The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – When moral virtues are the center piece of education, every aspect of the student has the potential to flourish. Today we take a closer look at what a moral education looks like. Stories from the life of George Washington are full of such moral virtues. Today, we celebrate his First Inaugural Address and the moral virtue he displayed...

PREVIEW: Professor Richard Carwardine explains how the powerful pulpits in the early years of the war derided Lincoln for not seeing the great moral struggle. More later. MARHG 4, 1861, FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Reading through Jefferson's first inaugural address reminds us of the humility and wisdom that our Founding Fathers had, and tells us what Jefferson believed the proper function of government should be.

What is it that we actually fear? In 1932 in his First Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt said something that would change the course of history.

Senator Hatfield, Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. President, Vice President Bush, Vice President Mondale, Senator Baker, Speaker O'Neill, Reverend Moomaw, and my fellow citizens:To a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion, and yet in the history of our nation it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place, as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of ma in the world, this every-4-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.Mr. President, I want our fellow citizens to know how much you did to carry on this tradition. By your gracious cooperation in the transition process, you have shown a watching world that we are a united people pledged to maintaining a political system which guarantees individual liberty to a greater degree than any other, and I thank you and your people for all your help in maintaining the continuity which is the bulwark of our Republic.The business of our nation goes forward. These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people.Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery, and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity.But great as our tax burden is, it has not kept pace with public spending. For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals.You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today.The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades. They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away. They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we've had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.We hear much of special interest groups. Well, our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we're sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truckdrivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans.Well, this administration's objective will be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunities for all Americans with no barriers born of bigotry or discrimination. Putting America back to work means putting all Americans back to work. Ending inflation means freeing all Americans from the terror of runaway living costs. All must share in the productive work of this "new beginning," and all must share in the bounty of a revived economy. With the idealism and fair play which are the core of our system and our strength, we can have a strong and prosperous America, at peace with itself and the world.So, as we begin, let us take inventory. We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people. All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work—work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We're not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope.We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are not heroes, they just don't know where to look. You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates. Others, a handful in number, produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond. You meet heroes across a counter, and they're on both sides of that counter. There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs, new wealth and opportunity. They're individuals and families whose taxes support the government and whose voluntary gifts support church, charity, culture, art, and education. Their patriotism is quiet, but deep. Their values sustain our national life.Now, I have used the words "they" and "their" in speaking of these heroes. I could say "you" and "your," because I'm addressing the heroes of whom I speak—you, the citizens of this blessed land. Your dreams, your hopes, your goals are going to be the dreams, the hopes, and the goals of this administration, so help me God.We shall reflect the compassion that is so much a part of your makeup. How can we love our country and not love our countrymen; and loving them, reach out a hand when they fall, heal them when they're sick, and provide opportunity to make them self-sufficient so they will be equal in fact and not just in theory?Can we solve the problems confronting us? Well, the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic "yes." To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I've just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow, measured in inches and feet, not miles, but we will progress. It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles there will be no compromise.On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, president of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of . . . . On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children's children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom.To those neighbors and allies who share our freedom, we will strengthen our historic ties and assure them of our support and firm commitment. We will match loyalty with loyalty. We will strive for mutually beneficial relations. We will not use our friendship to impose on thei

This is Brad Williams, the creator of “Once Upon a Wasteland.” Our show is a post-apocalyptic science-fiction romance that follows the story of Elizabeth Kirby and Odessa Valdez. They work together to save the civilization that's just beginning to grow in what used to be West Virginia, and fall in love along the way. This is our Season Two Bonus Episode, a prequel to that season titled “Survey the Dark.” We drew our titles from Churchill's “Battle of Britain” speech in our second season after using titles from Lincoln's First Inaugural Address in the first. We released this episode for International Podcast Day, and used the opportunity to take a bit of a breather from what's normally a highly serialized story. We revisited some plot threads from our first season and foreshadowed some from the second, but mostly it's a fun romp, bringing in some… colorful characters that we've only met this once. So far. Thank you for listening to this showcase episode of “Once Upon a Wasteland.” cw: Mild sexual references, occasional light profanity and violence.

This week, Clay Jenkinson discusses Jefferson's first inaugural address with regular guest Lindsay Chervinsky. The speech, inaudibly delivered on March 4, 1801, is regarded as one of the top five in American history. After a hotly contested election, Jefferson was able to say, “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.” Part utopian vision for America, part political theater, part endorsement of the strength and durability of a republican form of government, the first inaugural address was one of the handful of Jefferson's greatest written statements.  Support the show by joining the 1776 Club or by donating to the Thomas Jefferson Hour, Inc.

