I’m fuming at the ridiculous mixture of extremism and political correctness that is swamping social media regarding the evil killings in Belgium yesterday. On the morning of 22 March 2016, three coordinated suicide bombings occurred in Belgium: two at Brussels Airport in Zaventem, and one at Maalbeek metro station in central Brussels.

I’ve been a fan of talk radio for many years. I enjoy listening to all kinds of talk radio ranging from Political to Theatrical, from Religious to Sports. I regularly drive long road trips and listening to an engaging conversation on the radio keeps my gray matter buzzing. Even when I disagree with someones point …
