The Public Square® - 60 Minute Program

The Public Square® 60 Minute Program Hosts: David Zanotti and Wayne Shepherd Producer: Alan C. Duncan www.aproundtable.org (http://aproundtable.org/) This week on The Public Square® Long Format Program: "Baptists and Bootleggers." Say what?? A recent editorial came out with this title. It was talking about the strange bedfellows in today's political mix. No offense to Baptists (we actually defend them in this program) but this week's broadcast is full of surprises. The real conversation is about lawlessness. What happens when a President, Governor or Judge defies the Constitution and takes the law into their own hands? It is happening right here, right now in America. Will the rest of America wake up in time? Please tune in to join the conversation. Topic: Role of Government

Duncan www.aproundtable.org (http://aproundtable.org/) This week on The Public Square® Long Format Program: Nixon Lied. Clinton Lied. LBJ lied...and so on the story goes. Yes, it is depressing and hard to think about. Lying is an equal opportunity destroyer. Democrat Presidents lie. Republican Presidents lie. Is the current President lying about health care? Sorry but somebody has to ask the question out loud. Did he tell a lie to the whole nation in his State of the Union Address and is the media letting him get away with it -- again? Tune in today to hear the full story on The Public Square® with a special interview from Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (TN-7). Guest: Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn Topic: Health Care Issues in America

Duncan www.thepublicsquare.com (http://www.thepublicsquare.com/)www.aproundtable.org (http://aproundtable.org/) This week on The Public Square Long Format Program: Congress and the President didn't read the Affordable Care Act before passing the over 2,500 page legislation. This law has birthed over 10,000 pages (and counting) of federal administrative code and regulations. The politicians passed a law and handed our health care to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who seemingly are making this up as they go. The ground keeps shifting on Obamacare. Lots of things have changed and a whole lot of unexpected consequences have come up because of this law. We share one story today on the program involving the Little Sisters of the Poor. Is there still hope for a way out of this mess? Tune in today to hear more. Topic: Health Care Issues in America
