Principles and Policies Podcast for 8/31/2013- What’s Wrong With Grove City College?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday August 31, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets interview Pastor David Whitney of The Institute On The Constitution (IOTC) about attacks on IOTC and other groups which are attempting to teach the Constitution and American history and government from a Christian constitutional perspective by Dr. Warren Throckmorton. Throckmorton is a professor in the Psychology Dept. of Grove City College in Grove City PA. Grove City College is ostensibly a Christian college but we demonstrate that Grove City college is actively ignoring Throckmorton’s attempts to undermine the biblical view of sexual perversion and the biblical origins of American government using, to say the least, questionable tactics and shoddy scholarship in a blatant flouting of their mission statement.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday August 24, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets discuss the problems with  attempts to call a new constitutional convention (calling it an “amendments” convention, a category which does not exist) in a series of programs done during the last time this tactic was tried.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday August 17, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets dissect an interview of Lawyer, author, and talk show host Mark Levin about his book The Liberty Amendments. We find much to agree with but also find glaring errors which put holes in his argument for an Article V convention to sink it without a trace.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday August 10, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets interview Molly Smith of Cleveland Right To Life about the recent “disaffiliation” of Cleveland Right To Life by National Right To Life. Molly answers the question- “how can you disaffiliate an organization that is not affiliated with you in the first place?” Molly also talks about what happens when you’re an effective advocate for pro-life action in a pro-death culture.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 7/27/2013- How You Know You’re Winning The Argument

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday July 27, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets interview Ricki Pepin, a Christian, a home school mother, a grandmother, and a VERY active teacher of the US Constitution. Ricki is getting a first-hand lesson on how progressives react when you begin to make inroads into educating citizens about how the Constitution REALLY works and what it REALLY says. The result is usually a wild-eyed smear campaign and that  is exactly what Ricki is experiencing in the Dayton-Springfield OH area.
