KPFK is actually quite good. So is KPFA here in the Bay area. Both are part of the Pacifica network of stations in CA (KPFA & KPFA), NY I(WBAI), DC (WPFW) and TX (don't remember the call sign for that one). Pacifica founder Lou Hill pioneered publicly supported radio and, unlike NPR, Pacifica is still totally listener-supported.

The programming is far from 100% news & talk. They have pretty good music programming too.

I suppose he's a Tony Blair Liberal, a capitol L Liberal as opposed to a liberal. I suppose the party label meant something once.

I'm surprised at being the center of attention here. Liberal only means left wing in America. I use it in the correct sense of the term. Call Yourself a so************************t if you are one. Youre all embarresed by the word... Politically I'm probably centrist. I am socialy liberal. I believe in equality. I think in politics too big a swing to either extreme is bad, if it's unions with too much power or the chumps on Wallstreet swindling the rest of the country. It's bad, just a matter of scale. I believe in more rights being a good thing provided they dont infri ge on others. Government should be in charge of military, police, fire department and universal health care (no insurance companies) and should regulate the private sector and penalize the crooks. Lobbyists should be constrained to a significant degree. There should private sector for business and welfare should be cut down and in place the government should hire more for building or maintaining infrastructure. I don't see why i should keep replacing my tires for instance due to the potholes. Pay sometime on welfare to fill them up. There should be a safety net, but not one so excessive like Britain you have generations who have never had a job and have never wanted one.

I don't believe in affirmative action. It is reverse inequality, thats not what bothers me, i certainty don't feel aggrieved and i understand at the time it was necessary. But I think we do other people a disservice by the relentless focus on Race. Change the topic and in time racism will subside ( at least on the coasts)

Now back to the thread.

Fuck that guy. And he was in the labour party. Do people really not know what a true liberal is?

Yes Pacifica. Bunch of tools. A couple of good people, but mostly ego and entrenched views on everything.

Jeese Louise Matty, try a little punctuation and separate into paragraphs. The above reads like a stream of consciousness poured onto the page, olde son.

Or I'm using the correct English definition. Not my problem you all speak Merican

I'm typing on a Samsung tablet with the worst keyboard and predictive text. Apologies but i edited that post about five times. Grammar won't get better on this piece of crap I'm afraid. My computer crapped out on me.
