Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday April 11, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss liberty issues surrounding the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) revision debacle.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday March 28, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis talk about a variety of subjects- the status of the Heartbeat Bill in the Ohio Legislature, the dreadfully poor argumentation and desperation on the part of its opponents, the lionization of those same opponents in the liberal media, John Kasich’s deep desire to reshape the Republican Party into a haven for progressives (can you say “Whig?”), and Marvin Olasky of World Magazine schools John Kasich on the difference between biblical exegesis and eisegesis.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday March 21, 2015. Chuck Michaelis introduces a lecture given by Dr. Michael Coffman of Environmental Perspectives, Inc. at Camp American in 2010. The subject is the fraud of man-made global warming and its use as a tool to restrict your private property. This is a timely re-run chosen to coincide with reports that claim that the dam at Buckeye Lake is in a dangerous condition despite having been declared in a safe condition for decades, especially since the repairs of the late 80’s/early 90’s.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 2/14/2015- The Federal Takeover Of Education Is Rotten To Its Common Core
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday February 14, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the Common Core, the for-profit companies that benefit from it by supplying the materials and tests, the state politicians who took the federal bait money to adopt the standards and the test packages that generate the money for the companies that now demand minimum numbers of students or the price per student goes up, and how those same politicians are now desperately trying to back away from the now VERY toxic standards and disastrously botched teaching methods.
This political tap dance actually means that your child has a chance to avoid the grossly flawed PARCC testing if HB 7 passes. This is the “safe harbor” bill for students that is currently before the Ohio House of Representatives.

We want to know what you think about it, too.
