America’s Morning News

In case you didn’t tune into The Washington Times’ nationally syndicated radio show “America’s Morning News” - heard in Washington on WTNT-AM 570 and coast-to-coast via the Talk Radio Network - here’s what just three of Tuesday’s guests told co-hosts Melanie Morgan and John McCaslin:

*Sen. Mark Warner, Virginia Democrat: Mr. Warner, a former Virginia governor, predicted a brightening future for the economy, stressing that the nation’s health care and insurance industries could not have survived another decade.

*Fred Barnes, executive editor of the Weekly Standard and a political analyst for Fox News: Mr. Barnes said it’s beginning to look a lot like the late 1970s for the Republican Party, when its popularity swelled on the heels of a stumbling and bumbling President Carter, who proved “incompetent” on foreign policy and the economy.

*Ralph Peters, columnist for the New York Post: Mr. Peters called Thursday’s horror at Fort Hood “Islamist terror,” adding that “political correctness” killed the patriotic Americans at Fort Hood “as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of nondenominational shoplifting.”