Summary: Juneteenth celebrates the proclamation read in Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation in that state. While the abolition of slavery is true cause for celebration, Lincoln gets too much credit for what was by his own admission merely a “war measure,” and not enough blame for an unnecessary war.

We’re back! After a hiatus for a week while Steve was overseas, we return to the bar with some new whiskies and a sequel to our last episode that talked about the hysterical attacks on our friends at the Claremont Institute. Little did we know the liberal hysteria was just getting started! Damon Linker, the columnist at The Week and a previous guest on this podcast, thinks our Claremont friends are going all-in for dictatorship. This seems a bit overwrought, but it provides a good occasion for a genuine example of “Caesarism” in the form of Franklin Roosevelt and especially his imperious and authoritarian First Inaugural Address. Most people recall only one famous line from the speech—”We have nothing to fear but fear itself” (did FDR’s speechwriters actually get this from a newspaper ad? We review the evidence). Much less recalled are FDR’s multiple references to how the American people needed and wanted “discipline,” and that he was more than ready to be the disciplinarian, especially if Congress didn’t step up and grant him the extraordinary powers he wanted. Just imagine what the left would say if Trump had said anything like this. Also, is it really correct to call Edmund Burke “the Jane Fonda of the American Revolution”? Curtis Yarvin thinks so, and it briefly throws Lucretia off her game. But not to worry; she recovers quickly and puts Burke back in stir.

On January 20, 1969, Richard Nixon delivered his first inaugural address—the culmination of one of the greatest comebacks in American political history. After losing the 1960 election to John F. Kennedy and then the 1962 California gubernatorial election, Nixon's political career was all but over. Although history remembers him as a controversial president, in this speech, he sought to unite a country in turmoil, ravaged by racial and generational divisions.

On January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy delivered his inaugural address in which he announced that "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." Transcript of President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address (1961) Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge--and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do--for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom--and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge--to convert our good words into good deeds--in a new alliance for progress--to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house. (Abridged) Transcription courtesy of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/henry-gindt/support

With the country on the brink of civil war, Lincoln appeals to his fellow citizens to slow down, think things through, and keep the United States united.

After taking over the duties and responsibilities as an active certified Pilot, Mo Khan expresses his appreciation to the people, especially friends and family, for supporting him throughout his transition as Student Pilot. The night after delivering his First Inaugural Address a couple of days prior, Mo Khan has briefly discussed the inaugural live sessions he conducted with the audience on his active platforms and his plans for the first 100 days of airmanship through this weekly address. In this Weekly Address, Mo Khan addresses the people that cooperation and working together are always going to be a routine during an airmanship that benefits all people, regardless of background and personal preferences, and he will ensure that it happens on a consistent basis. He remains optimistic that the first 100 days of airmanship would be a time where people can learn to get critical takeaways and share them on their own platforms. He lists concrete planning and maintaining established Pilot records remain one of his top priorities in his table. He remains ambitious that this year will turn out to be better and more effective than 2020, Despite 2021 seeming to turn out much different than 2020, he also wants himself and the people to also focus on nailing down the combined areas he specifies to enrich that ambition. He transitions to explaining that it's normal to experience burnout and failures during a journey, and pathways don't have to be mapped all at once. Life is not about getting the right answers all the time, but rather building up patience and self-discipline. He concludes and refers from his Inaugural Address about fulfilling the mission that has been initiated, no matter how hard it becomes along the way, and reminds the people about living up to the responsibilities as global citizens all day, every day.

Thus, the interest of the State in avoiding an Establishment Clause violation may be a compelling one justifying an abridgment of free speech/free exercise otherwise protected by First Amendment.  6.  Constitution Annotated The Free Exercise clause’s purpose is to secure religious liberty in the individual by prohibiting any invasions there by civil authority…But when it comes to protecting conduct…it has long been held that the Free Exercise Clause does not necessarily prevent the government from requiring or forbidding an act.  7.  Smoking peyote and animal sacrifice cases  The test is whether the restriction of conduct is “neutral and generally applicable” and the “time, place, and manner restriction is reasonable”  8. Youngstown v. Sawyer, U.S. Supreme Court (1952) “Steel Seizure Case” The example of such unlimited power that must have most impressed the forefathers was the prerogative exercised by George III, and the description of its evils in the Declaration of Independence leads me to doubt that they were creating the new Executive in his image.  9. Young v. State, WA Supreme Court (1985) Governor lacks inherent power except as delegated by the Constitution or statute. 10. Washington Governor derives power from statute - RCW 43.06.220 (1) The governor after proclaiming a state of emergency and prior to terminating such, may, in the area described by the proclamation, issue an order prohibiting: (b) Any number of persons, as designated by the governor, from assembling or gathering on the public streets, parks, or other open areas of this state, either public or private. (h) Such other activities as he or she reasonably believes be prohibited to help preserve and maintain life, health, property, or the public peace. (5) Any person willfully violating any provision of an order issued by the governor under this section is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.  11.

