1.25 – Basic Civics

September 30, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Phil and Kevon are so sorry that they have been gone for so long. They will be back in the studio soon. Until they do, here’s some audio from a class Phil taught at his church. The class was based upon Tony Evan’s book How Should Christians Votes?, which we’ve mentioned several times before.

We hope you enjoy this “substitute” episode and will help us by spreading the word as The Ignorance of Church and State gears up for Season 2.

We’re also sorry about the audio from this episode. There was an error with the microphone. It was a user error. Phil was the user.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

1.22 – Two Party (System) Pooper

August 12, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Why do we have a two-party system? Hard to say, since George Washington didn’t want us to. Are these two parties part of our government or merely our tradition? How do they emerge? How do they die? What do we do when neither party fits our needs? We’ll try to answer at least half of these questions with at least one-third accuracy.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

1.20 Civil Rights are Human Rights

July 22, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

This week, we get some help clarifying our thoughts on race and civil rights from Hubert Humphrey, specifically from his speech to the 1948 Democratic National Convention.

Is there a problem with race in the US? Maybe you don’t see a problem, but does that mean it doesn’t exist? What do we have to lose by listening to each other?

1.19 Race to Confusion

July 15, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

How do two white guys in the suburbs talk about race? Ignorantly and with a great amount of passion. We hope you can follow along with our jumbled thoughts. We’ll do better next time; we promise.

1.18 Dream Not Realized…Yet!

July 8, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Once again, the US has had a terrible week, full of senseless violence, anger, hatred, and a increasing amount of division.

Kevon and Phil will have a lot to say about this next week, but for now, let’s look back at a more optimistic moment, when, in August of 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

We hope you find this speech to be inspiring and uplifting, and we hope that the next few days find us beginning the slow process of repairing our nation.
