Ramirez returns to Memphis, where he once was the cartoonist for the Commercial Appeal, several times a year. I think he might still have family here. On those trips, he frequently appears on a local afternoon drive time radio talk show hosted by Mike Fleming.

Fleming bills himself as a true-blue conservative, although he occasionally advocates government intervention in problems best left to personal and private solution. For example, when discussing the recent shootings in Mississippi, he started his show with the idea that the employer was responsible for keeping the workplace gun-free with guards, metal detectors, and other coercive mechanisms. Only when several callers raised the idea of the employer supporting personal protection - including concealed carry - did he back off his idea.

Fleming's best shows, however, are the ones where Ramirez appears with another of his conservative buddies, Paul Shanklin. Shanklin is the voice impersonator responsible for many, if not most, of the musical parodies used by Rush Limbaugh, and the two of them skewer democrats like chickens ready for roasting.

Your post is the first of over 1000 to finally give a hint of why Ramirez is a conservative, thank you! Because his cartoons do not do it for me as a conservative.
