What conservative does not get a certain satisfaction listening to Michael Medved on the radio? A little too cocky and ego driven? Sure. Does he like to bait callers to his show? Sure. Does he hold totally rock solid, unwavering positions on some subjects? You bet, but not all subjects or philosophies as you will see. Does he often let cockiness, ego and a certain grating, screw you attitude take over the discussion when he is unable to argue some pet position of his effectively with a listener who has his number? Yes. All of this is our Michael which is precisely the point, love him or not he is our Michael.

On the other hand his unforgivable sin from my point of view is his treatment of anyone who believes there is any substance to the idea that some individuals and or some groups are actively promoting the idea of a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. Vintage Medved on the subject declares for all the world to see that people who believe this are: "ludicrous, childish, ill-informed, manipulative” and that they have “brain dead fantasies about a North American Union."

He can join the heroes with feet of clay club. George Bush spends money like a drunken sailor and just loves amnesty for illegal aliens. John McCain also favors amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. There is quite a list, but you get the picture. They could all ban together and start a third political party. Turncoats they should  call themselves. They take horrible positions on a variety of subjects then turn their fully reversible coats inside out and parade down the streets, tongue in cheek, like the cat that ate the canary. Shame!

I emailed Medved a Simple question. "Since when does the United Stated Congress spend time on a project such as, H Con. Res. 40, which specifically calls for the following:

 (1) the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System.

(2) The United States should not Allow the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to Implement further regulations that would create a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and

(3) the President of the United States should indicate strong opposition to these acts or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States.

At last count this resolution had scores of cosponsors.

Congress evidently has a different understanding of what is afoot here. There has been no response from Medved to my query. I expect his non response is the equivalent of being hung up on during his radio show while he goes into his "Greatest nation on God's green earth" spiel. More scary still is the fact that Medved, among normally conservative writers and radio talk show hosts, is not alone on his thinking on this subject. It almost makes you wonder who is paying the bills for conservatives to be embracing this attack on the sovereignty of this “Greatest Nation on God’s Green Earth”.
