It Might Just Be Me
As America continues its great struggle in the 21st century, knowing who we are and what our nation has long stood for will help us solve the divide we currently face.
Raw, emotional, outrage is the currency of our political system, but more often than not, we dont seem to know why we are angry ... we simply are.
Knowing the intention of our Founders for our nation's future is critical to our present. Understanding how our government works is the key to fixing her problems, but for most Americans, they struggle with knowing the difference between our state legislatures and members of Congress.
This podcast will explore, in depth, the foundations that have made us strong, and the efforts to weaken us from within.
My Mother always said, "Plain talk is easy understood." That is what you will get here, plain talk, without having to guess what it means.
It Might Just Be Me
A 300 year old Maine business & the theft of their land by the Maine Turnpike Authority
Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook Maine started in the 1720s. They began 56 years before the Declaration of Independence.
Through thirteen generations, through war, financial hardship, global depressions, weather anomalies and anything else you can think of, the Knight family has found a way to endure, persevere and thrive. Yet, their greatest potential threat is not one of the above.
Their greatest potential threat comes from their own government. The Maine Turnpike Authority (MTA) seeks to steal their land to build a road.
Oh, I know, they call it eminent domain which sounds all legal and lawyerly, but the truth is ... it is theft. The Knight family does not want to sell the land.
I guess the real question is, what do Maine people actually value? Will you stand with this family and tell the MTA "No, you cannot do this!"
If not now, when? What will it take for Maine people to stand up to their government?
If we don't stop this, what is next? If we don't stop this, eventually, there will be nothing left to save!
