Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - You see and hear it every day on this show when people call me up and argue with me about incorporation and deny the history. It has to do with this idea that the United States Constitution was sent by God, that it was carried down from Mt. Sinai, which was Independence Hall, carved on stone tablets, and we’re all sworn a perpetual and never-ending oath to uphold and worship it. It was a document, ladies and gentlemen, written by mor….Continue

Let's Hang the Nullifiers! - Senator Gaetz of Florida

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - It sounds like the people of Florida have the right idea... nullifying ObamaCare, but their Senator does not. He brings up a story about Andrew Jackson which includes hanging and shooting the nullifiers. Is that really what it's come to Mr. Gaetz? People who want less government in their lives are being talked about like criminals who should be hanged? It's not looking like a very good year for the 10th Amendment in Florida. Check….Continue

  Memorial Day: A Lot More Than Hot Dogs & The D-Day Museum ©2012 Mike Church Most folks think of Memorial Day as the day that kicks off summer or the day that the great-American-hot dog notches its first outdoor cooking of the year. For those that commemorate the holiday with solemn remembrances of Our war-dead this is mostly confined to wars of the last 75 years: WW II, Korea, Vietnam and most recently Iraq & Afghanistan. While these wars certainly deserve thei….Continue

On Monday the battle ships from 6 countries sailed down the MS to the Gulf of Mexico from whence they came to the sound of tolling church bells.

[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"
