  4. I'm glad you addressed this aspect of Libertarianism. I could never get on board with their overall philosophy because it lacks a moral center. The whole live and let live approach to life is fine if people are angels but they are not. I'm not going to get into the damage online porn inflicts. There is enough evidence to support that claim. My problem is with the mindset that see's sex work as they call it as a victimless crime. This woman is not alone when it comes to this broader issue. I used to follow Dennis Prager and Prager U but the more I listened to Dennis during his fireside chats, his libertarian views started to rub me the wrong way. Then I watched an interview he did with a man who was doing God's work and fighting sex traffickers at the street level. Prager started going out of his way to draw distinctions between boys and girls who were physically forced into that world versus those who volunteered. The man he was interviewing tried to keep the emphasis on the predatory nature of the evil men and women who were ensnaring these "volunteers" but Prager kept at it, gong way beyond the point of playing devils advocate in my opinion. He kept referring to his "libertarian sensibilities" as the basis for pimps rights. I expressed my disagreements with Prager's arguments in the comment section and said I had heard enough from him to convince me to stop supporting Prager U. His "followers" let me have it pretty good. Just like it is with the left, there are certain Pharisees and wise old men on the right who are off limits when it comes to criticism. I don't believe in purity tests but I am done supporting people who may share one value with me but violate ten others. Like the "brave" commentators who say they aren't worried about being cancelled but then qualify their remarks ("I don't have a problem with transgenderism as a thing," or "I don't have a problem using someone's preferred pronoun out of respect, etc.). Maybe I'm just that crusty old guy but we, as a society, have given enough ground to the demonic forces who are out to end us. Playing nice and adopting "a do what you want as long as it doesn't directly affect me or hurt anyone else" attitude is what got us in this mess to begin with. I'm sorry, but morality and moral codes are not social constructs. They come from God and we compromise on them at our own peril. I think the conservative movement (such as it is anymore) is so hungry for allies and stars of their own that they are willing to overlook any number of red flags and past behavior if the person can help them "own the libs." Bill Maher gets all kids of praise these days because he believes in free speech. But he still despises the right, especially those who have the audacity to believe in God and God's judgment. I could go on but I've said too much already. Go ahead if you want, accuse me of heresy, but keep this in mind; if you fall into the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" trap, are you really that much different then those on the left you have been calling out for years? That's my take on it anyway. Thanks for the video Matt. There is more at stake than tax rates and anti-gun legislation. Anyone who bemoans the good old days when anyone could upload porn on the internet ought to be called out. But the thought process behind why they believe what they believe needs to be vetted a bit more carefully. The devil doesn't restrict his business to any one side of the political spectrum.

  6. Matt hit it on the head when he used the term demonic. And he's right about these people getting jobs and bringing their craziness right along with them. I was part of the management team for a woke-leaning company and we were doing a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). A woman who described herself as a feminist and devout atheist stood up and said that fundamental Christianity posed the biggest single threat to our organization. And we were in the pizza business. 🤔 They may not be legion but they are out there and they are just as pushy in the working world as they are in the campus environment. CEO's are afraid to challenge them just like college administrators are afraid to restore sanity to their campuses. The Humanities have been totally hijacked and the hard left is in charge now. It was heading that way when I was an undergrad 30 years ago but the election of Obama and his Yes We Can BS along with his call to fundamentally change the country energized these budding Maoists and signaled to one and all that the cultural revolution had begun. Personally, I'm not sure there is anyway back. It may come to a divorce because the moderate left-leaning people who still consider themselves to be democrats are bullied by the commies they have played footsie with for years and the commies smell fear and see blood in the water. They are pouncing because like their master they know their window of opportunity is small. All this talk about great resets and the like has emboldened them and sent them into overdrive. Make no mistake this is their religion, their cult, and they are zealots. Many would die for their cause. And don't count on the republican party winning in the midterms to change anything. The Rubicon is in the rearview mirror and we will soon be faced with a hard choice, stay and go over the cliff with these lunatics or separate and let the chips fall where they may. The Boomers have spent this nation into second-class status. The Russians have exposed it with their venture into Ukraine and the Chinese are watching. These blue-haired crazies consider themselves to be the vanguard for a glorious revolution that will finally see the end of the wicked capitalist system they have been taught to despise but they are short on answers when it comes to what will replace it. Satan is having a blast with all of this and his primary agents like Putin and Jinping are waiting in the wings to bring the whole thing crashing down, a promise he made to himself when God created us and put him a position of servitude, a role which he rejected with all his being. Call me nuts if you want. I don't care. But this thing is coming undone quickly and soon people are going to have to choose. Hardship and sacrifice in the name of liberty, or a nice soft tyranny where the powers that be replace God and grant rights to you on their terms. A time for choosing as President Reagan said. To borrow from Paul McCartney, it's coming down fast.

