President Trump defended the West and was reviled as a racist.  That slur is nothing but  a meaningless bludgeon. Can’t tell the difference between the West and the Rest?  Just try using a public bathroom in Bahawalpur and then do the same in Boston. Still not sure?  Okay, time to get dramatic.  Break your leg on the street in Lagos, and then do the same (the other leg) in London.  Getting the idea?  Just try buying a home or starting a business in Teheran and then try it in Tallahassee.  So if the West deteriorates and dies, it is not only bad for you and me,  it is even worse for millions of other human beings.

Do you know any new brides thrilled that their frugal fiancées bought their engagement rings at a flea market for $6.99?  Why is it important for women to get engaged with an expensive diamond ring?  Why don’t women propose marriage to men?  (Hint: A new Rolex watch might be a good way to go)  Is a women who wants to marry a man with a few dollars (or the prospect of plenty) a gold digger or an excellent woman? You’ll be surprised at my answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ayn Rand wasn’t right on everything but she is on these 2 ideas:  “A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions . Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself.”  And this one, “...money demands of you the highest virtues…men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem…who have no moral sense of their right to their money…men who apologize for being rich…”   If you could teach your children only two things, teach them how money works and how male/female relationships work. Teach them well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let’s consolidate Leftism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, and yes, Liberalism, all under one simple but true umbrella---Secular Fundamentalism. Start off with a commitment to secularism, and your soul is automatically tugged left. Reject God and for most the alternative is government. But why Oh why do people who hate private property and despise the “rich” also loathe the traditional family. Why can’t you be a good economic leftist, loving high taxes and government redistribution but loving the concept of the family? It seems impossible. Let’s listen to discover why.

It might have been written over 150 years ago but the part of our soul to which Marx and Engels were singing is still seduced by socialism. Until we are willing to deny the State any rights to our families and to our money, we will always remain vulnerable. Under the promise of security and equality, politicians lure you into dependency. A very bad deal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why are those who support confiscatory rates of taxation usually the same people as those who support increased entitlement spending?  Why do opponents of the death penalty for murder also usually support abortion?  Why do those who consider Christianity to be a bigger problem than Islam want America to resemble Europe?  Why do those who think public schools are doing a great job also generally support transgenderism?  Why do those who feel America’s contribution to the world has been negative also think marriage is only one way, and not the best way, to organize society?  Are these all coincidences or is there some hidden secret force guiding it all?

In this show I describe the many ways that death has unobtrusively invaded our culture. Sometimes it is camouflaged as tolerance or political correctness. Other times such as the assisted suicide and euthanasia legalization movement it is quite blatant. Infatuation with the culture of death underlies much of how ugliness is replacing beauty, vulgarity is replacing restraint, and why C**P and S**T have become part of almost conventional communication. Every A*****E knows that. Flinging those words around is the equivalent of a Guantanamo detainee flinging a bag of his own feces at an American officer. I explain how the world REALLY works, even in these darker corners. So, remember, always choose LIFE!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I judge religion off the behaviors of their devotees. Observe people who follow the dictates of the Torah. Those people are the ones you can look to be model citizens apart of their religion and culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Another island analogy describing what will happen in America, Canada, and Europe, as more and more people go onto government payroll. 77% of women expect man to pay for date. Are they gold diggers? Are they free-loaders? Are they poor? Not at all. Their reasons are not financial. They are emotional and they are valid. We explore just why it is in the best interests of both the man and the woman for him to pay for dinner. And while we’re at it, don’t date him if he doesn’t have a job.
