Producer's Desk — politics
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!

General Clark, Senator McCain, and a question of character
posted by Richard Land on 07.04.2008
Topics: politics, election, war, veterans
My latest post to Casting Stones…
“…Schieffer was asking General Clark about his description of Senator McCain as “untested and untried,” and when pressed by Schieffer, Clark said, “I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” While these comments have caused considerable controversy, it is not the first time General Clark has questioned or downgraded Senator McCain’s experience…”

The Second Amendment, guns, and the Supreme Court
posted by Richard Land on 07.03.2008
Topics: guns, judicial nominations, politics, election
From my latest post to Casting Stones:
As Associate Justice Scalia stated in his majority opinion, “The enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. Those include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home.” Scalia’s majority opinion is a masterpiece of jurisprudence and sound legal reasoning…

Christians and Public Policy: More news from the people
posted by Richard Land on 05.09.2008
My latest post at Casting Stones:
“The American people have the odd habit of deciding for themselves what they think is appropriate and then acting accordingly. The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” The facts seem to be that Americans, even those who never attend worship, are more than comfortable with people of faith being involved and speaking out on the moral implications of the public policy decisions facing the nation.”

“Bitter-gate” or “Cling-gate”?
posted by Richard Land on 04.16.2008
Topics: conservatism, culture, liberalism, politics
My latest post at Casting Stones:
I was getting very sleepy as I drove across middle Tennessee the other day, so I stopped to get some coffee at a Waffle House in a rural area.
As I sipped my coffee, I eavesdropped on a conversation among some male blue-collar workers who were raising their cholesterol levels while solving the world’s problems. Sen. Obama’s clinging comments came up and one middle-aged man in bib overalls and work boots said, “I hate to say it, but he sounds like just another limousine liberal to me!”
Does this “cling-gate” story have a shelf life—Yep!
