Principles and Policies Podcast for 3/14/2013- A Battle Of Worldviews Exposes True Character Of The Opponents

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Thursday March 14, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss an editorial published in the Washington Post written by a faux conservative former Bush White House speech writer and “adviser” with a dubious political pedigree and a less than zealous attitude toward fact. As you might expect we find some flaws in his analysis of Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster.
