Finally We Have a Dialogue Between Traditional Catholics and Everyone Else
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Thanks to things like the internet, Twitter, Facebook, all the different ways we have to communicate now days, there has actually been a dialogue between people of the traditional Catholic faith lately... and everyone else in the world. And when we say "traditional" we're talking about pre-Vatican II before they decided they could change Mass and do things in a more secular manner... because people are so lazy now days. But tradit….Continue
1913... Worst Year Ever?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - If you thought 2013 was going to be bad, just go back 100 years to where it all started in 1913: Woodrow Wilson is inaugurated and creates the Federal Reserve which creates the boom and bust cycle for the next 100 years, the 16th Amendment reinstated the Federal Income Tax, and the 17th Amendment made the direct election of Senators possible, putting the final nail in the coffin to states rights. Many ….Continue
If Suburbs Can Secede, Why Can't States?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - If you can accede to a plan of government, wouldn't it make sense that if the plan becomes injurious, that you can secede? Based on what's going on in Atlanta, with the suburbs seceding from their bankrupt cities, wouldn't it make sense that the next step would be for a state to secede from it's bankrupt National Government? Of course, that's if they can "get away with it" because if a state tries to se….Continue
Iraq War 10 Years Later... What Has Changed?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - This month is the ten year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. If you remember we had to make a case as to WHY Iraq had to be invaded, most of these reasons turned out to be bogus, including Saddam having uranium, trying to make a Nuke, and planning to invade us. So rather than having Congress declare a war, they created the Authorization for Use of Military Force so they wouldn't have to for it and Pr….Continue
The Power to Use Lethal Force is the Ultimate Force the State Wields
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There are clauses in the Constitution that the Government can rely upon to deal with citizens who are expected of committing treason and those include trying them in a court of law... not flying a drone over their house and dropping a bomb on them while they're having a BBQ. And this lethal power that the state wields is very dangerous because it is the ultimate power, there is nothing more precious than life and for it to be assert….Continue
If Senators Are Elected by State Legislatures, Will It Slow Down the Expansion of Government?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Before the 17th Amendment, the Senators were elected by the State Legislature and served at the behest of the State... which meant that they didn't serve as long because their job wasn't as "enjoyable" as serving the people. So the bill that Senator Nicely of Tennessee is proposing will, not only return the power of the State Legislatures to elect the Senators, but will also act as a "Term Limiting" bill since we've had half as many….Continue
The First Congress: An Inauspicious, Unattended Start
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Approximately 240 years ago the Congress and Senate were supposed to have their first meeting to elect the first President of the United States of America... but not enough Senators showed up to form a quorum. There were enough Congressmen there, but it took them several weeks and numerous letters to get some of the Senators (ahem,Virginia, ahem) there. And of course, when enough finally got to Federal Hall in New York, they electe….Continue
Cutting 0.7% of the Military Budget Is Being Hit Hard?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Apparently cutting $7 Billion out of a $1 Trillion budget is a big hit in today's big Military. Because you know, if we cut $7 Billion out of the budget, we're going to be invaded by foreign forces, who are already on their way over here when they heard the news. Of course fake Decepticons and NeoCons are already trying to get the $7 Billion back, which is almost the entire sequestered amount... so what exactly are they doing to fix….Continue
DeceptiCONS Seem to Forget That We Have TWO GIANT OCEANS Protecting Us
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Why do we worry so much about what other countries, like Iran, are doing with their Military when there's no way they could cross the Atlantic or Pacific and attack us? Our beaches are the most fortified and well defended in the world yet the Decepticons think that an invasion is a stones throw away and must keep spending as much as they can to stop the imaginary forces. Maybe instead of spending all of that money on fighter planes ….Continue
CPAC: The Bond (or lack thereof) Between Chris Christie and Mike Church
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Can you name the similarities between Chris Christie and Mike Church? Other than the obvious one that ISN'T true... there's the fact that they both don't play the partisan political games, for instance Christie didn't snub Obama after the Hurricane just because there was an election coming up and it was what the decepticons wanted him to do. Also, neither were invited to CPAC, because they don't play the partisan games and they don'….Continue
