B. Clermont, M. Roddy

Smart, Sassy and Seriously Good Talk! This Saturday at High Noon two very smart women will be heard on Radio Free Kansas and I am already shaking in my boots. Nothing more stimulating than women who know their work, and not afraid to make the men straighten out the mess they made of the place! During the first hour a candid conversation with Betty Clermont about her new book "The Neo-Catholics: Implementing Christian Nationalism in America" a documented historical study how "hawks and neo-conservatives in the Republican Party forged a nexus with powerful right-wing Catholics that would change the face of American Catholicism, the structuring of social policy in the United States, and the American agenda in the world." [from the book synopsis - Ed. note] This is a lively recorded conversation from Sunday, Feb. 6th, 2010 where Ms. Clermont and I discuss some of the Kansas connections to this dangerous political trend. Listen in. Then during the second hour, for a long overdue encore appearance on RFK, one of my favorite guests, the well-connected Melissa Roddy, who took on a pack of male callers and promptly had all of us scratching our heads over Afghanistan. Join in as we roast poor old dead Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson, the hot tub sensation played by Tom Hanks in the movie "Charlie Wilson's War." History is not like Hollywood gave us, and Ms. Roddy will explain why. She'll be live on the phone from California, so feel free to call in and take her on!
