Principles and Policies Podcast for 5/16/2015- What Does The Pew Research Poll On Religious Faith Really Mean?

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday May 16, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis dissect the recent Pew Research Poll on faith and what the media claim it means. We then discuss what it really means.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday February 21, 2015. Chuck Michaelis introduces a lecture given by Dr. Michael Coffman of  Environmental Perspectives, Inc. at Camp American in 2010. The subject is the fraud of man-made global warming and its use as a tool to restrict your liberty.

Dr. Coffman demonstrates the pseudo-scientific smoke and mirrors that make this kind of reporting possible.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 2/14/2015- The Federal Takeover Of Education Is Rotten To Its Common Core

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday February 14, 2015. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the Common Core, the for-profit companies that benefit from it by supplying the materials and tests, the state politicians who took the federal bait money to adopt the standards and the test packages that generate the money for the companies that now demand minimum numbers of students or the price per student goes up, and how those same politicians are now desperately trying to back away from the now VERY toxic standards and disastrously botched teaching methods.

This political tap dance actually means that your child has a chance to avoid the grossly flawed PARCC testing if HB 7 passes. This is the “safe harbor” bill for students that is currently before the Ohio House of Representatives.
