A Plain Answer: Dupes and Preserving our Constitutional Republic - Dr. Paul Kengor

Redeemer Broadcasting : A Plain Answer

What does it mean when we say a person has been "duped?" George Washington warned about dupes in his farewell address. A "dupe" is a person who is easily deceived or fooled. A person who unquestioningly or unwittingly serves a cause or another person. People can be "nice" and be quite sincere and yet at the same time, be easily duped to embrace a course of action that is detrimental to their health and survival. In the case of our country, we may have representatives who are fooled by those who come in and try to subvert our constitutional freedoms and stability. Are we being naive? Yes, we are. No question about it. Today we talk with a professor of political science at Grove City College. He is also executive director of The Center for Vision & Values, a Grove City College think-tank/policy center. Do you find yourself hearing the news, and then shaking your head? What about the judges as they are reviewed? Is it appropriate to have a religious test for positions in government? What about the "dogma rings loudly within you" concern of a notable Congress woman as regards the Christian faith of a potential nominee? These things make you shake your head and wonder where we are going. We hope you enjoy this lively discussion. The views expressed are those of the participants, who are: Dr. Paul Kengor, Dan Elmendorf
