The Mystery Of Life Is Gone – What’s Left Is Tax Burden On The Yet-to-be-Born

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Of course, with our scientific acumen and achievement, there is no mystery left, or we don’t think there’s any mystery.

The Progressive Train Is Steaming Down The Tracks

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The reason is because it is far easier and a lot more comforting in the short-term to abuse the privilege of governing, especially when you can abuse it with the promise that a future person to be governed is going to pay for it.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let’s just sum up what has occurred in the month of October in 2013.

Conservatism – The Most Misused Word In Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I have a very intriguing thought to add to this discussion about intellect and about what conservatives ought to do. As a nonconformist member of the worst generation, I think the major problem we have today is we’re not smart enough to have studied, or we’re not studious to know what words actually mean. We use many words out of context. The most bastardized […]

EBT Card Users Pay It Backwards

Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine - In his essay “The Law”, Frederic Bastiat identified the fatal tendencies of free people. “[T]here is also another tendency that is common among people. When they can, they wish to live and prosper at the expense of others.” This helps explain why the number of Americans on Food Stamps has expanded from 25 million in 2008 to 47 million this past June.
