Free Phone Friday Pile of Prep

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church‘s daily Pile of Prep, bringing you the latest from a world gone mad. Kevin Gutzman lays the ratified intent hammer down on a “constitution” professor while Bruce Frohnnen reminds us that Americans CAN’T always “have it your way”. Read along with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “The problem with this consumerist nirvana is that it is unreal, and like all artificial pleasures, it does not really satisfy. Because it does not satisfy it becomes addictive. Should anything go wrong in our perfect world our disappointment is disproportionate. We assume everything will not only work perfectly, but we also assume that everything must be to our liking instantly. If not, spoiled children that we are, we will stamp our feet, put out a pouting lower lip and demand that the instant gratification start up again. Faithful believers who once came to church with an attitude of obedience, worship and a willingness to serve God and neighbor now come to get something: an inspiring talk, an uplifting experience, a spiritual poke or a clerical joke. If they don’t like the pastor, the company, the music or the gospel message they will complain and move to another church to have it their way.“ – Dwight Longenecker – on Burger Kings and Dairy Queens

Michael Brendan Dougherty predicted it: ISIS is targeting all the Christian cities of Iraq, Mosul is already a rubble heap and Irbil is next. Christian Kurds meanwhile beg for U.S. help as White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest callously states “there is no military solution for the problems in Iraq”. Funny, when we wanted to remove Saddam, there was ONLY a military solution. Saddam at least kept the Islamic hoardes from murdering Christians but thanks to DeceptiCON arrogance, our brothers and sisters in Christ are slowly being martyr’d. PRAY

Speaking of MBD, his latest pulls the curtain back off the opportunists in high ranking Tea Party outfits. I cleared my conscience long ago when TP groups could stitch together $50k to hire Sara Palin for 30 minute speeches. MBD names names, groups and how they operate while pointing out a painful truth that I can vouch for: the opportunists win again. The Lefties are never in denial of their professional, “consultant” class that earns its “living” off the tax deductible booty amped up by federal grants and outright appropriations. The Right TRIES to play pure with it’s opportunist “work-force” and the tragedy is there are millions of actual concerned citizens, whose [political] lives, [small] fortunes and [now defiled] scared honor is on the line.

Updates from the WaPo show that ISIS has moved into control of Iraq’s biggest water dam, a breach of which could flood Baghdad. The Islamic jihad has also captured the ancient Christian town of Qaraqosh and has pinned hundreds of Kurds to a mountaintop without food, water or shelter. I am not a proponent of intervention by our military in any conflict but since we set these events in motion we may be honor bound to consider a Just intervention

That creepy feeling of the loss of initiative many of us have been trying to express is now a trend you can demonstrate with actual data and the biggest surprise is? All those hoodie wearing tech-ie-naires are an exception to the solidifying rule: young people do not know HOW to be entrepreneurs

Srdja Trifkovic explains the results of the Israel-Hamas war in terms so stark I chasten Israel-firsters to NOT read them. Trifkovic’s analysis could easily apply to the U.S. and the shambles that were once countries we have left around the Mid-East

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE? You betcha. Members of the United States Senate WANT the President to be the House where bills raising revenue originate? THIS is an example of what the impeachment power was meant to deal with (although a censure can do similar things). The wicked policy of global integration and deadly intervention will prove to be anathema to republics of the future including the ones that will be borne of the impending breakup of the American Union.

Ebola outbreak in the U.S.!? Our almighty disease overlords begin gently warning that an Ebola outbreak may be incubating in the U.S. and even if it isn’t it IS incubating in enough places around the globe that feature travelers coming and going TO the U.S.

Trade Wars produce no winners and “sanctions” only punish, civilian populations causing economic “blowback” and rarely lead to the desired behavior. Russia is proving that to the T-Rex sized brains in Mordor on the Potomac as it escalates the “sanctions” placed against EU and USA industries

The proof of Lincoln’s deceit now comes in book form: Lincoln”s legacy of sainthood, love and piety toward “negroes” is legendary (Spielberg practically canonized him in “Lincoln”) but it is all based on false evidence and lazy/agenda driven historians. Now the REAL story is being told that the “great emancipator” was actually the great “relocator”

America, Have it YOUR way, ALWAYS. We have all been witness to a spoiled brat yuppie demeaning the hourly employees at any popular retailer or restaurant because “the customer is always right”. Now this extends to Catholic churches where remaining REVERENT in the presence of God has given way to being the attention center in God’s house. Witness any Novus Ordo Mass’s “let us show each other a sign of peace” which devolves into a kissing, waving and “brotherly love” fest the hippie pagans at Woodstock couldn’t even pull off.

Thursday’s guest Kevin Gutzman’s post of “Originalism” and how one law/history professor has taken the term and applied it to legitimize nearly everything, anyone wants to do in the name of “progress”. This is a Constitution take-down that there are not nearly enough of. “[Professor] Balkin offers that, “it explains why modern conceptions of civil rights and civil liberties, and the modern state’s protection of national security, health, safety and the environment are fully consistent with the basic framework created by the people who adopted and amended our Constitution.” Are you surprised? Anyone interested in testing that thesis should merely take a look at James Madison’s Bonus Bill Veto Message.”

