THE LIBERTY PODCAST - May 16, 2024

The Liberty Podcast distills the tyranny and insanity imposed by the unrelenting Left every day, 24/7. When the citizenry refuses to comply and, instead, rises up as an informed electorate, the Left’s foot soldiers loose their minds and accuse us of posing a “threat to Democracy”. It’s beautiful to behold.

Have you wondered why blatant anti-semitism riots on college campuses raged so violently and for so long? Author and cultural commentator Heather Mac Donald, in a recent analysis, examines the grim turn of events and concludes that “pro-Hamas hysteria is the foreseeable outcome of a belief system dominant not only in academia, but also in (Joe) Biden’s own administration — a belief system in which the West is damned as ‘systemically racist’.”

Mac Donald observes that campus snowflakes and their equally unhinged faculty enablers are not necessarily pro-Palestine or pro-Hamas terror. They do not bother with the facts on the ground in Israel. All they see is the “oppressed” living under the tyranny of the “oppressor”. She writes, “According to the university worldview, whites and the West (the two categories are interchangeable) are responsible for everything wrong with the world, from inequality to poverty. … Israel today is hated as the embodiment of Western civilization. Its modernity and economic success in a region where both are largely absent mark it out as hegemonic and illegitimate.”

Colleges and universities not only are graduating young people who are unemployable and indoctrinated, they are training combatants who threaten cultural stability. They are, potentially, the enemy within.

Also on the radar this week:

- A National Football League star has run afoul of the Left, and even the NFL itself, after delivering a commencement speech at a private Catholic college in which he espoused the virtues of the nuclear family, male masculinity and women who aspire to become “homemakers”. Harrison Butker, a placekicker and Super Bowl champion, gave the boot to persistent societal pressure on women to pursue careers and ignore old-fashioned alternatives such as marriage and child raising while speaking to graduates at Benedictine College in Kansas. Naturally, social and mainstream media rushed to smear Butker’s “outrageous” world view. The graduates seemed to be just fine with his guidance.
- Title IX, authored a half century ago to enshrine equality in sports for women, is being hijacked by the deranged LGBTQ armies of rage, which see an opportunity to further insert themselves into public education. In Moore County, the school board finds itself the target of a federal civil rights complaint stemming from its adoption in 2023 of a parents’ bill of rights. A similar declaration of the rightful role of parents in their children’s education was adopted by the North Carolina General Assembly. The LGBTQers view parents as a potential barrier to teachers and administrators who believe they should be able to help students contemplate gender “transitioning” absent parental approval.
- With a presidential election looming this fall (beginning with early voting as soon as September), and with the Biden regime imploding amid public backlash toward a struggling economy and porous border security, the Left has begun to spin a new fear-based narrative. Keep a close eye on the growing threat of bird flu. Not just in birds and animals. But in humans, too. Bird flu rarely has transmitted to humans but a Stanford medical expert, a former CDC director and Sen. Mitt Romney (a devout Never Trumper) in recent days have sounded alarms that we must begin to take seriously the looming threat of a bird flu … PANDEMIC! Right on cue.
- The state of Minnesota has a new flag. It features two shades of blue but that’s not what caught the attention of writer Jacqueline Toboroff. The Minnesota flag flies displaying an eight-point star, rather than the traditional five-point star that we see as an integral part of the American flag. Why an eight-point star? Apparently certain folks in Minnesota wish to embrace the eight-point star displayed on flags across the Islamic world. Utah has one in the works, too. Vigilance, my friends.
- The battle against “woke” never is permitted a day off. But it’s a battle for the future of our nation and American liberties. Just in time, a co-authored book is available to equip freedom warriors. It is entitled, “Counter Wokecraft: A Field Manual for Combatting the Woke in the University and Beyond”. The 111-page paperback is instructive. Find a copy. We recommend Amazon. It will be your best $22.49 investment ever.
