Chris Hedges spoke effectively and articulately about a real problem in this country… I tend to call it the Religious Right, not the Christian Right, since the “God” of the Religious Right is NOT one that is my source of faith or hope.
I felt vey glad to hear someone talk on broadcast radio about a topic that so many are afraid to discuss. This is information that many should be hearing and I sure many did.
Thanks,

Goodday Sonali – Thank you for the many wonderful programs – I am a devout listener and have benefited (and moved to action) by the information presented on many of your programs in the past. A quick note: The Chris Hedges program does not come up when clicked on (you get the Maria Hinojosa program instead). I missed most of this talk because of radio interference (not that kind) from mother nature. I would like to hear the rest of this interesting talk so I will check back later. Thanks for all you do!
