Ray Suarez is one of my most favorite guests. I've been a major fan since he hosted "Talk of the Nation" on NPR back in the 90s. Is this interview dated? In a way, yes, because it was recorded in 2006. But how prescient it is. When it was broadcast GW Bush was in the White House. We did have to deal with the absurd religiosity that prompted him to make the decisions he did. But now we are still in the throes of some of the most dangerous theocratic movements we'll ever see in the post-Trump era.

I often enjoy reading or listening to accounts of the past just to see how right or wrong the authors were in their assessments of situations. This is an excellent example.
