Ep. 570: Was Martin Luther King a Conservative? Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

If you listen to some modern conservatives, not only was Martin Luther King a conservative, but so was Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, among others. Why not Karl Marx? This kind of lunacy shows how ridiculous "Conservative Inc.," is and why it needs to be exposed as a fraud, kind of like "Equality as Conservative."

Ep. 569: David Barton Doesn't Know Nullification Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

If you get your history from David Barton, you are already behind the curve. That is especially true if you listen to Barton about federalism, decentralization, nullification, or secession. The man is more of a nationalist hack than Allen Guelzo.

Ep. 568: The Left Insists on "Civil War" Jan 20, 2022

Show notes

According to leftists, we are already in a civil war, but they wonder over what exactly? To them, it's mean Trump supporters destroying our "democracy." See January 6 and all the rude things they have done over the past five years. But they can't seem to grasp that the real solution is to decentralize power. Nope. To the ideological leftist, the only solution to anything is more government power at the center. I discuss the backwardness of this thinking and the future of America on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 567: Robert E. Lee's Loyalty Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Was Robert E. Lee a traitor? Allen Guelzo thinks so. He also thinks that the nation state prevented extensive warfare from the 17th century forward. But Guelzo does understand that the real issue of the 19th century was centralization. He just argues it was best for the United States. I discuss these issues on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 566: Does Secession Equal Civil War? Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Most Americans think secession automatically leads to war. Why? Because they have been taught to think that from the time they were little minds of mush. And Lincoln. Case in point, a recent article at NPR where the author equates self determination to "civil war." You see, to this numbskull, if people separate, they will have to start shooting. Ridiculous.

Ep. 565: What was the "Civil War" Really About? Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

The American Thinker ran a great piece on the origins of the "civil war." Hint: it wasn't really about the moral issue of slavery. The author calls out such stupidity as juvenile, but what should we expect in a society that celebrates abject stupidity? I discuss the piece on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 564: A War Over the "History of Slavery"? Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

GQ Magazine thinks America is at war over "the history of slavery", at least that is what author and "historian" Clint Smith argues. You see, Smith believes that America has long lied about the history of slavery, meaning that most Americans have never been taught the "truth" about slavery. By the "truth," Smith means the abolitionist positions on the institution before the War. This would be laughable if it wasn't so stupid. No one has ever read "Uncle Tom's Cabin", or seen the picture of "Whipped Peter", or heard that John Brown was a hero. Nope. They only get the proslavery arguments and nothing else. But Smith unknowingly admits what this war is really about: power. It's always been so.

Ep. 563: The 14th Amendment Continues to Screw Up America Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

The 14th Amendment is one of the most destructive legal mechanisms in American history, not how it was originally interpreted, but because the federal court system has used it as a "legislative" hammer to destroy the original Constitution. It is nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. But you still have people on both sides of the political spectrum arguing it is one of the best Amendments in the Constitution. Yes, if you like unchecked federal power.

Ep. 562: "Common Good Originalism"? Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

Conservatives are engaged in a war over the meaning of "American conservatism." Is it Lockean? Is it nationalist? And more importantly, are Alexander Hamilton, John Marshall, John Adams, and Abraham Lincoln the standard for what it means to be an "American conservative", particularly in relation to the meaning and structure of the Constitution? If you think Lincoln was a "conservative", you aren't conserving anything. I discuss "common good originalism" on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 561: Rethinking Reconstruction Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

Helen Andrews recently took a blowtorch to the modern interpretation of Reconstruction, specifically W.E.B. DuBois's work, Black Reconstruction. This won't win her any fans on the left--or the Straussian right--but she was correct in her assessment. I discuss her article and Reconstruction.
