Why is it that, when caught by the strong and unyielding stance of our founding fathers, that Progressives like to fall back on what is slander against Jefferson, itself created by Progressive scholars? I am speaking about the accusation that Jefferson was a Deist when the evidence against that claim is written on the Jefferson…
Those who do not truly understand Jefferson should exercise a great deal of caution when invoking his words in support of their positions. I know the man well enough to know I am not and likely will never be an ‘expert.’ I do, however, know him well enough to understand how easily his duplicitous nature…
My friend, whom I do respect, attempts to convince the reader that Thomas Jefferson would say the Constitution is rigid and and that it should always be read as if it were passed down from the hand of God. We take this as gospel during these days of the mistaken and erroneous “progressive” idea of…

What do you know about the Pharisees and Christ’s admonishment of their hypocrisy? The Pharisees were the keepers of Hebrew law, and, as such, they served much the same as our judges today. But, while the Pharisees dictated what the law meant to the people, they, themselves, refused to obey their own dictates. Matthew 23…
The problem with living through history – especially where cultural change is concerned – is that the majority do not see the changes that are happening as they take place.

Yes! Absolutely! You CAN understand it. You don’t need an attorney. While writing “How Government destroys Liberty & Freedom” I realized patents are included in our Constitution. I learned it 20 years ago and had forgotten. Patents MUST be really important. Why do I say that? What else…
