Please join me for this Sunday’s edition of Backbone Radio on Newstalk 710 KNUS in Denver and 1460 KZNT in Colorado Springs from 5 PM to 8 PM.

In our first hour, we’ll discuss the State of the Union speech as well as protests across the Arab world, including being joined by former Congressman and current Chairman of the Colorado State Board of Education, Bob Schaffer.

In the second hour of the show, our in-studio guest will be Kevin Miller.  Kevin is the author of the newly-published Freedom Nationally, Virtue Locally—or Socialism (Denali Press). Miller has been engaging on public policy issues in Colorado since 2003 as the presenter/co-founder of Vanguard Roundtable—a public policy forum for politically conservative Christians. Miller is a Fellow at the Centennial Institute, which works to enhance public understanding of issues relating to faith, family, and freedom.

We’ll discuss the future of the conservative movement and the Republican party in the context of “social issues” voters and the debate among leading conservatives about the appropriate level of focus on social issues by politicians.  Exhibit 1: The debate between Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who suggested a “truce” on social issues, and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council who suggested no thanks.

During the 7 PM hour of this evening’s show, we’ll be joined by global strategy expert and best-selling author Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett to discuss events in Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen, as well as the possible impact of these events on other nations, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Israel.

You can read Dr. Barnett’s remarkable bio HERE and I encourage readers of these pages and listeners to Backbone Radio to visit www.wikistrat.com/war-room for ongoing strategic simulation by geostrategists headed by Dr. Barnett, looking at developments in Egypt. (Wikistrat subscribers get deeper access…)
