About this episode
This episode explores the true meaning of citizenship and the responsibilities that come with freedom in a republic.
What does it actually mean to be a good American? Not politically. Not emotionally. Not symbolically. Practically. This episode explores the true meaning of citizenship, from ancient Rome and Sparta to the American founding, and challenges listeners to consider whether they are living up to the responsibility of freedom. Because a republic is not something you inherit passively. It is something you must actively maintain. If you want liberty, you must become the kind of person capable of sustaining it. The Founders didn’t give us comfort. They gave us responsibility.The question is: Are you carrying it? George’s newest book is available!
