CTP (S2EAprSpecial2) Constitutional Fish Tales
Roy Weaver joins us to discuss his allegorical children's book "The Largemouth Bass and the Way of Things," which uses fish characters to explore timeless patterns of power, control, and resistance throughout human civilization.
• Written to share insights from 35 years of government service with his grandchildren
• Popular in European schools where it's purchased in classroom quantities
• Features fish characters that mirror historical patterns of elites controlling populations
• Incorporates concepts like "bread and circus" distraction techniques seen throughout history
• Uses natural ocean diversity to illustrate cultural diversity without heavy-handedness
• Challenges readers to recognize patterns of governance that repeat throughout human history
• Dedicated to his daughter who passed away from brain cancer
• All proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
The book is available on Amazon and can be ordered through local bookstores. Roy encourages placing copies in waiting rooms to spark conversation and interest in these important ideas.

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): welcome to CTP Season 2 special episode with our soon-to-be new friend Roy Weaver, author of a very unique book. I'm gonna hold it up. I don't know if you'll be able to see the cover very well on the behind-the-scenes video or not. It's not printed out too well, it's too small, but it is the large-mouse bass and the way of things. And you're gonna think, well why am I talking about a book with a cartoon cover and that kind of a name is, is that a children's book? Well not really and we'll get into the why, but before we do that, let's welcome to the show. Every time I hit record my mouth and bring, disconnect, and don't want to cooperate. Let's welcome to the show Roy Weaver and get into the you know usual nitty-gritty. Who are you? Where were you born and raised and where are you now and you know what are your hobbies? We don't go into what are your pronouns here or anything like that, but you know all that kind of stuff. Well
ROY F WEAVER: hi, good afternoon and thank you so much. It's such a privilege to actually sit in town with you. I read some of the material on your books and wanted to on course to social and I really appreciate your protection. Yes I wrote the book, A Large Mouth, Fast and the Way of Things. I grew up in the woods in Wisconsin of course that's on the book, so of course I'm a Green Bay Packer fan
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): and I see you. Oh whoa whoa stop right there. Discussion over goodbye. Hey gotta keep us up to humor right. Please continue. You know what? No it's kind of funny though and aside, but by the time this airs, this reference won't make as much sense, but literally just yesterday, let's say we are recording Wednesday September the 25th. Last night on beforetsnews.com, which is one of the places I write, I put an article up about Brett Favre testifying before Congress. So you know that's an aside. I'll try to remember to throw that in the show notes, but please interrupt and continue. Okay, but the reason that article was
ROY F WEAVER: significant is it was on my course I grew up in Green Bay and my daughter had brain cancer and it was on her bucket list to be quite far and of course we got to spend time with Brett Favre in the in the bowels of the stadium after practice and then it was a great experience and nothing but respect. So anyway, just that quick. And also had I not been a fan, I would probably be cut off the family
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): tree. Well I of course being in Detroit could not be a cheesehead fan, but I respected the hell on a Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, talents, abilities, you know that's enjoying the talent and what they were capable of and not enjoying that they beat us are two different things, right? Right, right, well I'm a youper by
ROY F WEAVER: birth so happy my family are right and the other half move south to the frozen tundra because it would be warmer and living in the great one. Got to got to
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): explain that to those not in the Midwest youper the upper peninsula of Michigan, you know the whole hand thing that makes a map that's the upper anyway again I interrupted please. And of course the UP looks sort of like a
ROY F WEAVER: shark which is which is part of the interpretation of my book because the characters in the book are the politish arcs and on the cover is a politish arc from Politish arc city and you can see it buried in the background it's in the future or in the past and so it has some climate change it has diversity you can't get more diverse than the ocean. I mean I have a copy I can
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): hold up as well. They have probably be better if you hold up an actual copy for the behind the scenes video than me trying to lift it up a bit. There we go we can see it much better although there's a bit of a light glare on it but yeah for those looking behind the scenes video that's a little better view of it.
