LR Podcast #12: Right vs. Wrong
I discuss some of the non-COVID-19 related demands being made by some teacher's unions prior to returning to work in the fall.
LR Podcast topic: More Left vs. Right
For the segment that I focus on teaching about conservatism I'm thinking of going into greater detail about the differences between right and left. I keep thinking of more differences, I hope I can fit this in to one podcast!
LR Podcast #11: It’s OK to Love America
This week, I talk about how the government undermined their own efforts to make people wear masks to slow the spread of COVID-19. Despite all the claims to the contrary, there are good reasons to love the U.S.A.
On this week’s podcast: It’s OK to Love America
From freeing black Americans from slavery to freeing other nations from tyranny and oppression, America has always taken a lead role. We make and do cool stuff, like build the Panama Canal and send cars into space. We help the less fortunate in our own county and across the globe. Even when it comes to countries that we don't exactly see eye-to-eye with politically, we offer them help in their time of need. In short, there is an awful lot to be proud of if you're an American.
Is America Really a Free Country?
“It's a free country,” as the saying goes. We as Americans have been brought up to believe this. Our Founding Fathers even put it in writing. We say it without giving it much thought. It's cliché. If we were forced to answer this question honestly, could we really answer in the affirmative?
LR Podcast #10: Is America free?
Now under the scourge of COVID-19, it is painfully apparent that we don't have many of the freedoms we thought were guaranteed us, and the celebration of Independence Day, 2020, served as an uncomfortable reminder that freedom is not free and is not guaranteed.
Time to decide what kind of people we want to be.
Nor is an alleged non-understanding or rejection of science on the part of conservatives and libertarians the problem. The problem is in the mandate itself, coming not with the consent of the governed, but from the governmental elite, who consider themselves our moral and intellectual betters. Most Americans it turns out, don't like to be ordered around.
