Basecamp for Men E328: Happy 250th America!

E328: Happy 250th America!

 

E328 Introduction

 

Well we are coming up on our great nation’s 250th birthday and we are hosting the World Cup (which has been a smashing success) and DC is getting ready to host a big blowout celebration.

Have you seen all these Europeans, Aussies, Asians, and African tourists raving about our great nation? There is some great videos on IG where these World Cup fans are talking about how great America is. They are raving about the food and the beautiful land and the people and how gracious they have been to the visitors. Doesn‘t surprise me.

The interesting thing is that many have commented that the America they see on social media is a lot different than being here and seeing it and meeting the people in real time. Social media, with all of its Collectivist and anti-American bots can paint an unflattering picture of a group of good people or even a whole nation.

I hope all sorts of Americans can see their country through the lens of all these tourists who are loving America. America is not perfect. We never claimed it was. But to not recognize Lady Liberty and the global appeal our country, its people, our land have on the rest of the world is to be woefully ignorant of the great gift that is America.

Happy 250th America. We love ya!

 

Basecamp for Men E327: Counter Punching

E327: Counter Punching with Special Guest Floyd Brown

 

E327 Introduction

Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. We have written and talked about the narrative war for the past few seasons and today I have the great pleasure of interviewing an American who has had his sleeves rolled up for 40 years or more.

He has written a book that talks about the narrative and cultural war and it is full of truthful and steely-eyed descriptions of the challenges we face. However, it is also strategic and tactical and full of practical advice for Conservative Americans.  He is incredibly optimistic and you all know that I gravitate towards American optimism. I believe that keeping the faith and staying optimistic along with our “can do” attitude and work ethic are our superpowers. I also believe that America has a Divine assignment; a God-chosen nation that is the greatest hope humanity has against the Globalist authoritarian and Marxist adversary that work to demean, demoralize, and diminish our numbers.

Today’s interview is a good one. My guest and I range from the formation of the Uniparty, to looking at how the Marxist influence in education has been the absolute worst thing for kids. We also touch on the legalization of marijuana and how did Covid REALLY come about? We also talk about why getting involved locally is the best way to make a difference.

Let’s get to it Basecampers but first a word from our sponsor.

 Floyd Brown Bio

E327 Final Thoughts

What a great American Floyd Brown. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s a national treasure. And his book is as good as I am raving about. The name is Counter Punch- An Unlikely Alliance of Americans Fighting Back for Faith and Freedom. Go get yourself a copy!