ROY F WEAVER: Sure yeah and you can always get a good perspective on Amazon when you look it up in your book. And so I wrote the story because I go fishing so I wrote the story in 2015 or 2016 because I was hoping to get the grandkids to start reading and I wanted to give them some perspective and the benefit of my 35 36 years of working in the government in the military as a defense contractor and as a civil servant and I thought well I could throw in some history I could use diversity a little climate change. Of course you know everybody thinks that earth will be covered with water and so I said let's start there and incorporate a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): little history into how. Now you put in my mind just the way my work mind works something always triggers not like an emotional snowflake left just kind of trigger but you know Spurs have thought that the old I can't think of his name he's in Yellowstone Kevin Costner water world movie right yeah right right okay
ROY F WEAVER: so yeah that and the fish start out in their natural environment you know producing young and great and and we have fish schools where they teach their children how to survive and live in an ocean world reefs are all thriving and prospering and then the police sharks decide they're going to fight over the ocean and of course they apply all of the same tactics and techniques that have been used throughout history by those who want to rain and dominion over the commoners and so eventually of course as you in most cases and most cultures and most civilizations somebody rises up from the oppressed working class and says hey it's time to challenge these people keep raining want to rain and dominion over the ocean and they're destroying the reefs and they're making us they're indoctrinating our children and so it's time to rise up and challenge and I mean that's been going on throughout history since you know Egypt Rome and and and it relates to current events today so yeah well I was the same goes
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): history may not repeat but it sure does rhyming awful lot it was very familiar
ROY F WEAVER: so I thought if I could get the 12 year old grand grand time to read a book it was I made it short I put in pictures and I thought well that would be a good way to plant a sea and then I heard about the 1776 project where that was prominent I said well why don't I get it published and then I can offer it as as part of the 1776 project but since I published it it is very popular in Europe and I've noticed I look on a b a b e books dot com and you can see where it's being sold and where it's being purchased and you probably do the same with your books I know that it's being purchased through school libraries in quantities of 17 to 20 which is an absolute excellent sign that you know hey people are introducing this story and this concept and it's it's allegorical but it's multiple levels so I've had people in their you know 40s 80s
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): say this isn't just a it's book exactly exactly what I was alluding to and unfortunately you'll never see it getting into US schools they're too busy in the indoctrination factors pedaling raunch and perversion and CRT and all that crap let's not let them have history and civics and human nature psychology lesson in a children's book because hey then they might be able to think right
ROY F WEAVER: well I thought I would originally make the characters caricature is to of people who are currently in those power positions in the world today yeah I know I say well wouldn't matter because in 20 years the book will still be here and those people will not so why not just stick with the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): natural character which we should only hope a lot of those people right that's why we need term limits these people get in and they're they are careers for life and riching themselves serving themselves rather than serving the people which is kind of part and parcel of one of the themes of the book yes right
ROY F WEAVER: right right and and to some of your perspective people who don't have faith and who don't believe in God their motives are to live a long time and acquire as much as possible so you can't get those people out of those positions if that's their motive you know do right by others and govern responsibly and be a responsible God-fearing person and then your your motives change you become a giving and supportive person of responsible governing and not acquiring wealth or acquiring power so it's hard to get those people out if for nothing else that reason alone so that's why I appreciate your perspective is it is if you don't have faith and you don't believe in God then then your focus is on
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): living forever gaining power and gain and yeah well I often bring up pen of pen and teller right he's a well-known right comedian slash magician magician thank you again now the brain's not the most working but the brain ain't but but he's a default atheist but unlike most atheists he doesn't hate and want to destroy Christianity and he understands our Judeo-Christian foundation he is just saying he's got no problem with that because from an atheist standpoint a social humanistic standpoint those things are just being a good fellow human right you don't steal my stuff I don't steal your stuff that's just being a good human or I can't murder you you can't murder me right though those are Judeo-Christian ethos foundations she agrees with them as just an intellectual pursuit but of course I care about his soul so I pray for him because as you were kind of alluding to about my show he's missing some things in that and without that greater source as I talked with Neil Mammon about and Kevin McGarry of every black life matters without that higher power that authority over you me and all of us then the atheistic attitude they are their own gods and they can lord over you they answer to no one even though we're supposed to be we the people republic and they're supposed to work for us
