It seems more and more long-term public/private partnership projects are pushed
through various levels of government by a process of incremental stealth, where
the public is never told what the ultimate outcome is until all the legislation
is put in place.

One of these is the Yukon to Yellowstone Conservation Initiative, a copy of
the Wildlands Project, designed to turn much of Alberta, British Columbia, Washington,
Idaho and Montana back into wilderness area. Just one problem: what to do about
all the people living there? Chuck Cushman from the American Land Rights Foundation
(www.landrights.org)
addresses that. As we’ve always said, sound environmentalism has to be based
on sound science and sound economics and respect for property rights.

Then there’s a proposed ruling (04-233) before the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), which could seriously endanger talk radio. It appears to be a back door
fairness doctrine effort to shackle free speech. Tom Read, CEO of the American
Christian Network, joins us in the latter part of the program.

John’s boralogue briefly examines a number of stories, including construction
of a rail line from Kansas City to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico as well as rumblings
inside the scientific community that global warming may not man made after all.
How ever will we tell Al Gore?

Happy Easter Everyone. Christ is Risen.

The issue of race has roared to the forefront in the U.S. presidential elections,
revolving around the person of Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor.
Sigh. Have you ever wondered why the U.S. can never seem to get beyond this?

This is the subject of our hardball discussion with two African-American pastors:
Rev. John Coleman (www.johnecoleman.org)
from inner city Los Angeles and Rev. Steve Craft from New Jersey. (www.christiancitizenshipministries.com)

John does an abbreviated boralogue of world events at the show beginning and
later a brief examination of why reason is absurd if there is no God.

Can you understand the presidential candidates’ economics or the sub-prime
hoo-hah? Well don’t feel badly; you’re not alone.

We’ll spend some time with Dr. Merrill Matthews of the Institute for Policy
Innovation (www.ipi.org) unraveling tax proposals of the various presidential
candidates. Hey, everyone gets deductions and credits! Hooray! But if everyone
gets something, who pays? Here’s a hint: the middle class.

Then John does a step-by-step explanation as to how the sub-prime mortgage
debacle unraveled and what this means for our immediate future.

John’s boralogue challenges secularist notions about Christians, the environment
and economic ideas. A lot of strange ideas are sliding into churches using a
coating of biblical themes to conceal non-Christian philosophy underneath.

A major global warming conference took place in New York this week, featuring
500 scientists and economists, who are a rising chorus of professional voices
challenging the theory that man made activity causes global warming. The majority
of recent scientific studies are backing them up, which is an inconvenient truth
for Vice President Al Gore. Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute
(www.heartland.org), organized
the event and he’s the first guest today.

The we’ll interview another candidate for president, Major General Jerry Curry,
USA Ret., author of the book, "From Private to General." As an African
American he worked his way up through the ranks before the civil rights movement
but still thinks America is a great country and the concept of victim-hood is
a bad idea.

John’s extended boralogue examines what it means to call someone a "progressive"
and what the history of the philosophy has been, beginning with Saul Alinsky.

Today’s show places several items under scrutiny.

We’ll monitor the speed with which the global energy crisis is mounting, even
as politicians and candidates ignore it. Joe Dancy, professor of energy and
environmental law at Southern Methodist University, left his students shell-shocked
this week after his lecture on the real-world condition of global energy supply
and demand. Joe joins us for one segment.

The religious right is breaking up as we watch but then what? The new playing
field is a confusing whirl of crossovers and compromises. SOS begins another
mini-series with Amy Sullivan, Nation editor at Time magazine. She is
both a Democrat and an evangelical.

Then in the last part of the program we air Part 2 of William Federer’s Backfired,
The Faith that gave Birth to Tolerance is no longer Tolerated, picking up
where we left off last week

John’s boralogue summarizes the current state of the global monetary crisis.
