Blacklisted By History Part 1

November 28, 2008 by GregC

Following World War II, the Cold War immediately dominated the attention of Americans and our leaders in Washington.  But in fighting off communism, several sympathizers were discovered working within the ranks of our own government.  Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was at the center of this political storm.  But how did the ‘Red Scare” originate?  How did McCarthy become the most prominent name associate with the effort to expose and remove communists from high-ranking positions?  And were there really a lot of communists working in the government or was McCarthy really leading a witch hunt?  Those are the some of the questions we tackle as we visit with M. Stanton Evans, author of “Blacklisted By History.”

Founding Faith

November 26, 2008 by GregC

What were the faiths of our Founding Fathers?  Were they deeply guided by their beliefs or just a bunch of deists as some of our history books lead us to conclude?  How did their religious convictions guide them in the revolution, in the crafting of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and in debating whether there should be a separation of church and state?  We ask Stephen Waldman, author of “Founding Faith”.

The Confrontation Part 1

November 26, 2008 by GregC

How well are we doing in the fight against radical Islamists?  Is the decisive progress in Iraq reaping dividends throughout the Middle East?  What are we not doing right or not doing at all that is critical to winning this struggle?  And what are the three keys to actually winning (and not just managing) this war?  Those are the questions we ask terrorism expert Dr. Walid Phares of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.  His new book, “The Confrontation”, is the third in a three-volume series on how best to comprehend and defeat Islamic extremists while also winning the hearts and minds of the Middle East people.
