The Founding Fathers Left A Roadmap For Our Culture As Much As Our Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let me say to you something you won’t hear very many members of the talk radio mafia, a derisive name given to talk radio show hosts by Mary Anastasia O’Grady back in 2008 because radio hosts were refusing to endorse Senator McCain back then. I don’t believe that this juncture in the lives of Americans or of Western civilization in general is that much […]

The Holy War Waged On Muslims Comes From American Exceptionalism And Moral “Authority”

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This entire Syrian debacle or impending debacle is all about inertia. If you listen closely to Secretary of State Kerry, if you listen closely to Senator Corker or Senator Menendez or John Boehner or Nancy Pelosi, any of them, if you listen closely to this, they basically said: We have to do this because we are we. We’re the only country in the world […]

Why Do Americans Love Duck Dynasty?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – All the episodes that I’ve seen of Duck Dynasty all include something the Robertson family is all doing together. I would say that these people are almost like we have unearthed some Cro-Magnon men, some Neanderthals that were froze in the bayou ice and then we turned them loose in northeast Louisiana. Someone forgot to tell the Robertsons you should be running around with […]

Community Rises Above Inequality And Endures

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As we grow further and further and further away from any shared theological experience. We grow further and further away from any possible chance to be knit together as communities ever again. I don’t think that this plays itself out until there’s anarchy. I just think we’re in a phase right now, an epoch, and it’s our job as good Christian citizens to fix […]

Catholic University Presidents Should Listen To John F. Kennedy And Keep Religion Out Of Politics

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is one of the great speeches ever recorded. This is how Kennedy dealt with this. Not only do I think he gets it right, he quotes James Madison, he knows the story about how the Baptists were persecuted in the State of Virginia back in the 1780s that caused Madison and Jefferson to write the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom. It’s just a […]

Pennsylvania AG Kane Refuses To Obey The Law… But You Still Have To Obey

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I don’t have any problem with the Pennsylvania attorney general having whatever opinion she likes to have or wishes to have about the importance of or judiciousness of the gay marriage ban in Pennsylvania. The fact of the matter is you run for the office of attorney general so that you can enforce the laws of the state, whatever state that may be, or […]

Public Education Is Designed To Create Workers, Not Thinkers

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We have education systems today and we all agree the education is not to make better Christian young men and women of great virtue and great promise and great potential. We have an education system that is designed and specifically and explicitly constructed to do what? Train the next generation of workers. We all say it all the time. Check out today’s transcript for […]

Faith Carried The Founding Fathers Through And It Can Carry Us Through, Too

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The only way you can really stay the course, I think anyway, is through the exercise of your faith. Just know that this is part of my Lord’s plan for me. I have to execute the difficult parts, as well as the happy parts, with equal fervor and equal cheer, and just be of the belief that this was as it was intended to […]