  16. I remember a time when nickel bags and lids were all the rage and most of the people we got them from were penny-anti dealers who sold tiny amounts for the sole purpose of getting a free bag of weed out of the quarter pound they bought. It was the late 60s, early 70s and see didn't see anything wrong with it and it was so ubiquitous in my neighborhood having friends who didn't at least dabble in it was an oddity. It's not like we were shooting heroin. We thought it was harmless, fun and games. Then I started losing friends to the culture. They went on to heavier drugs and died, either from overdoses or living on the street. I know good and damn well most of them wouldn't have taken that next step if they hadn't taken the first when they smoked that first joint. I don't give a damn how many people say the idea that marijuana is a gateway drug is a myth. I've seen it. I've lived it. I've seen what addiction does to families up close and personal. Like anyone, there are a lot of things I would have to say to my younger self if I could step into the wayback machine. One of the first would be to stay the hell away from anything that alters your perception, including, and probably especially alcohol. Above all, I'd tell my younger self to steer clear of marijuana. Some commenters are slamming Matt because he's making judgements on something he has never tried. Well I have. I swam in the deepest end of that pool and I gained nothing from it but heartache and misery. It made life worse for me and people who loved me for what; a "buzz"? It's not only a waste of time, too often it's a waste of life. Recreational users of anything can't get their heads around the effect all of it has on people with addictive personalities. Pushing for the legalization of drugs because you can handle it without considering the effect it will have on those who can't is just as selfish as the lawmakers who see a chance to get rich through kickbacks and tax revenue. Judas got 30 pieces of silver, how much is a soul worth to you?

  17. From what I've read and heard the murdoch kids have been trying to pull Fox to the left for a while. Tucker's not the only one who's out. Dan Bongino is gone as well. He says it was a contract dispute and not at all related to anything else going on over there and I believe him because Dan is a straight shooter. I imagine the network, in a very passive-aggressive way, simply made him an offer they knew he would reject. Hacks like hanity will stick around because they'll do what they're told. Tucker was too powerful for their liking. They'll probably try bush's old press secretary in that time slot but I think they're going to find out pretty quick she is too shallow and vacant to get anywhere near the ratings Tucker got. I don't know the terms of his contract but as soon as he's able he'll start his own thing and become the biggest voice in satellite radio and the digital arena, dwarfing any other independent commentators out there. The Daily Wire can't afford him (thank God) and I don't think The Blaze will be able to pony up the cash to sign him either. You think he spoke his mind before? Wait until he's totally off the leash. I don't agree with everything he says or all the positions he takes but he is fresh and not afraid to take a stand. Look for him to team up with Tulsi Gabbard. They have an affinity for one another anyway and the audience those two can draw from is well in the millions. The bartender was cheering on his dismissal because, well she's a stupid child. He just got bigger you ignorant commie ditz. Good luck Tucker. I look forward to hearing your side of all this when the dust settles. As for Fox, it couldn't happen to a more worthy group of douche bags. Good luck trying to live off gutfeld, hannity, and Ingram.
