Taking time off this weekend but, never fear, there’s a program
here.

Philosophy summer continues with an examination of the role of
religion in influencing politics. It’s quite often suggested that
religion shouldn’t be involved in politics. However, religion has
been instrumental in securing freedom throughout history, including
the civil rights movement in this country. We’ll rerun an
interview with producer Bud Boltman from CNN, dated January 22,
1992 about his book, “Revolution by Candlelight,” which narrates
how movements leading to the downfall of the Soviet bloc all began
in churches.

Then we’ll pick up the mini-thread on globalism with another
history of an organization that was founded to promote global
government: the Council on Foreign Relations, founded by
Woodrow Wilson’s shadow personality, Col. Edward Mandell House
after the U.S. failed to join the League of Nations. Dr. Dennis Cuddy,
Ph.D., author of “The Globalists,” returns to the show.
Remember: it’s not conspiracy; just networking and collaboration.

John’s boralogue explains to listeners how they can defend themselves
from “truth-lies” politicians regularly use to tell you
something that is technically true but in the long run turns out to
be a lie.

A key to restoring much of America’s competitive edge is through
reform of education, which is not happening in public schools. It
is happening however in private and home schools. A new study
confirms that home schoolers are soaring above their government
school counterparts in academic achievement. Michael Smith,
president of Home School Legal Defense (www.hslda.org), details the
study results.

Honduras is struggling to keep its constitution and freedoms
intact, despite much pressure from the global leftist media.
What’s happening in-country vs. the picture the global media report
is like the difference between night and day. That’s why Hondurans
now refer to CNN as the “Chavez News Network.” We’ll hear from
Donald McElvaney (www.missionbarnabas.org), who just spent three
weeks in-country. If Honduras succeeds, it will send shockwaves
through the effort to convert Latin America into a socialist paradise.

Frank Hanna then comes on board to discuss his new book, “Money,
Madoff, and Morality,” about how capitalism and philanthropy are
compatible if the proper use of money is understood.

John’s boralogue addresses America’s coming political and economic
day of reckoning, when its fourth turning crisis will force it to
decide whether it will embrace its heritage of freedom and
capitalism or a new limited-freedom socialist system. The
boralogue also emphasizes how the healthcare debate has flipped
progressives from the role of being establishment fighters to being
the establishment itself with the resulting confusion of what to
do.

After many years, the trial of former Khmer Rouge torturer Kaing
Guek Eav (Comrade Duch) has been underway in Cambodia. Duch was
allegedly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Cambodians
during the killing fields period of the 1970s. The world’s press
has largely been ignoring this story, which is even more strange
because, during his many years in hiding, Duch became a born-again
Christian and was doing work in refugee camps. Paul Chesser
from American Spectator (www.spectator.org) joins the show.

Tucked away in the current healthcare bill is a provision to fund
what used to be called the “Parents as Teachers” program, where
government workers come into homes to teach parents how to parent
according to government standards. We’ll re-air an interview with
Cathy Duffey from 12 years ago about her book, “Government
Nannies,” just to show how many programs and agendas that don’t
make it on the first try, get repackaged into successive bills over
and over again until they pass.

John’s extended boralogue examines why so many people are so upset
about the subject of healthcare reform. He traces the history of
it to the actions of congress over the last four years as more and
more people become convinced that they are being deceived by a
legislative body in serious debt, operating out of touch with
reality.

We’re opening a new thread today, examining national security
issues that are not on the public’s radar screen, but which may
affect us in the near future.

The first issue revolves around internet security during times of
crisis. Should the government have the power to shut down the
internet? Bartlett Cleland from the Institute for Policy
Innovation (www.ipi.org) details broad new legislation to do just
that.

As America waffles between staggering back to capitalism or
plunging into socialism, China flees socialism at a breathtaking
pace; it’s becoming the world’s next economic powerhouse. Why
can’t Americans get the message? Producer Robert Compton returns
to the program with his latest documentary about a reality show
called “Win in China,” which awards investment capital to the best
Chinese entrepreneurs.

Left-wing media this week has been decrying those disruptions at
town hall meetings on healthcare. But wait! Disruptions have been
a staple of progressive tactics for five decades. John’s boralogue
recalls the history of violent left-wing protests, even this year
and then reads Saul Alinsky’s instructions from “Rules for
Radicals,” which puts a lot of current events into a perspective
light.

Don’t tell anyone but it’s August already. Sigh. Must swim
faster.

One of the objections hurled at those opposed to anthropogenic
global warming is that they’re sponsored by the oil companies. But
if we follow the money, guess who gets funded at about a 1000:1
ratio? Here’s a hint: it isn’t the skeptics. Science journalist
Joanne Nova (joannenova.com.au) joins us from her home in Perth,
Australia.

We’re still asking the question: does anyone know what’s in this
healthcare bill? We’re still plowing through the legalese. It’s
really clear that there will be healthcare rationing given the
country’s economic state. So what does that mean for the elderly,
since 70% of healthcare involves those in latter stages of life?
Professor Matt Staver is Dean of the law school at Liberty University
(www.lu.org) and there are ominous provisions in the bill.

John’s boralogue addresses handling truth when discussing things
with your progressive friends whose concept of truth may be
floating and relative. Nail their philosophy to the floor!
