This Day In Founding Fathers History - 16 May 2013
This Day in Founding Fathers History - Where we bring you important dates in the lives and history of the Founding Generation. On this day in 1775, the citizens of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania met at Hanna’s Town in convention to form an association. “Resolved unanimously, That there is no reason to doubt that the same system of tyranny and oppression will be extended to every other part of America: It is therefore become the indispensable duty of every American, of e….Continue
Kansas Secretary Of State Kobach Takes Eric Holder To School On The Constitution
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Secretary of State in Kansas, Kris Kobach, has made a statement on Attorney General Eric Holder’s letter written to Sam Brownback about Kansas’s Second Amendment Protection Act, SB 102. This is a great lesson in constitutionality, kiddies. Pull up a chair, warm your hands around the campfire, and lend an ear. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Kansas Nullifies Gun Law As Eric Holder Threatens With Supremacy Clause
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – To read this letter here is just to read the most laughable interpretation of the federal constitution -- I say laughable in 18th century terms. Of course today people think that what Eric Holder wrote, [mocking] “Yeah, he can do that.” You have guys like Bill O’Reilly running around who will cite the supremacy clause for the silliest things and not even question it. You should question it. The Feds are not supreme and you ….Continue
Massachusetts Has Been Divided Since Before Shays' Rebellion
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I always look for historical angles to talk about these things that we discuss here on the program. I was wondering if all the people of all of Taxachusetts were as blindly and meekly following the orders of their state and city overlords on Friday. Would that translate to the rest of the state? Massachusetts does have a western part as well. Is there any historical precedent for this? It turns out that there is. Check out toda….Continue
Why Aren't More People Questioning Authority?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is an impressive rollout of State security force here. Again, I don’t know under what authority the governor is acting. I don’t know if he’s acting under any authority whatsoever. Is there an executive order? AG, have you seen any posts of an executive order from the governor or is he just going to television microphones and barking out orders over CBS? Check out today’s transcript for ….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
New Hampshire's New Slogan: Live Marginally Tyrannized But Healthy
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You can live free, but you’re not going to be able to die with a weapon in your hand according to Senator Ayotte. You can have a slingshot. You can have a peashooter, a .22 personal revolver that will fit in the watch pocket of your front pants, but we’re not giving you anything that you can defend against a government out of control or against the forces of an invading government out of control, which was the purpose of the Se….Continue
This Day In Founding Fathers History - 8 April 2013
This Day in Founding Founders History - Where we bring you important dates in the lives and history of the Founding Generation. One notable birthday on this day in 1726, that of Lewis Morris, half-brother of Gouverneur Morris.….Continue
Militias Are Good And They Are Good For You Too - Parts I and II
Mandeville, LA - The latest in our Project '76 collection is the must listen to, 2nd Amendment hit of the millennia. Writer/Director/Narrator Mike Church takes you on an exciting, audio journey back to 1788 to hear the great Patrick Henry launch his opposition to ratifying the U.S. Constitution and his primary concern for doing so was... he feared the new government would abolish the militia and then the right to bear arms outside of a standing army.….Continue
Maryland's Second Amendment Battle
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let me be clear. I am not a proponent of and I think it’s heinous that the State of Maryland would ban or try to interfere with its citizens protecting themselves outside of their homes by carrying their weapons with them. Here in Louisiana, your automobile is an extension of your home. If you want to bring your weapon with you and you’re carrying it in your car, you’re basically carrying it in ….Continue
Kevin Gutzman Interview: Madison, Bill of Rights, Nullification And Second Amendment
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Professor Dr. Kevin Gutzman is on the Dude Maker Hotline, celebrating ten years of your buddy being here on Sirius XM satellite radio airwaves. I don’t know if you knew that. This week is our anniversary. Tomorrow is James Madison’s birthday as well. We have a two-fold purpose. Plus James Madison and the Making of America is out in paperback. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Marco Rubio And His Neocon Buddies Need To Go Back And Study History
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – “The idea is America and it still works,” what idea? A proper noun is not an idea. Folks, this is where these American exceptionalists should lose the intellectual thinker, the critical thinker, the person that actually reads, the person that actually contemplates, the person that actually considers, the person who is actually humble, the person who actually believes that history is an ongoing process and the history that is pa….Continue

If You Don't Like Perpetual War, You're A Little Wimp
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why can’t Republicans, why can’t war hawks, admit the exact same thing? Your devotion to a warlike way of life does nothing more than create more warlike situations. We are in a perpetual warlike situation. By your own admission, we’re not safe. Hell, we’ve spent more money in the last ten years than we’ve spent in almost all years combined as a union, and yet you keep telling us that we’re more threatened and more in….Continue
American Citizens Can't Bear Military Arms, But The Syrians Are Being Given American Military Arms
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
Second Amendment Is About Arms and Militias Not Weapons
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why do you think the Constitution goes into such detail? Why did the Virginians spend almost a week debating the militia clause in their convention to ratify? They were terrified of the consequences of disarming the militia, meaning making the militia not an army; making them a bunch of skeet shooters. That’s not a militia. That’s an invitation to get invaded and killed. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
What Would George Mason Say About The Pentagon?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Since I am failing in the meager task which was my charge, I’m going to resort to an actual founding father. I know they lived in the 18th century. I know there wasn’t internet. I know there weren’t airplanes. I know there weren’t any Muslims in the world (right). I know we had no enemies. I know all these things. I do not believe their wisdom is to be dismissed so frivolously and I would ….Continue
Militias And The Second Amendment
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – When the U.S. Constitution was being debated in Philadelphia, the question of the militia and who would control it came up. It was pretty much universally agreed that the only time Congress would control the militia is if they actually had to call them into service and make them part of a continental army, make them part of the forces of The United States, not of A United State. See the difference? Th….Continue
Militias Are The First Responsibility Of Citizens
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The ultimate responsibility of the citizen is to protect his property and, by extension, to protect property of those that surround him in his sovereign state, wherever his geography may be. That’s why you are a citizen and why you swear allegiance to a geographic or sovereign state. That’s the purpose of being a citizen. It’s not to buy things. It’s not to show up here or there. It is to be the first line of defense. What ….Continue
A Sovereign State Is Its People, Not Its Government
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - A state is a collection of sovereign people. A state is not -- you live in Philadelphia. When your legislature or assembly meets in Harrisburg, that is not the state. That is the elected representatives of the state. The state is the people. The people are the sovereign. The only other way this works is when the king is the sovereign. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue

I saw in State Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy.