ROY F WEAVER: right right well in a purely natural environment you end up with prey and predator and the planet just spins around the sign or millennium and all you have is people trying to consume or acquire and so it's a prey and predator environment
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah to use the left word they like to call themselves progressive but there's really no progress and they love Darwinism but there's no intellectual evolving in any of that religion brought some of that to humanity so that we became better than because I just I as you were in the green room before I hit record I was saying was it hectic day I had a show to drop I didn't have it as it is and all that with Leslie Hall and he talks about those things you know human nature he has a book the animal inside all of these things we're talking about here now relate in how we progress but the left really isn't progressive they're regressive they want to return to the old days before the US where we're free and in charge they want an oligarchic society again where they the ruling elites lord over everyone they're regressive not progressive and and that is the key to the book people thank you I accidentally stumbled on that yeah you nailed it yay me gotta keep a sense of humor right got it things are too serious you gotta keep a sense of humor absolutely
ROY F WEAVER: absolutely raining in Dominion it doesn't matter if it's family if it's community if it's country or or the world in total you know someone is trying to rain in Dominion because they don't have anywhere else to go yeah so yeah it instead of fearing and what's it been God as to the conscience of the universe so to speak or the universal mainframe of that's all knowing and has all information they want to create their own idol all AI so they want to replace God with AI and we know from the Old Testament God hates idols and he wipes out everybody that's the things that they can yeah oh well that is that is a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): bit perfect inversion here and I thought of something now it left my brain so hopefully it'll come back to me because like I try to take notes but I don't script a show and I didn't write it down so of course the train left the brain station hopefully I could catch back up with it but before we go any further I for those things video I see over your left shoulder to our right on your screen that's an Iraqi flag with another logo were you part of a rocky operation freedom or the original Gulf War I worked at I worked it in an army
ROY F WEAVER: depot during the Gulf War and the most of our job was to transition European equipment and to be used for the desert so and I worked in C3i man control communications and intelligence C4 ISR man control communications computers intelligence surveillance reconnaissance and I E W intelligence electronic warfare counter IED and most of the intelligence acquisition process contracting delivering weapons systems and capabilities to the military making sure it works making sure they're trained to use it make sure making sure the supply system is energized to support it and if not to make sure that there were contractors available that could support the soldiers on the battlefield and I did it for internet and I don't know if you can see the other pictures but one is the truck I drove and the other one I worked with
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): vaguely vaguely if somebody's viewing it on their handheld smartphone they're probably not gonna be a record but me looking on my laptop I can see it hopefully others will too but yeah the issue being our lack of intelligence at times I say some study the art of war by Sun Su others unfortunately too many in our West study the art of stupid by Sun burn right we're always thinking the last war then jungles of Vietnam and the deserts of Iraq two different battlefields and the inability to think back to World War II where we were in the sands of Africa to understand we need equipment for all environments all weathers all terrain like I love the offspring I know sometimes it's it's unwieldy the handle I understand from pilots and requires a lot of training but it was born out of necessity of the Jimmy Carter's failure to rescue the hostages in a rant because of the helicopters in taking sand and I think two of the four going down they couldn't complete the message mission they had to retreat and the offspring was finally somebody's brain capacity saying okay we need a dual use of VTOL vehicle that can work in the sands or in the regular plains and all weather now obviously you're gonna need a pretty good clearing to land that in a forest in area but it's a more thought-out all-purpose transport flight vehicle
ROY F WEAVER: right well my picture on the back of the book is me standing on Saddam's parade ground platform and I and I'm standing there like at Lake Saddam was in his statue you know with his apartment and I had some marine friends and I drove a South African vehicle on patrol and I would take it to the parade ground with a cross-sword to do some training and you know chase other vehicles around and do something so I had I would always take Marines with me I never went anywhere in Baghdad without some Marines come with me whether they were the gunners or whether it was with the rough riders that would escort us or we would take the lead but I just thought it was pretty cool I asked my marine friend to take my pictures standing on Saddam's platform it was kind of you know it was
