There are certain ideas as a Christian that I hold as truths in my life, and one of them is, Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of humanity!!! Jesus loved us that much, that he gave…

Everyday that I do show prep, I find more and more propaganda and yellow journalism coming from the anti-freedom lamestream media!!! It’s no wonder folks can’t get a firm grip on…

On of the most fundamental freedoms we have in America, is free speech!!! Our great republic was founded on the idea that men and women have the freedom to speak their minds!!! All of our other God given rights hing on our ability to engage in civil public discourse!!!
There is a movement today that started back in the early 1900’s to use the law to quell political speech. And in using the laws to limit free speech , those folks created the idea that if you allow someone to speak their mind, then you must also agree with that person. If that were the case, no one would know what they stood for in the first place!!! I support everyone’s freedom of speech, even when I would spend the rest of my life opposing what was said!!!
The anti-freedom groups are using labels to try to silence those they don’t agree with. Hate speech is so subjective that you can’t even qualify it. Calling folks Nazis, KKK, or any other label who are not part of those ideologies does nothing but foster true hate for those who are the labelers!!!
Freedom must be defended at all costs, but violence must never be used to promote freedom. Preaching the ideas of freedom and liberty are the best and brightest way to defend our freedoms and liberties!!!

Episode 869 Peace though strength, not force!!!
Now some folks may disagree with me on the title of my show, but give me a minute to explain. Military peace can only be obtained through strength of arms, and the use of those arms. In the marketplace of ideas, peace through strength means the strength of your argument. Force can never change hearts and minds!!!
If you have a good idea, that may lead to an ideology, then you need to present it in the marketplace of ideas with strong, reasoned arguments. Logic, facts, truth, and patience are the bedrock of a good argument. Being willing to air out your ideas, if they have merit, will only strengthen them.
The reason why anti-freedom groups don’t like the marketplace of ideas, is because most of their ideas have been put into practice in the past and failed. They never see that their ideas have failed, they only see that they are smarter than those who have gone before so they will succeed because of their superior intellect over their forebears.
Individual freedom, when put into practice, and the ideas that support freedom and liberty are introduced into the marketplace of ideas, they always withstand the test of time, and idiocracy!!!

Episode 868 With all the noise from the alt-right and the alt-left, our nations history is being drowned out in a sea of accusations from both sides of the political spectrum. This quote was shared with me “Black people who were never slaves are fighting white people who were never Nazis over a confederate statue erected by Democrats, because Democrats can’t stand their own history anymore and somehow it’s Trumps fault? Interesting!”
What is missing is the main reason the Civil war started in the fist place, taxes!!! The tariff act of 1828 was an unfair act for the south, because it did nothing to protect southern production of the crops that were grown there, and it enabled the north to exploit duty free import of the same crops the south grew! The south sought relief, but the crony capitalist who controlled the federal governmnet didn’t care.
Vice President John Calhoun “warned that if the tariff of 1828 was not repealed, South Carolina would secede. It cited Jefferson and Madison for the precedent that a state had the right to reject or nullify federal law.” 1States rights over the federal governmnet were at stake in the south, and in this matter the US Constitution was on the side of the south!!! Slavery wasn’t an issue until the north needed to rally the troops to win an unjust war!!!
