Summary

In this episode of "The John Doyle Show," John shares his thoughts regarding a growing sentiment on the American right that claims that the Revolutionary War and, more broadly, the founding of the United States itself were bad. Whether this rhetoric comes from hard-line Catholics who view the founding fathers as satanic Freemasons, or neo-reactionaries who see the modern state of America as the inevitable results of our founding principles, John provides a retort by outlining the correct interpretation of the American Revolution as a "conservative revolution." Later on in the episode, John delivers the A's to your Q's in this week's Q&A. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
