Howdy, I'm Staks Rosch, and I am the host of Dangerous Talk. Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in northern New Jersey, just outside of New York City. I went to West Chester University and was extremely active in many activities including, but not limited to, the English Club (President), The Philosophy Club (President), Student Activities Council, The Iconoclast literary magazine, The Quad campus newspaper (weekly columnist for at least 3 or 4 years), WCUR 680 AM and WCUR 91.7 FM. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education, with a concentration in Philosophy. I took a year off and then went back to West Chester University and got my Masters Degree in Philosophy. I have been a long-time Independent, and a few years ago, I switched sides to the Democratic Party. I quickly jumped into Democratic politics in Chester County and was appointed Chair of the Young Democrats of the County after I attempted a run for the U.S. Congress. But I must admit that I am a bit of a rebel, and a vocal one at that. I quickly made a name for myself within the County party and joined many grassroots Democratic groups such as the DFA (Democracy for America) and the PDA (Progressive Democrats of America) . Recently I moved to Delaware County and became a committee person in my district. I worked very closely with the Chuck Pennacchio for Senate Campaign to defeat Senator Rick Santorum. Unfortunately, Bob Casey Jr. beat Pennacchio in the primary so now he is our Senator. In the Freethought community, I have debated and discussed religion with countless Christians of differing sects. While in college, I held a program mocking a Christian program of a similar name; I called it "Do You Agree with Staks: How I Got Over God." I soon joined the Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia and became a board member. I went down to D.C. to rally against the use of "under god" in the pledge of allegiance. While I was there, I got to meet Michael Newdow and a few other cool people. In November of 2005, I was tapped to be a panelist on the CN8 television show "It's Your Call with Lynn Doyle." The show topic was Intelligent Design in the classroom. Throughout my life, I have been a strong advocate of free speech and got a two-second sound byte on "A&E Biography: Howard Stern." This occurred while I was rallying for free speech at his last broadcast on K-ROCK in New York City. During both 2004 and 2005, I went down to D.C. and met with the legislative aids of multiple U.S. Senators to discuss the Broadcast Decency Act of 2004/2005. Unfortunately in 2004, 99 percent of the U.S. Senate voted for this anti-freedom bill. However, the President forgot to sign it into law, so it was up again in 2005. Fortunately, it never made it to the Senate in 2005, but it did pass overwhelmingly in the House. 2006 however seemed to be the big anti-freedom year since the bill passed that year with 100% support from the Senate. This time unfortunately, President Bush remembered to sign his name to it and made it law. Now I pledge to defend freedom from the FCC and all enemies foreign and domestic. Dangerous Talk will expand the limits of freedom and take on the FCC directly because other so-called "free" stations won't.
This week on Dangerous Talk: Staks blames America's Immigration problems on the Religious Right! And Republican mastermind Colin Hanna, founder of the WeNeedAFence.com project and of the LetFreedomRingUSA.com conservative think tank, will join me in the studio for a "discussion." Some credit him with single handedly winning the 04 election for Bush. Don't miss it!!!
