Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
Here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
And welcome, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's great to be coming back to you live yet again from AM 1380 WLRM Studios in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
Broadcasting to you this evening.
Saturday, December the 17th, just one week shy from Christmas Eve.
And we hope that everybody is getting into the special spirit of the season, and we're going to help you do just that as the program rolls on tonight for its schedule of three hours as we go out to the AMFM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
And of course, we're simulcasting online tonight to our worldwide fan base via the internet at thepoliticalcesspool.org, our official internet headquarters, thepoliticalcesspool.org, where you can stay tuned to the show via its archives anytime you wish, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You don't have to wait till the Saturday night live show, thanks to the archives, courtesy of Liberty News Radio.
And you can follow the stories that we're tracking in the news and read our unique take on these big stories at thepoliticalcesspool.org.
And of course, every Saturday night, we feature many of the stories that we post for you on the website during the week.
So it's your one-stop shop to stay connected with what we're doing in between our air dates.
Again, everybody, welcome to the program tonight.
James Edwards is a flying solo this first hour.
As I mentioned, it is just one week till Christmas, and many of my volunteer staff are taking the night off to tend to pressing affairs of state and their family getting ready for the big day.
And let me just say that their priorities are in order.
We should all cherish this time with our loved ones.
Every day presents the perfect opportunity to do that.
But I think we just all put a little more emphasis when days like Christmas come around, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
You can't let the most important things in life pass you by.
And certainly that's those treasured moments with your children, your wife, your husband.
And politics is certainly a distant second to that, although very important still.
And that's why I'm here tonight, to bring you the show before going home and catching up on family time myself.
I actually had a great time today with my wife and daughter.
We went out and got pictures taken today.
We had a photographer come in and we just ran around the town square here in our little suburb and got some really great pictures.
I can't wait to see what those look like.
But I was, you know, certainly doing the family thing myself before coming into work tonight.
And then look forward to getting home a little bit past 9 o'clock Central Time after we go off the air and getting back into the thick of things.
We have got a treasure chest under the Christmas tree this year.
It's just littered with presents and we're looking forward to starting.
Actually, tomorrow night we will have our first family function of the Christmas season going over to my aunt's house.
And then of course next week, in-laws and parents and brother and cousins.
And it's going to be very busy here at the Edwards household.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be talking about Christmas tonight.
I'm going to read to you the Christmas story tonight from the King James Version of the Bible.
The very last segment of the show.
A little teaser.
That's three hours from now nearly.
But we're going to get into that because this is the last show that we'll have before Christmas.
Next week is, of course, Saturday night, Christmas Eve.
And we will be, as we did last year, playing a tape.
Last year, Christmas Day fell on a Saturday, this year, Christmas Eve.
Nevertheless, we're going to be out.
And it's just that one time a year that we take a night off.
We're here every other time.
We're going to play a great selection from our broadcast archives.
And you'll still be able to tune in and listen to it, although it just won't be live.
And we will resume live production of the show.
We plan to, at least, at this point, on New Year's Eve.
And stay tuned to our website for further announcements to that end.
Speaking of Christmas, you know, it's a time when you let the people you love know exactly how much you love them.
And at the risk of sounding grossly repetitive, because I know we did this for a while last week, but I want to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, in the listening audience for giving me the opportunity to do what I love doing, and that's bring you this radio show.
Without your support, it certainly wouldn't be possible.
I know last week we shared a story with you that a valued listener from St. Louis, Mark, drove down all the way from Missouri to Memphis to visit with us, and he was in the studio last week, and we had a great time with him.
It's always such a pleasure to meet the people who value our work.
I know that one of my co-hosts this week had lunch, I believe, with another listener in Arkansas who drove into Memphis and they had a bite to eat together.
And folks, you just don't know how much we appreciate you.
You got a couple of emails here I'd like to read before the end of the first segment, and then we're going to get down to business.
But, you know, we always talk about the variety and dare I say the diversity of the political cesspool listening audience.
It's a southern show, but by no means are all of our listeners residents of the South.
We have listeners truly all over the world, and this email comes from one of them.
He writes, Dear James, and I got this just a couple of days ago, I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas holiday and a successful new year.
I download your show every week and listen to it on my way to work here in Sweden.
I enjoy every minute of it.
Yours faithfully, Jamie.
So for Jamie, our friend and fan in Sweden, who never misses a show, never misses a show all the way out in Sweden.
