Patrick Henry - Patriot, Pontificator And Bibliophile
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Hayes actually went to Red Hill, which is where Henry lived and died, and asked permission of the family and the curator of the family estate and found Henry’s own diaries and the logs that Patrick Henry used to catalog his possessions. Back in those days, if you had books, books were like -- what would you compare a book to today? A book was a prized possession. They were very difficult to make. Usually what would happen is so….Continue

The Story of Patrick Henry, Josiah Phillips & Constitutional Due Process
*Complete text of Governor Randolph's and Patrick Henry's speeches after transcript... Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I want to go to the saga of Josiah Philips really quick. This helps shed a little light on what the framers of the Constitution and the ratifiers may have been thinking when they ratified the document. This is Edmund Randolph speaking at the Virginia Ratifying Convention. Check out today’s transcript for the rest… Begin Mike Church….Continue
This Day In Founding Fathers History - 1 March 2013
This Day In Founding Fathers History – 1 March 2013 On this day in 1781, the Articles of Confederation were ratified by Maryland, the final of the thirteen states to ratify. “The ratification of the Articles of Confederation was delayed for two years by Maryland, who refused to ratify until the larger states—primarily Virginia and New York—had ceded their extensive land claims in the West to the national government. Virginia countered with the accusation that Maryland….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
Sovereign Citizens And Article V Amendment Convention
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The fact that we’re having this conversation demonstrates yet again that the Constitution is not the work of a God; it’s the work of fallible men. They did not and could not have possibly foreseen all the damage and usurpations that would be visited upon the compact by designing men. You have to perceive these things. Their attitude was correct. You have to go into the proceedings and legislative sessions or conventions with the ….Continue
The NRA And Incorporationistas
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - For some reason, it has just been seared into the mind of the average American gun owner out there. It doesn’t matter what the facts are and it doesn’t matter what the Constitution as ratified and the Bill of Rights, as you call it, as ratified said. It doesn’t even matter what the first 130 years of life under that amendment, what that intent was and how that intent was honored. That doesn’t even….Continue
Sheriffs Need To Enforce All Eight Amendments Not Just The Second Amendment
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - If your sheriff will interpose on your behalf on behalf of the Second Amendment, why won’t your sheriff interpose on behalf of the rest of the amendments? If you sheriffs out there -- there’s probably some of you listening right now. You listen to me, if you’re doing this because it’s good politics, I understand. If you’re doing it out of devotion to principle, my question to you is: What about the other seven amendments tha….Continue
Calling For Another Bloody Civil War Is Not Being A Conservative
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Bloody civil wars are entered into by political choice. That is not a legal question; that is a political question. I don’t think, and I reject all of you that are so ginned up and believe a bloody civil war is right around the corner. My God, think about it when you say that. Why would you even wish that on the people? Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue
A State Has The Right To Choose Its Religion
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - There are two prohibitions in the Constitution, one against religious tests for office and the First Amendment. I don’t see how if bigamy or polygamy were what the Mormons said was a part of their religion, I don’t see how that could have been used to exclude or say they could not have been admitted as a state provided they ratified the Constitution. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue
What Did Virginia's Founding Fathers Really Mean When They Ratified Constitution?
Mandeville, LA - In a post I wrote earlier this week we discussed the fact the not only were the Southern States correct in their assertion of the Constitution as a Compact but nearly the entire PLANET agreed with them-save for that violent, tyrannical mob in New England. My post made its way onto the pages of The Imaginative Conservative website. In the comments that resulted, it was asserted that I didn't know what I was talking about and that the VA Founding Fathers NEVER i….Continue
What Patrick Henry Warned Us About Before the Constitution Was Ratified
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - All this fiscal cliff garbage, all this depressing talk about tax increases and all this, this is all preordained. It matters not the size and scope of our debts and deficits and what we owe and what our children are going to have to owe and the tax slavery you’ll live under to repay it. It is not going to change one iota, not one punctuation mark between now and the passage or lack of passage of the so-called fiscal cliff. All thes….Continue
Interview with Brion McClanahan - Secession is Legal… But is it Still Too Soon?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On today's Founders TV show we have special guest Professor Brion McClanahan discussing the legality of Secession. You can find his article on the subject right here at americanconservative.com. We agree that Secession is legal, but is it still too soon for the American public? Mike and Brion also discuss what will happen to the average American if the Federal security blanket is swept out from underneath them. There are many people….Continue
It Didn't Take 200 Years To Go This Far Off Course
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Well, I don’t think it took 200 years to get this far screwed. There is something to be said for someone (hint, hint) writing and producing a movie that has as its feature that Patrick Henry and George Mason were successful in defeating the ratification of the Constitution in Virginia, which would have defeated ratification in New York, and probably would have defeated ratification in toto. What would have happened? Then the three-….Continue
SCOTUS Justice Says Get Ready for Dictatorship Over Constitutional & Civic Ignorance
VIDEO, Concord NH - Former SCOTUS Justice David Souter is alarmed at the collective ignorance the American Shoeple have over the U.S. Constitution and civics in general. Conditions that could be ripe for a dictator to swoop in and promise an easy solution. So again we see that the threat to our liberties comes not from a foreign invader or an alien race trying to control satellite dishes on Oahu's mountaintops. It comes in the form of centralized power that because it is so ….Continue
Why Was There a Constitution Called For?
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What it takes to be a constitutional expert today is to have gone to a law school on the East Coast, it’s as simple as that, and to have had some professor profess to teach the subject. What they actually teach, if they teach at all, is they teach Supreme Court history. It’s not really Constitution history; it’s Supreme Court history. Constitution history is a fairly straightforward field of stud….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio & Transcript - If you really want to learn about conservatism and little r [r]epublicanism, the best material to study is the source material, and the cream of the crop is the Ratification Debates. Even Massachusetts, one of the most liberal states in the Union, had debates about whether their Country (yes, they considered their "state" to be their country) should join a union and what were the pros and cons of doing so.