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): kind of a hooch yeah well I'm glad you mentioned Saddam because we'll get back to the book we need to get back to the book but like I say this show was in scripted rabbit holes open we go down and you mentioned Saddam so I feel it necessary to insert since people don't know anything our own history let alone anybody else's they want to put the Iraq Wars all on the bushes or Cheney well they failed to remember it was Bill Clinton in his first term that signed the Iraqi Liberation Act which made it the US stated goal to remove Saddam Hussein he didn't do it he got embroiled in controversy and the whole aspirin factory that was a dual use aspirin chemical weapon manufacturer and the whole Lewinsky stuff so he never got around to invading Iraq and after 9-11 after Afghanistan we then went back to Clinton's Iraqi Liberation Act and well now is the convenient time and there were weapons of mass destruction chemical weapons have always been classified weapons of mass destruction and they were all over the place the yellow cake thing yeah we never found it maybe it was moved to Syria indeed maybe it was never there but there were WMDs it was our policy to remove them and we did that well when I would take the
ROY F WEAVER: crew and patrol up to Tajid and there Tajid was there it was like a depot big warehouse with this big depot and they didn't have this building called the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Sinai warehouse for nothing thank you thank you and the other thing is you know they they tried to move a lot of it to Syria they did we I mean we know that and other things were hidden that's why so many troops came back with problems from the burn pits right we we found caches of WMDs all over Iraqi desert and burned them off to destroy them well you know Saddam and his team probably didn't even remember hey we buried some stuff there and we found them there was a there was
ROY F WEAVER: a military equipment graveyard at Tajid and there was some Russian tanks and one of the Russian tanks had painted on the barrel green bay packers and and and and add on add on pallets was on green bay packer ovening well there's a weird
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): little tidbit which no one's gonna get anywhere else which was the ministry of
ROY F WEAVER: interior where I would have I took one of my trucks I had I worked with the South Africans to bring these armored vehicles in for the Iraqi Special Police Commandos and so we would take them on patrol but when I took it to an on palace to demonstrate it to General Adnan or oh shoot I forgot his name but it was Adnan Palace and I can't remember the general name was in charge of the Ministry of Interior anyway he came walking out with his entraps and he looked exactly like Saddam Hussein and he had like 25 people all gathered around him as they came out to look at the vehicle and so I've got a picture of me picking
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): the tires in front of that now palace yeah and again that whole history thing since we're we're down this rabbit hole Saddam the descendant of a Nazi sympathizers the whole bath party which is why the Nazi party was outlawed in Germany as is today the bath party outlawed in Iraq because it was a direct offshoot of the Nazi party the Arab Muslim contingent of the Nazis people forget Hitler met with the MOSTI down there and a lot of Arabs Muslim seen Germany as kind of their liberator from the at the time mainly England and France colony out from under their boot in the careful what you wish for things could get worse right and awful they I mean still today the anti-Semitic connection still remains all from them to now but I have any rate again this is way off on a tangent I didn't expect we would go but it was yeah it was my
ROY F WEAVER: exposure to all of these foreign countries and in wartime and serving from the Carter years to the second Obama administration the entire spectrum the best years what I from my perspective were the Reagan years and you know I was at levels of government at the time that were high enough to understand and get some experience in some of the decision-making processes what I did discover though it bring some of the the later administration is the higher I got up in government the more I was I was expected to compromise and the biggest the biggest compromise as you move up in rank or move up in in status or access to information you start transitioning from integrity to loyalty
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): without question again another little tidbit you're not going to get an indeed this relates to the book we'll go back to the book that whole right the deep state protecting itself not we the people and indeed them wanting you to sell to the deep state and become part of it and protect of itself rather than what may or may not be really best for the nation or not what's best for the insiders so yeah all this in some way shape or form more or less obviously to appeal the kids you don't want to go into war issues but that's right some degree all this does relate and tie in in the book right exactly it it's a well
ROY F WEAVER: yeah it's allegorical but like you said and no kid no teenager is going to want to sit and read a history book that contains all of that kind of information with names and dates because none of us ever really enjoyed history as as a concept of memorization it's better to have a story and it's better to experience to tell your story from experience then you know just tell your story from something out rather or something you've watched and and it was really funny as I decided to go with the animation because the very first movie I saw in the theater was the incredible Mr. Lippett oh I love that movie and I told I told the illustrator I said before you even start drawing the first picture I want you to watch the movie or at least catch some highlights of the movie the incredible Mr. Lippett so and I've had that movie since I was five or six years old yeah my very first movie in a movie theater and Alice the movie
