The Civil War Was NOT Fought Over Nullification “Progressive Professor”

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - The "Progressive Professor" has an article about how Rand Paul is "reviving Nullification from the Pre Civil War Years", the Civil War was fought over precisely that issue, and that viewpoint lost the war.

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Leo Linbeck III has an article at The Imaginitive Conservative comparing two 19th Century Frenchmen's vision of America, Rousseau and Tocqueville, to our current political situation.

The Jefferson Inauguration… Much Different From Obama’s

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Things were a little different when Thomas Jefferson became president of the United States... there was no motorcade with limos, no 10-inch thick bulletproof glass, no Beyoncé singing the national anthem, not even any microphones. But what TJ's inauguration did have was the spirit of Independence and Liberty. Jefferson walked right up to the Capitol building dressed as "a plain citizen without […]

With Great Power Comes Great Executive Orders

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - We know that Obama is a huge Spider-Man fan, but maybe he's taking the phrase "with great power, comes great responsibility" a little too far. With his gun control, executive order announcement yesterday, he took the most IRRESPONSIBLE way out of the gun control argument... the illegal way. In fact, there was a completely legal way for new gun control measures to […]

The Founders Did Not Intend For Us To Be In Constant Debt, Much Less $16 Trillion In The Hole

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - The Founders set up a way to raise revenue and, if need be, borrow money in case of war, so that we wouldn't be in constant debt.

White House Responds to Secession Petitions… and It’s About What You’d Expect

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We were told on November 7th or 8th when these petitions first hit the WhiteHouse.gov website, that these were just temper tantrums from sore losers who would move on. The White House posted the little response that these people would move on, that the knuckle-dragging Neanderthals that had asked about secession would crawl back in their caves and we’d nevermore hear about this silliness […]

Get Ready for a “Gun Safety Agency”

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On today's Founders Television show Mike discusses the differences between the phrases "Gun Control" and "Gun Safety". Now that we're moving toward "Gun Safety" expect more and more regulations like we have on food and drugs, the environment, etc. So in the near future you can expect to have to go through a Federally approved retailer just to purchase a gun... just […]

Great Government Does Not Make Virtuous People

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On today's Founders TV Mike takes on the theory that "Great Government Makes Virtuous People". We know that, in reality, many of the people involved in government are some of the most corrupt in the country, so why would implementing "good policy" suddenly make everyone in the country good people, when the ones actually writing the laws ARE NOT!? Also on today's […]
