“What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi What follows is less than a scholarly tome. It is an accumulation of thoughts gleaned from a lifetime of personal observation and study, so I only propose it as something to think about. My premise is…
“And the children of Israel said to them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for you have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly…
“. . . And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.” Justice Scalia. With the compass of “justice & reason” and a career dedicated to upholding our…
LAWLESSNESS IN THE HEADLINES: The Death of the First Amendment Have you heard? The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled it is ‘Constitutional’ for our schools to teach Christianity to students. They are not just teaching about the religion; they are teaching the religion. The Court even ruled that it is ‘Constitutional’ for our schools…
I posted a little ‘pop quiz’ on my blog. I’d like you to hop over there and take the quiz for me, please: POP QUIZ: How Many Constitutional Rights?
Have They Assumed Control? They may have assumed control. Michael Smith once again has jolted the brain and leaves images of the mind that would have been unthinkable a few short years ago. The poor guy couldn’t get to sleep the other night. Little wonder why, with what he was think about. I wouldn’t be…
PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: Rand and Libertarians Reject the Key Element of Liberty I have been hard on Glenn Beck on this and especially on my other blog, The OYL. However, I do not mean to give the impression that I have anything against him, personally. It’s just that I do not like the general direction…
LAWLESSNESS IN THE HEADLINES: Obama to Use Executive Orders to End 2nd Amendment This post is actually tied to the push for ‘Net Neutrality.’ Both are lawless actions, but one demonstrates why the other is being pushed. First, let’s look at something. Here is a link to a search I did for “Obama outlaw AR ammo.’ …
PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: Rights MUST Come From God Or They Are NOT Rights Did you see or hear about the CNN debate between Chris Cuomo and the Alabama Chief Justice, Roy Moore? In that interview, Cuomo boldly asserts that rights come from government, and that the definition of words — and by extension, the laws…
I’ve been really negative over the past few years…actually since about midway through the first W.Bush term due to how the Democrats, having recovered from their momentary brush with reality after 9/11, saw political advantage in every single wartime setback and chose to honor their 60’s anti-establishment roots by ripping America and every citizen who…
U.S. Constitution Article. I. (Legislative Branch) Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. . . . Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power To . . . To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,…
THE RULE OF LAW: Constitutional Scholar Says Obama set to Declare Himself First American Emperor This nation was founded on a belief in the rule of law, not the rule of men. It is under the law that we are all equal. It is under the fair and impartial application of those laws that we all…
Jefferson’s Papers Draft Kentucky Resolutions [before 4 October 1798] 1. Resolved that the several states composing the US. of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style & title of a Constitution for the US. and of Amendments thereto, they constituted…
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. . . .…
What, really, is the problem with American culture, politics and government? In my analysis, it isn’t Democrats or Republicans. It isn’t Obama, Hillary, Pelosi or Reid. It isn’t Boehner, Cruz, Paul or McConnell. It isn’t a black problem or a white problem. It isn’t a LGBTQ or heteronormative problem.It is a failure of people. We…
The Constitution of the United States Article. V. The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to…
In the Washington Post, columnist Charles Lane writes a predictably partisan – and incorrect – version of recent history about the Halbig v. Sebelius decision in the DC US District Court. Under the head “Progressives learn the hard way that the Constitution is obstructionist”, we are treated to the same tired lament that Woodrow Wilson…
The sadness and anger I feel about our current situation in America is that what we are going through as a nation was avoidable. It was completely foreseeable – and was actually predicted 226 years ago as the debate raged over the ratification of our Constitution. In February of 1788, James Madison (Publius) penned Federalist…
“Barack is a self-centered, utterly unfeeling, revolution-seeking drone who cannot be bothered with the hard work of genuine leadership. And as terrifying as it sounds, he is a typical Marxist leader who wants to “save humanity,” but finds individuals not important enough to consider. It’s no wonder Barack’s White House loves Mao, a possible role…
OK, this took a few days to put together, and it still isn’t done. There are still several pages to add, but it is complete enough for the purpose at hand. A couple days ago, I had an encounter with another one of those people who insist the founders of this nation intentionally designed and…
