  • Constitution Day

    Keith discusses Constitution Day, September 17. 

    Constitution Day is the anniversary of 9/17/1787, when the federal Constitution was signed by the state delegates in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. The day marks the completion of defining the expressly delegated roles of the central government, as assigned to it by the States. Following the signing the document was sent to every State’s legislative body for consideration and then ratification, creating our Union in its current form. 

    2004 Federal Public Law 108-447, Division J, Title 1, Section 111(b) requires the Constitution be taught each September 17 to every student in every school that receives Federal funding. 

    Keith guest taught the Constitution at a home school collaborative/private school. His experience is reported in this 23 minute podcast.

  • Right To Bear Arms
    Keith discusses the right to keep and bear arms with Roland Demers. Roland is a tactical training and firearms instructor, and a criminal investigator.We cover the natural law basis of the right to bear arms and the second amendment’s recognition of this right, the Federal government’s lack of any expressly deligated authority to write laws on firearms, and the individual State’s authority. Practical considerations are discussed with experience and facts on murder rates vs. gun ownership rates and differences in outcome between States with their widely varying levels of infringement on our natural right to bear arms.The show ends with how a new US Constitutional amendment proposed by an Article V Convention of States can resolve the arguments over Federal firearms restrictions and make us all safer.

  • Key West and Federal Land Holdings
    Keith discusses a trip to Key West, the Everglades, Lake Okeechobee, and the federal government taking and keeping unconstitutional control of land throughout the union. He rambles on about his observations of the federal government’s intrusions into life seen on the trip.Key West is an interesting pro-Liberty town. A live and let live place. It seceded briefly from the US in 1982, forming the Conch Republic to protest US Border Patrol’s roadblock and treatment of all of the Florida keys as another nation. The federal government grabbed all control of the Dry Tortugas from Florida in 1992 (the westernmost group in the Florida Keys). Congress has legislated the legal uses of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, including authorizing fish and wildlife to use the lake. Keith wonders why the federal government owns 48% of California, and pays only $40 million in lieu of property taxes based on their own definition of the land’s value.

  • Kings and Queens of the Supreme Court
    This episode is a review of how the Supreme Court assigned itself so much power and what the people should do to reign it in. Several Court majority opinions that have significantly eroded liberty and unconstitutionally grabbed power are listed. The July 2018 retirement of Justice Kennedy is bounced against several points of view with recorded clips of Rachael Maddow, Dave Smith, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Neil Gorsuch, and KrisAnne Hall. The selection of new Justices has become far too important due to their own wide ranging definitions of their own power. Term limits and better restrictions on the court’s authority using constitutional amendments are covered.
