America is in the middle of a culture war, and the winning side will decide how much freedom we really have as a nation - freedom to believe, freedom to speak, and freedom to maintain our individual identities. Culture Shocks takes a daily look at the outrageous conduct of those trying to undermine Americans' personal liberties. Along with guests from across the ideological, religious, and political spectrum, Culture Shocks examines current and perennial controversies that cut to the core of American values.
The show is hosted by the Rev. Barry Lynn, an ordained minister, constitutional lawyer, noted activist, and longstanding civil libertarian. Because of his position as executive director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and his past involvement with the American Civil Liberties Union, he's a popular guest on shows like Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor, MSNBC's News With Brian Williams, and CNN's Crossfire, as well as at national conventions around the country.
He has battled every major conservative figure from Bob Barr and William F. Buckley, Jr. to Jerry Falwell, Phyllis Schlafly, and Pat Robertson. A former co-host of Mutual Broadcasting's Pat Buchanan and Company, Rev. Lynn also co-hosted a weekly news wrap-up with Colonel Oliver North.
"I like bright people, and Barry's a very bright person."
-- Colonel Oliver North
"Barry Lynn is an intolerant jerk."
-- Pat Robertson
