Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Gun purchases have more than doubled in the United States since 2009, people are literally buying guns and ammo like it's going out of style.

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

What a Constitution Can and Can't Do

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There's an article at The Imaginative Conservative by Bruce Frohnen entitled "What the Constitution Can, and Can't, Do". The purpose of a Constitution is not to bequeath rights to people or establish some social order protected by government. We do have a Bill of Rights that says that people that reside within the states reserve the right to regulate a militia and establish their own church... which wo….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If you’re going to have any chance for survival, you’re going to have to have some foundational things that everyone can agree on and you can build societies and civilizations around, that there’s no disagreement on, or very little disagreement on. Therefore you have a nucleus around which to rally. What is that nucleus today, Twitter? Facebook? What’s the nucleus, the latest immorality of th….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’re talking about civilizing young men and how we are anti-civilizational now by our own actions. What kind of society could possibly survive when it is careening towards becoming like the animal kingdom? We have order and we have families, and we have these things because time has shown us and has shown man that these things are necessary to survive, and they are necessary certainly to organize or….Continue

American Exceptionalism Is Not A Compliment

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is a very dangerous thing that we have done. We are flirting with disaster. We are flirting with human misery. We are not the exception to the rule of human nature, sir. We are humans. We are fallible. Human nature does not change over continents. In our arrogance and saying things like you just said, we make ourselves “We’re the exception. We would never rain that kind of tyranny.” S….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’re not a free people anymore. When we’re told to stop, we stop. Think about this. No, I’m not trying to get into the philosophical weeds. Who told you that you have to stop at a red light and that you must go on green? You may think that’s ridiculous. Think about it. Who told you that? We’ve normalized the stop and go. We’ve normalized it to the point where we have accepted that o….Continue

We're All Slaves To Government And Politics

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Politics is practiced by and among men. It is what we use to perfect the human condition. It is the tool that we believe, here in the 21st century, that we have at our disposal that can correct all the bad programming that God put into us. We can fix all of that bad programming. We can get all the things aligned that ought to be aligned if we just practice prudent politics. Check out today's transcript f….Continue

Great Government Does Not Make Virtuous People

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On today's Founders TV Mike takes on the theory that "Great Government Makes Virtuous People". We know that, in reality, many of the people involved in government are some of the most corrupt in the country, so why would implementing "good policy" suddenly make everyone in the country good people, when the ones actually writing the laws ARE NOT!? Also on today's Founders TV Mike goes over the Alex Jones….Continue

You Cannot Fix Government But You Can TRY and Take Its Power Away

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

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Politics and civics are not the same thing. Voting is a political act. You’re making a decision, choosing one politician over the other. You’re not choosing a roommate. Civics is the actual activity of practicing what we call [r]epublicanism, which is why we preach republicanism here; republicanism does not require politicians. This is where everyone is so damn confused on this: republicanism requires fewer politicians and many ….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - As I say at the outset, in the first chapter of What Lincoln Killed: Episode I, there are two types of Americans: Jeffersonians and Lincolnians. About 95, 97 percent of the population are Lincolnians. They are empiricists. They believe in the power of the almighty federal government. They subject themselves to it. They have been subjugated by it and they have come to peace and made their terms with it.….Continue

Founders Were Just As Unhappy With Gubbmint As We Are

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Don’t feed me this crap that we’re the first generation and we have it worse than anyone else.  I guarantee you that those that lived to the 1820’s that were of the founding generation, many of them if not almost all of them went to their graves believing that the end was near, that they had totally screwed up and botched it, and that their countrymen that came after them were going to blow it, that there wasn’t going to be much….Continue

MANDEVILLE, LA - EXCLUSIVE AUDIO - If NASA was a sign of our greatness, we would've A) we would have bases on other planets and would be exploring the galaxy by now and B) we would've found a way to pay for it.  Government funded programs should not be the measuring stick by how we judge our country. The people that do the work, that invented the parts necessary to make it to the Moon, the individual, is what makes this country great.  Listen to….Continue

Birzer and St Augustine on Kingdoms, Thieves, and Governments

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Approximately 1600 years ago, St Augustine knew better than to trust the government, calling them nothing more than a gang of thieves and robbers. And what have we learned in the time since then? Nothing, we trust them implicitly, we cash government checks, and we look up to them as if THEY are Saints. In these times we are in a dark tunnel and the light of liberty at the end is fading fast, but remember to let the lamp of experience gui….Continue
