Chis's guests suggest, "unless Obama decides against cutting Medicare and Social Security, we will tell him we will not give one dime of our money or one minute of our time towards his re-election." I think we need to tell him we will not vote for him, even if it means Bachman becomes President. That's a harder proposition, but I know that's how I will act. I'm tired of voting for the "good cop" rather than the "bad cop."

Thanks! My wife has constantly struggled to communicate to people in so many places about the difference between politics of the Middle East and Islam. For some reason people don't get it. Why? What is it in our media that keeps creating this bias and prejudice? Could you talk about Islam in South Asia and Europe versus Middle East - so people can see the diversity within diversity! My wife meets people who don't know that Mormonism is an American religion, or don't know the difference between Hindi and Hindu, or that so many immigrants in the Midwest and the South are indoctrinated by mainstream media. There are wonderful people here, so kindly get your program here. Cal might not be perfect but it could be a good example for some places in the Midwest and the South.
