James Madison Identifies a Monster, Called The Federal government
Mandeville, LA - James Madison wrote to Thomas Jefferson about the newly passed Alien & Sedition Acts. "May 20, 1798, Dear Sir, The Alien bill proposed in the Senate is a monster that must forever disgrace its parents. I should not have supposed it possible that such an one could have been engendered in either House, & still persuade myself, that it cannot possibly be fathered by both. It is truly to be deplored that a standing army should be let in upon us by the abs….Continue
Law & Order - Too Many Laws, Not Enough Order
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – When James Madison was writing Federalist Paper No. 62, I think, something like that, when he was writing that particular Federalist Paper and he was pining away from a check on the excesses of the state legislatures -- he wanted a veto on the acts of the states -- the reason he gave was that you had to have some kind of a board of revision that could look at laws that were injurious to liberty and could repeal them. If law became t….Continue
Rep. Tom Cotton Wants An American War With Syria
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why are members of the war party out there stumping for war in Syria? This is just perplexing and it’s so damn frustrating. I have this member of Congress, Tom Cotton, who is on Meet the Half-Court Press yesterday. “The United States should arm opposition fighters in Syria and create a no-fly zone over the war-torn nation,” Representative Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on NBC’s Meet the Press. What interest do the people of Arkan….Continue
Sales Taxes Go Way Back...And They're Always A Bad Idea
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – “Sales Tax: History of a Dumb Idea” by Mason Gaffney, this is part of my post. I found this wonderful essay written by Mr. Gaffney in Insights Magazine back in 2005 about sales taxes. He writes about the history of the sales tax. It goes way, way back, farther than you can ever imagine. Check out today’s audio and transcript for the rest…….Continue

Interview With Kevin Gutzman On George Washington
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I mentioned earlier that today is the anniversary of George Washington’s first inauguration in New York City. It was a very festive occasion. According to some that witnessed the event, it was also an event that was met with an awful lot of trepidation and dis-certitude. People didn’t know what was going to become of this new government they created. Here to fill us in a little bit about the greatness is Professor Dr. Kevin G….Continue

The Daily Caller Calls Ron Paul's Peace Institute Board Members "Radicals"
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This hit piece, and that’s what this is, on the foreign policy initiative, or the Institute for Peace that Ron Paul has launched last week is just another one of these thinly-veiled attempts to kneecap anything that does not go along with the standard company line. Check out today’s audio and transcript for the rest…….Continue
Restoring The Constitution Can't Happen With The Amoral, Atheistic Nitwittery
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I have told you on about a billion and a half occasions, all you can really do is control yourself and what is in your community, or attempt to control what’s in your community, and more specifically in your own local sphere. That means your family, close family, immediate friends and relatives. You can’t possibly hope to effect and cause worldwide change because you desire it and because you think that Jefferson and Henry and ….Continue
Factions? James Madison Would Say They Are The End of Liberty
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, there are FACTIONS colluding to push through bills on immigration reform, tax reform, and reforming reforms. What would James Madison say? Well, he'd say that if you've got factions working within you're government... YOU'RE DONE. He understood that the nation would get bigger, more states would be added, but he thought that they would stay to themselves, in their own little hamlets. And t….Continue
Constitutional Traitors In The Senate, Big Surprise
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I want to repeat, there are three instances under which the militia would fall under the control of the Congress, and then only to write rules for how they should be disciplined. The three instances are: there is a declaration of war, the country or a state has been invaded by a foreign warring force, or there has been a rebellion in one of the states and the governor or the legislature of that state has asked for help in putting it….Continue
James Madison Veto Of The "Bonus Bill" Shows Interstate Highways Are NOT Constitutional
With "Conservatives" and their corrupt "think tanks" now fully backing the wasteful and unconstitutional spending on "interstate highway projects" who is left to defend the molecules of the Constitution that remain in effect? Well, we can summon the pen of Constitutional author, ratifier and President under, James Madison and his -SHOULD BE FAMOUS-veto of Henry Clay's "bonus Bill" in 1817.….Continue
Don't Be Surprised When Politicians Act Like...Politicians
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is what you get when you don’t study history and when we think we’re just us and there was no history that came before us because we’re so arrogant and conceited. You do know that it was members of the Roman Senate, senators, that killed Julius Caesar, or at least assisted in it. You do know that a politician, a vice president and a governor of New York by the name of Aaron Burr did, as a politician, shoot Alexander Hami….Continue
Can Libertarianism And Republicanism Co-Exist?
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
British Tories and Conservatives Today, Burkes of a Feather?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Be sure and check out today's Founders TV as Mike compares and contrasts British Tories (who are probably not as evil as you think from "1776, Revolution, killing Americans" time) to modern day conservatives. We also go over what conservatives in the 1950s should have been studying: William F Buckley or go back to the teachings of Edmund Burke? Many Conservative Americans of the time didn't feel like they were descended from an Engl….Continue
Interview with Kevin Gutzman: Is Establishing a Religion Constitutional?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - North Carolina has a bill that, in one of it's clauses, tells the Federal Government that the state CAN establish it's own religion. But is this Constitutional? There's a lot of lawyers saying it isn't, but they're quoting many long dead judges who have mis-interpreted the Constitution over the years. Professor Gutzman says that it is Constiutional... but is it the right thing to do? James Madison said that church and state should s….Continue
What a Constitution Can and Can't Do
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
