Mandeville, LA – Mike Church’s daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the latest [r]epublican news, reading selections and Mike’s take on the latest from Edward Snowden that “not all spying is bad”. Read along with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “Our true situation appears to me to be this—a new extensive Country, containing within itself the materials for forming a Government capable of extending to its citizens all the blessings of civil and religious liberty—capable of making them happy at home. This is the great end of Republican Establishments. We mistake the object of our Government, if we hope or wish that it is to make us respectable abroad. Conquest or superiority among other powers is not or ought not ever to be the object of republican systems. If they are sufficiently active and energetic to rescue us from contempt and preserve our domestic happiness and security, it is all we can expect from them—it is more than almost any other Government ensures to its citizens.“ –  Charles Pinckney, SC Delegate to the Federal Convention of 1787, In convention

My Tuesday Video commentary was not based on Richard Sherman’s altercation post-final play with Michael Crabtree so this video that appears to show Sherman attempting to wish Crabtree “…good game” has no bearing on what followed

Spyin’ Eyes: In an online chat session Edward Snowden shows he is no anarchist nut job hell bent on a libertarian society free from all rules and government.

Tiny Tim Geithner  threatened S&P in 2011 over its decision to downgrade U.S. debt securities.  “The government will respond” Geithner is alleged to have said as a lawsuit over the matter is now in full swing.

41 years after the dastardly, dirty deed was done, that most injurious of all judicial usurpations, Roe v Wade, was settled and babies have been at risk with 50 million of them being murdered “legally” ever since. The annual March For Life went on despite the bitter cold as pro-life citizens rallied to demand the genocide stop

Wendy Davis- American Hero and American liar of the usual highest order in our political affairs (she’s no Baron von Steuben)

New York Governor Cuomo will not back off his banishment of “extreme conservatives” as the offenses that suggest, as Jefferson did after the MO Compromise that the “the knell of the union” is near continue to mount. Cuomo’s counsel responds “The Governor was making the point that he makes often: New York is a politically moderate state and an extremist agenda is not politically viable statewide.”

The man Seahawks fans call “a gentleman’s gentleman” viz Richard Sherman, holds press conference and violates all 10 of the applicable laws of polite, courteous behavior I posted yesterday from the 1860 Gentleman’s Manners & Politeness Guide.

Last Train to Brokesville: Secretary Jack Lew warns that a failure to tie a debt millstone around the next generation of Americans-he calls it raising the debt ceiling-will result in horrors like government bureaucrats having to pursue productive as opposed to parasitical occupations, Wall Street “investors” having to actually ply their alchemy with real money and real sound investments- are you scared yet?

Nomocracy in Politics: The Second Amendment was meant as insurance against the General Government trying to disarm the militias of the States and the recent spate of “pro second amendment” rulings from the SCOTUS are wrong and when Chief Justice Sotomayor gets her chance, the “incorporation” of the BOR, #2 included, will backfire on  its current boosters

One writer from the Huffington Post wants us to know that Richard Sherman is really, really a great guy if we would just take the time to get to know him. I don’t know if that is true or not but I do know that Sherman won’t win any Manners or decorum awards anytime soon (could be called sportsmanship) doesn’t that count for something anymore, here is my Video response

Has Mike Huckabee given Republicans a new “war” to fight, they love fighting wars, as in “we will fight this war to declare we do not have a war on-against women”?