God bless you and Merry Christmas to you.
This email actually came into the network, but I was so moved by it that I wanted to be sure to read it tonight.
This comes from a listener in Georgia by the name of Walt, and Walt writes, for years I've downloaded the political cesspool MP3 files into my MP3 player.
And when I lived in North Carolina, I climbed up a dirt trail to a mountain ridge every evening, accompanied by my dogs, who were accompanied by several other local dogs, all of whom I've fed dog treats packed into the pockets of my old field jacket.
And while they enjoyed their treats and biscuits climbing up that hill, I enjoyed listening to the political cesspool.
In September of last year, I moved to North Georgia and now live in a little house on the Chestese River.
My dogs are gone.
There are no trails, just the river.
And now I'm an old geezer, just turned 77.
So when I crawl into my old bed, it reminds me of crawling into a foxhole long ago and far away.
The crummy mattress and my old bones makes the bed feel like the bottom of a foxhole.
But in the dark, I turn on my MP3 player and listen to James Edwards and his guests.
Like people who go to bed and watch a TV mounted on the wall.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, that very vivid email comes from Walt in Georgia, Walt in Georgia, Jamie in Sweden, everyone else who has taken the time to write in this week and, frankly, throughout the history of our show, the nearly eight years now we've been on the air.
We appreciate you always.
We appreciate you at Christmas just a little bit more.
And, you know, as I wrote on the radio show website this week, an anonymous quote, a quote I just happened to pick up this week, and I thought it applied to all of us here.
With the truth comes responsibility, which is why everyone dreads it.
And I'm very blessed to host this radio program that attracts listeners like these two folks I just told you about who can face the truth and accept the duty that follows it.
Those who best understand the strength of a tide are those with the courage to swim against it.
I'm proud to be one of you, and it's an honor to serve you.
We have built something very special here together.
You look back, and I know we speak of it frequently, the success that this show has been able to attain.
Folks, you make it all possible.
We love you.
We're going to take a break and we're going to get down to business right after this.
Stay tuned.
after these messages.
If you're at all like me, you have a tough time remembering appointments and events.
But ladies and gentlemen, I have the answer.
It's a premiere service on the internet called MemoToMe.
It's free.
You ought to try it.

Memo to me.
I think that my family has always had a big influence on me for not smoking because since I was little I was taught that smoking was wrong.
And in school, from a very young age, I was taught that smoking was not acceptable.
Recent studies indicate that smoking among teens often leads to the use of alcohol and other drugs.
I think smoking, for everybody, no matter what you say, leads to other things because it just opens the door wider and wider.
Other studies have found that if you don't smoke in high school, you probably never will.
I think having faith in God is a big part in it because the way I was raised has helped.
And having the faith in God while I was raised and knowing that there would always be somebody there for me has helped to avoid smoking.
Smoking.
If you think you're old enough to start, you're smart enough to stop.

Jump in the Political Cess Pool with James and the Game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
I'll share with you a little sneak peek from behind the scenes as we go into this next segment.
It wasn't until just a few hours before the radio program tonight that I learned that I'd be flying solo this hour.
Normally, obviously, I'm joined by my loyal and faithful co-host, but family matters came up and he had to tend to those, and that's certainly more than understandable.
In fact, that's the only way I'd have it.
But nevertheless, it left me scrambling to get things filled and to replace that which we had prepared to discuss.
But I want to share with you now one of the things we were going to talk about this hour was Ron Paul.
In fact, we're going to spend the entire hour handicapping the GOP primary primaries as they rapidly approach us.
The caucuses in Iowa are only two weeks away, I believe.
It's just right around the corner.
Can you believe another presidential campaign season is here now?
Not in the near future, but literally within just days.
And we had planned to spend a lot of time talking about Ron Paul.
I'm still going to talk about Ron Paul, just going to deviate from the set agenda briefly.
And what I want to share with you, first of all, before we get into Ron Paul himself, is you know that Ron Paul was, I don't know, banned, if you want to say that.
He wasn't invited, nevertheless, to participate in the recently held Republican Jewish Coalition Forum.
All of the other candidates were invited to speak there, including many of those who do not have the solid poll numbers that Ron Paul has.
And most every poll I've seen lately, he's either leading in Iowa or at least in the top three in other states.
And he wasn't invited because the sponsors of the event claimed that Ron Paul was an extremist, basically, for advocating that we have an America first foreign policy.
