Our Principles and Policies radio show for Wednesday January 18, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis take a look at a clip made by Congressman Charlie Dent and search it for logical fallacies. We are not disappointed.
Congressman Ron Paul took time out from the presidential campaign trail to return to Congress today to vote against raising the debt ceiling (again!). While there he took to the well of the House of Representatives to introduce a bill torepeal the most dangerous parts of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Those sections, which we have been talking about on our Principles and Policies broadcast/podcast for the last several weeks, would allow American citizens to be “detained” indefinitely without access to the writ of habeus corpus by presidential fiat.
According to this story on The Hill’s website, without mentioning his name, Paul also slammed Senator Lindsey Graham who is quoted as stating “When they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them, ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer’†as Graham spoke in favor of the NDAA.
We will keep you apprised of the particulars of Paul’s bill as they become known.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Tuesday January 10, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis analyze two bills before Congress- S 1683 and HR 3166– The Enemy Expatriation Act. Congressman Charlie Dent (R-PA) uses the “appeal to patriotism” fallacy to justify attempting to pass The Enemy Expatriation Act (EEA). The EEA is a bill of attainder and is overtly unconstitutional. Dent argues that it is necessary to “modernize our response” to the “war on terror” which is itself an impossibility.
