It was refreshing listening to Joshua Charles, co-author of The Original Argument along with Glenn Beck speaking with my friend Matt Clark of WAAM Ann Arbor, Michigan because both young men are similar in age, they have a great knowledge of history, and they have a passion to convey their message. Joshua as a young man has done a remarkable job of translating the Constitutional argument of the Federalist Papers from the 1780’s and updating them into a remarkable book that has been selling like hot cakes for over a year now. If you are unsure about how the U.S. Constitution is supposed to be perceived and understood by the general population of American citizens, then you should do yourself a favor and listen intently to the half hour broadcast shown below where Josh and Matt discuss in an entertaining, but explicit way what the Constitution means to the average citizen, and how it’s translation has become lost over time by progressive politicians seeking to eradicate the meaning in favor of their own faulty interpretations. This broadcast is a real treat, so grab a snack and enjoy.
The story behind that interview is a nice one, Joshua had contacted me about the review I did for his very good book and after a bit of correspondence he volunteered to speak at the various liberty groups in the Cincinnati area. CLICK HERE TO READ THAT REVIEW. I told him I’d pass his contact info to the Liberty Twp Tea Party, the West Chester Tea Party, the Lebanon Tea Party, the Fairfield Tea Party and the Cincinnati 9/12 group that I have been affiliated with, so they could set him up with a public appearance and book signing. But I also passed his information along to some of my friends in radio, Doc Thompson up in Detroit and Matt Clark. Matt promptly scheduled the interview you heard above since he is a tremendous fan of The Original Argument and is very hungry to speak with other passionate patriots who are his own age.
If anyone has any doubts about the future of America their minds can be put to ease as they listen to Josh and Matt speak about intelligent translations of what the founding documents meant, and what the Founding Fathers thought of the future. Little by little the tyranny of the past is beginning to crumble away because normal everyday people are waking up by reading books like The Original Argument.
Recently a North Carolina teacher told the students of her social studies class that they could be arrested for speaking badly about President Obama. The students reacted by not allowing the teacher to suppress their freedom of speech by talking back to the teacher rebuking the false statement. Listen to the exchange and notice how the progressive minded teacher lost control of her faculties as she realized that she couldn’t thuggishly impose her political beliefs upon her students.
This is one of the most tragic aspects of our modern age, the tendency of these overwhelmingly socialist minded educators who have suppressed the minds of children with their reckless political rhetoric. Because of these types of teachers, who are in every school in the United States, there are very few young people like Josh and Matt coming out into adulthood, who are so passionate in their beliefs that they will go and read for themselves what the meanings of things are in the world around them, instead of just taking the word of the teacher at face value. The Constitution of the United States intended to provide for the type of dialogue that transpired in the North Carolina classroom. Kids should be respectful while speaking out, because a teacher does have to maintain sanity in a classroom full of kids, but when a teacher crosses the line, the kids have an obligation to set her straight. The damage one teacher like the Obama lunatic from North Carolina can do to society is vast, and she deserves the scrutiny she is getting because of her double talk to the students of her class. She had no right to impose her political views on her students, and if those students accept the teacher’s terms in school, they are likely to accept those same terms when they graduate and become voters.
It has been for many years the sinister plot by progressive politics to undermine the critical thinking of children in public school and robbing from them the ability to think. Progressives like Obama, and the North Carolina teacher would prefer that the children just listen to the authority of the government representative, and to not think. That’s how President Obama has been able to manipulate his way into power by eroding away the United States Constitution in small increments over the last 3 years and President Bush did for 8 years prior, because progressive politics have stolen from young people their wits to think, making them defenseless to the powers which seek to move the world by force through compliance.
Thank goodness it has not worked on all young people and Joshua Charles is a great example of a rare mind who has escaped from the clutches of progressive tyranny intact because he had the passion to read and learn on his own supported by a foundation of spiritual enrichment. His book The Original Argument is such a good work of scholarship that could have only been published by someone of the clout and marketing genius of Glenn Beck that it is truly a work that will shape our world of tomorrow. The interview between Joshua Charles and Matt Clark is but a detailed example of what that book has to offer and is the real source of anger behind the North Carolina teacher. Progressives know that they are losing their grip upon American throats as the Tea Parties continue to push back against large government progressive policies and young people are beginning to rebel away from the clutches of their government school indoctrination agents—school teachers. Progressives know that for their plan to work, society must remain ignorant, and because of books like The Original Argument for the first time in over 100 years, average people like Joshua Charles, and Matt Clark know more about Constitutional Law than most of the current members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. And that scares progressives tremendously. Just listen to the North Carolina teacher and you’ll know how much.
