My Response to the Revisionist 2nd Amendment Claims of Samuel Goldman

Mandeville, LA  - So the furious quest to WILL the second Amendment into being something it never was continues this time at The American Conservative with writer Samuel Goldman channeling the  Constructionist Justice Story to validate the 2nd Amendment as universal. "As Sanford Levinson points out in this response, that interpretation is logically coherent but historically implausible. Given America’s mythologized origins in citizen revolt, Levinson suggests, a more convincing reading of […]

White House Cites Lincoln on Secession But Lincoln’s Abolitionist Buddies WERE Secessionists

Mandeville, LA - By Mike Church - When the White House responded to Michael E.'s "Peaceful Secession from Union" petition they quoted Lincoln as the historian of record for the view that "there is no right to walk away" [from the Union]. That's a historically ignorant statement seeing as how abolitionist Yankee Senators and citizens alike who ultimately would call Southerners "traitors", agitated for and promoted "secession as a duty" […]

If ANY State is a “Taker” State Then The Union Under Constitution Is At An End

This claim is made by the Southern states "friends" in Northeastern, Northern and Western States who […]

What Did Virginia’s Founding Fathers Really Mean When They Ratified Constitution?

Mandeville, LA - In a post I wrote earlier this week we discussed the fact the not only were the Southern States correct in their assertion of the Constitution as a Compact but nearly the entire PLANET agreed with them-save for that violent, tyrannical mob in New England. My post made its way onto the pages of The Imaginative Conservative website. In the comments that resulted, it was asserted that […]

John Quincy Adams: Northerners Pioneered The Right of Secession First

Preview from What Lincoln Killed: The Timothy Pickering Story of Northern Secession Mandeville, LA - We have all heard enough perfunctory incriminations hurled at anyone using "the S word" these days: secession. Say it in the wrong company, which unfortunately is most company and you may get a face-full of spittle asserting "the Right of secession". "Why" they confidently bellow "we had a war over that and settled it". Or […]

Blast From the Past: Ron Paul Interviewed by Mike Church in New Orleans, LA

On 17 June 2011 at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Rep. Ron Paul sat down with Mike Church to answer some questions about the debt, the ongoing wars, and the Federal Reserve just to name a few.

Using The 14th Amendment To Nullify Secession Petitions is Preposterous

"Can a State which is not a State and not recognized as such by Congress, perform the supreme duty of ratifying an amendment to the fundamental law?" Mandeville, LA - The Christian Science Monitor is all a flutter with their faux facts presented as Constitutional bedrock in "If your side lost the election, time to secede from the Union?" by Mark Guarino. Guarino has swallowed the entire bottle of "indivisible union […]
