KANYE!, Eugenics, and Tasty Bacon

Kanye has been saying some very interesting things of late. Comments on Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger open the door to exploring the world view of Sanger: was she a racist as Kanye claims? Or is she something else? To answer this question we go back and take a look at her speech, "My Way To Peace" (link below), examine it and use it to explore the roots of her world view (lig). And along the way we encounter the most tasty of Enlightenment thinkers, Mr. Bacon.Links:The Imaginative ConservativeFrancis Bacon’s GodMy Way to Peace by Margaret SangerThe Symbolic World: Kanye West Runs for PresidentForbes Interview with Kanye WestThe Jefferson Exacto Knife BibleIf you like this podcast, please consider leaving a review with your comments.

Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly. Credits Music: Intro / Outro Provided by Greg Gilbertson & Band This is a public episode.
