16 Years After 9/11, the Time has Come to Slay Political Correctness Ep. 147 Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

9/11 is certainly a time to reflect on the sacrifice of the victims of the greatest terror attack on our soil. But it is also a time, particularly after 16 years of policy failures, to reflect on the root public policy narrative of 9/11: the fundamental job of the federal government and the failures to properly execute it.

At its core, the job of the government is to protect the security and interests of the American people first – before any other interest, irrespective of where the truth of those policies takes us. Sadly, the same political correctness that led to 9/11 is still in place, and even worse in some ways. The best way to honor the legacy of Flight 93 and other heroes of 9/11, from a public policy standpoint, is to ensure that the government does everything it can not just to prevent another 9/11 from occurring but to always place the security of the American people above all else.

In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we bring in Jordan Schachtel, CR’s national security correspondent, to survey the lay of the land 16 years later. We go through our immigration system, domestic Islamic subversion and backwards foreign policy and military strategy that has left us more vulnerable now than before 9/11. It is all rooted in the fact that our politicians no longer represent our interests. They place political correctness and personal relationships above all else.

It’s time to change course and we offer a list of dos and don’ts for immigration and foreign policy that will re-align our policies with the interests of the American people.

Let’s roll!

Conservatives are taking a huge beating ... from Trump Ep 146 Sep 08, 2017

Show notes

This has been the most brutal week of the year for conservatives. Like the supposed hero turning on the people who elected him, Trump is grounding and pounding conservatives on one issue after another – from budgets, debt, and building the wall, to foreign policy, immigration, and Planned Parenthood. Orwell could not have written a plot or narrative with a greater degree of perfidy at its core.

Between the relentless attack on our culture, sovereignty, security, and society from the courts and Trump now becoming a Democrat, conservatives have no voice in Washington or anywhere in power. We go through the budget betrayal, the significance of the debt ceiling, and the depth of perfidy on perverted priorities regarding immigration. Towards the end of the show, we give an update on the Alabama Senate race and a look at next week. The only hope is to first recognize the truth and slay the false idols we’ve been supporting until now.

Today Trump Became a Never Trumper and Elected Schumer President Ep 145 Sep 06, 2017

Show notes

We have a bipolar presidency that has ensured Trump is the PINO- president in name only. Three minutes after he says one thing in order to fulfil a campaign promise, he follows up by saying or doing the opposite.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the late breaking budget betrayal whereby Trump has given Pelosi everything Democrats wanted – and then some. He has given them the debt ceiling, every budget priority, and most insidiously, is tying it to Harvey relief funding. There is more acrimony than ever before in politics, yet the two parties agree on everything when it counts. Trump was elected to change the culture of capitulation, yet he has doubled down on it. We are now incurring the lowest common denominator of the liabilities from both Trump and the GOP congressional leaders. This was evident as well with the immigration announcement and the multiple positions Trump took to undermine our messaging.

While there is a lot of doom and gloom, we must first recognize the severity of the problem and slay the false idols before we rebuild, discover the truth, and return to God.

The Politicians Just Don’t Care about Us: The Clamor to Pander to Illegal Alien Mafia Ep 144 Sep 05, 2017

Show notes

What you are seeing this week with the clamor by both parties to pander to illegal aliens is the most profound violation of the most foundational tenet of the social compact. The job of government officials is to protect the American people from open borders and the ill effects of illegals, not to focus on illegals first and only.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, you will hear the side of the debate over the so-called “dream” amnesty that you will never get from the political class. What about the ill effects of illegal immigration on Americans and the urgency to address their needs before those of illegal aliens? Not only is it the moral thing to do, it is the sacred responsibility of any elected official, deeply rooted in the social contract.

The political class seems to have forgotten the lessons from California and Arizona and the destruction wrought on this country by illegal aliens. Not only is amnesty not the job of our government, it is the source of the incentives that continue to break our borders. How is it moral to give amnesty before securing the border and cutting off the magnets?

Every society from a great nation down to a club had the right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted, there can be room for no complaint.—Gouvernour Morris, at the Constitutional Convention

Cultural Marxism, Judicial Civil Disobedience, False Dichotomies and How we Can Break Out of It Ep 143 Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

The reason the left is so successful is because they hijack every cultural institution within western democracies and use their incumbent power to engage in civil disobedience by delegitimizing laws, traditions, and common sense policy ideas. The use their stewardship and control over the failed status quo to threaten instability in order to perpetuate the most insane ideas and block common sense morality.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we lay it all on the line – going through immigration, Obamacare, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the left and the fake DC conservative elites have successfully paralyzed any opposition and what we can do about it. They speak to the morality of their immorality and are willing to do and say anything to enshrine their agenda immutably. We need to learn from their conviction and speak to the morality of our ideas and be willing to follow through with them unflinchingly. But in order to do that we need a new party and movement with the intellectual and moral clarity and consistency to enact these ideas. Which ideas and how do we succeed? We touch on this, the emerging judicial emergency with crazy judges, and more!