And because of that, he was ineligible to speak at their gathering.
Well, I sent this out in an email today promoing the show, or I guess it was yesterday, maybe it was this morning.
I don't know.
Days run together this time of year.
If you have a weak stomach, you might want to turn down your radio as we play this following video clip.
This video clip, by the way, is featured right now at thepoliticalcesspool.org.
It's entitled, appropriately enough, Watch as the GOP Contenders Grotesquely Pander to Israel.
What we have for you in the video and what you're about to hear via audio is compilation footage, courtesy of Jon Stewart of the Daily Show, of several of the Republican presidential candidates falling all over themselves in a competition to prove which of them loves Israel the most.
Wouldn't it be nice if any of these candidates actually cared about America or put America's vital interests first?
If you can handle it, take a close listen over the course of the next six minutes as we play this clip and listen as these clowns make utter fools of themselves at the Republican Jewish Coalition Forum.
Hit it, my friends.
Actually, talk of the war on Christmas brings me to a fun fact.
Did you know that not all Americans celebrate Christmas?
It's true.
Many American Jews celebrate a completely different holiday called How Come We Don't Get to Celebrate Christmas?
I keep.
It's actually called the Republican Jewish Coalition Forum.
It's celebrated every four years.
For this holiday, Jews commemorate the miracle of incredibly religious Christian presidential candidates fighting over who loves Jews more.
And lo, God provided the Hebrews two good-looking Mormons, though they had prayed for but one.
Well, to be honest, none.
They wanted Giuliani, but that's not going to happen.
So who will win the Tuchis kiss-off?
Karen and I have been to Israel.
We bought one of those tiles that said, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
And we have that on our kitchen right above our sanctuary.
Ah!
So Santorum opens with, I have one of your tchotchas.
And I was also thinking about buying one of them glass birds that looks like they're drinking.
Maybe it has a little tiny top hat that says Israel, but you know, wouldn't fit in the luggage.
Can anyone top Santorum?
I feel, as Cheryl shared with you, a very special connection to Israel when I first visited the Holy Land.
Repeatedly been to the Western Wall, that most sacred symbol of where Jewish pilgrims gather to pray today.
Nice.
Anybody can grab a souvenir tile at the duty-free at the airport.
You went to a ruin.
That's going to be tough to beat.
The day after I graduated from high school, I left and I took a plane and I went to work on a kibbutz.
Holy shiksu, we have a winner!
Oh my gosh!
She worked!
She worked on a kibbutz!
Michelle Bachman loves Israel so much, she was willing to join a socialist collective.
Wow.
So you love Israel.
But what would you as president do for Israel?
Strategic aid in all forms under a Perry administration will increase to Israel.
The United States will stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, period.
Iran's Ayatollahs will not be permitted to obtain nuclear weapons.
The United States will move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
I will get on a plane on my first day as president to Jerusalem and put a Palestinian in a headlock.
I will give them a wedgie.
Nurple Torple.
Bachman is killing it.
Let's check in on how she's doing on the Yamakometer.
Oh, Samuel.
Oh, she's doing.
Oh, you're really.
Woo!
Superstar of David!
Wow!
All she really needs to do now is stick the landing at the end of her speech.
Hit it!
Shallow Malacca.
All right, though, good for you.
Nice to throw down a little of the Hebrew at a Jewish forum.
was nice that takes a lot of um he has a lot of chutzpah yeah Yeah, yeah.
I was going to say chutzpah.
I was going to say kajones, but okay.
In the end, the big winner at the forum was one Newt Gingrich, who received state of the union-esque applause, standing ovations, and the kind of laughter that Jackie Mason would kill for and has.
I will, in the acceptance speech, challenge the president to seven three-hour debates.
I will concede in advance that he can use a teleprompter.
Did you hear that?
We did not add the lady going, yeah!
That's how funny Jews think teleprompter jokes are.
Could Mitt Romney, Newt's main rival, match him?
He got applause.
He actually too got a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Things are looking good for Mitt.
Remember the George Costanza line.
When they're laughing and applauding, you sit down.
That's oh, misquoting Seinfeld in front of a Jewish audience.
That's going to cost you.
See, first of all, it's not a George Costanza line.
It's Jerry's line.
Showmanship, George.
When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off.
And you got the line wrong.
And be like standing up there going, like the fascist soup vendor used to say, I'm afraid that I am out of delicious soup.
