(Audio) Mandeville, LA - I have often told the story that while writing the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson was inspired by founder George Mason. There is no clearer example of this than Jefferson's heavy use of Mason's phrase from the VA Declaration concerning the pursuit of happiness. this should clear it up and hopefully help the reader fully understand that had Jefferson been as verbose as Mason, the "all […]
Mandeville, LA - It often comes to my attention that most folks think it entirely proper that the Federal Government should design, confiscate the property, then build and maintain millions of miles of Interstate roads and bridges. Many time people use the argument that "well the Constitution does give Congress authority to build post roads." Actually the Constitution gives Congress the authority to"establish" post roads NOT build them. No one […]
I am often asked the question: Mike, if you're so sure there is no hope for the Constitution and the Union why don't YOU just give up!?" And the answer is "just because the fight seems unwinnable that doesn't mean that it is worth fighting. That's where the "Brave Horatius at the bridge" poem comes in because Horatius faces the same situation and the same question, yet he soldiers on. […]

From Mike Church - This is the debate held in committee of the whole on the qualifications for holding office in the new federal government. The Framers took great care to discuss the influence that foreigners could weild if they were not careful. I originally came to this debate because it helps flesh out the reasons why the Framers included the enumerated power “To establish a uniform rule for naturalization” which […]
On today's show I introduced you to Thomson Mason, George Mason's brother. Thomson was heavily involved in the writing of Revolutionary War tracts asserting the rights of the Colonists living in their sovereign "states". Mason is the author of the letter I read on today's show which read in part. "It is objected that this measure strikes at the Navigation Acts, which we have long submitted to. The very objection evinces […]
Adams wrote this letter to Declaration of Independence signer William Hooper of North Carolina. He also transcribed this out by hand to William Penn and R.H. Lee of Virginia. Lee would circulate the contents and ideas among his peers in Virginia. These ideas helped form the foundation for Virginia’s first Constitution which was written and signed into law in June of 1776- weeks before the rest of the colonies would […]
I discovered Austrian Economics through my reading of Freidrich von Hayek. At the time I read Hayek (twice!) there wasn't an "Austrian" I could recite by name, now thanks to the Von Mises institute and mises.org I can recite a lot of names and also a lot of Austrian theory. Free markets are the greatest methods of exchange in civil societies and have brought more prosperity to the world in […]
