How Did The United States Go From Articles Of Confederation To Constitution?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Well, the Articles of Confederation was most certainly and positively just that. It was a compact.

James Madison Had True Patriotism, Not Like The Phony Patriotism Our Elected Officials Claim Today

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Think about this for just a moment. Madison is going to take Hamilton to task because Washington is not going to war, or is not going to act as an ally in a war. James Madison’s point is: Even when it comes to declaring neutrality, that’s still not a function of the executive, unless it’s a treaty to remain neutral. Then the executive can […]

James Madison On Taxes And Immigration

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I just found it really fortuitous that I stumbled upon this letter while watching the Snowden clip about the nobility of the federal government and that’s what it was that drew Edward Snowden to it, then tying the whole immigration part of this letter to our current pickle over said immigration, being able to then see that back in 1794, 1795, 1796, just years […]

Patrick Henry Would Abolish The IRS, So Why Don’t We?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There’s a chapter in that book, in Albert Taylor Bledsoe’s book Is Davis a Traitor? and the chapter title is “The Founding Fathers As Political Prophets.” That’s the title of the chapter.

Patrick Henry – Statesman And Christian Gentleman

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – My interest is always piqued with people’s fascination with Henry. Their fascination with him just comes from one speech, the “Give me liberty or give me death” speech. The “Give me liberty or give me death” speech is a great speech, but there’s no transcript of this. No one ever wrote this thing down. He spoke, in what we would call today, extemporaneously. He […]

What Patrick Henry Warned Us About Before the Constitution Was Ratified

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - All this fiscal cliff garbage, all this depressing talk about tax increases and all this, this is all preordained. It matters not the size and scope of our debts and deficits and what we owe and what our children are going to have to owe and the tax slavery you’ll live under to repay it. It is not going to change one iota, not […]