Youberg.
How does that affect Romney's rank on the Yama Cometer?
Oh, he's at Real Manchin.
Oh, he's down.
Oh, I have no candidate!
I have no candidate.
Interestingly, the one candidate absent from the debate was Ron Paul.
He's doing very well on the polls.
But according to RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks, Paul was left out because the Republican Jewish Council rejects his misguided and extreme views on Israel.
Oh, wow, misguided and extreme.
Oh my God.
Has he suggested Israel has no right to exist or that it'd be exchanged for Rhode Island and a state to be named later?
Paul, would you cut aid to Israel?
I would cut all foreign aid.
I would treat everybody equally and fairly.
Good call.
Not inviting any presidential candidates to your forum who might disagree with you.
Wouldn't want to turn it into a debate.
You know, if there's one thing Jews can't stand, it's arguing.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the live show, John.
That was Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
Six-minute clip.

We're going to revisit it, and I'm going to break it down for you after these words from our sponsors.

We gotta get out of this place.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
We made it into that commercial break just as that six-minute clip from the Daily Show was ending.
And during it, I realized it was a video and not an audio clip, although we made it an audio clip.
But it really doesn't do it 100% justice.
If you really want to get the full effect of what you just heard, you need to go to thepolitical cesspool.org and watch the video that's contained in the blog entry entitled, Watch as the GOP Contenders Grotesquely Pander to Israel.
And this did come from Jon Stewart, who obviously happens to be a comedian, a Jewish comedian, which is the reason obviously he's able to make fun of these candidates in such a manner.
But at the same time, you have to give credit where credit is due.
Jon Stewart did an excellent segment there, and he really pointed out some of the things that we need pointed out more often.
As Richard Spencer wrote about this very clip, Richard Spencer of Alternative Rights, say what you will about Jon Stewart, but whatever else he might be, he's certainly brave.
He makes criticizing Israel, Zionism, and American foreign policy funny and cool.
And it's hard to imagine that he won't have to suffer some consequences.
Note that in the video clip that we just played for you, Rick Perry brags about increasing aid to Israel, despite the fact that a month ago he was claiming that in his administration, the foreign aid budgets to all nations would start at zero.
And again, John Stewart, to his credit, brings this out on a very popular television program, very mainstream indeed.
And during that clip, I know again, since it was audio and not video, you might have had a hard time knowing which candidates were doing the pandering.
Basically, they all were pandering except for Ron Paul, who again was not invited.
But you heard from, I believe, In Order, Rick Santorum.
You heard from Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, all just there at this Jewish coalition forum pandering to Israel.
Why doesn't anyone pander to America?
You know, that would be nice.
That would be nice.
But that's not what's happened.
And we're going to get in again to Ron Paul in just a little bit later on in the show.
We're going to handicap his chances.
And lo and behold, walking into the studio, I didn't think he was going to show up tonight, but here he is.
You never can miss with this guy.
And I'm glad he's here because it's perfect timing.
I was just about to get into a story about Tim Teba.
But before we segue away from all of this pandering done at the Republican Jewish Coalition Forum, let me welcome back to the Political Assessment Radio Program my co-host Keith Alexander, who must have gotten his family duties done in a timely fashion because here he is reporting into work even though he wasn't scheduled.
Keith, you can't keep a good man down.
True enough, as May West said.
Let me just make this comment about all the pandering to Israel.
I was really, I just wish that I could have been Newt Gingrich for a millisecond during that debate the other night when Michelle Bachman started attacking him and suggesting that he wasn't as committed to Israel as she was.
Excuse me, no, Ron Paul, not Newt Gingrich, but Ron Paul.
Here's what Ron Paul should have said to her.
He should have said, you know, you pretend incessantly to reverence the founding fathers, but apparently your reverence doesn't include foreign policy because the foreign policy of the founding fathers would never have supported our current position regarding Israel.
For example, Washington's farewell address where he said that the surest way for us to destroy our republic was to fight foreign wars and to allow ourselves to have entangling alliances with foreign nations.
And last but not least, having favorite nation status with any foreign nation.
Now, if that doesn't describe our current policy with Israel, I don't know what does, but all these people, the entire Republican field professes to hold this deep and almost holy reverence for the Founding Fathers.
But the Founding Fathers, you know, they would never have tolerated this pandering to Israel or any other nation.
