“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.
Happy Independence Day 2020!
This year, more than most, people who love America, especially in some parts of the country hit by strife, need to know that they are not alone. They need to know that we who love our country outnumber the mob who with do destroy it. They need to know that regardless of race, ancestry, or religion that we are all one country, one American people.
From the vaults: Prayer for our Nation (U.S.A)
God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care.
On this 4th of July…
Demand you freedom this Independence Day. In many cities and towns across America, there will be no fireworks, no parades, no large gatherings, but tearing down and defacing monuments will undoubtedly be allowed.

The next LR Podcast Topic: Bigotry
On this week's podcast, I'll be talking about bigotry, what it is and the forms it can take. Are you a bigot? Am I a bigot? Is the person who goes around stealing MAGA hats off of people's heads a bigot? (Spoiler alert: The answer to that last one is yes.)
