Lee would circulate the contents and ideas among his peers in Virginia. These ideas helped form the foundation for Virginia’s first Constitution which was written and signed into law in June of 1776- weeks before the rest of the colonies would […]

Learn Austrian Economics at iTunes

I discovered Austrian Economics through my reading of Freidrich von Hayek. At the time I read Hayek (twice!) there wasn't an "Austrian" I could recite by name, now thanks to the Von Mises institute and mises.org I can recite a lot of names and also a lot of Austrian theory. Free markets are the greatest methods of exchange in civil societies and have brought more prosperity to the world in […]

The Documentary History of Ratification Book Series

The number one question I am asked about my movies is "where did you get all that information from"? Well, when the subject is the U.S. Constitution there is one very reliable and unimpeachable source: The Documentary History of The Ratification of the U.S. Constitution, edited by Joseph Kaminski... The volumes that I have presonally read are IX and X because they cover the Virginia ratification debates. There are 23 […]

Incorporation Doctrine for Dummies

The most frequent question I get from listeners about the Constitution is "Why don't you believe that the second amendment applies to the states you gun grabber!?"

We need look no further than the complete Bill of Rights itself, in the […]

James Buchanan’s “Public Choice Theory”

I briefly alluded to professor Buchanan's "Public Choice Theory" on Thursday, 7 January 2010. As I have been saying for overe a year now it is absolute folly to believe in "reform" or "reform candidates" when it comes to Mordor on the Potomac. Our Constitution is dead and Congress is an ad hoc government making its own rules up as it consumes the population. Here's an excerpt from Buchanan's "Public […]
