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!

“Today, May 1, was the 20th anniversary of the National Day of Prayer authorized by Congress and President Reagan.

Topics: ben stein, intelligent design, human rights

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.

He got a lot of things wrong and he was a stupendously racist guy, but he was in the category of very, very smart people.

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?
