Podcast defends culture

Our feature interview is with the author of "Culturism", John Press, who says if we don't believe we have the right to defend our own culture, then we'll lose it. Which would be bad. For everyone.

The book is available at his website and at Amazon dot com.

In this week's show, we mark the passing of William F Buckley, discuss the UK government's much-feared new anti-jihadi strategy of making terrorists sit on the naughty seat, now that Kosovo is independent, how long will California remain part of the United States,and we have excerpts from this remarkable You Tube video of a group of students watching growing increasingly incredulous as the BBC resolutely refuses to do its job and cover breaking news.

Meryl Yourish is along with a handy guide for perplexed US voters.

Hollywood conservative comedian, Evan Sayet, is along to clue us in as to why people are avoiding Tinseltown's anti-war borefests.

Congratulations also to one of our regular contributors, Damian Penny, whose blog, Daimnation, has been ranked as 8th in the list of Canada's top 25 political blogs. The "A Dime A Dozen" blog used a combination of web traffic and Alexa ranking to work out which websites are most influential. In first place was, naturally Mark Steyn , and the wonderful Kate McMillan's Small Dead Animals came in at number four.

Just behind Damian Penny in tenth place is the absolutely brilliant Kathy Shaidle with Five Feet of Fury, and all of them managed to top Canada's answer to Lionel Hutz,Warren Kinsella who limped home at number 24.

That's brought back the horrible memory - which I'd thus far, with a combination of hard psychoactive narcotics and electro-convulsive therapy, managed to suppress - of how I was attacked by a fucking T-rex whilst watching Alvin and the Chimpmunks.

Thanks a lot.

Two of your hosts mentioned that John McCain is pro-choice. I don't where you guys got this idea. On his website, he clearly says that he hopes Roe v. Wade will be overturned. That's not something very pro-choice.

I just watched the last season of BBC's MI-5.  I know you guys have been busy, with children, moves, infighting, etc.  - but you really missed this one.

Perhaps you stopped watching.  That is no excuse.  That's why our enemies are winning.  This vile anti-American production makes me question British solidarity.

Talk about America alone.  If you haven't seen it, you better.

Shire news network usually hit it right on, except the Kosovo issue.  If there was a need for a people to declare independence, it Kosovo.  Sure Kosovo has a history of drawing Jihadist fighters to it defense, sure Serbia rightly feel aggreived that they are being outbreeded and marginalized, sure those were historically Serbian lands...but as a people, you can't be governed by a government that is bent on the destruction and expulsion via real or implied genocide on your communities wherever they are.  When a government no longer gurantees your safety but contrives to snuff it out, you need to declare independence in the self interest of survival, the most basic human freedom.

 My heartfelt condolence to Serbia even though your ex president Milošević was such a bastard, you will have bunk mates soon because the senario will play again and again out throughout Europe in the next 20 - 30 years.  Hard choices.

The bit with the earthquake and the BBC was very funny!