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): and for those for those who don't remember that was with Don Nott and to tie back to something you said a little before that just a minute ago I'm gonna give a little inside behind the scenes on an email we said back and forth the philosophy of wedding someone's whistle in fact you asked me about you know questions or whatever specifics and I said no just deal in vague generalizations hopefully enough to pick folks interest right that's your book pick their interests your curiosity get them to want to research and learn more on their own question what they've been indoctrinated in for themselves self educate so I mean that all ties perfectly you can't try to force things into people it's like with the Bible right beating somebody over the head with the Bible you gotta read it you gotta read it you gotta read it isn't gonna work you've got to why I love like weird movies one of my favorite Christian movies is the resurrection of Gavin Stone now fellow Christian some might oh my god you can't use the word resurrection and a human and they're calm down right it's about reaching others not just preaching to the choir and it's a whole thing about a narrative Wells journey to Christ through community service he's undertaking and then takes part in a play that's about the resurrection of Christ so it's an allegorical personal resurrection from non-believer to believer and it's a comedy mainly so through comedy you can get through people's defenses and plant some seeds and that is the point plant the seed get them to want to learn more trying to force them to learn more it's part of human nature yeah no not gonna do it yeah you can't make me
ROY F WEAVER: I mean in a short book big big print you know nice cartoon pictures fits on the back of the toilet and you can probably finish it in one city I mean city
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): well is that no I'm kidding we won't give it back you know obviously the Christian show we don't I don't swear a whole lot here but yeah an occasional shit or damn or you know but there are levels of foul language right you know there are times I think you used it in a fun joking manner but also my language articles you know sometimes you need something extra for the emphasis the only way you'll get others attention is sadly with that so I'm not adverse to an
ROY F WEAVER: occasional f-bomb here and there yeah I don't ever use it the Lord
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah that's a whole other episode like but I would I would challenge people to
ROY F WEAVER: read this little thing but it's just a little big print the people down at the senior center really like me and now they all enjoy the book it doesn't take long to read and I challenge people find the different levels within government within society within culture the how one culture attempts to dominate and reign into meeting over another culture and for that culture is completely gone or assimilated or becomes part of the overall look at America I mean how many cultures make up the American culture and none of yeah I mean yeah there may have been some conflict I mean every time that there's cultural flash there's conflict look at the hunter gatherers and then the agrarian came in and you know and tried to wipe out the hunter gatherers then the industrial came in and had wiped out both of the previous cultures all part of
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): human nature and human history some want to try to ignore right you you brought up several things that triggered additional thoughts like the North American continent all oh my god all the white people coming over here and displacing the need of Americans which if you go back in history far enough they migrated over the land bridge so they also were immigrants to the territory they also endlessly fought wars against each other for territory so who will really own what originally is arguable and the other thing is you kind of mentioned diversity issue or right e pluribus unum the left can't grasp that we are indeed a nation of legal immigrants and we don't culturally appropriate we blend e pluribus unum from many one from the other cultures we then melted the melting pot into our own additional unique culture which often pays homage to the other cultures and then the last thing I wanted to ask you this it may be too high a concept for a book that would be for children's age like do you go into the Roman concept and some argue today and I've written about it I'll include a link in the show notes the bread and circus right keep keep the humans distracted what keep them paying attention to the sporting events so they don't pay attention to what the leaders are doing to them not for them that's probably to draw the concept for that book no there's a
ROY F WEAVER: picture of a stadium cool picture of a stadium on page nine with all of the fish being preoccupied going to the games at the stadium bingo bread and circus is in there trust me it took me over a year to get this book published from the original story that was just a few pages that I had pointed out and of course the grandkids mother would read it to them and I said well let's try and let's get it published so the kids have a book that they can I would like to see them do a book report on it yeah especially in today's educational environment when I was in uh my school I was on the debate team and and the debate back in 73 74 was whether or not the federal government should take over the standardization of education and uh unconstitutional yeah well the only argument we had at the time was oh look at Mississippi you know they're gone
