Travis McGee on Phoenix Talk Radio Show

"Declare Your Independence With Ernest Hancock" talk show, KFNX 1100 AM Phoenix ^ | 3-26-2004 | Travis McGee

[Travis McGee]

I was just invited to participate as a guest on the Ernest Hancock radio talk show on KFNX 1100 AM in Phoenix. Hancock is a libertarian talk host, his scheduled guest today had to cancel and I was invited to fill in as a last minute substitute.

We'll discuss my novel "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" and other freedom-oriented topics. I'll be on the air beginning after 5PM Pacific time, 6PM Mountain time. You can listen to live streaming audio here on KFNX 1100. Then you can tell me if I sounded terrified, drunk, crazy, lucid, brilliant or whatever.

Ernest Hancock talks too damn much. Guests are for listening to.

"Enemies Foreign and Domestic" bump

[Travis McGee]

I can tell you the most credible guests are the ones that sound more stable than the host.

Great point! I'm going to always remember that for future shows. Thanks!

Matt Bracken - ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC is about one of the several fault lines dividing the world views that co-exist uneasily within the United States today. One side of this ideological divide believes that American gun rights are a dangerous anachronism, and that firearms ownership should be strictly regulated, and as far as possible curtailed by the government. This side of American society desires to see all firearms registered with the government, and many classes of firearms banned.

The other side considers the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights to be an unbreachable wall, guarding the freedom of all Americans from steadily encroaching government tyranny. This side believes that it has learned a bitter lesson of history, and will never follow the tragic example of other peoples who have been disarmed, and then in many cases slaughtered by their own governments.

The firearms-intolerant side in America fails to appreciate that the God-given right to keep and bear arms is a bedrock core belief for tens of millions of Americans. This anti-firearms group seeks to elect those who would enact laws that may cross the constitutional point of no return for those millions of Americans who will not be disarmed without a violent struggle. The Americans who cherish the Second Amendment will refuse to be disarmed, regardless of what unconstitutional laws are passed, just as blacks would disobey any new laws which attempted to send them back into slavery.

The main thesis of Enemies Foreign and Domestic is that cynical manipulators, who understand both world views, could easily shape events to create a violent crisis in America between the two camps. This could easily be done as depicted in the Prologue, with a large-scale massacre blamed on a suitable villain, or by other means. Therefore, Enemies is also a cautionary tale: be extremely wary of events tending to advance laws stripping Americans of their right to keep and bear arms. No matter the provocation, genuine or contrived, millions of Americans will not be disarmed without a violent struggle.

The society of gun-owning Americans is like a great lake: vast, deep and placid. Their firearms are rarely seen above the lake’s surface from day to day, but they exist in their countless millions just the same. It is the contention of the author that it would be extremely unwise to push millions of firearms owners past their boiling points, with unconstitutional laws depriving them of their right to keep and bear arms. The unintended consequences of such a mistake would be disastrous for all Americans.

I haven't had time to FReep recently so missed the note. Too bad we have to work for a living. My supervisor is on a three week directed sick leave to get hypertension in order so I am the stuckee. On top of that, Mrs SLB's mom is not doing well. Could sure use some FReeper prayer. She is 82 and with Parkinson's, congestive heart failure, diabetes and a myriad of other things going wrong ,she does not ahve long left in this life.

[RightWingMama]

I just listened to your interview. Very good. How's the new book coming?

[Travis McGee]

Hey Tom, those stickers are ready, at lifelibertyetc.com. They also have t-shirts available.

[Travis McGee]

The new book is kind of stalled at this time. I need to get back in the saddle and crank out some words...

[RightWingMama]

Take your time. We'll wait for you.
