The State That Booed The Golden Rule Again Chooses Mark Sanford

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.

The Extinction Of The American Male

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’ve all bemoaned the fact that there seem to be fewer and fewer young gentlemen out there. We’ve all bemoaned the fact that the clowns that are in movies like Hangover are not the exception in our day and age, they’re the rule. There are fewer and fewer young men that you see out there that you want to say: That’s a fine young man. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Boys Need To Be Taught How To Be Good Men

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is important stuff because this is the kind of instruction that young men are not getting today, and if they are getting it, they’re not getting it in high enough quantities or not getting it in a repetitive manner. They’re learning all kinds of things about recycling. They’re learning all kinds of things about homosexuality. They’re learning all kinds of things about animal rights and gl….Continue

Earl of Chesterfield: Letters to His Son

Topics: , , ,

Mandeville, LA -For the last 100 years or so, men have ceded their masculine powers both physical and mental to women who are, truth be told, are biologically inferior in both conditions when it comes to raising and grooming the next generation of Gentleman/Statesman. Please note that the preceding does not preclude a strong and necessary female role in young men's lives, quite the contrary, it merely reassigns the roles as they were traditionall….Continue

Patrick Henry - Statesman And Christian Gentleman

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – My interest is always piqued with people’s fascination with Henry. Their fascination with him just comes from one speech, the “Give me liberty or give me death” speech. The “Give me liberty or give me death” speech is a great speech, but there’s no transcript of this. No one ever wrote this thing down. He spoke, in what we would call today, extemporaneously. He didn’t have any notes. He didn’t have a script. He….Continue

Happy Birthday John C. Calhoun!

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - John C. Calhoun was born on this day in the state of South Carolina. He was an achieved and accomplished man and, politically, they would be the envy of men today. He was not only a statesman but he was also a great political thinker, which there were several around that time, but what separated him was his virtuous behavior and his Christian Gentleman-like attitude. Russell Kirk writes about this in h….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I take great comfort in knowing, too, that during this week when you and I are reminiscing and recalling what part of the ten years you may recall, the good times and memories, and of course the bad, we should have heated conversations. That’s what we do here on this show. We do not swim with the sharks. We have our own stream that we swim in. That’s why we unplug the matrix cable out of the back of our heads.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Here it is, “U.S. Steps Up Aid to Syria, Pledging $60 Million.” This is insanity, absolutely insane. It is incomprehensible, just like the big news last night. John “Rambo” Kerry on one of his first missions overseas, what’s he doing? He’s getting the old company checkbook out and writing a $250 million check that you and I have to cover so that Egypt can have some foreign aid. Check out today’s transcript for the ….Continue

Money Is Not The Purpose Of Life, The Transcendent Is The Purpose

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Money is not transcendent. I’m not so naïve to think you don’t need it and some manner of wealth in order to survive, or in some instances in order to share it with those who may be temporarily or permanently less fortunate, is a good thing. Without that Transcendent there, all these things that are based solely in dollar signs and dollar amounts are fleeting. They don’t last. Such is our government. Check out today’s t….Continue

Cicero And The Romans Foreshadow The Fate Of The United States

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

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You want to tell me that ancient history and Roman and Greek history is not worth studying, I defy you. He is describing conditions that existed around 50, 60 BC, somewhere around there. He is describing conditions which existed in ancient Rome as they lost their way and stopped being republicans and became Empiricists. The exact same thing has happened here today.

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - This is a controversy that happened yesterday between Senator Hagel, Senator Inhofe, Senator Cruz and I think Senator McCain is involved or maybe Senator Nelson at some point. This is over the nomination of Senator Hagel to be Secretary of Defense. If you haven’t heard this, it’s quite acrimonious. You’re going to hear one senator accusing another of some manner of un-gentleman-like behavior. Check out today's transcript for th….Continue

Mike Schools The Children On Accuracy And Being Gentlemen

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I’m sitting there and I’m in a very not-wealthy section of the City of New Orleans, similar to ones I’m sure you can find around where you live. I’m moved by the fact that there are these beautiful children here who someone along the way decided not to abort. I guarantee you there were economic circumstances that many of those children were born under that would suggest, especially if you’re listening to East Coast libs, that….Continue

Government And Media Corruption Is A Symptom Of Our Moral Decay

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

Getting Men Back as Household Leaders is the MOST Important Thing

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We used to have men of arts and letters and that’s what they were known for. Today we have demagogues that yell and scream and holler and hurl names and insist we look at the world through that sort of a jaded lens, that there is only right and wrong in the human realm, that there doesn’t seem to be a right and wrong that’s attached to a godly realm, that natural law somehow just came here and does not answer to supernatural law -….Continue

TradCons Get Butts Kicked... Should Go On The Offensive

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I think this is probably the valid question these days: What would a healthy conservatism look for? We’ve been fighting from a defensive posture for over 50 years now. You’ve got to get on the offense here, which is why nullification, interposition, secession, hold-out and the kind of people that are going to practice republicanism who would do nullification and interposition, or would consider rethinking the union, are going to ne….Continue

Honey Boo Boo Nation Undermines Gentlemanly Society To Our Detriment

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - The never-ending quest that we seem to be embarked on for equality is antithetical or anti-nature at its core. There is no equality. This holy grail that we seem to be possessed of, that everyone likes to run around and prattle on about their rights and “We’ve got to have equality.” Why? Nature is not in balance, it never is. Nature is always out of balance. The difference between the night and the day, as the old a….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.
