"Michael Medved would describe himself as more of a theo-con."

As a paleo-conservative, I like MM. Most of the time. However, I think he is making a dodge here. He is Jewish, so naturally he sides with the neo-cons. Last time I have heard him he took an issue that remotely might be construed as such and turned it into a full blown pro-Israel agenda.

But I don't fault him for his bias. Not for his bias, however, I do fault him for not being up front about his bias. Christian talk show hosts are biased. Naturally viewing things through the prism of the New Testament. As he does through a Jewish prism.

Lest one get the wrong impression, I am not anti-Israel, I am strongly opposed to Islam. In my opinion though, both sides in the middle east conflict are missing the solution, Jesus Christ the prince of peace. The only hope of humanity, Jews and Islamics included. MM needs Christ just like all the rest of us.

I've listened to Michael Medved almost every day for several years. He is by far my favorite. MM has made no secret of his biases. He readily and gladly admits his conservative bias. And he readily admits his support of Israel. However, he has stated over and over again that his foremost allegiances are to God, his family, and the USA. By way of example, he is wholly against U.S. economic aid to Israel, and any other country for that matter.

MM shuns titles such as "paleo-" and "neo-" and particularly discourages the use of "RINO".

MM is a brilliant mind and a great American - a national treasure we are very fortunate to have on our side.
