Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – While common defense is a lofty goal and one of the lofty aspirations of our federal constitution, it is not the only loft aspiration.

Nothing Is Private Anymore, And Americans Are Okay With That

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I tell you what, this terrorism racket is the national security gift that just keeps on giving the whole decade long, maybe the whole millennia long.

James Rosen And Julian Assange Are Guilty Of The Same “Crime”

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The Economist, a magazine operated out of the UK, has a story yesterday titled, “Fox News and Julian Assange.” This is interesting.

Authorization To Use Military Force… And Constitutional Illiteracy

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Folks, some of us have been warning you and warning the country and warning our fellow countrymen about this awful thing called the AUMF, the Authorization to Use Military Force. This will allow never-ending wars to continue. Congress doesn’t have to authorize them. They don’t actually have to authorize them. Then they don’t have to vote on them. They don’t have to vote on […]