Iran is Our Biggest Threat?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There is something wrong in the world when IRAN, a country thousands of miles away with ONE nuclear plant (but dreams of building sixteen more) is considered our biggest threat. They don't have an Army or Navy that would last a day against us, nor do they even have any missiles that could reach our shores, so why are we constantly told they are our biggest threat? Don't listen to the propaganda you've b….Continue
Reagan Fixed Immigration, Why Break It Again?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - In 1986 the Reagan administration worked out immigration reform for the current times… and future generations. So why would the current congress want to try and fix something that isn't broken? And even if it was an issue they needed to address, good luck trying to get them to propose a solution that lasts for more than four years, much less "future generations". All they're concerned about are quick….Continue
The Internet: Making Us More Dumb Since 1972
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - "Sources? We don't need no stinkin' sources on the internet!" That seems to be the motto of many so-called "journalists" online (also called tweeters or bloggers) who simply repeat what the saw or heard on The Blaze or Glenn Beck without actually checking any of their facts. The internet has given us a wealth of information but it has also made us very lazy when it comes to checking that information to….Continue
Nullification Illegal? Nah, It's the RIGHT of the State.
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Many of the liberals out there will tell you that Nullification is illegal, in fact Lincoln himself supposedly outlawed it, but that's not possible. Nullification and interposition are the rights and the duty of the states when the Federal (National) Government gets out of hand. Just watch and listen to today's Founders TV to learn more from Mike as he discusses Donald Livingston's testimony on the subject, and be sure and pick up ….Continue
Happy Federally Mandated Presidents Day!
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Happy Presidents Day, or Washington's Birthday as it used to be known and celebrated on it's correct date of February 22nd, before the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1968 which moved some holidays to Mondays for Federal employees but has no authority over states and private citizens. And don't forget to go out and do what Washington would've wanted you to do on his birthday: take 50% off of a new mattres….Continue
Founding Fathers on War: Madison to Jefferson Letter of 1798
After watching Senator Paul's speech and becoming intrigued by the Madison line I began searching for the source which his notes did not provide. In my search I encountered dozens of articles citing the line, most attributed to Senator Paul. After a thorough search using google I could not locate the passage in question.….Continue
Happy Saint Valentines Day!
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - If you really want to aggravate people today be sure and wish them a Happy SAINT Valentines Day. All of the Hallmark cards and candy you'll see today have Happy VALENTINES Day written on them, but no one ever remembers the Saint upon which the day gets its name. He was, in fact, a real Saint (although he didn't give out candy to children) and died on February 14th, which is why the holiday falls on this….Continue
Climate Change We Can Believe In
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Is Obama really egotistical enough to believe that we, in our tiny miniscule existence compared to God and nature, can change the planets cycles? Does he really want us to go into another Ice Age? Practically nothing can survive during an Ice Age. If it warms up a little bit, that's fine, we'll adapt and crops will probably be more plentiful in a warmer climate... but nothing can grow when the ground is….Continue
The Confederacy: Do Watcha Wanna... Or Not
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - What if the Confederacy had been left on it's own? What direction would it have taken? There's too many possible outcomes to count here... and they aren't all sunshine and roses. One possibility is the GRADUAL elimination of slavery in the south because many European countries wouldn't trade with them until they got rid of it, and would've given way to mechanized farming anyways. But there would've bee….Continue

Definition of [r]epublicanism From Thomas Jefferson Letter to John Taylor of Caroline
Mandeville, LA - By Mike Church -"We are all [r]epublicans now." This is the Newsweek Magazine cover I hope to see someday but first we will need to educate many millions on just what [r]epublicanism is, why their Founding Parents said it was the best form of government and how they defined it. In this letter to John Taylor, Thomas Jefferson explains [r]epublicanism as he understands and promotes it. It is also enjoyable to read Jefferson's delight in Taylor's "pulverizing" ….Continue

I saw in State Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy.
