Sure some of you have seen some of those man on the street interviews situations where they go up and ask really basic questions that people have no clue what youre talking about. You know, they think, you say who was the first president . They say, reagan . They just, they just, they have no idea. Its funny but its so sad because our founders, and particularly franklin and jefferson, emphasized education and they emphasized being informed. And they said our system of governance and our freedoms are dependent on a well informed and educated populace. Because they recognize that if the people were not well informed, that they would be easy to manipulate. And all it would take is dishonest politicians and the complicit news media and off you go into another direction very, very quickly. You can watch this and other programs online that booktv. Org.

Bighorn right up until the end is when he made that last move. That was the problem. When he put his battalion out of any kind of realistic support. It instead of going north he had gone south back up the way he came, instead of being like four miles a way, he was maybe two miles away, or even if youve been tracking more closely what is other battalions were doing, that was his failing. He should have kept better track of that, seeing that we know was a moving forward like he was supposed to, he should have seen that movement and responded to it. Dont think i can think of why he would keep going was that other column with the general very which was supposed to be coming south to meet them, maybe theres like a remote idea that he could see in the distance a Something Like that. But he was slowed down. He was way far away. To me its that final move because renos guys survive. Had custer been able to unite they wouldve made it through the battle, no doubt because if those two battalions c
I think that you will agree with that because the lieutenant that i saw failed as young officers, the ones who came in and thought that i thought im going to be a general tomorrow. And they were not successful. As a matter of fact when they kept hosing over their troops, the troops always found a way to set you up. So okay. What you want to do is come in and say that i am here to serve. As i told my unit in my battalion in iraq, the most expendable person in our entire battalion is me. Because my believe is a you can go out and get another battalion commander. But i cant go out and get another soldier. When that is your mentality and when they see that as your mentality and when you understand that that is the model that jesus gave us. He came to serve and not to be served. That is why i say the bible is greatest leadership manual that the world has ever known. If you stick close to that word, meditate on it day and night, in turn not from the left or the right and youll be billed grea
Involved about six weeks of working together, and then to extended solo terms two extended solo terms. Madison writes 20 essays in a row. He did that well hamilton was practicing law. Then madison had to run to be a Convention Delegate for ratification. Then hamilton writes 20 in a row. You have this partnership that begins with them working together and then and in these extended solos. It is a very interesting process. Brian lamb when did you get the idea of separating your book into founders. I will ask you to give us a little bit about each one of them and how they relate to madison. Starting with George Washington. David stewart with washington, you know that he was the man. He was the Great American hero the Great American leader. Without him, there is no country. And so, when i discovered madisons connection with washington, he was always going to be in a second position. Washington was the out the mail the alpha male. Others in that generation had problems. Madison came to term
Their childrens student tuition which is coming up very soon. We need to fix this. Thats why i joined with mr. Moran and others in our area and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to bring Bipartisan Legislation to the floor last saturday to ensure that all federal employees, whether exempt or furloughed by no fault of their own, are paid once the shutdown end. Im pleased the bill passed the house 4070. That both a nate republican and democrat senator had this bill on hold. I dont understand, madam speaker, the senates ways of going about this but i think if any senator has a hold they ought to feel stongly enough that they ought to do it publicly so we know who they are. But i understand theres both a republican and a democrat. I ask them on behalf of the people having a difficult time to lift that hold. Additionally, this house acted to ensure that members of the military and Defense Department civilians would be paid on time. Im please at im pleased that the pay our military ac
