, November 26th.
And I'm coming to you live from AM 1380 WLRM Radio in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, going out not only to our flagship station, but also to the AMFM affiliates of Liberty News Radio Network and SimoCasting Online.
If you don't live in a market that carries our program, don't worry.
The internet's got you covered.
ThepoliticalSesspool.org there.
You will find our live simulcast on Saturday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. Central Time and also our broadcast archives.
You never have to worry about missing a live show.
If you can't make it, the archives have you covered.
But we do love those who are able to tune in live.
And we know that there are some people that tune in live every week and have been doing so for years on end.
We're thankful for you all.
And it's a great time to be thankful.
Thanksgiving week, two days past.
A great American tradition, Thanksgiving Day was just two days ago.
And as we mentioned, we have posted on our website, and we did on Thanksgiving Day, and it was the only news story that we had featured that day, George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation.
But before I read it with you, I'd like to once again thank Keith Alexander for his services during the first hour tonight.
What a great job he does co-hosting this show with me during the first hour each and every Saturday night.
And of course, our featured guest for the evening who spent an hour with us as well, Reverend Ted Pike of the National Prayer Network.
Check out his work.
Support his work at truthtellers.org.
Now, George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation, you know, to say the least, they sure don't make them like this anymore.
And I'm going to read it for you.
And while I'm reading it, I'd like for you to ask yourself the question, can you even imagine a modern-day politician having the kind of character it take to deliver anything so beautiful and as righteous as this?
George Washington's speech here represents the kind of America that we here at the Political Assessful Radio Program certainly seek to restore.
And as you know, people in the 1700s were a lot more intelligent than people today, apparently.
To say the least, the politicians of that day were more intelligent.
And he uses proper English in this, which is again something that we don't do anymore.
So I'm going to do my best to read it and read it well.
This is what George Washington had to write.
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.
And whereas both houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity to peaceably establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious being who is the beneficient author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.
That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for his kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation, for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of his providence and the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed,
for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge,
and in general, for all the great and various favors which he has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and ruler of nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just,
and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations, especially such have shown kindness to us, and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord,
to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us, and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the city of New York, the third day of October, A.D. 1789, George Washington.
Folks, I know he uses grammar, the likes of which we don't use anymore in 2011.
Like everything else, standards have fallen.
But if that was too much for you to digest via the spoken word, I encourage you, no, I implore you to visit our website, thepolitical cesspool.org, and read for yourself George Washington's original Thanksgiving proclamation.
We encouraged everyone on Thanksgiving Day to share that passage with their family.
I certainly did with mine and did with you tonight, my extended family here in the listening audience.
Here at the Political Cessible Radio Program, we certainly give thanks for our loyal audience of faithful listeners.
We couldn't do it without you.
And a belated happy Thanksgiving to both you and yours from our hosting staff and production crew.
Thanksgiving, a great time of year.
And we should remember, you know, those who came before us, we should remember the time during which this nation was righteous, when leaders of this nation, presidents of this nation literally believed in God.
You know, I don't think that's asking too much.
It's hard to remember a time when a president actually did that, rather than just using it as a prop to pander to Christian voters.
A great time.
You know, America can be restored.
I wouldn't be doing this in vain if I didn't believe that we could restore and reclaim America's destiny.
But certainly you look back to the time during which that proclamation was written and spoken, and you compare it to today, and you would lose a lot of hope.
But ladies and gentlemen, all hope is not lost.
Again, we are thankful for you during Thanksgiving and always.
We want you to know how much we appreciate and love you for your support.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you out there in our listening audience.
And I wanted to be sure to work that in during tonight's broadcast at some point.
We've been very busy tonight, obviously.
But before the sand fell from the hourglass, I wanted to share with you that.
And now I've had the opportunity to do so.
So we're going to get back on the political beaten path when the political cesspool continues right after these words from our sponsors.
Stay tuned, everybody.
Jump in, the political says.
Pull with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the Political Successful Radio Program.
James Edwards here with you on the Liberty News Radio Network.
And we were sharing with you before a Thanksgiving proclamation written and issued by George Washington, something that every American family should know and treasure and keep in their hearts.
But how many modern day Americans involved in the political process have even a shred of respect or the kind of integrity and character that could even remotely compare to that of our founding fathers, George Washington, people who sacrificed everything for a cause they believed in.
Very, very few, to be sure.
