If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride – Just Practice Republicanism

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Jefferson said that republicanism is defined as: a government that is controlled by the people upon which it directly acts. In other words, if you live in a little hamlet anywhere in the United States, you have a town council or city council or alderman, whatever the case may be.

Stop Being So Cynical And Find The Beauty Around You

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Many people had the greatest intentions and look how it all turned out. Then the problem becomes that people will not admit, government is not allowed and will not admit its own failings. It just hasn’t plowed enough money in it, hasn’t tried hard enough. Now it seems like we’re stuck always looking for, always expecting the worst and the bad. That’s no way […]

Donald in Texas Would Rather Secede and Deal With His Own Problems… Sounds Like federalism To Me

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What you’re basically describing to me is that you desire a return to a very healthy and energetic form of federalism, which is what you could have under a federal system as envisioned and ordered by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, that is not what we currently have. There is an attempt at federalism but it’s abandoned all too easily. There are a few people […]

Why We Want republicanism

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Let’s just say, for example, if the people of Massachusetts and New York and New Jersey, if they want to live under ObamaCare, who are we to deny them? If that’s what you want to do, you ought to be able to do that. I don’t care. I believe you’re going to bankrupt yourself, and I believe there’s going to be a shortage of […]

Incorporating Amendment Two Will Disarm People and Undermine Republicanism

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I don’t have a problem with the NRA. What I said is they have foolishly and in an unconstitutional, suicidal to liberty manner, worked for and now achieved incorporation of Amendment Two and the rest of the Bill of Rights for use against the states, which, as I pointed out, a state previously would have been free, should they have cared to do so, […]

There is No Salvation To Be Delivered By Romney or Obama, Obsessing Over Them Is Making It Worse

Obama & co. ponder where to strike the rebels they helped put in power in Libya (still no word on the orignal sin of intervention) Loyalty of the Lib as seen in polls: ObamaBots bolt the President on the results of ONE debate? And you wonder where the character & virtue of our civilization has gone? "Ruh Roh Shaggy!" The Democrats get out the vote effort, much maligned the past […]
