A Mind of Our Own: Recent Episodes

Josh and Peter

Two Americans discuss everyday life - the major issues, the minor issues, and issues that don't even matter. As run-of-the-mill men living regular lives in the real world, they bring the every day man's perspective, common sense, independent thinking, and a Christian perspective. Come one, come all, to where the conversation is always "intriguing yet stimulating."

Wait a minute, isn't this a conservative and patriotic podcast? This week on the pod...What does the Pledge of Allegiance mean? Three arguments against saying the pledge (see article link below). Are these arguments convincing? Are Christians too concerned about America? Do Christians spend too much time "fighting" for America? Should we work to implement government institutions and practices that are in line with the Bible? Should Christians say the pledge? What is the Christian's mindset as a citizen of an earthly nation?

This week Paul Van Caeseele, Hornell County Republican Chairman and Steuben County Legislator, joined A Mind of Our Own for a Zoom interview. In this wide-ranging interview, Mr. Van Caeseele discusses why he went into politics, the issues Hornell and Steuben County face, and his outlook on the future for Hornell, Steuben County, and the Republican Party in New York. Paul has a passion for reaching out to the next generation for the Republican Party and is concerned in particular about America's preoccupation with big social issues instead of important essential issues (Veterans, the elderly, etc.) and the nitty gritty business of doing government.

After the recent display of the Pride Flag on government buildings, Peter and Josh began an off air discussion of the significance of displaying any flag alongside the American flag. This discussion is now "on air." We discuss things such as....what does it mean to display an American Flag? Would we ever not display the American Flag? What about the Pledge of Allegiance? Would America ever become so immoral that we would not say the Pledge nor display an American Flag? Also, we discuss Peter's water-spilling incident. Was he lying? Write in to give us your thoughts.

In the past year, have you noticed the seemingly intensified focus upon "identity groups" and the combinations of these various identity groups together? What is driving this seeming increase?

Further, we consider the issue of student debt. There have been a lot of calls lately to #cancelstudentdebt. Is this a good idea?

Segment 1 - Is our education system developing responsible citizens? Segment 2 - Should we #cancelstudentdebt?

Well, this may be the most politically incorrect episode yet. It also deals with some mature themes. We submitted a segment of this to our legal team. She said we're okay to air. If not, you can sue her (not us). We recommend not allowing young children to listen to this episode. This week, we discuss a recent story Peter heard about a "transgender child." Then, I quiz Peter on 22 transgender terms. How well do you think he did? See if you can define these terms as you listen.

Now, we discuss our solutions for education in America. As a Christian and a parent, Peter begins the discussion with things he has seen and his experience raising his boys. We talk about the things parents should consider with respect to educational choices. This is part 1 of...how many parts?

On a serious note, this week on the pod, we continue the education discussion. We focus on some "loose ends" with respect to the progressive model of education. Then, we talk some weird news stories about mattress testing, naming rats, and a lost wedding ring.

Peter starts us off with a bang. He discusses his special craft of spotting, tracking, and attracting a certain type of individual. Yes, it's uncomfortable. We take some time to discuss the multitude of divisions in America today. What’s the solution? Is there a solution? Perhaps we need to return to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. We take a brief look at Federalist #10, written by James Madison. What wisdom can this essay give to us, as citizens of this republic, moving forward?

Also, Peter feels the pangs of guilt over some statements in the last episode. We also talk Veteran’s Day and one such veteran whose heroism, patriotism, and sacrifice should be remembered.
