By Gary Dorrien

…ely an extreme version of normal American supremacism, one that explicitly promotes and heightens the U.S.’s routine practices of empire.

Christian Radio, Muslim Radio

By Svend White

…, over the years I have logged in many an hour listening like some wartime code breaker to folks like James Dobson, Chuck Colson, etc. For years, I was a near fanatical listener to Hank “The Bible Answer Man” Hanegraaff of the Christian Research Institute, tuning in like clockwork to his show weekdays 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Washington DC’s WAVA 105.1.