And I don't know if anybody measures up to the founding fathers.
I mean, let's be frank.
But you want to find people in the same vein.
You have to search long and hard in order to be able to point your finger at a select few.
And there are a select few out there, one of which being, of course, Chuck Baldwin.
Chuck Baldwin has been a regular guest on the Political Assessable Radio Program in the past, particularly during our early years.
Chuck Baldwin is, of course, a syndicated columnist, the radio broadcaster, author, and pastor, dedicated, as his bio reads, to preserving the historic principles upon which America was founded.
And this, of course, goes back to the Thanksgiving Proclamation and so many others ideas and documents.
Chuck Baldwin was the 2008 presidential candidate for the Constitution Party.
He received my vote in 2008.
He has three children and eight grandchildren.
If you know anything about Chuck Baldwin, you know that he is definitely a man worthy of your support.
He's a Christian.
He's a constitutionalist.
He's a family man.
He really represents everything that America was supposed to have stood for.
The SPLC, as I found out recently, lists him as one of the most prominent extremists in Montana, which, of course, is the best endorsement that one could ask for, as far as I'm concerned.
Extremist.
He's a Christian.
He's a family man.
He's a constitutionalist.
He's a patriot.
Well, if that's an extremist, then count me in.
I want to be one, too.
But the good news about Chuck Baldwin, even better than all that that I just shared with you, is that he is now a candidate for lieutenant governor of the great state of Montana.
He has officially announced that he is running again for the Montana lieutenant governor seat as of a week or two ago.
And again, it's so few and far between that we find candidates for public office that are truly worthy of our support.
It's almost impossible that we find them in our local communities.
So you have to branch out and find them wherever they may be.
Well, Chuck Baldwin's that guy, folks.
And I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
I'm not going to spend too much time on it this evening, but I did want to bring it to your attention that Chuck Baldwin has thrown his hat in the ring.
He is running for Montana lieutenant governor.
He's running on the Republican ticket.
And we know that Chuck has in the past, as I mentioned, been the presidential standard bearer for the Constitution Party.
But, you know, we want Chuck Baldwin to win office.
And this was the most practical way that he would have a fighting chance to do so.
He has teamed up with another gentleman, Bob Fanning, who is running as governor, running for governor of Montana.
Chuck would be his lieutenant governor.
It's a crowded Republican field.
I believe there are eight Republican tickets in the vying for the Republican nomination during the 2012 elections there in Montana for governor and lieutenant governor.
Crowded field.
I don't know much about the inner workings of Montana Republican politics.
All I can say is Chuck Baldwin represents a ticket that is one-eighth of the field.
And when you have such a crowded field, you would hope that that would increase the odds or the likelihood that Chuck could be elected.
Again, longtime fans of the program will remember Chuck's previous appearances with us.
And for more information, we encourage you to check out fanningbaldwin.com.
Or you can just go to the Political Successful Radio program and find our link there.
And that's something you should certainly look for.
In the meantime, hearkening back to a conversation that we had with Reverend Ted Pike during the second hour, Ron Paul has said something that would certainly get him labeled anti-Semitic.
He says that, look, basically, and I'm putting this in a nutshell, I'm going to let Ron Paul speak for himself in this clip that I'm about to play, but he says that, you know, we should put America first.
Israel, and in fact, all other nations should be able to take care of themselves.
This is something so simple, so basic, so truthful, that you have to just shake your head over the fact that this is considered to be controversial now.
But as we know, the Israeli lobby, the Israel lobby, is very powerful, very well financed, and they have in their pocket not only most of the elected officials, but most of the candidates as well.
One they don't is Ron Paul, and this is just another of the many, many reasons Ron Paul is the only candidate running in the Republican field worthy of your vote.
Can we cue up that clip, please?
Why does Israel need our help?
We need to get out of their way.
I mean, we interfere with them.
We interfere with them when they deal with their borders.
When they want to have peace treaties, we tell them what they can do because we buy their allegiance and they sacrifice their sovereignty to us.
And then they decide they want to bomb something.
That's their business, but they should suffer the consequences.
When they bombed the Iraqi missile site, a nuclear site back in the 80s, I was one of the few in Congress that said it's none of our business.
And Israel should take care of themselves.
Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles, and they can take care of themselves.
Why should we commit?
We don't even have a treaty with Israel.
Why do we have this automatic commitment that we're going to send our kids and send our money endlessly to Israel?
