Steve Baker - The Pragmatic Constitutionalist
Progressives have incrementally eroded away our freedoms for decades. Incrementally, we must begin taking them back. THE PRAGMATIC CONSTITUTIONALIST IS... . . . GUIDED in philosophy and political activism by one simple axiom: “There’s the world we want, vs. the world in which we actually live.” Purist libertarian ideologists imagine a world and human interactions in which all beings don’t care what you do with and to yourself — or in interactions with similarly consensual persons — so long as those activities do not negatively impact anyone else’s life, property, or pursuits. In other words: we should, individually, be able to do whatever we damn well please, so long as we don’t “break the bones or pick the pockets” of anyone not also voluntarily engaging in the same, said activities. The “PRAGMATIC” view understands that human nature is not so simplistic. A majority of humanity are going to choose “safety over liberty.” Most people prefer governmental remediation over free-market solutions . . . even though both are ultimately the product of HUMAN ideas and administration. How are humans who run big government any better than humans who run big corporations? How about humans first be allowed to “run themselves”— for better, or worse? . . . A CONSTITUTIONAL libertarian, but in no way associated with the Libertarian Party. While I hold many things in common with that Party, I have found them to be, well – a typical political party. As such, they are often prone to look more after the interests of the Party, above the interests of libertarianism, or the nation. One visit to a Party meeting, and you might see them more as a social club of political misfits and outcasts than a viable political force, with too many of the Libertarian Party stereotypes on full display. Most “small l” libertarians believe the Founding of the United States was the first true libertarian experiment, and our Constitution is more than just the law of the land, but the guiding framework for the type of small government to which we need return — limiting the interference of government into our lives, but also protecting our individual liberties.

Episode 025 TPC - TPC Fact-Checks the Fact-Checkers on "Partly False" Claim
Monday Apr 26, 2021
Monday Apr 26, 2021
In this episode Steve goes after Facebook’s fact-checker with a high-capacity magazine after she labels his recent analysis of an NIH-published paper as “Partly False.” Well . . . it wasn’t the analysis that was partly false, or the study itself. It was the fact-checker, who lazily didn’t do her research, and was totally false.

Ha! Well...or so some say. In this episode I respond to some of the criticism of yesterday's podcast about the Chauvin trial verdict, the possible "State of Washington, D.C.," the new cop shooting in Ohio, a couple other cop stories, including the new US Postal Service "iCop" division, and more coming Vaccine Passport initiatives.

"Right verdict, or wrong, the prosecution did not win the murder case in Minneapolis. The mob won. Guilty or innocent of whatever crime he was accused of committing, Derek Chauvin wasn't the biggest loser. America was."

Wednesday Apr 21, 2021
Wednesday Apr 21, 2021
This podcast is more or less an expanded version of yesterday's article I presented about the published NIH study which does nothing short of condemning the use of masks as a means of preventing the spread of Covid-19. I also briefly touch on my personal feelings about the vaccines and yesterday's trial verdict in Minneapolis.