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): that was the only argument now everybody is though since since the foundation of the Department of Education illegally and unconstitutionally violation of local and states rights and parental rights uh our kids have gotten dumber and dumber and dumber test scores keep going down well we didn't have that
ROY F WEAVER: information back then we were trying to argue for it and we couldn't win because there were so many arguments against the federal government taking over the education that there weren't enough facts or examples other than Mississippi to to try and sway the other side and we just couldn't win but now the other side it would probably be reversed it should really be reversed if that were a debate
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): issue today yeah oh the Supreme Court it needs to be challenged just like Dobbs abortion is not in the Constitution it's a state issue uh education state issue so many things state issue tense amendment but the Constitution is ignored and harkenback is uh more behind the scenes we talked about this again I didn't want to learn a lot about you because it makes for a more unique interview I learn as the audience learns right they may say how did I not know that stadium scene was in there did I not read the book no I didn't I didn't want to that was the whole point for me to then be fresh to
ROY F WEAVER: ask you about the book and and I like your intuitive intuitive perception that it would be in there because you can follow the train of the book even without reading it and just by talking to me about the story yeah so yeah before we go
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): running further and I want to wrap it up soon I don't like to have shows that are too long I like to try to keep it that you know someone could drive to a diner ten minutes listen to a show ten minutes back to work you know over lunch over dinner to and from work or whatever level shows so I forgot what I was gonna say now oh no I again without having read it but also I don't have children I was married divorce we never had children sometimes that's a good thing sometimes that's bad then right but it's the sole purpose of life or self perpetuation of the species then I say there is no meaning to life there are higher points and purposes the Bible talks to but I highly recommend indeed if you have a high grade or even maybe junior high and you might even get some high school students interested in it to buy it and get them to read it to indeed open them to things the indoctrination factories don't want them thinking about it's like George Carlin said right it it sums up the modern left to a tee a dumb down bread and circus and compass society so you're not paying attention as Carlin said they want you just smart enough to run the machines and know what lever to pull on election day because that's what you've been told to think not make you able to think and this book hopefully opens people up to kids to thinking okay I have a couple of quick points of course I
ROY F WEAVER: want to warn today because it's harvest season and they're harvesting ballots now yeah different ways there are to harvest the ballots but I've purchased 50 books I put them in dentist's offices doctors offices put the big car repair waiting rooms Harley Davidson and I'll go back later on and the pages will be just totally knurled and then oh you could tell people are paying attention yes I get my feedback by going out and seeing who's reading the book so you can't go to auto-light or Harley Davidson or any of the repair shops in town or the doctor's office of the dentist and their textbooks it not colorful it's you know it attracts the kids attention and nothing else they can sit and look through the pictures putting weight rooms in the hospital so that people waiting for their loved ones to come out of surgery and get a little enjoyment out of it so and and I'm not making a lot of money not that I care but I appreciate the fact that that people are reading the book and and another one more point about what you were saying earlier we have an occupation and the rest is preoccupation and our occupation is like our occupation is is getting to where we're supposed to go I mean we get a body in a brain and we get to travel through life and everyone has the same destiny
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah I'm glad you said that I'm gonna tell you from I'm gonna steal it
ROY F WEAVER: I'm kidding that's good I played no I played no propriety to anything I say and the reason I don't is because someone's probably said it and I don't want to
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): play you know right you you accidentally thinking the same way right saying is similar but you could be accused of paraphrasing somebody's famous quote and you don't want to be accused of stealing it no I get that I have a cool whole quotations chapter and I talk about you know the issue of plagiarism as well as sometimes some similar people can and will say similar things independently thinking of others that may have said it and also regarding your book and kids you know just out and about average kids potentially seeing that it's important because rather than them reading the warped children's story ESOP's fables and all that have been bastardized from the original versions right the three little pig story moral is lost the Robin Hood story is twisted takes from the rich to give to the poor no the moral was a governance story he took from the sheriff of Nottingham representative of the king of the state and took money stolen from the peasants in the form of taxes because taxation is theft one of the morals of the Robin Hood story the left don't want people to understand and James that that from the government to the peasants yeah well look what they did with Noah oh yeah the one Noah movie was just like oh my but yeah at any rate I want to say before I forget on the book because there may be other Roy Weaver's right you are Roy F Weaver on Amazon on the book Roy F Weaver now does Roy F Weaver have a website for people to reach out to you what I do not you just use Amazon kind of as your star yeah
