Jason Lewis at the NCCLC

Jason Lewis from WBT 1110AM in Charlotte was at the Leadership Conference this weekend. Jason broadcasts each weekday from 3pm to 6pm EST and his show is the first place I can recall hearing the idea that "I'm a conservative first and a Republican second."

He often promotes the idea that the Republican Party is a vehicle that's to be used to advance ideas. I didn't get to hear his live show on Friday because I was in the illegal immigration forum during the time his show airs. When I got out, I did catch just a little bit of the end of the show, where he was interviewing Congresswoman Foxx.

If you've never heard his show and you're ever in the Charlotte area during that time, take a moment to tune in -- 1110 on the AM dial. Jason also really defies categorization in the various political parties of the day -- sometimes he agrees with the libertarians, sometimes with the republicans. Every blue moon, he'll even agree with the Democrats -- because he's more concerned with the right idea than which party is "best."

Jason is also very thoughtful and learned. He doesn't just spout off things to enrage people to get them to call his show. He seriously knows of what he speaks -- he clearly takes the time to research everything he talks about. In fact, when I had the pleasure of eating lunch with him, he had a pile of folders and papers about 8 inches tall -- filled, I'm sure, with various facts and evidence to support his positions -- which are normally correct.
