Culture Shocks
Summary: A daily radio show hosted by the Rev. Barry Lynn. You never know what you will hear. The show discusses how America is in the middle of a real, not imaginary, \"culture war.\" It pits people who want to maximize freedom — freedom to believe, freedom to speak, freedom to make intimate moral decisions — against those who want to use government power to push their religious, moral and cultural beliefs on everyone. It is also a battle over which role governments should have in seeing to the needs of everyone in the United States. It is a struggle between genuine populist \"progressive\" values and repressive ultra‑conservative ones.
