The Constitution

Ronald Reagan LOVED Constitution Day

Ronald Reagan LOVED the Constitution and in fact, issued Constitution Day Proclamations on every Sept. 17th that he was in Office! Were it only so today. I can find no mention of Constitution Day anywhere on the Whitehouse website and have heard nothing from President Bush. Most people will give some sort of "really. today is the Constitution's Birthday!? Yeah, whatever" or ".... hmmm, that's cool" response when learning of today's historical meaning. This is unhealthy and highly inappropriate behavior […]

Liberty

Real Liberty is Protection

The notion of liberty is what this country was built on – but what does the phrase “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” actually mean?  It means freedom is something given to you, but something you have to earn as well – by participating in society. Mike explains that it all stems from our beginnings to break from England.  He adds, “According to the Constitution, you have rights, but only when you participate in the society. You have to […]

We Need to Conserve the Spirit of ’76

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike:  Don’t tell me you’re trying to conserve the Constitution using the Supreme Court’s convoluted interpretations of it of the last 50 years.  I actually heard, and we have this digital media file, Chrissy Hissy-Fit Matthews had Sheldon Whitehouse, a senator, and Orrin Batten the Hatch, a senator, on “Spitball” yesterday.  And he was asking them about Supreme Courts, about Obama’s upcoming SCOTUS choice.  [Mimicking Chris Matthew]  “Well, how do you think that [indiscernible] Supreme Court […]

Courts Can’t Control the Constitution

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike: As a studier of the republic, this is how you can arrive at a – let’s just call it a lazy man’s way to what is constitutional and what is not.  Take whatever case you think that you’re upset with that a judge has decided instead of a legislature and apply the rule.  With what you know about the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, and with what you know about the founding fathers, […]

Constitutional Studies Continues With M.E. Bradford

In my reserach for the sequel to the Fame of Our Fathers - "The Spirit of '76" I have read lots of stuff about the Constitution and the Ratification debates. M.E. Bradford's Book of essays contained in "Original Intentions" are some of the best- modern day defenses - of states rights and the fact that the Constitution was specifically  designed to LIMIT the power of the government. If you want to have a better understanding of this and thus the […]
