Libertarian TexMex

We explore the history of thanksgiving before, during, and after the cultural phenomenon between the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Today’s practices as well as some advice on how to navigate the holidays around discussions of politics and religion. Served with a side of the Libertarian TexMex’s view of the holiday. Enjoy!

We discuss the polarizing views of the left and right, the dismissive attempts from the polar ends on moderates and middle road voters, and how the power to swing topics lie with moderates and middle of the road voters. Finding common topics can help us move from this “winner take all” “us versus them” mentality that is so common in the left-right spectrum.

Today we discuss the current topic of birthright citizenship as the President evokes reaction, the fundamental reason why libertarians promote open borders, realistic solutions to get us there, and how the birth of TexMex came in an undocumented way that gave Texas it’s identity.

What do the recent immigration fears and the trendy “democratic socialism” from the left have in common? More than you think. Follow me as we see how similar conservatives are to progressives in the fundamental choices of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

An unconvinced majority of Texans are not happy with either Beto O’Rourke or Ted Cruz. We discuss different pathways and options that will help you sleep at night, and how the lesser of two evils is the worst argument to vote.

We’re back!!!! Diving right in to the current Texas talk, Beto versus Cruz! Took a look at their campaign websites and their ratings on ontheissues.org. This episode is the qualitative editorial review. Next one will be more quantitative in regards to how close they are to a Libertarian. Thanks for listening!

The introduction to Libertarian TexMex, looking forward to food and politics with y'all!
