Great Vocal Majority Podcast

In a NY Times Op-ed, retired Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens reminds us our precious inalienable rights under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are under attack by the likes of him and those of similar mind.

In 1951, Democrats of conscience mistakenly defended a Soviet spy, Alger Hiss. In 2018, Democrats with a history of lying and without a conscience are attacking the President for colluding with Russia without any evidence.

Despite the lack of evidence and an investigation that has lasted over a year, leftists continue to believe Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia to win the election. While there is little doubt that the Russians stepped up their interference to unprecedented levels of intensity, certain members of the media as well as government officials hostile to President Trump, have treated Russian Election interference and the alleged collusion by the Trump campaign interchangeably.  This is terribly misleading to the average American.  The former is a fact supported with evidence, but the latter is little more than suspicion based on mistrust born out of Trump’s shocking upset of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential race. The Democrat Party rank and file are being misled here.  But their disappointment and dislike of Trump has fueled belief in conspiracies.  It’s a self-destructive trap not unlike lemmings running off a cliff.

Since November 8th 2016, the left has been suffering through PTSD. This is some heartfelt advice and perspective

Deconstructing the premise behind the NFL player protests

 Let me begin with my conclusion: politicians do not solve problems. They live off them. They may careers off them. They enrich themselves by perpetuating these problems. Often, they will make a problem worse, which will compel greater demand for their intervention and resolution. But can you think of any social problem that was ever solved through the intervention of politicians and government? Some my counter that the issue of slavery  was resolved through government and politicians. While it is true that the institution of slavery in America was "solved" by the Civil War, it was not the wars original purpose, even though it might have been its most proximate cause. Slavery was ended by Lincoln to give the north a moral justification for the horrendous waste of life with such a bloody war. Still, it required force of arms and many elements of American society today live with the aftereffects of this solution to the problem. Social ills of less fundamental importance than slavery  have found no solution amon

The effect of Obama's transformational change in the Trump Era

THE "BATTLE OF IDEAS":  FROM FDR TO LBJ TO REAGAN The debate between the left and the right has often been called, "The Battle of Ideas."  For Progressives, the pinnacle of their power was reached when President Lyndon Johnson enacted the Great Society and War on Poverty programs of the early 1960s.  Johnson saw himself as a Progressive in the mold of FDR, who guided the United States through the deprivations of the Great Depression through a series of interventionist policies, most of which proved to be largely ineffective, but were great public relations for activist and interventionist government.  It gave the public the impression that their elected leaders were making every effort to alleviate their suffering.  How well the programs were working was almost besides the point and without having a better idea, the Republicans were seen as anachronistic, almost brutish. The Left rejoiced when Johnson declared War on Poverty.  Their ideas would finally be put to the test and all the world would be able to wit

THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY: FROM WILSON TO MARX By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American society was undergoing transformational change, ushered in by the Industrial Revolution. The changes were profoundly affecting the way ordinary people lived and worked. Industrialization, the growth of cities, European immigration the emergence of captains of industry and monopolistic corporate power demanded a reaction. Whenever profound changes occur such as those experienced at the turn of the 20th century, it isn't altogether surprising that those with unchecked power will tend to act in their own interest at the expense of others. In America, the unchecked power of business over labor led to labor organizing as a countervailing check on that power. This was a natural consequence of the rapid development experienced at the time, but it was not painless. By 1900, and for about the previous 50 years, new political and economic philosophies were becoming popularized. Two of the most prominent were Progressivism an

FBI Director James Comey was fired for all the right reasons, but the reaction of Democrats has been irrational and incoherent.

How did America today become so divided?  This is first in a series explaining the origins of our current day divisions by looking at the historical roots. THE EVOLUTION OF THE AMERICAN COUNTER-REVOLUTION FROM THE FOUNDING TO THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes." Speaking for the Continental Congress, Jefferson was making the point that the American Revolution was not the spontaneous uprising of a mob, but the result of a long series of events, culminating in the Declaration he largely authored. The result of our American Revolution was the establishment of the first new form of government in 5,000 years of human history. The United States of America was the first country established on the basis of an idea. It was the first time any country or any government anywhere or at any time gave recognition to the dignity and sovereignty of the i

The March for Science is supposed to be about science. It's about politics.

Fox News's firing of Bill O'Reilly was a victory for the crusading fascist left that seeks to silence all conservative voices in the media. The left poses a grave threat to freedom of political expression and that threat is growing.
