Liberty Relearned

Bonus Commentary The World Economic Forum just wrapped up their annual get together of would-be dictators and oligarchs at Davos, Switzerland. However, it was not all plotting on how to best rule the world at the forum. President of Argentina, Javier Milei had some words for the WEF and their collectivist tendencies. Milei introduced the members of the WEF to a totally new ideology: Libertarianism...

It's 2024 and the Israel vs. Hamas war is still in the news. Pro-Palestine demonstrators get violent in Washington, DC, but no arrests reported as of yet. They don't like that President Biden isn't anti-Irael enough. Hamas spent billions of dollars creating their vast network of terror tunnels while their people lived in poverty. Where did they get the money? In short, from fools and e...

From 1/30: Dystopic Journal: Has the WEF's Influence Plateaued? The World Economic Forum met in Davos, Switzerland. Their focus-- use climate change alarmism to drive economic policy.

We've just waited through three weeks of Advent. Imagine waiting though three centuries, or three millennia, as our pre-Christian brother and sisters did. Over 2023 years ago, a savior was born. ...A savior. People today tend to think of Christianity, the Bible, as a rulebook, a mere list of things they can't do. But we as Christians don't celebrate on Christmas Day the birth of a rule...

Young Americans give a frightening response to a poll question about Israel's right to exist. This shows how pervasive cultural Marxism has become in our society. This article from Just the News is an excellent illustration of how Cultural Marxism leads to support for deeply immoral causes, like that of Hamas. Sources Cited: Most young Americans say Israel should 'be ended and given to Ham...

Liberty Relearned is about not just relating interesting news stories to the audience, but also exploring the conservative/libertarian principles at play in each story. Hopefully, you've gotten a chance to listen to or watch parts one and two of my two-part look at Israel in a post-Hamas world. Rather than make this "Part III" of the series, I've decided to do this episode as a k...

In part two we look at the motivations of the Israeli people following the massacre of 10/7/23 and see that it's not dissimilar to the mindset of Americans after 9/11/01. We also look at Israel's detractors, those who attend pro-Hamas rallies. They have a different concept of morality that allows them to wink at the atrocities committed by Hamas.

PT 1. The war against Hamas in Israel is back on after a brief ceasefire. The Israelis have determined to totally defeat Hamas in Gaza, and then go after those who planned and lead the massacre that occurred on 10/7 Israel plans to hunt down Hamas leaders after war in Munich-style plot | Just The News Israel says it started military offensive in southern Gaza 'no less powerful' than one in...

Back in 2010, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that multiculturalism had "utterly failed". Thirteen years later, The PVV party (Party for Freedom) of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, has won enough seats in their parliamentary elections to make him the next Prime Minister. After decades of dominance by the globalist left in Europe and elsewhere, the pendulum seems to be swingin...

I thought I was done with commenting on COVID and the Draconian measures that were taken in the name of protecting us from it. Turns out, I'm not quite done. I have to comment on this story from Just the News; New York Times editorial board acknowledges 'startling' COVID learning loss | Just The News The lockdowns and the policy of keeping kids out of school violated at least two princ...

In this episode, we give thanks to and for our Veterans and the sacrifices they made. Is American still worth their sacrifice, and is it still worth fighting for? A recent article in the Daily Signal deals with that question. It is, but if so, then why is it so hard to find men and women willing to fight for it? Can we take the fact that America is worth fighting for, for granted? Lots of people t...

Recent events in Israel have led to the Left taking sides in the conflict, for Hamas and the Palestinians. This exposes some blaring inconstancies in the logic of their position. They universally claim to be against Nazism but seem to be quite comfortable with many of the more infamous practices associated with the Nazis: Authoritarianism, political violence, eugenics, and most recently they'v...

5 Things That Scare Conservatives. A police state. The government using law enforcement to pursue political goals. Out of control government spending. Increased spending causing more inflation, even hyper inflation. CBDC, or a central bank digital currency. Would give the central government nearly total control over how its citizens live. Institutionalized election fraud. The Democrats would like...

Collectivism, and its derivative forms of communism, socialism, and fascism are historically, and demonstratively evil. Collectivism is part and parcel of leftism, the belief that the world runs on a binary, oppressor vs. oppressed system. Though leftism in its myriad forms has been responsible for the deaths of millions, and impoverishment of billions, is nonetheless attractive to a large section...

Good and evil exist and what occurred in Israel this past weekend was an object lesson on the nature of pure, unadulterated EVIL. There is no rationalizing, no political justification for the massacre of innocent men, women and children. There's no time for “but both sides do it” moral equivalency. Both side's DON'T do it. Only one side executed babies, only one side took hostages, onl...

Biden freed up $6B of Iranian money. Weeks later, Hamas attacks Israel. Further proof that the Left never, ever, thinks of the second or third order consequences of what they do. Biden thought he could buy off the Iranians by freeing up that $6B. The Iranians instead put that money to use funding a Hamas war against Israel. One more reason why we need to #impeachbiden There are several reasons why...

The government is bringing back central planning, you know, because it's worked so well every other time it's been tried. Not for nothing, but central planning is a feature of both fascism and communism. Just Sayn'. The Biden regime continues to wage war on fossil fuels with its new proposed edicts regulating gas-powered furnaces. This will add to the cost of such items for what benefi...

Talking about a Northeastern Democrat being caught up in a bribery scandal is becoming a recurring feature here on the Podcast. This time though, we have a new name: Sen. Bob Menendez, (D NJ). He's being accused of selling influence to a foreign entity. Unlike Biden, Menendez is being indicted. There are calls from Democrats for his resignation. Apparently, he's more easily replaced at the...

Finally, we have an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Despite what you may have heard, and what the media tell you, there is plenty of evidence of Biden family corruption that could be used against Joe Biden in an impeachment trial. Now the Republicans have to be smart, disciplined, and put together a case as prosecuting attorneys would in a criminal case. This week, we do a proper Dyst...

Here’s a real quick thought. I go through great pains to use precise language when it comes to talking about Left and liberals. The two terms are commonly conflated, but it is ever apparent that they are two different groups. The modern Left want something very different than classical liberals. Many, including in the conservative commentary space use the term, out of habit, even carelessly. So, w...
