National Military vs Militias

Militia Needs Everything the Standing Military Has Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "The Virginia militia, the South Carolina militia, the Georgia militia, the North Carolina militia, the Tennessee volunteers, they were already armed.

Second Amendment Is About Arms and Militias Not Weapons

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Why do you think the Constitution goes into such detail? Why did the Virginians spend almost a week debating the militia clause in their convention to ratify? They were terrified of the consequences of disarming the militia, meaning making the militia not an army; making them a bunch of skeet shooters. That’s not a militia. That’s an invitation to get invaded and killed. Check […]

Patrick Deneen Asks A Great Question: “What Is An American Conservative?”

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There is an essay at The American Conservative Magazine website. [mocking] “Mike, you were hard on The American Conservative Magazine yesterday.” Yeah, well, I was just being honest. I don’t ask for jingoism from anyone else, so I don’t expect that anyone expects they’re going to get jingoism or Homerism from yours truly.

Interview With Tom Woods On Nullification

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – First of all, you wrote the book Nullification. I’m sure you saw that yesterday the Oklahoma House voted by a vote of 72-20, pretty overwhelming, to nullify Obamacare.

American Exceptionalism And Double Standards

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We must guard against American militia members because we’re all a bunch of kooks and radical nutjobs that can’t be trusted with a rocket-propelled grenade and semiautomatic weapons and what have you. Our Middle Eastern Islamic counterpart, there are militia groups that the federal government does love and admire and believes needs to be armed. I think we strain the definition of the word […]
