What Causes Our Strife and How to Fix It - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski starts the show by commenting on the news surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell, Kanye West, and Roger Stone. We need to see the hidden scapegoats in our culture, says David; the media with its negative feedback loop tries to make this impossible for us. What does it mean when someone like Kanye has to delete a tweet because of mob backlash? Part of dealing with this scapegoat culture involves courageously telling the truth. "You don't flinch when you're dealing with the mob." Is it the fault of liberty that we have a consumerist culture? The problem, David points out, is that we have an economic system that empowers the mob and rewards wickedness. Listen to the full episode for David Gornoski's epic refutation of pro-crowd economics and culture.

Ron Paul on Policing, Justice, and Stagnation in America Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Ron Paul, former presidential candidate and champion of liberty, joins David Gornoski to talk about some of the pressing issues our country is facing right now.

On the calls to defund the police, Dr. Paul cautions against involving the federal government while pointing out that the problem of arbitrary violence exists because of government involvement. Dr. Paul urges us to shift our focus on the violent institutions whose very existence perpetuates the problems we're seeing today.

What is the future of politics on educational campuses? Dr. Paul says the situation is ripe for self-proclaimed progressives to take the initiative in demanding change while correcting the socialist movement that crony-corporatism and government bailouts, not free-market economics, are the real problem. The purpose of government is to protect property, Dr. Paul says, but right now the government stands for bankruptcy and the opposite of liberty.

What does Dr. Paul think of Kanye West running for president? How can we move from economic enslavement to prosperity and liberty? Can we rediscover true justice in a myriad of fake justice issues thrown at us by the media? Listen to the full podcast to find out.

Jim Babka on Kanye West, Rene Girard, and Justice - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Jim Babka, President of DownsizeDC.org, joins David Gornoski to talk about the increasing polarization and politicization in our culture. There is far too much shaming going on, Jim Babka says, but what we need today is empathy. "We have turned away from God and replaced Him with idols; and the number one idol is the state." The conversation moves towards the anthropological implications of Jesus' story in our culture today. What makes people default to statism whenever a crisis appears? David argues that we must get to the root of Jesus' revealed anthropology if we are to come across a better understanding of our society and what we can do to love our neighbors.

Plus, Dale Brown of Detroit's Threat Management Center calls in to discuss what can be done to bring crime down without the use of excessive force. Is there a way to reduce violence without engaging in violence? Can human dignity be maintained in the face of potential violent threats? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

What is the Ethiopian perspective on how the West is moving towards victim-garbed, identity politics?

Do Overseas Lives Matter? - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

If the Democrats care about black lives, why are they silent about the suffering of black lives in Libya that was caused by Obama and Clinton? Join David Gornoski as he dismantles the media and their crony corporate allies who pretend to care about black lives but then proceed to shatter black families, both at home and abroad. The left's concern for victims disappears when a minority person has the wrong political opinion; they are quite obviously fixated on sacrificing their political scapegoat. Since the left is obsessed with Trump's every action, will they even have a purpose when Trump isn't around? Listen to the full episode for all of this and more.

Our Vain Search for Scapegoats - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

Our fixation on identity politics, David Gornoski says, is driving our society towards blame games. "We need to continue to encourage people in thinking for themselves rather than groupthink." David takes us through the idea of original sin--the concept that sin exists universally--and how filtering that idea through group identities is a recipe for conflict. "We should always ground our discussion in the protection of the human person." Why is President Trump considered the villain in the politically correct imagination? David explains that it's because Trump does not position himself as a victim to grab power. How do we preserve the sacredness of the human person without coercing our neighbor or falling into victimism?
