James Madison In War Power Smackdown to NeoCons – The Helvidius Letters

James Madison Had True Patriotism, Not Like The Phony Patriotism Our Elected Officials Claim Today

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Think about this for just a moment.

The American Injustice System And Edward Snowden – Guilty Until Proven Innocent

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I thought we had a justice system in this country. I thought you were innocent until you were proven guilty. This is just another one of these outgrowths of this maniacal, I think, it has become a psychosis of sorts, of this my country right or wrong. Really? Your country right or wrong? Your country before the philosophical or foundational tenets of why you […]

Catholic University Presidents Should Listen To John F. Kennedy And Keep Religion Out Of Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is one of the great speeches ever recorded. This is how Kennedy dealt with this.

Why would any DA even take this case?” […]

James Madison On Taxes And Immigration

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I just found it really fortuitous that I stumbled upon this letter while watching the Snowden clip about the nobility of the federal government and that’s what it was that drew Edward Snowden to it, then tying the whole immigration part of this letter to our current pickle over said immigration, being able to then see that back in 1794, 1795, 1796, just years […]
