What Exactly is an Economic Collapse?

Some economists warn that local, state and federal governments are on a course to economic collapse if we don’t change immediately. But what does “economic collapse” really mean? Does life quit? Do governments cease to exist? Dr. David Barker, Ph.D., (www.barkerecon.com) is a former economist with the Federal Reserve Bank.

In the last part of the program we’ll update listeners on the Iran and Middle East situation with a some words from intelligence expert Joseph de Courcy.

Then we’ll move to examine the growing tensions between state and federal governments via a look at the U.S. Supreme Court case on Arizona SB1070, which allows Arizona law officers to enforce federal law. This is just the beginning of a tend toward an extended series of future legal conflicts as states attempt to extract themselves from federal policies for various reasons. Attorney Gary Kreep from the United States Justice Foundation (www.usjf.net) joins the program.

Why is it so many politicos chafe at the U.S. Constitution and would prefer something else? They’re always talking about “human rights” instead of constitutional rights but what are these rights? John’s boralogue examines the whole issue of human rights to see if they’re all they’re alleged to be.

Political Correctness is Killing Us

Today’s program rotates around the effects of political correctness as new values are colliding with older values in trying enforce conformity to the new norms.

Cliff Kincaid from Accuracy in Media (www.aim.org / www.religiousleftexposed.com) engages in a conversation about Catholic hospitals being forced to provide contraception to employees, speculating on whether or not the church made a deal with the devil when it took government funds in the first place.

Then Tim Graham from the Media Research Center (www.mrc.org) follows Cliff for a comparison of the media’s handling of two recent similar controversies to examine whether bias is present or not.

Political correctness is strangling our ability to have reasoned debate in this country, which means it must be opposed at all points because it is a threat to freedom of speech. Peter Feaman (www.thenextnightmare.com) is author of “The Next Nightmare, How Political Correctness Will Destroy America.”

John’s extended boralogue analyzes the fundamental principles around which political correctness rotates and why we can’t win because the rules are confusing and rigged against us. The biggest problem with PC thought is that the catalog of what is right and wrong is ever changing and we have to keep updating our “PC definition database” so we don’t accidentally transgress.

European Crisis by Design

Much speculation about the dubious nature of the European Union’sfuture survival circulates on the internet. However, others believe it’s right on track for its long-term goals and is using the current crisis to achieve them. Dr. Robert Congdon, Th.D., (www.congdonministries.org) joins the program.

Then we’ll interview a Canadian Chinese Christian who was arrested and tortured by security police in China during the Christmas season last year just for wanting to visit a church there. Jenny Chen guests on the program along with Ed Romero from China Aid (www.chinaaid.org).

John’s boralogue compared today’s political correctness about the founding fathers compared to things he found this week at Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello.

The Growing Police State

The Bill of Rights has been dissolving at an alarming rate for the last 30 years, but at an accelerated pace since 9/11. John Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute (www.rutherford.org) premiers on the program with warnings about the dangerous position we’re putting ourselves in.

For several decades the religious right peddled the idea that fighting to put the right people in office would solve a lot of our nation’s problems. Not only is that not working, but perhaps the problem really needs to be solved at a spiritual level first. Chuck Crismier (www.saveus.org) is author of, “The Secret of the Lord,” and he believes that is the only solution as the U.S. heads over a cliff.

Finally, it might surprise you that some early evolutionists were adherents of intelligent design. There is a new DVD out entitled, “Darwin’s Heretic,” and Michael Flannery joins us from the Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org) to discuss it.

John’s boralogue rotates around Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s announcement last week that the Fed would keep interest rates below 1%. It means that inflation is going to become more and more serious as it destroys the middle class.
