Mandeville, LA - On Sunday evening, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos showed the world his grand master plan for distributing amazon's wares: partnering with drone developers (heavily subsidized by you and me) to fashion pizza box sized drones that can deliver your "must have it now" item from an amazon distribution center. I explain why I care not to see any stinkin' drones on my lawn. Want more of Mike Church […]

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "If we’re looking for any kind of a silver lining from the ObamaCare implementation, and I’m not promoting this as a silver lining, and no, I’m not happy about it. What I said was, in the first hour, that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act has lifted the shroud on what this stuff actually costs. People are shocked. They are shocked at what it […]
Conservative victory, it's all the rage...
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The point that Buchanan is making that I’m trying to make, or that I’ll continue to make, is that if a country is participating in the League of Nations, as the Iranians are saying they wish to participate in, and they are engaging in commerce and there are tens of millions of those engaging in commerce, direct commerce, and they become at least partially […]

KingDude's Rating = 2.5/4 Reagan's Mandeville, LA - In Mount Olympus has Fallen the White House is take control of by a special ops force of elite North Koreans, decimating the entire defense system of the President and leaving the President & his top 3 advisors in the White House bunker with the masterminds of the operation.

This Day In Founding Fathers History – 30 November 2012 On this day in 1804, the Senate began its third impeachment trial, this time of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. Virginia Rep. John Randolph initiated the impeachment proceedings. Chase was accused of “refusing to dismiss biased jurors” and “excluding or limiting defense witnesses in two politically sensitive cases.” He was also accused of promoting his own political agendas from the bench. Chase’s defense was that he was being tried for […]
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - Senator Tom Cuburn was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos yesterday and intimated that he was ready to accept a tax increase if Dumbocrats would put entitlements on the table. Without putting Medicare out there -- for those of you that think that the federal edifice can be preserved, which I have begun the process of thinking that is less and less […]
Mandeville, LA - Name the week of the year on a calendar and there is a good chance that Mike Church has brought up a man who inspired our founding fathers, David Hume and his "The Idea of a Perfect Commonwealth", on his Sirius/XM radio show or Founders TV show. Hume was an inspirational figure during the founding era and is well known to have inspired James Madison's views on […]
Mandeville, LA - One of the casualties of the recently concluded "federal" elections was the discussion of monetary policy, this was NOT a Thomas Jefferson moment. That the existence of the Fed, the Central Bank, now is not questioned by anyone lest they become labeled as radicals or extremists (see Ron Paul), tells us a lot about our sinking ship of state.
Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine - “Happy Thanksgiving!” goes the oft cited phrase and indeed this year there will be plenty to give thanks for. Despite the stubborn rate of unemployment, the growing sea of red ink our government is swimming in and a corrupt culture from Baton Rouge to music award stages starring half naked hipsters simulating coitus, still we give thanks.
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I would not deny, and I don’t think any sane individual would, that the way of life of those peoples that congregate themselves in the Middle East is antithetical to the way we view how you live life and the things you ought to and ought not to do. They have been doing it for an awful long time, haven’t they? Check out today’s […]
Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine - Why is Rep. Steve Scalise spending an Israeli lobbyist’s money? Oh wait, he only accepted the “gift” as a way to spare taxpayers the expense of funding his seven day trip to Israel to meet with Israeli leaders. Gee I wonder why he’d want to do that? Well it may have something to do with his embrace of “our closest ally in the region” […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You wrote on your Facebook page on Thursday that the minority should not have been able to thwart the will of the majority in these things and it was long past time for this to happen. I understand where you’re coming from now that I’ve done a little reading on it, but there are other people that do not. Check out today’s transcript for […]

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Before we move any further with this, I want to go back to November the 12th. Today’s the 25th. That’s a little shy of two weeks. I want to revisit with Patrick J. Buchanan. He was writing about this exact subject. It was known back then that Kerry and company were trying to negotiate some kind of deal with the Iranian mullahs. I saw […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I want to get back to the Iranian, John “Rambo” Kerry, and Barack Obama deal. The last caller at the end of the hour agreed with the point that the president has sent his secretary of state over there on behalf of the United States Senate basically to negotiate what amounts to a treaty over this. That doesn’t mean the Senate has to ratify […]

