Senator Thayn discusses how the bill has morphed into something other than what the public thought they were voting for. 00:30:00Roadmap to FreedomnoInitiative to expand medicaid,steven thayn,don-alan rekow,roadmap to freedom,Prop 2How did the initiative of proposition two to medicaid change into something other than what was voted for by the public?7e153965-6f00-4e99-abfe-793e74443277115fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2019/03/15/the-nature-of-the-mediaPolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2019/03/15/the-nature-of-the-media/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2019/03/15/the-nature-of-the-mediaFri, 15 Mar 2019 13:00:00 GMTThe Nature of the MediaUnderstanding the media can certainly help you understand what they report and why they report the way they do.

Neither has the power to solve our current or future political, economic, or social problems and create long-term stability, universal prosperity, and freedom where individuals and families can thrive. The family is the institution of the people that empowers the people. As families increase in strength and power freedom and stability increase. If the family weakens, institutions and government grow. Every institution other than the family has the potential to weaken and harm the family when the institution stops serving families and begins to expect families (taxpayers) to serve the institution. 00:29:00Roadmap to FreedomnoLiberalism,Dangers of liberalism,Political ideas,destruction of family,understanding political philosophiesLiberalism solves problems by empowering the govenment by centralizing power, controling resources at the expense of the family.f3191fc7-a851-4234-ae7b-4f6d826a272613fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/28/the-inflexibility-of-education-systemsPolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/28/the-inflexibility-of-education-systems/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/28/the-inflexibility-of-education-systemsFri, 28 Sep 2018 13:00:00 GMTThe Inflexibility of Education SystemsThe greatest dilemma facing mankind is the migration of power away from the family to institution. What happens when the Educational Institution is inflexible to make needed changes in the system? The only way individuals can reach self-sufficiency is if they progress from a dependent child to a contributing adult. This is the process that all must pass. Government programs must assist in this process rather than encourage transitioning adults to become dependent.  School systems must teach the child attributes and skills that allow them to function in society, and be flexible enough to adopt programs that are working in other areas of the state or nation. 00:19:00Roadmap to FreedomnoEducation system,Political discussion,Advanced OpportunitiesWhat it takes to change the system005bc9a8-8e8d-4001-bd9e-9f5f67f4bd4912fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/21/roadmap-to-freedom-is-it-possiblePolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/21/roadmap-to-freedom-is-it-possible/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/steventhayn/2018/09/21/roadmap-to-freedom-is-it-possibleFri, 21 Sep 2018 13:00:00 GMTRoadmap to Freedom, is it possible?There are two major political philosophies in America – liberalism and conservatism.
