Did you know that the ship that carried the first atomic bomb was blown up by the Japanese? This week on The Public Square® we hear from a U.S. Marine veteran from World War II. Mr. Ed Harrell lived quite an amazing story in the South Pacific in 1945. He was one of the Marines who stood guard over the atomic bomb while it was being transported. He also spent a harrowing five days shipwrecked and presumed lost at sea.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we take a few moments to consider the generation that just one lifetime ago was fighting and bleeding and dying so that we could live free today.

What ever happened to "agreeing to disagree"? That line, so often used for the past 30 years by the Left seems to have disappeared. Today we see a very different side of the political Left and their allies among the media elites. What changed and will the new intolerance on the Left spiral into a higher threat to liberty across America? Will disagreeing with the Left soon cost you a job, your religious liberty or land you in jail?  Join in the conversation this week on The Public Square®.

"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.

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?

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.

Is the right to conscience still alive in America? Or did it die at the United States Supreme Court? That's coming up this weekend on The Public Square®.

James Madison called conscience "the most sacred of all property." Which is the theme of a conversation we are having at the Roundtable right now. As we continue to study the news stories coming in from across the nation on the marriage debate we discover a similar theme. Real people with real families and real businesses are getting wiped out by the U.S. Supreme Court's edicts on human sexuality and personhood. The question is: what happens next for people who simply disagree? Tune in today to hear more.

Yes, we know everyone is talking about the marriage decision -- but we are holding that broadcast just a little longer to solidify our research and resources. So this week on The Public Square® we talk about The Summer Book Club -- the key books that we are reading and how reading changes everything, even Supreme Court decisions. It's a setup for the next story, the Celebration of Liberty live on The Public Square®, and then as the dust settles we face the future of life in America under the rulings of this deeply troubled Supreme Court. All three weeks are connected. So join us as the story unfolds this week on The Public Square®.
