TONIGHT ON “A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA SHEA KING AND…”

Rober Spencer, founder of Jihad Watch, says he began getting emails from Jihad Watch readers telling him they had been accustomed to reading the site at work, but now their employer had blocked access to the Jihad Watch site on company computers. Many reported that the ban on Jihad Watch was explained with the assertion that Jihad Watch contained “hate speech.”

Jihad Watch was blocked on the computers of the State of Connecticut; the City of Chicago; Bank of America; Fidelity Investments; Site Coach; GE IT; JPMorgan Chase; Defense Finance and Accounting Services; Johnson Controls, Inc. IT; Boeing; Tenet Hospitals in North Carolina; Provisio; the Sabre Group TSG; Wachovia bank; and others.

Spencer says this isn’t a case of employers being annoyed with their workers lying down on the job and spending time reading Jihad Watch instead of working. He believes it’s an attempt to silence Jihad Watch.

Robert Spencer joins me tonight at 9 eastern on BlogTalkRadio. The Chat Room will be open and you can get to it here.

In yesterday’s podcast, I had the distinct pleasure of talking to two of the best bloggers around, Gerard Vanderleun of American Digest and Siggy of Sigmund, Carl and Alfred. We talked about anti-Americanism, English cooking (including toast) and several other topics.

On the subject of education, we discussed a generation of students growing up without a real education on what it means to be an American:
Gerard:

Classical education’s being replaced by presentism and relativism

On middle class values and conditions:
Siggy:

When you are part of an economic group, you become an oppressor…. People are driven to hatred, and then to violence, when they realize they can not control others with their beliefs

Gerard:

Exactly; this is called the Vision of the Annointed, which is one of the best books I’ve ever read which outlines this mindset. The problem in America is that you have this great divide, and again, you have three generations of a certain elite leftist ideology that feeds upon itself that is driving the educational system, and not only that, is driving social services as well.

We also talked about commercialand, the pattycake war, the grains that bind, and Bill and Hillary.

The podcast is such fun, it might even be fattening.

All that, and Siggy and I discussed the necktie dilemma - Is Siggy a necktie guy?

Will Gerard and Siggy revoke my blogging license since I’m a morning blogger?
