In this episode of the Conscience of Kansas radio program we talk about a deadly fungus outbreak in Joplin Missouri after their major tornado. Gene Simmons talks about Barack Obama and Israel. Malcom X's daughter is convicted of identity theft. University liberals at Goshen University ban the National Anthem as being too violent. We talk about it all today.

Where is Joplin, Mississippi (MS)?
It’s Missouri, not Mississippi
Goshen College (it is not “Goshen University”) is not a liberal school. It is a lovely little Mennonite college in Goshen, Indiana, county seat of Elkhart County, which historically has been a bastion of conservatism.
I suppose you can call Mennonites “liberal” when you compare them to the Amish, from whom they broke off a few centuries ago. I wouldn’t confuse “non-violence” with liberalism, as both the Amish and the Mennonites have tried to avoid war for as long as they have existed (they started out in the 16th century as “Anabaptists”). The Mennonites and Amish believe in self-reliance, hard work, personal responsibility and self-restraint, and actually live in fear of the government. I’ve observed these people up close for years (my wife’s family lives in Elkhart County); I don’t hold any brief for their theology, but if people in this country started living according to their moral principles, the country would be vastly improved overnight.
