America the Weak?
Slated on Backbone Radio, Oct. 18 Listen every Sunday, 5-8pm on 710 KNUS, Denver... 1460 KZNT, Colorado Springs... and streaming live at 710knus.com.
"Undermine our allies. Embolden our enemies. Diminish our country." Frank Gaffney says those nine words sum up the Obama Doctrine for America's role in the world. Gaffney is head of the Center for Security Policy, and one of my guests this Sunday. His grim statement has the ring of truth. It tracks with the powerful warning from Charles Krauthammer that "Decline is a Choice." At home, economic and environmental policies from the reigning liberals also point to a shrunken future, a vision of America the weak. And if conservatives want to raise a voice of opposition, the government will have no compunction in silencing them, for now that the left is in power, dissent is not patriotic any more.
Is this what tomorrow will bring? If the other side has its way, yes. But if enough of us resist, no. The choice is ours. Be part of our Oct. 18 show as I talk with...

Teacher's Desk: Support Seawell for DPS
IEP meetings continue, and I may soon turn into a pumpkin. Meanwhile, Denver Public Schools are holding a school board election and I have an endorsement for the at-large seat: Mary Seawell. The reason I am endorsing Mary is simple. She supports doing whatever it takes to ensure student academic success. This includes programs and process in regular district schools, charter schools, magnets and innovation schools. That is the fair-minded philosophy that the Denver School Board needs. This is the attitude that is needed for someone who will be making the decision of our charter schools’ renewals and the charters of new charter schools.
Her opposition is clearly anti-charter school without results-based plans to improve student achievement. He regurgitates trite, worn-out arguments.
I like Mary for another reason. She was part of the team that built the Denver University’s new MBA in educational leadership. The program is a much needed resource and is a combination of traditional school leadership training coupled with marketing and entrepreneurship. Other states’ universities have “charter school principal programs,” and I am thrilled that Colorado now does too!
