    Reform That Isn’t Reform

    Reform That Isn’t Reform

    President Obama’s State of the Union address this week touted education reform. Now where have we heard that before? The President’s speech was a compendium of education buzz words, which “educrats” have been slinging around for decades. But how do we expect students to learn to compete in the 21st Century when the very words “competition” and “individualism” are anathema to academics? John’s extended boralogue traces the failed history of education reform over the last thirty years.

    Then Dr. Erwin Lutzer, chief pastor of Moody Church in Chicago, joins the program to discuss his book, “When a Nation Forgets God, Seven Lessons We Must Learn from Nazi Germany”. This topic is relevant because the U.S. is a country plowing into a series of economic and political storms this decade.

    Finally John provides an intelligence update on the significant events happening in the Middle East since the beginning of the year.

    Standing in the Storms to Come

    Standing in the Storms to Come

    The global economic end game approaches, signaled by the onset of a global debt crisis. This event will completely change politics within the countries involved. We’ve had requests from listeners to elaborate what this means for us, so we’ll do that by providing perspectives from two continents; Europe and North America. Claus Vogt is the founder of Europe’s largest contrarian newsletter Sicheres Geld (Secure Money) and author of the new book, The Global Debt Crisis. Herr Vogt joins us for the first hour.

    Secularism has hammered away on removing Christianity as the basis for western morals. First it sought equality, and now its post-modern proponents seek to control Christian belief by using “tolerance” as a coercive club. This will gain steam as legal legal battles form about who shapes the education of our children. Attorney Michael Farris from Home School Legal Defense (www.hslda.org) joins us and reveals what education elites are saying about intolerant Christians, who wish to educate their children in absolute values.

    John’s boralogue ties together perspective from the week’s news.

    90 second news commentary heard on the American Christian Network

     

    Freedom of religion is one of the most precious freedoms we own, but for Christians in the healthcare profession, that freedom is endangered.

    I’m John Loeffler at steelonsteel.com and here’s how it seems to me.

    Our religious beliefs are not just something we’re into like paintball or various types of music. Religious beliefs form a foundation, an ethical way of life that guides all of our moral decisions in an effort to please God.

    But now Christian doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are being told their religious beliefs don’t count; that they must participate in morally repugnant procedures like abortions if they are to continue their careers.

    They are being told to leave their beliefs at the door when they come to work; that they shouldn’t push their values on others; that public consensus or the law trumps their personal religious convictions.

    But wait a minute! Why do others such as Planned Parenthood have the right to push their values on Christians? I thought this was all about freedom of choice? Isn’t that just a bit hypocritical?

    After WW2, Nazi war criminals maintained they should not be held accountable for their crimes because the law at the time in Germany said it was OK for them to kill Jews and commit atrocities. They were just doing, they said, what the law and the public consensus said they could do.

    Well we didn’t agree with them at the trials in Nuremburg, and God doesn’t agree with it either, and he doesn’t care what the common consensus is.

    This trend cannot be tolerated and it’s time for Christian legal organizations to push back. After all, what good is freedom of religion if you can’t practice that religion?

    In Defense of Conscience

    In Defense of Conscience

    Christian health care professionals are discovering increased pressure to perform procedures that violate their religious convictions and beliefs, resulting in discrimination in medical schools and hospitals. Dr. David Stevens, M.D., (www.freedom2care.org) from the Christian Medical Association guests.

    Then we’ll open a new thread for the new year, narrating the current state of geopolitical trends. Brian Fitzpatrick from Worldnetdaily (www.wnd.com) guests with an analysis of the recent U.S-Russia arms control treaty.

    We’ll close with news from the persecuted church in the Islamic world.

    John’s extended boralogue analyzes the verbal media battle that erupted on the talk channels following last week’s tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, revealing how things today are far different than after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, all due to changes in American media.

    90 second news commentary heard on the American Christian Network

     

    After the tragic shootings in Arizona, once again debate broke out as to whether or not angry political rhetoric should be permitted.

    I’m John Loeffler at steelonsteel.com and here’s how it seems to me.

    Our form of government has been an interesting experiment in freedom.  Instead of exchanging blows, bombs and bullets when we disagree,  our founding fathers proposed a better idea:  How about we just exchange words instead?  That’s why we have freedom of speech.

    Now sometimes that speech is angry, but that’s nothing new to American politics because political history in our country has been full of angry rhetoric. Just look at the hateful things colonists said about King George during the time of the American revolution.

    When someone says we have to ban hate speech, you then we have to define what hate or angry rhetoric is, and very quickly it becomes your political ideas somebody else doesn’t like.

    But, they claim, it incites violence.  Well, every society unfortunately has mentally unstable outliers such as John Brown.  John Brown was a radical abolitionist in favor of doing away with slavery prior to the civil war.  You might agree with his cause, but he murdered people in pursuing it and he was executed for his crimes.

    In reality when words – even angry words – are suppressed,  that’s when the real violence begins.  So be very very careful about listening to people who claim we shouldn’t tolerate speech they don’t like.  Because when words stop flowing, freedom and people begin to die.

    I’m John Loeffler at steelonsteel.com and that’s how it seems to me.

    Christian Life in Muslim Lands

    Christian Life in Muslim Lands

    Pray for the secession referendum in the Sudan this weekend, which could separate the Christian south from the Muslim north. The elections could have major positive or negative implications for the Christian community there, depending on the outcome. Oil and Islam’s attacks on Christianity are once again the center of the dispute.

    After the extended boralogue Steel starts guest interviews with an in-depth examination of Christian life in Muslim countries. Juliana Taimorazy (www.iraqichristianrelief.org) is president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council and very familiar with this issue.

    In the last part of the program we’ll examine the influence of globalism on a host of issues from borders to the economy. Dr. Jerome Corsi from World Net Daily (www.jeromecorsi.com) returns to the program.

    John’s boralogue details what follows when politically correct narratives begin to diverge from reality to the point of rupture. He traces the history of the understanding of the nature of truth and why truth as reality rather is always important to proclaim rather than relative created truth.

    Happy New Year everyone and happy new decade.

    Today’s program features some of the more important Steel on Steel interviews from this past decade, including former Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Congressman Bob Barr, Congressman Ron Paul, and G. Gordon Liddy.

    The common theme rotates around the disappearance of civil rights.

    John’s boralogue is a boralogue from 2002. Did we get it right or wrong?
