7pm EST: We will take a tour of the blogs and highlight a few of our favorite posts from last week. We will focus on the real civil war the Democrats should be focused on, the one happening within their own ranks.
Gregg is interested in Peter Beinart’s new book The Good Fight : Why Liberals—and Only Liberals—Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again.
A Liberal Vision for American Power
When liberals finally got their shot at George W. Bush in 2004, it turned out that Americans didn’t much care which candidate could recite his six- point plan for safeguarding loose nuclear material. They gravitated to the man with a vision of national greatness in a threatening world, something liberals have not had in a very long time.
The argument of this book is that there is such a liberal vision, and today’s progressives can find it in the heritage they have tried to escape.
I’ve been fascinated by what is happening with Joe Lieberman. Bull Moose, the unofficial blog sponsored by the Democratic Leadership Council, is obviously, going to bat for Joementum,
Make no mistake, if the left is successful with Joe, they will be coming after other centrists. They will be emboldened. All of this is grand news for the Republicans. One would think that the big political story would be the GOP holding onto power for dear life. Instead, the new narrative that is emerging is about the national Deaniac left telling Democratic hawks to beat it. The lefties’ goal is a McGovernite party without the Scoop wing.
I am in complete agreement with David Frum who wrote on National Review,
It’s a hatred reinforced by repetition and intensified by echo-chamber unanimity. It’s a hatred ungrounded upon any clear foundation of reason, undirected to any political purpose.
8PM: Ann Coulter
We will be asking Ann about the plagarism accusations that have been thrown at her this week. Not surprisingly, many on the right are coming to her defense. What is incredibly surprising is who else is coming to her defense, The Daily Kos himself,
Coulter is a lot of things, but it doesn’t look like plagiarism is one of them
9PM: Blackfive and Someone You Should Know
Our weekly collaboration to bring the inspirational, true stories of the men and women that are fighting for us around the world to the radio.
Last week we profiled the incredible story of Jason Cuningham. Several days later, we received this note from his sister Lori,
My name is Lori Marquis I am the sister of Jason Cunningham who was recently featured on your show as â?ÂSomeone you should knowâ? I have to say I am incredibly proud of Matt he really did his research on my brother and he got everything right and for that I truly thank him. One of the classroomâ??s at Lackland AFB was recently named after Jason and that in itself meant so much to his family since the loss of him there have been many memorialâ??s and sites named after him and each time it is a truly amazing honor but I can not tell how much it meant to and sit and listen to your broadcast and share with the world what a great hero he was. I also think it is so awesome what you do with this segment everyday I watch the news and see a small bleep about a fallen solider my heart sinks for there family for I know the long road they face. So this broadcast is an amazing way to tell people that there son,husband,father or brother will not be forgotten. Thank You so much for the comfort you bring to otherâ??s this experinece with be with me foreverâ?¦
Thank You
Lori (Cunningham) Marquis
