Producer's Desk — human rights

What is “The Producer’s Desk”?

As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.

Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)

We hope you enjoy!

First, congratulations on your successful campaign to become the 44th President of our beloved United States of America. This was a historic election in terms of the massive increase in voter participation as a percentage of the electorate.

I hope you know that there are tens of millions of Americans who did not vote for you who are still very, very pleased that an African-American has been elected President of the United States.”

My latest post at Casting Stones:

“Today, May 1, was the 20th anniversary of the National Day of Prayer authorized by Congress and President Reagan. I had the great privilege of attending the National Day of Prayer Observance in the East Room of the White House. As I left the White House and made my way to a press conference in Senator Russell Park (across the street from the Russell Senate office building) to protest the manifold human rights abuses perpetrated by China and North Korea, I could not help but express my heartfelt gratitude to God for the blessing of having been born in this great country…”

Part 1 of Richard’s interview with Ben Stein is now online.

(Originally broadcast on the FaithandFamily.com radio broadcast.)

“Well, it is not just Darwinian… it is Neo-Darwinism, because Darwin himself, he was an open-minded, broad-minded guy. He was a genius. There are no two ways about that.

Today’s followers of Darwin, they’re little dictators.” - Ben Stein

My most recent post to OnFaith, (a Newsweek/Washington Post blog) responds to this question:

Which “ism” is more entrenched in America, sexism or racism? Which should religion address?

EXCERPT: “…my personal impressions… is that racism is even more entrenched in the American experience than sexism, although both are still alive and well in our society. Globally, I would argue that sexism is more prevalent…”
