Detangling a Lynch Mob

John’s boralogue provides listeners with a Middle East Update. The supposedly imminent attack on Iran seems to have slipped onto the back burner for a while. Meanwhile, Islamic countries don’t care much about the Palestinian conflict any more, but never fear, the international left has stepped up to the plate to keep the drumbeat against Israel going.

As the Syrian government kills thousands of their own people demanding reform, we’ll see what’s happening to Christians inside Syria. Wendy Wright is executive director of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (www.c-fam.org and www.christianfreedom.org).

The uproar over the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida grew rapidly to resemble a lynch mob. Every month similar or worse black-on-white or black-on-black crimes occur, but the media sleep through them. So is this case really as important as the trumpeters are making it? Is it possible to achieve reasonable discussion on the issues of race, crime, and gun control? Merissa Davis, author of “Bill Cosby is Right” (www.merisadavis.com) returns to the program for a debate on the subject.

John rounds out the program by reading news stories highlight significant trends.

What’s Next When Global Warming Collapses?

Happy Easter weekend, everyone. Christ is Risen! For a Christian the issue of exclusive truth rests on a single question: Was Jesus who he said he was and if so, that negates any other claimants to truth about paths to God. If his claims are not true, and He did not rise from the dead, then we are truly wasting our time with this Christian “nonsense.” It’s not a matter of personal truth, it’s a matter of cold, hard, loving absolute truth.

We’re taking the holiday weekend off and featuring two interviews.

First, have you noticed the global warming war drums revving up again even as the acceptance of AGW is dying? Ah, but let us not think the global elites don’t have a new crisis to replace the global warming one. This time it will be global scarcity and we’ll be off and running on another twenty years of proposals for more government power and wealth transfer. Dr. Tim Ball, Ph.D., (www.drtimball.com) ties global warming to Agenda 21 and the next crises that will be foisted upon us.

In the debate over Obamacare, why is it so difficult for many Americans to recognize the value of preserving the Constitution? Perhaps, they don’t know what’s in it and how it is the foundation of freedom. Michael Holler is author of “The Constitution Made Easy.” (www.theconstitutionmadeeasy.com)

This weekend we’ll skip the boralogue and jump right into the interviews…and there was much rejoicing.

Spending the Week in Court

The whole country has been watching the Supreme Court’s hearings on Obamacare, but there were other important Supreme Court rulings this week that were virtually ignored by the press.

First up is attorney James Mason from Home School Legal Defense (www.hslda.org). The Supreme Court declined to hear a case involving a home school family where a social worker forced entry into their home on minimal probable cause.

Then constitutional attorney Jonathan Emord (www.restoretherepublic.co) examines the Supreme Court’s favorable decision in the case of the Sackett family in Priest Lake, Idaho. The Sacketts were building a house on property they purchased when the EPA arbitrarily declared their property a wetland, demanded they dismantle the construction, cease use of the property and fined them $37,000 a day until they complied with no venue for an appeals hearing. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case.

The Pope was in Cuba last week. Why does the world media have a fetish about mass murderer Che Guevara, Castro’s henchman? Yale Professor Carlos Eire grew up in the same Cuban neighborhood as Che. He is author of the “Waiting for Snow in Havana,” which won the National Book Award in 2003.

John’s boralogue answers critical emails regarding the debate with Ronald Sider on last week’s show.

Time for a lively debate on the program. The “Ryan budget” made its debut in Congress and with it the inevitable debate. Many seem to think that a combination of taxing the rich and a few spending cuts can bring the deficit/debt problem under control. This is naiveté in the light of the numbers. But what to cut? Some propose caring for those less fortunate is paramount in fixing the deficit. Is this even possible given the level of indebtedness? Ronald Sider from Evangelicals for Social Action (www.evangelicalsforsocialaction.org) is author of “Fixing the Moral Deficit, A Balanced Way to Balance the Budget.”

If there is one group that has been badly cheated by America’s failing public education system, it’s the African-American community. Merisa Parson Davis (www.merisadavis.com) is author of the book, “Bill Cosby is Right,” and she’s got hard-hitting controversial ideas about fixing the problem. She’s also Dr. Cosby’s cousin.

John’s boralogue examines a series of news articles from the week that are silent indicators of where global politics are headed.