So I think they're quite capable of taking care of themselves.
I think we do detriment.
Just think of all the money we gave to Egypt over 30 or 40 years.
Now, look, we were buying friendship.
Now there's a civil war.
They're less friendly to Israel.
That whole thing is going to backfire once we go bankrupt and we remove our troops.
So I think we should be very cautious in our willingness to go to war and send troops without a proper declaration by the U.S. Congress.
Well, that was Ron Paul.
That was Ron Paul.
How can you argue with that?
But, you know, sadly, in today's contemporary political climate, that is seen as just not only a controversial statement, but almost a ghastly statement to be made.
That one would put the Constitution first.
That one would put George Washington's wise words first, that we should absolve ourselves of foreign entanglements and never-ending alliances with foreign nations.
Well, that was Ron Paul.
You just heard the clip.
That was a statement that he shared at a very recent Republican debate.
And he is the only candidate that is speaking that truth.
Again, folks, I don't know if the audience of the Political Assess Poll radio program is going to be large enough to dissuade the GOP political primaries, but for what it's worth, I want everyone listening to my words tonight to cast their vote for Ron Paul.
Is he everything we want?
Do we agree with him on 101% of the issues?
I don't agree with myself on 100% of the issues.
I mean, I don't think anyone can say that.
And unfortunately, you know, that's something that impairs paleoconservatives from time to time.
We have that 100% rule.
Well, I agree with you on 99% of everything, but it's that 1% that I disagree with you on that disqualifies you.
Well, we've got to be bigger than that.
Ron Paul, there's no other candidate running for president that we agree with more than Ron Paul.
I think we can all agree on that.
And thankfully, the Associated Press reports that Ron Paul is now surging into the lead of GOP candidates in Iowa polls.
We're going to share with you that story right after these commercial breaks.

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.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the program, the Political Cess Pool.
James Edwards here with you, rounding out another program.
We're going to get to our intrepid correspondent, Peter Scoop Stanton, in the next segment.
But first, I want to quickly go through a couple of remaining news stories.
As I mentioned before, Associated Press reports that Ron Paul is now surging into the lead of GOP candidates in the Iowa polls.
And we provided for you there a rather long article, but the most important couple of paragraphs of this article is the fact that a recent Bloomberg news poll shows Ron Paul in a close second place in Iowa, all of a sudden, behind only Herman Kaine himself, but within striking distance of Kaine and ahead of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, who's also rising in the GOP field, apparently.
Two weeks earlier, Des Moines Register poll showed Paul in third place, and now he's in second.
So we continue to monitor there what Ron Paul is going to be able to do.
Obviously, still a long shot, dark horse candidate, but, you know, again, he is the only person with a fighting chance that we should consider voting for.
All right, I mentioned this story a little bit earlier.
In fact, I'm going to give you the definition of what a double standard is.
And the story, of course, we referenced it during the first hour, the White House.
The Obama administration has released an official report documenting how Obama has helped African Americans.
Now, that's the headline.
Now, let me give you the textbook dictionary definition of double standard.
Double standard is a noun, and it's an ethical or moral code that applies more strictly to one group than to another.
And here's the example.
The example that the dictionary should provide to illustrate what a double standard is is the White House releasing an official report documenting how Obama has helped black people.
Here's the story.
The Obama administration, again, recently unveiled a 44-page report entitled The President's Agenda and the African American Community that highlights policies that the White House says have benefited black people.
It is, in some respects, an answer to critics who've argued that the president hasn't done enough to address the harsh economic realities in black communities.
The roots, the root, of course, being an all-black publication, sort of like Ebony Magazine.
Of course, again, no double standard there.
The roots, Cynthia Gordy points out that last week's report highlights many of the same policies in creating pathways to opportunity.
The report released last month that outlined how the administration has helped low-income Americans, which, of course, are black Americans in most cases.
According to the new report, the Recovery Act and its later expansions kept 1.3 million African Americans above the poverty line in 2010, while this year, the administration's earned income tax credit and the child tax credit has benefited 2.2 million black families and nearly half of all black children.
That's from the official story.
Now, my commentary on this is basically, so the White House releases an official manifesto reporting on the various ways Obama has helped black people since he's been in office.
But don't hold your breath waiting for them to release the report detailing how they've helped white Americans since he's been in office.
In fact, to even ask what an elected official has done to help European Americans would get you shouted down with baseless accusations of racism.
