The Liberty Café

Outgoing U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, like many politicians, doesn’t think now is the time to deal with serious assaults against liberty. In this week’s Liberty Café, we look at whether any politicians–including those in Texas–will ever get serious about fighting for liberty.

Whether it is COVID-19 mandates or the city of Houston’s “Vision Zero” plan, most government efforts to “protect” us usually lead to oppression. Join us on Episode 25 of the Liberty Café as we look into why this happens.

Whether or not President Trump wins reelection, the current state of politics exposes the fact that Americans–including many Republicans and and Christians–are not sure if they want liberty. We take a look at this problem this week and at the only path forward to liberty.

Politicians love power. However, most of them understand that “Power to the Politician” is not a very good campaign slogan. This week on Episode 23 of the Liberty Café, we talk with local government expert and liberty lover James Quintero with the Texas Public Policy Foundation about how politicians keep secrets and what can done to get information–and power–back to the peo...

A recent conversation with friends helped me to see more clearly the connection between the Houston Astros and President Donald Trump: liberals hate them both. And as a result we get a lot of fake news about each of them. This week on the Liberty Café we explore what that means for the upcoming presidential election. Hint: do not lose hope.

A lot of folks may find theological debates within the church boring and not worth their time. But what happens in the church is a pretty good predictor of what is going to happen in the culture. Put another way, if the church caves to worldly wisdom, it is a good bet that that the rest of society will soon follow. We draw the lines between church and state–and Trump and Biden–in this...

Over the past 18 years, the Texas GOP has missed two revolutions. Today on the Liberty Café we take a look at missed opportunities and some steps on the path forward to liberty.

In 2016 I did not vote for Donald Trump. But after watching him for almost two years, I decided I would do so in 2018. There are still those out there, though, who are considering not voting for him in 2020 for some of the same reasons I did not four years ago. While I understand where many of them might be coming from, I believe now more than ever that a vote for Trump in 2020 might be part of Go...

Most Americans have been rightfully battling the left to reopen the economy and our lives. But perhaps we should rethink the current push to reopen the public schools, which have produced one new generation after another “who [do] not know the LORD or the work that he [has] done.” Instead of defunding the police, it is time that conservatives and Christians work to defund and eliminate...

Renewable energy disappeared almost overnight from the Western world once we could afford to build the infrastructure needed to benefit from reliable and affordable coal, oil, and natural gas. On this week’s Liberty Café, we discuss how renewable energy will disappear once again if Texans, Americans, and citizens across the world are willing stop their governments from giving billions of the...

Sam Bridgeman, a basketball player, insurance executive, and grandfather, joins the Liberty Cafe to discuss his experiences and thoughts about race, culture, and the church.

Many Christians understand that family and church governments have limited roles, but then give civil government leave to do just about anything it wants. This stems from not looking in depth at what the Bible tells us about the role of civil government and the limits placed on it. This week on The Liberty Cafe we provide a brief overview of the biblical foundation of the role of civil government&...

Don’t believe the slick marketing of the renewable energy industry. “Wind and solar energy are [not] cheaper to produce than that generated from coal or even natural gas.” And never will be. Which why industry participants will spend whatever it takes to force American taxpayers and consumers to continue to fork out more than $9 billion this year to subsidize them.
