Attending a reception at the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary debate in January, a candidate vying for the seat of retiring Congressman Henry Brown of SC’s 1st Congressional District was ribbing me about something I had said on the radio and added, with a smile, “I want to get you on my side.” At that [...]
Mike Church is a rarity in talk radio. In a world where cheering Republicans and bashing Democrats is not only standard but almost expected, Church bashes both, taking on not only the obviously bad Left, but the often equally bad-yet unequally addressed-Right. Whereas some talk hosts clamor for “conservative victory” in 2010 and 2012, by [...]

Why in the hell is Karl Rove on my TV? Why is Karl Rove on my radio? Why is Karl Rove on anywhere? Unless he’s on trial or being interrogated, I can’t imagine of what possible use this George W. Bush relic could be to conservatives and yet he’s everywhere, hocking his book “Courage and [...]
Recently, a friend relayed a story about an acquaintance who is a Sons of Confederate Veterans member who wanted it known that while he agreed with me “99% of the time”-I still “had my head up my ass” concerning foreign policy. The gentleman pretty much supports our current foreign policy and takes issue with my [...]
Imagine that after many months of watching the evening news, you declared that black people were malicious or sinister based purely on the criminal coverage that constantly flashed across your TV screen. Predictably, you would be called “racist,” and accused of drawing erroneous conclusions based on your own deep-seeded prejudice. Writes Washington Post columnist Colbert [...]
