Path to Liberty
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Michael Boldin covers the original constitution, principles of the revolution, and strategy – all with an eye on advancing liberty.
Episodes
The founders fought a long, bloody war to secede from the British - where government held total power, and the people were expected to comply, or die. The views they held EVEN before shots were fired - that’s what America is supposed to be. On this episode, it’s the story of the REAL American Revolution

1768 Boston. British agents board John Hancock's ship. No warrant. No authorization. What happens next isn't a petition or a court filing. It's what the founders showed a free people must do when government oversteps - a timeless blueprint of how to be free, whether the government likes it, or not.

He wanted a president for life - the ultimate big-government founder. Yet Alexander Hamilton's position on war powers makes every modern president look like they’ve completely betrayed the constitution. The standard they buried. Original sources. Direct quotes. The truth the schools don’t teach.

January 8, 1790: George Washington delivered the first State of the Union. It wasn't a royal decree. It was a job report. No applause. No guests. Just the shortest annual message in history. He could have acted like a king. Instead, he called for an armed, educated people ready to defend their own liberty. He established the standard for a free republic - defense, war powers, education, debt and more - and showed us exactly how it’...
Most who talk about the Monroe Doctrine hope you’ve never read it. In this episode, we go right to the source, James Monroe’s message to congress on Dec 2, 1823. Understanding his exact words, placing them alongside George Washington and John Quincy Adams, shows the doctrine as it was understood at the time: restraint and non-intervention.

The American Revolution wasn't what they taught you in school. And what happened in the years leading up to 1776 never stops. From ancient Athens to revolutionary America, there's a pattern most people never see - until it's too late.

In 1767, John Dickinson answered the timeless question: Who are a free people? On this episode, we uncover the FATAL TRAP - the shocking method politicians use to disguise tyranny as legal power and the “fatal error” that the “Penman of the Revolution” warned would guarantee despotism.

They twisted the words. Flipped the definitions. Made traitors look like patriots and patriots look like traitors. Samuel Adams warned us in 1748. Thomas Gordon exposed the trick decades earlier. The founders and old revolutionaries knew what we’ve long forgotten.

It’s the oldest trick in the book - a scam for power and control. From ancient tyrants who faked attacks, to the founders’ own warnings, this is the real Trojan Horse that the people have faced all through history. The greatest danger isn’t a foreign invader - it’s the ruler who PRETENDS to love liberty.

The founders knew what most ignore today: freedom has a prerequisite. KNOWLEDGE. Tyrants throughout history understood this - learning makes people argue instead of obey. From ancient Rome to feudal Europe to today, it's the same playbook. Ban it. Control it. Lie about it. The question is: what are YOU going to do about it?

Spooner understood something most Americans still refuse to believe today. Every check on federal power you were taught about? They don’t work. Oaths? Meaningless. Elections? Theater. Separation of powers? Not in practice. As he put it, tyrants only care about one thing.

The Anti-Federalist vs Federalist debate you were never taught. It wasn't about checks and balances. It was about one word: TRUST. The Anti-Federalists said you can NEVER trust the man. The Federalists countered - maybe so, but you CAN trust the PLAN. It was a core conflict over ratification - and an ironic twist that tells us which side was right.

The Anti-Federalists weren't just arguing politics; they were issuing dire warnings for generations to come. They predicted the Constitution contained the seeds of tyranny that would lead to a corrupt aristocracy or monarchy. On this episode, we explore five of their specific predictions and ask the essential question: Were they right?

In America, the law is king. But here's what the schools don't teach: even government's laws aren't above THE law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land - acts beyond it are void. The Founders told us over and over: violating these so-called “laws” isn't inherently wrong. As Patrick Henry put it, we're "not bound to yield obedience." And sometimes, it’s duty. This is the revolutionary case for disobedience that built Amer...
When government goes beyond its limits, those acts carry no legal force at all. They’re usurpations - STOLEN POWER. And they deserve to be treated that way too.

From ancient Rome to the streets of Boston, a timeless formula has always demanded the same price: liberty. The founders didn’t discover this danger - they recognized the pattern. They had seen it in the history books, and they knew the tragedy in Boston was its predictable result.

On October 20th, 1774, the First Continental Congress passed the Continental Association, a coordinated economic shutdown in response to relentless attacks by the British Empire, including the hated Coercive Acts. It was a four pronged strategy that included a revolutionary, local enforcement mechanism - taking over with self-government from the bottom up.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to respond to the hated Coercive Acts - Parliament’s brutal punishment for the Boston Tea Party. They had a decision: submit to tyranny, or resist. Their answer was the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. On this episode, one of the most important and most forgotten documents of the American Revolution. A direct precursor to both the Declaration of Independence and ...
Life, liberty, and property weren’t just theories - they were the foundation of the American Revolution. John Locke wrote them, the Declaration adopted them, but Samuel Adams turned them into action. In 1772, he drafted an incredibly important, but almost totally forgotten document which led to the network of communication and resistance that laid the groundwork for independence.
Same system. Different flag. The Revolutionaries Declared Independence in 1776 - and put their lives on the line to keep it. Yet today, the system we live under is virtually the same - in practice as the British system they fought a long war to secede from
