Liberty Relearned

With the pervasiveness of Critical Race Theory (CRT) which has been used to justify leftist racism, why is it any surprise that there is the rise of hate crimes against Asians and more recently Jews? Since the early 20th Century, Communists have sought to exploit existing racial tensions in America to destabilize our society so it can be brought down and replaced with their collectivist Utopia.&nb...

What is wokeness?  How does it connect to leftism and Marxism?  First and foremost, Wokism is inextricably linked to Leftism and Leftism to Marxism. Marxism, being amoral at best, and immoral at worst, requires the veneer of virtuousness to continue on and grow after its calamitous defeats in the 20th Century. In order to survive, it required a moral component, something to give its adhe...

Dinesh D'Souza addresses the topic of Why Asian Americans Are being Assaulted by African Americans  Here is my take: You don't hear about violence against Asians too much anymore in the MSM.  It doesn't fit their racist narrative of white supremacy being the chief cause of all minority problems. The rise of black on Asian hate crimes destroys the premise that America has a systemic race...

Welcome to season two of the Liberty Relearned Podcast! The President's SOTU Address aka Biden's “We the Government” speech. The target audience apparently was those who lack critical thinking skills and the economically illiterate Why was a bunch of people who have all been presumably immunized against COVID-19 wearing masks at the SOTU? The message the President was evidently trying to send was...

The Liberty Relearned Podcast is one year old!  In this special podcast, I'm replaying a variety of segments from the first year of the podcast. The outtakes cover a range of topics from COVID-19, leftism, Cancel Culture, and of course, conservatism.  Here are the clips:  Conservatism Explained, American vs. World Conservatism Explains American Conservatism and how it differs from c...

In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political...

Celebrating the landmark 50th episode of the Liberty Relearned Podcast. In this episode, we go back to basics. The point of the blog and the podcast are to remind people that liberties, once lost or traded away are very hard to get back. For the life so far of the podcast, our liberties have been under threat, particularly since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis.  It was surprising in some...

At this time last year, it must have felt like we’d never get past the pain and sorrow associated with Good Friday, and go on to the joy of Easter, at least not in our everyday lives. When we think of Good Friday, we think of Jesus’ scourging, his pain, and suffering on the cross. We think of the immense grief his mother and followers must have felt. Many of us were going through our own pain, bea...

Holy cow!  I thought I knew a little about Critical Race Theory (CRT), but this paper recently put out by the Heritage Foundation written by Christopher F. Rufo totally blew my mind.  Please read this article: Critical Race Theory Would Not Solve Racial Inequality: It Would Deepen It. It's a little long but well worth the time to read. Here's a summary from the article: “Critical race theory is an...

1940: “Never was so much owed by so many to so few" British Prime Minister Winston Churchill 2021: “Never was so much owed by so many because of so few.” Liberty Relearned Purveyor, J.P. Mac Biden's Coronavirus Relief Plan Will Probably Cost a Lot More Than $1.9 Trillion (from Reason.com, March 11, 2021)

President Biden addressed the nation on COVID-19. What did he say and what he should have said. What will the end of the crisis look like?

President Biden has a low opinion of Neanderthals and people who love liberty. Democrats love democracy, except when they don't. Cancel culture comes for Dr. Seuss, but there's a more nuanced perspective to the whole thing. Where does the left get the moral authority to cancel anybody?

Did Coca-Cola sponsor racist training? Why are racism and other forms of bigotry wrong in the broader sense? Will America under the Democrats blow right by statism and go straight to Eco-fascism? Conservative Populism and the future of the Republican Party

The Left is waging a war against free speech. Various reasons for this are explored. Why the Left hated Rush Limbaugh (RIP), and hates Donald Trump.

Stop the political theater: Bring the troops back home (from D.C.). Stop putting people in the energy sector out of work. Stop keeping our kids from going to school. A few other things the government should stop.

Trump's legal team will argue, among other things, that the Senate impeachment proceedings amount to an illegal trial by the legislature. You won't hear the last of this even after the impeachment. While the Democrats and the media are happy to see us squabble amongst ourselves over the size of our Covid-19 relief checks, they know that we're distracted from a lot of things in the bill that we wou...

What's the Game Stop controversy all about? Does it have greater ramifications outside of the investment world? Good news (maybe) on the Covid-19 front as Johnson & Johnson gets closer to having their single-shot vaccine approved. How can President Biden manipulate people's perception of the Covid-19 crisis and how he and his fellow Democrats can call off the crisis having done virtually nothing,...

The U.S. is still a republic, but it is now a stretch to call it a *constitutional" republic. How, when, and why did this happen? What was the likely real reason for having 25,000 troops, checkpoints, and barbed wire in the U.S. Capital for the inauguration? What can conservatives, and other non-leftists do to keep pressure on Big Tech, and our elected leaders to support freedom of speech and of a...

The definition of "bigot" is given and how bigotry can refer to political bigotry. The left has an odd philosophical problem, Critical Theory, the theory that undergirds most of their ideology is vindicated trough their recent actions in a way they didn't count on. The effects of tech tyranny are discussed and how it can be fought.

We'd, Jan 6 was a catastrophic day for the republic for many reasons and on many levels. There was violence at the Capitol, resulting in 4 deaths and over 50 arrests. That ended any hope that the President could remain in office by some 1877 type deal. Even worse, the Republicans lost the Senate, opening the possibility of many radical policies being implemented. Still worse, the left is exploitin...

Some of the most popular episodes of 2020 are reviewed. Covered are the reasons for starting the podcast as a way of teaching conservatism. COVID-19 the proposed COVID-19 Bill if Rights. The Gen Flynn case is revisited, as well as some of the civil unrest that followed The George Floyd incident. Why it's OK to love America. Finally some things that could happen in 2021 are explored.

The end of last winter saw a very questionable interpretation of the Constitution leading to the impeachment of President Trump. The spring saw the spread of a deadly new plague ans likewise fear mongering over it. The summer saw massive social unrest prompted by the George Floyd killing. The fall of course meant election season and a lot of dubious election results. This winter will see the fallo...

The first Christmas, the real meaning of Christmas, and what the true first Gift was. A little on how the Judaeo-Christian philosophy influenced America's Founders. How fear is being used to control us, especially with regards to COVID-19.

SCOTUS has elected not to hear two critical cases that might have swayed the 2020 election results. Did they do so out of sound legal principle or out of fear? How fear of COVID 19 makes people ignore the science that should be good news for them.

The evils of utopianism. The three common tenets of utopian schemes . What a Biden mask mandate would really mean. How a vaccine can and should end the crisis.
