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 […]
UPDATE! THE BEER PARTY CREST IS COMPLETED (see below) - Welcome! Welcome One And All! This is the official home tavern of the Mike Church's Beer Party. Keeping in the Spirit of our Founding Fathers, who made regular visits to such notable drinking establishments, including City Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, VA, we come together to discuss liberty, freedom, dreams and our vision of the […]
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 […]
Mandeville, LA - If you have ever heard the term "Straussians" you may have wondered "who was Strauss?" The next question should be then "how did Strauss come to influence so many if so few know about him?" 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ronald Reagan LOVED the Constitution and in fact, issued Constitution Day Proclamations on every Sept. 17th that he was in Office! Were it only so today. I can find no mention of Constitution Day anywhere on the Whitehouse website and have heard nothing from President Bush. Most people will give some sort of "really. today is the Constitution's Birthday!? Yeah, whatever" or ".... hmmm, that's cool" response when learning of […]
Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike: What is the difference between the men that were in public life at the turn of the 18th Century – from 1760 to 1800 or 1810, say – what is the difference between those men and the citizenry at large, for that matter, and between us? And the big difference, I think, and I’ll get your take on this, is that that generation grew […]
The notion of liberty is what this country was built on – but what does the phrase “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” actually mean? It means freedom is something given to you, but something you have to earn as well – by participating in society. Mike explains that it all stems from our beginnings to break from England. He adds, “According to the Constitution, you have rights, but […]
