Subject: anything goes!

Steve, where do I start? You and I had a discussion last year on the radio, concerning "right-wing extremists" Talk about paranoid! If you remember, I challenged you to name one "extremely conservative" state, this was during the presidential elections I believe. You couldnt name one. I on the other hand named off a slew of "left leaning" states. Your problem Steve is that you are only looking through one eye when you are holding a pair of binoculars.Iam going to touch on a number of issues,skiming over them if you willFirst I have heard you speak to James on the radio and for some reason your mantra is tying fundamental christianity to :anti gay, anti free speech, anti ........ well you get the picture. Either you were raised in a very oppressive enviroment beaten over the head with the bible or maybe your just plain wrong! Just because some are hateful does mean you clump us altogether. I could say the smae for left-wing radicals, burning expensive suv's to the ground to "protect" the enviroment,thats a good one spewing toxic fumes in the air saving the planet,that's a good one.Or people putting spikes in tree's so when loggers hit them with their chainsaw's they are severely injured or maimed. And if you have read the reports of people,like exliberal David Horowitz being attacked at universities for using his free speech rights.Did you know that of all professors polled, fully 80% aligned themselves to the left? Or that instead of teaching the youth of tomorrow they are indoctrinating them?Conservative speakers get shouted down by "leftwing" or the new term progressives while speaking on academic freedom bill of rights that David Horowitz is trying to get implemented in all universities. This bill of rights "which the left is opposed to" by the way I always thought the left believed in free speech? I guess only when it concerns them.Why do you suppose that the left would be opposed to teaching students just the facts and not "their own beliefs." We have leftwing professors spewing anti semitic hate,aligning themselves with muslims activists. Yes leftists attack jews also.I challenge you to go to the web site: "Front Page Mag.com and see for yourself what the left is doing to this country.No christian slant hear just the facts. I believe you will come away with a different point of view after reviewing what progressives are doing in our campuses nationwide. Go ahead and get back to me. Now remember use both eye holes while viewing thru the binoculars.

Note to Les:
It's good to know you are visiting our webblog since I no longer participate (call in) on local talk radio (it's been many months and it seems to be driving some of the KXYl faithful nuts ! see our archives). Anyone who knows me ( it's obvious Les does not! ) knows that I have always maintained that the extremists on the left who violate & endanger people and property because of their beliefs are exactly like those on the extreme right who do the same thing except for one major difference, those on the extreme right use the BIBLE to justify their behavior (see our archives - what's not playing on the Brownwood airwaves) ! For the record, when I use binoculars I use both eyes. The only time I use one eye is when I am looking through the scope of a rifle ( I'm a NRA Member ! ) or when I'm taking a photograph. Regarding your right(red)/left(blue) wing states comments, I've learned to look at the blend of any discussion, which in this case, the color from the mix (red & blue) is Purple (see our archives) !
Regards, Steve Harris

    from Steve Harris- One of KXYL's Marion Bishop favorite tactics when he got a challenging caller, he'd add another caller to have a three against one type of conversation (like the conversation Les mentions above). KXYL likes the yelling, name calling, & bullying. It makes them lots of money !

    Email from Les:
    Iam asking that you pull your "post"  of describing me as "hoot baker" I thought we could have a civilized debate on issues, but you are no different than the ones you constantly belittle and rant about. You claim you have more insightful balanced info, but I dont see it. You seem to be the James williamson of the left, with your disparging remark.

    from Steve Harris- Les want's a civilized debate ? Les writes: "Either you were raised in a very oppressive enviroment beaten over the head with the bible or maybe your just plain wrong!" Civilized debate as in the Bullying debate found at KXYL of which he mentions ! As for Les's comment "you seem to be the James Williamson of the left, with your disparging remark", I find that very interesting. After listening to James "Bully" anyone left of his hard right position as "cockroaches" and worse for years on the Brownwood airwaves, Les doesn't understand that I am simply holding a mirror up to James' accusations of what he thinks the Democrat Party is (he likes to define everyone and we don't let him define who we are or what we stand for ! ). I know, and have documented on our Blog, every time James accuses the Democrats of something I can immediately find documentation of Republicans doing the exact same thing. It's really weird when a caller challenges James and his opinion and James asks the caller if they are Gay.
    Freaky !

    Answers to the above:
    Raised in opressive enviroment ? No

    Clinton impeachment was retaliation for Nixon, says retiring congressman
    Henry Hyde
    By Andy Shaw
    April 21, 2005 — Republican Congressman Henry Hyde made some surprising comments Thursday on the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton. He now says Republicans may have gone after Clinton to retaliate for the impeachment of Richard Nixon. Hyde is stepping down after this term.