The fact that so many people can't see this blatant and obvious hypocrisy is staggering.
We should be able to enjoy the same ethnocentric representation that the minorities enjoy, period.
Thankfully, you know, you have a radio show here that still speaks for the founding stock.
But again, my biggest beef with this is not that I have a problem with Obama issuing this report.
I think that's healthy and natural, as I've said a thousand times over.
My question is, why couldn't a representative, a senator, a congressman in an all-white district or a majority white district issue a report saying how he's helped the white people of that community?
What's wrong with that?
Well, of course, to even consider that.
Again, it gets you shadowed down with these basic accusations.
Obama does it as the president, who's supposed to represent all Americans.
He issues a report detailing how he's helped only black Americans.
And, oh, well, of course, why not?
Why didn't he?
Why shouldn't he?
Why didn't he do it earlier?
Those are the questions, not whether or not it's racist or not.
Sort of along the same lines with that, I want to ask the rhetorical question, where are the Republicans on welfare?
The Council of Conservative Citizens, we interviewed their CEO, Gordon Baum, last week on the show, has noted two issues that have proven to be very successful for Republicans, and they are, number one, the opposition to welfare, and number two, the opposition to affirmative action.
Traditionally, these were great issues for Republicans running for office.
These days, however, Republican leaders continue to shun these issues for fear of offending black people.
An author for the great website founded by Peter Brimelow, another political cesspool guest who was the former editor of Forbes magazine, it's vdair.com, an author for VDAIR writes this, I came of age during the Reagan years when welfare was a major wedge issue.
Back then, the GOP was not always afraid to campaign on allegedly racially tinged issues, and the Gipper himself railed against welfare queens living large on the dole while mostly white taxpayers struggled to raise their own families.
Welfare back then was a winning issue for Republicans.
It was considered fair game in debates and campaigns.
But now, welfare has all but disappeared from political discourse.
It has not been mentioned in the Republican primary debates.
Whoever gets the GOP nomination will not bring up the issue against President Obama, the issue being welfare and affirmative action.
Affirmative action itself has never even made it into federal politics at all, except very briefly after the great grassroots victory of California's Prop 2009 and 1996, when its 10 seconds of fame were abruptly ended by none other than then House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who decried the issue unsuitable for modern majority party he wanted to build.
And how did that work out?
Well, affirmative action was at least once discussed by neoconservative magazines like Commentary, but even that now has stopped.
Commentary hasn't even mentioned affirmative action since 2004.
This is why Sam Francis, the former editor of the Washington Post, called the Republican Party the stupid party.
You have winning issues out there, but you won't run on them because you're afraid you're going to offend people who have never voted for you in the first place.
One of the myths about welfare was that that was repeated almost every time it was debated in the 1980s and 1990s was that more whites than blacks were on welfare.
Not surprisingly, Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton used this line, but I recall hearing alleged conservatives such as Newt Gingrich, Deborah Sanders, and John Leo and Cal Thomas also bringing out this whopper when talking about welfare.
Of course, it was a lie.
In 1990, the black-white breakdown for Aid to Families and Dependent Children, AFDC, was 41% black to 38% white, despite the fact that blacks were only 12% of the population over this time period.
So the image of the black welfare queen used by Ronald Reagan was rooted in reality.
In 1990, let me repeat this.
In 1990, of all of those on welfare, more blacks were on it than whites, even though blacks are only 12% of the population.
Fast forward to present time, about two years ago, Sean Hannity repeated this myth on radio, saying that more whites received welfare than blacks.
I meant to look up the latest racial breakdown of welfare, but forgot the 2011 numbers, that is.
However, a recent blog entry on National Review Online made me think of this issue once again.
And folks, you can read this for yourself and do the research for yourself.
We always provide links and verifiable sources to back up our commentary here on the Political Assess Poll Radio Program.
Check it out.
It's still up there in the most recent blog role.
Where are the Republicans on welfare?
We have a couple of links that you might want to take a look at to further educate yourself on this issue.
But the bottom line is, and we see it now as much as ever before, more than ever before, Republicans would rather lose than be called racists.
And as a result, they take out of their playbook winning issues that could deliver to them elections.
Issues that are important to their voters.
Issues like stopping welfare, cutting down welfare and affirmative action practices that racially discriminate against white Americans.
They don't want to hear about it.
They don't want to talk about it.
They'd rather lose.
