Informative & entertaining

I like the Texas centered stories. I think they maintain a pretty good balance. I don’t call myself liberal or conservative. I think both sides are over the top on different things!
Just like reading my Texas Monthly, I’m not interested in every story, but over all they do a lot of good work! I enjoy the program. Great to have the podcast when I’m out on the road.

Unabashed Leftist Ideology/Propaganda

OMG! Where to begin? About 30 minutes in it was actually comical the rate at which the relentless leftist talking points and Liberal Democrat Propaganda continued with relentless intensity and no sign of abating. This podcast exemplifies everything Radical Liberals stand for and offers compelling evidence that liberalism really is a mental illness. Too funny!
