Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Monday, 14 October 2019

The Federalist Papers are some of the most important documents related to our Constitution and it’s ratification that we have to study in order to understand what our Founders were thinking when they crafted our basic tenants as a nation. Today we focused on Madison and Federalist Papers #10, #51, and #39.

We are a nation of factions, yet we all have the commonality of being human. While the human aspect makes us fallible, the laws that govern us must be made and enforced in order to have a more perfect union and represent us all. That’s where government comes into necessity.  Join us for a continuation of what that means and how we need to work together in order to be that union and all it entails.

Thorn-in-the-Side Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 10 October 2019

Ever heard a sitting United States Senator betray his country in a live recording? Listen to this episode and you will. The ForProfit Media insists on describing what Lindsey Graham did with the Moscow Morning Zoo Crew callers as a “prank,” but it’s actually espionage in plain sight, or hearing, that is. You won’t hear this in this level of depth on the ForProfit Media. Inform yourselves. 

Prayer Meetin’ Wednesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 9 October 2019

Please turn in your bibles to . . . never mind. If you’re smart, you’ll just turn in your bibles. Franklin Graham solves the mystery of the source of STDs. Marion “Pat” Robertson worries about neighborhood demonism. Kanye West designs his clothes according to Leviticus. E-Dub Jackson accidentally drops the dime on his Daddy Trump. Toy fetuseseseses in British Columbia. Halloween insurgency. 

Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Wednesday, 9 October 2019

We’d like to welcome back our beloved Dr. Bill Obrien after a brief hiatus due to illness! We’ve missed him greatly. 

Today’s program covered issues with Ukraine, impeachment, and the Constitutional Convention of 1787. While that may sound as if one doesn’t affect the other, it does. History, especially when dealing with the Constitution, is paramount in discussing politics. What we’re seeing from our governments actions directly opposes everything that our Constitution was designed for, which is to serve the People and their best interests in order to insure a prosperous and thriving nation. This isn’t what we’re getting when the few are reaping all the benefits while the many are left out in the cold.   

Titanic Tuesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 8 October 2019

Somebody poured some hooch into the engines to make ’em run hotter right toward that iceberg! Making nicey with war criminals. Gay rights give Anne’s boy Neil the fan-tods. ProTip for MAGAT DoJ Lawyers: don’t make the judge say “Wow.” It’s not a good sign. A historical look at smear politics. MAGAT with a gun threatens woman with bumper sticker. Memories of my happy childhood shattered by Matt Gaetz, who exposed the maliciousness of Captain Kangaroo.  

Thorn-in-the-Side Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 3 October 2019

Ouch! Thorns! But it all begins with comedy, courtesy of Gym Shorts Jordan, who didn’t know what he didn’t know. Nitwit Nero tries his hand at comedy. HINT: he shouldn’t. Quit your day job, Donnie. He’s drowning in daily drips: today, our Ambassador to Ukraine got canned because she wasn’t sufficiently obsequious to Trump. Chlamydia Claudius meanwhile, confessed outdoors, under the sun, in public, with cameras running as he admitted he wanted Ukraine to investigate the Bidens AND called for the Chinese to do the same. But wait: there’s more. A detailed explanation of what keeps Republicans from denouncing Trump and honoring their oaths.  With all due respect to Paul Krugman, it’s not “Pelosi Derangement Syndrome.” 

Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Wednesday, 25 September 2019

Our program today focuses on James Madison and what he had in mind regarding our Constitution and what it meant for the People. Madison’s Federalist Papers #10 and #51 were referenced in this discussion as well as an essay by Larry Kramer called, “The Interest of the Man”: James Madison, Popular Constitutionalism, and the Theory of Deliberative Democracy.

These references give you only a thumbnail of our discussion and we hope you’ll join us in perusing this and many other topics that are crucial in understanding how government was designed to function and for what purposes they hoped to achieve.  

Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Tuesday, 24 September 2019

We welcome you back after our brief hiatus to another program that’s isn’t only history, but a discussion on Civics and how history is perceived in and out of the classroom. While our text books only teach a somewhat distorted view of history as it occurred, it stands to reason that history is only as good as the person writing the book. This is why we need to refer to source materials. 

We’ll be covering the information that’s in Dr. Obrien’s lectures on the Constitution, the Confederation period and the Declaration of Independence. Let’s discuss what’s made our country and compare it to what’s taking place now and see where it leads us.

Again, thank you for your support of this program.
