Talk About Politics On Thanksgiving....If You Know What You're Talking About! Nov 22, 2018

Show notes

I wanted to bring to you a special edition Thanksgiving episode. So much is made about avoiding politics now during large gatherings. I say, just like any topic, if you're knowledgable on it, speak up! In this episode I go over the underlying principle and philosophy behind libertarianism. We talk about common misconceptions about libertarianism, the US/Saudi backed War in Yemen, and rights, freedom and the like. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones! Share the show!