Article VI of the U.S. Constitution requires Senators and Representatives, members of state legislatures, and all state and federal executive and judicial officers to swear or affirm fidelity to the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech," and the Supreme Court's litigation over the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act each highlight a fundamental question related to that oath: "What does it mean to be faithful to the Constitution?"

Dennis Prager reasons “The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.” 1 I am sure many more have said and believed likewise, but he recently sparked my thoughts that as a government grows in size and scope, certain things shrink as a result. Goodness, particularly defined as people acting charitably to each other dwindles as the government tries to federalize communal generosity. And personal character diminishes while liberties becomes more restricted. In short, more government equates to more laws which stifles personal and corporate liberty, thus, “The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.”To add my thoughts onto this sentiment above in which might be a bit simplistic, but compellingly true, I would add - The bigger the government the smaller the God. I should note that it is not God Himself that becomes smaller but the place of God in people’s lives - that is, faith in God.We see this true in ancient history. The Hebrew people under a Theocracy were led by chosen leaders and prophets. In wanting to be like the other nations, I Samuel chapter eight accounts the Jewish people asking their leader Samuel to give them a King. Both Samuel and God were discouraged by this request and warned of the outcome. The end result in granting the people’s desire of a monarchy was straightforward. Liberties, personal finances, and land would all be given over to the King. Many people would become his slaves as well. As the Jewish people embarked into a monarchy, God’s place in officially governing His people would begin the long process of fading. Ever so slightly, one’s faith for livelihood was not erased, but shifted from an invisible and perfect God to a visible and fallible King.Since then it seems the separation between God and people via governments has only increased as time progresses and consequently, as governments become larger. And as the 18th century has freshly shown, Atheism is the default faith of oversized and unaccountable governments, and wickedness its work. Even a cursory understanding of the age of social catastrophe would confirm the bigger the government, the smaller the god. Socialist and Communist governments are by nature large and by nature atheistic. The Communist dictatorships of China and Russia unabashedly wiped out all religions in its pursuit of imperialistic domination. When the founder of Communism believed that “Religion is the opium of the people” it should be no wonder why places of worship were systematically removed. Even in the National Socialist (Nazis) regime of Hitler, which was against Communism, sparks of true Christianity were equally stamped out. In both Nazism and Communism, there was no room for religion when the government tried to take its place. Thus the bigger the government the smaller the god.Inversely, a small government should equate to a big God. This is seen no clearer than the founding of America. Its young founders made up of Deists and Christians were separating from a monarchial government belonging to the most powerful country in the world. With life and death on the line, the dire circumstances demanded that they placed much faith in God both personally and politically. Is it a coincidence that the people who wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Amendments which all proclaim the intrinsic value of all people worthy of certain unalienable rights - life, liberty, property and the ability to pursue happiness, were the same founders who strove to make and maintain a small government with checks and balances in place so that the budding nation of the United States would not in time become like the other countries whose leaders naturally oppress? They believed, the smaller government the better, and agreed with what Thomas Paine famously wrote, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” 2The acknowledgment of a divine God and the awareness of their human proclivity towards sin played no small part in guiding the United States Constitutional Republic. Their mistrust of powerful men and trust in God’s providence is unquestionable. Washington said “No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step by which they have been advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of his providential agency.” 3The English poet, Percy Shelley wrote that “Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.” 4 If then government is an evil, albeit a necessary one, then it would be wise to keep it as small as possible. Less intrusive governments allow for more freedoms. And more freedoms require more responsibilities from its citizens. That is why Thomas Jefferson said that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” 5 and why he believed that the government is best when it governs least.Until the Prince of Peace reigns with the government upon His shoulders, 6 much ailments of humanity could be lessened if we seek to make mortal governments small and God big.1.

Franklin Roosevelt delivered one of the most important speeches in American history on March 4, 1933. It is one of the top three addresses in presidential history and perhaps the transformational speech of the 20th century. Why? You probably know a line or two, but most people have never read this short but important speech. Since I can't teach in class right now, you are my class.

