Kevin Gutzman in Early (1994) Takedown of "American Exceptionalism" High Priest Harry Jaffa
Mandeville, LA - (Thanks to The Imaginative Conservative for this repost of Prof Gutzman's essay) Kevin Gutzman was once and aspiring young author and not the Colossus of Constitution we know and admire today (see his James Madison & The Making of America"). Back in 1994, Gutzman was presented the opportunity to partially weigh in on the famous dialogue that embroiled the young "American Exceptionalism" movement begun by Professor Harry Jaffa. If you've ever wondered how L….Continue
The Right To Determine Your Government Is Not Treason- Lysander Spooner
Mandeville, LA -Lysander Spooner is known as an opponent of the Constitution but that description isn't accurate as a scholarly & sober reading of this tract, Treason Pt I will confirm. Rather, Spooner was a defender of the right of self determination and the right of men to choose their own forms of government, just as Patrick Henry and company announced to their countrymen they should do in 1774 - 1788. In "Treason" Spooner demolishes the legitimacy of the North's war of….Continue

Chantilly VA - The following text is the rough outline Mike Church used to deliver prepared remarks to the LPAC 2012 conference, 14 September, 2012 at the Westfields Marriott Center, Chantilly, VA. Founders DID NOT envision: Medicare, Medicaid, The Ag Department, the Helium Dept, The CBO, The OMB, SSA, SSB and Bureau of BS almost anything that has 3 or 4 Alphabet soup characters in it. Founders DID NOT envision Iraq, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sau….Continue

Restoring [r]epublican virtue: Mike Church Spreads the Good Word of John Taylor of Caroline
The Wisdom of John Taylor of Caroline by Bradley J. Birzer, TIC co-editor [Reposted with permission of The Imaginative Conservative, original article link is here] During the annual meeting of the Academy of Philosophy and Letters in Baltimore this summer, radio personality and [r]epublican man of virtue, Mike Church, called for a revival and remembrance of the thought of John Taylor of Caroline. Perhaps, Church persuasively argued, we might very well find some answers and s….Continue
"Money For Nuthin' & Your Chicks For Free"-My Tour of the RNC
Tampa FL - Warned John Taylor in his "Inquiry Into The Principles of the Gov't of the United States" "[The powerful Executive branch]...converts representation into vassalage to the leaders of parties, disciplined, not by the comparatively honourable infliction of the lash, but by the base and wicked sophism, that it is honourable to stick to a party, and treacherous to adhere to conscience. The disciples of this infamous doctrine are forged into tools for ambition and tyran….Continue
John Taylor of Caroline-The Evil Moral principles Of The Government of the Unite States
Mandeville, LA - This is the 3rd chapetr of John Taylor's work 'An Inquiry into the Principles and Policy of the Government of the United States" written chiefly as a response to John Adams' "Defence of the Constitutions of The United States". This chapter lays out Taylor's belief that no system of government that ever stray from [r]epublican forms can remain free of corruption.

One Gentleman's Journey To The Fellow Traveller Side of a Line In The Sand
Mandeville, LA - I have met many men in my role of satellite radio pariah to the Republican establishment (and outright heretic to the Democrat coven) but few match the genius and literary gift that is Brad Birzer. From the first time I read his "American Cicero-The Life of Charles Carroll of Carrollton" I was hooked on Brad's writing. Over the last 3 years we have become friends and I have benefitted and learned much from that relationship. Brad is now emerging into new terr….Continue
Hello Straw, My Name's CNN, & I'm Here To Grasp At You (The REAL History of USA/Anglo Saxon)
Mandeville, LA - The Parrot Press Corps has outdone itself this time, ambushing an unsuspecting Mitt Romney for uttering the words "Anglo-Saxon" in a positive manner. Romney pledged to ease the icy tension between Great Britain and the U.S. *(he might just want to jot down UK specs for DVD's & CD's) after Obama's famous slight (a gift of DVD's that won't play on EU DVD players). The Telegraph UK, breathlessly reported the possible tinge of "racial insensitivity" containe….Continue
Speech Week: What Would the Young Founders Do With ObamaCare?
The title of tonight's talk is 'What Would The Young Founders Do With ObamaCare? ' It is a sign of our times that the terms 'Founding Fathers' have almost become synonymous with acts of virtue, prudence and the highest moral character and while that is mostly true, there were times when the men we call 'founding fathers ' tried the patience of their elders, acted immaturely and even did radical things you may think only show-offs or wild men might do, in other words those youn….Continue

Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright - Demolishes Big Gubbmint Republican Nationalism
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - In today's transcript, Mike reads excerpts from Thomas Jefferson's letter to John Cartwright from 1824 and provides his own exceptional commentary on it. In the letter Jefferson explains that the Bill of Rights was written specifically to limit the role of the general government. Jefferson even brags in the letter about how the STATE Constitutions guarantee freedom of the press and freedom of religion, so that the they can take care of t….Continue
Thomas Jefferson's [r]epublican America is Much Like The One Mike Church Promotes
Thomas Jefferson letter to John Cartwright. To Major John Cartwright Monticello, June 5, 1824 Dear and Venerable Sir, I am much indebted for your kind letter of February the 29th, and for your valuable volume on the English constitution. I have read this with pleasure and much approbation, and think it has deduced the constitution of the English nation from its rightful root, the Anglo-Saxon. It is really wonderful, that so many able and learned men should have failed in t….Continue

The Virginia Declaration of Rights by George Mason
(Audio) Mandeville, LA - I have often told the story that while writing the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson was inspired by founder George Mason. There is no clearer example of this than Jefferson's heavy use of Mason's phrase from the VA Declaration concerning the pursuit of happiness. this should clear it up and hopefully help the reader fully understand that had Jefferson been as verbose as Mason, the "all men are created equal" phrase from the Declaration woul….Continue

Jefferson to Madison: Just say no on post roads
Mandeville, LA - It often comes to my attention that most folks think it entirely proper that the Federal Government should design, confiscate the property, then build and maintain millions of miles of Interstate roads and bridges. Many time people use the argument that "well the Constitution does give Congress authority to build post roads." Actually the Constitution gives Congress the authority to"establish" post roads NOT build them. No one exp….Continue
Thomson Mason - The Revolutionary Founder You Never heard Of
On today's show I introduced you to Thomson Mason, George Mason's brother. Thomson was heavily involved in the writing of Revolutionary War tracts asserting the rights of the Colonists living in their sovereign "states". Mason is the author of the letter I read on today's show which read in part. "It is objected that this measure strikes at the Navigation Acts, which we have long submitted to. The very objection evinces the folly of trusting the decision of this dispute to po….Continue