ROY F WEAVER: I mean you can look me up on a couple different things but you know kind of scattered around I was on that us he jumping team in 1976 so if you look up Roy Weaver and ski jumping you'll get some information from like former comrades I have another book oh don't don't don't use that word during the show which is also Amazon so it's only because if you look me up you might find the other book and I have and and the reason I meant all the reason I mentioned it is because I dedicated the large mouth asked to my daughter who have brain cancer and she you know she died and so I wrote her biography from my perspective and that's the other book and and you know the all the proceeds that I get from these books go to Saint Jude children's research and so and I'm not doing it to get other people to buy that by my book so I will give the money to Saint Jude's if you want to give money to Saint Jude's to money to Saint Jude's that's just my commitment personally I'm not trying to you know a lot of people will collect a bunch of money and give it to charity as if they were giving it to charity but it's all the people that contribute so yeah that's just my own
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): person I don't I don't keep any of the proceeds right well regarding the joke about you using the word comrade of course and it's a four-letter word now but you go back before Marx comrade wouldn't be a nasty dirty word right it's like I talk on this Christian show all the time community is biblical it's voluntary our free will through charity we are to be our brothers keeper versus communism which is and socialism the bastardization of community which is forced and theft big difference
ROY F WEAVER: yeah so anyway and like like you said the community of speed dumping it includes a lot of other countries as well to include Eastern Bloc Scandinavia and Russian I ski with Russians back in the 70s so I'm you know

USA: Past, Present, What Is Its/Our Future…

USA - past, present, what is its future? Is the USA still the Constitutionally Limited (Judeo/Christian) REPUBLICan form of Government our Founders created? As Franklin said "A Republic, IF you can keep it." Have WE THE PEOPLE dropped the Ball and we now beyond point-of-no-return into Leftism Spectrum (Communism, Fascism, Socialism) Governance (point-of-know-return, as our Children learn nothing really about History, only distorted aspects)... Once Freedoms/Rights are lost/eroded they are likely to not be regained, at least not easily (and as some ask, are we in a COLD Civil War about to turn Hot?).... Republican speaks to "Separation Of Church And State" Jefferson Letter distortion... Faith (or lack there-of) in USA Politics...Will the USA as the last place on Earth, nowhere to flee as our Founders were able to come to N. America back when (unless you like really Cold and want to move to Antarctica) and the "Shining City On A Hill" destroyed and become yet another Banana-Republic like all the others?

COMMUNITY (Voluntary, Charitable, lift UP, etc.) Biblical.
COMMUNISM (Forced, theft redistribution, tear down, etc.) IS NOT!

Original CTP book examined Bible context and proper historical application of Jefferson Letter (NOT declare "Separation FROM Church TO State" some try apply). Of late seen criticisms about Washington "An Appeal To Heaven" flag flown that [previously they] demanded our Founders "really not Religious people" (with that thought, flag "really didn't mean anything") and despite endless "Quotations" (chapter included here-in) our Constitution/Republic only sustainable if Godly / Moral peoples. Now some try claim "meant nothing flag" means "Christian [Theocracy] Nationalism" signal.
CTP2 dives deeper into false-narratives (Bible distortions) and while we're "called" be "Brother's Keeper, "Widows / Orphans," and like via Christian Charity ("Cheerful Giver" not theft / redistribution), Jesus not Socialist and "Community" (Bible sense, distinction between "unable" vs "unwilling") not modern Political "Communism" (yet some try co-opt / distort "Community" language).

CTP2 dives still deeper into false-narratives (Bible distortions) and while we're "called" be "Brother's Keeper, "Widows / Orphans," and like via Christian Charity ("Cheerful Giver" not theft / redistribution), Jesus not a Socialist and "Community" (Bible sense, distinction between "unable" vs "unwilling") not like modern Political "Communism" (yet some try co-opt and distort "Community" language).

Join "ChristiTutionalist" Army and fight (figuratively/vocally) wearing Armor of God (via contextually correct Scriptural knowledge / application). Book those claim to be Christian but really only have Faith and fealty to Tyrannical Governance (their lord/savior, rather than The Lord/Saviour) over masses.

--- from the book ("Quotations" chapter):
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." – Ronald Reagan

What others have to say....

Welcome to "ChristiTutionalist TM Politics: Christian Based U.S. Constitutionalism," a profound exploration authored by Joseph M. Lenard. This book arrives at a pivotal moment in time, as we Americans try to navigate the increasingly complex interplay between faith and governance in America.
