http://www.allenhuntshow.com/Shows/ The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us live, Saturdays from 9p-12a EST and Sundays 6p-9p.

Second, in trying to do good, the state essentially removed the girls from the family setting they needed most in their hour of tragic loss and anguish.

When the dog grew fatigued and had scuffed paws, they called for help. In the end, they spent the night in the forest with their dog until a rescue chopper could airlift 80 lb. Baxter, labrador, to safety. How outrageous is this? Taxpayer-funded dog rescues. Medics endangering their lives to save a dog. And the potential for that chopper to be needed on a real call to help a human. This is sad when we make a dog the equivalent of a human. Humans have a sacred worth above all other animals.
