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 volumes in all and they would make a fantastic edition […]

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!?" This then brings up the most misunderstood use of the Constitution: to "incorporate" the first ten amendments to the states (using the "due process clause of the 14th amendment). We need look no further than the complete Bill of Rights itself, in the form it was presented to the states for ratification. Pay […]

Bradford vs Jaffa-Why Lincoln was NOT a Founder & The Origins of Exceptionalism

Mandeville, LA - If you have ever heard the term "Straussians" you may have wondered "who was Strauss?"

Leo Strauss was a German emigre who escaped the war and landed as a professor at the University of Chicago. Strauss earned a cult following for his views on "equality" and the American "destiny" to enforce it on her citizens and then […]

Jefferson’s First State of The Union Address

Thomas Jefferson delivered his first state of the union address in writing. He did not call a session of Congress to deliver this in person. Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: 8 December, 1801 - It is a circumstance of sincere gratification to me that on meeting the great council of our nation I am able to announce to them on grounds of reasonable certainty that the wars and troubles which have for so many years afflicted […]

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 Choice Theory". "There is a familiar criticism of public choice […]
