I wanted to write something about the 9th Circus decision but after reading the actual 29 page order, there is nothing much to say. Both Powerline and National Review have good roundups of the ruling. In my opinion, the order reads almost like the court decided on a case that wasn’t even before them. They…
Here are my random words of advice to those about to enter the real world from the “safe space” of the educational complex. What follows (in no particular order) is a mix of things my grandparents and parents taught me, what I learned from great philosophers and the lessons I have learned over the years…
There are a few things happening on our college campuses when taken individually, are direct affronts to several of the provisions of the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution – but as is historically true of progressivism, the individual acts must be viewed in combination to see the larger strategy at play. While the…
Ted Cruz has obviously read the Declaration of Independence. Where are the tele-prompters for Mr. Cruz? Oh, there are NOT any. Why doesn’t Mr. Cruz need a teleprompter? Compare and contrast the vision of greatness held by the Ted Cruz with “Dreams of a [Marxist] Father” The American dream versus an America permanently changed. Ted…
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…
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…
Culture is important. This is a statement that the American political right trots out often – but what does it mean? We tend to talk about culture in the political and social context around election time but it goes much, much deeper than that. Take the Chinese for example. The Chinese, as a nation, are…
We like to think that we are still a republic – and we do go through the motions of a republic, holding our elections, fighting over our political positions, witnessing our checks and balances, revering the wisdom of our Founding Fathers – and watching our three branches of national government lumber along. The sad truth…
TEACHABLE MOMENTS: The ‘Public’ Square does not Negate Inalienable Rights If you own a business and you do business with ‘the public,’ this does not negate your Natural Rights, nor does it require you to subordinate those Natural Rights to government control. Anyone who claims otherwise is an enemy of liberty and seeks to control you…
TRUTH: Your Liberty was Won by Pastors, from Their Pulpits! The First Amendment is under attack by radical Leftists, and the Left is silent. Where are you, ‘liberals?’ Where are all of you ‘liberals who claim to be principled, to believe in liberty and the separation of Church and State? Where are you, ACLU? Where is…
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…
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. We all know about the miracle of compound interest and how money can grow (at least it used to) when the interest is returned to the principal and the next period’s interest is calculated on the larger amount. But this “miracle” also works in…
FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: Not All Property Is ‘Private’ This post is primarily addressed to my ‘Conservative’ friends, but also to those few ‘Libertarians’ who happen to follow my blogs, as well. I have written several posts about corporations to which these friends of mine have taken offense. They seem to think I am attacking private…
LESSONS IN LOGIC: Taking the Hobby Lobby Case to Its Logical Conclusions The Hobby Lobby case is an excellent example of what happens when we turn Natural Law on its head to suit our desires rather than seek to structure our society to work according to that same Natural Law. In short, it illustrates what happens…
By the request of our resident blond: PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: Deception and Back-Door Attacks on the First Amendment As I continue to read about the past, I am beginning to see the future they wrote about being built all around us. I also become more competent at seeing through the subterfuge that has been…
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.“ “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master— that’s all.”…
FUNDAMENTALS IN NATURAL LAW: The Govt. Position on Hobby Lobby and Corporations is Correct This post will not make the majority of Christians, Conservatives or even many Libertarians very happy with me, but it is still the truth. I am not going to bother linking to it, but I am reacting specifically to the Supreme Court…
This post is about stories that — if you are looking — are popping up at an alarming rate: FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: U.S. Government Openly Violating Natural Law I almost titled this one under “Tyranny in the Headlines,” because every story listed in this post represents an open act of tyranny. However, since these…
YOU ARE NO LONGER BOUND BY FEDERAL LAW!!! Hear me, and hear me clearly. The U.S. Government is in violation of the Social Contract. We know the Social Contract that formed this nation as the U.S. Constitution, and those which formed the States as the State Constitutions. Together, they create and define the laws by…
