Backbone Radio

Go ahead, report us

Slated on Backbone Radio, Aug. 9 Listen every Sunday, 5-8pm on 710 KNUS, Denver... 1460 KZNT, Colorado Springs... and streaming live at 710knus.com.

Guilty plea. Can't deny it. Caught redhanded. We at Backbone Radio, BackboneAmerica.net, Centennial Institute, and the '76 Blog don't like Obama's plan for government health care one bit. We think it's dishonest, dysfunctional, disgusting, dangerous, and deadly. We don't see how a policy that is anti-life for the youngest and oldest among us can possibly be "healthy" for everyone else. We think it's socialized medicine, a bankruptcy prescription, a poison pill. We don't see how a plan that is anti-freedom, and wildly expensive besides, can seriously be foisted on the public as "free."

So on the basis of that, we've been studying that horrible House bill and passing along the ugly realities of what's in it, line by line. We've been running down details on Democrats' townhall meetings in Colorado (not always easy) and urging folks to show up with a civil tone and hard questions.

According to the President's enforcers, this makes us purveyors of "fishy stuff," surveillance targets, undesirables who must be reported to Flag@WhiteHouse.gov. Busted!

The absurdity and creepiness of it all was beautifully captured today by columnist David Harsanyi (see DenverPost.com, opinion section). But since confession is good for the soul, we are fessing up here and now. Go ahead, report us. I understand Guantanamo is nice this time of year.

Actually it's California, not Cuba, that is our family's destination this weekend. Backbone Radio in my absence will be ably hosted by former congressman Bob Beauprez -- an expert on Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats -- with Matt Dunn and Joshua Sharf helping out.

They'll have a great show for you. Please tune in. This can't really be happening in America, can it? Yup, it's happening. But people are starting to wake up. The turn is coming. Thanks for doing your part.

Yours for self-government, JOHN ANDREWS

Trade in that Obamobile

Slated on Backbone Radio, Aug. 2 Listen every Sunday, 5-8pm on 710 KNUS, Denver... 1460 KZNT, Colorado Springs... and streaming live at 710knus.com.

The ultimate clunker in America right now is the Obama administration, stuck in a permanent left turn, polluting the air with fantasy, and already running out of gas after six short months. Never mind a rebate for getting rid of the thing, a lot of people would pay to see the last of it. All we're asking to you to pay is attention, however. Join us Sunday evening for the most principled, most patriotic, most faith-based, most Colorado-proud three hours of radio anywhere on the dial. Guests will include...

** Jim Frogue from Newt Gingrich's health policy think tank... Bill Moloney from Cape Cod with tidings of Democrats losing traction... and former state Sen. Peter Groff from inside Obama's Education Department.

** Plus Mike Littwin satirizing our bartending president as a real man of genius... truly a sign of the times when mockery begins from that quarter... and the Georgia boys behind a band I've just learned about, calling themselves Backbone Music.

"What's happened to our backbone?" their signature song asks. I see signs it's starting to come back. Listen on Sunday and do your part in "the big turn," as Fred Barnes of Fox News called it in a Denver speech this week.
