Getting On Message: Attempting to Defeat the Religious Right During Bush Parts 1 & 2

Do you know how many times I've heard people ringing the death knell for the religious right? The 1st time was during a sermon given by a Unitarian minister in the 1980s. Yeah, How'd that work out? Even during the GW Bush years pundits were claiming that the movement would be short-lived. And during the Obama years the very naive thought that the Tea Party replaced the Evangelicals with a message of economics over "morality." In no time at all the 2 forces allied to give Obama the shellacking of his life in the midterms. This is why I post all these old episodes. They tell us where we were, and we are able to see how we got to now. Little did we know in 2006 when we aired these conversations with Rev. Peter Laarman about his book "Getting On Message" that the frustrations we were experiencing then by the likes of Focus on the Family, Jerry Falwell and that ilk would pale in comparison to what we had waiting in the wings a decade later with Trump & his misguided minions. Listen. Ponder. Hope. Theme music "Nigal."