And Ron Paul just wants to treat all nations the same.
He's never said that he has some type of animus towards Israel.
Now, James, what's going on with all these people in the Republican Party?
Fundamentalists, I think, have lost their minds.
And I hate to say that because I know you, my friend, are a fundamentalist.
But what is it about fundamentalists that have caused them to embrace this crazy heresy called Jewish dispensationalism that the Jews can do no wrong?
Hugh blesses Israel, is blessed.
Hugh curses Israel is cursed.
And every Republican candidate, even the ones that are not Christian fundamentalists, seem to ascribe to this notion.
Well, it's a very big question, Keith.
And I certainly don't think that these people like Bachman and Perry and so on and so forth are pandering to Israel because they are devout Christians.
I think that they certainly, like most politicians, feign Christianity, feign having religious sympathies with most of their constituents in order to curry favor with their, you know, somewhat curry favor with their base.
But they're certainly not pandering to Israel because they're Christians and they subscribe to that.
They know what side their bread's buttered on.
Well, that's right.
I mean, it's all about political expediency.
They know where the money is coming from.
It's not because they are misled Christians that they're doing this.
But, you know, again, as we said with Bill, there is a lot of apostasy in the church these days.
Bill Rowland covered this a couple of weeks ago when I was out of town, and he covered it very well.
And I know a lot of people today take issue with the Christian faith because of a lot of this apostasy.
And you have this thing where apparently, in order to get to heaven, you have to, first of all, worship Jewish folks more than Jesus Christ himself.
Jesus Christ doesn't even rank, in fact, in some of these megachurches when it comes to who you're supposed to worship.
And then, of course, in order to get to heaven, you have to have 13% black congregation, 10% Hispanic congregation, 7% Oriental congregation.
You've got to have a few homosexuals in there in order to be to be a diverse church in order to be a real church, according to them.
Obviously, that's not the kind of Christian faith that I subscribe to.
It's nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to have these types of churches.
Certainly it doesn't say that the only way to get to heaven is to worship Israel.
And furthermore, let me say this: if being racially exclusive disqualifies you from being a good Christian, then certainly black churches are disqualified because they have no interest at all in integrating their congregations.
In fact, all of these white fundamentalist churches that seem to be hungering so, and mainline Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church for that matter, all hunger for black members.
But blacks aren't interested.
They don't have integrated congregations because blacks aren't interested in joining their churches.
They have enough of a sense of racial solidarity that they like their racially exclusive churches just fine.
Just like everything else in life, there's a double standard when it comes to churches, just like there is with everything else politically.
Only white churches are stigmatized for being too white.
You certainly don't see everybody beating down black churches to make sure there's an appropriate number of white congregants there.
Never has a synagogue come under fire because there's not enough non-Jews in there.
And this is, again, you understand this.
But folks, I don't want to chase this rabbit.
We've chased it quite a bit in recent weeks and months.
And in fact, it's been a recurring theme all year.
But, you know, I can certainly work with people who don't share my faith.
In fact, you know, again, when you're talking about a lot of these apostate congregants, I sometimes feel more comfortable around people who agree with my politics rather than those who say they share my faith, but are doing everything they can to undermine it.
And so, you know, at the same time, though, Western culture, the biggest advancements made by Western civilization were made when it accepted as its own the faith of Christianity, the Christian faith.
As the Western nations, as the European nations, as America begins to become more and more secularized, you see how things are certainly unraveling.
So while I'm certainly comfortable working with people who are not Christians, this is a Christian show.
We are Christians here.
But we have problems with this, and we certainly have problems with all of this incessant pandering that goes on to Israel by people, candidates who claim to be Christians or otherwise.
Now, again, it's a little haphazard tonight.
Keith coming in now.
And, you know, we had had a lunch earlier this week, as we always do, to talk about what we're going to talk about tonight.
And we had planned this long, hour-long showcase on Ron Paul this hour and, you know, why we like him and what questions we might have about him.
And we're going to get into that.
We're going to try to jam, we're going to condense an hour-long presentation into one segment as best we can.
And then we're going to revisit Ron Paul a little later in the show.
We're going to have a grassroots political activist come on and share with you why he thinks Ron Paul just may be able to surprise people in some of these early primaries.
And if he does, what does that mean on the overall presidential race, the Republican presidential race in 2012?
We're going to get into that in a second hour, but first, Keith is going to break down for you the pros and cons of Ron Paul, who I would say is the only person you should consider voting for in the GOP field.
