CSPOA Alex Newman speech- "I Swore an Oath"

Hopefully the beginning of this in the Mark Finchem interview drew some interest like it did for me. He gets into the history of the Constitution, Magna Carta etc. Swearing an oath and remembering it.

One word of caution about our rights coming from God, there are some Southerners like Brion McClanahan who say this is Straussian/subversion of WHAT the founders' said. I don't follow the argument well but I know some background on it. It's very confusing. Read this before McClanahan:
-Straussians are followers of Leo Strauss and their philosophy is sort of a Machiavellian will to power through deception. This was the mindset behind the neocon (socialist war hawk liberals posing as conservative) takeover of the R Party during the Reagan years and before. Chicago Straussians. Ok, that part is straightforward.

But when McClanahan says Straussian he means "West Coast Straussian" , Clairmont U, Harry Jaffa, Michael Anton, who talk about individual rights coming from God. These are students of Strauss who started their own school in California and discuss American history more than contemporary policy. In McClanahan's view they've changed the meaning of conservatism entirely. I think he sees conservatism as being about State rights instead of equal rights for all individuals.

So there's that.
