  • Where is Bureaucracy on our List of Things to Fix?

    This episode explores the American bureaucracy, its history, and organizational structure from 1789 to 1930 divided into three eras: The Founding Era (1789 – 1828), The Spoils System Era (1828 – 1883, and the Civil Service Reform Era (1883 – 1930). The problems experienced by our bureaucracy during the Founding Era were minor compared to those encountered during the Andrew Jackson presidency beginning in 1829 with his introduction of the infamous “Spoils System” and his flagrant abuses of presidential powers and the rule of law. Jackson’s presidency, perhaps more than any other, is accurately compared to the Trump presidency but on a smaller scale.

  • Is a 'conservative democracy' Right for you? (Episode_010)

    Many people have been told a conservative democracy will make America great again. The reality is a conservative democracy excludes or minimizes secularism and separation of church and state. We explain why that historically increases the potential for war, suppresses compromise, and denigrates the Rule of Law.
