Never take yourself too seriously.\u201d James referenced General Douglas MacArthur\u2019s speech to the cadets of the U.S. Military Academy from May 12, 1962. https:\/\/youtu.be\/_42_aLGkRpg   Tom Woods School of Life James and I are both members. Go to https:\/\/tomschooloflife.com\/ to get on the waiting list. I recommend joining the school.   John Birch Society James once worked for the perennially and unduly maligned John Birch Society. William F. Buckley, Jr., seen by a good many Americans over the last several decades as the paragon of American conservatism, was anything but that. Buckley and his magazine, National Review, were \u201cpurgers.\u201d Over the course of National Review\u2019s history, the Buckleyites purged portions of the conservative movement for not falling in lock-step with the magazine\u2019s ideology. Ideology is an interesting topic when it comes to politics or political discourse. It is harmful. We could get into a long discussion on why ideology is so antithetical to moral order, but I shall just point you toward Brad Birzer\u2019s quick article \u201cRussell Kirk on the Errors of Ideology.\u201d Birzer wrote an extensive biography on Kirk, ironically one of the founders of National Review and who wrote for the magazine for years, but was then\u2026purged. Kirk\u2019s reputation has been somewhat resuscitated by some over at NR in the nearly 3 decades since his passing, but his idea of conservatism is definitely at odds with the bunch who run the show over there at this stage. Here\u2019s a video of Birzer talking about his book, Russell Kirk: American Conservative. https:\/\/youtu.be\/8kn9RdM6gks This is a long way of getting to the point that the John Birch Society was not on the \u201c3 x 5 card of approved opinion\u201d set forth by our cultural betters at the National Review, a magazine that has also purged other heroes of mine\u2014namely Patrick J. Buchanan and Dr. Paul E. Gottfried\u2014from their silly \u201cmovement\u201d that has ceased to be \u201cconservative.\u201d   Tom Woods 100 Tom Woods\u2014as far as I\u2019m aware\u2014coined the aforementioned \u201c3x5 card of approved opinion\u201d phrase. It is beautiful and explains so much about our world today. Tom is also a mentor to both James and me. Perhaps not so coincidentally, one of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. \u201cTom\u2019s orbit\u201d is loosely defined, but in our case, James is number 10. Ninety to go! #TomWoods100   Ron Paul presidential campaigns We talk a little about the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of Dr. Ron Paul. I did not mention the essay I contributed to a book called Voices of Revolution: Americans speak out for Ron Paul. The ebook now appears to be free at lulu.com. This book was put together for the 2012 campaign. There was a call to action on the Tom Woods Show for a writing contest of some sort, so I fashioned an essay and it ended up leading off the entire book (after the introductory essay by the editor). I encourage people to download it. My essay starts on page 17.   The publishing business James is in the publishing business. JNS Media Go to the site and sign up for his email newsletter.
