Is the United States a "Christian" Nation?
December 1, 2004(archived broadcast 
)
And what about Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, athiests, agnostics, Unitarians, Catholics who care more about the poor than abortion or homosexuality, non-fundamentalist Protestants, those who are not born again, those who spend more time at football games than church, and those who prefer “Baywatch” over the “Passion of the Christ”? What about gays and lesbians? What about single mothers?
Are we merely guests in a fundamentalist Christian America that, at best, tolerates our heresy?
Mark on the "Les Kinsolving" Show
December 1, 2004(archived broadcast )
Click above to hear the archive of Mark as a guest on the “Les Kinsolving Show” in Baltimore.
The topic is the recent court opinion upholding the rights of colleges and universities to refuse to host military recruiters on campus due to the military policy preventing gay people from openly serving in the armed forces. Mark supports the decision; Les does not. Mark thinks all qualified Americans should be allowed to serve their country; Les thinks the “sodomists” and “buggers” (in Les’ words) should be kept out.

The Death of the Republican Moderate
November 29, 2004[No archived broadcast due to technical difficulties.]
The refusal of the Republican Party to allow Senator Arlen Specter his right to “advise and consent” on President Bush’s judicial picks is perhaps the last step in the transformation of the Republican Party from one of tolerance and fiscal conservatism to one of bribery, corruption, huge transfer of wealth from the poor to lobbyists, yes men, and the imposition of fundamentalist religion on non-believers.
Join us on our National Geographic journey as we examine a species of politician about to go extinct: the Republican Moderate.
Specter joins the ranks of Colin Powell, Christine Todd Whitman, Jim Jeffords, Barry Goldwater, and Gerald Ford. If Richard Nixon were alive, he’d be considered a liberal today.
Run for your life, John McCain! The noose will be around your throat next!
A Call to Action
November 28, 2004The problem with our glorious Constitutional system of checks and balances is that when one side rigs the ENTIRE system (judges appointing Presidents, gerrymandering Congressmen needing only 40% to win a majority, Members of Congress not being allowed to read bills, debate legislation, or investigate Presidential actions, the President lying to Congress, Congress failing to obey its own rules, all three branches conducting secret proceedings, increasing one-party control of the media), there literally is no way out absent a true landslide victory for the opposition party or massive civil disobedience of the kind that happened in the 1960’s or is happening now in Ukraine. The system is broken. We are seeing the Constitution start to fail us as One-Party Rule begins to consolidate itself. And it is scary. George Orwell was right, just 20 years too soon.
