Skeptic Conservative Podcast #13 – 12/16/2011

…can be found here!

Highlights of the show included flyoverterritory dropping by twice, for likely an hour’s worth of phone time total, and a passionate discussion about lightbulbs.

This show covered:

• A close of the Iraq War
• Thoughts on Iraq and Afghanistan strategy and comparisons to Vietnam
• The whole drone situation with Iran and the civilian vs. military struggle that let it happen
• Thoughts on the Occupy movement and their reclaim ports day that sizzled – specifically Seattle
• Lightbulbs, congress, and you

I have been convinced by the show and the discussion it spurred to eventually do an entire two hours on the ills of progressivism. Certain audience members who shall go unnamed apparently need a quick crash course in why government mandates from on high are a terrible way not only to make a point and to accomplish your goal, but actually encourage defiance and opposition! In a nutshell – it’s not exactly what is being banned, it’s the principle that banning apparently is necessary, and speaks volumes about just how little respect the government has for their people.

Please comment, listen and share, and thanks as always for your time 🙂
