GRACE. Jesus didn't bring us religion; humans had long been sacrificing to the gods. His Gospel is an undeserved gift that overflows the heart and splashes out in waves that bless others. ARCHY. A suffering servant is the true king. His "government" is made up of servants who voluntarily carry a cross, go the extra mile, and care for the weakest. Church and State don't govern that way, so you're "Done." HOST. Jim Babka's career evolved from political campaigns to policy activism to principle-based philosophy. He discovered that politics corrupts character, the world hates being fixed, and debates disconnect persons. Chopping at the root requires us to address blame, envy, and scapegoating. The world needs Grace. MODERATOR. Bill Protzmann

    Was Charlie Kirk the Katechon of Antisemitism? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 169

    How to Read the Constitution with Four Key Amendments - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 168

    Do you need to be a constitutional lawyer to understand the Constitution? Not even close. Jim explains simple rules for constitutional interpretation using the First, Second, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments, plus lessons he learned while taking a case to the U.S. Supreme Court. You’ll see how the Bill of Rights can help clarify constitutional meaning, why modern government creates serious constitutional problems, and how abolitionist Lysander Spooner challenged the Constitution itself. A short, practical guide to understanding constitutional rights, limited government, and the deeper question of political consent. ***SUBSCRIBE to the channel and tell us you did so, in the Comments.*** REFERENCES Jim's role in Paul v.

    2nd Amendment Is About More Than Guns - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 167

    This is The Most Innovative Second Amendment Show EVER because it features a defense of the right that's superior to any conservative show we've ever heard, and an earth-shakingly wonderful idea that's more practical than anything you've ever heard on the subject. It's based on an empathetically strong yet accurate definition of the term "arms." This idea is so practical, we end up calling for lawyers to advance it. And you know you're on solid ground when you can draw on Harriet Tubman, Lysander Spooner, and Frederick Douglass. They help us demonstrate how the Second Amendment is a truly social justice idea.

    Four Tests of a Scapegoat - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 166

    Is every alleged criminal in the dock a scapegoat? How can you tell when someone actually is a scapegoat? In the immediately previous episode (165), Bill asked Jim if Fauci is a scapegoat. Jim said no, but he also sensed that his reasoning was insufficient to answer Bill's pressing question. What are the timeless standards? This episode IS NOT ABOUT ANY ONE PERSON - not limited to the current headline. It's timeless. You'll be able to repeatedly apply it to future social conflicts. Oh, and Bill catches Jim off-guard. Jim learns something new, right in front of you! You'll learn things too, if you tune in. Primer: Rene Girard explains that religions, nations, and states are founded on sacrifice - the sacred murder of someone who possesses partial or complete innocence. That person is the scapegoat. The grossly oversimplified version (go watch episode 88) goes like this...    Desire is modeled. An imitator covets. Rivalry ensues. The contagion spreads; an angry mob forms.  Violence breaks out. There might even be a war. The scapegoat is blamed for the violence and killed. Peace returns, so the scapegoat becomes sacred. Taboos and rituals arise so the community can avoid repeating the war.  If Girard is right, then this process has profound implications to sociology, theology, and plain old politics.  SHOW REFERENCES 88: René Girard: The Founding of Religion and State https://youtu.be/dL8Err6K778 The Rene Girard Playlist at YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLop5COwTfeX727RXjBsStfIcnDcieZZzi 121: Daryl Davis Pt 1, Biography of his work: https://youtu.be/Yu-j3zvD2o8 122: Daryl Davis Pt 2, Fighting Racism with Grace: https://youtu.be/ceL600_kQi0 165: Is Anthony Fauci Just a Scapegoat? - https://youtu.be/Q4OUSUhXP0o CHAPTERS 0:00 The relevance of sin 1:03 Theme 1:36 Purpose - Four ways 3:28 Girardian caveats 5:05 Sacrifice, It is finished 6:28 That's not very graceful 9:08 Non-Culpability test 11:38 De-mythologizing sacred violence 13:20 Motive Check test 20:46 Rivalry test 23:57 Catharsis or Reflection 26:17 Who are my victims? 35:21 The Desires that lead to violence 39:32 Restoration or Vengeance? test 42:34 Putting it all together CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

    Is Anthony Fauci Just a Scapegoat? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 165

    New evidence of a lab leak. A named conspiracy: The Spillover Gang. Jim and Bill get to both. Even better, an unscripted conversation lands on something sharper: why politics gets in the way of truth, and why truth is vital. Thousands of other shows chase the phony ethics drama over Fauci's "diary" or debate the legality of his Fifth Amendment plea. This episode does neither. Instead, the Fifth Amendment gets a spiritual read, not a legal one — and the real time goes to new evidence, and what it will actually take to achieve "truth and reconciliation."

    Iran War, Why Failure Was Inevitable - Gracearchy with Jim Babka 164

    Bombing campaigns. Boots on the ground. Even nukes. There's no shortage of confident opinions about what Trump should've done differently in Iran. This episode takes the best of those ideas seriously. Not the strawman versions, but one of the strongest ideas out there: airdropping weapons to Iranians so they could rise up and overthrow the regime themselves. It's a clever idea. It's also wrong, and we'll walk through exactly why. Along the way... Three reasons arms were never dropped, what Friedrich Hayek, Richard Maybury, and Harry Browne would say about why government interventions fail, and BRAND NEW! - the "Tax-Funded Midas Curse" — a concept that explains why this failure was baked in from the start.

How will he do it? Will it work? Plus, you'll learn four ways that the LP is already "punching above its weight." Like, why is the GOP so scared of the Libertarians?

    162: Does Tucker Carlson Understand the Rigged Two Party System? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

    Tucker Carlson announces he's left the GOP and he's going to help launch a third party. Well, it's no secret that Tucker has been eyeing a presidential run for months. *Almost certainly, Tucker Carlson doesn't understand the rigged rules that practically ban third parties from competing! Even the political media are ignorant of the rules and barriers.* But if Tucker watches this episode, he'll learn and even discover novel strategies about how to execute his plan. You too can learn things hardly anyone gets about third party campaigns. This episode is packed with insight!
