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

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.

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

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.
