The U.S. Constitution is a Contract, Not a Rule Book

Yet another email attack intended to confuse what people think about the United States Constitution has hit the web. The claim is that the idea the U.S. Constitution is a contract is a myth. The message further asserts that the Constitution, rather than being a contract, is a rule book, a set of instructions if you may, given by a bunch of delegates in 1787 to a soon-to-exist federal government.

Liberal Democrats 2012 Campaign of Fraud and Personal Destruction

My friend came to me and said, "I'm a Democrat, now." Excuse me? Was Albert defecting to the other side? Had he gone against a lifetime of Republican voting, save for his one foray into the third party idiocy when he voted for Perot?

9/11 Became Real at Ground Zero

The Eleventh Anniversary of the 9/11 Terror Attacks against the United States of America is upon us. Two hijacked jets struck the twin towers of the World Trade Center during the early morning hours of September 11, 2001. When the 110 floors of skyscrapers collapsed, among the missing were 343 firefighters bravely in the process of attempting to save as many lives as possible. In the weeks that followed was an unprecedented recovery effort at a site that became known later as "Ground Zero."

Kerry Washington’s Politics of Fear

September 6, 2012 - Kerry Washington at the Democrat National Convention: "Today, there are people out there trying to take away rights that our mothers, our grandmothers, and our great-grandmothers fought for. Rights that we fought for. Our right to vote. Our right to choose. Our right to affordable quality education. Equal pay. Access to health care. We the people cannot let that happen."

Romney Chooses Ideology with Paul Ryan Pick

Some members of the Republican Party are fearful of recognizing the truth. These "establishment" republicans believe all of the rhetoric that if they lean too far to the right the voters will run to Obama and the democrats. They believe that the independents want nothing to do with the right-left political spectrum, and are just looking for a bunch of moderates that have no position, no ideology, no plan other than to try to make everyone happy through non-confrontational politics.

Mortgage Meltdown - The Sequel

The mortgage meltdown that put us in our current economic difficulties (recession, depression, collapse) has been blamed on George W. Bush. Somehow, the Republican President had the ability to force people to take bad loans, force banks to act stupidly, disallowed regulations against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (even though republicans were calling for such during his first term), and with his magic want popped the housing bubble. In reality, like Obama's policies which are extending the economic slow down, the collapse was caused by democrats, and it was done on purpose.

Trouble with Treaties

The second clause of Article VI. of the United States Constitution reads: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land.

California’s War Over Red-Light Cameras

In California the war over Red Light Cameras at traffic intersections is being waged city by city, to the point that lawsuits are emerging in an attempt to stop the citizens from petitioning their local governments for a redress of grievances. Cities like Murrieta claim the cameras reduce accidents, and provides much needed revenue for the city. The real interests lie in the private companies that maintain the camera systems, who are willing to do anything to protect their profit source, including going after citizens who dare challenge them.

Netanyahu: Syrian Assad Regime Will Go

When it comes to the fate of the Assad regime in Syria, with the occurrence of violence in Syria, it is only a matter of time before the current government falls. In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the current Assad Regime in Syria will go - it is just a matter of when.

Bankruptcy: Cities First, Then The States

As we watch the slow collapse of the nations of Europe under the heavy weight of leftist entitlement spending, the reality of the destructive forces of socialist utopianism is all too real. The United States has trailed Europe on its dire course, and only now is the diabolical truth of a progressive agenda truly taking shape for more than just the politically savvy to notice.

Justice Roberts is Wrong, Nullify

When the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the Affordable Care Act came down the pike my phone went nuts, and my email bulged with requests for my analysis. I have given a few opinions, and have written a handful of things, regarding the ruling, but apparently not to the satisfaction of my readers and listeners. My lack of an opinion on the Supreme Court ruling of Obamacare has led to an avalanche of requests for more details.

Is Health Care Free, Yet?

When the Supreme Court ruling regarding the Affordable Health Care Act came down the pike, uninformed voters asked, "Does that mean my health care is free, now?"

Deeper than Immigration, State Sovereignty Is At Risk

This morning, not exactly anticipating my turn to be needled at the doctor's office, I was reading the literary selections in the waiting pen. Like most lobbies presented by health professionals, the material was either about fitness, health, or a couple samples of the liberal news media. Sometimes, sports magazines are available too. Those are the medical corrals I like most.

A Good and Moral Country, Anchor Babies, And Emotions

Emotions have their place. I have my sensitivities. As a good and moral country, we are very emotional about doing the right thing, and that is good when those emotions accompany rational thinking, and reasonable policies that remain within the realm of common sense, and the law.

King Obama Heckled by Disrespectful Reporter Regarding Unilateral Amnesty

The liberal left democrats don't think people notice their double standards.

Playing Politics

In a perfect world there would be no political parties. The voters would care less about political affiliations, and vote for the candidate they felt best reflected their beliefs, and were most willing to follow the authorities granted by the Law of the Land. Polls would be trustworthy, and politicians would act as servants to the people, not rulers over them.

Michigan Massacre Reported by KGB

TEA Party activists, conservatives, and other groups opposed to the President's policies have speculated that if the liberal democrats, led by der kommisar Barack Hussein Obama, continue to strip away freedoms in the fashion that they have been, we could wind up with blood in the streets.

Barack Obama Campaign Funded by Planned Parenthood Blood Money

Back in 2008 Obama was established as not only a pro-abortion candidate, but one that believes in infanticide as evidenced by his lack of support of an anti-infanticide bill in Illinois. The bill, if it had become law, would have outlawed the killing of babies that survive abortion.

Conservatives Believe in Community, Just Not Through Government

The liberal left's argument is about as old as they get. Because the right-wing conservative republicans are against entitlement programs including welfare, food stamps, and now Obama's health care law, the liberal left democrats claim the GOP is out to starve the poor, leave the homeless freezing in the cold, and force grandma to have no health care, social security, and for her to resort to eating cat food.

Dumbing Down of America Exposed in Florida Schools

It has been no secret that we are having an educational crisis in the United States. Public schools are doing worse and worse, unable to compete with private schools, homeschooled children, and for that matter the rest of the world. Some suggest that this is on purpose. By dumbing down our children we are preparing the future generations for more easily accepting authoritarian control by leftist systems of governance.
