Despite Man's Best Efforts... God Still Wins.

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - You've all see the helicopter pictures from the destruction the EF-5 tornado wreaked on Moore, OK.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Since when is it the job of United States senators to side with traditional retailers? That’s not what they did. They did not side -- the more I think about this, the more angry I become. The upshot of all of this clamor and this agitation for this sales tax is that this is an economic miracle. If you work in brick-and-mortar retail, this is the greatest thing that has ever happened, ever. You will never, ever, never find a gr….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What is this idea that we need a permission slip from the Senate and then from the Congress in order to pass this tax? As I said, follow the money.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There are more than one manufacturer of weapons and ammunition that is used in said weapons that are deciding they’re going to leave the states that are persecuting their industry. I would say they are persecuting people that, for the most part, by and large, are law abiding. They’re not running around willy-nilly shooting people just because they have weapons. They’re not running around flashing their weapons out in the str….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)