07/29/2019 Economic Overview & Our Founders Warnings Against Redistribution of Wealth   The Founding Fathers on redistribution of wealth “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816 “A wise and frugal government… shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” — Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801 “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson “Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.” — Thomas Jefferson “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If ‘Thou shalt not covet’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.” — John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, 1787 “With respect to the two words ‘general welfare,’ I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.” — James Madison in a letter to James Robertson In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia, James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object saying: “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” — James Madison, 4 Annals of Congress 179, 1794 “The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” — James Madison “Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression.” — James Madison “If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions.” James Madison, “Letter to Edmund Pendleton,” — James Madison, January 21, 1792, in The Papers of James Madison, vol. 14, Robert A Rutland et. al., ed (Charlottesvile: University Press of Virginia, 1984). “An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — James Madison, Federalist No. 58, February 20, 1788 “There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” — James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 16, 1788 “When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” — Benjamin Franklin “I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.” — Benjamin Franklin “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety.” — Benjamin Franklin “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.” — Benjamin Franklin Via Sweetness & light, Conservative Colloquium, and other sources. See also Walter Williams' collected quotes about the government. These quotes and others make it clear that those who promote "redistribution of wealth" as a task for the government run against the very basic principles underlying the United States of America. This is no detail. What is really surprising is that many of the champions of socialism live in prosperity because of capitalism and because of the fruits of other people's work and the strength of the ideals of the Founding Fathers and their counterparts in other lucky places. Nevertheless, they are not repelled by using their own prosperity as an argument against freedom and capitalism. But these left-wing people's wealth is not a manifestation of socialism. Quite on the contrary: it is a manifestation of the creative power of capitalism combined with their character of parasites. To get a more realistic picture for what kind of a societal arrangement they stand for, you should look into North Korea or Cuba, countries that were transformed according to the ideas of their own soulmates. Are the principles of America guaranteed to exist forever, even if the people and the circumstances are against them? Let me end up with two not quite optimistic quotes: “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” — John Adams “But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” — John Adams

Andrew Jackson is going to manage things much better THAN SOME PEOPLE (cough cough John Quincy Adams)! Some of the ways he will do this include responsible management of money and the armed forces, and appointing more, ahem, "competent" officials.

Life is good, and James Monroe wants to keep making it better! (by peace through strength, improved infrastructure, and a strong economy)

James Madison talks about some countries who are causing trouble (he doesn't name names, but, France and Britain) by fighting each other, and how the US is trying hard to remain neutral, then lists his priorities as President. Also, good job Thomas Jefferson!

In this episode, Thomas Jefferson says we're all really on the same side, and describes his idea of a good government.

In this, the inaugural episode of the Inaugural Addresses Podcast, you will hear our country's very first presidential inaugural address, given by the man himself, George Washington. He gave this address, not at the Capitol Building (it hadn't been built yet) but at Federal Hall in New York City.

January 20, 1969: President Richard Nixon delivers his first inaugural address on the East Front of the Capitol Building.

On January 20, 1969, Richard Nixon took the Oath of Office for the Presidency of the United States.This month, marks the 50th anniversary of that momentous occasion. Richard Nixon put his left hand on the Milhous Family bible held by the new First Lady Pat Nixon. Opened to Isaiah 2:4, the verse reads: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Nixon later said in his memoirs that the major theme of his first inaugural address was peace. On this special edition of the Nixon Now podcast, “An Answer of the Spirit” we unpack the message of peace that Nixon communicated in his first inaugural address. Produced and narrated by Jonathan Movroydis. Edited by Chris Barber.

An edited and simplified version of President Lincoln's First Inaugural Address.

“Auch wenn zwei Staaten in Deutschland existieren, sind sie doch füreinander nicht Ausland; ihre Beziehungen zueinander können nur von besonderer Art sein." ("Even though two states in Germany exist, they are not foreign countries to each other—their relations with each other can only be of a special kind.") First Inaugural Address as West German Chancellor, October 28, 1969” ― Willy Brandt An abandoned factory turned Stasi prison is abandoned and ripe for development when the wall falls. What will be unearthed from beneath the layers of history? To learn more about how Lovecraftesque is played check out our primer episode. The Setup: •brooding & investigative horror •The former East/West divide in Berlin, Late 1980's/early 1990's •Main location: Abandoned Car Factory that later served as a Stasi secret prison, now empty •Additional Locations: a Beirhall on the Western side of Berlin, A rocky quay on the banks of the Rhine, A tiny Catholic church near the main location. •The Witness: Anna Schmidt - A developer, she scouts for real estate deals for a big french firm.

Donald Trump's American Revolution formalizes as he takes the oath of office, hand upon his departed mother's Bible, becoming the 45th President of the United States. We review Trump's historic First Inaugural Address and its call to "open your heart to patriotism." We suggest the American people may be more unified than is commonly thought, with a new Wall Street Journal poll noting their clear number one priority is "keeping U.S. jobs from going overseas." We consider the aims of anti-Trump protesters who appear uncomfortable with the miraculous American tradition of the "peaceful transfer of power." Why did an intolerant leftist get booted off an airplane? Meanwhile, the bust of Winston Churchill returns to the Oval Office and we contemplate Lincoln's First Inaugural Address towards "the better angels of our nature." Trump never gives up -- but, then, neither does the Establishment. History to follow.
