We Still Hold These Truths

On this edition of our Worldview Wednesday segment of the "Knowing The Truth" radio program (sponsored by World Magazine), I will speak with Matt Spalding author of "We Still Hold These Truths.

In the book, the author outlines our nation's ten foundational principles: "liberty and equality, natural rights and the consent of the governed, religious freedom and private property, the rule of law and limited constitutionalism, all culminating in self-government at home and independence in the world."

"This book recovers the timeless truths on which our self-governing nation was founded and which made America the model of human freedom. These first principles are the indispensable guides policy makers need now." -- Paul Ryan, United States Congress

Matt Spalding is the director of the Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies.

On the second half of the program, I will be joined by Russ Pulliam, World Magazine board member and associate editor of the Indianapolis Star. We will discuss Senator Evan Bayh comments about civility in Congress and why he has decided not to seek re-election.
