From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored, this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country.

It would be lovely if the country had two anti-tax parties in the country.

What we have are two parties that love to spend money like drunken sailors.

This is your host, Scott Bertram.

Welcome to the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour.

That was Molly Hemingway, senior journalism fellow here at Hillsdale College.

Also author of the upcoming book, Alito.

Also later on in today's program, Dr. Christina Lambert from Hillsdale's English Department returns to finish her series on T.S. Eliot.
