About this episode

The episode explores the meaning of patriotism in the context of current political crises in the USA.

Hey y'all, Happy May Day. We're staring down a major deadline here in the USA. Today (May 1st) marks the day that Preident Trump is required to either end military operations (including his blockade) against Iran or go to Congress to get a formal use of force authorization. In light of this and the myrid other Constituional violations the president is guilty of, I thought now would be a good time to explore what it means to be a patriotic American in this time of crisis. I hope you find it enlightening and encouraging. BE COURAGEOUS! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!
