3y ago2:05

2:05

So a lot of people ask me why the Modernist Perspective tends to be so liberal and how my beliefs got to be that way. Well as many listening to our podcast know I lived in Europe for quite awhile and it changed my perspective on politics quite a bit. In political discourse the overton window or window of discourse is the area of acceptable policies…

The Dangerous Slippery Slope of Texas Abortion Restriction Law 3:05

3y ago3:05

3:05

The abortion restrictions in Texas are downright draconian. It sets a dangerous precedent that not only goes against the fundamental idea of separation of church and state but also could lead toward a theocratic dictatorship. Listen here for our take on just how dangerous a slippery slope this will become for freedom in America. --- Send in a voice…

Putting Afghanistan Withdrawal in Perspective 3:45

3y ago3:45

3:45

A lot of people have asked me my opinion on the Afghanistan withdrawal. While I will save most of my thoughts to discuss later on in our podcast I will in this statement focus on what I think is a failure in comparative analysis on the media's part in accurately putting this crisis in perspective. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spo…

9: The Capitol Siege 44:48

4y ago44:48

44:48

The storming riot that turned into an insurrection in the capitol building was a shocking event that hadn’t occurred in history since 1814.

Statement on Capitol Insurrection 6:03

4y ago6:03

6:03

Yesterdays scene at the DC Capitol building is the most disgusting thing I have seen in politics during my lifetime. At this point we all know who Trump is and what Trumpism does. We've been discussing it since the start of this project. The blame for this is solely on the GOP and the Trump supporters both for letting the joker off the leash and en…

8: Keeping Democracy 46:29

4y ago46:29

46:29

The election is over and yet it seems a great many Republican’s have a hard time grappling with the reality that Trump lost.

A Message on Equivocation and Inaction 1:19

4y ago1:19

1:19

Around election time I constantly see people posting positions that argue both sides are bad so don't bother voting. This is the opposite end of the same fallacy Trump used when he argued there were fine people on both sides when talking about Neo-Nazi's. When you are dealing with one group that has a position rotten to it's core you only lend cred…

6: A Reflection on Principle 44:12

4y ago44:12

44:12

In many ways, not just this election but how we go forward from here will be a reflection on principle. Are we a selfish country that refuses to self-reflect and gets left behind while the rest of the world works together to come up with solutions to better others’ lives and the planet as a whole or do we acknowledge our shortcomings and work to se…

5: Amy Coney Barrett and the Supreme Court 42:56

4y ago42:56

42:56

Capturing the courts has long been a goal of the Republican party. Their policies don't have majority support and there is a lot of evidence their policies don't hold water with the next generation. Often around nominations judges like Barrett say they hold to a certain interpretation of the law but in their careers either move toward becoming ideo…

4y ago43:40

43:40

With an election coming up what have our listeners got to lose if they don't vote or vote third party? Well quite a lot actually and especially with a new conservative justice on the way you can expect Republican's to attack from the courts what they cannot pass through the legislature. Also we have an important discussion about Breonna Taylor and …

Statement on Passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg 5:24

4y ago5:24

5:24

The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a devastating blow both in terms of loss of an important and influential figure in progressive politics but also in terms of representative democracy on the Supreme Court. For a lot of people this seems to lead to a derailment of justice but there are some positive inferences that can be made from all of this.…
