Who poses a greater threat to a free society: those who advocate for smaller government or those pushing for ever-expanding government control? Dennis breaks down the dangerous tradeoff of socialism-you might get free stuff, but at the cost of your liberty and dignity. Plus, he answers your questions on homeschooling, doing business with woke companies, finding good friends, and even his preferred pronouns.

Freedom is an easy choice but what we have lost is morality. Freedom brings personal responsibility. Every show on TV and Theaters or online pushes morality farther away from the morality that holds freedom together. The government fosters that immorality and lost sensibility of our understanding of right and wrong.

"Personal responsibility" = blaming victims and ignoring systemic problems. Also, censoring TV and film is the exact opposite of freedom. It's big government. Dennis is a hypocrite because he supports mass incarceration and capital punishment, which are extreme big government agenda items. I'm a libertarian btw.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience

The Bible says that if one would seek friends, he must prove himself to be friendly. Something I told my children: School is your job. Interestingly enough, when we hire on to do a job, we probably know no one that is working there previously. We do not necessarily have to like the people we meet, but we can practice being polite and interested in others. New situations are usually difficult, but I have found if you start looking at what is going on around you, the perspective of more likely to see interesting things, hear interesting things, learn interesting things. The friends and acquaintances will indeed come along, in time, just as Dennis stated.

"Good people gravitate to good people." Not sure I agree with this one. But that might just mean that everyone is bad. This is why people say, "Never meet your heroes." 'Hero' has a connotation that the hero is 'good'. "Never meet your heroes" implies that once you do, you will realize they are 'bad', or at the very least, not as 'good' as you previously perceived. 🤔

So what happens when you and I want the same resource? We are both "free" to try taking it. Eventually, one of us will succeed, thereby depriving the other of their "freedom". Prager's issue is that he doesn't recognize that with every positive freedom (the freedom to do something) comes a negative freedom (the freedom to not be obstructed by others from doing that thing). Your positive freedoms would constantly be threatened without the negative freedoms that government provides.

@jameshildebrand907 You're deliberately obfuscating the topic. You and I and everyone else want to live next to the only nearby water source. We have no legal recourse to decide how to allocate the water. Nature shows that in these circumstances, might makes right. The weak are not free to the water, but the strong are.

@justinsims655 10 дней назад
@jameshildebrand907 Normally when we use the word "resource", we're talking about something you use to make other stuff with, not something you create, e.g., petroleum, coal, wood, etc. If someone with superior innate characteristics or better initial resources blocks you from resources when you don't already have them, you're kinda just boned. This is partly why we banned monopolies. There's such a thing as too much of a head start.

So much drivel, so little time. When it comes to size of government, I'll point out that the USA is ten times the size of the Chinese government per capita. In fact the USA is one of the largest governments in the world. Larger, per capita, than Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Czech Republic, and a whole lot more. One of the things conservatives talk a lot about is "small government", but that's all they do, talk about it. In fact the largest increases in USA government debt were almost without exception Republican govenments. Then there's the issue of women's reproductive rights. Conservatives are opposed, and use the "state" to intervene in what should be an issue between a woman and her doctor. Mr. Prager should consider reading a book.

If anyone's interested, there's a British band called UNIT that released a whole album inspired by and dedicated to Prageru, TPUSA and The Daily Wire. I discovered their You Tube channel a couple of years ago and most of their stuff is excellent. I'm not an agent for the band nor do I know any of them but, to judge from their lyrics, they seem genuine. I found them by typing UNIT Andy Martin The Voice Of Reason into YT which did the trick. They have the entire album as a playlist. One of their tracks features the mighty Ben Shapiro, a couple of later pieces feature Matt Walsh and they do a cracking version of Columbia Gem Of The Ocean, too!

Thats a stupid question. The Government is giving free things to illegal Immigrants, and they didn't fight for freedom. The government is giving free things to illegal immigrants and to people with a particular shade of color/Caucasian. The real people who built this nation hasn't got much of anything. If only the government would give freedom to the real people that built the States, then American Value would mean something.
