Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Audio and Transcript – The fact of the matter is that this is a contest between two warring parties that have conned about 270 million people into believing that there is the proverbial dime’s worth of difference between the two, but it is a war.  There is a war going on and it’s not a war against radical Islam.  It is a war to see who gets to spend the $3.8 trillion in loot that the general government is either going to confiscate or is going to materialize out of thin air.  That’s what the contest is about.  No one is suggesting that we begin the process of dismantling the leviathan monster we call a general government.  Nobody is suggesting that except me and a few other people that I guess are just a bunch of misanthropes.  As Gottfried points out earlier today, conservatives aren’t suggesting that.  They’re suggesting we have a treaty, a summit, let’s make a deal. “Let’s make a big government deal, starring your favorite stars on the ultra-right media tour circuit and your enemies on the ultra-left liberal circuit.”  This is a competition to spend other people’s money. Check out the rest in today’s audio and transcript…

 

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript

Mike:  David, you are next up.  How are you?

Caller David:  I’m good.  Quien es mas macho, Mike.

Mike:  What does that mean?

Caller David:  That’s from an old Saturday Night Live skit, who is more macho?

Mike:  Obviously ‘tis not I.

Caller David:  Real quick before I get to my quick point, I wanted to let you know about my website called FoundersCorner.us and the big monuments I built to our founding principles and those who carried them on.  I know that we’re going to war no matter who the president is.  We’re going to be in massive global war next year because someone is going to do something stupid and then we’re going to get dragged into it no matter what.  I know we’re going into an economic depression that’s going to be pretty substantial.  The question I have is who do you think you’d rather have as president at the time, the guy who takes away our First Amendment rights, the guy who takes away our due process rights, kills people with drones without trial, or the man who the press will now have a rabid incentive to go after with a Tea Party that’s sick of a RINO?  I think it’s pretty clear we need Romney in there because at least we have a chance of holding him accountable.

Mike:  Okay.  All right.  Fantastic.  Anything else?

Caller David:  Huh?

Mike:  Anything else?

Caller David:  There’s a big difference.  I think when you have Obama in there —

Mike:  No, no, there’s not.  Is there a big difference between $21.1 trillion in national debt and $22 trillion in national debt?

Caller David:  Well, I understand your point, but one can be held accountable and one cannot.

Mike:  Accountable to who?

Caller David:  The Tea Party will hold Romney accountable.  The Campaign for Liberty —

Mike:  Okay.  So John Boehner is going to lose his reelection campaign because the Tea Party is going after him, because the Tea Party is going to — look, you’re calling me and presenting something to me and I’m just counter-arguing, politely, I might add.  So Boehner then is going to be dis-elected for betraying the Tea Party on budget deals and deficit deals and what have you, using the current arguing point, right?

Caller David:  It’s not just the election.  It’s what continues after.  What we need is an engaged citizenry.  We’re finally starting to get an engaged citizenry, but we won’t have it with Obama in office.  Romney, I’ve called in before and said he’s a clown.  I’m a Ron Paul guy myself, but you have to — the guy who sends drones over people’s houses and kills them without trials is just too dangerous.

Mike:  So do you think that the Romney administration is not going to send drones over people’s houses and kill them?

Caller David:  I think it will be far less likely and he will be held accountable.

Mike:  What evidence do you have of that?

Caller David:  I’ve got two choices here.

Mike:  You have the Romney campaign and the candidate himself excoriating the president and goading him and badgering him nonstop for leading from behind, all during March and April and May of this year, over the fact that he did not act viciously, violently, and quickly enough when it came to helping get rid of Gaddafi.

Caller David:  I understand your point.

Mike:  No, you don’t.

Caller David:  Where will people be able to speak up?  When you lose your First Amendment rights, you won’t be able to complain about it, you won’t be able to act upon it.  Under Obama, we will lose internet rights, due process rights, the NDAA will be more active than under Romney, which hopefully will be exposed.

Mike:  So Romney is opposed to the NDAA?  He’s been asked this question.  What was his answer?

Caller David:  I didn’t say he’s opposed to the NDAA but what you need — the most important thing in government is an active citizenry, people who will hold them accountable.  You will not have that under Obama because the press will keep them —

Mike:  I say you’d have more of it under Obama.  If you want an active citizenry, I would suggest to you that if Obama is reelected, you’ll have an even more animated Tea Party and even more animated opposition, not less.

Caller David:  Not when we can’t speak, not when the internet is shut down, not when people are being rounded up in camps.

Mike:  So they’re going to shut the internet down and put Qualcomm and Sprint and Verizon and AT&T and America Online and all the big ones, they’re going to put them all out of business?  Google is gone?

Caller David:  It will be monitored in the way they do in China.  There will be such a suppression of free speech, you won’t be able to hold them accountable.

Mike:  There already is a suppression of free speech, if you’re keeping track, and it didn’t start with Obama.  It began an awful long time ago.  Who was it that authorized the SEC to tax your cell phone?  Do you know?

Caller David:  You ain’t seen nothing yet.  You wait.  You wait until Obama —

Mike:  You know what, David?  You can doomsday, apocalypse scenario on this show.  I’ll let you host the rest of the show if you want.  It will not upset me one iota, nor will it change my mind that the inexorable course is not going to be altered by November 6, 2012, not in the manner in which you are describing it.  The leviathan is going to continue.  It’s an organic entity.  It doesn’t matter who is the puppet figurehead that is directing the trillions of dollars in resources.  What this is, at the end of the day — I’m surprised that you come on the program and announce yourself as a Ron Paul supporter, as if that’s going to make me give you a different answer.  That’s how much people think, apparently, of my application to critical thinking skills, that I can be bought off if you just say you’re a Ron Paul supporter.  That’s kind of insulting, my friend.

The fact of the matter is that this is a contest between two warring parties that have conned about 270 million people into believing that there is the proverbial dime’s worth of difference between the two, but it is a war.  There is a war going on and it’s not a war against radical Islam.  It is a war to see who gets to spend the $3.8 trillion in loot that the general government is either going to confiscate or is going to materialize out of thin air.  That’s what the contest is about.  No one is suggesting that we begin the process of dismantling the leviathan monster we call a general government.  Nobody is suggesting that except me and a few other people that I guess are just a bunch of misanthropes.  As Gottfried points out earlier today, conservatives aren’t suggesting that.  They’re suggesting we have a treaty, a summit, let’s make a deal.  [mocking game show announcer] “Let’s make a big government deal, starring your favorite stars on the ultra-right media tour circuit and your enemies on the ultra-left liberal circuit.”  This is a competition to spend other people’s money.
