Voice of the remnant
A remnant, an unbowed faithful few, have rallied to the defense of truth and freedom time and again at critical moments in the history of Western civilization. Anyone who knows history and Scripture knows that. I wrote about it in my latest Denver Post column (above), noting that America’s true patriots are the remnant for our time. This radio program seeks to be a voice for them, on whom so much depends. David Barton of Wall Builders, an authority on our nation’s godly heritage, speaks the language of the remnant. So does Stan Mattson, head of the C.S. Lewis Foundation, active on many campuses. Both will be my guests on Backbone Radio this Sunday.
** Jed Babbin, editor of Human Events, updates us on what the Democrats are up to in Congress and on the campaign trail. And I’ll ask Jim Spencer of ColoradoConfidential.com, one of the said Dems, about Jared Polis’s surrender excursion to Iraq.
** Plus CSU student Bobby Carson with a report on Ram Republic, the alternative paper he helped start after F-bomb journalism gave Colorado State a black eye nationally. Remnant soldiers exemplify backbone, and this young man proves it.
On this holiday weekend I thank the Creator for the life and liberty that let me connect with you through our show. Please be listening as we roll out another edition.
Yours for the City on a Hill,
JOHN ANDREWS

Thanks Backbone Radio for an excellent show. The words “remnant people” have been echoing in my mind for the past several years. Every Sunday I see the pews of my little traditionalist church mostly empty. I watch as fellow Republicans morph into liberals, apologetic and embarrassed by the very principles America was founded on. It is very easy to become disheartened when you begin to feel you are in a distinct minority simply because you hold fast to the traditional values cherished by generations of Americans and Christian believers. Burke was right–if we are to survive we must find our little platoons, and hold fast to each other, lest the darkness overtake us. Thanks for a radio show that upholds the light, and serves as a beacon for the little platoons out there.