But Keith may disagree with me.

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 Poll, James Edwards.
Welcome back, everybody.
Welcome back to the Political Cess Poll Race Program.
Pleased and surprised to be joined by Keith Alexander tonight, who took care of family duties a little bit more quickly than he anticipated he would be able to.
And now here he is.
And so we are once again amending the agenda for the show on the fly.
But I'm happy to be able to do it because it means working Keith in.
And that's no work at all.
You know, we're talking, of course, about the pandering that went on by these Republican candidates at the recent Republican Jewish Coalition Forum for years now.
You know, we have, I believe, I think it's safe to say that we objectively, objectively, being the keyword, criticize Israel and America's uneven foreign policy in the Middle East.
I don't think it's an America first foreign policy, so I take issue with it.
It was interesting, though, that when I posted this piece about the Republicans pandering to the Jewish Forum and why I had problems with that, that within literally an hour of each other, I had an email come in from one listener who said that he was never going to listen to the show again because I'm too much of an anti-Semite.
And he used this email or this article about my disdain for this Republican pandering as evidence of our anti-Semitism.
So he says, never going to listen to the show again because I'm an anti-Semite.
And then I get an email from another guy saying, okay, you know, you're tackling this, but you're not tackling it nearly hard enough.
You're way too soft on Israel.
You give them way too much lax.
And, you know, come on, folks.
It can't be both.
We can't please everybody.
We're America first, no more, no less.
And, you know, we try to give you the best political commentary we can when we're tackling these taboo subjects.
And hopefully that's enough.
But anyway, Keith, we wanted to get into, and I say that because later on in the show, I'm going to tell you about an email, this isn't really related to this, or a column, I should say, written by a rabbi who says that Tim Tebow's success will lead to increased hatred and gay bashing and mosque burning.
It's just really out there.
We're going to get to that later.
But Keith and I were talking about Ron Paul at this lunch we had earlier in the week.
And, you know, I think Ron Paul is the only guy we can vote for.
And again, we're going to talk more about Ron Paul in the second hour.
Keith has some problems with Ron Paul.
And Keith thinks that if we had a Republican candidate that would use some of the government bureaucracy, if we could elect such a candidate that would use these instruments in our favor, perhaps that would be better than a guy that's going to go in here and torch all of these institutions.
And I said to Keith, well, unfortunately, we don't have that choice.
We have a choice of electing someone who's going to go in there and continue to use these institutions against us, like the EEOC, for instance, or we can get Ron Paul in there that's going to go in there and potentially have a chance to cut them down.
And, you know, again, despite the fact that we agree on so much, we don't agree on everything.
The freedom of speech exists here in this radio studio just as much as we would wish it would exist across the country and around the world.
And so Keith, as much as he likes Ron Paul, has some objections, and I'm going to share those with you because I'd like to let each of the members of the staff speak their mind, even if it's perhaps something that I don't agree 100% with.
So Keith, take it away.
You have some very good points to make.
Thanks, James.
Our problem, at least my problem with Ron Paul is this.
Ron Paul is a libertarian.
A libertarian, that is the most liberal part of conservatism.
Liberalism is a modern face of evil.
That's one of our patented bylines here at the political cesspool.
And the way that libertarianism deals with certain issues is objectionable to us generally.
But on the other hand, I will agree that out of the current crop of Republican presidential contenders, Ron Paul is the best of the bunch.
Our problem, or at least my problem with Ron Paul, is this.
Ron Paul is going to be great in terms of foreign policy.
It's amazing to me that you can be accused of being an anti-Semite when you're basically an advocate for equal treatment for Jews and everyone else.
In other words, Jews, Muslims, Christians, everybody gets treated equally by our government.
Our government is not going to be the captive of any particular group or nation.
This is what the founding fathers intended.
And all of the Republican candidates profess to be true believers in constitutionalism and almost worshipful admirers of the Founding Fathers.
But, of course, they totally ignore the fact that the Founding Fathers could never condone the type of foreign policy that puts Israel first, head and shoulders above every other nation, and basically allows us to offend every other nation in the Mideast by our exclusive devotion to the cause of the state of Israel.
Don't ever let anybody tell you that we're in the Middle East because of oil.
If we were in the Middle East because of oil, why in the world would we be have a foreign policy that favors the one nation in the Middle East that doesn't have a drop of oil on it, thereby offending every nation in the Middle East that does export oil?
