Dan O Henslee

Listening to you're commentary reveals that you are not a conservative. You are either Centrist or Independent but not a conservative. That is perfectly acceptable and you're choice alone. I only ask that you remove the label "Conservative" from you're podcast to be fair. It's a bit of false advertising.
