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
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
Patrick Henry Takes "Fairness" Internet Sales Tax Pushers To The Constitutional Woodshed
Those who so loudly cheer for the misery of sales taxes to be equally applied instead of universally reviled, richly deserve the fate they are about to earn. The tragedy is there will be much collateral damage and what pray tell is "fair" about that?….Continue
How President John Quincy Adams Nearly Drowned In Tiber Creek
Mandeville, LA - After discovering that there is a creek that used to flow, almost as mightily as the nearby Potomac River, IN Washington DC but is now paved over by the edifices of government, namely the IRS building, I was intrigued. I became especially curious upon learning that the Tiber Creek nearly claimed the life of then President John Quincy Adams. According to White House historian and essayist William Seale, Quincy Adams' morning ended thus: "The president lay gaspi….Continue
Happy Secession Day, Virginia!
Read the Virginia Secession Petition and Access Project '76 Audio below Mandeville, LA - In the process of ratifying the U.S. Constitution, the most celebrated, lengthy and heated debate was held in the Virginia Convention which convened on 4 June, 1788 in the old State House in Richmond. Seeing that there would not be enough room to accommodate the 187 delegates and thousands of interested citizens, the convention moved to the Academy of Arts ….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
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

George Washington - His Farewell Address & Foreign Policy
George Washington - Farewell Address 1796 Friends and Citizens: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolutio….Continue
Founding Fathers on War: Madison to Jefferson Letter of 1798
After watching Senator Paul's speech and becoming intrigued by the Madison line I began searching for the source which his notes did not provide. In my search I encountered dozens of articles citing the line, most attributed to Senator Paul. After a thorough search using google I could not locate the passage in question.….Continue

Definition of [r]epublicanism From Thomas Jefferson Letter to John Taylor of Caroline
Mandeville, LA - By Mike Church -"We are all [r]epublicans now." This is the Newsweek Magazine cover I hope to see someday but first we will need to educate many millions on just what [r]epublicanism is, why their Founding Parents said it was the best form of government and how they defined it. In this letter to John Taylor, Thomas Jefferson explains [r]epublicanism as he understands and promotes it. It is also enjoyable to read Jefferson's delight in Taylor's "pulverizing" ….Continue
The Founders Knew The Constitution Needed Amending in 1801
Founder, Edmund Pendleton’s theme is one that is as relevant today as it was after the Adams Administration: the government can be only as pure and respectful of liberty as the constituent parts - the politicians - are imbued with virtue, the constitution notwithstanding.….Continue
