Law & Order - Too Many Laws, Not Enough Order

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – When James Madison was writing Federalist Paper No. 62, I think, something like that, when he was writing that particular Federalist Paper and he was pining away from a check on the excesses of the state legislatures -- he wanted a veto on the acts of the states -- the reason he gave was that you had to have some kind of a board of revision that could look at laws that were injurious to liberty and could repeal them. If law became t….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Come on, Mike, there’s nothing that’s really permanent.”  I suppose if you approach these things and these matters from the point of view that there is no permanence, meaning there is no God and there is no Transcendent, then I suppose you could make the case or conclude that there’s only us and only us tomorrow and only the us we make.  Then there will be only them and they will decide.  Since they all decide and there i….Continue

The Conservative Brand And True Conservatism Are Two Very Different Things

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I would like to draw the distinction between what basically today is entertainment that is labeled and branded as intellectual thought. It’s not intellectual thought. It is entertainment that may be amenable and may appeal to people who believe themselves to be conservative, but it is not an intellectual and well thought out and principled conservatism, not of the order of the Russell Kirks and this gentleman I was reading, of th….Continue

God Is The Answer And Must Be Restored

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Why do they continue to tell us that there really is no God and he has no part in any of our affairs public or private? Why do they continue to tell us that there is no such thing as good manners, because if you exhibit good manners you must be some sort of a chauvinistic, bigoted pig? Why, Mr. Church, why? The why is because there is no Him. He has been chased out of our lives. Check out today's transcri….Continue

Are You Political Or Politicized?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We always think of things in terms of politics. Everything is political, especially when you are doing talk radio. You’re supposed to be all political all the time. There’s no room for the philosophical. There’s no room for the intellectual. By the by, the intellectual is separable from the political. The two are not joined at the hip. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Conservative Is Just A Brand...And It's Definitely Not Libertarian

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Conservatism has very little to do with politics. As a matter of fact, the natural conservative inclination is to not get involved in politics because of its corrupting influences. The conservative instinct is to always try and prevent most things from becoming part of the political process. That ought to be the natural position of the conservative, that the things we want to preserve we want to preserve through divinity. We want….Continue

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - What about fat people? More people die from obesity than die from gun violence every year. Shouldn’t we try to figure out what the mental state of mind is of Fat Albert, try to figure out how we can stop fat people from becoming fat? Maybe there’s a mental health cure. Maybe if we just mentally observed. Hang on, before you can eat a Twinkie, before you can partake of your first taste of products made with high fructos….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - After I was done weeping for those children, as I sat there like a sponge in a chair boohooing and praying for those children’s souls in Connecticut, the next thought turns to anger, then rage, then to why. Then when you start trying to process it, or the way my mind works anyways, my next thought was: What is it that was lacking in that young man’s mind, in his heart and in his soul that gave any cover whatsoever, logical, illogica….Continue

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - When I hear you say “They can’t come home. Get out. Who is this freeloader here?” Maybe he’s not really a freeloader. Maybe you’re looking at the glass the wrong way. Maybe the natural tendency always was to go home. Maybe the natural conservative leaning is that we have homes and a housing market so that homes are not investment, homes are where families are raised. If it’s 20 or if it’s three, what differ….Continue

"National Greatness Conservatism" No Link to GOP

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Conservatism’s advance or conservatism’s defense and then advance should not be predicated upon its marriage to a political party. The political party ought to be courting us. We should not be courting the political party. That equation is backwards. We’re the leaders that if the party wants to use our brain trust, if they’re smart and want to organize and retool what it is they do, they need to come to us. We don’t need t….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Government is just a tool. People say, “I want to reduce the size and the scope.” If you’re going to reduce the size and the scope, then you’re going to have to enlarge the sphere of virtue. You’re going to have to enlarge the sphere of -- I’m sorry, I have to say this -- chivalry and manliness. Men, you’re actually going to have to be men for once in our lives again.

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - When you all go out to vote for "Anyone but Obama" tomorrow, don't forget about the other ways of stopping Chairman MaoBama if he does indeed win.

Mike Reads Eric Voegelin

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - So I’ve turned to reading some older conservative authors. One of them is a gentleman by the name of Eric Voegelin. Voegelin was a mentor to Russell Kirk. I think that in Voegelin’s book Science, Politics and Gnosticism, which is a really small book, at one part of it he identifies what is really at work here. This has to be transcribed because you have to read this. It’s posted as a com….Continue

Ohio: Turns from the "Buckeye State" to "The Parasite State"

Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Obama The Genius: The GM bailout was a political calculation that is paying HUGE dividends in OH as 64% of Ohio parasites believe "it was an overall good thing for the state"; of course the other 48 states that subsidized it with their children's futures may not agree (this is why corporatism lasts until it becomes tyrannical) Scott Galupo: Describing Michelle Malkin as a "loyal foot soldier" to Romney and a"concerned pragmatist" is as ridiculous as describing David Frum as "c….Continue
