Ep. 540: Breaking Up is Easier Than You Think Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

The surprising results of the 2021 elections in Virginia and New Jersey have people on both sides of the political spectrum thinking ahead, but one thing has not changed: America is still a very divided place. One election has not changed that. Should Americans still be talking about secession? And would it be a difficult prospect? Dave Reaboi thinks it would be easier than you think.

Ep. 539: Which Conservative Heroes? Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

In the ongoing struggle to define American "conservatism," the neoconservatives and Straussians have decided John C. Calhoun is either the epitome of evil or a Democrat or both. In other words, he should not be praised for any reason. This raises the question, what Americans should conservatives admire?

Ep. 538: Is the Declaration "Organic Law"? Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

The West Coast Straussians will tell you that the Declaration of Independence is "organic law." This position forms the basis of their "proposition nation" ideology. But is the Declaration "organic law" by definition? And if not, what does this mean for America and more importantly American conservatism?

Ep. 537: Are State Bans of CRT Constitutional? Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Can a State ban schools from teaching CRT? Yes, at least according to the Constitution as ratified. Of course, the legislation cannot violate the State constitution, but if the State avoids that pitfall, it has complete control over schools within its borders. I discuss a new lawsuit against the State of Oklahoma, incorporation, and the 14th Amendment on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 536: Have We Reached Peak Woke? Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

Joel Kotkin argues that woke is going to burn out and that perhaps we've reached the zenith of woke stupidity in America. Maybe. Kotkin, like Michael Lind, thinks the "culture war" hides the real war in America, namely a war driven more by class than culture. I've discussed both Lind and Kotkin on my podcast before, but this piece deserved a discussion.

Ep. 535: An Anti-Slavery Constitution? Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

A few weeks ago I argued that the Constitution was "neutral" on slavery. This didn't sit well with leftist libertarians who contend the document was pro-slavery. James Oaks has written a new book that contends the Constitution was anti-slavery. Are either correct? And what does this mean for America? I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 534: Mona Charen's Neocon Stupidity on Lee Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

With friends like these? Mona Charen wrote a piece last week defending monuments to Jefferson and Washington while insisting that Lee should come down. This has been the neocon stance since 2015. Some deny it while backpedaling--see Victor Davis Hanson--but people like Charen don't hide their stupidity. I discuss on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 533: The Essential Southern Tradition Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

"America" would not exist without the South, nor would American conservatism exist without the Southern tradition. You could also make the same case for American liberalism to some degree. In other words, "America" was the South for much of its history. A recent piece at The American Conservative makes this case, so I discuss it on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 532: Rich Lowry Doesn't Like Secession Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

Surprise! The establishment "conservative" Rich Lowry thinks secession is a bad idea. In a piece for National Review, Lowry criticizes the developing push for secession and classifies it as un-American. This is why National Review is a worthless rag. I discuss Lowry and secession on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 531: Republicans Will Always Be The Stupid Party Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Republicans have decided to try to rehabilitate U.S. Grant's reputation. Why? Because he saved the Union from evil Southerners and brought true democracy to America. In other words, this is political outreach. See, us Republicans have always been the party of black Americans. Vote Republican! It won't work and it's based on bad history. This is why the Republican Party will always be the stupid party. I explain in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