A Texas teacher orders students to pledge allegiance to Mexico.
That's another story we're tracking.
LeapPoliticalSuccesspool.org.
Can't tell you about it now, though, because I got to take a commercial break.
Stay tuned, everybody.
We'll be back with more right after this.
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 Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Final segment now upon us.
Another program has gone by far too quickly.
The fastest three hours of my week every Saturday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Central Time.
Thanks for being here to share it with me.
We've had another good show tonight, still digesting all that turkey, but another good show.
And here to help us wrap it up, our intrepid correspondent from the Washington, D.C. area, Mr. Peter Scoop Stanton.
Scoop, how was your Thanksgiving, buddy, first of all?
I had to work.
Oh, don't tell me.
Don't.
We've had such a good time now.
You had to work on Thanksgiving.
Not only did I have to work on Thanksgiving, but my wife and daughter went with her parents to a resort area in Western Virginia to have Thanksgiving dinner with other members of the family.
So I was home by myself here at the house, and I had to go to work.
Pete, you don't leave me anywhere to go after that.
It's kind of just, you know, we're having a good show.
You just kind of rained on my parade.
I wanted to hear something happy, and that's not a way to end it.
Well, what can I do?
Did you get a turkey sandwich?
Did you get to eat a turkey sandwich at least?
Yeah, work provided a beautiful, beautiful spread for us who are stuck at work.
Okay, even though there's nothing going on, and these things sent us all home, but that's a whole different story.
All right.
Well, I wish we could go back two minutes and I wouldn't have asked you that question.
But, you know, anyway, happy Thanksgiving for me to you, buddy.
I mean, if no one else wished it to you, I'm two days late and a dollar short, but you know, it's sincere.
Right, yeah.
And I was listening to George Washington's proclamation on Thanksgiving is very well read by President Washington.
There you go.
Like you said before, you can't pay for something like that today.
No, that's right.
I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, he invoked God sincerely.
I mean, now it's just kind of a joke or just a transparent pander for them to do something like that.
And yeah, I mean, you compare that speech, that written statement to anything you'd hear today.
And it's just, you know, what you get today's filthy rags.
But anyway, Pete, what stories are you tracking right now?
I do want to mention this.
This is the last story that's currently featured on our blog role that we haven't had the time to get to tonight.
And I don't know how many people knew it.
I don't really watch this, but I finally found a reason to like NASCAR.
It's not that I don't like the people who like NASCAR.
These are our people, to be sure.
I just, you know, never really got into watching a bunch of cars run around a track.
It's just, you know, to each their own.
It just is, you know, kind of boring to me.
But as much as I love the people who go to NASCAR, I give them another feather in their collective hats.
Did you read?
Michelle Obama was at a NASCAR race at the Homestead Miami Speedway down in South Florida.
And as they were announced, they were the ones to deliver the famous words, gentlemen, start your engines.
And they were booed roundly by the crowd assembled there.
Have you heard about that, Scoop?
Yes, and I watched that clip many, many times of live TV.
But like 10 years ago at the concert for New York City at National Square Garden, where Hillary Clinton was booed out of the arena, the rebroadcast, they edited it out.
So I suspect there might have been some sound editing when you heard those booze, because I mean, they weren't really that loud.
Because if you watch a race and those cars making a certain turn or something, passing somebody or some of these favorite drivers driving by them, people are just cheering, and these racetracks hold literally hundreds of thousands of people.
So right yes, they do.
There's more.
There's more going on to meet the ear And, you know, they're really, if you haven't seen one before, I mean, we've all seen football stadiums, but you should really see one of these race car stadiums.
But I travel, I've been to Atlanta for different events and talks and meetings in recent years.
And to get to Atlanta, you have to drive right past Talladega Speedway in Alabama.
And it's just right there on the side of the major interstate there.
And it's just, it's just, it's massive, massive, massive.
And so you get all these people together.
And of course, you know, NASCAR, not to the extent that Ole Miss has subjected itself to.
But NASCAR is trying to kind of clean itself up with a little politically correct soap in recent years.
You can't bring a Confederate flag into NASCAR events.
If you've ever seen NASCAR fans, God knows they are salt of the earth, by and large, southern people.
And that's where NASCAR was started.
I mean, that's what it's all about.
And so they've tried to create a more politically correct image for themselves.
But I tell you, it was great to see people objecting to the sort of liberalism that embodies people like Michelle Obama.
