Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday December 13, 2014. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the recent maneuvering of the Ohio Legislature, the Republican majority at least especially Ohio Senate president Keith Faber, and Governor John Kasich designed to make it look like something was being done to advance the Heartbeat bill when, really, they made it possible to kill that bill. Kasich and Faber were especially disingenuous claiming that the Heartbeat bill would actually lead to the killing of more babies using a “logic” that no one could actually follow but the news media dutifully and unquestioningly reported. Also discussed was a back door attempt by Attorney General Mike De Wine’s office to work around the Defense of Marriage amendment and abortion laws for those under guardianship.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday November 29, 2014. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss diverse topics like changing views of holidays like Thanksgiving and the effect of that on families, Gov. John Kasich, whether or not he is a “squish” or a RINO and his position on the Heartbeat Bill in the Ohio legislature, his understanding of biblical economics and his application of that. We use that to discuss what the Bible says about the law and the confiscation and reditribution of wealth. We also discuss Kasich’s support of Common Core on the same basis.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday October 25, 2014. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis look at both the sense and the nonsense that accompanied the 2014 elections (the “silly season”). We find that, as usual, the nonsense outpaced the sense by a significant margin. It looks like a landslide.
We also dissect an article calling for an “end to mid-term elections” and expose the idea for what it is. Perhaps more importantly we discuss the 6th Circuit Federal Court decision upholding the constitutionality of traditional marriage laws and amendments in states within that circuit’s jurisdiction.
