Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday July 18, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the deeper implications of the Supreme court’s Obergefell decision in which they purport to create a “right” to homosexual “marriage” (or, with a tip of the hat to Pastor Douglas Wilson, homosexual mirage). We demonstrate the Christian view of marriage (the Radical 2 Kingdom surrender notwithstanding).

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday March 8, 2014. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis talk with Mark Stevenson of Ohioans For Educational Freedom about the case of the Romeike family. The Romeike’s are a German family who fled their native country because of persecution of those who want the liberty to home educate their children.

We discuss the dangerous tack taken by the US Justice Department, Immigration and Homeland Security in arguing that there is no fundamental right to home educate their children and that this fact made the Romeike family dangerous.

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.
