Episode 875   Putting Americans in harms way

    Do average American citizens have the right  to put other American citizens in harms way?   Time and time again we see natural disasters hit the United States, and time and time again folks stay in harms way when they could’ve easily gotten out of the way!!!

    I love the heart of the American people, because deep down for the most part they want to help others in need.  And that sometimes puts them in harms way.  I glad I live in a country where we are free to help others, and we do.  These folks sometimes risk life and limb to help folks in natural disasters, and they deserve our praise!!!  And after the disaster is over those same American want to help those folks affected to rebuild, awesome!!!

    My question is to those in these natural disasters like hurricanes, and flooding events, is it right for you to put others in harms way to rescue you?  There are a few rare cases where someone just can’t leave an area and I understand that.  But if you have the ability to leave and don’t, do you ever think about those who would risk their lives to rescue you?  And maybe just maybe if you did leave, those rescuers might have more time for those who really needs their help.  Just questioning!!!

Episode 874   Government regulations make natural disasters worse!!!

Ever wonder why when a natural disaster hit America, the outcome is so much worse than folks expect? From hurricanes, to floods, to tornadoes, to wild fires, these natural disasters usually cause more destruction than they should. There are two words that explain it all “government regulations”.

With hurricanes and tornadoes most government regulations are feel good do nothing regulations, that don’t save lives or property. Building codes are usually way behind the times and bureaucracies can’t keep up with new innovations. Why because bureaucracies don’t have any incentive to do so. Insurance companies on the other hand who pay out massive claims have an incentive to keep up with cutting edge tech. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to stop the damage, but new tech can defiantly minimize the amount!!!

Damage from flooding is an altogether avoidable thing. Again government regulations the subsidize flood insurance and allow folks to make bad choices is a bad thing. How fool hardy is it to keep rebuilding homes and businesses in the same place they were when a flood destroyed them? Or even better, towns or cities flood control causes harm up or down stream to towns and cities who don’t have flood control, and wouldn’t need it in the first place if not for flood control up or down stream!!!

Episode 873   Anti-Freedom not Anti-Fascist!!!

The American anti-fascist movement in America is not what it seems. First thing you need to have in order to be anti-fascist are fascist to be anti against. Some estimates of the white, Neo-Nazi, KKK movement in America are around 10,000 or less (mostly less). So if that the case who and what are Antifa fighting?

Some folks who support big government are still made that the Democrats didn’t take the White house in the 2016 presidential elections. So they have thrown every accusation they could lay their hands to at president Trump. Nothing has caught any traction with reasonable thinking Americans, and the Antifa attacks are just the latest. Most of the arguments the anti-freedom folks level at freedom loving Americans have a so called moral component to them. But the morality of the anti-freedom crowd is a fake and phony morality that is geared towards winning hearts and minds. It’d not working!!!

Antifa is for big collectivist government, which suppress freedom and liberty of those it opposes!!! To call their movement noble because they are fighting a non-existent enemy, with force mind you, flies in the face of those who fought for freedom throughout America’s history!!!

Episode 872:  

I’m a Christian, and anyone who knows me knows this. 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 his life for us, no matter how we classify ourselves.

Your skin color doesn’t matter to Jesus, nor any other factor we many come up with to describe ourselves. That fact that some folks think otherwise, is a heart issue, not a skin issue!!! To divide folks up because they have a different skin color than other folks is sinful and has no place in civilized society!!!

God created all of mankind equal, and if you don’t believe this you are calling God a liar!!! God sees our hearts, souls and minds, and not what we look like on the outside!!! We as Americans need to teach each other these basic truths, if we don’t then we don’t deserve to survive as a nation!!! If we don’t condemn hatred everywhere we will never be whole as a nation, and we will not survive!!!
