Libertarians Respond To Mike's Rant On Anarchists
On today's Mike Church Show the question arose as to whether the "Tea Party" was using the term "conservative" to sell memberships, products, convention attendance or promote a lifestyle? Mike told producer "AG" that the answer was the former, "AG" then asked if "Libertarians" were thus the new "conservatives".….Continue
White House Cites Lincoln on Secession But Lincoln's Abolitionist Buddies WERE Secessionists
Mandeville, LA - By Mike Church - When the White House responded to Michael E.'s "Peaceful Secession from Union" petition they quoted Lincoln as the historian of record for the view that "there is no right to walk away" [from the Union]. That's a historically ignorant statement seeing as how abolitionist Yankee Senators and citizens alike who ultimately would call Southerners "traitors", agitated for and promoted "secession as a duty" as late as 1861.….Continue
Blast From the Past: Ron Paul Interviewed by Mike Church in New Orleans, LA
On 17 June 2011 at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Rep. Ron Paul sat down with Mike Church to answer some questions about the debt, the ongoing wars, and the Federal Reserve just to name a few. Remember folks, this is right when the GOP race was getting started and this is Mike interviewing Dr. Paul, so not every other question is about Romney or a social issue and there's not "gotcha" moments, just straight talk. Check out this great interview from almost a y….Continue
How The Non-Profits Expand Government by Shooting Lame Ducks
Mandeville, LA- [r]epublican (and listener to the Mike Church Show) Sandi discovers first hand what Mike speaks of when he decries the "non-profits" as "being in on it". The "It" being the revolving door of money that flows to non-profits via Mordor's tax shelter policies (tax codes) that is then used to devise new ways to "reform" or "improve", heck even "expand" the already menacing Leviathan. In this case, capital was transferred to non-profit AFP to employ Mr. Programmer….Continue

Mandeville, LA - In response to many requests by readers for a posting of Freidrich Hayek's "response" to Russell Kirk's "Chirping Sectaries" essay, here is the Hayek post in its entirety. I will post more of a narrative and response after reading this work in its entirety. Why I Am Not a Conservative By Nobel laureate F. A.

EPIC: Paleocons vs Libertarians in Russell Kirk's "Chirping Sectaries"
Mandeville, LA - Since the subject of Tradition vs Reason come sup nearly every day on the Mike Church Show, I thought it would be helpful to lay out what the differences are - or were - between Libertarians & their practice of Reason and Paleocon/Tradcons and their defense and study of Tradition. M.E. Bradfor's opus magnus "A Better Guide Than Reason" takes the side of Tradition as does this essay by Russell Kirk "Chirping Sectaries". It is undeniable that the sinking of ….Continue
For The John Roberts Haters, HL Mencken on "Provocative Mirth"
For those still troubled and aching over Chief Justice-Supreme Mystic Ruler -John Roberts' majority opinion in ObamaCare, recall, that some of us predicted the outcome AND told you that putting your constitution's fate in the judiciousness of Federal Judges would lead to tears and tyranny. Consider this little gem from HL Mencken. "It is, perhaps, a fact provocative of sour mirth that the Bill of Rights was designed trustfully to prohibit forever two of the favorite crimes of ….Continue
When Your Daughter Brings Home Salvador Dali
Mandeville, LA - My precious, innocent baby girl Reagan (she is 15) quoted Salvador Dahli to me today and then showed me an image form one of his works. Far from being "cool" I told her, Dahli was a pervert and a disgusting human being. I recalled I once read a piece of an essay prepared by george Orwell on Dahli-posted in the early 90's @Brad Birzer's Hillsdale College (in Imprimis). I have located the compleat essay, shared it with my daughter a….Continue

Prof. Clyde Wilson Defends & Defines "A Little Rebellion"
Mandeville, LA - I have with great energy read and re-read Prof. Clyde Wilson's essays available online. Essays that move the real freedom loving journeyman to action in words and deeds. In this excerpt from the Nov., 2011 issue of Chronicles Magazine (a great mag to subscribe to!) Prof. Wilson lays out the best case for what the American Revolution produced I have ever read. One cannot help but feel compelled to run or gallop to the local, burst the doors open and yell "th….Continue
Lord Acton was a Secession & Southern Supporter
Bologna November 4, 1866 Sir, The very kind letter which Mrs. Lee wrote to my wife last winter encouraged me to hope that you will forgive my presuming to address you, and that you will not resent as an intrusion a letter from an earnest and passionate lover of the cause whose glory and whose strength you were. I have been requested to furnish private counsel in American affairs for the guidance of the editors of a weekly Review which is to begin at the New Year, and which wil….Continue
Brave Horatius at the bridge
I am often asked the question: Mike, if you're so sure there is no hope for the Constitution and the Union why don't YOU just give up!?" And the answer is "just because the fight seems unwinnable that doesn't mean that it is worth fighting. That's where the "Brave Horatius at the bridge" poem comes in because Horatius faces the same situation and the same question, yet he soldiers on. Share this poem with your children, friends and family, it may ….Continue
Learn Austrian Economics at iTunes
I discovered Austrian Economics through my reading of Freidrich von Hayek. At the time I read Hayek (twice!) there wasn't an "Austrian" I could recite by name, now thanks to the Von Mises institute and mises.org I can recite a lot of names and also a lot of Austrian theory. Free markets are the greatest methods of exchange in civil societies and have brought more prosperity to the world in just a few centuries than all the divine rights of kings a….Continue

James Buchanan's "Public Choice Theory"
I briefly alluded to professor Buchanan's "Public Choice Theory" on Thursday, 7 January 2010. As I have been saying for overe a year now it is absolute folly to believe in "reform" or "reform candidates" when it comes to Mordor on the Potomac. Our Constitution is dead and Congress is an ad hoc government making its own rules up as it consumes the population. Here's an excerpt from Buchanan's "Public Choice Theory". "There is a familiar criticism o….Continue
