Apathetic Sheeple, Ginned-Up Revolutionaries, HealthCare.gov… Welcome To America

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I think you would have a revolution in thought before you’d have a revolution in government, meaning you would know and you will know when a clamoring mass of people are agitated enough and in sufficient numbers to either demand a change or to effect a change as a result of that demand. People keep asking the same question, don’t they? Isn’t that interesting? […]

Conservatism Should Come First And Has Nothing To Do With Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Conservatism is an intellectual exercise. It is an exercise in thinking, in bringing the magnificent past, the history that we have to draw from, which is unbelievable, the history we have to draw from, the events, the great writers, the philosophies.

Entitlement And Largesse Make Today’s Generation The Worst Ever

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We love to call those guys who were denied access to the World War II Memorial the greatest generation, even though I say that the generation of men born between 1750 and 1780 were probably the greatest generation. I mean no offense to the great generation of the last century. We call them the greatest generation. Why? Why do we call them that, for […]

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

Stop The Spread Of American Mythology By Studying Her History

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – But this urban legend that is creeping in about what the commissioners were sent and the delegates were sent to do in Philadelphia, this has got to stop. This is coming from some guy named Rob Natelson, who has allegedly researched this. Apparently he hasn’t actually read any of the commission statements.
