Eye opening!
Great to hear this information
A most important topic!
I just listened to "Michael Medved discusses the Center on Wealth, Poverty & Morality" and am impressed and encouraged to hear a discussion on such important ideas. There is a great battle going on for hearts and minds, and I'm sure that this podcast will become a great resource for those who love the traditional values that made America great.
