    E41 - Wokeism and the Destruction of James Madison's Montpelier

    E41 - Wokeism and the Destruction of James Madison's Montpelier

    James Madison's Montpelier is a museum of American history and a center for constitutional education. But a recent article in New York Post revealed that "President James Madison's home, Montpelier in Virginia, has been transformed into a museum focusing on slavery and racism instead of the founding father. No American flags fly at Montpelier, Madison's plantation home in rural Virginia, and not a single display focuses on the life and accomplishments of America's foremost political philosopher, who created our three-branch federal system of government, wrote the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, and served two terms as president."

    In this episode, Jim and Dan talk about how James Madison's home has been overrun by wokeism, an ideology based on the belief that America is an oppressive, racist country. 

    Enjoy!

    Favorite Quotes

    16:02 - "Hundreds of people walking around today who were at that mall that day in Indiana owe Elijah Dick in their lives. They don't know it yet. They don't realize it. They never will. To walk through that mall and kill all these people, Elijah Dicken has more courage than those cops in Uvalde combined." - Jim Larkin

    16:41 - "On cue, Twitter, losing their f*cking minds. Liberals losing their f*cking minds. I can't believe he is in a gun-free zone. They're saying we shouldn't be celebrating him because he was in a gun-free zone and had a gun. He should be brought up on charges. He saved hundreds of people's lives." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson

    34:45 - "F*ck Montpelier. It's a private board that runs that. F*ck them. They know the history but allow Rubenstein to come in with his money. And they're willing to rewrite history." - Jim Larkin

    42:47 - "People can't live anymore. They have to choose between feeding their families, paying their bills, paying their gas bills, and paying their electric bills. And this is what NDAA is worried about. They're worried about troops having access to abortion." - Jim Larkin

    Episode 0: Irvin Eisenberg, OT and Host of Resilience Radio

    Episode 0: Irvin Eisenberg, OT and Host of Resilience Radio

    Welcome to Resilience Radio! In this episode I introduce myself and why I am making a podcast.

    I grew up an herbalist's son, then went from dancer to massage therapist to structural integrator to occupational therapist. Over the 12 years I've worked as a health care practitioner in  Central Vermont, I've enjoyed connecting with the diverse network of other healthcare providers here and am excited to speak more deeply with them on this podcast!

    DeclarationProject.org
    Chris Phillips is at it again: rousing the rabble by collecting various declarations - starting with our own Declaration of Independence - and putting them online. Not only that, he invites all of us to post our own declarations, which Stewart has already done.

    Chris, the author of Socrates Café and Constitution Café, has been on the show several times because he's always making trouble and we always have a good time when he tells us about it.

    After we finish our rabble-rousing, we spend a few minutes at Montpelier, visiting the ongoing work at the slave quarters and the newly-refurbished library where Madison conceived the Virginia Plan.

    The State that Said No

    The State that Said No
    Only one of the original 13 states refused to ratify the Constitution. Do you know which one?

    Okay, now that you've looked at the picture, do you know why?

    Join us for a complete and entertaining explanation from Thomas Howard of the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at Montpelier. It's a fascinating tale, with twists, turns and serious conflicts, some of which persist to this day.

    The Devil Went Down to Oklahoma, Part II

    The Devil Went Down to Oklahoma, Part II
    Still Running with the Devil . . . .

    In Part II of this fascinating episode, we finish our discussion with Lucien Greaves, the Overlord of the Satanic Temple. He's the fellow who has been stirring up so much trouble down in Oklahoma with his statue of Baphomet, a winged, goat-headed demon with horns and wings and . . . well, you get the idea. It seems that Lucien's been stirring up trouble elsewhere, too, notably down in Florida, where he's held a rally hailing both Satan and Governor Rick Scott. Why are we not surprised?

    When we finish with the Dark Side, we switch to a focus upon Goodness and Light by speaking with some of our friends at Montpelier. We start with Tiffany Cole of the Curatorial Department, who has some exciting new developments to share with us. And then we finish up with our buddy, Doug Smith, who is not only The Riddler, but who also runs the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution.

    The Men Who United the States

    The Men Who United the States
    Best-selling author Simon Winchester discusses his new book, "The Men Who United the States." The unity of our nation is not just a political or social phenomenon. It is also physical, made possible throughout our history by roads, canals, railroads, telegraph lines – up to and including the Internet. The story of how Simon Winchester came to write the book is as fascinating as the book itself.

    Also, Stewart talks to Matt Reeves, the Chief Archeologist at Montpelier, James Madison’s historic home in Orange, Virginia.

    Separation of Powers

    Separation of Powers
    "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." James Madison, Federalist #47, January 30, 1788.

    You said it, James! And this week we're talkin' Separation of Powers, or, as your 8th Grade teacher might have called it, "Checks and Balances." Either way, it's the first and most fundamental way that the Constitution protects our individual liberties. Ben Kleinerman from Michigan State University's James Madison College tells us all about it, and Cash Arehart, from Colonial Williamsburg, tells us about a new Electronic Field Trip that uses baseball to illustrate the concept (Cash is playing the role of Chief Justice John Marshall in the photograph).

    We're also talking about how we might improve the Constitution, with our rabble-rousing buddy Chris Phillips and his new project at the National Constitution Center, "The Next 10 Amendments."

    Madison's Challenge

    Madison's Challenge
    James Madison knew that only an educated citizenry could govern itself while preserving its essential freedoms. He spent much of his life building such a citizenry in America.

    Today, the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at Montpelier carries on Madison's work in a variety of ways and through a variety of media -- including this radio show. Another way is through the Montpelier Seminars, residential programs in which teachers, judges, police officers and others learn about our constitutional history and values at the very place where Madison lived and worked. We'll talk to Professor David Marion, who recently led a Montpelier Seminar on the Bill of Rights.

    It's a noble effort.
