This week on Backbone Radio, we’re going to talk about the intersection of politics and morality, as well as the message of this week’s special elections in New York and Nevada. We’ll also briefly discuss this coming week’s possible UN vote on recognizing a Palestinian state, perhaps one of the most disastrous moves we’ve seen even in decades of Middle East disfunctionality.

Televangelist Pat Robertson made news this week by suggesting that it is OK for a man to divorce a wife who has been afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease because the disease “is a kind of death.” I’ve yet to find anyone who agrees with Robertson, but we’ll take on the topic on Backbone Radio.

The media is going crazy over the last Republican debate, in particular the moment when Ron Paul was asked by Wolf Blitzer whether uninsured patients should be allowed to die and someone in the audience yelled “yeah.” The left has pounced, calling Tea Party members cruel, uncompassionate, and worse. But are we really our brothers’ keepers? And even if we’re not, does that mean that Americans would allow other Americans to die?

And at 7 PM, we’ll talk with Bryan Preston of Pajamas Media about this week’s special elections. Do the Republican victories mean that “the age of Obama is over", or are we reading too much into these individual situations. We’ll also talk about the Jewish vote in 2012.

Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver and 1460 AM KZNT in Colorado Springs.
