Customer Reviews
Chris Vance Podcast
Your conversation with Chris was intelligently detailed and very uplifting. What I would have added to the chat was the dangers ahead if we continue to allow religious extremists to rule the Party. An important lesson from history is that religious believes and politics should never mix. It has brought nothing but bloodshed throughout the ages. It’s time we all paid more attention to what history can teach us.
Great one
Love his podcast
Former Marylander
You remind me of what the party stood for; now its just a cult headed by a golden calf (oops, I meant cow).
