E247: We Welcome Kennedy Liberals

with Special Guest Pamela Garfield Jaeger

 

E247 Introduction

When I had Dr. Mark McDonald on recently, he touched on something that really resonated with me. That traditional liberals (Kennedy liberals) and conservatives actually have a ton in common. That it is really the radical left that is causing the rift with their Marxist ideas of hate America, hate individual freedom, transgenderism and other weird notions disconnected from reality. The leftists, not to be confused with Kennedy liberals, are distorting the real dynamic by using the bullhorn of mainstream media and social media to drown out and attempt to suffocate any unity between conservatives and Kennedy liberals.

Sure, there are differences between these two sides but it is not a gulf. It is a stream that we can cross together, I believe.

These bridge-building episodes have been some of my favorites over the past two or three seasons and maybe my most important ones. I like to think that, even though I am a FORMER Kennedy liberal and I now embrace more libertarian and conservative values, my listeners can still hear my stand for humanity. And if Kennedy liberals and conservatives have much common ground, then this is the group that I want to speak to. Because if these two meet across the small stream we need to cross, then our best days in America are still ahead of us, despite the noise coming from the far left bunkers. Let’s keep finding common ground Basecampers, shall we?

I just love talking with my guest today as you can probably tell. Enjoy the interview.

 

 

 

E163: Truth with Compassion with Special Guest

Roy Holman

 

E163 Introduction

Hello Basecampers. We are winding down season number four but today will be the second to the last instead of the last episode of season four. I am working on a project with Corey (my website guy) to categorize all the episodes so that you and future listeners can easily find what types of episodes they are looking for. So next week will likely be a combination of just me and perhaps a short Basecamp Classic, depending on my creative output.

Today’s episode is a good one I think with my good friend Roy Holman. Roy and I have had similar walkaway journeys. I count him as a trusted friend and fellow truth warrior. When you take this Hero’s Journey and let go of so many ideas and people (like Roy and I and others have) that were part of your earlier chapters, you bring a deep appreciation and gratitude to your newfound friends and travel-companions.

Being singled out as domestic terrorists and a blight to society for standing for personal freedom tends to bond people who are excommunicated from the herd. As you all know by now, I have a deep respect for the brave men and women who stand for truth and freedom. Thank you Basecampers and enjoy today’s episode.
