TRIGGER WARNING: THIS SHOW PRODUCED BY TWO WHITE MALES WITH OPINIONS
Liberal race warriors are eating their own after comedian Stephen Colbert's team tweeted a satirical joke making fun of racial stereotypes. Now racial activists are engaged in a great civil war online over the meaning of satire and whether white males are allowed to have opinions.
The controversy began when someone at Stephen Colbert's team tweeted a joke that was a satirical poke at Redskin's owner Dan Snyder, who is fighting to keep the name of a team that's become the latest target of the politically correct police. Making fun of Snyder's attempt at downplaying the name of the team, Colbert said on his show that he was going to make amends for his own character he played called Ching Chong Ding Dong by setting up the Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever.
Hashtag activist Suey Park, who is an outspoken feminist and anticapitalist, immediately began a campaign on Twitter called #cancelcolbert, which was aimed at sparking a conversation about liberal racism and asian stereotypes. In an interview on the Huffington Post Live last Friday, Park responded to criticism from her fellow liberals over the fact that she's seemingly unable to understand the point of satire, which prompted her to discount their opinions seeing as how the hosts were both white males.

Bright Girding For Battle Against Big Government Graham
South Carolina state Senator Lee Bright joins the Freedom Report podcast to discuss his challenge to Lindsey Graham. Bright believes that his influence amongst social conservatives and libertarians can help give him the edge in the fight to unseat the most disliked Republican amongst those who consider themselves true limited-government republicans.
Bright argues that Graham's defense of big government programs such as the NSA's spying, and his stance on immigration has hurt him amongst the GOP base, and it's time to usher in someone who can better represent Republican's views on these issues.

Pro-Life Humanists Speak Out
Secular humanist Kristine Kruszelnicki wrote a very controversial article recently titled "Yes, there are pro-life atheists out there. Here's why." In it, she argues that human rights belong to all human beings, including those who have yet to be born. She believes that being pro-life isn't just the territory of the religious, but that there is a secular argument for being pro-life as well.
In this episode of the Freedom Report podcast, Kruszelnicki speaks about the arguments related to abortion and why she thinks that the only moral and ethical position is to be pro-life.

Thomas Sowell Vs. Ted Cruz - Who Has The Right Strategy For The GOP? (PODCAST)

Sowell Questions Why Conservatives Are Attacking McConnell
Conservative columnist and economist Thomas Sowell penned an op-ed in the New York Post today criticizing some Republicans in their battle against people in their own party. Sowell has previously written a similar piece denouncing Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his tactics that have made fellow Republicans look bad in a year when the party has a legitimate chance to win both houses of congress.
Sowell writes that it is more important for conservatives to take power in order to block Obama's agenda in his final years as president than it is to fight Mitch McConnell, who arguable has a more conservative record than most of the Republicans in the legislature today.
The article reflects a deep seated frustration in general with Republicans against Senator Cruz, which forces one to consider the alternative strategy being played by one Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Although Paul is generally seen as an anti-establishment outsider, he has endorsed Mitch McConnell and criticized the FreedomWorks endorsed Matt Bevin, who is an unknown primary challenger and was not endorsed by other outlets such as the Club For Growth.
Rand Paul's strategy has differed from Cruz in that he has managed to stake more heterodox policy positions on foreign policy (earning him ire from Cruz) and drug sentences, while not upsetting the Republican establishment so much as the Texas senator has. Cruz and Paul have been trading jabs in recent weeks, leading some to question just exactly what would be the outcome in a potential Rand Paul vs. Ted Cruz scenario for president in 2016.
