Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday December 28, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis analyze a recent statement by Newt Gingrich who sold himself as a conservative while abandoning conservative principles at the earliest opportunity for his entire political career.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 12/8/2012- Monopolies, Fiscal Cliffs, And Bribes

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday December 8, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis take a deeper look at governmental shenanigans involving Ohio state government created monopolies in the coin and metal business. We discover some very odd things and wonder what will happen now that the State of Ohio has been discovered with its hand in the cookie jar.

We also take a look at US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner and his demotion of prominent conservative Congressman from key committees and his open threats to “practice discipline” against anyone who tries to hold the line on taxes and spending. Still think Boehner’s a conservative?

Principles and Policies Podcast for 12/6/2012- How To Make Sure A Treaty Is Not Ratified

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Thursday December 6, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the attempt in the US Senate to force-ratify (in a lame duck session) a hot mess of a treaty (The UN Convention On The Rights Of The Disabled) that was, like all UN treaties, a surrender of US sovereignty. The proponents even wheeled in, fresh from his hospital bed, liberal Republican icon Bob Dole. We posit that this was not the best PR after the recent defeat of liberal Republican icon “wanna be” Mitt Romney.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 12/1/2012- Who’s Still Afraid Of An Article V Convention? We Are!

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday December 1, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis critically analyze an article which attempts to make a case for an Article V constitutional convention to “balance the budget.” We make the case that the Constitution is not the problem- our representatives are. This is a repeat of a show run on Saturday March 17, 2012. The danger is back!

Principles and Policies Podcast for 11/30/2012- How False Assumptions Lead To Bad Conclusions

Principles and Policies Podcast for 11/29/2012- The Republican Establishment And Democratic Legislators Think The First Amendment Is Bad For Their Power Structures

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Thursday November 29, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis expose the “reasoning” of Republican and Democratic politicians who decry the First Amendment as an impediment to their ability to maintain their power bases. Republican Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted and Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson (yes, THAT Hank Johnson, the same one who actually suggested that too many people on Guam would cause the island to tip over) are convinced that freedom of speech, association, and the press are just too dangerous to them to be allowed to operate during campaigns.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 11/17/2012- What a Secession From Rational Response Looks Like

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday November 17, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis attempt to explain  how blind emotion rather than a well thought out strategic campaign is behind the more than 600,000 signatures on secession petitions sent to, of all places, the White House.
