The Liberated Citizen

In this episode, I talk about some of the commonly cited issues with military recruiting. With services missing recruiting goals by up to 24,000, this is a serious problem for the continued security of our nation. I believe that there is an underlying problem with culture that dwarfs the above issues. As liberated citizens, we must address this problem head-on and the solution lies at the heart of our republic - duties and responsibilities accompany freedom and liberty as citizens.

In this episode, I explore Dr. King's teachings and speculate on whether he would support DEI initiatives. Join me for the discussion and leave your comments on this topic.

A Washington Post article seems to suggest that if you are poor or conservative and let your kids play football, then you must not care about them. I add commentary that broadens the analysis from a single factor of safety to multiple factors of monetary benefits, status, identity and personal development that all contribute to a better life.

The right to free speech does not allow someone to incite violence through "fighting words" that present a clear and present danger. Some people seem to believe that calling for genocide is protected speech and people should be able to say these things. It is clear to me that calling for the genocide of Jews is obviously anti-Semitism and with the uptick in anti-Semitism attacks against Jews, those calls for genocide present a clear and present danger especially on college campuses across America where there seems to be a lot of pro-Palestinian support and even foreigners who are students who are participating in protests and chants with these very same sentiments, calling for the genocide of Jews through calling for and supporting intifada and globalizing the intifada. What is strange to me is that these college campuses have far more stringent standards of conduct especially when it comes to non-discrimination and anti-bullying policies, yet don't seem to be willing to enforce consequences for clear violations of their school policies or even willing to state that there any violations to speak of and cite free speech. In this episode, we will start with facts and explore this topic to understand free speech and current events at a hearing in Congress where the President of Harvard holds the position that these pro-Palestinian protests and chants can't be considered free speech violations and punishable. Join me as we dive in to see the comments first hand and find the point where liberty and free speech end and prohibited "fighting words" begin.

“This is more than a podcast; it's a movement. This movement did not begin with this podcast, but this podcast seeks to broaden and swell the ranks of those who believe that the ideals of the Declaration and Founding Fathers are still relevant and seek to remold the American Experiment back into line with those ideals. Here, we challenge the status quo, we challenge encroachments on our liberty, we challenge the Orwellian tactics that seek to dominate your thinking. In short, we dare to reimagine what freedom truly means in today’s world. Join us as we re-apply these truths to the modern world, uncover forgotten paths to happiness, tear down barriers to success, and equip you with the tools to carve out a life of true fulfillment. “
