Imagination Is What's Needed To Unplug From The State

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I would suggest to you that there are few people out there who could imagine what life would actually be like if you actually had to take care of ourselves, if we had to actually run and mind our own business and our own community, if we were actually forced, because of the conditions we have foisted on ourselves, to do all these things for let’s say one-third the cost that we’re currently doing them at. That’s an imagination ….Continue

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The State comes at this from the position that their priority and their preference supersedes or exceeds that of the parent. Could it not be said that if parents had the ability to keep their children out of all manner of public building where there are public events going on, especially if they’re well-guarded in their home or their environment, that they have then taken measures to deal with their safety?

Princeton Mom's Advice To Princeton Women - Find Yourselves A Husband

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As a matter of fact, I can probably just say I think that’s a good idea for my daughters, the Church daughters, to find a husband, get married, have children and stay at home. “You want to deprive them of a life really lived.” Oh, so a life really lived doesn’t include rearing the next generation of people to live lives really lived? Really, seriously? Wow, I’d love to have that debate in a public forum somewhere. Why ….Continue

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – It just makes me think this whole right vs. left, liberal vs. conservative, this whole thing is an enormous game. It’s been played by men who have benefited so mightily from it that they can’t even count their riches. The hoi polloi has fallen for this hook, line and sinker. I just got an email from a Tea Party group, “Those liberals are at it again.” Let me tell you something. Liberals have been at it since the dawn of ….Continue

The Student Loan Bubble Is Not What Jefferson Had In Mind

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The largest bubble right now, the bubble that is about to burst and is bursting right now is the student loan bubble. There are almost $1 trillion worth of outstanding student loans right now. All that money was guaranteed by you and me, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, and was transferred into where? It came from the federal government and transferred into the coffers of the same universities we’re talking about. Check out today’s tra….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – LeBron never went to college. I would also ask the question: Who benefits by forcing some of these young people to go to college? If you listen to this show, you know an awful lot about what is not taught at universities, which is classical liberal education, most universities anyway. What is the benefit from sending them to the school to start with? If they’re professing that they want to pursue a….Continue

Truancy Law: Making Your Children Property of The State

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Why would you need a truancy law if going to school was the responsibility of the Parents? Can't the parents decide if their children can go to school without worrying about being fined? Well, when the state controls the school and the state decides that children must go to school because their public schools are the GREATEST THING EVER CREATED, then the truancy law "makes sense". But the education of our children ultimately lies wi….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Because organized religion still exists today. It’s called government. It’s called State Legislature of Louisiana. It is called Congress. It’s called the Senate. Most people treat the Supreme Court as if it is a deity, as if it has god-like powers. Not only does it have them, it ought to discharge them, ought to use them.

By the same token, here in Louisiana, I am compelled to pay property tax, sales taxes, all manner of taxes on all manner of products, gasoline taxes, lottery taxes, all these taxes that amount to about $13,000 per year per pupil if you actually send your kids to a public school.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There’s something to be said about parenting, believe it or not. James Madison was a child prodigy, that may be true, but in his formative years he was homeschooled. He was taught at home.

Instead Of Learning From History, Today's Youth Is Erasing It

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The bad of it is that they’re rejecting all of recorded history. They’re saying the people that came before them were a bunch of racist, hick hayseeds that aren’t worth our consideration. We need to cleanse the history books of them and learn from them because they were wrong. In other words, our foreparents aren’t to be admired; they’re to be relegated to the ashbin of history. This is a point of view that is very dang….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – How is it that 60 percent of the imbeciles out there believe that if some alabaster-clad, marble-pillared building in Washington would just spend more of other people’s money on other people’s children’s education that all would turn out right with the world? Sixty percent of the nitwittery out there thinks the national legislature should spend more money on education. I just have to ask the question: Why? Check out today’….Continue

TV Networks Are In It For Profits, Not Educating Your Children

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I am not of the opinion that television networks exist for any purpose other than taking the capital that was invested therein and returning it with a profit or dividend to those that invested. That is my understanding of why there are television networks. There may be television networks that purport to help you raise your children by providing wholesome family education and giving them access to the kind of programming that you c….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)