I mean, they'll get shouted down as racist for objecting.
You know, if you shout down a conservative, you're practicing freedom of speech.
If you shout down, not even shout down a liberal, but if you just show your dissatisfaction with their policies, you're obviously a racist.
But anyway, I don't want to spend too much time on it, but thumbs up to the NASCAR fans, as Scoop would agree.
Check it out on YouTube.
You can watch the booze yourself.
Pete, what else do you got for us tonight?
Well, last week we talked about the TV show coming onto the Learning Channel called All-American Muslims.
I subjected myself to watching two episodes of this show.
Okay, well, now you're getting somewhere.
Now, I haven't had the opportunity.
I'm not a masochist, so I didn't do it.
But thankfully, Pete went behind the enemy lines.
You actually watched it.
How is it?
Is it as bad as we thought it might be, or better, worse?
It's just as bad.
Here's a suggestion for the Learning Channel.
They should rename the show The Real Housewives of Dearborn.
But as far as reality shows goes, the reality shows about people on the show that people at home could relate to or say, hey, I like watching this person.
Or, yeah, I can relate to that guy.
Or this guy reminds me of this other person.
But not on All American Muslims.
There's not one interesting person on the show.
There is one lady who is a practicing Muslim, and she doesn't wear a hijab or a burqa.
And she's very glamorous.
She dresses very well.
And, you know, it's very successful as the business she's in.
And needs to say, other people on the show look down upon her because she does dress flashy.
She does look glamorous.
And she is a self-sufficient woman.
And then she wanted to open a dance club in Dearborn.
And one of the elders told her that it wouldn't probably be a very good idea.
If the Learning Channel was trying to say that these people are just like you and me and the political listeners, they're not doing a very good job.
The ladies were talking about how they need to wear the hijab or the scarf because that's what the Quran says.
These people really don't do much of anything except talk about Islam.
There was one Irish Catholic gentleman who was dating a Muslim.
And the girl, the Muslim lady, did not wear a scarf.
But she said, well, if you want to get married, you've got to convert to Islam.
So the religionist peace demands that if you want to marry a Muslim, you must be a Muslim.
So this Irish Catholic gentleman, who is a very masculine, in my opinion, he converts to Islam, and his mother's there from Chicago, Illinois.
She's actually crying.
And so he converts to Islam.
And they have the wedding in a place that's owned by Muslims.
And any catering hall in Dearborn that's owned by Muslims do not serve alcohol.
So needless to say, you have a whole bunch of Irish Catholics coming to this Islamic wedding and no booze.
Of course, they show one clown who says, oh, we don't need booze at a wedding.
It's just fun.
He is lying through his teeth.
When I got married, the first two words out of my mouth concerning the arrangements was open bar.
Period.
And I think another thing I noticed is that I think one scene was staged.
A couple is a man and a wife were going to a restaurant that was for breakfast.
I believe it was Sunday morning.
And they're standing in line, and the camera shot was far, far away.
And they're, I guess, being ignored by everybody else, you know, just like back in the 50s where blacks women used to serve on Launch Counter.
But what got me was that I watched this twice.
This was on demand through my cable provider.
And I was watching, and I said, okay, here, a camera crew is at the other end of this restaurant shooting film.
And these people are being ignored by the hosting staff of this restaurant.
And I said to myself, this has got to be staged.
The restaurant's busy.
You got a camera crew there.
And I'm sure the camera crew had to make arrangements with the management staff and says, hey, we're shooting this TV show.
Can we stand on the other side of the restaurant?
Because if I'm running a local IHOP and a camera crew comes in, and I'm going to have to ask some questions.
And with most reality shows, if you notice, if a character from the show is going into a room, there's a camera at the other end.
You see the door open into that office where the actor or reality starter is running going and handling his or her business.
Scoop, we're running out of time.
I tell you, write up a draft.
We'll get that posted to the politicalsuccesspool.org.
But I appreciate you following up on that story.
It's just another politically correct thing.
The clip, the advertisement of it all, folks, was just this Muslim woman going on a plane, and somebody looked at her funny, and she told them how stupid and ignorant they were, and how she was a PhD, and she was going to educate stupid Americans like her who didn't think you should go on an airplane wearing nothing but you couldn't see anything but your eyes.
Anyway, I'm out of time, folks.
James Edwards, on behalf of the entire staff and crew here in Memphis and Utah, we love you.
