Frederic Bastiat on Property & Plunder

Mandeville, LA - Since the subject of "Profit and Plunder" keeps coming up on the radio show and since I keep referring to Bastiat's brilliant essay on the subject, I have gathered the open source material from Bastiat's works and am posting part of his book "The Law" here to inform listeners and visitors on the subject. If you'd like to read the book online it can be found here and I am embedding an amazon.com link to it in this post as well. -Go….Continue

Liberty Exists Without The Government's Permission

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike:  I just stop sometimes, I just marvel, seriously marvel at what liberty has created on these shores.  We have things that no civilization in the history of Earth, hell, in the known universe, going all the way back to the cantina bar on Tatooine, or Dantooine.  No one has had access to the stuff that Americans take for granted.  And all you have to do is go to a birthday party to see it on display.  You have every manner of food tha….Continue

Government Does Not "Create" Our Liberty

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike: The reason why the guy that called at the end of the last hour — I just want to get back into this real quick. The reason why this animates me and sets me off is because this idea, this idea is at the heart of the cancer. That guy that called me last hour is evidence of the left’s success. The guy that said, “Eh, Kennedy says that ask not what you can do for your — what your government can do for you….Continue

BONUS: The Healthcare Debate Is Truly About Liberty

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike: Your care, the care of your life, your freedom to negotiate a deal that might bankrupt you, true, but would save your life, your freedom to do that isn’t worth the piece of paper that you would sign it away for in the eyes of those people that live inside that 10-mile square. And they’re aghast that you’ve figured this out. They have been running roughshod over you and I, you and me, for seven decades now. They’ve taken over our ….Continue

Real Liberty is Protection

The notion of liberty is what this country was built on – but what does the phrase “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” actually mean?  It means freedom is something given to you, but something you have to earn as well – by participating in society. Mike explains that it all stems from our beginnings to break from England.  He adds, “According to the Constitution, you have rights, but only when you participate in the society. Y….Continue

[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 tyranny by praises and rewards, whilst honesty is discouraged by base epithets, as a foil to the varnish with which the decoys are painted, designed to deceive and enslave the multitude

John Taylor of Caroline from his 1814 book "An Inquiry Into the Principles & Policy of the Government of the United States"