Just 42% 0f Americans believe that Israel’s actions against Palestine/Hamas are “justified”. I wonder what the answer would be if the question were “are the actions of Israel resulting in the 700-1 disparity of civilian deaths, justified?”

Liberty The God That Failed, now has Libertarians conceding that Liberty cannot actually be their God by proposing a “libertarian case for a “Basic Income Guarantee”.

The stupidity of the sanction war against Russia by the U.S. and the equally imbecilic EU now bites poor Polish farmers in the butt as Russia bans Polish produce from importation. PROOF that what Ron Paul warned of has come to fruition: sanctions only punish the poor and are acts of economic war

Continuing my exploration of things everyone of us can d0 OUTSIDE of incessant incriminations via media and obsession over the political policy and participants of our day h/t audiosancto: “Rules of Life”

Let’s just review an important statistic this morning: the top 20 WEALTHIEST countries on earth (UN-2012). Look at the attached graphic and excluding the United States, note what things most of the countries on this list have in common. 1. They are small and the scale of representation is in-line; they are NOT known as military powers and they are not known as interventionists in other country’s affairs….hmmmmm….. is there a message here for the titanic, bloated menace that is the United States today?

AUDIO EDITION of this discussion on wealth & size is here

Thank heavens YAHOO is around to explore whether or not the Constitution is a compact or not and then bring their “experts” into the discussion for the hoi polloi’s education

Jack Hunter’s transformation away from the Southern Avenger to mainstream Libertarian is nearly complete and Dave Weigel of Slate has noticed

Obama: “The…’merican people don’t want me…..just standin’ around….waitin’ for Congress to do something”. The American people don’t grant you your power, the Constitution does and it REQUIRES YOU to “stand around” and wait for Congress to act so you can either A. sign & execute or B. veto

More Pulitzer prize winning work from Brandon Darby at breitbart.com, our man on the Southern Border reports that the entire planet seems to have gotten the memo that the United States is open for hauling in our welfare state “safety nets” whomever makes to the U.S. / Mexico border

This long and sordid history of the State of California’s 19th century actions against Chinese immigrants paints a very solid picture of the “alien friends” doctrine I have been talking about now for the last 3 months. Note that California acted as a sovereign entity and imposed her own taxes on Chinese immigrants to dissuade them

Glenn Greenwald via Edward Snowden: Obama and the U.S. government are in cahoots with Israel on most everything they do militarily including military planning and targeting

Now for the “wait a minute, no one’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned, pauperization, oh noooo, we’re all in this together!” moment of the year. The Daily Beast suggests that since American companies and the men who built them are fleeing this sinking ship of state faster than Cubans on 2 x 12 pine boards in 1964, we need “a loyalty oath” to keep them from fleeing the burning building.

Peter Beinart asks and answers a question I have been gently trying to pose to the listeners I am blessed to have via SiriusXM. The response has been one of near-universal outrage directed at me for even considering the question but as Beinart points out, that is because most Americans cannot distinguish between their own country’s manifestly immoral and unjust wars and anyone else’s on “our side”

Imaginative Conservative: Congratulations new Roman disciples of Nero, the persecution and quest to squash Christianity and Christians is alive and vibrant yet again. The same refutation the pagans suffered last time is set to repeat itself because there is but One Truth.

Brits decide to create, then publicly fund, an “online sperm bank” for lesbians only. In what can only be described by me as the plan to rid the British Isles of pesky men we now learn that it is only the science of biology that matters in creating families,. not mothers (they are temporarily needed) and NO fathers need apply.

Why is the FDA persecuting into closure the oldest cigar rolling factory in the USA? Save Cigar City campaign needs your help and the FDA needs to be abolished, again

SMOKE THIS! If the FDA cigar regulations go into effect, every handmade cigar sold in the U.S. will be “regulated” just like cigarettes, will have to undergo scientific testing, will be subject to new taxes and will not be allowed into the free-market unless approved by FDA. This will shutter the US cigar/tobacconist industries and make brans like my el Rey Dude Corona cigar a thing of the past.

Michael Scheuer unloads on the “Israel Firsters” who have corrupted the US political process by their willing into existence a conflict with jihadi extremists we had no attachment to

George Will thinks the National Legislature has the power to compel every county in the U.S. to adopt 20 illegal alien children, educate, feed and clothe them and “make them Americans”. I would like to ask the foundational question, citing what Constitutional power does Mr Will believe Mordor has such authority? Ilana Mercer has some thoughts on “Robbing Peter to pay Pedro”

Remember all those “Get Putin” demands from last week, because Putin MUST have been behind the downing of MH17, he’s Putin after all? Well the evidence is mounting that it was a Ukrainin military jet that did the shooting and there are eyewitnesses to back up the story

If you have taken my [r]epublican Challenge #1 (for Fathers) then you probably have a good handle on what to do when confronted with situations that can easily lead into violent, parental, episodes.

Did you know that in 1865, 7,000 Confederation citizens sailed to Brazil and set up a community there and are STILL there today? Hmmmm, maybe there IS still a place to seek refuge from Obama’s Leviathan

Today’s Latin Phrase of the Day:  “Et Libertas set pectus purim et fermium gestate; alias res obnoxiosae note in obscura latent.” Liberty is having a pure and dauntless heart; all else is slavery and hidden darkness