Trump Administration Keeping Almost Every Backward Obama Idea on Foreign Policy Ep 142 Aug 28, 2017

Show notes

With every conservative now pushed out of this administration, it is essentially Obama’s third term on most aspects of foreign policy.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we dissect the essence of this administration’s foreign policy and prove that Obama’s dyslexic foreign policy priorities are continuing. We suck heavy resources down the drains of Islamic civil wars while refusing to use soft power where it is more effective. We are helping our enemies with our own military while alienating allies. We are threatening to cut off aid to Sisi in Egypt while continuing aid to Lebanese [Hezbollah] military and to UNRWA. We are doing more for Iran than they could possibly pay us for, yet we are doing it for free and with the lives and resources of our military.

At the same time, Trump is allying with Erdogen and dumping on the Kurds, while promoting the unreliable Afghani government. One could not possibly conjure up a more backwards foreign policy. And as we demonstrate, the generals are just as much a part of the problem, several of whom are now in civilian leadership.

The Afghanistan Dumpster Fire That Political/Military Elites Refuse to Understand Ep 141 Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Policy doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker. This is doubly true for Afghanistan. Those who unquestionably support the effort to double-down on the current Afghanistan disaster while saying this is somehow a new strategy are not paying attention to what’s going on in the theater. In this blockbuster episode of the Conservative Conscience, we invite Capt. Jarrin Jackson to discuss the reality on the ground in Afghanistan. Using his war stories as a company commander during the height of the previous surge, he demonstrates why, by definition, what we are likely to do is more dangerous and costly nation building that needlessly risks the lives of our troops in pursuit of a utopian goal.

While the president’s address was clearly aimed at appeasing conservatives by focusing on counter-terrorism and not nation building, the conditions were too ambiguous. And given that the generals and the administration staff implementing this policy are all part of the problem, we are headed for the same results as the 2011 surge.

Jarrin, who is running for Congress, left the military because he was so frustrated about the political and military leadership not putting our interests first, following the Constitution, and having the proper regard for the lives of the troops under their command.

Key quote:

Today’s generals are more political than politicians.” ~ Jarrin Jackson

Flight 93 Presidency: What Bannon’s Exit Means for Conservatives Ep 140 Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

Steve Bannon, the great solar eclipse, and Flight 93, oh my! We cover it all and you will see how it ties together.

Following the departure of Steve Bannon, there is really nothing left for anyone on the right in this administration – whether you are a constitutionalist or someone who just wants to drain the swamp. Sure, Trump will continue to tantalize us with his rhetoric but there are literally no personnel left in the administration to sustain those views.

Now is the time to unite behind an exciting an innovative platform and set of principles that are built upon our timeless constitutional values, albeit applied in a way that relates to a broad array of the country to confront today’s challenges. We conclude by discussing how to go about starting a new party.

How Swamp Conservatives and their Failure to Stand for Anything Fueled Alt Right Ep 139 Aug 17, 2017

Show notes

Why is it that we see the rise of a phony alt-right movement and the media obsession with it? Well, those conservatives who are so obsessed with criticizing it are responsible for its rise. The vacuum left by a truly constitutional movement that actually believes in fighting for what it espouses, rather than collecting website clicks and money, would have preempted the rise of such a movement.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the conservative “smart set” ignoring Judge Roy Moore is emblematic of what is wrong with them and why the Republican voters turned away from their brand. It’s why some people are unfortunately attracted to some voices that might identify the problems accurately but are headed in the wrong direction. When confronted with a destructive cultural Marxist agenda, the phony conservative movement did nothing to counter it with Godly and constitutional principles. Thus, our side wants a revolution. Some of us want an American revolution, but sadly many will be attracted to a French Revolution because they are so desperate for leadership. Support for a man like Roy Moore offers a true opportunity to stand beyond this false dichotomy of the status quo or a French Revolution, yet these people who say they want something more than Trump refused to stand with him.

Localism is the Solution to a Painfully Divided Country Ep 138 Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

Once again, we have another tragedy in this country that becomes a political football. Everything, from tragedies and mayhem to sports and weather must become political.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the solution to reconciliation in this country: localism. Because everything is dealt with on a federal level and because we have such a polarized country, everything has become a flashpoint, even issues or events that would otherwise stand above politics. By restructuring our system of government to federalism we will be able to self-sort and enjoy self-government to each group’s linking in their respective areas while preserving national unity on the issues that need to be dealt with at a federal level, such as combating North Korea.

Key quotes

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the federal government. The more adequate, indeed, the federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.” ~ James Madison, Federalist 45
