Episode 724: I guess progressives can’t read!!!
by Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior Monday January 30 2017 What an absolute mess there was at some of the nations airports over the weekend!!! There seemed to be instant protest popping up at a few of our nations airports over president Trump’s EO’s on immigration and refugees. For the most part folks did not read the EO’s, and for…
Episode 723: Free-4-All-Friday!!! Don’t be seduced by the dark side!!!
Don’t be seduced by the dark side!!!
There is a political movement that has been around since Woodrow Wilson was president and it called progressivism. Now progressivism sound innocuous, but it is anything but. There is a dark side to it, or should I say that is the only side to it.
Progressivism is based in ethical humanism, which sounds good until you dive deeper into the issue and see what they base their ideas on. In short humanism is based on the evolutionary idea that man is just another animal, and mankind is it’s own highest authority. They believe they can have heaven on earth through the state, and that everyone is equal and all ideas (if they agree with their authoritarian ideas) are of equal value and that there is no good or evil.
This is why most freedom and liberty loving Americans can wrap their minds around ethical humanism, because humanism rejects the notion of individual liberty and freedom!!! The state is the end all be all of ordered society!!!

Episode 722: Christian/Political-Can virtues and morals coexist with humanism?
Can virtues and morals coexist with humanism?
Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America (1835/1840) is one of the books on my reading list. I have read a few chapters and some important point that Tocqueville has made in the book and it is amazing the clarity of thought that Tocqueville has when critiquing the American democracy (Republic) as he traveled around our new nation.
What struck me most in an article I read Tocqueville and Democracy’s Fall in America at thepublicdiscourse.com was his forewarning of our Republics fall if we failed to keep morals, virtue, and equality in their proper places. Tocqueville also spoke of ethics based on what the body politic wanted at the time and that could change in the future and cause the lines of distinction to be blurred on a whole host of things, especially equality.
We all stand equal before God and the law, and what we do with that equality is what defines us and makes us different from each other!!!

Episode 721: Christian/Political commentary-Personal Responsibility
Personal Responsibility
One of the things I have seen as a common theme throughout all the protest that have been taking place,is lack of personal responsibility!!! During the primaries, people flocked to Bernie Sanders because they wanted free stuff and didn’t want the responsibility of securing those things they wanted through hard work and determination!!!
The mobs of unruly thugs over this past weekend prove that people are mad because they see in president Trump, a man who wants them to work for what they have, and not simply have it given to them!!!
The women’s march this past weekend also shows that a small percentage of women (because they don’t represent the vast majority of right thinking women) don’t want to be responsible for their personal choices, and use abortion to try to correct bad behavior. Two wrongs have never made a right and never will.
Until we help one another to return to a God centered, morally-oriented life that preserves and protects freedoms and liberty for everyone, including babies in the womb, this great Republic will fail and the so called rights that these socially irresponsible individuals protest for, will be theirs and this Republic’s undoing!!!

Episode 720: Christian/Political commentary-Do you know what you stand for?
Do you know what you stand for?
There were a lot of protester at the marches over the weekend that did not have a clue as to why they were there. Some folks could not articulate their reasons for marching, only that they were mad at something.
These folks I believe are the professional protesters that come out and are sometimes paid to do so, and cause problems just by being there. For the most part all of the video I saw showed a lot of the people at the marches had no clue about the issues, or worse yet were there because of “fake news” stories that had been debunked days and weeks before, but they didn’t get the memo.
I believe in peaceful protesting, but I also believe you need to know what your protesting and be able to give answer for you actions that is coherent and articulate!!!
