National “Security” Is Much Costlier Than Constitutional Common Defense

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I do not like this term “national security.” It is too ubiquitous. The 18th and 19th century version of that would be “common defense.” It would be very specific and it would be a very limited power to be used very cautiously and judiciously. The operative word is defense, not offense, not humanitarian. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…

Money Is Not The Purpose Of Life, The Transcendent Is The Purpose

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Money is not transcendent. I’m not so naïve to think you don’t need it and some manner of wealth in order to survive, or in some instances in order to share it with those who may be temporarily or permanently less fortunate, is a good thing.

Conservative Is Just A Brand…And It’s Definitely Not Libertarian

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Conservatism has very little to do with politics.

Detroit Going Belly Up And Tea Party Sinks To New Low

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Today’s conservatism requires you to do very un-conservative things. It requires you to hold very un-conservative thought. It requires you to promote things that Christian conservatives should never be promoting, and that is a nonstop engagement in war.

Paul Gottfried: Americans Are All Socialists Now

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - There’s a guy in a state that’s modestly trying to rein some spending in and the people hate him. They despise him.
