Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The act and action and activity of marriage is becoming less and less of a solemn act, solemn meaning you don’t break it. You do everything that you have to do or that you can or must do to avoid breaking it. That is just not the way it is viewed today. It is not the opinion of the majority of people, and that’s because we have become a secular people, by and large. Those considerations don’t matter. This is really just, t….Continue

Maryland's Second Amendment Battle

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let me be clear. I am not a proponent of and I think it’s heinous that the State of Maryland would ban or try to interfere with its citizens protecting themselves outside of their homes by carrying their weapons with them. Here in Louisiana, your automobile is an extension of your home. If you want to bring your weapon with you and you’re carrying it in your car, you’re basically carrying it in ….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is a very dangerous thing that we have done. We are flirting with disaster. We are flirting with human misery. We are not the exception to the rule of human nature, sir. We are humans. We are fallible. Human nature does not change over continents. In our arrogance and saying things like you just said, we make ourselves “We’re the exception. We would never rain that kind of tyranny.” S….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I guess the point of the exercise is that we have all manner of extravagance and we live a very posh, gilded lifestyle here, while those people that you’re talking about are suffering in the third world. If you think that is something that needs to stop and that is your calling, it’s not your government’s job to do that. It’s your job to do that.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – It’s kind of like saying harnessing the knowledge and the technological expertise that it took to be able to split an atom yielded medical breakthroughs that would have previously been impossible. Splitting the atom and radioactive isotopes and using them leads to all manners of chemotherapies and treatments for cancers, all sorts of nifty things that we have learned after being able to split the atom. It also led to being able t….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We now have reached the juncture in our concurrent evolution as citizens where one of the functions of our government is to kill our own citizenry? Really?

Instead Of Learning From History, Today's Youth Is Erasing It

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The bad of it is that they’re rejecting all of recorded history. They’re saying the people that came before them were a bunch of racist, hick hayseeds that aren’t worth our consideration. We need to cleanse the history books of them and learn from them because they were wrong. In other words, our foreparents aren’t to be admired; they’re to be relegated to the ashbin of history. This is a point of view that is very dang….Continue

Money Is Not The Purpose Of Life, The Transcendent Is The Purpose

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Money is not transcendent. I’m not so naïve to think you don’t need it and some manner of wealth in order to survive, or in some instances in order to share it with those who may be temporarily or permanently less fortunate, is a good thing. Without that Transcendent there, all these things that are based solely in dollar signs and dollar amounts are fleeting. They don’t last. Such is our government. Check out today’s t….Continue

Was Secession A Constitutional Right? 1868 Book Concluded It Was. "It was in 1833, for the frst time in the history of the country, that it was solemnly asserted and argued, that the Constitution of the 'United States was not a compact between the States. This new doctrine simultaneously put forth, by Mr. Justice Story in his "Commentaries on the Constitution of the 'United States," and by Mr. Daniel Webster in "the greatest intellectual effort of his life," that is, in his great speech in the Senate of the I6th of February, 1833. In order to show that the Constitution is not a compact between the States, the position is assumed, that it is not a compact at all. If it be a compact, say they, then the States had a right to secede. But it is not a compact; and hence secession is treason and rebellion. The great fundamental questions, then, on which the whole controversy hinges are, first, Is the Constitution a compact? and, secondly, Is it a compact between the States?" - Albert Bledsoe, Was Secession A Constitutional Right (1868)
