Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill - 152: Crowhill is a liberal?

152: Crowhill is a liberal?

08/12/21 • 41 min

Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill

P&C review a new brewer's first beer, and Pigweed is shocked to discover that Crowhill is a liberal. That leads to a discussion on the differences between classical and modern liberalism.

Classical liberalism insisted that government is only justified with the consent of the governed. It was all about liberty, free speech, small government, self-reliance and individual rights, which didn't come from government, but from the creator. The government only has power because we let it have power.

Modern liberalism has departed from these ideals in important ways, which the boys summarize.

151: Evictions

P&C drink and review a black IPA from Hysteria, then discuss the recent debates on evictions.

If there's a crisis, and people aren't able to pay their rent, then it might be reasonable to appropriate tax money to pay people's rent. But rather than that, the CDC, which is not Congress and cannot write laws, made it illegal for landlords to evict people. Landlords were allowed to go bankrupt from not getting any rent, but they couldn't take action against people living in their property without paying.

President Biden has admitted that this is illegal, but extended it anyway.

This is tyranny, plain and simple, and P&C are beside themselves with anger against our useless government.
