This week: We talk with constitutional lawyer, Jonathan Emord. This book is so timely and so needed and so full of information that we have made this a two-part show.
The Authoritarians, Part Two
Today’s show is Part Two of our interview with Jonathan Emord. This week, we look more deeply into his book and focus on how authoritarianism (Marxism, socialism, communism) took hold here in America—the land of the free and birthplace of liberty. Think about it. How is it that just two generations removed from throwing off the king’s despotism, American politicians, educators, and even religious leaders were all trying to take us back down that road?
For those who know and understand socialism, it shouldn’t surprise that socialism began its creep into American society as a defense for slavery.
Tune in to hear the convoluted thinking that led Southerners to use socialism as a defense not just for slavery but as a defense against American’s founding ideology. That all men are equal. That all men are endowed with rights and freedoms from their Creator.
Did you miss Part One of The Authoritarians with Jonathan Emord? Go here to catch up!
As one of America’s top constitution lawyers for the last 35 years, Jonathan Emord has seen, up close and personally, the purposeful destruction of America’s founding principles of liberty and freedom from government. The Constitution outlines the boundaries of the government. But the authoritarians have been undermining it for well over a century.
Socialism: It’s Worse than You Thought
Part Two will also look into the inherent racism of Marxism and socialism. Bet most socialists and Marxist-wannabes in America have no idea that racism was an inherent part of their ideology.
But it’s worse even than that. Tune in to hear how the eugenics movement was (and still is) a key part of socialism. And how American judicial rulings set the precedent that the Nazis used in their defense at Nuremberg.
Yes. It’s true: The National Socialist Party was the epitome of socialism. Despite today’s socialists trying to run from their ties to the Nazis, they were the living example of what socialism could look like here on Earth.

One Reply to “The Authoritarians: How Socialism’s Dark and Ugly Ideology Took Root in America”
During the show the lost paragraph from the Declaration of Independence was mentioned. Here is a link to the TJ’s original submitted transcript, I think:
https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/declara/ruffdrft.html
Here is the lost paragraph:
he has incited treasonable insurrections in our fellow-subjects, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property:
he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
We have been paying a terrible price since our founding because that paragraph was removed.
