Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Angelo Codevilla had written about how the elites, whether they’re Democrats or Republicans, pretty much all go to the same schools, live in or near the same cities, attend the same parties, go to the same functions. Most of these functions and events we’re describing here and talking about are not attended by people like us, people that might go to a Tea Party rally or may go to a republican ReFounding Father Society meeting or….Continue

The Conservative Brand And True Conservatism Are Two Very Different Things

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I would like to draw the distinction between what basically today is entertainment that is labeled and branded as intellectual thought. It’s not intellectual thought. It is entertainment that may be amenable and may appeal to people who believe themselves to be conservative, but it is not an intellectual and well thought out and principled conservatism, not of the order of the Russell Kirks and this gentleman I was reading, of th….Continue

Can Libertarianism And Republicanism Co-Exist?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – According to Politico, the libertarian brand of Republicanism is making inroads and a big comeback. I will tell you that certainly when it comes to young people, the youth, they tend to be more libertarian. There’s a problem with that. Young people age. As they age, they tend to become a little less libertine or libertarian. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – While it is always ill-advised and inadvisable to cheat on your wife, violate your oath, lie, do other forms of cheating, steal, whatever the case may be, we cannot deny that there is available to us mercy. Without mercy, the human condition would cease to exist as any manner or form of an organized society, because once you’ve sinned, you’re kicked out.

History Proves A War Hawk Foreign Policy Leads To Moral Devolution Of Society

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I view the foreign policy debate not as an emotional thing and as a victory that I’d like to see a party carry. That’s an historical thing to me. It is informed by the history. The history says that these are horrifically dangerous precedents to set. Free people, if they really cherish their liberties, they don’t have and they don’t want a standing army. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why can’t Republicans, why can’t war hawks, admit the exact same thing? Your devotion to a warlike way of life does nothing more than create more warlike situations. We are in a perpetual warlike situation. By your own admission, we’re not safe. Hell, we’ve spent more money in the last ten years than we’ve spent in almost all years combined as a union, and yet you keep telling us that we’re more threatened and more in….Continue

Conservative Is Just A Brand...And It's Definitely Not Libertarian

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Conservatism has very little to do with politics. As a matter of fact, the natural conservative inclination is to not get involved in politics because of its corrupting influences. The conservative instinct is to always try and prevent most things from becoming part of the political process. That ought to be the natural position of the conservative, that the things we want to preserve we want to preserve through divinity. We want….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - This goes out to you people out there that agitate this and promote this, and you do so on a daily basis, if not hour by hour. [mocking] “We gotta take the party back. We gotta kick these RINOs out.” As I have been trying to preach to what I hope is an expanding choir out there, that is another fool’s err. Carey explains it in writing in a manner in which I think is congruent with the way we’ve been talking about it. It’s ….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Think about it, our federal government we complain mightily about, our state governments we complain mightily about, they are the largest public display of what we do together.  No longer are the acts of what we do together the acts of peace, human felicity and what have you.  Now they are the acts of abject corruption.  They are demonstrated and seen and shown in our legislatures.  Is that a symptom of legislative system or is that….Continue

"National Greatness Conservatism" No Link to GOP

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Conservatism’s advance or conservatism’s defense and then advance should not be predicated upon its marriage to a political party. The political party ought to be courting us. We should not be courting the political party. That equation is backwards. We’re the leaders that if the party wants to use our brain trust, if they’re smart and want to organize and retool what it is they do, they need to come to us. We don’t need t….Continue

Mike Reads Eric Voegelin

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - So I’ve turned to reading some older conservative authors. One of them is a gentleman by the name of Eric Voegelin. Voegelin was a mentor to Russell Kirk. I think that in Voegelin’s book Science, Politics and Gnosticism, which is a really small book, at one part of it he identifies what is really at work here. This has to be transcribed because you have to read this. It’s posted as a com….Continue

TAC's Larison: The Romney knock on Obama & Libya relies on Romney's SUPPORT for Obama's impeachable acts that set the whole chain of events off (thanks Daniel, I concur, precisely) Now they get it! NRO editors realize that their hero-GW Bush-was an AWFUL PRESIDENT and Romney needs to stop sounding like a plea fro Bush's 3rd term While I agree the Obama Admins closeness to radical Islam is cause for alarm, I wonder why The Blaze and other found no evil intent when Bush 43 h….Continue

Changes in the constitution ought not be lightly made; but when corruption has long infected the legislative, and executive powers: when these pervert the liberties of the people; if THEY tamely submit to such misgovernment, we may fairly conclude, the bulk of that people to be ripe for slavery.