So never let, you know, that's just such a transparent falsehood.
I don't see how anybody could go for it.
Here's the problem with Ron Paul that I see.
As time passes by and I'm seeing my children, when I'm seeing other people's children being frozen out of the job market because of multiculturalism, diversity, and affirmative action.
And in particular, these programs that seem to be just rampant in today's corporate America and in the professions where they give, you know, there's anti-white, anti-male bias running rampant in corporate America today.
The corporations brag that they have a special diversity program and that they have now hired a certain percentage of blacks or a certain percentage of non-white males.
And of course, whenever they make progress there, we're talking about a zero-sum game.
Companies do not have unlimited numbers of jobs.
So if they are setting aside jobs for minorities, then white males are basically suffering.
And as a result, and they're suffering unfairly because if we had a fair competition where nobody's race was considered whatsoever in terms of intelligence, in terms of test scores, in terms of academic achievement, whites, and particularly white males, could do very well, thank you.
But we're facing anti-white bias.
How did you get to have that anti-white bias?
You got to have anti-white bias because of the civil rights movement and the backwash from the things like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the OC using government power to coerce companies into doing yeah can you hear us now Sam?
All right.
We had a little technical difficulties there Keith for the last second or two so pick it up right there.
Okay.
We've got problems because we had government coercion.
Basically companies before discriminated in favor of white males.
But nobody ever told the American people that what we were going to do in the civil rights movement was move seamlessly into a new world in which whites would be the victims of discrimination.
Government started this problem.
We're going to need government programs and government bureaucracies like the EOC to undo it.
And of course, shrinking government, which is what Ron Paul proposes, would do nothing to cure what ails white America today.
The dispossession would continue apace.
Now, let me chime in here as we round this hour out.
And I apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the audio disruption there for a couple of minutes of Keith's commentary.
It seems as though we have that fixed now.
But what Keith was basically saying was that, yes, Ron Paul offers a lot of good things that we can like.
Unfortunately, we're so far behind right now in the game that we would actually need someone to assume the office of the president and use a lot of these existing governmental departments to help level the playing field and help reverse many of the trends that have been so anti-white for so long.
And while I certainly agree with Keith, the point that I made to him at lunch and the point that I'd like to reiterate now is that unfortunately, we just don't have that option.
I don't think Rick Perry, I know Newt Gingrich and many of these others will not go in there and be our guy that's going to use the EEOC to level the playing field and get rid of affirmative action and reverse discrimination.
Ron Paul might not do it either, but if he could go in there and give us a trillion dollars worth of cuts, if he could go in there and get rid of five of these departments, I will take that versus the alternative when the alternative isn't someone going in there and using these departments as you wish they would, Keith.
So Keith, you got 30 seconds to respond and tell us who you're going to vote for.
Okay, here's the situation.
At least the other candidates would not dismantle the EEOC and other government agencies that have created this transformation in American society that is so bad for white people.
We need to have those institutions in place so we can use them for the purpose for which they were supposedly intended, which is to end racial discrimination.
Unfortunately, most of the racial discrimination in America today is anti-white racial discrimination.
So consequently, if Ron Paul gets in there and he does successfully shrink government, the status quo is going to be anti-white forever.
Well, that may be.
And Keith, I agree with you, and I know where you're going with this, but what I'm saying is none of the any candidate that we elect besides Ron Paul is going to continue to use these agencies.
Unfortunately, they're going to continue to use these agencies to perpetuate the discrimination that we currently face as a people.
If there was a candidate out there, let's just say, for instance, Rick Perry was this candidate, and I know that he's not, but if he said, listen, I'm going to go in there and I'm going to use the EEOC to end reverse discrimination.
We're going to make sure that this doesn't continue.
Then I would say, okay, let's look at this guy instead of Ron Paul.
But that's not where he stands.
And there isn't a candidate that's out there like that right now.
Maybe there will be in the future, but we've got to do a lot more in a hurry to reach that sort of critical mass.
But it's a very interesting conversation, and I'm glad Keith injected this dialogue into the debate.
We're going to take a break.
We'll be back with much, much more tonight as the political cesspool rolls on.
Stay tuned, everybody.
They were jumping views and shouting, Hallelujah!
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon, and Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his fruit and the balloons.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his britch's leg unobserved to the other side of the room.