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – How many times have you checked your email, gone to your Facebook page, gone to your Twitter feed, go to your blog on your website and someone has gotten into an internet spat or an electronic spat with someone else and they have played the final trump card? What is it? It’s a quote. How many times have you seen a quote played as […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let’s go all the way back to 1787 and let’s figure out why there was a Senate to start with. To answer that question is to shed some light on the way things are supposed to work in the American constitutional system, which, by the time I’m finished with this, it’s not the way I’m going to tell you they work because they don’t […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The reason I bring that up is because Apple can get away with that. They have engineers that are doing this for profit. They have engineers whose very livelihoods and you could almost say lives are on the line if they don’t fix whatever that glitch was and get it right. The people that are engineers at HealthCare.gov, they don’t have any vested interest […]

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – People love to call radio shows and make Twitter and Facebook posts all about Saul Alinsky, who’s dead, and whose Rules for Radicals can inspire us to be Obama-like and understand what the Obamabots are doing. I think what the Obamabot zombies are doing is a lot more related to, as I discussed earlier, the transfer of wealth than you may be willing to […]

Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine - South Baton Rouge has a problem: they don’t like their neighbors. To be specific, they don’t like the way their neighbor’s kids behave in school, the way those kids videotape fights for the joy of posting them online and the fact that they have to subsidize this behavior. Welcome to the soon to be incorporated city of St George, LA whose residents believe their […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Here’s another great little historical inconvenience, Frank. Pennsylvania was also part of a perpetual union according to the Articles of Confederation. You have been living in this union in violation of your own theory, according to the act ratified in November of 1781 called the Articles of Confederation. How does that taste in your pipe? Check out today’s transcript for the rest…
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If there’s one thing I think we’re going to be very excited about the prospects of in the very near future for ourselves, for the rest of our lives, and hopefully for our children, it is that decentralization, republicanism, and civic spirit is returning. It wasn’t on the backburner. I think it was pretty much on life support. It has been revived. It has […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – By the bye, Richard Gamble, a friend and colleague of Dr. Brad Birzer’s at Hillsdale had a piece posted last week at The American Conservative Magazine entitled “Gettysburg Gospel.” I did not know this. Did you know that some of the quotes that Lincoln tossed into the American scripture were actually taken from a journal? Check out today’s transcript for the rest…
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – One of the things that we talk about here on this show that I think distinguishes it from others is that there is no partisan solution. First of all, the conservative does not believe there is a political solution to life. Let me repeat that. The conservative does not believe that there is a political solution to life’s problems. Life’s problems have to be […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is the way the game works. If you think it’s just a game about ideology and politics, again, I say you’re wrong. The game is all about the money, boatloads of federal money. Follow the boatloads of federal money and you will always wind up where the pot of gold is at the end of the lib rainbow, always. They’re all about the […]
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - It's true that every country spies on each other in some form or another, but not to the extent that the NSA is doing. And aren't other countries supposed to look up to us as the standard of freedom and liberty throughout the world? So what does it tell everyone when the NSA is out there collecting e-mails and texts from France, […]

"A propositional nation like Lincoln’s is “teleocratic,” in philosopher Michael Oakeshott’s use of the word, as distinct from “nomocratic.” That is, it governs itself by the never-ending pursuit of an […]
Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine Video - Back in August I commented on the ridiculous court case the Obama InJustice Department is pursuing against Louisiana’s school voucher system. Yesterday federal judge Ivan Lemelle confirmed that the state has to comply with Holder’s information requests before issuing vouchers. This is supposedly necessary because of the 1975 desegregation case Brumfeld v. Dodd but that is just a ruse. As I pointed out […]
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – They know that if he were to say that he knew directly and went out and launched that site anyway, HealthCare.gov, and then lied and said he had no knowledge of this, of how bad it was, and that Ms. Sebelius didn’t have any knowledge of how bad it was, or whatever her latest excuse is -- he knows that that is a whopper […]
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There was an attempt to drag the NSA into the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court resisted. More than likely, the Supreme Court was just waiting on the right case (if that makes sense) so they could issue the decision that they kinda already have planned, which would be that they don't believe that what the NSA is doing is Constitutional (mostly, […]
