Episode 310: The Constitution Party May 07, 2020

Show notes

After Episode 309 on Justin Amash and the Libertarian Party, several listeners asked me to produce an episode on the Constitution Party. This was easy. I have long been interested in the Constitution Party, and while their current crop of candidates is not that great, I thought an overview of their platform would allow me to discuss the issues related to each. Think locally, act locally.

Episode 309: President Amash and the LP May 02, 2020

Show notes

Justin Amash has decided to run for president as the Libertarian Party candidate. This comes on the heels of such esteemed heavyweights as Gary Johnson and Bob Barr. Does he have a shot? No. Is Amash a better libertarian than either one of those previous candidates? Yes, but he is no Ron Paul, either. I discuss Amash's decision and the Libertarian Party in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 308: America's "republican" Heritage Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

That's not a typo in the title. The late Mel Bradford hit a home run with his essay "A Teaching for Republicans," an essay I bring to you in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. Why? Because he clearly outlines the importance of Roman history--most importantly republican Roman history--during the founding period. This destroys the "proposition nation" myth of the left and the right. This is a first principles episode.

Episode 307: "First Amendment" Protests Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

Protests over "First Amendment" violations by State and local governments have popped up across the United States in recent weeks. Americans have petitioned their State legislators to stop the violation of their "Constitutional right" to assembly or to halt violations of the "First Amendment." This is cutting their nose off to spite their face. Is the "First Amendment" the issue or something else? I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 306: Neo Federalism or Feudalism? Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

Is the United States on the path to a renewed interest in the Articles of Confederation? COVID-19 has certainly forced governors to spare with the general government over how to manage the internal affairs of the United States. This has led to a call for more decentralization and ABC News of all places to cite the 10th Amendment. One writer thinks we are headed for a new feudalism or at the very least new social relationships and community arrangements. These are interesting positions, and I discuss each on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 305: Is Tradition an "Ism"? Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

COVID-19 is racist. Don't believe me? Just look at how the new Left is responding to the virus and government action to tame the pandemic. If you use "Chinese Virus" you are racist. Because the virus has affected the black American community in larger numbers than white Americans, any talk about reopening the economy is "racist." And because Steve Bannon and other "Traditionalist" figures have claimed this will be the end to globalism, you guessed it, the virus is racist.

But this raises an interesting question: Can tradition be an ism? No, and I talk about why in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 304: Trump is the Law? Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Donald Trump has declared "I am the Law!" Judge Dredd is back in town. At least he said this for about 24 hours, but even what backpedaling, he said governors must respect his authority. What has happened to the American presidency, and more importantly, is Trump correct? No, he isn't, but Trump is a symptom of the disease and the infatuation with the American civic religion, i.e. politics. I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 303: The Bomb Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Did the United States end World War II in Japan by dropping two atomic weapons? That has long been the contention, but beginning in 1969, scholars have challenged that position. A fairly recent book by Ward Wilson suggests the bomb had nothing to do with ending the War and was unnecessary. I discuss this position in a COVID-19 free episode. We need more normal.

Episode 302: Locals Only Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

Is it legal for local governments to ban outsiders? This is a pressing question in the quarantine age, and many areas are attempting what just a few weeks ago would have seeming impossible. And it's legal. This is the think locally, act locally renaissance. I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 301: The Only Thing We Have to Fear Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

Franklin Roosevelt delivered one of the most important speeches in American history on March 4, 1933. It is one of the top three addresses in presidential history and perhaps the transformational speech of the 20th century. Why? You probably know a line or two, but most people have never read this short but important speech. Since I can't teach in class right now, you are my class. I discuss Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
