Subscribers call into the Conversation. Here are some of the answers Andrew gave to some of the questions that subscribers asked.
If you act well in joy, then you will be an advertisement for virtue. If you are miserable but act virtuously you will not be a good advertisement for virtue.
Life is good. That is the greatest truth. Life is also suffering. If you choose to live, suffering will be a part of life that you will experience. "To be or not to be" is actually the question.
What makes the Gosnell movie about abortion? Because the media won't cover it because they think it is about abortion! They didn't cover the trial. They didn't cover the story (book). They won't cover the movie. Are they experiencing shame and guilt?
Who are Andrew's favorite writers? Number one is Shakespeare. He also mentions Dickens. But Andrew's favorites are American tough guy writers such as Hemingway, Raymond Chandler, and Dashiell Hamit. He believes in fast-moving American prose that gets you where you want to go, the American vernacular. Stories that have insight into human life.
Why sabotage yourself? God will give you insights into why you are sabotaging yourself if you go to Him in prayer. By talking to a psychotherapist you can avoid walking through a minefield. Instead, you can walk through a field of traps and see where they are. Ask God for help and follow His will instead of your will. Almost all of us want things for our lives that are actually not the things we should want.
Obama used political correctness and cultural issues to distract from his failing policies.
Andrew's favorite movie musical is Singin' In The Rain. Stage favorites: Sweeney Todd and Arcadia.
The government has the power to protect you from me, but it doesn't have the power to protect me from me!
Drugs steal the souls of users.
Saying you are afraid is fine, but acting on your fear is not so fine. Ask her out! Courage is not not having fear; it is having the fear and doing what you gotta do! The more you do it, the more you can do it!
Don't be careful about what you say; be careful about the way you say it! Don't confuse courage with rudeness.
Boys need to get outside! Boys deal with objects better than they deal with relationships. They relate to each other through objects (like sports). That is why science and technology are things boys naturally gravitate toward.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

The Conversation
At The Daily Wire every Tuesday one of their hosts engages in a one hour conversation with Alicia Krause. If you miss it on Tuesday, you can find it later on YouTube. That is what I did today in order to listen to Andrew Klavan here.