As the host of “The Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast,” I have had the privilege of conducting over 1000 interviews in the past five years, engaging with diverse voices across the spectrum of faith and politics. Time and again, I find the principles of "Christian Constitutionalism" deeply resonating within our discussions, reflecting a shared yearning for a governance model that is not only effective but also ethically sound and spiritually rooted.
Joseph M. Lenard’s insights, which I have had the pleasure of delving into during several interviews with him, are consistently insightful and often remarkably spot on. This book is a testament to his deep understanding of the symbiotic relationship between Christian values and American constitutionalism. It is not just a scholarly text; it is a call to action, urging us to lead with morality and preserve a legacy of liberty that integrates our faith with our civic duties.
"Christian based U.S. Constitutionalism," as articulated in this engaging work, challenges us to consider our roles, not merely as citizens, but as guardians of a heritage that beautifully combines divine guidance with the responsibilities of citizenship. Through thoughtful discussions on issues like the economic policies critiqued in "BIDENomics" and the nuanced debates in "God and Guns," this book does more than analyze—it inspires and compels moral reflection and action.
This book invites every reader to partake in a journey, that not only addresses today’s pressing challenges, but also paves the way for a future built upon the bedrock of Christian Constitutional principles.
As you turn each page of Joseph M. Lenard’s "ChristiTutionalist TM Politics," remember that you are not just reading; you are being called to a movement of faith, freedom, and fraternity.
Together, let us tread this path with resolve and hope, armed with the wisdom of our forebears and the guiding light of our faith, striving towards a society that truly embodies the principles of Christian Constitutionalism.
When we consider the Grand Scheme of God’s Creation, there is no doubt, Joseph M. Lenard’s book on "Christian based U.S. Constitutionalism," was destined “for such a time as this.” In fact, you are reading this (right now) because God pre-ordained it “for such a time as this.”
As you read this great book by Joseph M. Lenard, think and contemplate how God would have YOU (yes YOU), take the actions needed to turn this nation around.

Drawing from the rich and complex ideas of “ChristiTutionalist TM Politics 2,” writing an afterword for such an important book requires deep respect and thought. As the radio host of “Entry Level Christianity” on KKLA 99.5 FM and WWPR 1490 AM, I'm in a special spot to talk about how faith, politics, and society change as shown in this book. My job is not just to summarize but to think deeply about the lasting messages and what they mean for our future.
First, the book's strong focus on "Christian based U. S. Constitutionalism" is a key point for this afterword. This idea isn't just a political position but a call to act morally, pushing for a society that keeps Christian values and closely follows the essential freedoms and rights in the U.S. Constitution. It makes us think about our duties not just as citizens but as caretakers of a heritage of freedom and faith. How we deal with the complex issues of governance, with the Bible in one hand and the Constitution in the other, shapes both our national identity and personal character.
The section on "BIDENomics" critically looks at modern economic policies and how they match—or don't match—ChristiTutionalist TM ideals. It urges us to closely examine the economic rules our leaders follow and how these reflect our main values. In today's troubled economic world, where the gap between rich and poor grows, the book asks us to find solutions that are both economically smart and morally right. It reminds us that economic policy is not without moral value and that the choices we support can either help or harm our society's overall well-being.
The discussion on "God and Guns" gives a thoughtful view on the Second Amendment, set against Christian morals. It explores the complicated relationship between the right to own guns and the need for peace and safety in our communities. It's a deep look at the value of life, the right to defend oneself, and the goal of a society where both are protected. As we face this ongoing debate, the book encourages us to find ways that respect both our constitutional rights and our wish for a life-respecting culture.
Writing this afterword, it's clear that “ChristiTutionalist TM Politics 2” is not just a commentary on current events but a call for a lifestyle that supports faith, freedom, and brotherhood. It challenges us to think about our place in a society that may not always share our values. As a radio host, I'm reminded that my voice can guide those looking for direction at this crossroads, encouraging my listeners to thoughtfully consider these ideas.
As we finish this book, we're not just ending a discussion on politics and faith. We're asked to consider the chance for a new society—one built on Christian Constitutionalism principles, where the search for justice, liberty, and prosperity is guided by our deepest beliefs. The road ahead is full of challenges, but it's a path we must walk with determination and hope, led by the lasting light of our faith and the wisdom of our ancestors.
